**that 'K' Constant In Life! Poem by RAJ NANDY

THAT ‘K’ CONSTANT IN LIFE!

That ‘constant’ factor you add to balance the
equation at both ends,
Or that mathematical value of ‘pye’, -
With which those ancient Egyptians or the
Greeks multiplied, -
The squared radius of your life’s length,
To obtain the area of your total existence, -
Which we humans simply define as ‘death’!
Is used to add flavor to this single life,
Giving it some meaning and content!
But our life is too large to remain confined,
Nor can it remain defined by any limiting
circumference!
And only ‘death’ remains the constant factor, -
Balancing our life’s both ends!
