Tunnels



Tunnels we all live in, like rodents. 
Small or                         big, wide or
narrow,                            running from 
one to                                another ; in
search                              of facilities,
comfort                        and everything
one needs                badly to live, in this
highly demanding world of consumerism.

Actually, it is not that bad, at least, 
I am not a                          Philosopher
who pose                            questions
before                                    making all
deeds                                      for survival
be it right                           or wrong. Just
say, how can                I live a royal life 
being a philanthropist. It's impossible.

Even lions prefer to live in caves.
That too is                        a tunnel.
They hunt                            -  I steal.
Lifestyles                                differ
but we                                      still
coexist.                              Ultimately,
survival matters. So, what say you?
