Life : The Personal / The Collective.
-------------------------©-------------------------
Where is the line of demarcation,
Between the personal and the collective?
Where is the line of distinction,
Between the personal and the individual?
Where we all, each and every-one,
Running amock, as in rivalry, as in revelry,
Sometimes like, as if in a relay-race,
And on others, as if in a steeple-chase,
Competing with others, one and all,
Winning or losing, in the end fall,
Yet it never occurs to us at all,
Who ran, lost, won, or stood tall.
The name keeps on going,
The game keeps on going,
In peace and in war as well,
Who is there, that played well,
All is fair in love and war,
I could see this, but so for!
The flag is hoisted, furling-unfurling,
The joy and sorrow keep on swirling.
