Sonnet: On Greatness
Greatness is not a thing, much like an art;
Some man turns great if on it he stumbles;
His greatness ceases, if he thinks, he's great;
Great is he truly who tho' great, humbles.
Greatness is not true greatness, self-proclaimed;
Greatness is not what world showers on us;
Greatness is neither got by being claimed.
Greatness is not achieved by making fuss.
Greatness could come if world decides to give;
Greatness will stay if God blesses our work;
Such greatness, God-destined comes while men live;
Greatness can grow even without much luck.
Greatness doesn't come to everyone on earth;
Some men are made great; some are great by birth.

Special
Talk.
For the world wants to hear you.
Open your eyes.
For the world wants to see you.
Now take off that extra layer and show me your true colors.
For I have been waiting to see your true self ever since you came into my presence.
For you are special no matter what people say or what you think.
For you are special because you took the time to grace me with your presence and overcome your obstacles.
To me that is special for life is tough. So continue on being special by battling your obstacles.

Do Not Stop
i completely agree
that when you're well read
you need not be
number one,
i agree, about bias and prejudice
about some crooked explanations
about the way how the rules are changed from time to time
without prior notice to fit what is it that must be liked
we are bound by the greatness of the past
we reject the casualness of the present
you must remember
and must always remember
'know thyself'
and that is greatness enough
continue what your heart is telling you
'do not stop! ! '

Happy Wedding Anniversary
A special day to think about
The glory of how days had passed;
A special day to rest at last,
The woes and doubts about life past!
A special day to thank the Lord
Jesus, for bestowing blessings;
A special day to give the nod
For grace that prayer in life brings!
A special day to be afree
Of worries that the past had brought;
A special day to be happy
About God’s mercies you had got.
A special day to just rejoice
And stay in cloud nine for some time;
A special day of feats and poise,
And singing some nursery rhymes!
Most special day is ‘Wedding-Day’;
The heart is full of green-memoirs –
When children try to love repay,
Grand-children sing angelic-choirs!

The corrupting view.
I spoke ill of her
As she was in others’ company.
I spoke nil of her
When she came to my friend’s company.
I spoke well of her
As I won her in my company.
Now I speak only of her
For now she is no more with others.
Jealousy to envy, envy to pride,
and pride to tranquility –
metamorphosis of feelings.

True friends
Heart is so sensitive that it needs true friends,
Helps to build relation and meets quick end
All worries in succession are dealt with promptly
Friends may come to rescue and advise us strongly
Anger is most unreliable and known worst enemy friend
Rushing blood to vanes and preparing quick end
Helps in downing and leading to sudden collapse
Loosing concentration easily to find more lapses
Emotions are also best friends who come to your rescue
Sudden joy enlightens and thoughts give some clue
Pressure may be reduced and immediate control brought
Preventive steps necessary before you are caught
Nerves and feelings are main trouble centre for all
Tears roll out easily at little sad call
Tension and noise sometimes suddenly shoot
Warning signals sent before we get boot
Don't identify your self and fall easy prey
No to all stress calls and never surrender or obey
Aching will be intense with sudden emergence of pain
When all efforts are failed and went in vain
Still you may seek more without any serious thought
Never think of consequences when battle is fought
Advices may fall on deaf ears as you don't bother
Mission is not sure as you fail to reach safely at shore
You have all generous qualities of caring mother
Never thought of self but always about other
Sufferings still in store to get only tears
Have to bear brunt and unpleasant words to hear
I may not venture but continue to live in house
Pesticides to be used to kill insects and mouse
I may have mercy but not passion to arouse
I shall stop at once when no more in use
Handle it patience and control the fear
Not to show excitement when new cloths you wear
Not to allow tension to be taken over by rush of tears
Not to absorb shocks and keep away the liars
We will continue to hold firm till its lasts
Life is speeding and may soon end very fast
Never show unreasonable feelings about bad past
Think about future without any doubts to cast
Fiends are not found easily in the way
They always bring new hope of ray
They will console us in deep trouble
As water may turn calm after short bubble
It has eternal character and got special blessings
Without real friends you may feel something missing
They have real feelings and special role to play
They will sincerely stand by and offer to pray

Lonely With Pride
I wonder at night as I sit alone, dark clouds and rain outside.
The ocean pounding on the shore with a tone of derision, cried
An old cat meowing at someone's door wanting inside,
Will I ever forget my obstinate pride,
Letting go of someone who meant all and then nothing in my pride
When he sighed I did not take his side,
Longing and longing for a past,
Which can not be recast,
I cannot return because of pride.

Internet Romance
INTERNET ROMANCE
Melvin Banggollay
In the internet cafes many stay
From early morning till dawn
Chating to someone all day
Smiling alone while they yawn.
For me, its great fun everyday
mailing message of my own
To strangers online in any day
Hoping to get their attention.
Many responded it so quickly
Some never talked to unknown
Few replied the next next day
Others ignore and let it blown.
But lucky Am I one special day
I had a message not my own
From a place many miles away
Wishing to meet me in person.
She said, she wanted to see me
to know the man's great passion
Inside an old guitar's symphony
Where I had blown the love I own.
From then on, we used to convey
Warm romance our hearts sown
But sad to say that until this day
It remains only a dream unborn.

Game of My Life
When I step foot onto the court
I become a lioness defending my pride
Against the fierce attack of a puma,
Who through his eyes, only sees dinner.
Marking territory as I cross half court,
I begin to search for that 1 special lion.
Once I spot him, away goes my pride.
Now at last this battle is all mine.
As fast as I can,
Across the field I go,
Only to receive my pride,
So perfect and precise.
At last, that 1 special lion that always seems to read my mind,
Darts toward the puma, to stop him in his tracks.
I then gather my pride and use this as a getaway.
Not only have I escaped with my pride,
But the fact of knowing, I have won my fight.
From the business point of view, always encouraging the people in our company to own stock in the company, and if we're going to build something great, to have a lot of people share in the benefits of that greatness.

Let Them Have Their Tea With Crumpets
Let them have their tea with crumpets.
Sound the trumpets,
For those who seek a return of greed.
Since the leader the people selected,
Can not in truth maintain their philosophies.
He...
Wishes to present to them realities.
And they...
Were raised to feed on fantasies.
With praise they wish the world,
Continues to see.
That greatness hyped with hypocrisy!
But those who have chosen to sip their tea,
Even without him leading them...
Can not believe nor accept,
A change is evident.
With a coming to them that is direct.
Because on just 'credit'...
The economy bleeds.
And those who now seethe,
Are the ones who depleted it!
Let them have their tea with crumpets.
Sound the trumpets,
For those who seek a return of greed.
Since the leader the people selected,
Can not in truth maintain their philosophies.
And without his honesty...
They perceive a boundless gluttony,
Will and can come back again.
'What about the thieves?
Who holds them accountable,
For their activities? '
Sssshhh...
That is part of the reality,
They rather see erased from them to leave.

Letter to my Mother
Mummy tell me, did I bother you
While in comfort of your lovely womb
Mummy tell me.
While dawn had opened, and a new world was created
And the first gasps of air, I did, was my cry so loud?
While dawn had opened.
Mummy while nothing, but a helpless bundle
You made my bed and I sucked your breasts for life
Mummy while nothing.
Mummy that you continue, to wish me well
While am grown, your desire that all is well
Mummy that you continue.
My self I pride, a journey with you in a vast universe
A fountain and fortitude, you no worry, provision is mine.
Myself I pride.

Special Girl
Written by e. schwartz and d. tyson, 1984
Found on perspective and highway.
Into each life a little sunlight wants to shine
Let me tell you, a fortune like that once was mine
She was a special girl
She meant the world to me
I gave her everything
When I found her Id been looking everywhere
When I lost her I was lost beyond despair
She was a special girl
She meant the world to me
I gave her everything
Dreams are hard to take (dreams are hard to take)
Could it be I loved her too much
Oo, a special girl
Oo, a special girl
She was a special girl
She was a special girl
She meant the world to me
I gave her everything
Bottom line is, she was fine in every way
And its not with hesitation that I say
She was a special girl
She meant the world to me
And I gave her everything
Dreams they come and go (dreams they come and go)
But thoughts of her are like a floor show
Oo, a special girl
Oo, a special girl
She was a special girl
She was a special girl
She meant the world to me
I gave her everything

Return To Sender
Well I want to return to my sender
Well I want to return
There is so much that I cant remember
But theres so much to choose
We are laying the tracks for the company
Across all space and all time
Any insinkerator will remind you
What can happen to you
Theres a billboard as high as a mountain
Neon lights up the hill
Cast no shadow and leave no traces
We are grist for the mill
Hold me control me into the arms we fall
Sugar the future sale of the century
Trying to turn the world around
Trying to turn the world around
Ive come to turn your world around.

Somebody Special
(rod stewart, steve harley / chen, savigar, cregan, grainger)
How can you say lifes getting you down
Get yourself out go along with the crowd
Youre all dressed up got nowhere to go
You feel left out cause nobody showed
Listen babe
When you think youre the only one
Who cant find love in this world
Tell yourself theres another one
Whos waiting for you, somewhere
Somebody special is thinking of you
Somebody special is dreaming of you
Somebody special is longing for you
Somebody special, special
Magazine dreams are easy stuff
But heaven knows they aint good enough
Picture yourself from reel to reel
And get your hands on that driving wheel
And you know what
When its hard to satisfy
A simple simple fantasy
Somebody somewhere is on your side
Waiting for you, crying
Somebody special, is looking for you
Somebody special, is searching for you
Somebody special, is waiting for you
Somebody special, somebody special
Maybe your hearts tormenting you
Why should it have any reason to
Wipe off that negativity
Put on some positivity
And when you think youre the only one
Who cant find love in this world
Tell yourself theres another one
Whos waiting for you, somewhere
Somebody special, is dreaming of you
Somebody special, is looking for you
Somebody special, is waiting for you
Somebody special, somebody special
