Who Are We - 'Drop The Ego'. Poem by Ramesh Kavdia

Before we were born
we were an invisible sperm.
- incomplete and disturbed
running faster to survive
We were lucky to meet the ova
and find a house(womb)
lying in darkness for months
no ac, no t.v., no comfort
nothing of our own
what ever our mother give
we become like that
and when we were born
we just begin to mourn
we were given a name
a caste
a sir name
a religion
a personality
a power
a community
all with a special logo
whole life passed with an ego
suddenly we died
we were buried or burned
now we are not even a sperm
just a picture or a name
hanging over
somewhere in dark corners.
