What people in distress most wish for, they most readily believe.

Essence and Existence
Part readily the skin
and readily the pulp,
as readily the tongues
wild apples bore,
eviscerate the cores
and watermelon spit the pits
they cannot swallow.
Let this be done before
the tongues
wild lemons bore
find no cores.

Savor Truth
Part readily the skin
and readily the pulp
and readily the tongues
wild apples bore,
eviscerate the cores
and watermelon spit
the pits they
cannot swallow.
Do this before
you let the tongues
wild lemons bore
find no cores
and you will
savor truth
unlike so many now
still gnawing

He who readily believes, will be readily disappointed.
Names are changed more readily than doctrines, and doctrines more readily than ceremonies.

Quatrain #348 - It Appears That In This World
It appears that in this world it's easier to make an enemy than a friend
as there are many people here to whose will others don't readily bend.
It is also a fact of life then for us all to have to admit
that with some people we find it very hard to submit.

We All Have Our Separate Cravings
One's honesty achieved,
Through identity and self awareness...
Is not always readily received,
Or appreciated as some might believe.
When one is outspoken with it
Most people are still in hiding,
Protected by the comforts of denial.
And this has to be respected for what it is.
Some are born to follow.
Preferring to remain,
Collectors of a shallowness.
With a sharing of it that can be borrowed.
It is easy to have peace of mind,
For one who finally finds...
And discovers a wish for it,
To be with them all the time.
Others are accustomed to be led.
This gives them a reason,
To complain and have an axe to grind.
And 'if' this should satisfy...
Let them have their favorite torments wished.
We all have our separate cravings.
One's honesty achieved,
Through identity and self awareness...
Is not always readily received,
Or appreciated as some might believe.
And that's okay...
To come unassuming,
And to leave that way!

It was my duty, to help somebody
Looted by robbers
Badly injured
He was crying in pain
His money gone
He was driving on a remote road
He had trusted two lift seekers
Responded to their request
Of dropping them
To the next station
Never in his life
He shall help and trust anybody
How much in distress one may be
It’s my vow he said to himself
A hand on his shoulder
Brought him out of his thoughts
There was a person
Standing near by
He took him to the hospital
Got him treated, gave food to eat
Took his full care
Kept him in his house
Till he became alright
Gave money to him
Dropped him at the station
While departing
Tears flowing from his eyes
Thank you he said
To the god like person
It was my duty, to help somebody
In distress, came the reply
He now vowed, he shall also help
People in distress
Without bothering
In return
What he shall get?

There's a basic human weakness inherent in all people which tempts them to want what they can't have and not want what is readily available to them.

The shortage of buyers, which the world is suffering from, is readily understood, not as due to people not wishing to obtain possession of goods, but as people being unwilling to part with something which might earn a regular income in exchange for those goods.

and the Palestinian people
now the lawn

Help For Lonely People
There is hardly any
Help for lonely people needy.
People are afraid to help them,
For fear of catching, ahem,
The social disease
Themselves and be without buddies.
People are not very different from birds,
That try to hide their weaknesses within their gizzards
Until the moment of death,
Because they expect no help in distress
From other creatures of the flesh.

Bangla Desh
My friend came to me, with sadness in his eyes
He told me that he wanted help
Before his country dies
Although I couldnt feel the pain, I knew I had to try
Now Im asking all of you
To help us save some lives
Bangla desh, bangla desh
Where so many people are dying fast
And it sure looks like a mess
Ive never seen such distress
Now wont you lend your hand and understand
Relieve the people of bangla desh
Bangla desh, bangla desh
Such a great disaster - I dont understand
But it sure looks like a mess
Ive never known such distress
Now please dont turn away, I want to hear you say
Relieve the people of bangla desh
Relieve bangla desh
Bangla desh, bangla desh
Now it may seem so far from where we all are
Its something we cant neglect
Its something I cant neglect
Now wont you give some bread to get the starving fed
Weve got to relieve bangla desh
Relieve the people of bangla desh
Weve got to relieve bangla desh
Relieve the people of bangla desh
