Master of Parables
if only i could believe in the 900,000 ministers of god
i could stand and talk with you each night
if only i could shed my disrespect for my elders
and sit without touching my husband
i could belong to your village
you absorbed the vedas by osmosis
your mind is free from the constraints of education
your understanding is vast
so is your compassion
if only i could believe in the truth
i could follow you
