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!

He who keeps his old clothes, gains new ones too.
He gains everyone's approval who mixes the pleasant with the useful.
He that loses is merchant as well as he that gains.
By going gains the mill, and not by standing still.
He who makes too much haste gains his end later.
