The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just.

Never ceasing
That she is not the first I woo
Does not deter me from doing so.
That I am not the first to her
Does not deter me from doing so.
I know I’ll be one more fall out.
I know she’ll be one more dropp out.
Yet I have been doing it since my bloom.

As history since Hiroshima shows, the best, perhaps the only, way to curb war is to deter it with such overwhelming force as to turn it from a struggle into suicide.

If Ever
It is not shame
If I ever I name
Her as divine gift
And stand never shift
From my friends
As I understand
We are no where coming near
As has been gripped by the fear
You are gifted soul
As I received it as call
It was near fall
You were felt by me like precious eye ball
I saw vast world in you
And found it nearly true
What was I dreaming for?
What was actually on the shore?
I gave no second thought
As love is like battle to be fought
Only brave go through to have flag high
Show it to world and wave in the sky
It was pure melody
As you were not meant for somebody
You rushed to me from no where
As I had lost the courage to dare
Does it need full of courage?
As it is going to change life page
What all will be written in words?
If we fail to grasp and to look forward
I shall not repeat blunder
Even if threatened by thunder
No one can deter us from going ahead
As I have seen the message and fully read
Will you over come and support
As our boat will be waiting at the port
I shall swim in any rough weather
Once you promise to stand fast and wither

You Feel That The World Is Against You
You feel that the World is against you and nothing for you is going right
And you struggle just for to make ends meet and life is a hard uphill fight
But than you there are far worse off people though you do not see things that way
In Rwanda a Country in Africa teenagers to support their families work today.
Their parents by war taken from them and the eldest members of the family
Must work for to support their younger siblings they only know of poverty
In our society you may seem a poor man but poverty one can compare
And in the eyes of a Rwandan you would be a multi billionaire.
On five hundred dollars a week take home pay you support your two young children and your wife
As well as buy food, pay bills and the mortgage you do know about the hard life
In this Land they call you a battler you struggle just for to get by
Though the millions of battlers of Rwanda would say that the good life you enjoy.
You feel the whole World is against you a poor fellow on a poor street
But your fridge of food never empty and you and your family
have plenty to eat
And the hungry poor of Rwanda with you only would disagree
They would see you as a wealthy person for they know of extreme poverty

Confession
I try to say this as clear as the sky
Plain as a tea break at noon
It’s not outrageous thing anyway
Just a simple note of truth
Which I fail to repress through
I might scared you to death
With the bold fact of this act
Should you shrink or flee
It’s yr freedom to be
Sure you should forgive me
I fail to pretend it is time
To tell you that we are remain
Whether I am me
And you still you
As selfish as we wanna be
I start to mind you
Your words work like a spell
Your picture is breathing
You lure & breed hope
Your entity possessed me
I trace gracefully each of our steps
Linger at the shadow no more
The shining path ahead of us
Is an arousing fate of two signs
The beginning or the end
I hate to bargain with probability
Can not just let go and sigh
As a kiss good night on the door step
Though it sound silly, it’s not a fad
“Man, I’m in love with you”

Skies The Limit
Written by christine mcvie
If Ive been acting just a little strange
And you have noticed it too
Its cos my life has been rearranged
With the presence of you
The sky is the limit now
We can hit it on the nail
And when we do
Ill think about you
How can we fail
Can you give me one reason why
Youd ever let me down
I wont believe it baby, but Ill try
The truths goin to come around
The sky is the limit now
We can hit it on the nail
And when we do
Ill think about you
How can we fail
The sky is the limit
Oh the sky is the limit
How can we fail
Sooner or later
Ill keep the promise
I made to you
Sooner or later
It will be greater
Then we ever knew
The sky is the limit now
We can hit it on the nail
And when we do
Ill think about you
The sky is the limit now
We can hit it on the nail
And when we do
Ill think about you
How can we fail
The sky is the limit
Oh the sky is the limit
How can we fail
Oh the sky is the limit
How can we fail
The sky is the limit
Oh the sky is the limit
How can we fail
The sky is the limit
Oh the sky is the limit
How can we fail
The sky is the limit
Oh the sky is the limit
How can we fail
The sky is the limit

Struggles
Is the struggle what it is?
Is it my own struggle to begin?
What do i struggle to obtain,
As I learn from those in pain?
What is this pain, I hear and see,
Could it be another, who sturggles to see?
Again, I ask what struggle is this,
That stirs my soul to NEVER quit?

Art Of Possibility
From worry guess or logic result
From the best to the worst
Whether unspoken, whether unthinkable
Possibility always brings a little confusion
Count as risk, neglected to the side
The unknown area, the new symptom
Whether only small percent, whether strong indication
Possibility makes us aware
What if, what should be
What could be, what may be
An alternative universe, a probability game
Possibility keeps us wandering
If we secretly wish, if we struggle to work
Because the world's said, because constant lying
Our distant hope, our deepest fear
Possibility could turn into certainty

Why Are You Waiting
What can I do Im at the door
Ive tried turning back theres no point in that now
What should I say, what should I do
Should I fix my hair oh why am I scared now
Facing the world is so hard do you know what I mean
People are so often hard and far too ready to say...hey...ohhh
Why are you waiting?
Why are you waiting?
Why are you waiting?
What if I fail (you wont fail)
Why are you waiting?
What if I fail (you wont fail, you wont fail)
Look at me stand outside the door
Like a frightened child with a nervous smile see
What should I do, what should I say
Should I speak at all
I am much too small now
Facing the world is so hard do you know what I mean
People are so often hard and far too ready to say...hey...ohhh
Why are you waiting?
Why are you waiting?
Why are you waiting?
What if I fail (you wont fail)
Why are you waiting?
What if I fail (you wont fail)
Why are you waiting?
What if I fail (you wont fail, you wont fail, you wont fail)

Dope Hat
I peek into the hole, I struggle for control
The children love the show, but they fail to see the anguish in my eyes
Fail to see the anguish in my eyes
I scratch around the brim, I let my mind give in
The crowd begins to grin, but they seem to scream when darkness fills my eyes
Seem to scream when darkness fills my eyes, its no surprise
Fail to see the tragic, turn it into magic
My big top tricks will always make you happy
But we all know the hat is wearing me
My bag is in the hat, its filled with this and that
My visions getting fat, the rabbits just a monkey in disguise
Stars and pills and needles dance before our eyes
They will bite the hand if it is slower than the quickness of their scrutinizing eyes
Fail to see the tragic, turn it into magic
My big top tricks will always make you happy
But we all know the hat is wearing me
Chicanery will always make you happy
But we all know the hat is wearing me

Fail to see the anguish in my eyes

I Shall Resurface
I shall resurface and redeem
The pledge taken can be left behind seldom
This is not the struggle for freedom
It is the honor and question of wisdom
Nothing can deter me from pursuing
No one can take it on agenda for arguing
It is self proclamation to prove to the call
When destiny is so near, you can’t afford imminent fall
For moment I can be sent into oblivion
I am not our from game and returning to pavilion
I have faith and trust in ability
As I have closely known the futility
I am not here to advance little and fall back by yards
My goal is not limited and to be moved forward
There might be some short fall or failure
But I am determined to move for sure
I can’t be broken at little pressure
It is not the problem with my nature
I know when to bow and when to rise
As it is apparent that after night there will be sunrise
Sun can’t be shadowed or hidden
Such things can’t take place or happen
Once in a life time such occurrences take place
So I follow the nature and pursue the race
I know that I can be flown away like leaf
The words can’t be heard by dear
We are unknown and stranger
But eyes can visualize the coming danger
It is endless struggle and may remain so
With determined bid it must start and go
Leave behind all speculations and dash against wall
It will go down like cards and fall

Today is an ephemeral ghost... A strange amazing day that comes only once every four years. For the rest of the time it does not "exist." In mundane terms, it marks a "leap" in time, when the calendar is adjusted to make up for extra seconds accumulated over the preceding three years due to the rotation of the earth. A day of temporal tune up! But this day holds another secret—it contains one of those truly rare moments of delightful transience and light uncertainty that only exist on the razor edge of things, along a buzzing plane of quantum probability... A day of unlocked potential. Will you or won't you? Should you or shouldn't you? Use this day to do something daring, extraordinary and unlike yourself. Take a chance and shape a different pattern in your personal cloud of probability!

After I had given up to go, the thoughts of the journey were often attended with unusual sadness, at which times my heart was frequently turned to the Lord with inward breathings for his heavenly support, that I might not fail to follow him wheresoever he might lead me.
