Purpose of our lives



Hatred has sicken us
Unrest is like hell
Days start with busy
24/7 we work for us
Selfishness in blood

Politics is blabber's dilemma
Channels hunt for them
Showing stuffs
No time for pray
Goodness is gone

Why am I here for?
To torture?
Sick are deprived
Warriors rule them
And I watch them

Money is life
Life is worthless
Some do this
Some do that
No peace in us
We make us hell

What is the purpose of our lives?
To rule them?
To become one of them?
For deriving worldly pleasure?
Why the hell are they doing this?
Why can't they stop these manics?
The winner rules
And the loser weeps
What the hell is going with us?
After all, we are born of same blood

Ravi Kant

Hello friends, I am from India. Coming to my educational details, I am an electrical engineer and currently I am in the final phases of my doctoral program. In due course of time I have imbibed some flavors of poetic thoughts, which eventually came out unconditionally, all of a sudden. I was afraid at the beginning that I won't make a good poem so I was reluctant to do so. On the other hand I started with a short story that I was little confident about. But, after 6 short stories were published I got tired. Somehow poetry was in the veins and therefore I started with one. Poetry.com came to my help, I enjoyed getting encouraging review and also tasted bitterness. But in the end, I loved sharing my poems here and enjoyed reading others as well. Now, I am perplexed on how my fear turned out to be my love. I wished to be in the top 12 ranks at least for once, so I tried. I didn't thought I could make it 1st but somehow I could manage it on 30 and 31th Oct. In course of my journey to the top list I have gone through many poems and enjoyed many of them. What I realized at the end is those poems weren't just poems. They talked about various peoples, their livelihood, their humorous wits, their sorrows, pains, love for the other, they also talked about moral and what our almighty god says. I cherished my happiness in these poems and sadness at times. I am also happy that I am a part of this community.Thanks to the Poet's community.
