Homeward Bound

Home is where my love is
Tired legs will take me home
My shadow grows ever long
As the sun goes slowly down
Night falls and I lose my shadow
I realize that I am all alone
The light of love is in my soul
It keeps me warm and guides me home
Can't even touch my own destiny
Destiny, is too far away from me
Civilization, culture and governments
Faith, free market and establishment
First world and the third world
We all live and die in a forlorn world
Spirituality in the "land of the free"
Is a pathetic apology for material greed
Guns and cancer-sticks at the school
Vengeance and Salvation through religion
I spare a thought for the fallen leaves
That crumbles underneath my feet
I have to walk through the mine fields
And swim across the bloody rivers
My tired legs will take me home
For there waits my true love

Remembering Cait Collins

MS_allthat I was in tears today - and I wept like a little kid. Caity will always remain to be a special person to me.

Whatever a writer or a journalist I am today - it is all because of what Caity saw in me. I'll never let her down. Cait always had very kind and inspiring words for me. She used to tell me, "kid, get a raft, and row away to freedom." That was Caity - one who really believed in being positive. Towards the end of 2004, Caity got in touch with Aunt Kath (in Australia) and conveyed the message that she wants to get in touch with me. I was so moved. Caity always asked me about Tanya an...

GIANT WHEEL OF HATRED

There is something wrong with this world. Blogs are being blocked. Bloggers are being thrown into jail. Whether your blog is good or bad for the internet and its users, whether your thoughts - personal or propaganda... everything depends on the point of view. Today, I found myself being attacked... for I spoke about the grace of life and kindness. If kindness and goodness is only something you share with your group/sect/herd/religion - then what's the point of living under this sky? When George Bush said, "either you are with us or you are against us", he was parading his ignorance at a world stage. He was also parading the soul-less self, telling us he is scared of the 'other man'. To many, a life without an enemy is almost impossible. Bush is that kind of a man. He needs to see an enemy to validate his life on earth; simply because he has no grace of his own. In today's debate on sectarian violence, I refused to take sides. Why should common people take law ...
