THE HIGH RISE BUILDINGS


The high rise buildings
Clustered homes parking noises
Whispering voices uplifting lifts
Carrying the dwellers
Boxing them in

When the lights go out
The shouting and screams
They forget about darkness
They have to live through with it

For a few seconds
They seem eternity
Warm air flowing
Darkness adjusts dimly
Yet the trapped dwellers
Impatience to get free

Easy life going up
The consequences they forget
When you are trapped in the box car
Press the alarm bell and wait

Panic is a tool of defeat
The whole body system breaks down
Cold sweat appearing as if life going away
It only takes a slow breathing process
To get the right anecdote into life

The teaching of life
Only when one is trapped
Else nothing seems right
Rushing in running out
Eyes looking down
Avoiding contact quickly disappear

Stay a moment
Look at them in the eyes
Tired, body crying for rest, mind eager to get away
The lift car stops
They quickly exit
Open doors into comfort of the homes
It is true in the end?
