Thus a man was born into a fixed relation to certain gods as surely as he was born into a relation to his fellow-men; and his religion... was simply one side of the general scheme of conduct prescribed for him by his position as a member of society.

Born To Be Loved By You
Borne again.
Because have you at just being borne again.
At last I feel that Im alive and more.
This is the moment Ive waited for.
Born to be loved by you.born to be loved by you.
Born to walk with you.born to talk with you.
I was born for you.
Born to be with you, only you.
Born to be loved by you.
Born for you, born for you baby.
Born for you, born for you baby.
Born for you, born to be loved by you
(you and only you) born to be with only you.
I look at you and all at once I know that dreams come true.
For there you are the other part of me.
I have found my destiny.
Born to be loved by you.born to be loved by you.
Right or wrong for you.weak or strong for you.
Faithful or untrue
Born chained forever and far beyond.
Born to be loved by you and only you
No one else will do.
Heart and soul,born to be loved
Born to be loved.born to be loved by you.
(you and only you,born to be with only you)
Born for you.born for you baby.
Born for you.born for you baby.
Born for you, born for you baby..

Religion always remains higher than everyday life. In order to make the elevation towards religion easier for people, religion must be able to alter its forms in relation to the consciousness of modern man.

Reverse has to happen.
Religion was born to refine man
Man has to be born to refine the religion.
God was born to keep man.
Man has to be born to define the God.

I Was Not When You Were Born, You Were Old When I Was Born
I was not when you were born,
You were old when I was born.
You regret that I was late born,
I regret that you were early born.
I was not when you were born,
You were old when I was born.
I wished to have been born together,
We could enjoy our time together.
You were not when I was born,
I was old when you were born.
I was so far away from you,
You were so distant from me.
You were not when I was born,
I was old when you were born.
I’d become a flower-seeking butterfly,
And sleep on the fragrant grass every night.

Woman gave way to man
The Goddess was the first born.
Far later only was born the God.
Matrilineal was the society.
Woman was supreme in the households.
Man wanted to identify his son
Patriarchal society was thus born.
The goddess became the God’s Consort,
Thanks to the established religions.

Inevitable conclusion
Inevitable.
All who are born will surely die.
Nobody can escape their fate
Be they of high or low estate.
We may not know the reason why.
Each one of us will have to wait.
All who are born will surely die
This is a truth none can deny.
We must accept that soon or late
Our time will come Death will not wait.
All who are born will surely die.

Hell Will Not Fall
Hell will not fall if someone tells you
Needs no company and go through
What is the problem if one wants to hurt?
Why to be bothered about reply considered being curt?
It does not strengthen any of the side
The differences persist and become very wide
You will never prefer to see eye to eye
More questions about everything and no earnest try
It concerns no one
But may affect some one
It will make everybody unhappy
No time to be grieved and feel sorry
It makes you exposed and vulnerable
You may not be in position or capable
It will land you in unexpected trouble
Complete weight may make you crumble
No one is bad and should not be taken otherwise
The break in relation is total surprise
It was never intended or willingly shaped
The break down is not worth to be clapped
If someone exclaims joy over it
Then he is totally unaware and unfit
The relation has got tremendous endurance
You can’t think of coming out of it at once
It has something to do with our precious life
As it has proved double edged weapon like knife
No one can endure sufferings and unhappiness alone
It may have devastation affect heavy of cyclone
Love the way and like the behavior
Some of the differences may be very minor
Yet we take high note of it and spoil the relation
No doubt should be left in mind for raising the question

Theatre Of The Absurd
All of us are born ignorant and some
Of us remain that way I’m sad to say.
The knowledgeable flourish and become
The shepherds, the dumb just piddle away
Their lives like sheep in a grassy pasture.
The ignorance in our society
Exists through our own design I am sure
To guarantee an apt propriety.
Without the sheep there can be no shepherds
Therefore a symbiotic relation
Plays in the theater of the absurd.
There's no appropriate explanation.
Don’t even attempt to state a notion.
Our roles are predetermined one by one.

Low Society
A judge a dentist or physician
In this low society
Trade ambition for position
In this low society
Have you heard its in the stars
Next july we collide with mars
Have you heard it in the bars
In this low society
No more pay and lots of leisure
In this low society
Low society
Im just doing what I can
In this low society
But Im an incidental man
In this low society
I give away what others sell
The secrets yours so never tell
cos if you do youll go to hell
Low society
Side by side and always tired
All for one and no-one hired
All thats left is love inspired
Low society
And when the party is complete
And youre still standing on your feet
The taste of victory is sweet
Low society
And darling dont forget
In this low society
To turn off your t.v. set
In this low society
The most important thing at all
In this low society
Is not to stand too tall
In this low society
In this world that never learns
I can see rome as it burns
All the passion and the power
Turns to ash within an hour
No more play and no more pleasure
In this low society

Born with Pride
Born with pride
When she was born,
She never cried
Born with dreams
Pretty eyes open wide
Born without tears
No lies to seek or hide
Born without fears,
On her beautiful little mind
Born to live
to love to give
To suffer to loose
Everything
Born with pride
Died in vain
Agony and pain
Hurt and shame
The lady had died
Her baby was born
With no pride
And with nothing
On his side

The relation dilutes.
We two were one as sons,
A pair as brothers, two as fathers
And aliens as grandfathers
In our relation as we grew up.
The time will dilute the relation.

Shed Under Tree
I am misunderstood by my actions
I can visibly read their reactions
Neither can I claim that good
Not I perform poorly or that bad
May be some other definition is awaited
They have always laughed at me and taunted
How could I find out the reason?
As no one is willing to consider me as good person
I would love prove myself very right
Even I shall offer to go for right cause and fight
I am picking little clues about their irritation
I think I am poorly painted with that relation
May be I am little hasty
May be my words are not that sweet or tasty
From the beginning I have lacked the politics
In today’s date it is considered as very basis
I have fewer friends and more critics
They are intelligent people with good sense of clerics
They want everything to be presented in precise terms
This attitude only fails me and turns against
Sometimes I wish for their funeral
Join in procession and offer tribute of floral
But certainly that position may be taken over by somebody else
The position will remain same and not changed hence
Person can remain greedy and self centered
He will be respected and good position offered
People respect and favor the favorable wind
Where is the time with them for true things to find?
I wish to confine and stay alone
But not waiting for times to be gone
As it will amount to be wasting time and be selective
God will not forgive me fore remaining inactive
Life is not meant for simply eating and spending
Animals do the same and thus simply ending
It must be offered not fully but to lesser degree
Like offering shed as is done by giant tree
Life must have some kind of orientation
It need not be puzzled with many questions
It has very short and limited duration
If we can use it for strengthening the relation

As promised
He did not turn up as per promise
I knew well in advance that he may surely miss
I still wanted to make it sure for healthy relation
Some how I had bad inkling with no sound indication
He seemed to me as a disgruntled man
Some of his utterances were not good for woman
He disrespected woman in many regards
I was making up my mind not to go in and move forward
I took a calculated risk to give him fair chance
Bluffed him that I have decided to desert home at once
I would be meeting him at an appointed hour
We would then be leaving for unknown destination as tour
He could not decline further as this was going to be crucial
Neither his excuses were favoring nor his weak denial
I waited for him to prove his trustworthiness and reliability
It was rightly going to prove his sincerity and capability
It struck my mind what would happen if he turns out wrong?
I shall have to reconsider my opinion and certainly to go along
It was half given chance to weigh the decision in favor or against
I was not to loose anything as it was solely done on my behest
How easily the relation turn sour if no proper thought is given?
How the girls find themselves in helpless position if stupidly driven?
The tender age does not give them enough chance to think right
They are easily subdued and persuaded not to put resistance and fight
It is good to know a person or girl before entering into alliance
Both can have enough of time to think for expecting any reliance
It definitely gives some indication how far they can go ahead
Whether it will right for them to have nice life to be lead
Not all the bonds result into failure
Some of there are secured and very sure
It is total commitment for the long relation
Something unexpected is ruled out of question
Not all the moves can be suspected
The relation as such must be respected
You will not know a person even if reasonable time is spent
The deception and desertion at any level make anybody totally silent
I learnt a lesson not to trust blindly
It has to be looked from right angle and kindly
It is possible that you are simply lead into believe
The factual things may be different even if you disbelieve
