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.
