Before all else, we seek, upon our common labor as a nation, the blessings of Almighty God.

Sonnet: All Countries Are Interdependent
Each country is dependent on the next;
This important axiom is forgotten;
If the rich control the poor on some pretext;
The next must work for you to you fatten!
Events are all ephemeral on earth;
No nation thrives by its own toil/effort;
That is a limit to a person’s girth;
You need the Maker’s blessings since your birth.
A nation’s problems are quite intricate;
Advantages are there with poverty;
The good, you must with labor imitate;
At any time can come adversity.
But remember, the brotherhood of men;
All earthlings are meant for both earth/Heaven.

How far this attitude
I don’t know how far this attitude can be correct?
But it definitely forces me to think over and positively act
You can cheat everybody but not your conscience
It will trouble you whenever you are feeling absence
Why at all do we need to go almighty and bow head?
Do we have no clear guidance for the simple life to lead?
Why all the times we resort to take refuge under falsehood?
We are utterly disgusting the name of our parenthood
We have lame excuse to offer ourselves for any of the mistake
We think almighty is very kind and will not mind for our being fake
We can visit once a while and excuse for all the sins
God will pardon us for all ills and never grin
Well, rightly said and observed too
There is definite weight behind and very true
Even without going to Him, we can have blessings
There is absolutely nothing wrong in our approach or missing
He is there to pardon us for each and everything
We should be prepared to let something
At least some part or fraction of entire things
You will be given enough of blessings
Love the sinner but lot the sin
The chances for change are very thin
Sinner can be persuaded to change
The tendency may remain so even if you win
It is common knowledge to ask for forgiveness
This is one sign of good quality of kindness
You have kind heart that fears from evil
All nice things may happen with you or are on anvil

Sonnet: The Pope’s (Benedict XVI) Visit to America,2008
Vicar of Jesus Christ on earth- The Pope
Comes to remind Americans about
Renewing faith in God, the only hope
To every nation, without any doubt.
Progress, peace, prosperity- are all things
Bestowed on people who believe in Christ,
Who is the truth, light, way to more blessings
That comes from Heaven (God) in the Highest.
No mighty nation stays always with pow’r,
Unless the people pray to God by heart;
No man is imperishable, a flow’r;
All human beings must one day depart.
God chooses leaders, kings as per His choice-
The victor listens to Almighty’s voice!

Of any nation
Loves not being German, American or of any nation
You are supposed to be champion for human
You owe certain things to common people
Even though you may be independent and capable
You can call it shining day
As you have found means and way
Yet it is almighty that you have been gifted
Out of millions you have been lifted
You own money, luxury villa or orchid
still you are His lovable child and need feed
you may be able to take decision
yet it may be directed by Him with precision
You are answerable to none
But has to be shared with someone
You be smart, well positioned or outspoken
Never stand for outrageous statement surely for to be mistaken
Love what you are and meant for?
Seek the justice and avert the scuffle or war
Someone has played a dominant role in your well being
Thank always as you have to play character role in ring

The tendency of taxation is to create a class of persons who do not labor, to take from those who do labor the produce of that labor, and to give it to those who do not labor.

I Confess
It is true.
I confess.
I have been spoiled.
And My Father,
The Almighty...
Knows this confession best.
When I feel I have a need,
And I please My Father...
With deeds I attempt,
And some not successfully...
My Father decides,
To then surprise.
It is true.
I confess.
I have been spoiled.
And My Father,
The Almighty...
Knows this confession best.
When I pray each day,
And express my gratefulness...
I don't take for granted,
Those blessings from My Father...
I know from Him I get.
When I find I struggle,
And I am wet with sweat...
I am comforted by My Father,
Who then allows...
My peace and rest.
It is true.
I confess.
I have been spoiled.
And My Father,
The Almighty...
Knows this confession best.
Before Him I place no 'thing' I value more.
Before My Father,
I profess a love for him that is adored.
My loyalty and devotion,
Is given without thought.
And My Father and I...
Tackle those obstacles,
He assists me to abort.
It is true.
I confess.
I have been spoiled.
And My Father,
The Almighty...
Knows this confession best.
And nothing do I have do I take for granted.
I know from 'WHOM' my gifts have come.
I know from 'WHOM' has 'allowed' this to be done!
It is true.
I confess.
I have been spoiled.
And My Father,
The Almighty...
Knows this confession best.

Capital is a result of labor, and is used by labor to assist it in further production. Labor is the active and initial force, and labor is therefore the employer of capital.

Strength of a nation
Strength of a nation
~
The strength of a nation
Driven by honour and pride
Will stand as one to the fight
Against the needless hate
Those that seek to destroy
Through envy and fear
Of what the nation stands for
They will not kill the spirit
Only strengthen its resolve
A nation open to all beliefs
Teaches equality to all
And through its own faults
Will learn and grow stronger
The free shall stand as one
The strength of the nation
Seeing through the adversity
Does not yield nor quit
But stands defiant
We stand as one

You Have Me Here to Raise My Voice
Thank You,
For the flowing of my blessings...
Dear Almighty!
I am neither rich,
Nor do I live in a ditch.
And I am grateful for this.
Because my life...
Without You there...
I could be tossed and turned.
Bearly existing anywhere.
And I,
Thank You,

I feel guilty
I feel guilty when enter the holy place
For asking favor with fake face
Bring pity on face and fold the hands
Close the eyes and wish with prayers
Nothing bad has taken place so far
Only some draw backs have taken place temporarily
I could face it in any case bravely
But there was hidden fear that bothered me intensely
"Go to Him with prayers" many friends used to advise
The result may come in your favor and sometimes surprise
Even though I am firm believer and worked for good deeds
The success was the only thing of an hour and required indeed
From deep feelings, it made me foolish
Why I needed to go for such thing and wish?
I could try honestly and then leave it to his mercy
He is aware of all that but did not labor hard as duty
It is always good to approach him and seek blessings
Sometimes you are guilty and feel punch with teasing
Yet that provides you some form of solace
As you expect respite from divine store in such cases
Person feels secure after having made an appeal
At least on that score it seems from all the angles very real
When we are thrust upon this world as special entity
We need all types of grace and helping hand from almighty
It is felt and realized that nothing comes on as success
If we are totally blind and care for no blessings or an access
His wish is supreme and helps till the end of the journey
We ask nothing more from his divinity
Think about your self as luckiest most if life is spent smoothly
We might not have been provided enough to last happily
That is biggest achievement if you feel internally as contentment
Life as such is illusion and hence there is no room for discontentment

You Are 'Bestowed' the Blessings
Remember this...
To you are bestowed the blessings.
Gifts given to which through you flow.
Those blessings are for you to share.
Your presence 'is' a blessing.
However...
Your wish to be worshipped,
As if you are The Creator...
Of the light that glows.
Is not the way it works.
Or the way it goes.
To you are 'bestowed' the blessings.
The Creator provides,
Those blessings to be bestowed.
The Creator,
Provides...
Those blessings,
To be bestowed.
Remember this...
You are 'bestowed' the blessings.
To assist.
Not create to provide.
Many get this twisted.
To stir up for themselves,
Endless conflict.

Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.

I Against I
(bad brains)
Originally performed by the bad brains. jeff performed it live on air at kcrws man in the moon, on january 1994.
In the quest for the test to fulfill an achievement, everybodys only in it for themselves.
But the fact of the matter is they dont care to extend a helping hand to anyone else.
So tell me why you had to lie and trie to make me all confused about the u.s.a.,
When the fact of the matter is you just dont care to comprehend or understand a single word I say.
I dont want to have I go against i...
Oh let me tell you
And its the same old story no factual glory
I against I against I against i.
And I say I dont like it and I know I dont want it
I against iagainst I against i.
Almighty watching almighty watching
I against I against I against I against i.
And I say I dont like it
And I know I dont want it
I against I against I against i.
I said who is gonna tell the youth the truth about the drugs, mugs, bugs, and the police thugs
About the rotten stinkin rackets and the fantasies around the nation, around the nations
Oh baby what you gonna do I tell you the truth is looking straight at you...
I got a brass continental, a 300-z, two color t.v.s. now video too.
I got a rest home in jamaica for my fantasy for my family.
Around the nation. around the nation. what you gonna do?

Nature's blessings Spring
Nature's blessings called Spring
Nature's blessings
Cherry trees in bloom
Cascades of colours
Floating into my room
Nature's blessings
Eruption of new life
Everywhere around
It's the eternal bound
Nature's blessings
Spring's awakening
Fills one with new hopes
Melting away sorrow slopes
Nature's blessings
Shy scarce sunbeams
Sense of survival
Swallow's arrival
Nature's blessings
Flowers popping up
It's time to hold on
For young and old
Nature's blessings
Cycle of every year
Winter months we bear
Now earthly warming
Nature's blessings
Worth all the gold
Nature's natural gift
To life we all hold
Nature's blessings called Spring

The Almighty Sea
The almighty sea reigns higher than them all.
The almighty sea will always stand tall.
The almighty sea will be your fall.
The almighty sea reigns higher than them all.
The sea is responsible for many a death,
Drowning the victim for its every breath.
Engulfing the bodies, in its wave,
Sending their souls to the grave.
The sea is a murderer killing by the millions.
Everyday people, normal civilians,
Are taken away by the monstrous surges.
And out of the ocean, a corpse emerges.
The sea is can kill in a matter of hours,
With the sheer extent of the waves’ powers.
Surely nothing can stop the water in its path,
Immersing the world in its wrath.
The almighty sea reigns higher than them all.
The almighty sea will always stand tall.
The almighty sea will be your fall.
The almighty sea reigns higher than them all.
Labor Day is devoted to no man, living or dead, to no sect, race or nation.

Take Time Off To Relax! !
Behind each and every human,
Who has to work dusk to dawn,
Dawn to dusk or dawn to dawn,
There are few mouths at home,
Hopefully waiting for them,
To keep the food on the table,
to provide cloth and shelter,
to educate and medicate,
to love, care and cherish,
Most labor goes for love,
Love that we have,
Upon our loved ones,
our friends, society,
and our dear nation,
That energizes us,
To work tirelessly.
Happy Labor's day! !
