Don't say that
The roof engulfs a tiny hole,
Which the rain water loves
And emancipates every monsoon,
But no, Don't say that!
There are cracks in the wall,
That are kaleidoscopes to the world outside
That no adhesive shall heal,
But no, Don't say that!
And then the floor, that lacks lusture,
That bears the truth among its rocks
To appeal to chapped feet,
But no, Don't say that!
The house is ruined, the house is ruined
But no, Don't say that!
