VALUABLES
If you want to know what
Is valuable in your house
The best connoisseurs
Are the thieves.
Or Malakul Maut (Angel of Death)
Who knows what is
Most valuable in your body
He draws out your soul.
But for us,
It is the buildings which matter
After gallant houses,
We build sprawling bodies.
When corporates strike
They aim at your bed
Your patience
And dig at your honor
They know the precious
Possessions of men
And once stripped
They are mere bodies without blood.
