Triangle

For my lovely neighbors...

 

Triangle

 

Thirst

 

All along in the deep agony

A few of them start creeping

For a well to bring buckets of

Water…

 

Journey

 

Along the route toward

Heaven, they gulped glasses

After glasses; intoxicated, they start doing this and

That for bigger action, for smaller pursuits…

Still, they are called the teetotalers!

 

Love

 

Along life’s journey to help others understand lives,

They start calling themselves lovers, but

They know only to hate others.

People call them ‘Dudes, it’s time to cherish the love…”

 

They die not to live

They live not to die

They fancy not for the reality

They dive not to stay

 

They are our lovely neighbors

Amen!!

Some neighbors are good some are bad
You just have to take them the way they are
That doesn't mean you have to follow in there footsteps
Live and let live is what I always say
You can always hope the bad ones move away
Well penned

Intriquing triptych you have put together. I enjoyed the poem especially the first two stanzas - I am bit confused as well as to who these unloving neighbors are although at the same time there shines a love through your words. Thank you.
Light,

I feel as though there is a meaning that I just can't understand.

A thirst for something better maybe?
A journey to find it that leads to excess?
Love what is that? Does anyone really comprehend the meaning of the word?

Who are the "Dudes" Raja? I don't understand that one.

"They die not to live
They live not to die
They fancy not for the reality
They dive not to stay" ....
This part reminds me of zombies... not alive, not dead, not real...

I've puzzled and puzzled 'til my puzzler is sore...
Maybe Raja knows something I'd never thought of before... (Ms. K/Dr.Seuss)

Have a great day/evening
