Why go to
Canada or
USA?
What shall I
Do there?
When my
Mind remains
Always with you
Why go anywhere?
_________________
Another version could be:
What shall
I do by going
To Canada
Or USA,
When from
You I can
Never stay
Away...!!!
Born
Do I
Want to be
Born again
In this
Unsafe
World?
No.
Do I have
A choice?
No.
God who
Takes care
Of all our safety
Will again send me
As if to show me
How he really cares
For me ;-)
The
The whole
World is
Speaking
Let me be
Silent
For when I
Start speaking
The whole
World will
Go silent
(pertaining to God's silence)
Why?
Why do
I live in
A perpetual
State of
Denial?
The reason
Is simple.
Reality
Bites me.
(Theme: Escapism)
Gorges
Her
Husband
Left her
With so
Much of
Bitterness
That she now
Gorges on
Chocolates
To get some
Sweetness
(written after visiting an acquaintance of ours who indulges in a lot of comfort eating to fill up the emptiness left by the strained relation with her ex-husband)
