Yet!

We keep fish swimming in a tank, yet

We love strolling on the beach...

Marveling at the vastness of ocean!

We keep dogs tightly on a leash, yet

We love walking them around proudly...

Ignoring their stray brethren on streets!

We keep birds chirping in a cage, yet

We love viewing through fancy binoculars...

Gaping at the graceful flight of free birds!

We keep plants confined in pots, yet

We love yakking about saving the environment...

Waxing eloquent on green cover of roadside trees!

We keep children enrolled in institutions, yet

We love wanting them to learn more and grow...

Forgetting that simply studying isn't learning!

We keep ourselves locked in places, yet

We love traveling around the world...

Limiting our existence within walled boundaries!

We keep thoughts wrapped in words, yet

We love expressing ideas through speech...

Forgetting silence is the sky where word stars glitter!

We keep gods at a distance in temples, yet

We love praying to them daily for endless wants...

Failing to realise the Divine that resides within us!

We keep Life complex as a maze, yet

We love figuring out one path after another...

Searching pointlessly forever, Life the way it is!
