How many times have you not
Anointed your mother
With your kidney’s waste?
Were you sensitive to it

Are you the carpenter bee not to
Feel the agony of honeyed flowers?
Are you not ravaging Nature, the giver?
Flourishing without feeling to be a receiver!
Don’t you shed a drop of your own blood
In compassion?
Don’t you owe commiseration
To your mother and Mother Earth
As your felicitation?
