Banaras (Free verse) by Reuben Spiteri
Thank you Banaras What have you done? Creating this scene for me Like a beloved son Thank you Mother Ganja For welcoming me again From all this suffering Let me share some pain Thank you Varanasi For showing me the way O'Holy City To you I turn and Pray I thank myself As What I see Is noting more Than a reflection of me If only I could break free...

Up the ladder: america's promise
Down the ladder: My Life
