Forgotten Fertility Myth

Pranab k c
27/06/2011

a deep depression
carries monsoon again
its raining
five days at a stretch
day and night
she is wet

her chastity
waiting to be ploughed
soil so soft
to be mould in creation

plough hard
my peasant friend
pour dropp to form seed

your personal rain
would make her corny
every dream
of your personal cloud
would make her smile festive
fertile soil seeks seedling

cultivate you the peasant
cultivate hard
cultivate with care
cultivate with unending passion
She waits to bear all the pain
for a pleasure of exposing a life again

Therefore I feel that the aforementioned guiding principle must be modified to read: If you desire peace, cultivate justice, but at the same time cultivate the fields to produce more bread; otherwise there will be no peace.

Time To Belittle

What is so funny?

'How small minds gather with other small minds,
To then associate with more smaller minds...
Who all find the time to belittle.'

In height?
Or in thought process?
Which one?
Why are you staring at me?

'Jokes are not suppose to be analyzed.
That's why they are called jokes.'

Oh!
I get it 'now'.
Not to 'belittle'.
But to be 'little'.

'Forget it.
Just forget it.'

Don't be made at me.
You could have kept that one to yourself.
I would have used 'disparaged' instead, anyway.

'Father...?
Why is it 'me'? '

Stop looking up in the sky.
That answer is not there.
Trust me.

Soul Experience

Be yourself and live a little,
Dont bother painting your face;
Tomorrow it may rain and colors run,
Better it quench the flowers thirst.
Dont be afraid to live a little,
Dont be afraid of the people that belittle our love,
Oh our love.
Open up your thoughts and listen to others,
Your fellow man may surprise you;
He offers a unique item,
Soul experience, help yourselves to each other.
Dont be afraid to live a little,
Dont be afraid of the people that belittle our love,
Oh our love.
Just be yourself.
Just be yourself.
Oh our love, oh our love.

Death By Gossip

It is amazing.
They have never spoken
To the people they slander.
They don't even know them...
Or have sat to chat in discussion.
Some are related.
Although that means very little.
They weren't raised to build one another up.
They were encouraged to belittle.
And damage their own!
This has been known and shown.
These childish minds have never grown.
They are left alone.
Death by gossip and munching on ignorance.
Peering over fences.
And using lack of knowledge to offend,
As a defense.
Death by gossip,
And buried in jealousies.
This has been implanted...
To ensure this breeding would within them live,
And breathe.
They were encouraged to belittle.
And damage their own!
This has been known and shown.
These childish minds have never grown.
They are left alone.
With no input to keep a survival thriving!
Slowly dieing on lies.
Since this has been inflicted with ambition.

Belittling Is On The List

Inappropriate business...
Conducted to disrupt in destructive ways,
Maybe thought to be fun...
For those beginning conflicts done.

Arguments and tantrums do not end.
And the ones igniting them,
Do it...
To offend.

Belittling is at the top of their list.
Belitting others they can't resist.
Belitting is treated as if a gift.
Belittling to do is their wish.

There are people who live to breathe,
To belittle others into fits.
There are people who love to leave...
Others belittled then split.

They did it to try and belittle me, to try and to take away my pride. But I went through the whole system with them. And at the end, I - I wanted the public to know that I was okay, even though I was hurting.

Don't belittle someone

Even if you do it for fun,
Don't belittle someone,
It hurts him;

If you happen
To know the virtue of someone,
Even if he is your enemy,
You behave nicely with no enmity.

Walk Tall

Walk tall
For people
Who
Look down
Upon you.

Don't
Belittle
Them.

But don't
Make yourself
Look small.

The Pride Of Men

Field works dimly camouflage attrition
These pomegranate hands who cultivate
Trenches of dusk squeal to those lesser seen

In Labyrinths of detachment
We feed upon this which but only grows
These pomegranate hands who cultivate

Our strength is swoon but stars do also rise
From our hands we pass on to daybreaks next
We feed upon this which but only grows

Our march is marsh, to scavenge the land
And when demised the green for moments
From our hands we pass on to daybreaks next

And in that moment of such starry watch
Thus bares the seeds to that of all we strive
Though strength still meek through stripe of strife
We stature ourselves upon what we heap

Don't lose gratitude.

You get importance when someone seeks you.
If you show him air and belittle him
You embitter him and he values you cheap.
Your helps won't earn you any gratitude.

What The Rat Said To The Lion

hey lion
do not belittle me
someday
there is no one to save you
but me,
says the rat

hey lion
do not underestimate my power
of destruction
my wisdom of retaliation
for i am rat.
