The relation of the individual person to the species he belongs to is the most intimate of all relations.

Owing to this struggle for life, any variation, however slight and from whatever cause proceeding, if it be in any degree profitable to an individual of any species, in its infinitely complex relations to other organic beings and to external nature, will tend to the preservation of that individual, and will generally be inherited by its offspring. The offspring, also, will thus have a better chance of surviving, for, of the many individuals of any species which are periodically born, but a small number can survive. I have called this principle, by which each slight variation, if useful, is preserved, by the term of Natural Selection, in order to mark its relation to man's power of selection.

The claim of the State Socialists, however, that this right would not be exercised in matters pertaining to the individual in the more intimate and private relations of his life is not borne out by the history of governments.

Ive Got Five Dollars
Mister shylock was stingy
I was miserly too.
I was more selfish
And crabby than a shellfish.
Oh, dear, its queer
What love can do!
Id give all my possessions
For you
Ive got five dollars
Im in good conditions
And Ive got ambition
That belongs to you.
Six shirts and collars
Debts beyond endurance
On my life insurance
That belongs to you!
Ive got a heart
That must be spurtin!
Just be certain
Ill be true
Take my five dollars!
Take my shirt and collars!
Take my heart and hollers!
Evrything Ive got belongs to you!
Ive got five dollars
Eighty-five relations
Two lace combinations
They belongs to you!
Two coats with collars
Ma and grandma woreem
All the moths adore em
They belongs to you!
Ive got two lips
That care for mating
Therefore waiting
Will not do!
Take my five dollars!
Take my shirt and collars!
Take my heart and hollers!
Evrything Ive got belongs to you!

Sky Only Refuge
If sky is only refuge for loneliness
No other source can be traced
As it have vast horizons
And nothing to blame or own
Who can stop you from watching endlessly?
No one may utter a word loosely
As it is your choice and domain
Rest may be careless and so remain
Yes no answer can be found
As you go round and round
There is no enough ground
As no arguments may seem sound
I can race towards end
In desperate bid to find a lover or friend
To find clear voice in clouds thunder
If really found in it then it may be a wonder
I can’t dwell at length on this subject
It is not my pointer towards an object
I simply believe it belongs to all
Responds to apathy and distress call
No one hates for any particular reason
It may not be any individual or person
Some qualities in him might have developed cracks
Entire relation has been dazed to ground and at stake
You need not fool around and pose questions
Believe in what has happened in the relation!
They may be sometimes blessing in disguise
As it stand at the tie of giving promises
There are many objects around to take shelter
No one may be found suitable when dreams are shattered
One thing must be purely to be understood that it stands unaltered
Whether love ism deceived, sold, broken or bartered

Trust is the pivot of relations
Trust is the pivot of
Relations
Thoughts of doubt
Can crack the trust
Put a question mark
On relations
Sufficient to destroy
Age-old bonds
It can make one
Loose a friend
Separate lovers
Disintegrate families
Kills the soul
Of an individual
One starts eyeing
Every one with
Suspicion
It can become
Life’s biggest
Misadventure

There is not one big cosmic meaning for all, there is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person.
I think a lot of people have lost respect for the individual, you know, the individual, the person who doesn't conform.

Within speech, words are subject to a kind of relation that is independent of the first and based on their linkage: these are syntagmatic relations, of which I have spoken.

In my pseudonymous works
‘ there is not a single word which is mine’
there is only this third person
this second person this first person
who shall speak for me in different
tongues and minds, there is no
knowledge of their meaning
except as a reader expressing
himself now, in relation to myself
not, it is now his private relationship
to himself opening to himself
revealing himself, and I will
not be responsible. He is now
giving himself, and devouring
himself when I am not looking.
I take the door, I take the exit
Now he comes, he then lives.

There have been some medical schools in which somewhere along the assembly line, a faculty member has informed the students, not so much by what he said but by what he did, that there is an intimate relation between curing and caring.

I Stıll Welcome The Raın
A storm is continuing in relations
Still I welcome the rain
Without any suffocation
Converting every sorrow
To delightful moment
Enjoying each drop
of rain as a new event.
Individual drops are important
To grow even grasses
Likewise every sec is required
To avoid all relation crashes.
Rain never was so pain full for me
feeling lonely to face my nativity
A heavy rain cleans all the dirt of city
Showing the lesson us to vanish coldness from anxiety,
I love to walk in the rain
Changing my destiny in Shane
Carrying all drops over my shoulder
With a hope to come over
The raw smell of first rain
Reflecting beauty of earth’s gain
With never ending pain
I still welcome the rain.

Real neighbour
Who can be called real neighbour?
Who stands by you in critical hour?
Who carries no ill will or harbour?
With you always and yours
On neighbours you can always bank
Open close secrets and remain frank
In happiness and moments toast drink
Share the feelings and always think
He is the one who attends you first
Relatives may know and come at the last
He may think wise and console your grief
Yet very near and far to be very brief
Neighbourer is real one and dear as God
Stands by in time and extends nod
Such peaceful and congenial atmosphere
Only luckiest will have to be found no where
This tradition remains centuries old
Relations grow and never freeze in cold
Embrace with love and firmly hold
To show real love with approach bold
Cities have witnessed deterioration in love
Relations cold and feeling far drove
No one would know who is next door
No warmth in feelings and ill will bore
No hi, hello or greetings exchange
No gatherings and orderly meetings arrange
Separate courtyards and affairs self manage
No strengthening of bonds but only damage
Who do we need at critical time?
Show of strength and love as prime
Only available source to take us closer
Forge the relation and permanent merger
Strive very hard to grow in harmony
Relation may weigh and not the money
Sweetness may be found only in honey
Rest all relations may be cruel joke and funny

Broken mould.
What mould was used to create
the species of earth?
The mould changes automatically,
to create the better species.
Who has programed the mould,
to be mold, omitting the U?
The mould that is kept in every species,
in the form of DNA and RNA.
What an Creator is that person,
who has such knowledge.
It took thousands years,
to decode the secrets of procreation.
It took millions of lives,
to find out remedy for infections.
It has taken a life span of human,
to realize the truth in final breathe.
If The same mould is used,
there is no kick in it.
The variation is a pleasure,
Various kinds of people,
with variant characters,
distinctive features, color and hair,
but Color of the liquids,
rhythm of the heart beat,
months of full term pregnancy,
are all same for every species.
A simple change
may mutate the functions.
Let us be proud of the moulds,
that we have in us.
Let us make use of the mould,
that we have inherited.
