HOLI
I didn't keep the fast
there's no Naw Ruz for me
there's no Holi either
I ceased to be a Hindu
long ago Christians too
doubted my faith and love
Moslems are too rigid
to admit a secular
now alone I watch
the tragedy of colours:
I celebrate difference
and freedom of spirit
but they question my birth
and all me a hypocrite

HE WORRIES
Travelling
he worries who'll carry him
