pilgrim in pilgrimage

this morning i pledged

in the presence of Canadian geese

i, like their kind, would be at ease

to fly back and forth

to remain a pilgrim in pilgrimage

without securing my location

and i would enjoy the moment

always beating the winter

cold and dark and let it never

dictate, or control my soul

expecting, always, great moments

and attempt to do greater doings

buying and selling

unlike those days in my motherland, today
in my adopted-land despite its abundance
rarely i find one to give, or to receive
but in plenty are those that sell, or for buying

what cannot be sold is dumped

for elimination with those incapable
to buy, and those who lobby giving
too, will be pushed to the margin

to be marginalized, to be maligned

and silenced like a sheep ready for shearing
in a world taking from, and taking ruthlessly,
acceptable, than sharing with the needy
