Theme: Man

Puzzling Enigma

Man is a puzzling enigma,
Of crass superstitions, and dogma!
A bundle of wishes and infinite desires,
Caught deeply and intricately, in worldly mires!
One who aspires to achieve, the impossible,
And hopes to see God, the invisible!
Too often, he values money over relation,
And thinks, life is just, a game of fun!
He thinks, being born a man, is a great boon,
But he becomes tired and disillusioned, too soon!
He learns and masters, the tricks of every trade,
Unbeknown, one day, from this world, he will fade!
Alas, he learns the secrets of life, so late,
When he dies, closed is even, the Hell's gate!
