Our neighbours;
They do not exist nearby
They are far apart
like our apartments.

Our possessions;
They no longer need us
We badly need them
Like sex and sin.

Ours is a new happiness;
It is always dichotomous.
We happen to be happy
But we don’t know how.

Our successes;
Their colour is green.
But we find our face gray
When someone goes green.

Our greatest goal;
It’s to somehow make and mar.
Make just to our sake
And mar whatever is others’

For us, our well being;
It is the state of being better.
A little better than the one
Who is staying next door.

And finally our faith;
It’s not of Gods or like Gods’
We know better than Gods
That our wealth’ll open the Gate.

People define every thing
Subjectively Of course

Premji premji (7/1/2008 2:33:00 AM)
houses are dead pocessions
and of course
the humans inside also!
