The Codominum

The earth becomes so congested
Condominiums spring up 
Like mushrooms after the rain
Rooms become so congested
Like the hearts
Full of greeds and dreams
Like the souls 
Full of expectations and pressures
Many hearts and many souls 
Confined in a block of cement walls
But hearts and souls 
With different dreams and expectations
Can never be confined
Can never reach a compromise
To keep peace and serenity 
On earth
Even with God's advice

Intriguing. I have often pondered the mysteries that lie behind each drawn shade in those cement blocks -- yearning for freedom. Kudos, Sai Lin!

Some people like living at higher places.They say cleaner,quieter and cooler. But they seldom talk to their neighbours.Maybe they are too busy.Usually young guys live in condo.
