Many could forgo heavy meals, a full wardrobe, a fine house, et cetera it is the ego they cannot forgo.

Satisfaction Must Merit
Forgo the happiness that the conscience bars.
Forgo the happiness you don't deserve.
Forgo the happiness beyond your means.
Forgo the happiness revenges would fetch.
Forgoing such happiness will gain you
Satisfaction which will leave no scars.

A woman’s predicament
I had to forgo a painting I coveted,
For its formidable tag.
I had to forgo a tempting show
For its exorbitant cost.
I had to forgo a favourite concert
For its inconvenient site.
Don’t think that I have no heart
For I don’t get to you, men.

Forgo All and Be United
This is my message to all youngster
forgo all and be united
because you have to face
the upcoming roars
you are the future of this world
so be ready for the next world
where the human seed will be sown
So, forgo all and be united
but before creating a new world
you have to prove
you are capable to carryout the next world
So, forgo all and be united
and be co-operative
extend your hand for a delightful life
extend your hand
to maintain natural harmony and
pack up your luggage
for a next world.

We are content to forgo joy when pain is also lost.
Forgo
To forgo your plans and to look for another way,
But help her to look for her lover!
For you are a trusted adult.

To Leslie
Across the sea
Come homeward ships
With freight of boys.
And still must we
Forgo the joys
Of meeting lips.

Life counts from happiness.
If you can pull on without that pound
That you earn with some humiliation
You had better forgo such earnings.
Life must consist of ego’s happiness.

Heaven and hell
To attain heaven
You have to forgo heavenly pleasure To To avoid hell
You have to do a hell of activities.

The Last Day....
the last day in your life
is in your mind
when the mind shuts up
then that is it
the last day is at the tip
of the last word
that slips from out of your
tongue
that in a minute you
remember
but in the last second
you forgo
because it is just it

At The Front Row
What is after the sixth number
Surpasses the seventh number
He who must lick the honey in the rock
Must care less on the fate of the axe
Many request to be made kings
They like the garments of kings
They want to be called his majesty
But the clout to serve is not in them
Many wants the crowns on their heads
Yet they detest the process of making the crown
Many never realised the crown is heavy
He who must wear the beaded cap
Must be skilful in in serving
Although the front row looks sweet
The front row may be tempting
He who must lead
Must be ready to forgo all
There must be no veil
The front row is without facade

A nice to recall
We need grace
All odds to face
Disappears often
She may soon soften
She needs embrace
Nit and tight
To feel it right
With internal light
Her kidda is no more
She did adore
She was sad never before
I solace her therefore
G stands for good
It serves as food
Food is must
Else it will rust
It needs trust
Seems very true
She must go through
She must freely view
She may excel
And try to reveal
Nothing to conceal
As it is real
She has it all
Only she needs to recall
Need to dash against wall
It is nice call
Friends or foe
All will go
You need to forgo
No need to throw
Though and n through
You were true
Nothing to prove
Everything to approve
I need no wine
I always feel fine
When I go to dine
Pleasure is mine

Women are martyrs
Loss of virtue in a female
Is irretrievable.
One’s reputation is no less brittle
Than it is beautiful.
With this inculcated,
Women could ward off men
And forgo her erotic pleasure.
Women are great martyrs.

Admiration only
Never stop
To reach a top
Journey is open
Only routes you open
May be little strange
Difficult to manage
Still long way to go
Carry along and nothing to forgo
It is right time
Always goal and not crime
It is expected and desired
Not by all but by one always admired

After All
Cher and Peter Cetera
Peter Cetera:
Well here we are again
I guess it must be fate
We've tried it on our own
But deep inside we've known
We'd be back to set things straight
Cher:
I still remember when
Your kiss was so brand new
Every memory repeats
Every step I take retreats
Every journey always brings me back to you
CHORUS Cher and Peter Cetera:
After all the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
After All that we've been through
It all comes down to me and you
I guess It's meant to be
Forever you and me

A Song in Melancholy
I have no soul to share my joys and woe;
I have no one to tell my grief, sorrow;
I ask myself, “Have I asked things far more? ”
But this is how my life will have to go!
I have no one to share my ken and so,
I have to talk to myself or forgo;
What can I do if opens not new door?
I have to put my ambitions in store!
