THE FRAMEWORK

This is a framework

resembling a cage

in which are embedded

some dos and don’ts

or many dos and many don’ts

constituted by the mankind,

for the mankind and of the mankind.

Never dare to break open

this framework

the birds of do’s and don’ts might fly away

leaving the framework empty

and all hell would break loose

and fall on us like

ear-splitting lightnings

followed by thunder - showers.

This framework is

a magic lantern

guiding us mankind

down the smooth paths

towards universal harmony.

Our penchant  

to break open it 

is the root cause of  all the

curses and evils befalling this society.
