But I can tell you what your folly and injustice will compel us to do. It will compel us to be free from your domination, and more self-reliant than we have been.

What the law will compel you to do, do of your own free will.
Resurrected
Broad resurrection unites the arisen of us,
A single uninterrupted plain of white flour
Has transformed our diversity into garments
That we wear, wearing them has cooked food.
Naked and barefoot, the inhabitants compel us
As cloistered explorers, colossal in us,
To be silly in evil, silly in pride, not in good works;
Blue-eyed mammals combine the rest with day’s cleverness.
My classy sir, this combination excites me after the word,
Chubby cheeks are not enough, full of colour,
And they are full of colour that I see as the word,
The words compel us to be closed; where are they?

At This Moment Of Time
Some who are uncertain compel me. They fear
The Ace of Spades. They fear
Loves offered suddenly, turning from the mantelpiece,
Sweet with decision. And they distrust
The fireworks by the lakeside, first the spuft,
Then the colored lights, rising.
Tentative, hesitant, doubtful, they consume
Greedily Caesar at the prow returning,
Locked in the stone of his act and office.
While the brass band brightly bursts over the water
They stand in the crowd lining the shore
Aware of the water beneath Him. They know it. Their eyes
Are haunted by water
Disturb me, compel me. It is not true
That "no man is happy," but that is not
The sense which guides you. If we are
Unfinished (we are, unless hope is a bad dream),
You are exact. You tug my sleeve
Before I speak, with a shadow's friendship,
And I remember that we who move
Are moved by clouds that darken midnight.

No Body
You are nobody to compel
A bird to Fly and sing.
You are nobody to command
A poet to write and read.
You are nobody no body
You are nobody to to to.

I Did Not Like It
i actually did not like it
when you rest your head
on my shoulders
while we were on bed
and you ask
if at all you mattered
how could you be
so shortminded?
i am tired
and i have no mind
and i can be so dishonest
i do not like it
when you compel me to make another lie tonight
in my silence
you equated it with
yes....

Divine Poetry
Poet never ceases to be poet
He can't remain quiet
He is not dependant on fate
He is with the scene and never late
Poetry is my food
I have completely understood
If I fail to write anytime in a day
That is enough cause for me to be taken away
I shall be no more
If thoughts compel me to feel bore
Thoughts just emerge from the idle store
Pen gets strength to write more and more
Poetry is dear to me like wife
It is also like an edge of knife
It may compel you to write tough
And land you in trouble to pass through rough
But you got to be fearless
As that may be tough situation to face
Many readers may try to pull your legs
When your are reciting it on the stage
It is easy to swim in imagery
Float in dreams with lines silvery
Moon may seem very near
To enjoy its beauty without fear
Poetry as such is divine gift
It may never allow having shift
He is the one who instills thought
When with peaceful mind they are sought
It is divinity that makes home
Pen must write always to welcome
Readers must enjoy skill and talent
Swim with melody and enjoy the moment
