Let me bring some piece of ether
You’d better bring some stars
Already, we have a moon in hand
And its better at any cost
To buy a sun
They say, It’s available at a distance
Let’s buy some planets too
From the neighborhood.
I well remember that my grandmother
Executed a Deed of Transfer for a cloud in my favor
Yet, my grandfather the drunkard mortgaged it
and wasted the money going to rack and ruin
For which, my grandmother wept and wept in pain
And there may be some tear drops of my grandmother
In the cloud,
They say there may be something somewhere
One or two in surplus
Yet the only thing we do not know,
Ts the earth
The earth
Where we could live in peace.?
