Raison D'etre Poem by Deluke Muwanigwa

Raison D'etre

Dealing with death needs a lot of faith
when they tell you, you perspired all your life just to expire
this truth on its own a daunting haunting

Every month you start living so much
love becoming wholesome for someone
who is unfortunately dead in the head
failing to understand firsthand

that evolution is part of an illusion
that everything you try in life is like a tryst
an unfortunate circumstance
your sojourn in life is a journey for one

The life you breathe and breed is the beginning of the end without a friend
the reason you feel like you are in prison every season
before you die in time at the end of a long sigh.
is your raison d'etre
