It is in the admission of ignorance and the admission of uncertainty that there is a hope for the continuous motion of human beings in some direction that doesn't get confined, permanently blocked, as it has so many times before in various periods in the history of man.

Saturated In a Marination
'It's a devastating thing...
For one who chooses to think,
And surrounded by mindless human beings! '
Ignorance for what it is,
Is a most difficult thing...
For one to overcome!
Not everyone can resist this pull.
Not all are prone,
To sit alone in isolation.
To satisfy a thinking sensation!
'It's a devastating thing...
For one who chooses to think,
And surrounded by mindless human beings! '
And that's what it takes,
To break from the commonness of it!
Ignorance can be comforting.
Especially when so many,
Have been bred and born to feed on it.
Saturated in a marination...
Seeped with ingredients,
That produce clowns to fool around.
Displaying condoned qualities of misfits.
'It's a devastating thing...
For one who chooses to think,
And surrounded by mindless human beings! '
Is it an illness...
Ever to be cured?
And chased away from its endurance?
Ever to be blocked and knock out...
Never to regain a need for it to remain unchanged?
'It's a devastating thing...
For one who chooses to think,
And surrounded by mindless human beings! '
Ignorance can not be that deep of an affliction!
Why is it so craved?
Why is it chosen...
To wallow in and stay?
'It's a devastating thing...
For one who chooses to think,
And surrounded by mindless human beings! '
Wanting to comprehend and understand...
May today be the most dangerous weapon.
For inquisitive children.
Or thoughtful women.
Or the deeds of a concerned,
And caring man!
Even when this is done,
It is best not to be seen.
By anyone!
On any surfaced scene.
Where they will be demeaned.
Avoiding suspicion,
Should be the condition...
Of one who chooses to connect with thought.
Selecting that as an escape.
An undercover mission!
'It's a devastating thing...
For one who chooses to think,
And surrounded by mindless human beings! '

The climbing the ladder
Success is a pass
For admission to a bigger game.
Its success is a pass
For admission to the still bigger.
The process continues
Till failure got its turn.
The fall is in proportion
To the climb in a ladder.

Time Immemorial
Start in the way that you want to go on
Tear down the fence that you sit upon
It was good while it lasted but now it has gone
So face up to what you have done
For time immemorial, time immemorial, time
A glorious contest to find the invincible one
And I will know everything there is
Goodbye to you and your money
And I will go anywhere you say
If you take away all the cameras
The house that we live in is falling apart
There's no guarantee coz we got it for free
And all the pretenders to somebody's throne
Are finding it out on there own
For time immemorial, time immemorial, time
We'll go on a mission to find the invincible one
And I will know everything there is
Goodbye to you and your public
And I will go everywhere you say
If you don't charge admission
Okay, we're lucky, but then again...
For time immemorial, time immemorial, time
We'll go on a mission to find the invincible one
And I will know everything there is
Goodbye to you and your money
And I will go anywhere you say
If you sell me shown the secrets of your house
And I will know everything you say
Take away all the cameras, the cameras
And I will go anywhere you say
If you don't charge admission, admission

A special space
You have been sent here as special case
You are not comfortable and at ease
You are not at all involved in any race
You have still to bear pain and face
Though you have occupied holy position
You have tough and not easy transition
From baby till the attainment of motherhood
You have passed through and understood
It is deliberate attempt to denigrate
No one can feel the plight and narrate
It is not simple matter to be taken lightly
Nothing goes on smoothly or to be taken rightly
You are confined till babies groom
There is no open space for you in room
You are all devoted for any movement
Though it is considered s glorious moment
Nothing is possible for human beings to consider
She is there for all the times to act as insider
She may not complaint for ill treatment or insult
There maybe some change as result
We bow our head as mark of respect
We need to search the soul and inspect
She has not entered any deal of her own
We must get on well with her and not down
She looks towards sky not aimlessly
She acts fast but not helplessly
It is her resolve to stand fast
To bring everybody out till the last
Let all the mothers and females rule
The legitimate place with special role
We need to place them on top of the ladder
It is highly sensitive but ordinary matter
We may be failing in our mission
There has to be frank admission
We need to realize the complex nature
We can at least show respect and assure

With Admission Acquisitioned
You let a fishing for your mission...
Get out of hand,
And...
You let too many you would listen,
Take more a stand...
And,
'Something' inside you felt missing...
And then you ran,
Away!
You don't need permission,
To be,
Magic!
Turn on that ignition,
With admission acquisitioned.
You don't need permission,
To be,
Magic!
Turn on that ignition,
With admission acquisitioned.
You let a fishing for your mission...
Get out of hand,
And...
You let too many you would listen,
Take more a stand...
And,
'Something' inside you felt missing...
And then you ran,
Away!
When you entered on this Earth,
You were a miracle at birth...
And,
You don't need permission,
To be,
Magic!
Turn on that ignition,
With admission acquisitioned.
And,
You don't need permission,
To be,
Magic!
When you entered on this Earth,
You were a miracle at birth!
Turn on that ignition,
With admission acquisitioned.
And fly.
If you only see it,
You will never disbelieve...
You can fly!
You let a fishing for your mission...
Get out of hand,
And...
You let too many you would listen,
Take more a stand...
And,
'Something' inside you felt missing...
And then you ran,
Away!

A great idea is usually original to more than one discoverer. Great ideas come when the world needs them. Great ideas surround the world's ignorance and press for admission.

This Isn't Science
Why is it,
That when someone has decided...
To leave others alone and their foolishness,
Sends out a signal...
That what the person is really seeking,
Is attention.
So 'they', the 'others', have decided,
This is just a phase someone is going through...
And they will remain the fools,
They believe endears them to others.
And they do choose to stay the fools with solicitation,
That popularizes with encouragement the entire population.
'Sometimes ignorance is bliss.'
Okay.
Point out one person,
That has become blissed as a benefit...
By their admission to being ignorant.
Just one.
'That is a challenge.
Especially when no one admits it.'
That's the problem!
Everyone wants to teach their method,
Of ignorance...
To discourage anyone making attempts,
To escape from it.
'So what is it you suggest we should do? '
Continue to pretend we are intelligent.
People will leave us alone.
This isn't science.
But trust me...
It works!

By All Means... Continue Your Tease
When an admission of caring for another,
Begins for the other...
A reason to establish a game of playing,
'Let Me See You Chase'.
Such a mistake this becomes,
For the one believing...
To be chased makes one's heart race.
With a pacing done in an excitement.
An admission of caring for another,
The other may not realize can be stopped.
To be replaced.
Especially if something felt is genuine.
With an awakening that creates,
An acknowledgement that comes much too late...
That the one who runs away from someone's caring done,
May find themselves with a gift the other does not get!
With far less exhaustion to give in the giving that ends.
'I thought you said you liked me.'
Oh I did with a caring done too.
But prepared for a marathon in the proving of it,
Is not what I give in the expectation in establishing...
A relationship.
'So you don't like me anymore? '
I cared for 'you' not the 'race' you wanted to see me win,
In a chase.
'I was just teasing...
That's all.'
You may be good.
Continue the tease.
However...
Someone else will find that out before I will,
Wont they?
And it will not be me.
By all means...
Continue your tease.

Less Celebrated With Collective Introspection
The lights.
The festivities of excitement,
With an admission of hope.
The anticipation that delights,
One in patient waiting.
As colorful gifts wrapped,
Under a decorated Christmas tree...
Keep these traditions kept sacred.
Although the purpose and meaning,
Are less celebrated with collective introspection.

Solid Is This Knowledge
Phased out!
From admission and conditions,
Of doubt.
They're phased out.
And solid is this knowledge.
Phased out!
From admission and conditions,
Of doubt.
They're phased out.
No needs I have for worries,
Or doubts!
They're phased out.
No rush to hustle bustled in a scurried hurry.
Or haggard by a nag,
Wishing to dump on me baggage.
No needs I have for worries,
Or doubts!
They're phased out.
And solid is this knowledge.
Phased out!

Admission by the defendant is worth a hundred witnesses.
Human Beings
Human being beings are strange in being human,
Strange in love and art and vice,
Strange in being nice
Human beings are strangers in the night
Lights shining on a starry night
No sooner blinked out they are gone
A stranger in the human race
Keeping up keeping face,
Moving on
In crowds and queues and buses
Walking alone at ten
Human beings in being human
Make the strangest men
Not easy to be read,
Or clothed or fed
Or put to bed
Each thought entwined
Lives over signed overlapped
Smaller beings kept but not as 'pets'
Sometimes feel 'trapped'
For human beings are best when left at sea
Frantic firey disordered unchained set free
Their limpet souls make rocks their strange security
For love for life for space,
Human beings are strangest in 'The Human Race'
