Sisyphus, the evil king of Greece
Condemned to death by gods of Greece,
Escaped the death by treachery, to be
Mortified again to a stupendous task:
To roll a boulder over a hill top
To have it roll back to the hill bottom;
He was cursed to repeat the task for long.
Knowing it futile, he undertook the task.
Life is devoid of its intrinsic meaning.
We give it a value from an illusion.
Inventions and artificers are beauticians.
The absurd hero takes no refuges
In illusion, arts, crafts and religions,
And despairs not to face absurdity,
Which he escapes not but embrace.
Absurdity is life that he is aware.
Life is meaningless; life is purposeless.
Absurdity is the core of living.
Uncertainty is the norm of life.
To repose faith in God brings no relief.
Suicide is an escape to be condemned.
Acceptance to the life's futility
Is the route left for the people to tread
Like Sisyphus on the task assigned to him.
