Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge.

There are all kinds of sources of our knowledge; but none has authority … The fundamental mistake made by the philosophical theory of the ultimate sources of our knowledge is that it does not distinguish clearly enough between questions of origin and questions of validity.

One Long Love Song (III)
the waves will come, We just have to keep dangling our bare feet
new waves of poets shall shower the land with Knowledge and Nutrition,
Pure visionary genius,
we're all one continuous stream of consciousness, Amazing on so many levels,
Let us all Stay Strong, Keep that creativity flowing, writing poems about the truth of nature,
powerful and personal sharing emotion and imagery
Heartfelt, human, tortured and still strong, messages for anyone of any age,
romantic flows, Enduring, pure of heart, Eloquent and oh so touchingly human.
a quest of human transgression, disturbances clinging like lint To the fabric of mind,
people no longer afraid to delve into their own thoughts and face their inner demons,
The heart of courage shall always endure, essential for any personal growth,

Desultoriness
The vagaries of experience and emotion
Carry such weight, like waves of might,
Whose strength is in the waters of the ocean -
There is one who knows the flows of life best
And moves through it all,
The rises, the falls, the work and the rest -
All that we are, and feel
Absurdity and necessity,
Living metaphors of truth so real -
The human affinity to find the Inexplicable
Courts the call of it all,
Through days and nights, seeming so typical -
The greatly troubled human incongruity
Is mystically found and bound,
Within each human heart beat, filled with the blood of Divinity -

Good Behavior and courtesy are needed for everything!
It is a common scene
At the market
When we go for shopping
The sellers sell their goods
The customers buy
But good behavior and courtesy are needed among them
Prophet Zabber Ibn Abdullah (RA) said Allah shows his mercy and love towards those who have patience and good courtesy
Even the sellers and customers
Should have patience, speak with good courtesy and posses good behavior
As a result, their relationship become sweet
And they are blessed by Allah! !

Jesus Is The Main Man
Jesus is the main man.
That's it.
No more comments!
Jesus is the main man.
You can zip your parted lips, now!
Jesus is the main man.
Forget those pity stops at pits.
Jesus is the main man.
This you 'must' admit, now!
Jesus is the main man.
That's it.
No more comments on it made...
To degrade or say what else may fit.
Jesus is the main man.
Know this,
And get lifted quick!
Jesus is the main man.
Understand this as best you can.
Jesus is the main man.
Commanded when you pray,
Now!
Jesus is the main man.
That's it...
No need for further comments on it!
Jesus is the main man.
He's like a gift one gets,
To share unlimited!
Jesus is the main man.
It's hard to sit still,
When something received
Is known
To be real!

One Emotion After Another
Its just one emotion after another
They will dress themselves as angels and theives
They will make you believe youre in heaven
Then theyll drag you through hell on your knees
Its just one emotion after another
One day Im up just as high as it goes
Next day Im down to the lowest of lows
I do love you baby but we cant get along
With or without each other its al right or its all wrong
Its hard to determine where the balance should be
We swear its forever while were packing to leave
Each time we end it I swear never again
But the minute you come knockin I cant wait to let you in
Its just one emotion after another
They will dress themselves as angels and theives
They will make you believe youre in heaven
Then theyll drag you through hell on your knees
Its just one emotion after another
Its been that way since lovim began
Like an ocean love flows with its highs and its lows
Like the tide it just goes out and in
Its just one emotion after another
Its just one emotion after another
But I guess thats just the way that it goes
Love is rainbow and rain, love is pleasure and pain
I cannot stay the same I suppose
But I love you and thats all I know

Sonnet: On Knowledge
Knowledge is one thing priceless, people want;
Knowledge is something gained by labor long;
Knowledge is infinite; master, you-can't;
Knowledge is changeable, much like a song.
Knowledge is deeper than the oceans deep;
Knowledge is larger than the Universe;
Knowledge is barely in life, just a peep;
Knowledge if badly used becomes God's curse.
Knowledge remains undiminished, tho' you- share;
Knowledge gives man, a civilised outlook;
Knowledge if improper, you ought to pare;
Knowledge is gained from Nature and by book.
Knowledge can make a man a wiser one;
Knowledge gives Wisdom in the longer run.

Sonnet: Knowledge
Deny thee Knowledge never in this world,
Which is something better than even gold;
He is a fool, who knowledge never gains,
Remaining so forever if he feigns.
Knowledge makes a human very wise,
Scholarly, good in demeanor and nice;
Knowledge helps man to know the universe,
And goads him earn more wealth to fill purse.
Knowledge makes a man more cultured in life,
Gives him the courage to overcome strife;
Knowledge takes him near to the Maker;
Man knows God’s love for His beloved creature.
Gaining knowledge is a must in this world,
And helps him always till he is too old!

It is not so for art in appreciation because art is concerned with human behavior. And science is concerned with the behavior of metal or energy. It depends on what the fashion is. Now today it's energy. It's the same soul behind it. The same soul, you see.

I
I
we don’t know where it is located
whether I is in the brain
only exist in the human mind
or just an emotion
place beneath the skin
ego
the I
is the letter, found in the center of pride
the reason of most humiliation
condemnation
depression
when pride overpowers humility
when unforgiveness clouds the inner spirit
but we can banish this I-seeking self
by changing our I-belief
what you believe is the cause
of your personality
becomes your thought
your habit
your character
your behavior
and your destiny
your belief determines your reaction
to every life situation
your choices
and it influences your emotion.
Belief defines who you are
loving or unlovable
skillful or not
creative or not
Intelligent or not
In control, grounded or not
So change what you believe
you are one of the pieces in life’s puzzle
change your belief
change your I ams
I am happy
I am lovable
I am overjoyed
I am energized
delighted
Creative
Change your intentions
Change your thoughts
Change your beliefs
make the best of your I
