Pity None
To hold interests misers as much as
to spend interests spendthrifts.
To be fire enthuses the chaste as much as
to be water does to libertines.
You need pity none for one’s trait

The Migrating Software Personnel
The IT firms from the colleges hire
the high achievers in shifts to perspire.
The payola the colleges collect
and the payouts of the firms the young hands wet.
They live on their nerves with hopes to migrate
and be off soon their roots to desecrate.
From a caste-ridden nation they take wing
and in a cultural mire they themselves sling.
They lose filial love but not their courage
as the English breeze ensures all the suffrage.

ZIMBABWE (on it goes)
Election was lost maybe, luxury still for Mugabe.
For him and his cronies money and palaces,
For his subjects misery and death sentences.
Industry gone, sparse or bankrupt,
Good officials' dead or corrupt.
Western firms'bank-rolling their‘interests'they're controlling.
The ‘new'government‘shared' responsibility,
A shambolic front for democracy.
The media gone quite suddenly,
Abandoned are the masses of another country.
The tears and pain grows, on their plight goes.

I don't think that the war serves U.S. interests. I think Osama bin Laden's interests and the Iranian interests are very much served by it, and it's becoming a huge drain on our resources both material and political.

Have a variety of interests ... These interests relax the mind and lessen tension on the nervous system. People with many interests live, not only longest, but happiest.

There are huge advertising budgets only when there's no difference between the products. If the products really were different, people would buy the one that's better. Advertising teaches people not to trust their judgment. Advertising teaches people to be stupid.

Why, I ask, isn't it possible that advertising as a whole is a fantastic fraud, presenting an image of America taken seriously by no one, least of all by the advertising men who create it?

Bond is not constant.
Interests create involvement.
Involvements create interests.
Interests tiring, involvements die.
Involvements straining, interests die.
The bond is not constant.
