Prayojanam

Sheri mole..

before you

answer that

let’s ease up

n play a game

my dear child

what do you say?

Shall we?

Of course Ma

i mumble

startled..

and happy

already..

Come dear One

Just for fun

Guess n tell

what you

like best

truth n honour..

or love n beauty..

or life n hope..

or music n magic..

or freedom..

?

mind sits quiet

smiling back

at dear heart

exchanging quiet smiles

like little guardians

of childhood secrets

they whisper

to each other

they laugh

n conspire

the little bandits

run to Mother

in one voice

they laugh

n answer

Freedom o Great ONE..

..to be true

Freedom to be honourable

Freedom…

to decide

what love and beauty

may be like

Freedom to live

Freedom to hope

Freedom to sing

Freedom..

to see n know

our own reality

Freedom Mother…

Freedom

they laugh

hop skip n dance

the little bandits

Father’s children
