To What End?

All the search and pursuit, the hunt
And the quest for what?
From the day we are born, until
We die and halt,
We dig and inquire.
Take upon the prizes
Of our tiny captures,
Just to hold us on
Till we engage, yet again,
Another exploration.
We search and pursue,
To triumph and subdue,
The small wins we
Stumble upon.
Only to reckon
The final question,
To what end?
