If the demand for home commodities should be diminished, because of the fall of rent on the part of the landlords, it will be increased in a far greater degree by the increased opulence of the commercial classes.

But if inventions have increased man's power over nature very much, then the real value of money is better measured for some purposes in labour than in commodities.

A strong economy causes an increase in the demand for housing; the increased demand for housing drives real-estate prices and rentals through the roof. And then affordable housing becomes completely inaccessible.

Dreams
It seems that most of my dreams fade as fast as September.
Though that failed philosophy class is one I’ll remember.
Since I cut too many classes I couldn’t take the final test;
Flunked the course, didn’t get my degree and negated the rest.
Then there’s the general manager’s job I lost in the Near East.
Since the level of company politics had greatly increased.
Said what I thought which didn’t work worth a damn.
That’s why I find myself right here where I am.
Naked in front of all who pass with only glances so rude.
No compassion though I’m helpless, penniless… and nude.

In bodies moved, the motion is received, increased, diminished, or lost, according to the relations of the quantity of matter and velocity; each diversity is uniformity, each change is constancy.

At The Expense Of Those Who Have Chosen To Deceive
An influence magnifies
By a deliberate undermining...
Of it noticed being diminished,
By those eventually become curious...
As to why restrictions has been placed upon it.
To allow with perceptions increased,
The misdeed done and not the influence achieved...
To get more of the attention than what is being mentioned.
And...
At the expense of those who have chosen to deceive.

When I became governor, spending actually increased 28 percent my first term. Revenue increased 42 percent my first term without raising anybody's taxes. We did it because we had more taxpayers with more taxable income. That's how you get the revenue up. We did that without raising anybody's taxes.

Melting Icebergs
One day...
When the joy of observing others,
Suffer from our aggressions
Have lost their appetite...
We will discover our ambitions have diminished!
And we have had no other purposes to live
But to believe God thought of us as so special
As to bestow upon us with the kind of power
To produce our own self destruction!
Only to find that we blame HIM...
Or HER
Or IT
Or THAT!
For not paying attention to the 'signs' that warn us...
Our egos will never be satisfied,
Until we completely destroy the Earth.
Because 'someone'...
Somewhere
One day
Will eventually think of a brilliant way,
To sell parcels of Heaven so cheaply...
People of lesser means will be 'dieing' to get in!
Able to afford the fee of entry!
Leaving the few that are left,
To kill each other over useless profits
Chipped away
On melting icebergs...
They float upon
And ultimately providing not a shred
Of a lasting benefit!
'Why do you have to be so negative?
The icebergs are melting
Because of the increased demand
For cleaner drinking water!
God is doing that to make us healthier! '

Being A Lover
Why are you angry?
What makes you be this way?
Share your pain with me
I wish you would just talk to me, even if just once
Let me know, how have you been?
Maybe then I would understand you more
As, what lacks between us is the understanding
If it was present, the life would be simply perfect
However, the distance between us always increased
Increased, so much that it even brought the end for us
Do not be angry
Share your sorrow by being my Best Friend
As only then our misunderstanding could ever be solved
Make love to me, even though you know that now only distances are present
Make love to me and change the whole situation by being a lover, instead of a stranger.

If then the prosperity of the commercial classes, will most certainly lead to accumulation of capital, and the encouragement of productive industry; these can by no means be so surely obtained as by a fall in the price of corn.

Affluenza
Affluenza is the new affliction.
It is a fact, not fiction.
Everyone has increased his pace
To join the rat race.
Credit cards and banks offer loans
On the telephone.
Car, home on EMI
At your earliest you must buy.
Malls everyday multiply
It’s a question of demand and supply.
24/7 advertising blitz,
Decisions makers are the kids.
A very dear friend
In a moment of weakness confessed,
Retail therapy is worth a try
When low, it gives a high.
With life style diseases young are down,
Lament doctors with a frown.
The only cure is to simplify,
If at a ripe old age you want to die.

Elegant style
Women are assertive when they talk
With elegant style and walk
If you really dream of ideal woman
You can hardly believe them as strong as man
Yes they have come in to being
Neither as powerful queen of king
Nor as female performer in circus ring
But dedicated female character being
We have confined her role in customary way
She has left it far behind with decisive say
Where are they not seen today?
Almost everywhere for attention to pay
She fits every where in dominating position
In home she has formidable composition
No one can do away without her presence
Home will be reduced to rubble in her absence
In sky they have ruled and on land too
On technology and other fields they have pierced through,
In some of the best economy of world
Many areas have come under their fold
Despite all this, her role has never diminished
The influence is day by day increased but not finished
Even though they may lie low in all the spheres
They have found the way to excel everywhere
Let us make room for them to shine
They can not be neglected or put on side line
They have come into being for playing role
They are capable of responding to any call
