Whose habit of swearing was vast.
Some said his firing was near
But Caste cited nothing to fear

All the others have gone by and passed,
Effort God making;
Breath away taking;
More nets to save souls He has caste.

Who chewed on the hottest of chilly.
His mouth copped the blast,
Now with body parts caste...
His wife frantically searches for Willy....

Every time when Trump tried to meet,
With moron supporters being discrete;
Caste in stone;
Leave alone;
All of us in fall Democrats will defeat.

While he had stood  in front of parade;

Off still  showing;
More trouble for many people he made.

Onto a path were tossed and than caste,
Into an unbearable and perturbing past,
Problems created,
We had hated,
That had been huge and so very vast.

In this poor life we’ve been condemned to die,
Forever stuck in our unwanted caste;
Pawns, broken by society,
Hunched at the pyramid's base we lie;
We are the untouchables of mankind.

We have forgotten and they no longer last;
Cause was lost;
Forgot the cost,
And into deep depression have been caste.

glittering pearls flickering tinges from
the sunlights caste

through chocolate eyes
and hungry hearts
to submerge in pure water

Worst of Things

Worst of things some will start to tell;
While they are trying to caste a spell;
Once was placid;
Now is rancid;
Oh earth, America had become a hell.

Sad to say so I did anyway.

So are these shades of green,
Dancing in the subtle wind;
Resting from this harsh sunlight,
Only that in which depend...
For time has caste shade,
To ease the passing day;
Awaiting the cool moonlight...
For another long night's stay....

No argument, no caste, nothing will matter
When India's erstwhile maestros sang in Hindi
Though mine is sparse, their songs made me traditional
O cultural shell! Wired so Indian, South African me
Millions in India, thanks Bollywood, will still sing along...

i walked down the alley of my mind,
it was lonely.
i entered the room of my heart,
it was empty.
i peeped through my eyes,
i was blind.
what spell did time caste on us?
your absence in abundance...
‘cause i scented your aroma.
it had waned.

Many claims love is mad,
Alike you spice of life;
I wonder listen to glad
Spare rare its magic dive.

No age bar pride prefer,
Not even avidity for sex;
Caste, color, creed cried confer,
Consider beauty of mind relax.

Free from bondage perfect hive,
Sustain glory till universe alive....

Now, caste upon breath of wind

Life in the Country

Life in the country can be a blast
When you live there you feel free
I remember from my past
Life in the country.

I was raised on mother’s knee
Loved enough to last
My parents were good to me

My life was spent in the lower caste
I guess it was meant to be
Yet I don’t regret my past
Life in the country....
