I don't think necessity is the mother of invention - invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness. To save oneself trouble.

Heredity is a strong factor, even in architecture. Necessity first mothered invention. Now invention has little ones of her own, and they look just like grandma.

The problematic child
Necessity is the mother of invention,
People say. Then we can say like that:
Wealth is the mother of comforts,
And poverty, of meanness.
Wealth is the mother of indolence too.
So is poverty, of viciousness.
Wealth and poverty near by
Deliver discontent,
Which is a problematic child.

Traffic Jam: The Trap Of Traffic Light
It's not only test your luck, but also test your patience
It's not only test your guts, but also test your instinct
It's not only test your sanity, but also test your obedience to law
It's not only test your ethics, but also test your fidelity
It's not only test your sight, but also test your reflex
It's not only test your estimation of time, but also test your street knowledge
It's not only test your ego, but also test your kindness
It's not only test your control, but also test your awareness
It's not only test your attitude, but also test your responsibility
It's not only test your priority, but also test your humanity

With Me
there is no more
transient silence the one without a
home to call its own
for now silence assumes a
permanent position
as the doorman to my heart
no word is allowed to come in
unless necessary
remember what necessity is?
it is your mother
of invention.

The Law That Isn't
The law that isn't!
But should be...
Integrity.
Integrity.
All kinds of crime,
Have been defined.
But...
One escapes from a state of mind.
Integrity!
The law that isn't.
Integrity.
integrity!

Marriage Will Be A History
Marriage was an invention and became
Mandatory and a necessity.
Now it is optional or a contract
And soon be outdated and a history.

Nectar of immortality
Nectar of immortality
Is my mother
My mother is here with me
To grants every wish
All the lights of every colors
Shape design turned an
Infinity with my mother
I salute my mother for
Her immense integrity
Courage and determination
I have no language to
Express my mother's beauty
And power and love
My mother is pillar of strength.
