What is the Meaning of Life?

You don't play with
my invisible calling. You were
shot at, in the trench, defining pain.

It was ethereal, about
the recession of the quality of man
The highest grief was of the earth.

You know how the
bargaining works. You sell your heart
and purchase the mind to live happily?

The quality of man is deteriorating. Value for things of the heart is getting lessened and the value of things related to mind is growing. Mind is ruling the heart whereby there can be material progress but happiness and values disappear gradually.

One needs to pause and look around in order to escape vicious circle of today's lifestyle.  A good poem that reminds one of poem published on 6th Dec. titled 'Pretense'.
