When I have no father then can I feel alone?
When I cannot talk to mother can one feel alone?
When I have brother, sister but no family
Then am I alone?
If I leave my home then can I feel alone?
If I leave my town can one feel alone?
If I leave my country and no one cries
Then am I alone?
The day I enter new lands can I feel alone?
The day with new language can one feel alone?
The day I have marriage but no love
Then am I alone?
When my boss screams in a foreign tong then can I feel alone?
When bureaucrats make me feel like a child then am I alone?
When I have mates and comrades but no friends
Then am I alone?
