LIFE-BEATS(A POEM)

The 
Repetitive Rhythm 
Of 
Daily Life 
Beating With Its Customary 
Notes: 
Discordant Yet Distinctive 
And 
The 
Lurking Longings 
For 
Solitude & Satisfaction 
Are 
Forever 
At War! 

A 
Man Is But A Pattern 
Of 
Mundane Details 
All His Life. 

In 
The Beginning 
He Desires To 
Create A History 
Full Of 
Unique Instances! 
Alas! 
The Result 
In The End 
Yields Otherwise 
And, 
He Becomes 
A Victim 
Of That History 
So Carefully Woven! 

Is 
Life 
(As They Say —) 
Everything 
Except 
For Living?
