~ Erase the Lines!…  ~

Erase…!

Just rub off all these lines

drawn  on  the  land,  sky

or on the surface of the sea

Land  belongs  to  everyone,

So are the sky and even ocean…

What about the dividing lines?

They belong to none, but they

are  so  ubiquitously  present

But, the credit of drawing lines

must not be granted to anybody..!   

Lines are  ever  extending, as 

They  are  deepening  further

While mankind is ever shrinking…

Listen!

Is there nobody who could stop

this senseless high-handedness

How can anyone claim God gifted

air,  sky, water or even the land…

Just erase  these  ominous  lines 

even the ones drawn on the hand..!
