Editor's Notes
- #3 A poem on property and on greed,A poem on existential realities!
- #4 Man was a hunter and when he started to gather
- #5 Law and property were then born together
- #6 When was it? It’s not in my memory’s lather
- #7 We know it riding only on imagination’s feather
- #8 When things were available in nature for free Then they belonged to the marauder’s spree
- #9 To avoid the disputes being decided by blood
- #10 The norm of ownership then sprouted like a little bud
- #11 From movable to immovable the bud continued to grow
- #12 Things then belonged to the sweat of the brow
- #13 Man’s labour was the subject then to protect
- #14 To own more became a matter of respect
- #15 Limited were the things created with labour
- #16 But man wanted to own more than his neighbor
- #17 Intellectual creations were added to the list
- #18 Man then wanted to capture whole world in his fist
- #19 When ‘exclusive’ was the genre of all his right
- #20 Drunk he became with the wine of his might
- #21 Bothered he was not about the people’s plight
- #22 Who would then give the mighty a fight?
- #23 To transmute to order from such a chaos ‘Public interest’ soon came across Though one is still permitted to own But of sharing you cannot now be shorn As the people’s lawyer laid bare this plea It were the masses who shouted out with glee
- #24 But wait! Are we not approaching the same old spree? Where all things were set just for free
- #25 Public interest came as a gift to wonder But even this can verily become a plunder
- #26 Is it in man’s destiny to go round and round? And continue eternally with the same old wound?
- #27 Owning and sharing must go hand in hand For expression, for invention and also for that famous brand
- #28 Striking this balance is like playing with glass Delicate it remains even for the men of class
