The difference between hearsay and prophecy is often one of sequence. Hearsay often turns out to have been prophecy.

Secularism and communalism
Is secularism opposite of
Communalism?
I do not know also
What do you mean by
Economic reforms.
I know only agitation.
Agitation for what
That I can not say.
And I can not say
So many things
Such as how and why
Gandhiji is termed as
Mahatma and bapuji.
Who am I
I can not say
I also can not say
Why giving is not giving me
Pleasure and you want to receive.
I am also not able to
Distinguish inner and outer
Space here in this body.
I can say from hearsay
So many things
But you say hearsay has got
No evidentiary values.
I do not know what is what
And when I utter anything
You termed me in some words
That I am unadble to understand.

Unfounded By Hearsay
I spent five months,
Recuperating in a hospital...
Once.
And feeling depths of isolation,
With drifting expectations.
I have learned much about others,
And their assumptions...
Unfounded by hearsay.
And those weakened by their own beliefs.
Blessed I am to have had experiences,
Many with closed mindsets...
Have yet in their limited realities,
Been exposed to have bestowed.
And I have more of an understanding,
Of those who have managed to live alone...
With a pulling up of their bootstraps,
And to ignore those trapped...
With nothing else to offer but passed judgements,
Within walls of their false comfort zones.
And believing them to remain like that forever.
I have learned much about others,
And their assumptions...
Unfounded by hearsay.
And those weakened by their own beliefs.
If someone lies long enough to themselves,
And feed their lies to others to believe...
Reality,
When it finally arrives...
Is worse than facing a created enemy.

He who believes in hearsay does himself a disservice.
Better one eye-witness than ten hearsay witnesses.
All truths begin as hearsay, as far as I'm concerned.

The testimony of one eyewitness is worth more than the hearsay of a hundred.
Two Hundred Years After
Trudging by Corbie Ridge one winter's night,
(Unless old hearsay memories tricked his sight)
Along the pallid edge of the quiet sky
He watched a nosing lorry grinding on,
And straggling files of men; when these were gone,
A double limber and six mules went by,
Hauling the rations up through ruts and mud
To trench-lines digged two hundred years ago.
Then darkness hid them with a rainy scud,
And soon he saw the village lights below.
But when he'd told his tale, an old man said
That he'd seen soldiers pass along that hill;
'Poor silent things, they were the English dead
Who came to fight in France and got their fill.'

I'm trying to deal with ideas about histories, fame, hearsay, and how public identities are constructed.

Education commences at the mother's knee, and every word spoken within hearsay of little children tends toward the formation of character.

People who don't know me have opinions about me. That's the part that's very hurtful. Because how do you form an opinion about somebody if you've never met them or spent any time with them? So it's all based upon hearsay or things that they've read.

Love in many phases
Love at first sight: many vouch for it.
Love at long sight: It exists between fans
and stardoms.
Love at short sight: Proximity brings about it.
Love at dim sight: It thrives in profession.
Love at random sight: It revamps in absentia.
Love at blind sight: It is the Oedipus complex.
Love at wrong sight: Incest relation.
Each has its own span of life with momentary pleasure.

The only other things, and again these things are hearsay, is that he could be pretty rough on directors, because he knew exactly the way he wanted to play the part. And he did so.

Waiting For Sex
(a. bell / v. clarke)
Oh la, oh la la la
Oh la la la, oh la la la, oh la la la
Whatever you say has no effect
On my sense of well-being, I reject
The savage words, that issue forth,
Without meaning.
If youre waiting for sex, then stand in line.
Its merely an extra, you invade my inner space,
And I tear out your guts for garters.
Your eloquence is nothing more than a hearsay.
Your intelligence leaves much to be desired.
Oh, you leave me restless,
You leave me starblind.
Step in to my world, (world)
And I will give you a garland of roses. (give...roses)
Well taste the heavy scent, (scent)
And drift around for endless moments. (around)
But dont bother to come (to come)
If your heart is so full of poison, (heart...poison)
Then one drop of golden sun (drop...sun)
Will melt you down into the worst witch. (down)
Your eloquence is nothing more than hearsay.
Your intelligence leaves much to be desired.
Oh, you leave me restless,
You leave me starblind.
Its elementary, my dear watson, free me
Or the baskervilles will hunt you down tonight.
Youre not the worlds most handsome man, believe me,
A thousand others like you standing by.
Oh, you leave me restless,
You leave me starblind.

My Young Brother Sang A Song
it is quite
a discovery
i a mode of hearsay
that allegedly
when my father almost died
being bitten by
his own white horse
my younger brother
who was then
so young
sang a song and sang it well
with all his friends
who were drinking
beer.

The insight
Without light, sight is no use.
Without sight, light is no use.
Eyes give sight and sight, insight.
Without insight, sight is blind.

Love At First Sight
See the lovers all gone crazy
Looking for romance it seems
Many sleepless nights will follow
Some may lose but some succeed
Love at first sight
What they want is...
Love at first sight
Make a play of lust intention
Only just one thing in mind
Make a slip could be forever
Wedding bells, the shotgun kind
Love at first sight
What they want is...
Love at first sight
Mouse takes the bait
So soon as he leaves his seat
Theres no escape, very soon their eyes will meet
Love at first sight etc.
Take your partner to surrender
Then your misdemeanours done
Sacrifice of maidenhood
But little boys must have their fun
Love at first sight.
