Beyond a name
Is a face.
Beyond a face
Is an identity. I know.
But,
I say,
I hope. I fear. I love. I wish. I do. I seek.
I hear. I laugh. I cry. I sigh! I want. I like.
List endless and keeps me alive.
You say. You too,
Hope. Fear. Love. Wish. Do. Seek. Hear. Laugh. Cry. Sigh!
“I want”. “I like”.
For you also! List seems endless.
Keeps you alive and kicking!
But, We say we have different identities!
Because the objects we wish to unite with are different?!
But,
My eyes see. Your eyes see.
Our eyes see colour and form. Period.
Is this enough a difference,
that you like blue and I like green?
But we both don’t like to see violence!
My ears hear. Your ears hears.
Our ears hear. Period.
Is it enough a difference, I like classical and you like fusion!
But we both don’t like to hear being abused.
My tongue tastes. Your tongue tastes.
Is it enough a difference,
I like spicy, you, sweet.
But we both don’t like food
served with humiliation.
I want happiness. You want happiness.
I don’t want pain. You also don’t want pain!
I suspect now.
We all, are cloned.
Fooled to believe
To be The individual!
