Very Difficult to Achieve
Some folks achieve notoriety,
Based upon the quantity of their work.
Not as a result of the quality...
That can be observed.
However,
With a touch of therefore.
It is very difficult to achieve,
A sustained quality!
Well...
For some!
But after a while it really doesn't matter.
Folks will diminish one's ability,
To sustain a quality with quanity.
It happens.
Since the familiarity of it being delivered,
Becomes taken for granted.
Try maintaining substance over time.
It can be done.
But not recommended.
Folks don't associate work with it!
And sooner or later...
Whatever it is becomes disrespected.
For the uniqueness of its delivery.
And deduced as something that was done too easy.
And sleazing it becomes even easier.
Especially by those who rise in the morning...
Prepared to critique,
As part of what it is done they do...
To participate in this experience called life.
We all have a need to fulfill something we regard,
As valued by somebody, somewhere.
And so we do it.
Most times without thought at all.

Challenges
Who is a thief?
Who is a spy?
Who is your lover?
The deciding factor is like your muse;
But always be ready to take up the challenges of life.

Great cataclysmic things can go by and neither the orchestra nor the conductor are under the delusion that whether they make this or that gesture is going to be the deciding factor in how it comes out.

On Two Legs
The most dangerous wolf walks on two legs around us,
And like the deciding factor of our lives;
But distinguish from what is right and wrong,
And try to focus on your dreams always.

Commitment
Commitment is
An oath one makes
After reaching the deciding factor
That it takes, what it takes
Whether the oath brings the world's
approval or acknowledgement or not
It's all real
Completely genuine
Not at all fake
100% of
total effort
Is what most people desires
For life requires,
tenacity is also
what it takes

The Only Person
Dog, god, bog, hog, log, cog, fog, jog, tog, wog;
But it begins with you and me!
And the only person you can change first is yourself,
For life is all about changes.
The deciding factor,
Base your love on the truth always!
And let the birds fly above the earth;
For the seed-bearing plants and trees are always around us.

Happy Married Life
High salaried income,
Deciding factor,
Happy married life.
Month-end dinner
Dining in posh restaurant,
Happy married life.
Long week end,
Joyful picnic,
Happy married life.

Few Would Be Here
If truth was the foundation,
Of what many claim is valued...
Few would be here to experience life,
If truth was a factor used at all.

Helping Tendency Of Your Relatives
The quality of the nine precious stones
is valued after properly washing the dirts;
The quality of the horse is ascertained
after mounting the horse over the saddle;
The impurities and the purity of the gold
are confirmed after melting the gold;
The thankfulness and helping tendency
of your relatives, you will come to know only
when you lost your wealth and be poor!

The quality of mercy (conditions apply)
The quality of mercy,
Portia declared,
the quality of mercy is
suspended during the present conflict
the quality of mercy is
not the business of a Minister of Justice
the quality of mercy is
not a matter of individual conscience
the quality of mercy is
too subtle for public discussion
or law
the quality of mercy is
only for Shakespeare and stuff
the quality of mercy is
less stimulating than revenge
the quality of mercy is
no business of yours
the quality of mercy is
no concern of religious authorities
who should stay silent
the quality of mercy is
an outdated concept
the quality of mercy is
nothing to do with forgiveness
or circumstantial evidence
or the remission of sins
the quality of mercy is
no longer a matter of pride
the quality of mercy is
no longer a mark of humanity
the quality of mercy
would be OK if Obama said so
the quality of mercy
is one hell of a hot potato
cooked in oil
the quality of mercy
droppeth as the gentle
dew from heaven
upon a broken fuselage
and it is too much
or too little
for our understanding.

There are words that work, that are meant to explain and educate on policies that work, on products that work, on services that work. I'm not going to ever try to sell a lemon. I don't do that.

Where Has That Quality Of Life Gone Today?
Those that grow old but not 'up',
Live lives in recycled patterns.
A process that benefits routine...
Within set limitations,
That have come to demean common sense.
Those living to break away from those 'molds',
Had been referred to as nonconformists at one time.
Now the 'mavericks' have replaced them,
With no concern for the quality of life.
And when nonconformists were shunned...
They sought a better way of life for everyone.
And many attempted to do this,
Without the purchasing and selling...
Of illegal weapons such as guns.
And where has that quality of life gone today?
To the pleading of the needs of those greedy...
Who have left that quality of life stray,
Into corrupted decay.
With other 'necessities' politically and religiously valued.

Methods Used To Assess
People have come to assess and evaluate others,
On standards that have been chosen as long valued.
Only to discover those long valued standards,
And the people assessed by an evaluation conducted...
Have their own methods used to assess others as well.
With values they possess but not as openly expressed.
And that is one reason not given to others with interests,
They have a preference for keeping to themselves.

As The World Goes On Without Any Special Need Of My Services
AS THE WORLD GOES ON WITHOUT ANY SPECIAL NEED OF MY SERVICES
As the world goes on without any special need for my services
I sit and write my little poems
Even the lives of those most cared about by me
Go on now largely without my help -
Being old is often being irrelevant
And so I so often am now -
I write these words too
As if I understand
That those who share my feeling and situation
Will not necessarily be moved or helped by them.

Services defined.
Helps for wages aren’t services.
Helps for a favour or fair woman
Cannot be held as services.
Yet such services get merit
If performed as an alternative
To a lucrative jobs at hand.

Only to be blamed
We are only to be blamed
No one has so far claimed
The root cause of our down fall
And never responded to real call
Why to blame nature and mentality?
Are we not product of same quality?
Same piece carved out from earthen clay
Different toys given to understand and play
We teach our children not to be fearless
We frighten them with ghost‘s face
We remind them of dark clouds and black night
Forbid them from leaving the house to avoid fight
“Don’t get beaten by any child” we advise
“If you sense the trouble, leave the filed”
Don’t pick unnecessary scuffles and rush to home
We will give them such a teachings which is hostile and unwelcome
Such children may be short sighted and work for narrow interest
They will give more importance to lip services and try to extract best
Such tendency prevails on large scale and hence we can expect no miracle
The whole world revolves round same strategy and with same circle
History has witnessed enough of destruction with no long time solution
Countries come together with bold announcements and resolutions
Yet nothing comes out of it and whole world is on top of volcano
Nobody is sure when it will erupt and work as inferno
We have to change mental out look and education
Recent development is mere repetition and clear indication
We have become intolerant and less receptive
We want others to surrender and remain captive
Let world breath free environment
Same rights for all with common movement
If woman is assured of her rightful place
I think world has reason to have cheers on face
