What is Life?
Life is giving life? Or is it completing
one's tenure on this Earth?
Life is looking down on others? Or is it
uplifting someone to your level?
Life is making merry? Or is it making
merry the less fortunate?
Life is having fortune on a platter?
Or is it making other's fortune? Be it
your family, or your friends, or your
less fortunate living beings.
Why were there revolutions in the many evolutions?
Dinosaurs died to provide life to others!
French revolution took place to provide
life to lesser beings.
Are we following the same rule now?
Oh! Yes, Death is end of one Life, and rebirth of others!
