We
take pride in diplomatic protests,
Yet,
forge inexplicable economic ties;
We
seek to build a connected world,
Despite carrying fires whilst crossing lines.
We
seek love in all and all in love,
In
loveless epidemic of superficial tears;
We
seek being one as long as lives world,
Yet
let live in beehive who smear.
We
seek intimacy in lust not love,
Yet,
call all extractions -> a tree;
We
seek to know the origin of origin,
Alas!
In abstract analogies of politicking thieves.
We
seek to paint the world colour blind,
Yet,
the intent in it reeks of protégés;
We
seek high-rises or distributed shacks,
But
there’s no plinth gluing the glee!☹
