A brief and precise
“To be brief and precise”
What else can be the advice?
This may give room to rise
This maybe picked up by intelligent and wise
Human error can result in great tragedy
As life has already turned into comedy
We are on brink of disasters with no remedy
Many are loosing their lives but still not ready
What has made us so insensible to the reality?
Why do we not go for accurate decision with quality?
We have witnessed its uselessness with futility?
We remember for short time and press for continuity
The human tragedy is excused on the ground of error
Mere sympathy is shown for the consequences of terror
It doesn’t force us to change the mind till it strikes
We fled the scene on the available means like bikes
We need to sympathize for those who are in short
They are in desperate need of commodities at the port
They are starving due to negligence on our part
Many of them just pass away and rests wait to depart
No one shed tears for the deprived
No solution is immediately arrived
At every moment they are being connived
They languish but still survived

Human Error
There is always a mystery
behind every tragedy in this world.
Always questions are asked
and someone has to take the blame.
Human error they call it
that cost all those lives,
but not all things are human error.
Some things are unavoidable,
unexplainable and even unpredictable.
They just happen without warning
and no one can prevent it.
They will happen again
and possibly again.

Human behavior
Peculiar it seems
Some thrive on hate
Some love the dream
Everyone's got a purpose and wants to be loved
I think I found my purpose
I think I found love
Hidden inside myself
Tragedy
Strikes when you least expect it
Hate and destruction crashed down on our world
The stars and the stripes
The boys and the girls
It's sad it took war just to bring us together
I believe in love
I believe in forever
Hidden inside ourselves
You better run
You better run
For your life
For your life
Shed a tear
Shed a tear
Live in fear
Tragedy day
Tragedy day
Tragedy day

The nature is giving up
The nature is giving up the way
It has no more roles to play
There is no more guarantee from mankind
It has only to give in and new place to find
The change has affected season’s order
Where is the great show and natural power?
All for name sake and no more to fear
All disasters and landslides only to bear
It is human creation and not the creation of God
We are not looking around and blindly going forward
Who cares for sanity for the nature?
We are digging grave for the future
It will never be same again
We will have only agony and pain
There will inccesant and continuous rain
We have to be fully prepared and train
The wind is blowing in different direction
Nice ideas and behavior can not be witnessed in action
Gone were the days of peace and elegance
Now you have to shed the tears by looking it at once
It may not be the same
No one has to share blame
All dirt has been added and river Ganges is polluted
Where purity can be found when divinity is diluted?
We are morally going down and degrading
Knee deep in immorality and trading
The last hope for sanity is fading
Only hope for better life is receding
Not only human being but nature too is resorting to
All sorts of unknown provocation and reporting
The vast part of land is blocking the way
The rivers are changing course and speeding away
Will we wake up to nature’s call and unite?
Offer reasonable solution and fight
Not at the cost of any monetary loss
The end effect of systematic ruin as gross
Have we not witnessed the lava eruption?
The complete air and road traffic disruption
So many human lives at risk with displacement
The nature’s third eye destruction with tragic moments
We still harp on statistical data and indulge
The hide and seek game and refuse
The catastrophically bound consequences
To be realized soon without any references
It may not wait for any moment
It will not cut much ice with our comments
Nothing may help at the end of session
We should seek solution and offer concession
It is high time we respond to nature’s call
It is still not late to avert possible fall
We can still manage with fewer death tolls
The pollution free and healthy atmosphere should be our goal

A Wise Decision
The moment you think of giving up means a wise decision
So far it was unproductive, contentious and full of indecisions,
what made you to change the opinion to come to the conclusion?
When you were so sure previously for its inclusion
it is always wise to change the course in between if journey is threatened
you may face disaster and consequences if the course is not shortened
your ears should as sharp as dog and eyes as like as an eagle
you will face no danger even while passing through jungle
You must have third eye to see and think about impending danger
Your course should not be diverted out of fear or anger
You must think about it with cool mind and with some calculation
It should never be blown off out of proportion
It is healthy sign of strong person with determination
You have ship’s course and guidance in action
The storm can ground the ship at any time without notice
You will no time left to think it twice
You have, as I said earlier, enough of guts to steer the course
It is test of an astuteness and ability to move ahead with force
The storm may remain for sometime and wither away later
But think of leaving ship half way and consequences as leader
So it nice to stay in race but sign of wisdom to leave in time
No one may point out right decision if that goes wrong sometimes
The adventures and journeys can be aborted if feared with failure
But wisdom will be to purse it till end with guarantee to assure
Many may disagree with contention but “fortune favors the brave”
You may heroes welcome if you succeed in life saving
If people are brought safely to the shore with safety
You will be honored with all the thanks to almighty
It is human mind that reads some unforeseen events
There are some unpredictable and unfortunate moments
Life is another name of uncertainties and luck
We must have courage to withstand before being struck

An error-human
To err is human
To forget is inhuman
To remember is bless
It is nice if you confess
Nothing changes until we do
Nothing is solved until we go through
No creation until we fall apart
No faire until we have good start
Nothing can be built in a day
Soul searching to find the way
Resign to conscious and rise
Never to react and we wise
What we can receiver from others?
Worries and tension which may all the time bother
Can we play a part of deceiver?
Will our faith shake and body shiver?
If answer is emphatic “no” then just wait
Don’t waste time and wait for fate
It will be then inadvisable to become late
Change completely before they start to hate
Simple and short but not too short or too long
Correction in time before going wrong
Stay among all but like lotus in pond
It is exactly what we like and want

The Gruesome Murder And The Popularity
i told him about the tragedy of a 63 year old gay doctor
who was stabbed to death by two teeners
inside the bathroom of his house in bacolod city
it was gruesome
as it was filmed and the killer winked and smiled
after the murder
the teener feels that now he makes it to the headline
and to the person with whom i told the tragedy
he simply laughed it out
he wants the comedy part of the horrible error
faraway from home
he says, there is no place like america

This So-called Miracle
Chorus/intro:
Its gonna take a miracle
To give up my hope and get on with my life
Oh that mystic moment
A split-second stop
Of my heart
And with this miracle
Comes unwanted reality
cause this so-called miracle
Has turned into a tragedy
Verse 1:
Baby, what ever did I do (I do, I do, I do...)
To make you not only turn away
But turn, oh so far away
Never considering turning back
Verse 2:
I need you to know Ill never smile
Until we reconcile (until we reconcile)
I know now that that wont happen
Somehow Ill try and cope
But I just cant get out of my head
That glimmer of hope
Everybody tells me I need time away from you
But your the only thing in my world
And thats the last thing I wanna do
Chorus
Verse 3:
Baby, whatever did I do
To make you not only go away
But twist every word I say
To make the tables turn.....
Verse 4:
Youre sayin Im the one whos at the core
Yes, Im the one who glanced at the door
(oh, slammed the door)
But youre the one who turned the handle
Tried to burn the candle at both ends
At both ends you lead me
On and on and on
You really, really took me
Now youve left, my mind is gone (when you left)
Chorus:
And its gonna take a miracle (its gonna take a miracle)
To give up my hope and get on with my life
Mystic moment
A split-second stop
Of my heart
And in this miracle
Comes unwanted reality (I dont want a reality)
cause this so-called miracle
Is really a tragedy
Bridge:
Its easy to give advice
When your hearts not in it
But the best thing for me to do is let go
But somehow I get lonely
Its hard to stand and face the crowd
Doin a one-woman show
Chorus:
Its gonna take a miracle
(miracle, miracle...)
(it would take a miracle, miracle...)
Well everybody tells me I need time away from you
But your the only thing in my world
And thats not what Im gonna do
Its gonna take a miracle
(its gonna take, its gonna take...)
To get on with my life
Oh, oh mystic moment (its a mystic moment)
A split-second stop
Of my heart
And in this miracle
Comes unwanted reality
(its a miracle, its a miracle)
[i dont want a reality]
This so-called miracle
Just isnt my reality
Its gonna take a miracle
(its gonna, its gonna take a miracle)
To give up my hope and get on with my life
(its gonna, its gonna take a miracle)
Mystic moment
A split-second stop
Of my heart
And with this miracle (its gonna take a...)
Comes unwanted reality (I dont want a reality)
This so-called miracle
Has turned into a tragedy
Tragedy - doo...
Who says its a miracle? (who says its a miracle? )
Who says its a miracle?
This so-called miracle
Is really not a miracle
Who says its a miracle?
Not me, not me...
This so-called miracle
This so-called miracle

An error is fear
The fear of an error is already an error
If it is revealed at the end then it is fear
You may go into any depth and analyze
It can be had in maximum or crystallize
We don’t rule out any criticism
It is not called individualism
It is neither sarcastic or joke
It is meddling or unnecessary pokes
We can sum up what has been said
We can also judge what has been laid
We are not here for anything paid
It is not prepared or already made
When we set for the quest?
We try all out and go for best
It is critical time and real test
Nothing can be had if you cool down or rest
You should not feel hungry or be called mad
It may result in negative and you will be sad
If you are not sure of any result for things
You should not go for it or try at anything
Is it necessary to go all out for venture?
Can that shape out destiny or future?
Will we commit any mistake or error?
Can that not be seen in any mirror?
It can be judgmental miscalculation
It has got no relevance or direct relation
There is no doubt or any question
There is chance for no feed back but only retaliation
You may not be taken lightly when confronted on the issue
There may be constant watch and periodical reviews
Your actions may be takes with serious views
Not all may object but kindly taken by only few
It is human lapse and can’t be considered as such
It is miscalculation and should not be harped too much
It is to be forgiven once for all and discounted the fear
Not much stress is to be laid and no grudge to bear
The moment you have fear in mind
You may loose balance and can’t remain kind
Everything seems to be in doldrums and shaky
It should not be landed in mess and look tricky
An error can create serious misunderstanding
It remain there permanent and unending
It has to be addressed in shortest possible time
It may multiply and sometimes considered as crime
To err deliberately is not pardonable
It is almost not appreciated and condemnable
Sometimes it is considered as an art to deceive
It is not welcomed and not gently received
One must face it as brave
Though its consequences may be grave
It is human to err and must be forgiven
The situation should be too far driven

A Human's Tragedy
(Dedicated to now suffering Haitian people)
This was not a joke or a comedy,
It was a real human's tragedy...
Not a scene coming straight from Hollywood,
It was the time when the world still stood...
I felt astonished and sad that I did cry,
To hold my tears, I did really try...
When listening the news in my TV set,
I could not believe it, my TV I reset..
Panic, chaos, screaming and total confusion,
Stopped the human evolution...
Bodies, mixed with blood and debris
Manifested in the devastated streets...
Without wasting time, the helping hands
From all over the globe try to remove the sands
From those who my still be alive,
And those wandering around
Desperate looking for food not found
Or the precious water soon to arrive...
They are also part of the human race,
A wounded child with a dirty face...
Hungry and tired looking for his mom,
Happy to find the open arms of Sargent Tom...
Like drinking a bitter and cold drink
Things in life that twice make you think...

A great moment
I know there are great moments in life and we rejoice
There is reason for it and we have clear choice
We observe with full care and make no noise
We are ready take on for leap forward and poise
It will go exactly as we do think and plan
We should thrive very hard and go as far as we can
It is very essential that we live with present age
It is our life and we must minutely observe and manage
There may be some sad moments when get unset
IT is better for us that we get it aside forget
Time may not wait for us as it needs continuous change
We got to make move to set it right and effectively arrange
Time may definitely play its part and we will be caught unaware
We are sensible enough to tackle the issue with alertness and beware
It may not find immediate solution as it may be lying some where
It won’t be proper on our part to sit idle and take no care
How do we tackle draught situation if it doesn’t rain?
Will there be enough alternative to make sure gain
I know for sure that all efforts may go in vain
The problem may follow in the form of chain
It is absolutely disastrous situation
For many years we have observed its continuation
It is playing havoc and we are on brink of extinction
We still lack firm commitment and course of action
We deserve no mercy and pity
Villages are ruined and there is mad rush towards cities
No means are left and it is loosing its entity
Life seems to have come at standstill and lack the continuity
Little more delay in firm action may invite wrath
Hunger will loom large and may result in terrible deaths
Man will kill man for small piece of bread
You will be living life but it will look as if you are dead
What can you offer from your side as gift?
Protection of natural wealth and sharing without any rift
No one is prepared for change with little shift
We need amicable solution with meaningful lift
Air we breath in is completely polluted
Chemicals and poisons in water is diluted
No areas are left where we have scope for intervention
Only we are rushing towards destruction and not for its prevention
Is this all we are longing for better tomorrow?
Are we not prepared to be with nature and grow?
Can we not stop drive to block river’s flow?
If not, then get ready for nature’s blow

Unknown factor
Unknown factor keeps human being constantly in fear
They are seized with many problems and stressfully bear
Ready to strike with revenge but still address as dear
Experience pinch of salt when some sad news they hear
It is human psychology that drives and controls the nerve
In danger or crisis they take over and brilliantly serve
It is known fact that life is real but full of uncertainty
It will be sheer madness if we remain unknown about its futility
It gives joy and happiness as long as it is pleasant
No sorrow or grief is filled without His grace or consent
We tend to take little contingent of what the next will descend?
Unfortunate events or momentary drawbacks
Unforeseen situation may force us to turn to divine power
Prayers and offerings to God for blessings to shower
“Come to my fold and I shall “sound very much in ear
Force to rethink course of action when look back to years
Is it not the age old phenomenon that we have followed the same?
Is it not the brilliant idea of some one who has worked hard to frame?
The spirituous mystery that no one has tested or spoken so far
To take the advantage of human minds as so much weak they are
What will they do as last resort to come out of it and take refuge?
What can be simple remedy for acquiring new energy to infuse?
Why all of sudden it invades in mind that it may be end of world?
Why it shakes spine with fear, feet crumble and develop cold|?
No easy solution for complete dejection or burning inferno
Movement to stop with unexpected blockade of water flow
Reckless mind to stop thinking with no more ideas to grow
No where to go with hopeless situation and out of proportion to blow
These all factors drive them to the near vicinity of divinity
It is at this crucial juncture that they realize the power of infinity
It is borne in mind that life is another name of continuity
How much it is important to lead or to be lead in community
We need some overwhelming factor to guide our destiny
It makes us to rise in arms with powerful force for mutiny
Nothing on earth can force the intelligent approach of human being
It remain throughout same with ordinary man or powerful king
It may strengthen faith and belief
Which can only provide the relief?
It has nothing to do with fame or noun?
What else we need to calm down?

The Remedy
I saw fireworks from the freeway and behind closed eyes I cannot make them go away
Cause you were born on the fourth of july, freedom ring
Now something on the surface it stings
That something on the surface it kind of makes me nervous who says that you deserve this
And what kind of God would serve this? we will cure this dirty old disease
If youve got the poison Ive got the remedy
The remedy is the experience. it is a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy is that its serious. which is a strange enough new play on words
I say the tragedy is how youre gonna spend the rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends because it all amounts to nothing in the end.
I wont worry my life away.
I wont worry my life away.
I heard two men talking on the radio in a cross fire kind of new reality show
Uncovering the ways to plan the next big attack
They were counting down the days to stab the brother in the be right back after this
The unavoidable kiss, where the minty fresh death breath is sure to outlast his catastrophy
Dance with me, because if youve got the poison, Ive got the remedy
The remedy is the experience. it is a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy is that its serious. which is a strange enough new play on words
I say the tragedy is how youre gonna spend the rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends because it all amounts to nothing in the end.
I wont worry my life away.
I wont worry my life away.
When I fall in love I take my time
Theres no need to hurry when Im making up my mind
You can turn off the sun but Im still gonna shine and Ill tell you why
Because
The remedy is the experience. it is a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy is that its serious. which is a strange enough new play on words
I say the tragedy is how youre gonna spend the rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends because it all amounts to nothing in the end.

When Is it Ever Ready?
When is it ever ready...
For us to make up our minds,
It is time to get what we put off
To get something done?
When is it ever ready...
For us?
When is it ever ready...
To stop and wait.
For us to negotiate,
This is the moment...
That has arrived,
For us to get up and move?
Just to prove we can delay
Another day...
To make an excuse,
To collect with the other excuses...
Made!
When is it ever ready?
Time seems to never be!
It seems to do what it chooses without us!
To experience...
Or ignore completely.
As we sit to cuss its noncommitment.
Observing it as it cares less,
About how some of us waste it...
With more uselessness!
To eventually confess.
When is it ever ready?
That is probably not a concern...
Nor a priority,
Or on its agenda.
Time is man made.
To set limits...
As if man allows 'it' to benefit,
And exist.
To put up with a man's nonsense.
Or a woman's.
Either way...
No one can say,
They have more of it...
Than anyone.
To just let it sit!
And ask of it...
If and When it is ever ready!

Orphan
On looking negative side of human being
we are always lying on the floor because
of misdeed committed by them for their self interest
Realizing never exists in their dictionary
what will happen as a result of their misfortune
Please do not commit these type of error
even than error is committed why you punish to us
Humiliation faced by us is very painful and unbearable
very difficult question is asked and we are empty....who are you
Always feel insulted by people on ground of misdeed of few
Their misdeed not only harm them but also defame parenthood in the universe
However some human kind came to help us
in different form, some adopt us while few give us separate home
but we only want to live with full respect... no question.....related to parenthood.
We are orphan children around universe.

In my hour of desperate need

Oh but why...

You look like you're puffing but
Really only blocking the sun...

Love by heart
If someone loves you by heart
Then it may remain so till the last
Whether you hide it by putting mast
Or bear grudge by raising doubt’s cast
That level may never recede
Even if you agree or totally accede
It is some sort of one time affair
To hold it last is really nice and fair
You may long to see each other
The storm might have been long withered
The ripples may still rise at some level
You may miss it even if try to excel
That is how love in life is evaluated
Where you are or suitably situated
Its importance is never equated
It is not uttered or any where related
It may not be your intent to cry over split relation
Yet it is tragedy that you maintain the wrong notion
Try to mix feelings with present scene
And consequences are definitely felt and seen
Yes that is some sort of integrity
And fine outstanding human quality
What we must understand is its importance?
Its virtue if misunderstood even at once

A total isolation
I feel lonely and think of total isolation
Something has struck to me as surprise revelation
I was shocked over last few days’ development
There was uneasy calm and slow movement
It was out come of some body’s desertion
It was denial of firm commitment or assertion
It was bothering me with concern and too much
I was unable to move freely as such
This loneliness in life is very dangerous stage
You may unable to maneuver or mange
Someone may loose heart from the beginning
Rest may remain calm and always grinning
You feel vacuum and no charm
It may cause great harm
The relation may not remain warm
You may prefer to go out of home and remain at farm
You may cry in wilderness but no one may hear
Pin and agony you alone may bear
There will be nobody to call you as dear
You may be weeping with lots of tears
You may love to be in secluded place
You will try to rub the memory and leave no trace
It is now known to everybody that you have fallen out of grace
You will be looked upon as defeated person who has lost the case
You are crest fallen person on ground
No sympathy is offered to you or found
You may make unsuccessful attempt or round
It is futile attempt and doesn’t look sound
It may take all your Peace and sleep
You may not be freely able to weep
You will be afraid of loosing the face
It has proved you very costly race
It may cause you irreparable damage
It is not less than murder or carnage
It is unbearable on your part to manage
It may send you back by many years in age
Survive the onslaught and come out with roar
You must be able to stand on the floor
There is no use staying in indoor
You have everything good in your store
You may suffer many set backs
You may be fired and sacked
There will still be more shocks
You still have to walk and keep always awake
Isolation is not be the only answer
You can count them on fingers as fewer
What is best solution or remedy?
It should not, result in tragedy or comedy
Come out clean and face the trauma
It may not end in good drama
You are the man to stand fast
It is the end chance last

Life is too short
Life is too short for any vain regretting;
Let dead delight bury its dead, I say,
And let us go upon our way forgetting
The joys and sorrows of each yesterday
Between the swift sun's rising and its setting
We have no time for useless tears or fretting:
Life is too short.
Life is too short for any bitter feeling;
Time is the best avenger if we wait;
The years speed by, and on their wings bear healing;
We have no room for anything like hate.
This solemn truth the low mounds seem revealing
That thick and fast about our feet are stealing:
Life is too short.
Life is too short for aught but high endeavor—
Too short for spite, but long enough for love.
And love lives on forever and forever;
It links the worlds that circle on above:
'Tis God's first law, the universe's lever.
In His vast realm the radiant souls sigh never
'Life is too short.'
