Parallel ripples in the sand
contain shells,
notes in the sea's music scales
An arcane Sanskrit
is the sandscript.
Holding the conch to the ear
humming Om one hears.

Footnote: William Jones, occupying
judge during the British occupation of India
said "Sanskrit is more perfect than Latin
more copious than Greek and more exquisitely
refined than either." It has 8 conjugations and
8 declensions. It is the only language whose
characters as written match the pattern of
the syllables' sound vibration. Each syllable
of Sanskrit is said to be linked to a different star.

For with every glistening speck of wisdom,
That will shine upon the lapels of your bodice,
Adorning your gracious and bountiful bosom,
So too, will you carry the weight of it's worth,
For as we taste the nectar of life's tomorrows,
We will surely even the scales for our mirth.

“Gaze into faces,
get behind eyes.
From so many places,
fed so many lies.
All satiated,
starving for more.
Emaciated,
nauseating encore.
Imbalanced, heavy scales,
bearing unjust weight,
all who would reign must fail,
policy is bait.
Only one more swallow,
deep, filthy well.
Thirst always follows,
hunger’s dinner bell.
And, so we take the mark,
clones stamped in red;
sheep left in the dark,
bones, bleached and bled.
But, still I will rage
defying gravity;
incarcerated in this cage,
I choose to be free.
For I will not surrender,
I will not kneel,
to the Great Pretenders,
serving the next meal."
