To Feed the Soul
How can money be beneficial to the spirit?
She could garner money.
To her it was the goal
She treated it like honey
The sweet dollars fed her soul.
Her response to the lust
Was to stifle the beast.
Her want for cash was a must
She produced an entire feast.
Cares fell dead
And her concerns she did embalm.
Once the moment’s mouth was fed
The storms she could calm.
In her mind she did clear
The way to plant cash crops.
How she did like to hear
Her bank account give her props.
She expected to produce more.
Time warped and stretched to allow
For hours to slide out of the door.
She used the candle to kill the tallow.

Chanda sent home money every two weeks. In a small village in India, she deposited money into the bank account of her Aunt and Uncle who sent her to live in America. The place seemed so remote, almost cut off from the rest of the country. There, a festival took place where participants hurled cow eliminations at each other. The muddy, mucky sense of it had been known for centuries. Locals tied it to an ancient god who they believed restored people’s health with the cow plops. During the festival, thick patties hurled through the air and smushed into the bodies and faces of those rollicking around in the filth.
