Blood Relation

Updated: Aug 26, 2023



We are family they say

As if we share a bond by default -

‘Family’ means we have roles to play

It’s not a guarantee of a place in thought


Is our blood our relation?

Or simply a coincidence?

A reason to accept each other with patience.

Or a result of our vicinity-connection


Blood is thicker than water.

But water is its ingredient.

Its importance is confirmed on paper.

And its mythical value, given sentience


But life is not what it is -

Rather that seen, which is done

As love all action that please –

Thus paper a weak claim of some


Present publicly your benevolence

Commit privately your maleficence

Your life a sweat shop of relative labourers

Whose brand has garnered a cult of followers
