Life is At Best An Enigma

Life is a flash in the pan,

What a mystery it is, man!

One moment you are here, the other you are gone,

And, as per our beliefs, a new mantle you don!

And so the journey of the soul goes on

While you reap exactly what you have sown!

Is this the truth or just a construct to make sense of what at the bottom of life lies,

For all we know, it might just be a game of dice!

May be our lives are governed by blind chance,

And we just to the tune of random forces dance!

And lest the randomness of it all frighten us,

We tend to believe in a greater design without much fuss!

Don’t all these eternal questions make life an enigma,

And lend it its ineffable mystique and charisma?
