Tall Houses

A Home or a House?

Those tall houses on the ground

Blocking my view, all day long

Maybe I was the first one,

to block my own view.

Storeys of my home got higher,

for me to see that mountain view.

But people with taller houses

Are their houses made to look the view.

Every step higher gives a wider view,

But every step higher cuts my breath.
Is that Tall House a joyful one?

If not, Doesn't it also makes me gasp my breath?

I am sure that my Tall House is a Home.
But are you too?
If not, then doesn't it hurt,
that you aren't?

Is that big thing on land you call home?
Or is it just a show?

Or is it a true home

That causes your eyes to glow?
