Merchants have no country. The mere spot they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains.

Mr. Obama has an ingenious approach to job losses: He describes them as job gains.
If This Needs Repeating
I feel blessed.
Yes.
And less stressed with mess.
I feel deep within me a happiness,
I can bring to the surface and express.
I'm not going to say,
I am free of an ache or pain.
I'm not going to elaborate...
On my losses or gains.
Or even my despairs and disappointments,
That may come!
I'm not sharing any of that!
None,
With anyone!
I feel blessed.
Yes.
And less stressed with mess.
I feel deep within me a happiness,
I can bring to the surface and express.
I'm not going to say,
I am free of an ache or pain.
I'm not going to elaborate...
On my losses or gains.
Or even my despairs and disappointments,
That may come!
I'm not sharing any of that!
None,
With anyone!
If this needs repeating...
I don't mind being the one,
To get that done!
I feel blessed.
Yes.
And less stressed with mess.
I feel deep within me a happiness,
I can bring to the surface and express.
I'm not going to say,
I am free of an ache or pain.
I'm not going to elaborate...
On my losses or gains.
Or even my despairs and disappointments,
That may come!
I'm not sharing any of that!
None,
With anyone!

Gains equal Losses
The best way to get love
Is to give it to one.
The best way to get praise
Is to give it to one.
Gains equal losses.

Those who want to share the gains, shall also share the losses.
Do not seek evil gains; evil gains are the equivalent of disaster.
It's coming—the postponeless Creature
390
It's coming—the postponeless Creature—
It gains the Block—and now—it gains the Door—
Chooses its latch, from all the other fastenings—
Enters—with a "You know Me—Sir"?
Simple Salute—and certain Recognition—
Bold—were it Enemy—Brief—were it friend—
Dresses each House in Crape, and Icicle—
And carries one—out of it—to God—

Wrongs no more wrongs
Wrongful gains are cheating
What are wrongful gains?
The ones beyond the norms framed.
As the norms’ boundary enlarges
The wrongs come under the norms.
The society deteriorates.

Trusts and mistrusts
We lost many gains by mistrust.
We gained many losses by very trust.
Yet we go on to trust and mistrust
Otherwise we may be in disgust.

Choosing Losses As Their Gains
Too many...
People.
Too many...
Accept life to grieve.
Too many...
Wear their heartaches,
On wet sleeves.
Too many...
In anger.
Too many...
Show hurt and pain.
Too many...
Unsatisfied,
And complain.
Choosing losses as their gains.
And somewhere inside,
They have hidden all their pride.
And the tears flow like rain,
From their eyes.
The Sun comes to shine.
But it's blocked from their minds.
And they welcome the clouds,
Like lost friends.
And the storms on them descend!
Too many...
People.
Too many...
Accept life to grieve.
Too many...
Wear their heartaches,
On wet sleeves.
Too many...
In anger.
Too many...
Show hurt and pain.
Too many...
Unsatisfied,
And complain.
Choosing losses as their gains.
And somewhere inside,
They have hidden all their pride.
And the tears flow like rain,
From their eyes.
The Sun comes to shine.
But it's blocked from their minds.
And they welcome the clouds,
Like lost friends.
This has to end.
Since this,
Unhappiness...
Can't be a choice,
One lives!

Some Do Take For Granted a Loyalty Expressed
A devotion that remains,
Hopefully gains in respect.
It doesn't mean that getting upset,
Changes one's feelings into regret.
But some do take for granted,
A loyalty expressed and known.
And go out of their way...
To test the limits gone unshown.

Meaningless
Test of strengths
meaningless.
where is the waves.
Rules, regulations
ritualistic liturgy
rosary are there
in their places.
Gains and loses
meangingless.
I am on my own ways
and you are yours.

President Obama is making the tough decisions to get our country going in the right direction, has taken our economy from job losses to 15 straight months of job gains, cut taxes 26 times, and focused like a laser on getting the middle class back on its feet while those campaigning to replace him have failed to show they can lead on these issues.

Destitution
We can not jeopardize our gains.
However...
We can sure maximize our losses.
And at any cost!
What we lose will be an honorable sacrifice...
For all of the hollow victories claimed!
Inspite of our appearances of destitution.
And that is a worthwhile cause to pride,
With a wholesome delivery....
Our future generations will come to respect,
As justifiable!
For the rest of their miserable lives.
And I might add,
We hold these truths to be self evident.

Enemies
Enemies in home and abroad
What a hilly and zigzag road!
Conspiracy is in so many brains
My losses are many and so few gains!
Their hate, malice and envy
Engulf my life I can see!
Nobody loves me and shows sympathy
Though I am innocent as I should be!
My love, care and my vision
Will make fruitful my mission!
I won’t give in cause my God is with me
He gives me hope and lot of energy!

One Who Loses
The one who loses
Is not the one aware
Of a loss or losses lost!
The one who loses
Is the one aware
Of a win that must be won!
This one is not aware of disgrace that comes!
The one who has lost...
Has paid the cost and gains!
And remains unchallenged.

I Learned Through You
I learned through you,
That in faltering, being caught
By a steady hand
One is fastened, more fixed
To a personal goal.
In choosing to be corrected,
Deferring to superior intellect
One gains the wisdom
After one has learned the lesson.
In humility, consciously
Subordinating the ego
One gains sensitivity
To reception.
Then, in perfection, is
Creativity empowered
A spirit true and unique to itself
Declaring an internal and external
Presence of Peace and Love for always!

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

Difficult Issues
Life is a story
Of pain and pleasure
Where we get a chance
To collect valuable treasures
Tresures that include
Sympathy, help and love
For that is what we all
Want and deserve
And remember whenever
You encounter a difficult issue
Try to solve it with
The patience tissue
And offer your love
Your hand and your smile
For that is what will go
With you long miles
And know that all those
Aches and pains
Comes from God Almighty
To test your gains
And if you're strong
And help others in test
Then you'll be rewarded
With joy and zest
And all your troubles
And your pains and tears
Will be healed with
Infinite peace layer.
