Caren Krutsinger Poet Blank verse

Advice From Kaali Hindu Goddess

Advice from Kaali Hindu Goddess
Cry for the birds whose babies have fallen out of nests
Cry for the wolves who could not feed their young
Cry for the streams polluted by companies who did not care

Cry for the children who were born into hateful families
Cry for the absolutes who do not welcome any flexibility
Cry for the elephants who are killed for ivory tusks and suffer

Cry for Kaali, Hindu Goddess, which is actually me.
Cry for my path of destruction which incurs devastation
Cry for my meager call for justice, 

Cry for the world which has gone topsy turvey
Cry for the nuclear warheads which are karmic disasters
Cry for the angels and holy books which are dead to so many

Cry and cry and cry and cry and cry. That is my advice. Love, Kaali

I appreciate it. Michelle Faulkner January 31, 2019 at 1:29 PM Also must make this a Fave!
