Every one doesn’t have the propensity to dream
that’s why
the fuse of a dynamite
lies dormant in the belly
because it cannot dream
of explosions
otherwise it would explode
by itself
Every one doesn’t have the propensity to dream
that’s why
sweat
in the palm of the hand
just dries up
without galvanising into action
that’s why
rows upon rows of history books
on shelves
lie mute
because in order to dream
one must have courage and stamina
and the propensity to dream...
