Puppets on a Stage
Living and navigating in life
Is always between two whispers
It’s the narrow bridge crossing
Such is the journey, such is this life
If you are in love, be passionately in love
Be in love with the infinite, is the refrain
Why worry about being wet by the rain
Dive headlong into the ocean of love
Life is like a vast heaving sea
The waves appear and disappear
And dissolves in the sea instantly
Life overwhelms us like the ocean
The universe is floating with the waves
Who knows it’s all but a huge ocean
Humans are a puppet on a celestial stage
Our heart is one vast, and endless ocean

Suffer the Children
Where do we hide our shame
How do we erase our failure
When a child dies in front of us
His final words: I am hungry
No one answered his call
He departed this world in pain
Carried by the pain of hunger
His pain is a bleeding testimony
Why are you silent, O world
Why have you failed this one child
Suffer the little children
To come into Him, so the Good Book says
Why did we let the children down
Why did we not give the answer
To a simple question asked of us:
We are hungry, we want to eat!
They cannot eat the silence
They cannot eat the pain
They cannot eat the neglect
All are their testimony against us

The Waterfalls
I just love waterfalls, so full of expression
As water is tumbling down endlessly
A curtain of water, full of life and passion
Hitting the rocks below, consistently
There is a sense of hurry, an urgency
Yet there is deliberateness, and a purpose
There is a music to the rhythm, a symphony
A rhyme to the sounds, in a heartfelt repose
Some say love is like — a waterfall that flows
Hitting the heart with passion, robustly
Even rocks would soften under such blows
The waterfalls, a symbol of Nature’s beauty

Testy Smile Times
Today, gold and silver have lost their sparkle
That’s the best news so far in a long while
A headline worthy of Thanksgiving’s chuckle
Hope it’ll give balance sheets a testy smile
To reflect on the destruction to the climate
That is the problem of our age
It’s real guys, not just an adage
Either we act now, before it’s just too late
Heard GM’s trucks kept guidance in gear
The balance sheet is the road test for Tesla
Walmart has a Thanksgiving headline
So will be many anxious giants, needing a fine

Where We Came From
This morning I was walking in the park
I thought how nice and cool for a walk
After a while the sky started to darken
Deep inside I knew the day would sullen
I could sense the first drop when it came
It landed right on my face, ever so gentle
I wondered maybe it was playing a game
Or hinting to me of its destination final
My mind lingered on each rain drop’s form
How as it falls from the sky it has its own form
Then I wondered about it reaching the ocean
When it loses its form to be part of the ocean
Maybe, that is the key message of the rain
Telling us to be ready to give up our form
And to reunite with the ocean once again
For verily that is where we first came from
