Welcome home

August 4th, 2010 · View Comments

I rejected it all,
refused it wholesale.
Now I welcome back the pieces,
bit by bit
as I see fit.
Many questions remain,
grow by the day.
But the home within
will always stay.

Am I, America?

July 17th, 2010 · View Comments

Am I meddling in mediocrity,
or striving for what I really
want to be?
Am I meandering,
or steadily treading the path?
Am I turning down the good life
for one which is great,
or am I simply settling for less?
America, a land of bounty
and wasted possibility.
India, a barren wasteland
but filled with beauty unseen.

The cascading breath
carries me there,

Hilarious Delhi-rium

April 30th, 2010 · View Comments

Caught up in the race
of cars, thoughts and rats.
Continuous comparison,
city life of crowds and competition
no space to hear yourself think
others breathing down your neck
the heat grit smoke dust
choking all life around.
The seat of government and diplomacy,
madness and no mercy.
To thrive: a miraculous task;
most just barely survive.
The dream and drive of making it big,
the unbeatable will [...]
