Our society is illuminated by the spiritual insights of the Hebrew prophets. America and Israel have a common love of human freedom, and they have a common faith in a democratic way of life.

Every society rests in the last resort on the recognition of common principles and common ideals, and if it makes no moral or spiritual appeal to the loyalty of its members, it must inevitably fall to pieces.

A Rarity In America [Reality]
Common sense in America
Is not that common
It's extremely limited in America
It is satisfactory in its own lies
It is glorious of this flaw
When will America wake?
And remove the errors
Of this mistake

Towards the animal world
Towards the animal world
His foot touches his foot.
He became angry.
Quarrel starts between two.
Such scenes are common at public places.
Human beings is quarrelling each others
On small things to which they must avoid
Cruelty is growing in our society day by day.
Patience is reducing day by day.
Kindness & love among us is decreasing day by day.
Hatred ness is increasing day by day among us.
Which is a very bad thing?
People are ignoring the teachings of Lord Jesus Christ, Lord Buddha & other saints.
It is also a very unfortunate for our human society.
Violence, hate redness & quarrel are common in animal world.
Is human society advancing towards the animal world?

Only weeks after Oslo began, when nearly all the world and most of Israel was drunk with the idea of peace, I argued that a Palestinian society not constrained by democratic norms would be a fear society that would pose a grave threat to Israel.

We must rekindle the fire of idealism in our society — for nothing suffocates the promise of America more than unbounded cynicism
and indifference. We must reclaim the tradition of community in our society. Only by recognizing that we share a common obligation to one another and to our country can we ever hope to maximize our national or personal potential. We must reassert the oneness of America. America has been and must once again be the seamless web of caring and community.

18.08.2009 Creative Diversity
The miracles and wonders done by God in no way
invalidates the mandate of other nation states to
follow their own revelation of deity, Israel has right
of place amongst everybody, attempts to wipe
them off the earth lead to intervention
By universal consciousness which respects all life
Israel must fulfil its role within the colourful mosaic
of humanity, Israel respects and protects the right
to life of every other culture, showing the highest
example of integrity
In devotion to ensuring the survival of an ancient
document of immense value for human science,
quantum mechanics explains that everybody
has right of way, caretakers of ancient
documents as well as agnostics
And devoted Muslims, the only requirement is
mutual respect and acceptance, allowing total
freedom in spiritual matters, following a chosen
creed loyally without forcing beliefs on anyone,
realizing diversity in all matters spiritual
Is as creative as diversity in nature and different
human cultures, letting go of the dream to be
supreme, realizing visions of freedom and
respect instead…

We have a close, unshakable bond between the United States and Israel, and between the American and Israeli people. We share common values and a commitment to a democratic future for the world, and we are both committed to a two-state solution. But that doesn't mean that we're going to agree.

Galore Of Disparity
Plenty in poverty
Poverty in plenty
Common in the society
Created by man or Divinity?
Palace like houses on one side
Slums on the other side
Limousines on one side
Hand pulled ricks on the other side
Sky scrappers on one side
Huts of mud on the other side
Common in the society
Created by man or Divinity?
Medinovas and Apollos on one side
Phcs sans Doctors and medicines on the other side
PGs and Phds. on one side
Thumb impressions on the other side
Common in the society
Created by man or Divinity?
Bharath made PSLV-CI carrying overhead
Launching IRS-ID on one side
Scavengercarrying overhead
Human excreta on the otherside
Schools and colleges with high-tech
Libs and Labs on the one side
Schools and colleges sans roofs
Teachers and taught, benches and desks on the other side
Common in the society
Created by man or Divinity?
Galore of disparity
Dividing humanity
Perpetuating adversity
Hampering prosperity
Breeding inequality.
Let's
Bridge the gap through fraternity
Thro' sacrifices and sincerity
Forget poverty and live in prosperity
Ensure equality and improve lif's quality!

For humanism also appeals to man as man. It seeks to liberate the universal qualities of human nature from the narrow limitations of blood and soil and class and to create a common language and a common culture in which men can realize their common humanity.

I Am (Final Chapter)
i am, become...
in closing...
what i wanted to do
with this series was
to expose the heart of
the real America,
to lay it bare,
with all its faults
and weaknesses...
in all its beauty and
simple goodness...
to find a way to unlock
the faith and integrity
of the common..
and call us back to ourselves...
i think i've failed,
but i am human, just like you...
and i want more than anything
to try, to believe, and to change...
walk with me, side by side,
let us find tomorrow!
i am, i am,
America unfolding, dying,
and blooming anew...
i am, become!

I Love You America
I love you America
you work over night
for the human rights
until the sun rise in freedom
I love you so America
anywhere I am far away
but here you make me home
take me to wherever I wanna be
I love you more America
anytime I am being alone
you beside me, know me
and share your life with me

Harmony in Life
Nature churns out poems from the heart of poets;
Poets inspire many hearts to live life of freedom;
Free will inspires many to live life of love here;
But is love easy to show or share or air we breathe?
Commercialised world buys anything with money;
Money and strength physical and material rule all;
Dictate the world by military and democratic rule;
So, where is the place for freedom and love for all?
Civilised society is the hypocrisy of modern world;
Education for freedom covering all is what needed
For all humans to live in harmony with Nature
To enjoy real freedom and love poets dream often!
Human spirit with scientific mind people should live
With education that links literature and science then.

Pisschrist
Where are we now?
When we are blind
Abandoned faith
You left behind
Were you betrayed?
Or did you lie?
Our common fate
Our common demise
Where is the son?
To light the way
Along the path
Of our dismay
Look to the sky
On judgement day
A human god
That was man-made
So we lie
So we lie
So we lie
So we lie
And so we rise
Just to fall down
In reality
You're never found
I'm reaching out
With sealed eyes
I grab for light
Visions decried
Repeat fourth verse
So we lie
So we lie
So we lie
So we lie
Face down

If mind is common to us, then also the reason, whereby we are reasoning beings, is common. If this be so, then also the reason which enjoins what is to be done or left undone is common. If this be so, law also is common; if this be so, we are citizens; if this be so, we are partakers in one constitution; if this be so, the Universe is a kind of Commonwealth.

Today... 'The Glory of Israel
The Glory of Israel is not a mere man
who changes his mind whenever he can.
But He is reliable, faithful and true
and to Him all praise and glory is due.
For the Lord Jesus our Immanuel
is the promised Saviour of Israel.
He was veiled in human flesh when He came
and the Lord Jesus Christ is His great name.
The promised one by all the prophets foretold
Keeps all Israel safely inside His fold.
Tears of sorrow over Jerusalem cried
and for her life laid down His life and died.
A revelation to the Gentiles He brings
And united the whole of creation sings
Of His wondrous glory and of His love
Raising their voices to the Lord above.
