I feel the need of attaining the maximum of intensity with the minimum of means. It is this which has led me to give my painting a character of even greater bareness.

Ballad of Army Pay
In general, if you want a man to do a dangerous
job : —
Say, swim the Channel, climb St. Paul's, or break
into and rob
The Bank of England, why, you find his wages
must be higher
Than if you merely wanted him to Fight the kitchen
fire.
But in the British Army, it's just the other
way.
And the maximum of danger means the minimum
of pay.
You put some men inside a trench, and call them
infantrie,
And make them face ten kinds of hell, and face it
cheerfully ;
And hve in holes Uke rats, with other rats, and
hce, and toads,
And in their leisure time, assist the R.E.'s with
their loads.
Then, when they've done it all, you give 'em each
a bob a day !
For the maximum of danger means the minimum
of pay.
40
We won't run down the A.S.C., nor yet the
R.T.O.
They ration and direct us on the way we've got
to go.
They're very useful people, and it's pretty plain
to see
We couldn't do without 'em, nor yet the
A.P.C.
But comparing risks and wages, — I think they all
will say
That the maximum of danger means the minimum
of pay.
There are men who make munitions — and seventy
bob a week ;
They never see a lousy trench nor hear a big shell
shriek ;
And others sing about the war at high-class music-
halls
Getting heaps and heaps of money and encores
from the stalls.
They ' keep the home fires burning ' and bright
by night and day.
While the maximum of danger means the minimum
of pay.
I wonder if it's harder to make big shells at a
bench,
Than to face the screaming beggars when they're
crumping up a trench ;
41
I wonder if it's harder to sing in mellow tones
Of danger, than to face it — say, in a wood like
Trone's ; *
Is discipline skilled labour, or something children
play ?
Should the maximum of danger mean the mini-
mum of pay ?

Maximum Joy
(gill/johnson/nash/otoole)
On glory day well get the gifts of heaven up above
All around you hope and joy, to find and fall in love
Can you feel that maximum joy
Rolling round like a brand new boy
Rain and sunshine from heaven
Feeling the wonder, of sun ,rain and thunder
Unravelling lifes mysteries, living to make history
Free at last...
Can you feel that maximum joy
Rolling round like a brand new boy
Rain and sunshine from heaven
Can you feel that maximum joy
Rolling round like a brand new boy
Rain and sunshine from heaven
Can you feel it...
Let dreamers dream and lovers leap
I pray for you our souls to keep free at last...
Can you feel that maximum joy
Rolling round like a brand new boy
Rain and sunshine from heaven
Can you feel that maximum joy
Rolling round like a brand new boy
Rain and sunshine from heaven
I will catch and keep you like a rainbow in my room
And tie you to a star thats rising, dancing on the moon, on the moon
Can you feel it...maximum joy...maximum joy

God and the Fantastic Four
Prophet Mohammad is the first Leader of the Universe
He is as dear to God as His heart and the Best Friend of God
He is the symbol of God's innermost layer of glow
That is the glow of kindness, the white and silver glow
This glow has maximum density and minimum shininess
That's why we'll be able to stare at God's body
Prophet Jesus is the second Leader of the Universe
He is called the Soul of God because he is so dear to Him.
He is like the Son of God and is the symbol of God's body and peace
God has seventy thousand layers of His glow
Each layer has a different color and characteristic
Prophet Mary is like the Beauty and Purity of God
She is the third Leader of the Universe
And she is the symbol of God Herself
Imam Mehedi is the fourth Leader of the Universe
And he is the symbol of God's outermost layer of glow
That is the glow of pride and honor
It is the yellow, golden and invisible (black) glow
This glow has minimum density and maximum shininess

War Means
War Means death
War Means destruction
War Means fire
War Means bombing
War Means sorrow
War Means turmoil
War Means tears
War Means guns
War Means blood
War Means confusion
War Means explosions
War Means mutilation
War Means sickness
War Means killing
War Means occupation
War Means loss
And lots more
But after one side
Or the other side
Has finally had enough
And lays down their arms
To surrender and give up
War Means Peace

In Mind Spaces Where We Live
sometimes in intensity
focused moments
in mind spaces
where we live...
we say
what we
are doing
as an answer...
rather than how
we are
how we feel
sometimes in intensity
concentrated thoughts
absorption rates
are source only...
precise precision
accurate adequate
indicators of mood
talent feeling personality...
effort is how we feel
detailed analysis synthesis
we feel what we do

New Generation
New generation have come long way
With lots of inspirations to sail away
With dashing approach and will power to handle
Everything to compete and easily to avail
'Within reach' is new approach
Slogan with criteria as such
Not to loose feminist character
And at the same time perform as domain ting actor
Good education and new environment
Has made it beautiful movement
Everywhere you find women in charge
Ably assist and commendably manage
What do they look at while passing?
When goal is near but needs chasing?
It is critical time and needed bold decision
Then comes real intelligence to be excelled with precision
This can be expected as minimum
If god has allowed then it as maximum
To love and present beautiful body
Should be concern of no body
Luxury is style now
Person should know its use with when and how?
Knowledge is power and so are the means!
Females have all the way found to excel and win
Women are no lame duck
They are firmly seated and struck
With whatever power and brilliance they have
They are beautiful dug in and now can crave
It is mater of time that they may overcome
All their inheritance weaknesses to welcome
New trend with all elegance and charm in it
We have only to observe and honorably greet

Into The Ocean Of Dreams
I started dreaming by seeing the sky
Let it say no to, until then I will not
Because I was jumped into the ocean of dreams
I will cross the ocean someday by attaining my dream
Else I will die swimming in the ocean itself
For me success is not only a pride or victory
It is sometimes falling and rising up again,
Success sometimes means dreaming
It is sometimes attaining the dream
Or sustaining in the dream till the end
Success is nothing but dreaming
And sacrificing oneself for the Dream
