Individualized

Orson Welles quotes :

'We're born alone, 

We live alone,

We die alone'.

Alone we travel,

Alone we survive,

Alone we remain forever.

Living together is an illusion,

A momentary lapse,

A temporary relief!

But herein,

Individuals need partners,

A man needs his wife,

A woman needs her husband,

A boy a girlfriend,

And a girl a boyfriend.

Each one needs recognition,

Needs name and fame,

Which only others can cognize.

Yet,

Alone we survive.

Man is incomplete without his wife,

She is his 'ardh-angani',

She is his soul-mate,

His better- half and like a comrade.

Together they have to travel,

Draw and withdraw;

Paint and erase;

The path till not traversed by,

The canvas till not colored by.

And yet,

Alone we survive.

For, all relations are superfluous,

Are delusionary and illusionary,

Are uncertain and dodgy.

Therefore,

Alone we survive;

Aloof and distant,

As if on an excursion,

Carrying the past baggage and future ambitions,

Over an unbridled horse,

Tottering and tottering,

On any untrodden road,

Looking for the goalpost,

To kick at once on the ball,

Only to look at it,

Just passing through the edge of the post.

Therefore,

Alone we survive;

Aside and aloof,

On an edge,

Marginalized!
