Samanyan Lakshminarayanan - # a question or two

am not going to see you
till my eyes shut at last
am not going to embrace you
till my arms fall flat
am not going to hear you
till a total deaf i become

A PERSON MAY BE YOU ARE NOT

i only hope i don't leave with
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
a + or a - or a 0 or whatever
i only want to know one small thing
why was i born?
whom do i ask?

Samanyan Lakshminarayanan
