Let me return to Mother Earth

...My play’s last scene when comes to end, when ends 
My pilgrimage, its last laborious mile, 
It’s time to call the curtain in a while, 
Time ‘tis to say goodbye to my dear friends… 
And to show up...

...We wait in vain for "Godot" 
we groan in pain for solace, 
in hope that someday, they'll ease our pain, 

When fools are in Power, 
They cast the weight of pain upon our brow, 
and make us wish...

These modern times, a far cry from
Being saner, kinder, gentler, wiser,
Are a cancerous race to satisfy the insatiable.

With our advance into abundance

Breakfast For Squids

And Colder Felt the Chill

...That night amidst cries, clamours, din, 
When coffin scandal headlines claimed, 
We shuddered— such was stench of sin, 
Those in snow felt ash grey, ashamed, 

In sullied caskets feeling ill,

...An enigmatic and ludicrous wave.
Despite the seemingly endless love.

I am a soul weeping on the moon.
Place a step on the clouds strewn.

A mystery and a horrific dream
I am a random person o...

My Children

...
Among blessed mothers...alone

When proof was in place
I rejoiced with those who jeered
Finally, when you arrived
I endured entitled cheers

As you grew into self
And I surrounded you in loving ground
I endured advice givers

When you came through trials
Adults have failed to clear
I endured judgment
Formed from their deepest fears

............of faliure

When we rose up out of darkness
To live in...
