• I am not a politician

  I can’t decide the fate of the people

  I am one of the citizens of a billion,

  Peace, love & freedom love the colour of my eyes

  Pain & remembrance are the old friends of mine

  A knot has a wish that is sacred

  & speaks the truth that is truth.

  I have tasted the violence that is violent

  I have tasted the beauty that is absolute

  I look back and say

  As a matter of my skin

  Is the gesture of my resistance.
