I drink when I have occasion, and sometimes when I have no occasion.

The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew.

On Playing With Sand
Yesterday,
An amendment was made,
Men and women danced,
Goblets stroke in the hall,
To celebrate
An occasion of success.
Today,
The same amendment
Has been undone,
Men and women have danced,
Goblets have stroke in the hall,
To celebrate
An occasion of success.
Tomorrow,
Again the amendment will be made,
Men and women will dance,
Goblets will strike in the hall,
To celebrate
An occasion of success.
This is how our government goes on,
By doing and undoing amendments,
Like children who play on sand,
Make houses, stupas, towers and tombs,
And smash them with kicks,
To make them afresh,
But the difference is they do not celebrate,
An occasion of success.

Start living now. Stop saving the good china for that special occasion. Stop withholding your love until that special person materializes. Every day you are alive is a special occasion. Every minute, every breath, is a gift from God.

I Know You!
I know you very well and deeply so;
But, do not drink any alcohol at any given occasion!
However if you still insist to, then, buy the drink and bring it to your room;
For, i have done enoug for you since all these years.
You've thrown me away like a shredded paper!
But tomorrow comes when you will look back for me;
However, some people only see from the outside of things than the inside.
I do hope to meet you once again,
Because, i always have your love in my heart;
And like a kiss for the first time! !
But, who is now ready to marry a woman who had slept with hundred men? !

Never The Agony
Agitate me not, agonize me never,
Such is the speed of thinking.
Aloud are words of quite a little thought,
The mind differs from occasion to occasion.
This offering is a proud notion
Of the variety we pick like flowers.
The motion of the plants is of the butterfly,
Those in orbit around the world know why.
Their polite quiet is discernable and crazy,
Loathsome is the spirit of walking
In the fashion of a zealot, so speedy
In thinking and so outrageous a personality.
We are not overwhelmed by zealotry
For we speak too many times against them.

Exotic Club
I spend most of my time alone,
Moping around listening to music,
Depressed and brooding,
It is a garment
I’ve grown rather comfortable in.
A friend will on occasion
Drag me out of the house,
Presumably for my own good.
On such an occasion,
A friend persuaded me
Into visiting an exotic club.
I had a beer or two
And closely watched
The lovely movements of the girls.
They were beautiful,
But I mostly felt sad,
I hoped they didn’t hate me
For looking at them all creepy-like.
I then went home
And had another beer
And looked at my old cat;
I was still rather sad but comfortable.

Spineless And Mentally Digressive
Oh I can be quite snide,
If that occasion should arise.
I can sling mud with the best...
If I am challenged to pass that test.
I can also be loving and kind,
With the giving of the shirt off my back.
And those who are aware of that,
Aren't so willing to initate on me their attacks.
Oh I can be quite snide,
If that occasion should arise.
I can sling mud with the best...
If I am challenged to pass that test.
But why should I...
Use that as a weapon,
To defy those who are clearly...
Spineless and mentally digressive.

Cup Of Tea
A cup of tea
A sudden pause
A polite social occasion with the 'best china'
A big white mug with workmans handle to grip
A cup of tea
Some slurp, some sip
A social class of darjeelings and Yorkshire tea
A cup of tea, a mug or flask
Divides the 'workers', from the 'upper class'
Drunk in the morning or precisely at three,
A cup of tea
The soloution when a problem comes,
Lets pause, while someone 'puts the kettle on! '
A cup of tea for every occasion
Marriage, births and deaths,
A cup of tea
A pure nirvana
A simple joy
Eternal happiness!

Tribute To Princess Diana
Blessed Diana, thrilling phrases of love would make a paragraph,
for your much distinguished and magnificent epitaph.
Your slumber to eternity be likened to a sleeping beauty,
who will be awakened by the kiss of a Seraphic prince of immortality.
For a wedding in the heavenly realms forever shall be
an occasion for the heavens and earth to jointly see.
The hierarchy of heaven to grace the occasion,
inhabitants of the earth beneath to magnify its celebration,
the stars and other luminous bodies give a vivid expression
of the wedding of a goddess of the hunt, as a lasting impression.
Immortal Princess, forever an epitome of honour,
may your gentle and passionate soul dwell in heavenly splendour.

A Joyful Festival of Lights!
Full of fun all enjoy from morn till night
Energy never dissipating in revelry...!
Such a happy occasion comes once a year
Thrilling celebration in fire works ever!
Invigorating elders and children in joy
Vital mood of joy immerses all in bliss!
Amazing display of friendliness all over
Love all the occasion in never ending joy!
Over and again all have time to share joy
Full of love and passion to live so year long!
Light of truth expels darkness of ignorance
In the blissful mood of divinity brilliant long!
Girls and guys give themselves in pure love
Highly elated to open and frank state of truth
That never hides any ill will ever to rottenness
Socially strengthening bond of affection forever!
