They try to grab the land of the

Less powerful, and their space too.

THE BORDERS OF EXISTENCE

It is space that a woman wants

In her in-laws’ family

And a growing up child

From his parents.

Gods have created millions of stars

How many are seen colliding

With one another?

They have earmarked an orbit for each.

And they fall, crash or clash

When they miss their steps

And fall into the gravitational pull

Of another planet

When flowers while growing

Suddenly start thinking of thistles

There are chances

Either thistles are stopped altogether

Or if the controls on the

Borders of existence are weak

Thistles may sneak into

The consciousness of flowers

The borders are divinely defined

But men are too human

They try to grab the land of the

Less powerful, and their space too.

The poor may not fight back

But it spoils the goodwill

Which should mark a social organism

Failing which, a cankerous society is born.

Good may or may not beget good

But evil doth beget evil

His highness the Monsterships

Are built foul upon foul, ill upon ill.
