Mid pleasures and palaces roamed
Conquered the world
Ruled the roost
Revered always
Felt superior
A complexity grew
Untamed, unknown
Labelled as 'pride'
Couldn't fulfill the natural beauties
Touch the dew drops
See the rising sun
Talk to the gypsies
Put away on distant shelves
What happiness is this?
Where satisfaction is amiss
Choices always be higher
According to the social strata
And wishes also to be tamed
In the name of suave sophistry
Which place, race is it?
Which grants no liberty
To the soul of mankind
Once he ascends to the throne
And becomes known
His aspirations, likings become unknown
Only pigeonhole
Be 'someone' yet a part of the whole.
TOGETHER SEPARATE
Laugh, giggle, imitate
Grouping, gaming, gabfest
Picnics, parties, seminars
Together every time
Yet man lives in different worlds
In education, religion, opinions
Domains, speculations, contemplations
Status, prestige, honor
Each knows the other fully
Accommodates, acclimatize, affiliate
And continues the enigma
Together separate man is
That makes him different
From all others Yet similar every time.
