Yes there will be filth,
there will be muck in your mouth,
some of it your own.
Cities will drown in their own sewerage,
and all will be but a metaphor
and all will come true.
Jesus loves you,
keep fooling the fools,
for they hate you
far less than themselves.
On that last step
on the banks of the Ganges river
be assured,
that your bare muddy footprint
will be the very mark
of God.

Ganges River Dolphins are listed as, endangered
and once lived in the fresh river systems of Nepal, India, and Bangladesh
These Dolphins only live in freshwater rivers, and are essentially blind
and are an important indicator, for the health of their river’s ecosystem
These Dolphins get caught up in fishing nets, as human bycatch
and human overfishing, is depleting their prey, on their own patch
They are also poached, for human greed of their meat and oil
and humans have encroached, like henchman that deplete with turmoil

Flames of lust
Silence to inhale
The primitive beast
The precious angels
Stay concealed
In mysterious nights
Of dark and lights
Whether you will grow tall
To be with the Orion
Or will fall
Among the tiger and lion
That dictates the mysterious night
With its fair and foul
That hover over and prowl
In your milieu
Deep inside you
Well, you mysterious night
No need of your dark lantern
Inside the dark cavern
I need to read the letters
As they get unfettered
Under your charming starlight
For the sake of my poems
Whatever that be
Ultimately
Down to a Haiku
To say to your white smile
In the face of the dark night
I love you
The moon sinks
In water of the Ganges river
It is future like black dark
Savage and stark
With two burning bright
Searchlights
The owl
Scans under the solo starlight
For a white cat
I look inside
At the old owl
Can black night
Bring out a white cat
Who knows
The night is always mysterious

Chanting of hymns
filling this sweet evening air
chanting of hymns
takes me nearer to God it seems
I pray to God with my heart bare
relishing each moment so rare
chanting of hymns.
Wick lamps floating
on the sacred Ganges river
wick lamps floating
with wishes of people praying
in evening breeze flames quiver
and chanting of hymns filling air
wick lamps floating.
