We're very needy people, you know.

Needy Independentness
I desire to be called many things,
For several reasons.
I too have needs unlike most.
I too am the host of my own fears,
Unwanted.
Yet they cling.
With a needy independentness.
I desire to be called many things,
For several reasons.
Some may say I invite,
The practice of dysfunctions.
And I must admit,
I do.
I want to understand the 'why' of them.
Not pretend they don't exist.
Although they make a constant appearance.
And not a word has to be heard from anyone...
Familiar with the lengths of these 'visits'.
I want to know the reason people can't let them go.
But then again...
I am addicted to nicotine.
Telling myself I am not hooked,
After more than 50yrs of saying 'cigs' are my best friends.
I desire to be called many things,
With a needy independentness.
I too am the host of my own fears,
Introducing them myself...
With a needy independentness.
I want to understand the 'why' of them.
With a needy independentness.
I just can't seem to put to rest.
And getting rest is the best thing yet.
But then again...
I am addicted to nicotine.
Telling myself I am not hooked.
For several reasons.
I too have needs unlike most.
I too am the host of my own fears,
Unwanted.
Yet they cling.
With a needy independentness.

Provide water and air which is clean and pure
Water
Is the most important
Need of life
The miracle liquid
Is scarce and polluted
Specially in the villages
The poor and needy
Are force to drink it in plenty
Science and technology
Is being used more and more
By all the countries
Underdeveloped nations
In their urge
To become developed
Use resources
In an unbalanced manner
Nobody bothers
About the poor villagers
Industries of rich and powerful
Pollute environment and soil
Toxifying the water underneath
With chemicals like chlorine
Rivers and lakes too face their ire
Poor people forced to drink
The same water
Causing diseases
In the poor and needy
What was provided by god?
Free of cost, is now bought
Enormous profits are earned
In the name of water,
Pure and healthy
I ask everybody
To wake and rise
Force the rulers
To use their might
Provide water and air
Which is clean and pure
Develop water purifiers
Cheap and handy
Distribute them to the needy
Save poor people from
Disease and dying

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.

Leftovers
Save your leftovers,
And don't you think about it.
Throwing them out to just,
Waste away.
Away.
Save...
Those leftovers.
Don't throw them out to just,
Waste away.
Today.
People are coming to their senses,
With no defense.
People are easier to convince today...
When they see so many in need,
And...
Pretending not to be hungry.
Don't you throw leftovers out,
Because they satisfied that taste you've got.
The needy people have increased.
So share with others,
What you don't eat.
People,
Are coming to their senses.
Don't you throw leftovers out,
Because they satisfied...
That taste you've got.
People,
Are coming to their senses.
The needy people have increased.
So share they do,
What they don't eat.
People,
Are easier to convince today...
When they see so many in need,
And...
Pretending not to be hungry.
People,
Are easier to convince today...
When they see so many in need,
And...
Pretending not to be hungry.
People,
Are coming to their senses.
The needy people have increased.
So share they do,
What they don't eat.
People,
Are coming to their senses.
Don't you throw leftovers out,

I used to think I was poor. Then they told me I wasn't poor, I was needy. They told me it was self-defeating to think of myself as needy, I was deprived. Then they told me underprivileged was overused. I was disadvantaged. I still don't have a dime. But I have a great vocabulary.

Silent spectator
I sit silent and seek no solace
Search for hut and not the palace
Simple desire with no strings attached
Emotionally bound but never feel detached,
My soul cry over the sufferings and misery
Pray for blessings even for adversary
I want to be apostle for needy and poor
Serve to the best of ability from door to door
Can I not spend little time for needy?
World is moving fast and people are greedy?
No time for peasants and country men
this can be sign of downfall and bad omen
if I can wipe the tears and distribute food
Kind words which may prove to be good
providing shelters and taking them out of wood
Medicines and food along with fresh supply of blood
These are all impracticable and idealistic views
May not be shared by many but only few
Thoughts may peter out as morning dews,
Headlines may appear but not as good news,
I may not venture and go for big move
Try at least for apprehensions to remove
Let needy dream and wait for good words
If not men but blessings from the Lord

With the Sun Going Down With Nowhere To Go
With scars adept to traffic,
I go sideways: The dogs want out.
They are very needy, and the days are needy
Too. Another one has eaten the world,
My soul is joyous- but my face tired-
If I sold wine, I’d be beautiful,
I’d have a little family, and a house in the
Snow- I’d play with my daughter under the
Tree, and I wouldn’t listen no matter what
The serpent sang to me;
And my soul is joyous, it has nowhere to go.
Maybe tomorrow it will follow the sun outside
And around the world a bit;
Maybe it will visit you and crenellate your daughter
Like a good luck charm, and influence more
People to consummate you- They consummate you
Already with the sun going down,
The cars swirling down the mountain as if in a
Clever, automated dream; their faces winding down,
But I should think that their souls would like
To crenellate your daughter with me too.
She is drooling on a bib you wear over your gown,
With the sun going down with nowhere to go.

1,2,3,4.
1,2,3,4
Needy men sprawled on the floor.
Many pass with merciless stares
While they wait patiently for somebody to care.
No job, no house, no bed to sleep
We leave these men without basic needs.
Assuming that they spend it on booze and drugs
We flick them away like pesky bugs.
No job, no house, no bed to sleep
And all they want is some money to eat.
No job, no house, no bed to sleep
Is this how we treat God’s sheep?
No job, no house, no bed to sleep
Won’t somebody care to see?
That 1,2,3,4
Needy men, need support.

Just Leave Me Alone
Do I look of the needy
or of the greedy
Why would one offer such things
Why can't people just leave me be
Don't they see
I have all I want or need
right inside me
So with angelic touch I have to say no
Just leave me alone.

Almsgiving (Chapter 107, Holy Koran)
I ask for refuge to Allah from Satan the exiled evildoer.
In the name of Allah the Kind and the Merciful Giver.
Have you noticed the person who disbelieves the Judgment?
It is him who gives the orphans harsh treatment
And does not urge the people to feed the needy
Then the praying ones will be extremely sorry
Who are unmindful of their praying duty,
Who do good things to impress people
And forbid others to give anything at all.

Kinky Afro
You go spooky in a band
Son, Im 30
I only went with your mother cause shes dirty
And I dont have a decent bone in me
What you get is just what you see yeah
I should so I take it free yeah
And all the bad preserves be things that feed me
I never help or give to the needy
Come on and see me
Yippee-ippee-ey-ey-ay-yey-yey
I had to crucify some brother today
And I dont dig what you gotta say
So come on and say it
Come on and tell me twice
I said dad youre a shabby
You run around and groove like a baggy
Youre only here just out of habit
All thats mine you might as well have it
You take 10p back and then stab it
Spray it on and tag it
So sack on me
I cant stand the needy
Get around here if youre asking youre feeling
Yippee-ippee-ey-ey-ay-yey-yey
I had to crucify somebody today
And I dont dig what you gotta say
So come on and say it
Come on and tell me twice
So sack all the needy
I cant stand to leave it
You come around here and you put both your feet in
Yippee-ippee-ey-ey-ay-yey-yey
I had to crucify somebody today
And I dont dig what you gotta say
So go on and say it
Yippee-ippee-ey-ey-ay-yey-yey
I had to crucify some brother today
And I dont hear what you gotta say
So come on and say it
Come on and tell me twice

The Root Of Evil
The root of all evil
Has me negatively
interacting with people
I can't figure out the reason
People are just soo greedy
And when it comes to money
Why are they soo needy
Its always the people who
Don't need it chasing it the most
Life is funny without money
You notice things you wouldnt
If you had money
People are brain washed
Thinking that pieces of paper
Can bring you life long forfillment
But Materials will never bring enjoyment
Money can't and won't buy
Love
Happyness
Or health
Wealth
Only brings
Decite
Evil
Jealousy
Envy
And a negative situation
The bottom line is this
Money can't buy you happyness
The happyness starts within you

A Day When The Food Eaten All Alone
A day
when the food eaten all alone
in the absence of the guests,
A night spent
without accompanying and enjoying
the beautifully dressed and well adorned wife,
The entire day passed
without offering what is needed
to the needy and poor;
The above three are considered
as the disease to the learned
and knowledgeable people.

When Greedy People Do Not Feed Those Needy
When greedy people do not feed those needy...
And squeeze from them resources,
Plundered and leeched.
They eventually lose what they treasure.
And without measure,
Emotionally suffer the worse.
To live their lives in fear feeling worthless,
As their reward received.

Who Has Been In Charge of the Press Releases?
As long as we keep them depicted,
As needy heathens...
This will provide all the incentive we need,
To maintain our delusions.
With the same marketing tactics.
And keeping those ignorant believing we are better.
Who has been in charge of the press releases?
I don't care who they voted for!
This 'liberal' atmosphere has gotten out of hand.
Before you know it...
Everyone will believe they are here to 'think'.
And we will lose our status of being a great people.

My America
My America, was such a great place
We had lofty ideals, and saving grace
Everyone lived, within their means
This was America, in my teens
Gas was cheap, and so were bills
And always a little bit, for some frills
Corporations weren't, quite so greedy
Very few people, were really needy
This was America, before her fall
What caused the fall, I can't recall
Was it politicians, that caused all this?
Or imported oil, that ruined our bliss?
Now very few people, really live well
Only the elite, from what I can tell
My America, Where did you go?
The one that's left, I barely know

The Immunity (Chapter 9, Verses 60, Holy Koran)
I ask for refuge to Allah from Satan the exiled evildoer.
In the name of Allah the Kind and the Merciful Giver.
Charity is for the poor and the needy
And its fundraising employees
And for those whose hearts are to be won by mercy
And for those in bondage and in debt
And in the way of Allah the Great
And for the people who are far away from home
And Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom.

Time Travelers #2
As we travel through this life, let us
step softly, leaving behind precious
footprints as we go. Sprinklng positive
thoughts in the sands of time.
As we look upon the sea of suffering
humanity, extend a hand to the needy.
Wrap strong arms around them, embracing
from life's storms.
Strive to bring peace and harmony to
all men.
Ban together as a people like the prophets
of old, cryig in the wilderness. No longer
will our children suffer. Enough is enough.
As a people who believes in the welfare
of all humans. A peaceful co-existence
between all people, and nations. We are
all truely from Adam's Rib.
The God of the universe will surely show
us the way to peace and prosperity.
Let us use our talents wisely, as they
have been given. To those whom much is
given, much is required.
Let us be responsible travelers in this
life time, trying to make a difference,
and say,
Come let us reason together.
