Unfortunately, the food industry has not yet faced this situation and begun taking measures to avoid exploiting our weakness for not knowing when we have had enough.

Next year, if no one gives me any work, that's fine. I'm not going to do well anyway. I'm not an actor, I'm just exploiting this industry.

Yes...Your Situation Is Quite Different
'I am in pain.
And you act as 'if',
You aren't concerned about my wellbeing...
Or my dilemma,
Not one bit.
My agonies have increased.
And not a hint of empathy...
Have you expressed,
Knowing I am...
As you see,
In distress.'
I agree.
Your evaluation of me,
I can not deny.
Nor will I try.
But even though I am attempted...
To do an 'eye-for-an-eye',
OR a turning of the other cheek business.
I can not do that.
Even as your words to me heard...
To stop complaining,
And stand on my own two feet.
As I reached to get your assistance...
In my own hour of need,
You then described as weakness.
Those very words spoken to me,
Years ago...
Came from your lips.
And you didn't stop there,
You solicited others to defame and laugh at me.
I remember that clearly.
Maybe that act you performed,
Has attached to my lack of expressing an empathy...
You believed is deserved from me.
'Hey!
We all make mistakes
And maybe mine made were at your expense.
Being able to forgive replenishes.
And clearly my situation is quite different.
I've lost everything.'
I see.
And even your common sense.
Yes...
Your situation is quite different.
I'm not feeling your self pity.
And that weakness shown to you...
Is nothing like your conditional spinelessness.

Quarreling over food and drink, having neither scruples nor shame, not knowing right from wrong, not trying to avoid death or injury, not fearful of greater strength or of greater numbers, greedily aware only of food and drink - such is the bravery of the dog and boar.
Unusual Scene
Frightening sound on tree form owl,
Was it the systematic retreat or withdrawal?
Something unusual was taking place,
Was it for supremacy or scene replaced?
Whatever was happening really not good sign?
Preference more to stay calm and resign,
Why all indications not showing enthusiasm?
Panic more and leading not to realism,
When faced with very bad situation?
Inner conscious revolt and many questions,
Wisdom and innocence doesn’t augur well,
Seems all against and life living hell,
When you are facing danger and bad luck,
Fate will be against and people ready to suck
All moves backfire and result in zero,
Thought you may be brave but never a hero,
Friends and relatives will desert the scene,
Who were so close will never be seen,
Avoiding audience and not eager or keen,
Such situation I never faced or been,
I learned a lot from setback or failure,
Met with defeat where success was sure,
How I take it coming and others assure,
Never to loose hope I made doubly assure

Overweight with Food
Are you just a tub of lard and
Vastly overweight?
Do you think that when you die you'll
Need a piano crate
To act as coffin for your frame? -
Chosen as you die in shame, with
Only you to take the blame
For years of eating much the same:
A daily calorific fest
Gourmands of your ilk digest!
Is your heart in final fling and
Nearly set to burst?
Are your arteries bunged and clogged and
Feeling now the worst
For wear? - your aneurysm fit to blow
While blood as thick as rising dough
Cries 'Halt! ' to any hope of flow:
A dreadful state to put on show
In front of any nurse!
Best you hail a hearse.

Syrup Sponge
Pour a pint of cream
Upon my spongy bulge!
Scoop me with a
Hefty spoon;
Taste my essence -
Do you swoon?
Feed your self-esteem; indulge
In me until you burst -
Death by syrup sponge - you're cursed!
And as the count in inches gain
Upon your weary waist, the strain
Will tell, but you'll not care -
Steeped in sponge, you're unaware!

Time Of Revelation
(moving to a fantasy world)
Wont you take
A chance my brother
Follow me to a time of revelation
Cant you see that
Destiny will take a turn
And show you
Theres no need to fight
cause you know its right
And I finally see where Im going
I finally know what Im knowing
Now our journeys only just begun
You wont need to ask forgiveness
What you find
Will be your inspiration
You dont have to pray for glory
All is equal, no more pain
You know its true, its up to you
cause I finally see where Im going
I finally know what Im knowing
Now our journeys only just begun
Over the bridge
Where you start to believe
Down at the edge of the rainbow
Dark is the night
But weve seen another time
Follow the light of the shadow
Right or wrong, there is no reason
There will be no hidden destination
With the strength that you discover
You can show the way
How it was meant to be
For all to see
cause I finally know
What Im knowing
I finally see where Im going
Now our journeys only just begun

Salad is Incompatible with Life
Yes, my waist is fifty inches -
Big for me because I'm short.
And yes, I like my cheddar cheese
When partnered with a vintage port.
Okay, okay, that double cream
Is always served with pud,
And cake and biscuits with my tea
Are just no bloody good
For my poor hardened arteries,
But see my point of view,
Please dear wifey if you please,
A Salad makes me spew!
I'd rather eat a bowl of air
Than crunch away on greens;
Drink water from the toilet bowl
Or nibble on my jeans!
But salad! Are you there?
You know it makes me snappy -
So let me fill my face with grub,
Stay fat, and die young happy!

No where to go
I continue to ponder and wonder
Could not find answer why clouds thunder?
Is it because of happiness and joy?
Indication of strategy …………..
Frightening sound on tree form clumsy owl,
Is it systematic retreat or unwanted withdrawal?
Is it not something unusual taking place at night?
Was it for supremacy or show of strength and might?
Whatever is happening really not good sign?
Preference should be more to stay calm and resign,
Why all indications not showing some form of enthusiasm?
Panic surface more and leading no where to realism,
When faced with such bad situation?
Inner conscious may revolt and faced with many questions,
Wisdom and innocence doesn’t augur and go well,
It seems all against as life proves living hell,
When you are facing danger with no such good luck,
Fate will be certain and people may duck
All moves backfired and resulting into zero,
Though you may be brave but never become hero,
Friends and relatives will leave and desert the scene,
Supposed to remain but will never be seen,
Avoiding contacts and not eager or keen,
Such situation you may face as you are in
I have learned a lot from setback or failure,
Met with defeat where success was sure,
How I take it coming and others assure?
Never to loose hope and make it doubly assure

Reason To Believe
If I listen long enough to you
I'd find the way to believe
That it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight faced
While I cried
Still I looked to find
The reason to believe
Someone like you makes it hard
To live without somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give
And never thinking of myself
If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find the way
To leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight faced
While I cried
Still I looked to find
The reason to believe
If I listen long enough to you
I'd find the way to believe
That it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight faced
While I cried
Still I looked to find
The reason to believe

042211I please try it
i box food i wasn't able to eat
which i usually throw it away
after watching documentaries
in far away land where food
is scarce that sometimes
riots occur just for buying
situation; sometimes i forget
in my fridge and i feel guilty
i write date on it; sometimes
i color code those boxes
most are meats and fruits
please try it, conserve food

Natural Principles
It is natural principle
And must pass on without trouble
You have right to fight
But In context of light
You must earn bread
Without it you are dead
You earn for the service rendered
Nothing more is cornered
Whatever be the importance of money?
But it has relevance for many’
Complete life is dependent
Without it you will be just repentant
It is good to go on strike
Impact should be more and not slight
But with full sacrifice and consequences
Not merely for causing hardships in any sense
No reward for no work or idle capacity
That speaks of bad quality
The economy can be ruined
Nothing out of it can be gained
So much damage is done intentionally
It is not at all wanted really
That cripples whole of industry
Adds to plight and misery
No work no pay holds good
Pay is for paying the food
Whole of family may be starved
If situation is not cleverly saved
Demand must be in tune
That may not bring any fortune
It will worsen the situation if gone out of hand
Repeat colure or disruption of work should not be the trend

The Pigeon Poem
The Pigeon is taking food away from her mate today,
or he is taking food away from his mate today.
She is taking food to put on fat for winter time,
or he is taking food from her to dine.
Pigeons are like people cause people are like that.
feeding Pigeons in the park is fine,
old people have the time, to dine with pigeons;
Time i have today:
the time i play away
thinking of (?)
the pigeons as I dine.
I am fine.
She is putting on her fat.
He is just out to dine.
People are like pigeons.
people are like that.
