A Roof In The Sky Poem by KAVIN CHARALAN

A roof in the sky
We call it flat or apartment
with a hall drawing room and dream modular kitchen
with false roof hidden wires and designer's interior decor
of course in consultation with Vasthu experts
A human sparrow nest in the concrete jungle
We collectively own the ground below
-in some cases ground below basement with car parking lot
and individually own this roof in the sky
which has a market price falling or rising
in rupees dollars euros or in any country's currency!

In villages also people have developed this habit
and started living in multi storey structures
abandoning their row house living style!
What is after all these flats or apartments in many storey building
is nothing but a horizontal village street in vertical avatar!

If science men promise a planet like Mars or any other planet
worthy for human living
we can move to the distant planet vacating this dear old planet earth !

Till then we live in this self revolving planet producing day and nights
taking selfies wining dining and dancing cheerfully !
