Temperance
How this mind be done with..
Do means don't, don't means do
Dictature on its own extremes
Alike the ocean-tide high and low
Never moderate in steady show
'So let go'enjoins the 'shastra'
To a festival fete
'So let go' enjoins the 'shastra'
To a fasting abstinance even
'So let go' enjoins the 'shastra'
On a spree to talkative rocking
'So let go' enjoins the 'shastra'
To vow of silence even
Done the mind extremist in balance
Done with extremes attributed Lordly
'So let go' enjoins the 'shastra'
To meditate atlast on 'aham brahmasmi'
What wrong you being temperate this way
Beware, beware..

The promise given was a necessity of the past: the word broken is a necessity of the present.

It is necessary to posit something which is necessary of itself, and has no cause of its necessity outside of itself but is the cause of necessity in other things. And all people call this thing God.

Necessity is blind until it becomes conscious. Freedom is the consciousness of necessity.
Man cannot be free if he does not know that he is subject to necessity, because his freedom is always won in his never wholly successful attempts to liberate himself from necessity.

To Pee and Review
On the surface,
We are close!
Friends mostly,
Out of necessity!
And for years...
It has been like this.
Our different points of views were missed!
Adrift in the air somewhere!
Caring...
Out of necessity.
Sharing...
Out of necessity.
Nudging each other to prejudge another!
Out of necessity!
And today our depths of thought,
Are on levels distant from seeing eye to eye.
Remember when we tried that...?
And I made you cry because 'you' asked for honesty?
And I didn't lie,
I was always me!
Believing we had each other's back!
And when you did that,
I was caught off track.
In fact...
I knew then we were in separate 'stations'
Traveling in the same direction,
But on different schedules!
Somehow...
We didn't allow each other a 'pitstop'!
To check things out!
'To pee and review'!
Getting real with our findings.
To return to discuss them with each other!
'Can we do that now? '
Where should we start?
We can either begin this ride together...again!
But this time,
Let's not take the scenic route!
That way didn't do anything for either one of us!
A memorable 'trip' requires the kind of adventure,
We obviously didn't share!

I am one
of those
incurables
that would
claim to be
a pulse protean poet
by virile necessity
of prostrate appendix.
By observant necessity
of self-tormented soul.

All real freedom springs from necessity, for it can be gained only through the exercise of the individual will, and that will can be roused to energetic action only by the force of necessity acting upon it from the outside to spur it to effort.

I think the biggest difficulty is that when I'm here in America, there's a necessity of using English, so I really have a great sense of really wanting to learn, but unfortunately when I head back to Japan, the necessity vanishes and so does my enthusiasm about learning.

The art of Peace I practice has room for each of the world's eight million gods, and I cooperate with them all. The God of Peace is very great and enjoins all that is divine and enlightened in every land.

As however the ancients say that in case of necessity any Christian lay person can administer the sacrament of Baptism, so Luther says the same thing about absolution in case of necessity, where no priest is present.

Bourgeois class domination is undoubtedly an historical necessity, but, so too, the rising of the working class against it. Capital is an historical necessity, but, so too, its grave digger, the socialist proletariat.

The law of cases of necessity is not likely to be well furnished with precise rules; necessity creates the law, it supersedes rules; and whatever is reasonable and just in such cases, is likewise legal; it is not to be considered as matter of surprise, therefore, if much instituted rule is not to be found on such subjects.

If mind is common to us, then also the reason, whereby we are reasoning beings, is common. If this be so, then also the reason which enjoins what is to be done or left undone is common. If this be so, law also is common; if this be so, we are citizens; if this be so, we are partakers in one constitution; if this be so, the Universe is a kind of Commonwealth.

As If A Gift.... (Write Not)
write not...
from the need for fame,
or in the hope of success.
write from necessity...
the same necessity
that governs your breathing.
and from the urgency
of the darkest hour just before dawn!
write not for yourself...
for in writing for others
you will find yourself.
and above all, be honest,
always remembering simplicity,
and naked touch!
write as if a gift,
expecting nothing in return!

You Must Know
You must know
What is necessity
And what is love.
Necessity is life
It is food shelter
and sex.
But love is divine
and secred.
You are my home
My food dress and sex
You are my habit
I can not live without you.
May be I am tired of you
May be I am angry
with you
May be I hate you
But finally
I return to you
to drink your salty sweats
Because you are life
I do not love
my own life.

Elegy upon undoing love forever
I cease for the importance of humanity
I know ot if mine was a desire or necessity
The fire had died out
The cold had no more clout
But if I ask will it arouse again
If i am to spot another
Of mine body, soul alike to pain
Will i be able to go on further?
The elegance of love is tarnished by necessity
I know not of amendments
But I can never forget you but can dim
In old ages increments
But will I meet another
I think while watching you go somewhere
Heart is maybe wet leather
It can be thrown anywhere
[ With this poem I end my love I shall rather die then forget. Alas I am a mere spectator as woe plays and celebrates it's might]
