The Box

In his penetrating purity, 

He could see all the things 

and understand the causes of all very quickly. 

It was a matter of purity that he knew 

that all is possible in Friend’s presence 

and impossible in Friend's absence, 

when things suffer under the dominance of your petty self. 

You may verily live what you have dreamed of,

but you would not realise it. 

People say that there are seven hells, 

and that must be the worst one. 

…And this era that so precariously balances

on this slightly altered box of Pandora, 

that contains all the things, 

and the difference between the fool-to-be and the wise-to-be 

is what to pick and choose from the Box,

O, my God…
