A religion is born from a language, And grows amongst the people who speak it, Taking the people’s costume and customs As its own and with it, it migrates. Converts embrace more the costume and rites Than the faith to show their solidarity. Commune with the God is the language Original not understood  by the mass. The languages major religions were born in Are dead and kept, like mummy, for prayer. 26.06.2017

Sexy advertisement catches The readers’ attention faster But fails to translate it to sale Of goods that are advertised. Devotional songs engage The people’s interests deeper But fail to translate it to change Of hearts for which they have been meant. Waste of time, waste of money. 26.06.2017

When you bought your wife costumes and jewels, You’ve made up your mind for the visual rape. When you bought her schooling and employment You’ve made up your mind for flirts with colleagues.

For a woman to become a harlot, Her mother must have been precedence Or penury condition must be the cause Or she must be the victim of coercion.   I had been forced into prostitution By my father’s enemy as a revenge, When he abducted me in my teens And sold me to a brothel house for a sum. I knew my home I had been brought from. It could be no task to flee the whore house And trace out the path to reach my parents. But it was not before I was outraged. Whether they would get me as their daughter When I have been robbed of my modesty Did not obsess me more than did the thought That they should not know that I was abused. Decades have passed; I am a courtesan. I have grown up in arts, dance and poetry. I’ve kept lords with my skills rather than looks. I am at ease my parents must be no more. 22.06.2016

All the factors may not be available To take into consideration. Which factor must assume what importance Is anybody’s guess, with no guidelines drawn.
