Birthday Wish

Who is interested in this tale? They know you eat fish You on occasion laugh but seldom smile You always make a birthday wish For wellness and fullness Of people with want and need Standing at the temple gates Where gargoyles stare down in seeming greed. The best and biggest smiles are under these gates In faces which are varied caricatures of fate This is the most famous of all gates Ambaal fed me here just enough Then she read my writings on the slate. It is a temple and a state Where mind matters and inner self dominates Citizens speak of the ruling laws Allowing barriers of expression to break. Here you will not see lazy loitre Freedom of spirit here is graded backwards Making children and illusory clutter Exchange of energies between child and aged occur. This temple tale of my existential flavour Is a mix of right and wrong ingredients Made of coveted thoughts and odd behaviour In the long run functional alltogether.
