Power is not spick and span like a nun  Leaves many wounded for the battles won  Conscience doesn’t waylay a tyrant’s hand  Its touch is as coarse as desert sand  Blackened with the peat of greed, ruthless with instinct  To rule the misbegotten wilderness, beasts barely think  about the grease on the dishes lying inContinue reading “Tyranny: A poem “

I am brown  right from my crown  Sometimes, I feel down  Out of sync with town  “Cry like an onion  You bloody Indian”  The man who called me that  with the voice of prejudice spat  Yes, flowers don’t come in brown  but trees do, strong and sound  Those who felt the snub of history  didn’tContinue reading “I am brown: A poem “

There is a time for the instinct of love  and the insight of loyalty  All broken down in a simple walk in the park  The bowl of enormity that you dive into  is food for our souls   A frolic of childhood all but forgotten  but remembered in your eyes  Pictures become postcards of time  WeContinue reading “To a darling pet: A poem “
