Wisdom
Let's go to the green steps of the lawn
And do the sums of life there sitting down
If we want only profits and no losses
And all the losses turn into profits
And all the profits turn into losses
Then the scale of life, of course, dis-balances
This leads us not in paradises but, of course, in hells.
It seems to be small whatever things we gained
It seems to be big whatever things we lost
If all the lost things are gained
And all the gained things are lost
Then life is not, at a gain but definitely at a loss.
If the profits are the blissful graces
Then the losses are not less than the spices
Whatever we do on the steps sitting
All these are not sums but a bargaining
This Leads us nowhere but to do mistakes
In this we never do profits but always do losses.

With a record of 75 fights and 6 losses, some of the losses were very questionable including Brian Nielsen when we fought in Denmark. I knew I won but they didn't give me that fight.

win some lose some BABE
win some lose some
that is life
who said that i can have all
the candy bars in the store?

who said that i can be all

i have the power of choice
the free will
and so
let me tell you
i will celebrate on my winnings
i will forget all my losses.
a toast to my success.
a silence to my losses.

We cannot but feel uneasy about the losses caused by humanity themselves. Apart from the losses of life and property in destructive wars, the environment and natural resources are also being destroyed by human hands.

The insurance companies aren't covering that. Should Monsanto be liable for these losses? Should the state government? Who's going to cover the losses? The fact is, here's an industry with no long-term liability in place.

The definition of winning has become distorted. If winning the rights to a property brings with it hundreds of millions of dollars in losses, what have you won? When faced with the prospect of heavy financial losses, we have consistently walked away and have done so again.

I Lost The Poem In Its Complexity
I lost the poem in its complexity
There was too much of it-
And in too great disorder
The purity of its feeling lost
In my changes of mood-
I lost the poem
And could not make it right-
And regretted losing
What I wanted to say in it.
I lost the poem,
A minor loss
There are and will be other poems-
Life has far greater losses than a poem-
A poem can be replaced by other poems,
Greater losses have no replacement at all.

Better make profit out of manure than losses with musk.
We Two Together...
i do not wish to change you
when we met, we already have minds of our own,
i can only love you,
&
it is a love that is so strong, and it can change the course of your river
i can only care for you,
and it is so cautious and gentle that it can make you rethink and perhaps change the way you look at things and events,
i can only kiss you and hug you and make love with you
and it is so intense and intimate that it can make you forget who you were once
and can make you know that in this place of earth
we two have become one
our eyes now looking towards the same direction....

There are many talented people who haven't fulfilled their dreams because they over thought it, or they were too cautious, and were unwilling to make the leap of faith.

The Creator has not thought proper to mark those in the forehead who are of stuff to make good generals. We are first, therefore, to seek them blindfold, and then let them learn the trade at the expense of great losses.

First of all, in terms of investment in Internet-related developments, venture capitalists - once burned - are now very cautious and are investing in areas that actually make business sense.

A Poem of Rhymes
I must take care about the food I take;
I must avoid the smoke whenev’r I bake;
I must avoid dust rising when I rake!
I must be cautious of the wealth I make;
I better count the calories in cake;
I better note the genuine from the fake;
A river-water tastes better than lake;
Make sacrifices I must, for God’s sake
And pray to keep my soul with grace, awake!

An Easter Song
a chess to be played
victories and losses
to be taken
like gentlemen
the game is his
an ultimate plan
to make us gentlemen
of the best kinds
like how he gives
himself to us
on the Cross
a pain, a loss,
an eternal joy
a perfect gentleman

Known to all
Had that been known to all?
We could have taken it as different call
We would have acted unwise and felt secured
With slight setback we would have felt it as tortured
It is not mystery or unknown fact
We have to respond and responsibly act
As poet you can catch the imaginations well
You have to make it romantic and suitably tell
Nature shows it to us in real sense
It has change color, mood and will not keep you tense
With each change you will find some visible improvement
You may be failed to resist temptation for passing the comment
Does the rainy night not threaten us with fear?
Does the black clouds not bring message with tears?
Some where inundation with colossal losses
And somewhere full joy for ending dry spell with new water deposits
It is better that we are kept in dark
No one knows the danger of sudden spark?
Had that been known to ordinary man?
No tragedy may occur and all may go well with plan
We got to accept the divine power
It may starve and at the same time bless with shower
We need to adjust as per natural law
Even though it may be erratic sometimes and have many flaws
We have taken it as something good to happen
The losses might have been more even then
It is not taken as curse but as simple fate
It may come sometimes early and sometimes very late

Not Even Jail
Oh but all this to learn and your hair's so pretty
I'll say it now
And girl you shake it right
We will free love to the beats of science
I will bounce you on the lap of silence
But girl you shake it right
Betraying all the symptoms
And erring on the side of caution
And wait to watch the fire
We tremble like anyones children
We marshal in the days of longing
Not even jail
To your end
Give some meanings to the means
Remember take hold of your time here
Such a cautious display
I'm subtle like a lion's cage
It travels south with disuse
When personality is scar tissue
Cause I want it now
Oh I'll say it now
Say it now
I'll say it now
I'll say it now
If things come alive
Either physical or otherwise
I promise to commit no acts of violence
If things come alive
Yeah, I will start painting houses
I'll subtract pain by ounces
If things come alive
I'll lay down in houses
I'll lay down my glasses
Can't you feel all the warmth of my sincerity
You make motion when you cry
You're making peoples lives feel less private
Don't take time away
You make motion when you cry
We all hold hands
Can we all hold hands
When we make new friends
I pretend like no one else
To try to control myself
I'm subtle like a lion's cage
Such a cautious display
Remember take hold of your time here
Give some meanings to the means
To your end
Not even jail

Cautious
The white wolf wasn't all too keen
To challenge anyone.
He heard a noise, his heart turned mean,
Beneath the fading sun...
When cautious instincts made him wait,
His eyes scanned high and low.
In seconds, he would learn his fate...
To stay here or to go...
The lone wolf listened for some clues
Of movement left or right.
Another noise was more bad news...
Yet he was born to fight!
The minutes melted silently...
Yet nothing more was heard...
Now drained of curiosity,
He took a chance and stirred.
With leaps and bounds, he crossed the plains,
Escaping dangers there.
The cautious white wolf broke the chains
That he was forced to bear.
The path ahead was open wide
And so new life begins...
New confidence helped him decide,
Throw caution to the winds...
His heartbeat calmed beside the stream...
He drank his fill... time passed...
In time, this day would seem a dream...
For now, he slept... at last...
The poem is based on the magnificent painting
by Stephen Gayford called 'Cautious'.

Was all this bloodshed and deceit - from Columbus to Cortes, Pizarro the Puritans - a necessity for the human race to progress from savagery to civilization? Was Morison right in burying the story of genocide inside a more important story of human progress? Perhaps a persuasive argument can be made - as it was made by Stalin when he killed pesants for industrial progress in the Soviet Union, as it was made by Churchill explaining the bombings of Dresden and Hamburg, and Truman explaining Hiroshima. But how can the judgement be made if the benefits and losses cannot be balanced because the losses are either unmentioned or mentioned quickly?

Am Sorry
I'm sorry that I hurt you
I'm sorry that I care
I'm sorry that I want to
No matter what be there.
I'm sorry for not being perfect,
I'm sorry that I'm a disappointment,
I'm sorry I'm not always honest.
I'm sorry that you hate me
I'm sorry that I lied
I'm sorry that you now see
How much that I have cried.
I'm sorry I'm not good enough,
I'm sorry I let you down,
I'm sorry for my tears,
And I'm sorry for my fears.
I'm sorry that I'm human,
And I'm sorry that I care,
I'm sorry for not making you laugh.
I'm sorry for being hardheaded
I'm sorry for never listening
I'm sorry that I'm like her, I’m trying very hard to change it.
I'm sorry for being protective,
And I'm sorry for being cautious.
I'm sorry for forgetting things, and asking stupid questions.
I'm sorry that I dropped out of school,
And I'm sorry I'm not smart.
I'm sorry that I make you say “were done, it’s to hard”
I'm sorry that I never cheated while we were apart,
I'm sorry that I live for you and could never live without
I'm sorry for the mistakes I made, and that they broke your heart.
I'm sorry and I would be glad to do all that I can.
I want to make you love me
like you did once before
I want to make your heart see
what mine is living for

WHO has gone farthest? For lo! have not I gone farther?
And who has been just? For I would be the most just person of the
earth;
And who most cautious? For I would be more cautious;
And who has been happiest? O I think it is I! I think no one was ever
happier than I;
And who has lavish'd all? For I lavish constantly the best I have;
And who has been firmest? For I would be firmer;
And who proudest? For I think I have reason to be the proudest son
alive--for I am the son of the brawny and tall-topt city;
And who has been bold and true? For I would be the boldest and truest
being of the universe;
And who benevolent? For I would show more benevolence than all the
rest;
And who has projected beautiful words through the longest time? Have
I not outvied him? have I not said the words that shall stretch
through longer time? 10
And who has receiv'd the love of the most friends? For I know what it
is to receive the passionate love of many friends;
And who possesses a perfect and enamour'd body? For I do not believe
any one possesses a more perfect or enamour'd body than mine;
And who thinks the amplest thoughts? For I will surround those
thoughts;
And who has made hymns fit for the earth? For I am mad with devouring
extasy to make joyous hymns for the whole earth!
