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
