Mere Distance Can'T Measure Closeness

Mere Distance can’t Measure Closeness Once i was asked Not to worry too much about people living not near me And told them how people are killed Rather see, Just the day before yesterday A man was murdered in our neighborhood Though he used condoms yet he is dead by a single bullet Here we have enough scope to ponder to save life There in distant countries Even if, people die taking sleeping tab overdose I can do nothing to prevent deaths. Reason two, there are none to me. People living nearby Are they really close to one, who tell you? I said to him, Mere distance cannot measure closeness The people among whom you are living yet they can't be yours But you become one, very close, though you do not live among them
