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 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.
