Belonging Poem by Muthu Krishnan

With the Inauguration of restlessness,
Sometimes losing your whole self,
With the urge to belong;

With the interceptions of conversations,
Losing the art of listening,
losing the wisdom of 
Keeping your ears open 
And your mouth closed,
With the urge to belong;

Trying the things that you 
Never tried,
Which you shouldn't have tried,
With the urge to belong;

Beginning with the criticism of your 
Fellow being,
Never sensing the evil being done 
By the display of superiority,
With the urge to belong,

Inviting the creators of solitude 
With the warmest hugs,
With the best improvements of your virtues 
Within your walls, your system,
And, rolling your world 
Within your walls, over the world outside,
Starts the genuineness of the belonging.
