#emotionaldisconnect
पूछ रहा हूँ लोगों से हाल, आजकल,
सबका अपना दुःख है,
बंद हो गया है चार दीवारी में,
तौलते हैं आज़ादी, दौलत के तराज़ू पर,
फिर कहते हैं, 'वक़्त नहीं है आजकल'.

My life is spent stacking bricks
Spreading mortar
Row by row
Piece by piece
Until I can no longer see the world beyond
The row turning to a wall
A wall turning into a cage
Rising past my eyes
Still not high enough to close me in but too high to turn back
Beyond my reach to begin to dismantle
So I continue to toil
Laying the last brick into my roof
Blocking the last star from shining on my face as I look to the night sky
Irreversible darkness descends
My heart is shut
