Voltaire

It is one of the superstitions of the human mind to have imagined that virginity could be a virtue.

Imagined

Imagined the world described as heaven
Imagined the world all is even
Imagined everywhere without evil
Imagined the absence of soldier only civil

Imagined a quest between good nature existence
Imagined people, place and body with no cause for defence
Imagined air, love, soul and all virtues show their face
Imagined the extinction of all the different race

Imagined we always praise him who live above
Imagined nature ruffs all calm like pure dove
Imagined that you are not imagining
But all this is happening

Virginity

It is said that you can only be a virgin once
I am not so sure.

For virginity may be more than physical
and may have to be measured
in emotional purity.

You can make a mistake
and squander that first time
with the wrong person
but does that mean that
virginity once squandered is lost forever?

I don't think so.

How many of us even
remember IT,
so tense that first-time experience?

Rather, I think
It like most things in life
relies on practice
to get it right.

Rather, I think that virginity can't be lost
on mere amateurs
who had no idea
of its' importance.

Rather, it depends on my frame of mind.

My virginity was not lost;
IT can only be given
and after several times
and after several mistakes
it is bestowed upon the one
I really loved.
and you know
I now know
the difference
because virginity
isn't given away
unless it releases
in the act
purity and true love.

Not a Magician

Give me back my virginity.
I've changed my mind,
I want it back!
You are no soul mate to me.
You tricked me into giving it up.
And I thought forever we would be.
But as soon as we were through...
You told me you had others to do!
That's nasty.
Give me back my virginity.
I want to search for someone else,
My virginity will please.
Someone who's not so quick...
To strip and get it over with.
Someone who likes it fresh.
And tells me I'm the best.
Someone who moans and sighs,
When in between my...

'Mrs. Brown?
MRS. BROWN! ? '

Yes?
Oh...
Yes, Doctor Smith.

'I can help you stop smoking if you wish.
It seems as though you have regressed.
Your issues with sex,
Must be discussed at other scheduled sessions! '

EXCUSE ME?

'I am a hypnotist, Mrs. Brown.
Not a magician!
I don't have those kinds of powers!
Not at these hourly rates! '

Buddha

Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.

Woman is liberated

Marriage is no longer a must.
Chastity is no more a virtue.
Virginity is not to be a purity.
Infidelity is not held as cheat.
Having sex is like a friendship.
Man must reconcile to it
Else he is in jeopardy

When we think of the ideal, we do not add virtue to virtue, but think of Jesus Christ, so that the standard of human life is no longer a code, but a character.

The virtue is compared with milk

Colors of the cows vary,
The variety of the breeds vary,
But the color of the milk
does never vary,
It is always pure and white!

Similarly,

The quality for a human being
is the virtue he gains in his life time
through good deeds;

('The virtue is compared with milk')

The paths for attaining virtue
may be many genuine ways!

None speak of the bravery, the might, or the intellect of Jesus; but the devil is always imagined as a being of acute intellect, political cunning, and the fiercest courage. These universal and instinctive tendencies of the human mind reveal much.

Look Around

We are idle strangers
Married to our dangers
Into space we go to change our ways
Flying to our heavens
We are all together
Into hell we chase the light of day
Look around and youll see
Ruins of the human history
Look around and youll see
Time is only floating in your mind
You will find
Searching for time
Empty is your mind
We are charmed by living
Dazzled into giving
All the waste we plan to ignore
Coldness is the virtue
Measured by the untrue
Love is used for something but what for?
Look around and youll see
Ruins of the human history
Look around and youll see
Time is only floating in your mind
You will find
Searching for time
Empty is your mind
Look around

We turn into beasts

Sex has shed its inhibition.
Women are fully liberated.
Words such as paramour, bastard
And the promiscuous lost their stigma.

Virginity lost its sanctity.
Fidelity is no more a virtue.
Marriage is not mandatory.
Living together is legalized.

Man and woman will die as beasts

Transcending Blindness

Warp of human deed
Like the descent of dirt
To the confinement of space of her eye sockets
Transmutes her virginity
To rupture the meat of her curtains
To rape her pristine soul, uproot all virtue
For the blind to awaken from her beauty sleep
An innate blindness healed by age's miraculous interventions
As a bleak truth is ingrained to the fiber of her existence
That perpetual being soars in darkness
In the trappings of mortality, in Eve's constant shadow
As grains of vulnerability were once sowed
Perpetuating to consciences meek, the legacy of Adam's seed
Saddling us with the dirt befouling mother earth
The requiem of a lost divinity

Virgin Ladies

Cry, laugh or sleep for the days ahead;
For it is better to limit your problems than to create more around,
But hold on to your virginity like Virginia State in the U.S.A.
This subject will arose your anxiety,
But don't be deceived to the facts on the ground;
Because we know the problems associated with promiscous sex.
Vibe of a groovy shade,
And like the dead end of life to many!
But what eluded the cat also eluded the mouse,
And the virgin ladies are like us with human comprehensions.
Cry, laugh or sleep for thge days ahead;
And why break up your virginity when you are too young to carry a baby?
For it better to marry than to burn up in promiscous sex!
And this is not like the panoply but of the reality of life as seen around.

Ch 05 On Love And Youth Story 05

A schoolboy was so perfectly beautiful and sweet-voiced that the teacher, in accordance with human nature, conceived such an affection towards him that’ he often recited the following verses:

I am not so little occupied with thee, O heavenly face,
That remembrance of myself occurs to my mind.
From thy sight I am unable to withdraw my eyes
Although when I am opposite I may see that an arrow comes.

Once the boy said to him: ‘As thou strivest to direct my studies, direct also my behaviour. If thou perceivest anything reprovable in my conduct, although it may seem approvable to me, inform me thereof that I may endeavour to change it.’ He replied: ‘O boy, make that request to someone else because the eyes with which I look upon thee behold nothing but virtues.’

The ill-wishing eye, be it torn out
Sees only defects in his virtue.
But if thou possessest one virtue and seventy faults
A friend sees nothing except that virtue.

Concepts Of God Differ

across the entire earth
across all earth oceans
sky sun moon are one
God creator of life is one

God is one
but human cultures
concepts
of understanding

are many
civilizations
differing across
distance time

concepts
of God differ within
each unique
individual human heart

snow flakes
each heart
mind identifies
appreciates

God or not
through filters
love virtue
or echo dross

life defining
measured weight
of each human
heart's soul estate
