The Individual Emerges

"Unlike a drop of water which loses its identity when it joins the ocean, man does not lose his being in the society for which he lives. Man's life is independent. He is born not for the development of society alone, but for the development of his self." B.R. Ambedkar

AND THE INDIVIDUAL EMERGES

Born into a world where seeds are sown

Unceremoniously mixed with the soil

Beauty and sustenance are eventually grown

But then also come the weeds to spoil

Raindrops falling into the sea

So seamlessly they merge within the waves

They lose their individuality

Within the depths of Neptune's grave

But people are much different, you see

Like oil in the puddle we stand alone

As we  struggle with our personalities

No matter by whom we are chaperoned

As seeds are continuously spread and sown

And random raindrops miss the sea

The random rain meet seeds wind blown

And join to form flowers of humanity

The individual emerges among

The stately nature in its background

Each of us go one by one

Our own ideas to expound upon
