About me

A mother, wife and civil servant, a conscientious citizen and patriot ----- my abiding love for books has made me try my hand at writing poetry, none of which is anything but the strictly spontaneous outpouring of a mind that prizes truth and harmony, above all else.

the rare commodity



We live in affluence
--- roads clean
gardens green
seasonal flowers
ficus, amaltas
garbage pick up
power back up
large bungalows
help galore
shiny SUVs
Mercs, Audis
evening walks
leashed dogs
daily gymming
weekly shopping
alert security
gated colony ----
Alas! the one commodity
that one finds but rarely
is charity.
