Dipole


North pole without South

does not, a magnet, make.

Work without passion

does not, a masterpiece, make.

Rights without duties

does not, a democracy, make.

***

Logic without emotion

does not, a human, make.

Power without compassion

does not, a hero, make.

Pearl


When I was born, a tiny grain was I

I fell in love with a million colors

I wanted to know them all, be them all
***

To school I went

They said: “The world ain’t your oyster

There are SEVEN colors true

You must choose red, white or blue.”

***

I chose blue, I went to tech school

They said: “The world ain’t your oyster

There are just TWO colors: black & white

The colors choose you, you follow.”

***

Follow I did, off to b-school

They said: “The world ain’t your oyster

There are only shades of grey

You win some, you lose some, don’t ask why”

***

That, my friend, is how I embarked

On this journey to the end of the rainbow

With every passing day, Those voices grow fainter

Colors grow brighter, a billion shimmering dots

***

The world is my oyster

I AM HOME

Passion


When with envy, I grow green

May the all powerful ocean flood me serene

When with gloom, I feel blue

May the clear blue sky remind me clouds are passing and few

When with pride, my ego swells like the sun yellow

May the omnipresent air teach me of virtues mellow

When with rage, my blood boils red

May the all consuming fire warn me of tears unduly shed
