Hungry but helping…
Love shines in deficiency too…

A tool to knit
A tool too tight
let me have a similar tool
to brighten all alive
human to human
face to face
journey flowing
up in race.
let us face
life again
with strength supreme
with joys after sane
from home to home
from town to town
let me knit in each human
a joy instead of frown.
I will go knit tight
I won’t leave self
for another choice
from city to city
from tower to tower
let each human smile
enormous.
let me knit inner beauty
in every woman
in every mom a joy
a precious child
within easy apoly
this be just
this be high
life begins as tool
life ca rise above the sky.
thinga of beauty
we apply.
let me knit wisdom
let me knit out pain
let me knit in lovely gain
of things that are sane.
and when I knit in
my fingers pain
I don’t mind mom
a pain for this gain
of better world
of better in thoughts
of lighter joys
without heaviness of storm
i speak to my heart
I hear nothing outside
there is occupancy of mind
with love for life.
when I knit better
will no one praise
why you thought poor mom
i knit for our better in days
I knit for world
for many poor in shame
for many poorer still
with no wool to knit
the world again.
I knit as scholar
realising the society holes
I have to set free
every poor girl in cage
the world will smile
when sane again
i knit for peace
I knit not for shame
I knit for not me
for not even my fame.
i king for poor
tattered in and shattered
whom rich don’t repair
I knit for a home of pain
so that it doesn’t enters in
any other place
I knit not for God‘s grace for me
I nri not for you mom
nor for me
I knit for happiness
to stay in every place
I make a colourful cap
for the new borns
without mom
without food for the day
I knit not for me
for I can stay safe in snow
I don’t need more clothes
i knit a little for you mom
so that you get food
for us to live one more day.
when the snow shook
me last night mom
i was afraid
but nay not for me
I knit for girls of my age
I knit for old ones
and new ones
I knit for whole human race.
I won’t write my name
I shouldn’t be known mom
else world will weep
how without food
I use to sleep?
how without enough of clothes
storm ate me
nay, I will never print my name
not for fame
but for service
where self is no where
bringing home destiny
I saw many poor like me
I dropped my destiny
on the floor
for them to collect and eat
I love you mom
I love to eat
but we won’t die
if we knit for world’s
relief.
we will live another day
with snow
I know Mom the world will know
but no one cares
for a fading day
we will serve the world
and one day
go hungry away
we won’t even pray to God
for self
else God won’t have enough
for every home
let us be torn Mom
let us be at no home
we will love the storms
we will work for lame
we will create the world
a lovely place
someday
someday
we will make the world
a lovely, loving place
with these tiny words
I heart
is dead with
hunger and storm
my tiny girl
is dead in storm

I am in search of something inside of me which I know cannot be found outside of me. Real knowledge!
