This is Philosophical composition in Telugu by Pedda Tirumalācharya, the son of Tāḷḷapāka Annamāchārya and Akkamāmba Tāḷḷapāka.
He presents his view on the purpose of human life in this simple, easy-to-understand sankeerthana. This is one of those sankeerthanas, which is more a self-appraisal of life by the poet. The desolating tone set in this piece urges one to ponder on the purpose of human life.
It is believed in Hinduism that the soul takes up "Human" life only after serving animal life forms. Animals do not have the discrimination of good/bad/choice etc. They go by instincts and are only serving to satisfy one of the prominent desires attached to the soul.
Human life is intended to work towards salvation/liberation (moksha) and the purposes are given by the four "purushaarthaas": dharma-artha-kaama-moksha. This keerthana has more depth to it than just the meaning it puts forth and is a little complicated to explain. In this keerthana, the dejected poet rhetorically asks as to what use is Human life if one does not work towards the path of salvation and still is attached to worldly illusions.
