Mine has been a concern for the people, a concern to maintain stability, a concern to get people working together racially, ethnically, rich and poor - all segments of the city.

To get concern
I like that I am poor,
That’d fetch me others’ concern.
I like that I fall ill,
That’d earn me others’ concern.
I like that I am aged,
That’d grant me others’ concern.
Such occasions failing,
I’d pretend like those.

Manners count
It is your dress, cleanliness and manner,
Not your skin, countenance, and glamour,
That earns you a woman’s concern.
Your clean mind, clean teeth, clean habit,
Not your muscles, jewels and wallet
Are which earn you a woman’s concern.
Be your manner and calls above her reproach.
Refrain from over care and over indulgence.
Then you will have earned a woman’s concern.
You lend her your ear and not eye.
You tend her passion, not her lust.
You will have won her concern.
If you have no concern for women,
If you have no woman’s concern,
Then no use of you being born.

Circumspection
Many things i see concern me about people
I see people do stupid things
I see people do things to help the world
I see people do many things that someday they will not be proud of
Concerns come from the stupid things i see people do
If there a thousands of people doing things that i see
The world is a lot worse than what i thought
But other things i see cause me to see the good side of things
People that i see do acts of kindness make me see the world in other ways
But from what i see some people do i am filled with concern.

Life and human society are the chief concern of Confucianism and, through it, the chief concern of the Chinese people.
Mandy
Knowing how to serve comes from practicing,
With humility and loving-kindness;
But deliver the news to he or she who cares,
And display true love and concern to one another.
Learn my muse and be perfect,
With the concern for the well-being of others;
For i am Mandy in the land of the people of peace!

Concern for passion
How high the Mount Everest is
Or how deep the Pacific is,
Is not my concern right now.
How much for me she cares
And how deep for me her love is,
Is my immediate concern.
How warm the sun is,
Or how cool the moon is,
Is not my anguish.
How warm her heart is,
And how cool her look is,
Is my desperate wish.
Concern for passion
Is corporal urge
That occupies foremost.

Health In Danger
The danger of health is such a lie,
In this side of my heart I cry and delve
Into higher modes of learning,
The worship of this I adore more than others
Who are people of deep concern.
The range of deserters in this world
Concern our judges as men of distrust,
Men of whole disgust, men of germs
And what is their health right now?
They are buried under the stars forcibly.

Man Is A Threat To Men
I cannot have concern for co-chasers.
I cannot have concern for co-escapees.
My survival is most important to me.
That is why man is a threat to men.

A subject which at first glance seems quite removed from the undeclared concern of the book can encapsulate that concern.

Cure yourself of the affliction of caring how you appear to others. Concern yourself only with how you appear before God, concern yourself only with the idea that God may have of you.

What god do they serve?
There are people that say
that those that are sick,
wretched and poor
live outside the will of God
and that their sins
brings them there.
What about a two-year-old child
that die in terrible pain
from cancer,
the upright person
that gives his life for others
and do they also
go straight to the place of destruction?
What god does just look after the rich,
the healthy, clever people
and those that are born
with the golden spoon
and live in palaces
and do not concern themselves with others?
l’Envoi
Great Lord, I just wonder
what god do they serve
when mine see
the two pennies of a poor woman,
is the great king of the universe
and in a manger
as a human
saw first light,
visited the whore
and tax collector
and paid the price
for the sins of ungrateful impudent people
and still said:
“Father forgive them,
for they do not know what they are doing.”

The sport of man and woman
A woman’s concern is
How she could be an asset to men’s eyes.
A man’s concern is
How he could get a berth in her heart.
This is the sport that keeps them smart.

Man is for fire, woman for fuel.
How you are rather than what you are,
Is the woman’s concern in bed.
How she appears rather than how she acts,
Is your concern with her in bed.
Enrich your skill and manner,
She, to do in looks and walk.

Religion is the state of being grasped by an ultimate concern, a concern which qualifies all other concerns as preliminary and which itself contains the answer to the question of a meaning of our life.

For survivability
Hunters have no concern
For the forest they hunt from.
Farmers have much concern
For the field they plough in.
Treat the society as farm land.
