The secret of a leader lies in the tests he has faced over the whole course of his life and the habit of action he develops in meeting those tests.

My Test
My fault lies in the tests not passed,
On the relics I have inscribed my answers
To the tests of my life.
For this the tremendous work has believed
Going with a success,
But this has only beaten everyone,
Only everyone has been subjugated
And all have destroyed the destroyed.
Whoever failed the test has been annexed,
For me, they are conquered by it.

More Exams Please
I am super crazy about the school exams
For I think they don’t let my grey cells jam
And what makes me sad is that they are few and far
The new board rule of a few exams is so bizarre
Everything we do should be evaluated and tested
If fact there should be a test on sleeping too
So that I enjoy the task and don’t feel depreciated
What fun tests are, all the weekly, monthly, bi yearly, yearly and of course the surprise tests!
My life is full of tests in the school, in the tuition cases, and the tests in judo and guitar classes just adds to the fests.
What more can a child ask for but, evaluated every second of their life for everything they do
Hey how about exam on breathing, eating and even smiling
Can’t wait can you?
And since we are on the topic of education can someone increase the load of homework too?

Best Friend Around
Your eyes say it all
Says your silent sigh
Through the day and nightfall
The sufferings under the sky!
Reflects your face
The apathy of earthmen
That tests your muteness
Tests limit of your pain!
You are loyal you abide
Break yet never bend
In life's uneven ride
Man's best friend!

Nuclear Testing
Nuclear tests in the Marshall Islands
Nuclear tests in the Soviet`s Kazakhstan
A mushroom of clouds
from the ground and the ocean
leaves a never ending legacy
of disfigured faces,
of mothers with jellyfish babies
of graves from cancerous tumors
in the human bodies,
and the continuing horror
of the rays of atomic tests.
Nuclear test in its horror
and legacy will forever dwell
in the memory of our fragile humanity.

No More Homework, No More Tests
(I was going through my cousins papers after he died and found this. I decided to put this up here today... he left all his works of peoetry to me and some of them we wrote together. I may start to put up some of his poetry on here, i dunno.)
No more homework! No more tests!
We the students of the USA certainly agree,
That’s that the thing for me.
Now I am elected,
To tell you all,
It was a all around vote, we all defiantly agree,
That no more homework, no more tests,
Are the things for us students you see.
We already learn, and (devote) we hope, hours of our time.
So I hope you can agree and certainly see the point we are making.
Less grading for you, more fun for us,
So please, we beg you,
No more homework! No more tests!

The fact that we don't keep repeating tests in the same arena is not because the probability of the hypothesis showing its falsity in other arenas goes up after it has passed tests in one arena.

HE or S HE!
If someone is full of love and constant care,
He wouldn't have given the human the tests,
Tests of various kinds, a few without food,
To check how they stay calm hiding their weep,
With acidic stomachs, torn clothes and top,
Sometimes He shows His only eye wide open,
Torching all greens and makes the beasts thirsty,
Tests not only for the human, even for plants and animals,
After testing He may be sad to cry loud,
Changing elixir into the stormy waves,
When He is in a very bad mood,
He punches the mother earth with all His might,
Our earthly mother suffers not in silence,
but Vomit the lava with regurgitating movement,
The way He plays with the air, water, fire,
And earth may be fun to Him, but not to us,
We are the only species in the whole of universe,
Worship the tormentor, who test us with hard lessons,
Every second of our life, when He is quite and happy,
She provides everything what we need as a mother,
Asks us many times whether we have our meals or not,
Makes us to wear perfect attires for her amusement,
Gives us luxury to plunge and then go back to her lap,
As the kids, Let Her learn the secret of how not to let,
The He out of her to torture and test us day and night.

Experience This
The experience I hold fastens on,
I would like to now climb and pass
The tests of time, the very tests are mine.
Pay for the travellers of space,
Play with sleep up till this date,
May we sit and reply to the innocence.
Preventing us making disorder is the reality
We have to love and cherish,
Performing delivers results.

Time Tests Measures Love Which Endures
time tests measures
love which endures
life clever twists tests
life weighs lovers hearts
'I love you' is an expression of love
'I love you' is testament in DNA time
'I love you' echoes to core of essence
'I love you' as an over used pick up line
'I will' is an intriguing question
'I will' is sealed sacred vow spoken
'I will' is love committed not broken
'I will' is unification creation spoken

Satisfied
Give me your heart to take care of
and I'll see that it won't break.
For I've been in love with you forever
and I know what it will take
to keep you satisfied.
It will take patience. It will take pride
to keep you happy and mine.
I will keep everything that we share
just like a delicate wine
to keep you satisfied.
There will be times when there'll be tests.
I'm sure that they will come.
For no two people can go through life
when the ego won't come undone.
But tests are for those to find a way
to make their love grow strong.
So give me your heart to take care of
and nothing will go wrong.
I'll keep you satisfied.

Oh Where, Oh Where is the Family Physician
Whatever happened
To the family physician?
His genial compassionate
Demeanour had a placebo effect,
And you felt at ease
In his presence.
You were half cured
By his kind words.
He could diagnose
By studying your pulse.
He really had the
Touch of a magician.
Now there is
A specialist for every part
Of your anatomy.
When unwell
You go to see him.
Without looking you
In the eye,
He will ask you
What brings you by?
In a tone
Devoid of emotion,
Says we’ll investigate
And do some tests.
When you are done
And armed with a file
Go back and wait for your turn.
Feeling tense and fragile.
After going through your file,
He looks at you with disdain in his eyes.
Everything is fine,
It’s just in your mind.
And scribbles
A prescription in his illegible hand
For sedatives,
And advice to make life style changes.
Exasperated
You look for alternatives.
I suspect even if they have a clue,
It’s a simple case of flu,
They send you for tests
As they get handsome cuts from labs.
Oh where, oh where
Is the family physician,
He didn’t send you
For invasive tests,
And several opinions
He really had
The touch of a magician.

Complexities
Each one of us has a world of our own
Where this is the kingdom of perfection
Too perfect and without limitation
We keep on coming here off and on
Sometimes, round and round, we travel too far
Instinctively in an idled war
Between true and false or right and wrong
Then we stop! And these dreams were all thrown
Life is faultless in this world we each own
But we got much to learn outside its room
Known to earth that life is filled with regression
And often, the visits here are confession
Decors of desires, we spread them here
And glamour in life shows their existence
Then the richness of our dreams will wear
To ache, once more, back to our common sense
That life on earth is full of promises
And we can only have what is from God
Tests after tests; challenge after challenge
Our strength, day by day, it's all we had.

Repetition of the same thought or physical action develops into a habit which, repeated frequently enough, becomes an automatic reflex.

NB
Many people don't know that some of the most popular brands such as Colgate/Palmolive, Procter & Gamble, and L'Oreal fund cruel and unnecessary tests that burn, poison, and kill millions of animals every year. You can help to convince these companies to quickly adopt
humane alternatives to animal tests by demanding that animal tested cosmetics be banned

Hurdles
With every mountain, that we climb
there is another not far behind.
With every joy that we have
sadness somewhere will raise its head.
With everything that is good
there is always an element of bad.
So life drives us onwards
with more hurdles in the way
and as we over come them
more are always put in the way.
Like little tests, we have to do
to see our life through.

Vindictivity
Suddenly those once feeling victimized,
By others who found it easy...
To slander and despise them with creative lies,
Have found that keeping faith
Propels them above such pests.
Forgiving with hearts that forget...
And being themselves to allow passing petty tests.
'Vindictivity' doesn't cross their minds!
'Vindicitivty' is no friend for them to find.
Leaving behind such sad affairs to those,
Stylish in resentment...
And dressed with frowns exposed!
Rolling eyes and casting glares.
As if these postures,
Warrant a retort of childish dares.
Could care less to participate in such affairs...
The life they choose to live,
Is in a goodness fulfilled...
And they thrill to flaunt it with flair.
'Vindictivity' doesn't cross their minds!
'Vindictivity' is no friend for them to find.
Leaving behind such sad affairs to those,
Stylish in resentment...
And dressed with frowns exposed!
Suddenly those once feeling victimized,
By others who found it easy...
To slander and despise them with creative lies,
Have found that keeping faith
Propels them above such pests.
Forgiving with hearts that forget...
And being themselves to allow passing petty tests.
