  • India’s Gold Rush

    At long last, we are catching up / With the pioneers who made / Of America what it is— We are digging for gold.

    They had great faith in the gods/Dotting the hills and dales—/Those men and women who/Are now corpses.

    Dear master Frankenstein,/Why dost thou sulk in woe?/ Is there a fruit I have plucked/ That you did not first sow?

    Shri Srinivasan—he a good Indian;/ He knows how in India when words are uttered,/ It is mostly keeping in mind/ Which side the bread is buttered.

    Woman, if and when you bless me, / You are goddess; / When you do obey unquestioningly / My command, you are devi; / When you say, wear, think your own thing,You are whore...

  • The Land Of Pluralism

    Does India contradict itself?/ What if it does; its sages knew from / Sanaatan aeons that all/ Is post-modernist, nothing is true. Thus success will come only if/ You do as you do do.
