We, You and They
Among ourselves
when we talk
many merge
You are asking
Is it right what you are doing
You are the seekers
You are the device
You too ask
yourselves
You and Us
Are the same ... right?
How can you ask
yourselves
If we are you
Who are you
If you are u
Who are we
If you are the question
we are the answer
If we are the answer
then you are the question
How can your question
and our answer
be the same
What is the question What is the answer
Are the question and the answer the same
One or two is not the question
If it is question and answer
Is question the answer
What is the question What is the answer
You we
we you
Note: Another wordplay poem ... Does it question the status quo? Who are ''they''?

இது கவிதையாகமல் ஒரு உரையாடலாக நின்றுவிடுகிறோ என்று சந்தேகம் எனக்கு. ஒரு அரசியல் கவிதை போன்ற சாயல்.
