Bring the emptiness to words Important to sentences flow, Go within to find what is Being that awareness of the now. Present in the now of yourself Brings the emptiness to words No thoughts of past or future Without shape, color or design. Come to oneness of pure being, Only self can be this, Bringing the emptiness to words Neutral ground zero. Free from minds chains Linked only to the beauty Beautiful self inside, Brings the emptiness to words.

Emptiness
In the streets of Delhi advertised on every sign, Is the British army’s need for you to buy buy buy. It may cost your turban, your home your family, and the worn clothes. But it’s for the greater good right? of the empire of them ‘s and those. When you pass the gender and notice his cracked lips, And coughing and dying son, You feel sympathy as you would for anyone. But you can parch him as your son cant starve too, And that’s just the law of the untouchable that are below you. Despite your status being not much better, You walk a stranger to their leering eyes, As you were the clean white sashes and ties, But they don’t realise the shackles you are also in. As the phrase goes that you see on all the ads. “You can’t make your own confections, You can’t save your own possessions, You can’t even built out of your own wood, Because for the good of the empire of the greater good, You will serve to pay the fees that are higher than you can afford to do.” When you think of that as you walk these deep streets you can’t help walking in a way of shame, As you know you can’t blame these overlords, But the submissions and laws of old, That they stole and now uphold. Never to be loss of my shackles, I pass these streets, and go on to Mumbai for the next delivery meet.

The Salts Bitter Taste
All the women in my life They- I cannot deny- Have shown me love unknown To men who vainly roam Their words of dew and sway Bring rise to dawn and day Their hymns and fabrics blown From their sylvan loam They bear me in their arms Where sorrow breeds no harm And turn my mouth to crow Of harsh and fleeting home In time and hastened feet Approaching skin's defeat I recollect and row Through times of sky and foam

Times of Sky and Foam
Just in case you hadn't noticed Existence is a paradox Don't mean this as a metaphor But I am really in a box I haven't been around that much Just in case you hadn't noticed Been buried under all this weight I've been somewhat less than focused I don't mean to be a bother But my skelebones are showing Just in case you hadn't noticed Frigid winds of time are blowing I'm breaking up but that's a break From this sameness and psychosis I'm right here if you look for me Just in case you hadn't noticed rc

Existence (a quatern)
Open your eyes. Wake up, wake up. This is just a dream, it’s not real… Keep your head down, don't dare look up. It won’t see you if you keep still. Swallow your dread, push down the fear. Open your eyes. Wake up, wake up! Clench your fists, suppress the shiver; one wrong move and the game is up. Don't scream when the monster eye up above you sets the sky ablaze. Open your eyes. Wake up, wake up! It is shifting its evil gaze. (Gasp) You have been spotted. Oh, no! Legs stuck like a fly in syrup, you can't flee; there’s nowhere to go. Open your eyes, WAKE UP! WAKE UP!

Nightmare
She always look outside her door Or stay beside her window pane She wants to know and see much more Her neighbor’s deeds and what they gain She has to meet the rich and poor She always look outside her door But that motive of yesterday Gone with the wind, t’was blown away She’s now but an observant one Who always judge and sneers at man She always look outside her door Seems she forgot what is life for This poor woman, she never know That now she looks like a scarecrow Her feet stands flat on the floor She always look outside her door.
