Again...I wrote this, when I met some village girls on my tour in India


Our Smiles

Since I was born, I have been carrying this load
The load of my knowledge
And the ties that bind me with the world together
I have always wanted to pull it down and smile like others
But destiny has disagreed,
So I will have to stand by the thrills of the world
And when the time comes to pull it down
I will do that with happiness
But I have always in my mind that
I came alone
I carry it alone
And I will die with it alone
