Fishbowl

We are the kings
in our well we call home
we fight with our siblings
live a twin life
for us and for others.
Outside our homes
we see a bigger well
everyone calls it a town
a village or a city
or the entire world.
Many are kings here
they fight with each other
our country versus theirs
all live a twin life
for us and for others.
As we look up the sky
we see the biggest well
we call it as universe
the stars and the planets
meteors fight with each other.
What goes beyond
We name the unknown as God
we pray to the Almighty
pit our Gods against the rest
for us and for others.
We loathe the ones
Richer than us
We close our eyes
To the ones naked yet
we pray for Abundance.
Are we truly the Kings?
Or slaves trapped in our well
The water in the well
is the same
for us and for others.
