Usha Pisharody - Faux Pas

The river flows wantonly

The green is
Luscious
On the other side..

I feel suspended in
Indecision-
Do I take the plunge?

On Judgement Day,
If the scales tip against me,
I can only ask -

'Why did You make temptation so strong?
You made me - and You knew
I was only human.'



13 April, '83
