We Are All At Fault Poem by Leonard Dabydeen

"Your beliefs become your thoughts,
Your thoughts become your words,
Your words become your actions,
Your actions become your habits,
Your habits become your values,
Your values become your destiny."
~Mahatma Gandhi
We are all at fault
you and I
and others too
in the canon of our trajectory
catapulting peace over perjury
harmony versus angst
no one cooks rice
without sifting it
always some undesirables
within complex webs
of our minds
where our karma revolts
or echoes involuntarily
in matrix of peace and sanctity
as we grapple with sinews
and seek bhakti
embellishing dharma
being this change we wish
for you and me
immersing melodic stotras
within gems of Bhagavad Gita.
