Why Are We?

Syon Shriyansh Behara 2007 (Odisha)

Rhymed
What is the meaning of our existence?
What is the meaning of our lives?
What is the purpose of us?
What does one must do if he survives?

Why do we live if we have to die?
Why do we die if we have to exist?
Why do we want to live forever?
Why do we not know life in a gist?

How does one go with the flow?
How does one not want to know?
How is that no one questions?
How our heartbeats go slow?

Living the life the fullest?
Enjoying the life as the greatest?
I don't know why, what I think is how I think
When will I conquer this endless quest.
