BORN IDENTITY:


Who, what, why am I, from deep blue sea or yonder sky?

Am I from mud, Atlantis, or maybe from space up high?

A dizzying ride I took, far from the flesh-pursed womb,

Whizzing through this tunnel of life to the imminent tomb,

Who, what, why am I?

 

Who, what, why am I, man, woman, or maybe little child?

Am I running through childhood, feeling so free & so wild?

Passing swiftly through the playgrounds, colleges & schools,

Learning all the taught laws & ropes & obeying life´s taut rules,

Who, what, why am I?

 

Who, what, why am I, on earth to merely compete, lose or win?

From tunneled birth, garbed only in bone, flesh & satined skin,

Non- stop, ever Spinning, changing, morphing, what´s my stance?

From childhood days, flung down the aisle of whirlwind romance,

Who, what, why am I?

 

Who, what, why am I, between the frowns & erstwhile smiles?

Within darkened vortex of living & life´s long & fast spun miles,

Slowing down in time blown wrinkles, pleats & soft lined creases,

Asking still now, as the blood-spinning carousel slows & ceases,

Who, what, why am I?
