Oft the house of relationships is <br />Built on the land of selfishness, <br />It bricks are shrewdness <br />Plastered with cement of treacheries <br />Painted with color of pretensions, <br />The ceiling is foxy hypocrisy <br />And floor the opaque opportunism. <br /> <br />When the earthquake of <br />Difficulties strike that jinxed house, <br />The bricks of relationship falls apart <br />And all flee, not unlike the rats <br />that desert the sinking ship. <br /> <br />Then sisters sue sisters <br />And Kens attack Abels <br />Perhaps they are sworn <br />Enemies of past lives, <br />Who are born as <br />husbands, brothers and wives. <br /> <br />Was it in vain <br />cried the Christ bold <br />Man’s worst enemies would <br />Be in his own household. <br /> <br />Dr Hitesh C Sheth <br />05/08/2009<br /><br />Dr Hitesh Sheth<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-house-of-relationships/
