I am a node here on earth, here in India
Enmeshed in a network of relationships
Where there is constant exchange
Of something or the other almost daily.
None of us are sufficient unto ourselves
Insufficient in knowledge we find ourselves
Insufficient in resources we obviously are
Insufficient in power we clearly are
Insufficient in emotional regulation, oh, oh…
This insufficiency breeds families
Breeds communes, breeds societies
Breeds nations, breeds inventions
And breeds all the loves and hates.
Yet this insufficiency we breed in ourselves
By wanting to live in the I land
Not realizing, the I, the you and the he
Are but mere conventions of language
That point to nothing that is real
Except to make room for the world drama.
