Why When What How

The family - "Why"

It is how we are created

Family first, then Humanity

Earth is our home,

Humanity our real family

Theempalangad a mere unit

Amidst the hundred million families

Here on Planet Earth,

One in a hundred million

In the cosmic plan of things.

Thats why.

The family - "When"

We know that it started 150 years ago

However before that we were "Painum-moottil"

For maybe 1,000 years and before that

Who knows , where and when and what ?

When we came to India and if we are always from here

If we have genes from Syria, Lebanon, China, Africa or

Elsewhere, Europe and much more.. where else

How the ad-mixturing happened and happens

As in all families.. genetic mergers and acquisitions

That is - "When".

The family - "What"

Shall we say... marriages and births, celebrations

Of love and life make the numbers grow.. grow

Bloom and become as the sands on the seashore

Or the stars on the bright lit horizon above

Sky our roof and our mirror, bottomless

Topless of course and space like the universe... just bigger

Better and vaster, even more than the figment of mankind's

Tiny little minds competency to imagine...

It is from where we come.. the family of humanity..

Darwin knew it well... That is "What".

The family - "How"

We better admit, we know not much..

We know so little, except that we are here..

And we know we came from so and so...

As far back as we know.. beyond which we know not much

How coe, where from, when, why and what for.. ???

All questions we have to answer, can answer

If we go deep within ourselves, into scriptures,

Into history, into science, into religions, Yes many and all

We will get to know more.. Not all and everything now..

The family - thats "How".
