Shared experiences

I always wondered, 

how different or similar, 

they live around the world...

So I watched, 

as they showcased, 

walking down the roads,

in local street markets.

And I saw them experience,

be it Europe, Asia, or America,

them rushing for the work,

buying & selling products,

electric wires tangling overhead,

dented scooters, broken vases,

some places were messy,

while others clean, being cared 

And I felt a connection,

observing routines, their interactions, 

there's a charm, even in imperfections.

It is something I have missed,

while browsing through high societies, 

with tall buildings, elite neighborhoods, 

projecting aesthetics of perfections, 

lacking these gritty, cultural markers, 

as if detached from the realities.

Then again, it all depends,

on the lifestyle, I have lived,

experiences might be different, 

for the ones from higher societies,

where streets become foreign, 

while affluent lifestyles, 

feels closer to home.

In the end, we all crave,

for that shared experiences!
