    I do give value.
    Like preachers, I sell vision,
    like perfume ads, desire
    or its facsimile. Like jokes
    or war, ...

    Profound with nice wit. Good poem and pure for PH lab.................... Pranab k c

    A rich tapestry of words knitted tightly together - this poem begs to be read over and over again to squeeze out the maximum meaning. Loved it.
