An Invisible Lock
Life is not that easy
As though an invisible lock
Has locked you up in an overcrowded jail
You have to live
Against the eyes of the public
To the expectations of the public
Against the wrong concepts of the public
To the judgement of the public
Against the gossips of the public
To the rumours of the public
There is little choice
Either
Retreat to a corner
Observe and isolate yourself
Hold strongly to your stand
Or
Join and become one of the member
Busy gossiping one another
There is no key to this rusty lock
Except ignorance or tolerance
As much as you can
