To constitute them—Gains—

Do not seek evil gains; evil gains are the equivalent of disaster.
It's coming—the postponeless Creature
390
It's coming—the postponeless Creature—
It gains the Block—and now—it gains the Door—
Chooses its latch, from all the other fastenings—
Enters—with a "You know Me—Sir"?
Simple Salute—and certain Recognition—
Bold—were it Enemy—Brief—were it friend—
Dresses each House in Crape, and Icicle—
And carries one—out of it—to God—

Wrongs no more wrongs
Wrongful gains are cheating
What are wrongful gains?
The ones beyond the norms framed.
As the norms’ boundary enlarges
The wrongs come under the norms.
The society deteriorates.

I Learned Through You
I learned through you,
That in faltering, being caught
By a steady hand
One is fastened, more fixed
To a personal goal.
In choosing to be corrected,
Deferring to superior intellect
One gains the wisdom
After one has learned the lesson.
In humility, consciously
Subordinating the ego
One gains sensitivity
To reception.
Then, in perfection, is
Creativity empowered
A spirit true and unique to itself
Declaring an internal and external
Presence of Peace and Love for always!

Lofty Ambitions
I do the best I can to avoid confrontation.
Especially in environments in which disrespect,
Has become a sport.
And people are entertained,
By slandering others.
As if to do so gains an appeal,
To the quality of life love by those...
Who thrive on aggitation.
Even answering one's telephone,
May put one on the defense.
Sometimes being cordial,
Welcomes a misunderstanding!
And wanting to exchange pleasantries...
Turns into someone being upset,
Because you wish not to spend your time...
Swimming with them,
Through pools of solicited gossip.
'What's wrong with you?
Why you so 'bland'? '
~I'm just spending a quiet time home alone,
Enjoying my peace and relaxing! ~
'Well, you just do that then!
Maybe next time,
I'll catch you in a better mood.'
I do the best I can to avoid confrontation.
Especially in environments in which disrespect,
Has become a sport.
And people are entertained,
By slandering others.
As if to do so gains an appeal,
To the quality of life love by those...
Who thrive on aggitation.
And all that is desired,
Is a mutual exchange that benefits...
An uplifting of consciousness.
Yes...
I've been accused of having lofty ambitions.

Time Of Life
Time of Life
Precious, endless, unstoppable, time.
Days turn to nights
Todays into yesterdays.
What is, was and what could be, is.
Take time to live your life in full
Take time to smell a flower
Take time to pick up a child
Take time to play
Take time to laugh, and sadly enough
Time to cry.
Your future will soon be your past
Your past just a memory.
So do not try to stop time
For you will only stop yourself
From living at your fullest
Take time to bundle up your losses
And
Turn them into gains
Without ever looking back at what was.
And be so grateful that you do have that time
…The time of life.

Modern man thinks he loses something time when he does not do things quickly. Yet he does not know what to do with the time he gains except kill it.

How much time he gains who does not look to see what his neighbor says or does or thinks, but only at what he does himself, to make it just and holy.

Of course, with the increasing number of aeroplanes one gains increased opportunities for shooting down one's enemies, but at the same time, the possibility of being shot down one's self increases.

Still I Don't Know
I'm Asking Here
I'm asking there
And we all seem to share
Different gains for life
Though We'll all arrive
At the big end somewhere
But we don't know whats more when its over
Is there heaven or hell?
[Chorus:]
I wonder if there's something when my time's
Run out in life
Still I don't know, Still I don't Know
Wonder if there's music, rubbersex
And a Mac Drive
Still I don't know, Still I don't know
All we know is here
What we lone and fear
Its a question of time
When all is said and done
When we're dead and gone
We'll just disappear
Yes We don't know whats more when its over
Is there heaven or hell?
[Chorus:]
I wonder if there's something
My Lifes run out of time
Still I don't know, Still I don't know
Wonder If there's smokers
Even in "Deutsche Bahn
Still I don't know, Still I don't know
Wonder if there's something
Like a cigarette or some wine
Wonder if I'm lonely
If i'll meet a friend of mine
[Chorus]
Still I don't know, Still I don't know.......

A Classical Thought
While the trees will give me the thoughts I need,
For the life of roses beneath the leaves,
There's a light for me and for everyone,
To repay the shadows of days and eves.
When the mind remembers the youth of life
And the countless seconds and hours and years,
There runs a stream from within our eyes-
Is a stream of ailing but shining tears.
The time of life begins and ends----
In an epic of thousands of pains and gains.
