Happy Independence Day

The mirror indicates, with a stoic silence, that silver hairs have arrived for an indefinite stay. The pioneering hairs have looked around, and seeing that the land is fertile, will shortly return with their native tribe. Time moves on.

On Independence Day, I reconcile myself to the fact that time moves on, and people and nations must.

Do we ask why the Sun fondles the seas with her rays of light; and the surface where they kiss, the dolphins break.

Why cannot this go on forever? Because it cannot; the storms shall return, and so shall dawn.

Why does this happen? Because it happens

Do we ask why the wind makes love to the tree, with the leaves murmuring sighs of ecstasy? Why cannot this go on forever?

Because it cannot; the tree shall decay, and a sapling somewhere is reaching for the sky.

Why does this happen? Because it happens

Do we ask why Over-population, Debt, Poverty, Famines, Ignorance, Dying Children and Women's Rights abuses exist?

Why does this go on forever? Because it........

Why are we here? Because we're here

Happy Independence Day
I, Indian, and damn proud of it
