And told that one is not good enough-
It is not good to be told that one's work
Is trite, boring, clichéd, simplistic-
It is not good to know that others cannot stand you
...
So easy to understand
Everyone said
I'm a one- dimensional man-
Then I wrote prose
...
THE POEM OF A HAPPY OLD MAN
The poem of a happy old man
I sit warming myself in the sun
...
I WAIT FOR A BUS/ WHILE WAITING FOR A POEM
I wait for a bus
...
WHY SHOULD GOD CARE FOR ME?
Why should God care for me?
I am one of the billions living now
...
Nothing I dreamed came true-
The night did not answer me either-
I was alone with my lost thoughts
And my silent memories-
...
WORN OUT AND WEARY EACH NIGHT
Worn out and weary each night
I come alive in the mornings
...
But I will go to my grave
Wondering
Whether little I will survive-
The Holy teaching says
...
I SEE SO MUCH BEAUTY
I see so much Beauty
I feel it so deeply
...
