In numbers, our lives defined,
plastic frames, that being assigned,
as ID, PAN, Passport, or Aadhaar,
our essence limited to small cards.
From birth certificate's tender trace,
school records, marking its place,
the driving license, for vehicle rights,
and VISA stamp, to travel outside.
In bank accounts, wealth takes form,
need property deeds, to show fortune,
in hospital charts, and health check-ups,
we create a profile for ourselves.
Everything requires mobile numbers,
email, and postal address also helps,
weaving a network, for our connections,
without which, we have no value.
Yet, in this symphony of letters,
we lose the sight of the truth,
numbers cannot hold a soul,
it is free from any attachments.
For, it's in our feelings,
in bonds and our interactions,
the trust we build over the time,
in friends, colleagues and relations.
So let not digits cage our soul,
not be the key, to make us whole.
with empathy, let kindness bind,
in this mosaic, of us humankind.
