ONE DAY I THOUGHT OF LEAVING
,
IT WAS A MOMENT.. I CLOSED MY EYES,
...

Contained in this world is one specific hatred
Colour and ethnicity; these differences denigrated
Before I was born, I knew I was already hated
‘Cause of the colour of my skin, constantly humiliated.
...

ONE DAY I THOUGHT OF LEAVING ,
IT WAS A MOMENT.. I CLOSED MY EYES,
MY SELF WAS TORN TO PIECES, APART OF ME WAS TAKEN AWAY..
THAT MOMENT I SAW A CRYING ORPHAN BEGGING ME TO STAY.

A poet is but

A God in disguise,
Who creates -
...

From freedom
To security
Checked
searched
...

Pride and armor
of a lineage, a perception
cautions and lifts inner to a
pedestal.........
...

It is so sad
when clarity
gives way to
frank befuddlement.

I am saddened, in fact dismayed
For the attention that I have paid
To fellow poets who fail to perceive
That they should enlighten and not deceive.

Hey, in India,
The India of the mass
Diverse and varied,

opposite sides of the world

I’m not a history buff at all, ……BUT I’ve heard some stories ……
about some of history’s most grievous moments, and some …..of its glories.
I’ll repeat several of the grievous moments for you now to hear.
Some of you may scoff at them, while some may shed a tear.

In search for truth we follow many paths
Till the understanding dawns upon us

still not dark, many candles were lit,
a living candle, a source of light,
let the candles lit, we need it.

water and energy
for survival.

At the same time.

A -BRI'S INTRODUCTORY POEM:


It's mid-September and the pressure is mounting,
...

Bricks, sands, cements made this house-
The concrete house; house of backbone,
backbone for a nation,
to stand; stand with rising head,
...

Indeed, I want in my heart to become a person who is quite well-off materially and essentially happy. Not grandiose, enough to have a luxury car and house, a beautiful wife, high degrees in the office, have the title of professor, children who study abroad.
That might be my wishes, but maybe if I saw that desire I would consider myself pathological. However, life doesn't need stability anyway.
Life can be lived only with happiness. But I will sneer at you with the words 'eat that happiness' because the people who say that are only envious, envious, spiteful people and their friends. Do you know that shirk is a sign of being unable.
I have to look for media that is appropriate, effective and efficient to find that there is indeed a woman who loves to be loved. Regardless of status, stratification, orientation, religion and ethnicity. However I am aware that at this time I am not yet well established materialistically and academically, but if there is, who knows, someone will want to be with me.

So many things to learn....taboo's and customs

So stunning a stretch of kolams
Before each house in definite columns.
Simply superb, woven into patterns.
Designs of dots, single and multi lines,
...

Be who you are
Accepting yourself is a start
Open your eyes
Look at yourself
...

Beauty, grace, ethnicity displayed
as together they sway and dance
to the music so traditional;
Invitees sharing pleasant talks,
...

Moon illuminates
World with silver rays
Make no division
Thatched roof or concrete roof tops
...

Most of us.
Including you.
Me. They and them.
Regardless of ethnicity.

I want to be a happy loser
In the spirit of sportsmanship
I had sewn two shirts for myself
Of green, red and white

And collect the then shattered nation back to one piece

Which in turn translates into standing against:

For ethnicity
draped in gasoline

What makes you think you can talk to me like that
Violate my vulnerability
Mock me with your careless tongue and cold stares
...

How shall I then sing this anthem
and cross my right hand to the left to render this pledge?
Cause every time I tell lies, I feel a twitch in my heart
and a voice, telling me stop that.
...

We celebrate you every first day of the sixth month of the year
Kenya our country, our motherland
We celebrate our freedom, fifty three years of self rule
Freedom from the chains of colonialism

It is not every day that visions are clear.
Sometimes it can all become a blur,
Especially on cold nights when you are very tired and need to curl with your blanket of fur.

Unfortunate to hear the happenings

With a diversity to create.

From the northeast region of India,
If Indian English poetry itself can be misnomer

Why we humans quarrels ourselves
Why we couldn't live the life, smooth?

An identity distinguishes one individual from other people.

I cry for the children that are homeless
I cry for the brave men on the frontline that left their families behind,
I cry endlessly for the mothers that have lost their children,

Isn't a shame to have hatred among us?
People are being isolated because of who they are,
The size they are, the physical challanges they have,
The ethnicity, race, or nationality they are from.

Democracy is a rule by majority.
It's not to silence the minority

Sometimes you let go
ethnicity for a gentle tug
at your arm.
...

What was tyranny, if there
were no tears. The stranger lures you
to beehive, how they protect ethnicity.

The true worth of any human being should not be defined by race
In a multicultural society for racism there's no place

Those racist to those different are low in self esteem

America has been GREAT, great for the last two centuries.
All right, America has been the greatest among all countries,

Would you hide me for my protection,
Would you take hold of my arm
To protect and then hide me from harm.

How ''Ice-Is'' Made From Flesh & Blood...
...

Before you were born into this body,
You had many life decisions to make.
Where on Earth do I want to live?
Who will I choose for parents?
...

Thoughtlessness accepted.
With a disrespect to expect.
A dignity and identity,
Yet perceived to be arrogant.
...

For anyone sold,
On racism to buy.
And invest in it.
Along with division and disparities,
...

With a silenced mind,
Listen to them find...
Excuses to make for themselves.
And those who make excuses,
...

They've been conditioned to believe,
What happens to them in their environment...
Is a reflection of society and the general public.
And what has been done to them has been effective.
...

Whoever decided,
People will pay to stay...
Where historic myths exist,
And a quality of life...
...

Today,
Although needless and serves no purpose...
There are those still making attempts to escape,
With an erasing of their true 'selves'.

I hope that I can move you when I hype

having died, most people say,
on what is known as Christmas Day

'Jivaeri' (Jiva-eri) .Precious jewel or treasure.
'It's a beautiful, traditional Greek Island folk song of unknown authorship.I grew up listening to this song and it always had a special place in my heart.So I recorded this version with the hope of exposing it to a wider audience around the World.This song is about a Mother lamenting the loss of her child due to emigration.(In Greece many families send their children to foreign lands with the hope of a better life.) In retrospect, the mother regrets having sent her child away and the pain she feels has caused her to now humbly and quietly walk on this Earth.'

If the image is projected,
Within institutions...
Kept to worship everywhere.
It would not matter,
...

Who amongst us today lives,
Without being affected...
By tribal ancestral racism?
And who are they that can say,
...

Even beauty to present it,
Is not without...
Its flaws and blemishes.
Behind,
...

It is not the past...
Gone to have had.
In need to be corrected.
Microscoped and examined.
...

Insecurities mended.
And long to have healed.
With decisions to make.
Admitting my own mistakes.
...

What is the effective objective,
Does anyone expect.
By continually bashing,
Actions taken by others...
...

Never has it been,
To uncover in history written...
That a man made creation,
Of disease invented...
...

When an irritating presence,
Loses this significance...
To no longer irritate.
Yet continues to instigate,
...

Revealing.
Is the peeling away,
The image of pretentiousness.
Kept for years and decades,
