Raja's Insight 
An old Chinese woman
Stands in a field
On the lunatic edge of town
Where drinkers gather to drink
And woman of ill repute
Play their games
With the passing drunks
Men ready for a night of passion
She is holding a tea pot
And proclaims
That the pot contains
A genie
That will grant the new owner
Three wishes
She had to sell the pot
Because her wishes came true
And she smiles
And laughs insanely
The laughter dies
And she implores people
To buy her tea pot
And put her out of misery
Just buy my pot
And your dreams will come true
Be careful dear thought
Remember all magic
Comes with a price
A terrible price

I no longer hear daffodils
swaying in the field.
No longer hear them whisper harmonies
upon my blissful slumber.
No petals on the midnight breeze,
the scent to sooth my quake.
A cool caress of clementine,
honey for my embrace.
The faceless one has arisen,
burnished all in bronze.
Encircled in plumes of tar,
consumption in its wake.
A lone constitution stands
Guardian of the spark,
that rises from upturned palm
a spectre in oxford blue.
My essence has deviated,
adrift in folds of mist.
Primed for its revival
upon the palm of my constitution!
