often worn under the mask
of religious fanaticism…
spurred on by fear,
often disguised as patriotism…
the sickness, the disease,
that elevates the self
to a higher plane….
the blindness that refuses
to see the likeness in the mirror…
prejudice….
no excuse!

sexual whispers
the dirt and the failures,and the phone not answered.the fireplace gone cold,the trees stripped bare….the blare of the news,cutting deep to the quick.the anger, and the lostness,without direction or virtue.dust on the Bible,a box of shells by the bed.sexual whispers,or just memories, and need!
human kindness,
well thought out actions,grounded in belief!belief in equality,compassionate unity,brings about change…real change, real thinking,real solutions, real problems,facing real issues,without making excuses….breaking down barriersconstructed by fears,finding sameness in difference,and holiness in the mundane.stronger than bullets,armed guards and riot squads.the truth of human kindnessbreaks the grip of the lie!

whispering of bees
a song in the air
No tears could wash even a single word
On your fellow human beingAnd that will leave indelible scar on their soul.
Neither he long for you nor will wait

Wind is gushing through the window,
Light is peeping from the roof ventilator,Darkness is searching the corner.Sound of chattering birds soothing the ears,Faith whispers, “I am back again”.This nature is trying to interact with our soul,And we are entwined in worthless worries.Small things around us carry enough happinessYet we crush them for want of bigger happiness.We have point to ponder on,…
