TALK BACK TO SHAKESPEARE

(Basic Concepts and Format developed by KRS Murthy)

PRELUDE

I humbly invite all you to participate in setting up a novel tradition in literature and art. Please feel free to invite your friends and other literary enthusiasts to participate in this project.

I have developed the basic concepts and format for a new literary tradition. I envision this to be a project for people, run by the people and for the benefit of the people. "People" could be scholars and novices, adults or youngsters, and most importantly of all languages, backgrounds and cultural / art / literary interests and accomplishments.

It is time that we really talked back to these literary masters and asked them directly anything all of us want to really ask.

In general, my intention and vision is to lay the foundation for a novel tradition of talking back to authors.

Please Note: I have intentionally not documented the details, for it is a peoples project.

Theme and Vision

This is actually a peoples project for setting a novel tradition of direct debate and discussion with the authors of famous works. The debate will take the form of dialogues, critical and constructive discussion groups and extravagant theatre presentations.

This is a master plan for critical and constructive dialogue with the greatest literary master of all times. The vision is to set up a foundation for a new tradition of continuing dialogue for many years and generations of scholars and literary enthusiasts. The foundation will set the stage for a new approach to study literary masterpieces, applicable to all languages.

This is only a high level overview of the plan. Details will be developed with a team of motivated and creative core group. During deployment of the dialogue and critical analysis, both scholars and novices would be encouraged to participate actively.

Debates and discussion of special characters

In the first project, we will be talking back to Shakespeare. I have chosen Shakespeare because I have the greatest admiration for him for his contribution to English literature. Great authors like him had superhuman literary gifts. These authors have mesmerized generations by their great writing. These authors have spoken to their readers through characters, events and even direct messages in their stories, poetry and especially dramas. We can also talk back to the authors through the same characters that talked to us. For example, as authors, we could create a drama in which Shakespearean characters talk back to Shakespeare. The drama we create may have characters from only one of his dramas, or a combination of characters from his different dramas. We could even be creative and come up with our own characters. The central person we talk back to is Shakespeare, but through his characters. We could create events in our drama in which the characters (potentially from different Shakespearean dramas) interact with each other and debate and discuss among them, and also with Shakespeare. As an example, let us imagine a scene in King Lears court in his palace. The scene could start with King Lear presiding and many characters from Shakespeares dramas present in his court. The characters in the kings court may not have to be limited from the drama "King Lear", but also other dramas like "Romeo and Juliet", "Mac Beth" or "Othello". After few tradition dialogues and little proceedings in the kings court, someone demands that they bring in Shakespeare. Soon, Shakespeare is brought dragged into the court by some soldiers. The characters start questioning Shakespeare about some situation of his drama or the motive behind the shaping of a particular character. Juliet may be in tears very angry with Shakespeare and accuse him of what happened to her and her lover Romeo. Shakespeare responds. Some other character from another drama may come to the rescue of Juliet, while another character may support Shakespeare in the discussions and debates. King Lear may declare that Shakespeare be subjected to the same fate he was subjected to, when Fool may speak on behalf of Shakespeare. It can even take the form of cross-examining Shakespeare by different characters. In time, the topic may turn into another character like Othello. Please keep in mind that in all of these dialogues, debates and cross- examining, we as, dramatists or authors, are really talking back to Shakespeare.

Please also note that this is really completely opposite and reciprocal to dramatists like Shakespeare talking to us as his readers through his characters. We are using his own characters to talk back to him.

Many corollaries are possible to this central technique, in which we may use any genre of literature like poetry, short story, novel, and drama to implement the "talk back to the author" tradition. We can choose a poet like William Wordsworth or William Blake to write a poem (or even a drama) using the "talk back" technique. We may choose a novelist or short story writer. We can incorporate humor as needed.

Examples of our intentions would be the following:

* Raise a lot of issues on the theme

* Analyze characters

* Question the author on the treatment of characters

* Debate with the author on moral and social values

* Dialogue with the author on the selection of heroes versus villains

* Understand the intentions of the author through direct discussions about good guys versus bad guys

* Pin point to the author on disturbing events and discuss regarding potential alternative events and other potential alternative tracks for the story.

* Understand the authors intentions on the creation of VIP characters.

Implementation and Deployment Techniques

* Parallel efforts in all languages

* Team effort with open participation by all - novices and scholars would be participating different levels of activities.

* Many genres would be created - poetry, drama, essays, discussion with a potential for a movie

* Many debate and discussion groups are encouraged around the world.

* Encourage a lot of people to read literature seriously, not merely read passively, but critically and constructively.

* Encourage kids and youngsters to understand with a questioning and constructive mind

* Increase worldwide awareness of great literature in all languages around the world.

* Encourage translations of the masterpieces to many more languages

* In addition to taking current interpretations, encourage expanded constructive interpretations.

* Use internet for publicity, awareness, coordination and distribution.

* Encourage all web-based forums to participate and cooperate.

* Hold interim discussion groups on web and in many parts of the world

* Use characters in the masterpieces to ask questions back to its creator - the author.

TALK BACK TO VEDA VYAASA

(Basic Concepts and Format developed by KRS Murthy)

PRELUDE

Dear Scholars and Literary Enthusiasts,

I humbly invite all you to participate in setting up a novel tradition in literature and art. Please feel free to invite your friends and other literary enthusiasts to participate in this project.

I have developed the basic concepts and format for a new literary tradition. I envision this to be a project for people, run by the people and for the benefit of the people. "People" could be scholars and novices, adults or youngsters, and most importantly of all languages, backgrounds and cultural / art / literary interests and accomplishments.

I have chosen Veda Vyaasa because I have the greatest admiration for him. Great authors like him and Vaalmeeki had superhuman literary gifts. These authors have mesmerized generations by their great epics to the extent of making all of us believe and even worship some of the characters developed by them. We have even built temples for the characters believing them to be Gods. People have named their children, cities, and streets after the great characters of these epics. The characters have lived in our dreams, lives and art.

It is time that we really talked back to these literary masters and asked them directly anything all of us want to really ask.

In general, my intention and vision is to lay the foundation for a novel tradition of talking back to authors.

Please Note: I have intentionally not documented the details, for it is a people's project.

THEME AND VISION

This is actually a people's project for setting a novel tradition of direct debate and discussion with the authors of famous epics like Mahaabharatha and Raamayana. The debate will take the form of dialogues, critical and constructive discussion groups and extravagant theatre presentations. A simple example for Mahaabhaaratha would be for characters like Karna, Abhimanyu, Ekalavya, Kunthi and Draupadi to face off Veda Vyaasa in debates, cross examinations, and constructive discussions. Some of the characters would be discussing and debating between themselves on various issues of importance, in theatrical presentations. In addition, the projects would have debates in discussion panels in which one scholar would assume the role of Veda Vyaasa, while other take the roles created by Vyaasa. In all forms of the deployment of the project, the author is subjected to cross-examinations directly by the characters.

This is a master plan for critical and constructive dialogue with the greatest literary master of all times, Veda Vyaasa. The vision is to set up a foundation for a new tradition of continuing dialogue for many years and generations of scholars and literary enthusiasts. The foundation will set the stage for a new approach to study literary masterpieces, applicable to all languages.

Similar projects could be initiated for other literary masterpieces by authors like Vaalmeeki, Kalidaasa and Bhaasa in Sanskrit. Shakespeare would be candidate for such projects in English.

This is only a high level overview of the plan. Details will be developed with a team of motivated and creative core group. During deployment of the dialogue and critical analysis, both scholars and novices would be encouraged to participate actively.

In the first project, we will be talking back to Veda Vyaasa on his masterpiece literary creation Mahaabhaaratha. Examples of our intentions would be the following:

* Raise a lot of issues on the theme
* Analyze characters
* Question the author on the treatment of characters
* Debate with the author on moral and social values
* Dialogue with the author on the selection of heroes versus villains
* Understand the intentions of the author through direct discussions about good guys versus bad guys
* Pin point to the author on disturbing events and discuss regarding potential alternative events and other potential alternative tracks for the story.
* Understand the authors intentions on the creation of VIP characters like Krishna
* Ask the author for the reasons of interlocking relationships with other epics like Raamaayana.

Debates and discussion of special characters

Characters of special interest are:

Seriously disadvantaged: Karna, Ekalavya, Draupadi, Kunthi, and Abhimanyu

Unnecessarily privileged: Arjuna, Bheema, Krishna, Draupadi, Nakula and Sahadeva.

Over idealistic characters: Bheema, Dharmaraaya, Vidura

Authors involvement: Vyaasa and other sages fathering of too many important people in the epic.

Incapacitated characters: Paandu, Drutharaastra

Moral Values: Arranged impregnations of many important characters.

Child bearing out of wedlock: Kunti, Matsyagandha

Implementation and Deployment Techniques

1 Parallel efforts in all languages
2 Team effort with open participation by all novices and scholars would be participating different levels of activities.
3 Many genres would be created poetry, drama, essays, discussion with a potential for a movie
4 Many debate and discussion groups are encouraged around the world.
5 Encourage a lot of people to read Mahaabharatha seriously, not merely read passively, but critically and constructively.
6 Encourage kids and youngsters to understand with a questioning and constructive mind
7 Increase worldwide awareness of the epic around the world.
8 Encourage translations of the epic to many more languages
9 In addition to taking current interpretations, encourage expanded constructive interpretations.
10 Use internet for publicity, awareness, coordination and distribution.
11 Encourage all web based forums to participate and cooperate
12 Hold interim discussion groups on web and in many parts of the world
13 Use characters in the epic to ask questions back to its creator Vyaasa:

Examples:

* Karna would directly interrogate Vyaasa and challenge him on the creation of the character and the ways character has serious discriminative disadvantages starting from childhood.
* Ekalayvya would challenge Vyaasa for the sacrifice of his thumb.
* Abhimanyu will ask questions and ask if his character could have been treated more sympathetically. Even Arjuna joins the discussion.
* Shakuni demands reasons for making him the master villain manipulator.

NEXT STEPS

This is how I envision the first few steps. The actual track the program takes really should be by people participation, and not only by me.

1 Create awareness and obtain buy-in from the scholars and enthusiasts.
2 Conduct some pilot projects of discussion groups, drama and debates.
3 Based on the response, plan and launch a larger scale campaign.

PILOT PROGRAMS

I need help, support, advice and especially full-hearted involvement by literature pioneers / enthusiasts like you in spreading the concept, refining the concept and trigger pilot programs. The pilot programs can be very simple. For example, it can take a simple focus with a title like "Karna talks back to Vyaasa". In a debate or panel debate mode, there would be two sides on the stage.

On one side would be Karna as the main character, with supporting characters like Duryodhana, Dushyasana, Kunthi ... These characters are really scholars (well prepared and equipped for the debate) with or without any costumes. Being debate, costumes are not important. Both men and women can take any role if the costume is not necessary.

On the other side would be the "Vyaasa team". This team can take two forms:

1 Many scholars (well prepared and equipped) can play the part of Vyaasa at the same time. Any one or more Vyaasas can respond to the question / challenge / statement made by the opposing team.

2 One Vyaasa supported by some characters of Mahaabharatha. Examples would be Krishna, Vidura ...

MOST IMPORTANTLY, the following are the benefits of such a debate panel:

1 The panel debate would be recorded (audio and or video), for simultaneous scribe, supplemented by later documentation. Press (including internet reporters) could be invited so that people not being able to attend the panel debate would be able to read / view / hear the summary.

2 This would trigger scholars of many types of genres to write poetry, drama, essay or story. The benefits are similar to that of a brain storming session.

3 Based on the ideas and challenges presented by Karna team and the responses of the Vyaasa team, dramatists could prepare drama dialogues. This is better than a solitary dramatist trying to write it. Many heads are better than a lonely one. The dramatist could credit the scholars of the panel debate. Please understand that this type of writing a drama has never been attempted. This could make a new wave of dramas and movies to be made.

Internet / web as a powerful medium:

Web sites could be the forum for such web based panel debates. We could invite scholars of your choice. We can have a separate forum for the readers to respond. You never know, if the reader forum could generate very good responses! Another advantage is that it is inherently documented as scholars and readers respond!!!!

Please feel free to send your comments, ideas and feedback to add to my initial thoughts.

There are very talented directors and organizers who can make this type of panel a success. They can make it dramatic to attract a lot of crowd.

Please let me know how you could participate in the new wave creation.

Murthy's New Poems

CREATIVE TECHNIQUES IN POETRY
KRS Murthy

Equation Poetry

One example of equation poetry is using the semblance of simultaneous equations. Simultaneous equations come in pair. We may be able to use expressions in place of equations. The poem could start with a preamble as needed. The two equation / expression type lines would follow. These lines would further be followed by some type of discussion similar to solving the equations. The poem could end with concluding lines after solving the topic, and an additional set of post amble lines.

Theorem Poems

The theorem poems would follow the elements of a mathematical / geometry theorems. Presentation, argument, conclusion, and corollaries.

INFATUATED WITH THE VIRGIN
KRS Murthy

Ah!
I am a lucky person.
I always get to court the virgin.
It is a great feeling to be the first.
Pleasant surprise of the blessing,
a gift from heaven,
when I am the one tattooing my name
on the virgin beauty.

Virgin smells and tastes divine.
She moans for the first time
as I impress my creative manhood.
The virgin moans,
"First time is the best time".
It is always ringing in my ear.
A clear sign of Eve in orgasm.

The incomparable pride of the feeling
that the virgin heart waited all along
to make love to me for the first time.

The taste of discovery is an
ego boost from the pride of victory
to hoist my flag.

To smell the virgin soil
as no footsteps anywhere to be found
is a fortune crown fitting the king
perfectly at coronation.

I feel like Neil Armstrong
landing down from
my creativity spacecraft
opening the doors wide
for a new land,
new pasture ready for occupation.

How did you feel Prof. Einstein?
How did you feel,
as you were riding the beam of light?

Don't try to hide from my sixth sense,
for your dance profile plays
on my intuition mind,
even in my dreams.

Go ahead! Hide anywhere you like
I can always come from behind to seek you
and grab you by surprise embrace.

I can spot you in all your hiding places,
in the colorful gardens of the enchanting art
amidst the imagination woods
of the myriad words,
riding on the waves
of the sea of sounds,
disguised in the contraptions
of the computing machines,
rooted in the fundamental laws
of the endless complex universe.

Hi Sweetie! I know where you are hiding.
You can hide in any land of your choice.
I can smell your apple from oceans apart.
Hunger for the apple juice
has taken control of me.

Once you share the apple with Eve,
every other fruit tastes bitter.

Oh!
What a feeling to be addicted to the apple!

SECRET SEDUCTION
KRS Murthy

It was a love at first sight.
The moment my mind's eye saw
your imagination,
I fell into your trap.

You are the most beautiful
I have ever known:
Your curvy imagination;
your vocabulary biceps and triceps;
the way every word glisters;
in your lines you weave.
Oh the concept costumes that
look good only on you is a turn on.

The metaphor jewelry,
the revealing meanings
draw my attention.

Your flirt as your lines dance
hypnotically in front of my mind.
They all grab me with seduction.

I can't control my secret desires
Not even for a second.
Let me strip my inhibitions,
to reveal the magnetism of love?
Dreams of embrace,
ecstasy of infatuation.
Just the thought makes my mind all wet.
Saliva oozes from my brain.
Pleasure of the warmth
as the blood rushes
kicking all neurons wild.
Tingling sensations,
as the head swells to galactic proportions

My brain gets erect and hard
just thinking of you.
Come on! Let us dance.

Romantic desires of
my fiction with your fiction.
My mind yearns uncontrollably
to get into bed with your brain.
What a sweet honeymoon!

You are dead long go,
but not gone anywhere.
Don't even worry.
You are dead, but immortal.
Your charm is always alive.
You come back to life every time,
invoked by soaking the brain
with your fiction.

Don't be shy!
You never know,
we may have a great offspring,
to become the greatest fiction of all times.

Selective breeding :
Your unparalleled imagination
with my mischievousness;
Vocabulary to exceed yours and mine,
with all my naughty playfulness
of word and idea juggling
Your discipline with my passion.

Contorted concepts,
bizarre to the bewildering;
Magical rendezvous
that even the nature can't claim.
Nature was never great in fiction.
That is why it created humans;
Not all those idiots
who can barely think,
but the likes of you and me,
who are just giant heads
and no limbs.

We can be anything you want us to be:
Adam and Eve for a new creation.

I can guarantee you
The joy you never knew
Don't complain if you succumb
to the addiction
of my secret love potion.

We can play all we want
in a never-ending orgasm.
Positions, techniques and tantras
to count to infinity.
They can all be our secret.

Blessed with creative virility
are destined to create the fiction child

We can sing a fiction duet on fiction affairs
Let us play out our passion.

I am selfish
for I do not want to share you
with anyone, dead alive or yet to be born.

You may be the best in fiction,
but it will be our little secret,
for you will remain nameless!

ARE YOU READY?
KRS Murthy

Hey you!
Yes. I mean you,
the questioning mind,
one with all the medals.
It is time for the BIG one!

Can you be my accomplice?
Let us do something
really forbidden

Are you ready?
Are you listening?

Let us get to the bottom.
Strip the sacred
Cut open the heads
of the noble minds.

Listen to the secrets
Peep into the vaults
hiding the skeletons
in their soul closet.

Tape every word and
even their secret hisses too;
no, not the mantras,
but the noise in their heads.

Photograph them all,
not just their innocent faces,
but all the dirt.

Can we open the sacred robes
of the monks and the nuns
to strip search their mind
just to see if they look
like me and you inside
their head and heart?

Let us line them all up,
dead and alive,
old and new.

Of course, I want them all
from all colors and shades
of all religions.
Remember well!
I want the leaders too,
no holds barred.

Bring your hidden cameras
that can shoot in the dark.
Not just infrared, but also
x-rays, alpha waves
and beta waves.
Let us cut their heads
and hearts open.
Zoom, zoom, zoom ...
Bring all the microscopes.

Why are you afraid?
Of course, I can't leave
your favorite monk out.

I know your mother, father,
and all your kith and kin
will hate you forever.
Didn't you hear me saying
"No holds barred"?
I mean it.

They won't bite.
Can't curse.
They better not curse!
Isn't cursing not allowed
as part of the oath
when they got the
fancy robes?

They may only try to run!
But, they can't hide,
too long.

Come on! Move!
Don't just stand there!
Are you scared?

I don't understand
even a single cluck
you are saying!

Why are you talking
in the chicken language?

ALPHA NIGHTMARE
KRS Murthy

Fed up of crossing all the Ts
Dotting all the Is
It is so tiring to be a perfectionist!

Such a good feeling
to let my hair down.
No make up
No need to be preppy

Glad to be one among
the others who take it easier
No more walking on the
perfect tight rope
Ears free of all the applause

Expectation free
No more unhappy to be second,
third or the last in the race;
can even afford to be lost in the race
Indistinguishable in the crowd
No more heaviness of all the gold medals,
Free of pain of all the pat on the back,
all day long.

No flashing lights on my face
Nor any spot light every where I walk
Now I am a real citizen of the world

No more boot camps,
Mother Sergeant!

Sorry Mom and Dad!
I did it all for you,
all these years.
Let me live, please,
now on.
Just my life.

Can do nothing all day long!
No guilt to cloud over me.

Washed all make up from my face
Of an Alpha male
No more acting
the role I hated.

"Wake up son!
It is already late for school.
Don't forget to make your bed,
Before you go to the bath room!"

Oh God! I am awake!
Nightmare started, again!
Let me go back to my sweet dream, please.

ANGEL VOICE
KRS Murthy

Sweet words landed surfing to the shores of my ears
High and low, riding on the tides of the full moon

Impelled by the waves upon waves of warm breath
Messages carried from the ocean depths of your heart

Very calm in the core, yet simple small ripples
Grow to surges, sky high, intimate persuasions

Tantalize and tickle my senses as melody in my ears
Beyond sound vibrations, transduction to ecstasy

Do angels speak into our ears or simply reach out to our hearts?
Sing love lullabies in our dreams, or really adorn our love castle!

CELEBRATION MADNESS
KRS Murthy

Let us open a bottle of Champaign, to celebrate every hour.
Just a glass of wine, or even a cup of coffee will do it

There is so much to celebrate in this world all the time
Around the clock, every few minutes, good things happen

Can you hear a baby cry coming out of the womb?
A couple wedding for life and going on honeymoon

A businessman getting a big contract for millions
A ball game with a team winning, little kids in fun

So many people happy and grateful for their blessings
Why do you need to be selfish to celebrate only for you?

Happiness is still the same even if your enemy wins
Isn't happiness bottom line whatever be the reason?

Didn't you feel happy when a cute puppy was born,
just to see it happen somewhere in the neighborhood?

When one team wins in a ball game, even if it is not yours
Why can't you celebrate, even if you did not cheer for it to win?

It takes very little to build a sense of belonging to the winning team
Celebrate once in your life for other's happiness, and smile with them

Watch the magic happen only once to make a believer of you
You will have contracted the celebration madness once for all

It is quite ok that I do not have any success today
Why should I be sorry to have failed in my life?
I am eager to celebrate for the success of the world
For my heart reverberates with every smiling soul

LOVE BIRD'S NEST
K.R.S. Murthy

Scent before the sight
Song before the bird
Warmth before the hug
Love before the union

(These four lines are sung by the chorus singers)

(The four stanzas of two lines each are sung by lead singers. Different stanzas by different lead singers first and then repeated by all the lead singers)

A colorful bird made its nest in my heart
Never seen before, nor the sweet music heard

Flew from afar, onto my wrist, with closed palm
Beating its wings, beating my heart, to let it open

Hurry! Feed the soul that is hungry all the while
Alas! The bird has already nested in my soul

The door closed shut in a flash, to be closed forever
Forever and ever, no place for all the strangers

Note: I may change the words a little bit to suit the tune as I compose the detailed music. I will start tuning shortly, even though I have the basic tune in my mind. I am very open if anyone wants to work with me on the tune and music composition. Please contact me if you are interested)

CLOWNING IS FUN
KRS Murthy

Let us be fools
Make funny faces like a buffoon
Color the faces like a circus clown
Plug the nose with red sponge ball

Let us juggle, jumble and fumble
Trip on invisible things
Fall down on our faces
Scream loud and silly with a fake cry
Point to the teardrop painted
so very real below the eyes
with a spit licked on to the finger

Walk with a limping leg
behind an unsuspecting naïve victim
Poke his ears with a tickling feather
Watch him scream scared and run away

It is all for play
Smile for no reason
Laugh loud have fun
Laugh every way we can

ABSOLUTION ASSURANCE
KRS Murthy

I remember the times my mind vomited
eruptions of stinking gooey green liquid
every time I remembered how you made
me feel by rejecting me on my rainy days.

My soul sobbed with cries and hick ups
thinking of the unbearable sad moments
you turned your head away with no pity
ignoring my severely torn bleeding heart.

Nightmares chased me in broad daylights
soaking me wet inside my own sweat pool
sinking my confidence deep submerged
in desperation robbing all my zeal oxygen.

All my hopes were buried in a graveyard,
closed tight in a coffin of total insecurity
in an anonymous tomb with no capstone
guaranteed of zero chance of resurrection.

You have no reason to hide in the fortress
safely hunkered down in the cruelty castle
laying flat deep in your cowardly bunkers
scared for your life of my revenge bullets.

I bare no arms even for my own protection.
Locked my anger long ago with an oath seal,
never to quench even the simplest revenge,
only to fly high with pardoning pair of wings.

Oath to shelter even the snakes that bite hard,
embrace the enemy with a warm friendly hug,
wear the forgiveness smile always on my face,
shed the pain skin to gain a tolerance within.

ARE WE RICH?
KRS Murthy

Dad! All my friends were discussing today
To know when we have really become rich

To be sure that we are rich is not easy at all
As I do not know what is being rich anymore

Are you rich when you have lots of money?
Do not need any more money to say enough

Just like I have felt that I can't eat any more
In a full stomach after a really tasty big meal

Do you ever get enough to say no more please?
How can I my find a stomach to put my money?

That just refuses to eat any more money to force feed
The tummy warns with a hurt really badly, when I ignore

When I feed anymore by force clearly spells pain
Just enough is happiness, and too much really means less

Less happiness than before, and the money doctor
Will cruelly prescribe fasting for the rest of your life

If you still ignore the doctor, you will win a ticket
A free ticket to a non-stop bullet train to the grave

Always had this question even when I was a little girl
Never asked this question as you were busy being rich

Is it too late now to ask kneeling in front of your grave?
For you can't answer while you are taking a long rest

You probably never knew whether you were rich enough
For your parents never taught you the important lesson

Born unlucky with my stomach full as you ate for me
Probably enough for my children and grandchildren too

Let me go on an immediate workout regiment to give away
Give to all who were lucky born hungry to parents who ate

Bred a generation of hungry souls who knew when to quit
Walk away from the dinner table before it is too much

Give away to the needy, and beg for their blessing on me
For my generation to regain the precious healthy hunger

Embrace the ritual of the sacred penance of giving myself
Give as much as my soul pleads me to do, and do listen

Treasure the sharing of my fortunes, and gain in sharing
Like palming water from the vast ocean, just to return it

Back to the vastness to feel the fortune of playing the role
Of a giver and take the proud bow with the divine gratitude

Dr. Murthy said....

Start giving away yours little at a time
To feel the pride and joy of giving
Then give up the pride and joy it self
Giving away the ego of giving
To really know what is giving
Giving is just giving up your Self

AT LAST!
KRS Murthy

Opportunity raindrops are very slowly dripping
in the disaster city haunted by poverty draught
washing away decades of curse dirt.

Expectation seeds are finally germinating
as the victim larva jailed in the cocoon
buried forgotten in the fate mud
is suddenly surprised waking up
from the long nightmare.

Any day, daydreams may be adorning
the spring child like pearls of bud,
eagerly smirking to bloom,
to sprinkle the air with prosperity perfume.

Heavens are lighting the blesses candle
shining lightening glows on the neglected soil.

Silent prayers have ascended to the clouds
as the delayed thunder signals
the cracking of the opening heavens doors
locked shut for the condemned unfortunate souls.

The heavens have been cured
from the prejudice blindness,
negligence deafness,
and the wickedness insanity.

The justice Sun is embarrassed
with a big blood red face
peaking through hope horizon.

Deep sigh breeze is blowing away
the bad air of hard times.

New day baby has born
unaware of its past incarnation.

It only knows to smile!
The miracle mist in the air, at last!
