Sea And Sky
Sea - so fertile with life aplenty
Sky - so sterile with no life to replenish
Sea, oft turbulent with virulent waves
And sky, mostly tranquil with sailing clouds
Sky lets no bounds
Sea, bound within bounds
Sea hides mysteries beneath
And sky displays them atop.
But sea and sky together beget life on Earth.

Earth Hour
by leaps and bounds
the world has progressed
since the industrial revolution
men's life expectancy
has increased so many years
by leaps and bounds too
we seem to be heading
towards a crash between
our own survival and
that of mother earth
earth hour - giving ourselves
and earth - a break
even in this darkness,
earth cools down to lift us
up in a warm efferverscent cheer
we cant help but shed tears
for what we had done to mother earth
and vow to light the coming years
in the darkness of our rooms

No bounds
As charity knows no bounds
It has never remained out of bounds
It is open domain for all to contribute
The happiness can be seen even by remaining mute
The needy may helplessly look at the sky
The answer may be found if we try
Surrender to thee and never feel shy
All in earnestness without telling lie
The help may pour in from all sides
It may remain unknown if we really confide
Someone may reach to you in openness
But generally it is extended with frankness
It is inner conscious call
That prevents us from further call
As mother aptly proved
Even God is favorable moved
Holy among holy is selfless service
No one can assure and extend the promises
Yet it is noble soul that always keeps in mind
Where else on this God's earth such an opportunity we find

All The Boys Love Carrie
All the boys love carrie
But carrie doesnt love the boys
She drinks and she talks
She takes cigarettes from strangers
Anything else shes an x-rated baby
Out of bounds
All the boys love carrie!
They watch her over cider and whiskey
Take her outside, show her their cars, invite her thru to the cocktail bar
But carries shy, she dont talk much
She keeps her secrets locked inside
Out of bounds
I saw her today in her green coat
I know shes going... uptown downtown!
Shes gotta run cause its getting late
What can she do when her world blows open in her face?
All the boys love carrie but
Carrie doesnt love the boys

Can't Get You Off My Mind
Life is just a lonely highway
I'm out here on the open road
I'm old enough to see behind me
But young enough to feel my soul
I don't wanna lose you baby
And I don't wanna be alone
Don't wanna live my days without you
But for now I've got to be without you
I've got a pocket full of money
And pocket full of keys that have no bounds
But then I think of lovin'
And I just can't get you off of my mind
Babe can't you see
That this is killing me
I don't want to push you baby
And I don't want you to be told
It's just that I can't breathe without you
Feel like I'm gonna lose control
I've got a pocket full of money oh yes I do
And a pocket full of keys that have no bounds
But when it comes to lovin'
I just can't get you off of my mind

Two Solitudes
I saw the longing in your eyes
But I failed to see the anguish
You so cleverly disguised
Your needs I clearly read
But I never knew your true intentions
They were better left unsaid
I brushed our tears aside
Thought I could wipe away the memory
But couldnt push that far inside
You came so full of regrets
Your body still remembers
What your mind learnt to forget
Love is lost Ive found
When trust breaks down
Now we meet those two imposters just the same
Always out of bounds
When love comes round
Dont even have the strength to share the blame
We ride the train of events
We never make our destination
Never making any sense
You say you leave without regret
But your body will remember
What your mind learns to forget
One love. two solitudes
Theres no common ground
When trust breaks down
Thought everybodys love is in the air
Always out of bounds
When love comes down
Too scared to climb the wall of our despair
Love is lust Ive found
When trust breaks down
Now we meet those two imposters just the same
Always out of bounds
When love comes round
Dont even have the strength to share the blame
And the said thing is
Theres no end to this
Your tears are like the rain that beats the rain
And I wake at dawn
To find you gone
Dont even have strength to call you name
Repeat chorus 2
Repeat corus 1

One look around us ought to show that all our arbitrary measures and bounds have been clamped on us by mankind.
LX. Life compared to a Walk
As the shoe's made to serve and fit the foot,
As the leg gives the measure to the boot;
So our possessions should be measur'd by
The body's use, and its necessity.
If here you stop, content with what you need,
With what will keep you warm, your body feed;
Within the bounds of temperance you live.
But if the reins you to your wishes give;
If nature's limits you but once transgress,
You tumble headlong down a precipice
Into a boundless gulph: this we may see
If we pursue our former simile:
For lets suppose your shoe made tight and fit,
Strong, warm, and easy, as 'tis requisite,
What more can be desired from a shoe?
'Tis all that hide, or thread, and wax can do.
But if you look for more, you're hurry'd on
Beyond your bounds, and then 'tis ten to one,
That it must be more modish, pink'd, and wrought,
Then set with pearls, from farthest Indies brought,
Then with embroidery and purple shine;
No matter if 'tis useless, so 'tis fine.
So there's no farther stay, no farther bound
By those, who exceed just measures, to be found.

If one oversteps the bounds of moderation, the greatest pleasures cease to please.
Being a good teammate is when you try to sprint down a ball that everyone thinks is going out of bounds. But you go after it anyways and you get it.
The function of vice is to keep virtue within reasonable bounds.

Stifling Bounds
STIFLING BOUNDS
Making tight stifling bounds around
With steep trenches and spiky fences
Of nations, notions and nasty nuances
With narrow minds and wary miens
Brewing envy, rancor and malevolence
Prefers to live parochial human race
Like rotting eggs and stagnant waters
With vision, reason and acumen
Raised his ken above the acme of heaven
Yet his social dogtrot remains
Wandering in the dirty bigoted warrens
Within stinking and shocking confines
Of caste, creed, color and religion
Can one explain? Hey you Mr. Darwin
Why hundreds of wise men, for eons
Bleeding their molten ichors of brain
Could not bring in true evolution
Mutating the contentious caveman
Into a conscientious humane human
