That she has sworn to...

The sign outside the monastery reads:
“Near this spot, karma
first entered the world.” -

A vengeful eye for an eye
but mind you, to avenge yourself
ain't easy as apple pie

Indeed a punch for a punch

Justice for All

time marches on
reality's fire consumes—
dreams go up in smoke

Dishonest weights, deceptive scales forsake
as chains of injustice rake the flesh

protestor's pleading, jurisdictions cheating,
cajoling, wheedling, injustice...

Once upon a corner in the City,
An old porch of craftsmen days
Vine winding posts and bannisters and rockers,

Afternoons were busy with our mother,
Rocking, mending and meting out wisdom;
Children resting...

The very two constants of a man’s life.
They we met and must leave behind.
They race each other in a constant relay
Silently telling how much time we have left.

It all begins on a bold tarmac...
