Cultural ownership,
disproportionately lavished upon kings,
the occasional ecopolitical queen,
white male Republican Senators,
elite corporate CEOs
overdriving inside monocultural management
feeding consumer acquisitive appetites
Leads to cultural entitlement
Elitely leads to cultural appropriation,
where I win appropriate proportions
at your loser disproportionate misfortune,
And,
sometimes to multicultural creolization,
where everyone wins Golden Rules
co-arisingly together.

Overdriving
the silence in zero light,
flickers of sickle moon were
fading.
There was a conflict between
reason and
conscience. My father was
smiling.
Where was the gold, he asked
walking with his wooden-
stick in jungle of tears ?
I kept the door ajar.
A smoke engulfs my eyes.
Before he died, he took
a promise from me.
I would not be visible.
