Within our rib cage

It pounds on the walls.
It thuds inside.
It beats
...and is beaten black and blue.

                                                                     Spin spin spin I spin my web.. Snip snip snip I snip every old thread.. You spin I spin that is all we do. I am hanging where you once hung, This patch is mine now, now I sew. You snipped my mesh one day and craft your own wall. I am a spinner and you are one No sins, we merely cushion our fall.

Under one sky, as the earth continues to spin Let us spin for everyone, a whole new sky.

Since our origin we have been breeding greed. As life began the wheel of greed turned to lead to the birth of more and more Homo sapiens day by day, every moment. The jealousy of the evil serpent remained veiled behind silence and formed the cause that sprouted as the sapling of greed in the heart of Eve. Greed is highly contagious like any other communicative disease and thereby spread to Adam and from then on wards to the generations that followed. Many a times greed gives rise to jealousy and quite often greed arises from jealousy. They both move on hand in hand as knives equally sharp and hurtful and are known to cause the death of many a conscience. The philosophy regarding the search for soul mates destined to meet is meant to adorn the parchments found at the back of the drawers of the poets but th...
