[Of what use is this Number One
when One is a lonely number
without any friends, associates, family?

Of what use is this Black & White
when there is reality in grey
a reality touching heart, mind, body, soul?

Of what use is this worldly togetherness
when the poetry of life is aloneness
an aloneness, that is pure joy, bliss, meditation?

of what use is the scientist promising hope
when a poet shows you a way out of hopelessness
that can open your mind to total awareness?

Of what use are these world of colors
when a painter expertly mixes B & W with grey
creating amazing canvas of divine beauty & art?

Of what use is this confession before a priest
when sinner can redeem his life reading bible
where our Lord God has put his signature?

Of what use are these wars fought among nations
When a lyricist pens few peaceful lines of reconciliation
for a permanent durable peace amongst humanity?

Of what use is this live-in relationships
when joys of parenthood are calling us
for traditional rituals, ceremonies, parties, marriages?

Of what use are these winnings of a roulette
when there is sure winner in every merry-go-round
for an honest, sustained effort in labor, sweat?

Of what use are these best selling writers
when a single Shakespeare has sold the world
in meaningful poems, astounding plays, fascinating lyrics?]
