imperfect faith

i see the like-minded people
like jelly fish jamming jointly
confirming the ancient truth:
birds of the feather flock together

even a thin transcendent faith
fails to enable a going beyond
the race, language and culture
that blinds the common factor

that same blood flowing
in that multitude of variety
of humans with varied
caste, colour, and creed

Synchronicity

A synchronicity in the number plates
I see of the automobiles
On the road in a given spot and moment
This increases my curiosity filling heart
With amazement
And my mind with a mull over
In all this, my number
Two three six remain at the bottom
With my will to synchronize the dissimilar
To create a colourful harmony
And recognize that underlying unity
Beyond the apparent dissimilarity!
