Ruling Nations is Power
Ruling Minds is Wisdom
Ruling Hearts is Divine.

Being good to oneself is just the beginning
Being good to your loved ones is midway
Being good to all is the final destination.

Knowing about world is Knowledge
Knowing oneself is Enlightment
Knowing God is Mystical.

Rhetoric (Acrostic)

: Rhetoric (Acrostic) 090a

Rhetoric is the art of polish and refinement.
Harlot verbiage moving from context to context.
Every now and then causing simple mis-judgement.
Tenses abound within rhetorical speeches.
Orator! When will you, if ever, learn?
Rhetoric shows up many words to be sinful.
Independent, discreet as a testified secret.
Cant saturation, dismiss rhetoric to Limbo.

The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e., the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force.

Rhetoric does not get you anywhere, because Hitler and Mussolini are just as good at rhetoric. But if you can bring these people down with comedy, they stand no chance.

Rhetoric is a poor substitute for action, and we have trusted only to rhetoric. If we are really to be a great nation, we must not merely talk; we must act big.

Contracted repeated rhetoric

Sickness at the ill verdict

i am sick but a state of mind
i drag my face to the sight of misery
to the popular belief of society that
gives me undesired attention.
i am sick at a state of mind
i am not what they make me
my being is not what your eyes and ears
conclude.i am sick
Just i would be healed
healed by the fair ruling of silence

In fact, because of this deep desire for peace, the ruling class leaders of this land, from 1945 on, stepped up the hysteria and propaganda to drive into American minds the false notion that danger threatened them from the East.

No Time F

there is chaos
deep within the soul
yet i have no time
to think about sadness
i am happy from within
there are wailings
of the feet on hot streets
but i have no time for hearing
i am busy sharing
my time for the dying
there are litlle wars
between little minds
yet i do not care for little wars
i love my quiet peace
inside my heart
there is gloom
ruling the days
of disturbed minds
yet i do not care
my days are bright
i have a caring heart
and a loving soul

With Angst And Cynical Rhetoric

Why are your commentaries,
So filled with angst and cynical rhetoric?

'I like the way you put that!

If my concerns were printed,
To exclude all delusions...
I would be considered socially unfit.
And with the use of censorship...
You would not be exposed to any of it.

That is why I have chosen,
To edit my own comments.
Ensuring my angst felt with cynical rhetoric,
Would leave you to read between the lines.

To find your own reason,
To mutilate and redefine...
A more intellectual way to express your anger.'

What I See Is Neither Wished Nor Wanted

Look around you.

'And...
Your point is,
What? '

Whatever is seen reflected,
Generates from the minds of the people.
All that rhetoric about what is 'wished'.
Is right before your eyes.
IF it was not wanted...
Would it appear so clear?

'What are you saying?
What I see is neither wished nor wanted? '

Listen to the people complaining.

'Then...
Why what I 'see' is so obvious? '

Because you haven't been fantasized,
By delusions.

'Oh.
Oh?
OH?
So...
What I see,
For them does not exist?
Then...
Why is it kept defended? '

You said that!
I didn't.

'Oh.
Oh?
OH? '

There is a lack of critical assessment of the past. But you have to understand that the current ruling elite is actually the old ruling elite. So they are incapable of a self-critical approach to the past.

Poetics

- You're betraying Poetry again, you'll tell me,
Man's most sacred expression
You're using it again as a means, a pack-mule
For your sinister objectives
In full knowledge of the damage you're doing
To the young through your example.

- Tell me what you have not betrayed
You and your kind, for years and years,
Bartering your possessions one by one
In international markets and common bazaars
So you're left without eyes to see, without ears
To hear, with lips sealed and you say nothing.
For which of man's sacred rights are you arraigning us?

I know: preaching and rhetoric again, you'll say.
Well, yes! Preaching and rhetoric.

Words have to be hammered like nails.
If they're not to be lost in the wind.

Freed of Most Addictions

My time will not be wasted,
By a dispersing attempted through your rhetoric.
My genes are not compose to be,
In a receivership of it.

My mind has been freed of most addictions.
Although I remain in conference with nicotine.
And I've ridden wild horses determined to throw me off.
But there I stayed to learn lessons.
Some of which were extremely painful and mean.

My time will not be wasted,
By a dispersing attempted through your rhetoric.
My genes are not compose to be,
In a receivership of it.

And none of it no matter how slick,
Is even welcomed here to make a quick visit.

Nativity only is not loyalty

Your mother is the Queen to reign in your home,
Not born though was she in your home.
With her blood drawn from her parental home,
She breathes your air, prides with a parental air.
That impeded not her taking you under her wings.
A woman of virtue is worth ruling her children’s home.
So is Sonia Gandhi, worth ruling her children’s country.
