“I make myself man

each time I create”

--R.K.Singh

I always dreamt the worldas one and thought I belonged

but none let me live

my simple soul at homewith differences

they kicked me into exile

for their prejudicesforced me seek my nest

in myself

I share the wisdomof peace and life in tune

with nature

where it goes to relax:

joys of fleeting moments”

“life limits between

whence the sun rises and

I wanted to touch a sun

vanished before my hands

became titan to reach

the horizon
