the bloody piece of paper !

no , i 'm not talking about exam paper or question paper !
no . not even stamp paper !

Ambani once rightly said * is not everything , but earn enough * before you say all that shit,
its the piece of paper we all run behind ,
its the piece of paper we all value,
its the piece of paper you and i crave for ,
its the piece of paper which makes the difference between bill gates and i ,
its the piece of paper that we wouldn't use to make a silly boat even if it rains in Thar desert and we were there ,
its the piece of paper we count and count on ,
its the piece of paper that has caused a huge economical difference in this country that has gradually trickled down to determining the social status , standard of living and even the choice of cable connection we have .
its THE piece of paper .

its green in some place ,
its pink in some place ,
its blue in some place ,
its white in some place ,
its value differs ,
but its THE piece of paper .

you might not be able to draw anything on this piece of paper ,
but you sure can draw people towards you ,
cuz i told you ,
its THE piece of paper .

you might not be able to fly a kite with this kinda paper ,
but you sure can fly high if you have this paper ,
(is that why A.R.R named one of his composition as paper planes ? i wonder .)
cuz i told you ,
its THE piece of paper .

you might not have the heart to wrap a kilo of sundal* in this paper ,
but you maybe can wrap the sundalkaaran* if you have this paper ,
cuz i told you ,
its THE piece of paper .

you might not wanna recycle this piece of paper ,
cuz the oldest of its kind is considered to be the luckiest piece of paper.

its the piece of paper that runs farther the more you run towards it ,
its the piece of paper that makes people lose their basic ethics*,
its the piece of paper that has bred corruption,
its the piece of paper that makes people like A. rajah ,
its the piece of paper that you and i dread to shed for the everyday-increase-in-petrol-price,
its the piece of paper that doesn't give the luxury of sleeping in your mothers lap and taking a power nap ,
its the piece of paper that creates an unjustifiable difference in the society ,
its THE piece of paper that sometimes costs the lives of many .
