what is …life

let me look within

and introspect 

what is …life 

is it 

a series of finite situations  

flip -flopped into a random loop

driven by the algorithm of Karma

which accumulates 

bugs and brilliance 

as the program is executed 

layer by layer

factoring the residual merit

of previous boot

till the  blue screen of death

compels reformatting 

or is it 

a complex railway system

running

on one rail of thought

and other rail of action 

meshed into a  network

of junctions,switches and branch lines 

and the decision taken at each switch

determines the further passage 

and when 

the locomotive runs out of steam

and tracks are worn out with friction 

life comes to a standstill

what … is life 

let me look within

and introspect
