#fragmentary
Marooned within a span of finitude We claim we are lost forever! Our hearts beat violently inside our rib cages, Trying to tell us truths that we brush off as myths. We paint our houses and bodies with brilliant colours and darkest inks, Hoping that it would make up for the ugliness we harbour! We spin fantasies locked up in self-made prison cells, Sidelining the hideous realities as not part of 'our story'... We carry our vulnerabilities as a taboo, (I, sadly, would not blame each one separately for it) We have woven this illusion together with our cloudy minds. If a bird could judge high from the sky It would have made out the fragmentary lives we live in... Inside a single fortress surrounded by high walls, yet violence if we traverse the margin between two rooms! If and only if, we would have understood that it doesn't require too much a sacrifice to unite That we can leave our homes simply plastered and our minds simply open. Urged by a force to change, if only we had exposed ourselves to paint graffiti on that common wall that surrounds us, Splashing ingenious shades of love and brotherhood, Of a fluttering feeling of oneness and entanglement. We would have laughed together, danced with glee and holding our hands together we would have escaped unto a better reality... If only it was true, I wonder How spectacular a place the world would have been !
