People
Like bricks
Like stones
Pile up together
Make families
Make societies.
Bricks
Stones
No matter
Together they may stay
Stay touching each other
Yet
Never become one
ʼCoz
They are not clay.

R Manandhar
Never
Do they dissolve
ʼCoz
They are not water.
Never
Do they merge
ʼCoz
They are not light.
Instead
Press each other
At times
Fight against each other
Collide with each other
And
Turn to pieces.
At other times
One pile fights against another
Until
Both end in dust.
Yet
They call it their bravery.
That is their history
That is their psychology
That is their sociology.
That is their future!
