Image Gene met a four
but Sima Lee he still a doored
A human
Human enough
Enough to be
To be ME
ME to be
Be a HOMEMAKER
HOMEMAKER in myself
In Myself where-ever I am
Where-ever I am is my HOME
my HOME is in ME
ME wanting to help YOU
YOU and ME form WE
WE and I and me for US
US all are HOMEMAKERS no matter what our profession!
PROFESSION does not stop breathing wellness into HOMEMAKERS in 'US'!

My internal jyothi
Senses the palpitations.
The wick glows;
The lamp glistens!

INNOCENT
Am I not Innocent
That I am being subjected to war
Against my own wishes
Why? Am I not innocent?
Am I not Innocent
That I am being subjected to slaughter
Against my own wishes
Why? Am I not innocent?
So who is INNOCENT and in whose eyes?
If beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder,
Perhaps so does Innocence.
Perhaps these days
Innocence is decided
Decided by the man or woman
Who wants to slaughter
Slaughter for meat or meal
Slaughter for power or money
Slaughter for fame or fear
Slaughter for faith or freedom
Slaughter is Slaughter!
Innocence is no more innocence.....
Innocence of the plant or flower has vanished
Just the way the cow's has....and so has the dog's....
Innocence has given way to slaughter....
When will humankind regain the fragrance of innocence again??

Love

without you here
my life is finished
Stay!
