A dubious presentation
It is known fact and widely acknowledged
We are used to the life which is double edged
We do exactly the opposite and pretend
Presentation of rosy picture likely to send
No one should be blamed for this intentional act
It is inherently inbuilt with possible intention to react
No on may be prepared to accept it as exposure
They will resort to any avail means to make it sure
We laugh at our own folly
Don’t share the blame wholly
Pass the buck and defend on false pretext
Yield to irrelevance and quote out of context
No on e can this mean mentality
It is draw back and we can feel only pity
We may try to present it in dubious manner
It can’t be detected by any scanner
We have certainly mastered the art
Others are fool and we are only smart
It may be met with very good break and start
It will be equally painful when we are forced to part
The end result may be on expected lines
We all may be running after false shine
Who will prefer to be on gloomy side?
The difference in perception in very wide
We go on protecting the falsehood
The perceptional difference is not at all understood
It may give momentary joy or relief
You may know it well but won’t strengthen your belief
We realize the facts but pretend not to know
We also know it may prove as disastrous blow
We seriously go for it and prefer to grow
It is naturally a step forward to push us into gallows

A person non-grata
I am person non-grata for the activities carried on
Not by state for illegal activities but for good work done
But by my own people for delivering good
As I was coming in their way and solidly stood?
It is birth right to stand for real freedom
Not by thoughts but for action with wisdom
There is no use of sending people to face bullets
The war has to be won over by only ballets
I have nothing to loose but nothing gain too
It has been know fact and very true
Many forewarned me of dire consequences
I was still prepared for any bad sequences
Many futile attempts were made on me physically
I was not at all against them basically
There was wide ranging difference in approach
I was not at all preferred to them as coach
There are deliberate clashes in defined areas
There complete unawareness for repeated pleas
It has been taken as weakness and cowardice act
We can only use only possible means to react
No one should seriously take on struggle
They are for peaceful agitation and unarmed people
What do we do to strengthen their peaceful cause?
Can’t they think positive and maintain relative pause?
How many may be prepared to shed their lives?
Who will honestly make attempt or seriously strive?
This is not for one man to think or decide
The perceptional difference is very wide
Let us build a healthy union
Make all the attempts for good lien
Let us build it together as one force
No ill feelings, bitterness or remorse

I Cant Pretend
Charles tobias / paul rusincky (w. edward breuder? )
I cant pretend
Im sorry were apart
I cant pretend
I just cant fool my heart
Though I make mine
My friends all seem to realize
Their smiles, that look in my eye
I cant pretend
I simply cant be gayer
For in the end
My tears give me away
Without you dear
I live a lie
I cant defend
I love you
And I cant pretend

Good To Know
Good to know
It is good to know all
Acquaint nicely and pay a call
Accept or reject by simple choice
Never fool a person with false promises
World is full of different people
Some extend help and others create trouble
Yet we accept them as mere compulsion
There is full knowledge but we raise no question
It is equally good to love everybody
But that should not be the botheration for anybody
If they poke unnecessarily and interfere
They should be told frankly without fear
In doing so you may avoid the company of few
Pay scant respect and never accept their views
In normal dealing that may stand good
The difference or choice is clearly understood
We may be feeling uneasy with lot many of them
We have no means to tackle but receive unnecessary blame
Such people cause irritation in mind
We go all out to shut the door and wish never to find
Some are irrational and few may be really concerned
They may come to rescue when really cornered
Any assistance, that may be needed, is sincerely offered
It is nice to reciprocate in a manner even if opinion is differed
We will have to choose the people of lesser evils
Some may try to over impose and try to grill
Yet human mind is such that you can't avoid
We have to meet the challenge and fill the void
We may want to disregard someone but can't do
The situation may force us to reason and pass through
That may create irritation but serve the purpose
In that case we must know the human art and put in use

Indifference / Alive
I will light the match this mornin' so I won't be alone
Watch as she lies silent for soon that will be gone
Oh I will stand arms outstretched pretend I'm free to roam
I will make my way through one more day in hell
How much difference does it make
How much difference does it make
I will hold the candle till it burns up my arm
Oh I'll keep takin' punches ha-ha until their will grows tired
Oh I will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind
Hey I won't change direction and I won't change my mind
How much difference does it make yea
How much difference does it make how much difference
I'll swallow poison until I grow immune
I will scream my lungs out till it fills this room
How much difference (x2)
How much difference does it make yea
How much difference does it make

From start to an end
I have precious thing in my possession
I have got it from heaven as concession
I always prayed from God for generous heart
I feel it is with me from the beginning or start
I wish everybody is blessed with
So much is commented upon it is surrounded by myth
If person is having all the comforts at his disposal
The life will be useless if lacks the courage to accept good proposal
There are gloomy people to be found around
Some of the things are difficult to understand and find
They shed the tears over somebody’s success
Their only remorse is not having that much access
I have come across some of the good saying
No one may actually go in for buying
The time has come for all the difference burying
The need or importance is already lying
What we had you had in or possession that has been lost?
What we have gained so far and at what cost?
What are all things may accompany when we depart?
I could name a single thing pointed out to me from the start
I have decided to spend whatever I have
For the noble cause when it needs to behave
If all prefer to go blindly for material benefit?
Who will care for Poor’s aspirations and meet
I may prefer to render few pieces of advice
It will be good on my part to be wise
It will definitely be appreciated if something I acceded to
We may be doing something worthwhile and very true
Many festivals fall during the year and peacefully pass off
We may be spending lavishly like cigar’s puff
It is good to enjoy the occasion but in true spirit
At least keep mercy at heart and love when openly greet
So many may be wishing to celebrate it with fun fare
They may not have means to go any where
You may find half clad person’s on the road
Living happily though with compulsion and carrying the load
I wish if I can share their one tear
That may give some feelings to bear
One of the cruelest factors of real life
Where everything is like sharp edge of knife
I may not have enough means to share their burden
Unhappiness and miseries that has befallen all of sudden
If I can cry for moment and participate for a second even
I shall consider my self as worthiest human being then

A real reflection
Why I looked so beautiful in mirror?
Was that indication of grave error?
Was the mirror so furious about my nature?
Was it unnatural for it to forecast my future?
People used to call me as an ugly man
I was feeling so much shame as human
Was I the only one blessed with darkness on face?
Why God was kind enough to cause me embarrass?
“He ugly, where are you going” people used to tease
They seemed to get joy and feel so pleased
This was causing me pain and agony in mind
Why people behaved in different manner with posture so unkind?
No one looked at my kindness and generosity
I used to help poor and aged with simplicity
I never refused anybody and maintained amity
Many may come and console me on the condition of anonymity
I suffered severe setback in mind and most hated person
No one cared even to ask me for explanation and troubled without any reason
Was it to be taken as curse from almighty or consider it as living hell?
Nothing was going normal and time too was not proving very well
Why then mirror was deceiving its quality as true reflector?
Why was I forced to live in falsehood with wrong indicator?
If mirror was the real reflection then someone was playing game?
Who else were there answerable for the total mess and to be blamed?
I gathered the strength and again stood before the naked mirror
Why was I feeling so much agitated in mind with furor?
I saw the face with two eyes, mouth nose without any terror
Everything was there as expected to be in human without any censor
What small patches and black face had to do with my identity?
I stood there as human being with all parameters of entity
I tried to understand the difference between outer and inner look
I definitely out scores them as gentleman but did not label them as crook
I did not try to find any excuse to blame the human mentality
I could well define and understood the reason behind futility
Though I stood condemned in their eyes for being ugly and clumsy
So many painted me as noble human being and drew the picture rosy
Soon I was to prove both mirror and people very wrong in their concept
They were wholly not true to their character and correct
They were to discharge their function as true representative
Who were we on earth to judge His creation and prove insensitive?

The Message
SEND home my long stray'd eyes to me,
Which, O! too long have dwelt on thee;
Yet since there they have learn'd such ill,
Such forced fashions,
And false passions,
That they be
Made by thee
Fit for no good sight, keep them still.
Send home my harmless heart again,
Which no unworthy thought could stain;
Which if it be taught by thine
To make jestings
Of protestings,
And break both
Word and oath,
Keep it, for then 'tis none of mine.
Yet send me back my heart and eyes,
That I may know, and see thy lies,
And may laugh and joy, when thou
Art in anguish
And dost languish
For some one
That will none,
Or prove as false as thou art now.

No Memo From You Did I Receive
What would 'you' prefer?
That I pretend I am not a writer,
With an interest that is expressed.
Or would you prefer I stay within boundaries,
Your mind has restricted to your limitedness?
Or would you prefer,
I reflect more of what you suspect I should be?
And would your suspicions have their development,
Centered from your perceptions?
Either way,
No memo from you did I receive.
And I admit,
Guessing is not what I do best.
And the only tests I 'prefer' to pass,
Are my own.

Sonnet: The Fool
Who would prefer to hit the ball same side?
Who loves to accept defeat without fight?
Who would knowing rules, by them not abide?
Who would prefer darkness to that of light?
Who would give birth and try to kill one's child?
Who would betray his master who feeds him?
Who prefers severe punishment to mild?
Who would want life to turn gloomy and grim?
A fool will keep his body, mind, unclean!
A fool will risk his life for stupid things;
A fool may think, he can do sin unseen;
A fool self-praises his follies and sings!
Who would dare climb an electrified fence?
Who would not pay heed to his common-sense?

No Pretence
You don't have to pretend
But remain alert and carefully attend,
Whatever is the happiness and joy?
Make little choice and secretly enjoy,
It shall make you to feel at ease
Once you prefer contentment
Then there is no scope for discontentment
You can leave behind everything for the moment
No one should pretend to be perfect
As it may require honest act
This fact must be clear and borne in mind
Reason out your approach or find
When it comes to the purity of thought?
It is seriously taken and fought
There is simplicity and no pretence
It is understood with single sentence

Make A Difference Today
i want to be a blessing to you
with all my might, i can give it to you
i can offer a ride, a penny or two
just to make you smile, please don't be blue
i can send you a card, a gift, a call
so you will be standing tall
i want to give you the best today
and make a difference for you to stay

God will always be there for you
And my hugs to keep you through

Running All Day
I see him on TV and everyday you can see me
getting more wound up by the fact that he's loved
You dont know who he is, I was once that kid
Fans screaming my name but now there not.
And I know who's to blame.
He took it all from me everything that I own
Left me with nothing broke and unknown
If theres one thing I know im gonna take it all back
The gloves are off and anyway that I can
rip him down from ontop of that thrown
Then we'll see whos really unknown
standing toe to toe he doesn; 't stand a chance
He's gonna learn the hard way what it means to be a man.
Running all day
Gunning all night
Be prepared to give your own life.
Running all day
Gunning all night
Be prepared to take another mans life.
Knocked down once, get up again
Knocked down twice see the other man dead.
Led to war by the skin of our teeth
Friends and enemies share the same seats.
They're sweet together cos they know what its like
To live this life that takes you by suprise.
Anytime, day or night, priority one just to stay alive.
And that's what you just cant see
The fact that your just not me
You cant ask questions bout living this life, only ones that know already those that died.
Running all day
Gunning all night
Be prepared to give your own life.
Running all day
Gunning all night
Be prepared to take another mans life.
But this is it no place left to go
your gonna hand it back everything that you stole
and now we're patiently gonna wait and see
what the world has to say bout you and me
If they'll take you side after all this time
and believe the lies that you drove inside
but I still have faith that its not a dead end race
and I place my life in the hands of the good lords grace
Running all day
Gunning all night
Be prepared to give your own life.
Running all day
Gunning all night
Be prepared to take another mans life.

Anybody can.....
Nobody can save you from committing blunder
Rain may also not stop even after thunder
Steps once taken forward can’t be taken back
Nothing can be considered when you are given sack
Some of the things can’t be retrieved once committed
Nothing can be added later on if once it is omitted
Relation can’t be improved upon if once broken
If you maintain it throughout it is sign of good token
Love to live with whatever you have and let others also live
Don’t think otherwise and impose your thoughts even if you believe
It will generate negative effect and bound to suffer
We hold different identity and certainly will differ
You may have tremendous energy to follow correctly with perception
You may infuse new lease of life right from the inception
What is most desired from a person is not lack of his vision?
But his ability to steer the course without any further division
This is how we accept and understand the life philosophy
It may not alter the stated position of any country or geography
It may, on the other hand, strengthen the belief and make the way
For better understanding among the people and have clear say
We do many things unknowingly out of frustration
It has nothing to do with good or bad presentation
Merely it speaks of unstable mind of sick person
Whole chain of problem starts without any reason
It may go unnoticed till you are publicly condemned
Whole blame is passed on you and simply fined
It becomes matter of great regret when brought to light
There may be no use at all even if you offer good fight
Well have your own way and clear say too
Pass the hurdle with clear vision and see through
It will have wide implications when seen the intention
You may need no more steps for prevention

The Way I Am
Sometimes i don't wanna say thanks
Sometimes i don't wanna say sorry
What i'm not is what i can't pretend
I prefer to live life with no worries
I have a heart to teach me the good and the bad
And a mind of my own to guide me
I can't learn from you what you've learned
I prefer to die with no one beside me
I can't let my hurt reach anothers heart
I can't let other take shower in my pain
I love to say goodbye and hide my scar
I prefer to walk alone in rain
Making me say thanks or sorry
Isn't gonna prove who i am
God knows my whole story
I am as the way i am

A highs stage fever
People never give up falsehood and pretence
It lacks wisdom, powerful teeth and essence
It serves nothing except to grab in some sympathizers
It is some sort of highlighting personal matters
True love never demands single words of praise
It gives air to unnecessary rumors and raise
Many eyebrows to take the lower note of it
Then exploit it to situation which makes them to fit
It is true love can not be measured
You need no one to make you feel assured
Who will come and question until it is aired?
There will not be any fire until it is ignited and flared
Everybody has dignity and honor of staying aloof
Never to be compared with any one as solid proof
It is intentional way of gaining some sympathy from few
The truth of sun light may force them to vanish like dews
It leads a person no where with ire and anguish
Life does not come to an end or finish
It makes a person to come out with resolute face
What n sympathizers word can make one to win the race?
It is individual choice to walk straight with head high
He can aim high and add imaginations to fly
The reality does not change at all with falsehood
It is to be clearly borne in mind and clearly understood
I believe it is simple way of making people fool
Fall in line with misrepresentation and playing it cool
As coin stands with two sides to represent
The lines clearly lacks the wisdom and is absent
Some people may readily jump in to offer sweet words
Coupled with good use of oratory for looking forward
It smacks of bad tactics to push a person on wrong side
A sensible person will not disclose a bitter memory and hide
How one can raise a head and walk with honor?
When there is complete loss of trust uncalled for?
Will the street people come and address the issue?
It is only individual who will raise his head high and rescue
Everyone is passing through same phase with trauma
No one presents gloomy picture with sensational drama
It needs better sense of understanding and realization
Everything can be sorted out without raising any questions
Life hangs on bare thread of trust
It is very much essential and must
It further worsens the situation
If it is not stopped and allowed continuation
What a pity to present face with broken heart?
What one is trying to present at the start?
It can only be termed as poetic skill or an art
It will be uneasy to ride and make journey in cart

When Youve Got What It Takes
When youve got what it takes
Youve got nothing to hide
Youve got miles of feelings
And acres of pride
Youve got it
Youve really got it
When you know who you are
Then you live what you feel
You give what you can
And its good when youve really got it
And when youve got it
(*) let it out
Let it show
Letem know
Inside youve got it
Let it shine like a fine tomorrow
For when you do
The feeling comes back to you
What a difference it makes
When youve got what it takes
What a difference it makes
When youve got it
When youre sure of your heart
Then you give it away
And love is a promise
You keep every day
You know it
And when you know it
You begin to believe
Youll do more than survive
That the best part of being is being alive
You feel it
And when you feel it
Repeat (*)
When a difference it makes
When youve got what it takes
What a difference it makes
When youve got it
When a difference it makes
When youve got what it takes
What a difference it makes
When youve got it everyday

A day never same again
The days can not remain same
No efforts should made to blame
The same mood can be maintained
The feelings can be easily explained
Where are those moments of golden pride?
Why do we forget them and hide?
They are no less important in today’s context?
They can be useful in passing present test
We learn from past mistakes and go ahead
It becomes easier to forge and lead
We started to learn from the day one
This was our concern and can be solved by none
Agony, pain and anguish may for part
We need to forget all and have fresh start
This is how fresh water can be flowed
The stagnation can never be allowed
When we start to know the fellow human being
New dimension is added and something is assured of to bring
It mat relate to efforts for bringing new kind of thinking
Where all can be lifted for good without any fear of sinking
We have same feeling in songs
Love, sympathy and brotherhood expressed in words
No show of deception and sincerity in approach
God too is willing and helping in such
Any one can search the soul and ask
What lay before him as dedicated task?
What does he do to strengthen the movement?
So the humanity survives to an extent
Not all can be lead to believe in what is said?
It is practice for self and conditions not to be laid?
What can be influenced most in daily routine?
As the emergence of sun plays part with sun shine
The truth is simple to be understood like day light
No one can prove it wrong or right
It is reality and has all the essence of truthfulness
Only we can have little try to prove its usefulness
I have all the rights to give shape to future
No one can come and apprise me to make it sure
Lord has give us sense to choose between two
I shall choose the simple one which is true
I am sacrificing nothing for cause
It is expected from all because
This is simple way of falling in line
Rest all can be expected very fine
It was never a problem in present or past
Now the life has changed and moving very fast
No one has got little time to devote for fresh beginning
It can be made as love sport with fresh inning

I Am Grown Up Man
I am grown up man with all the responsibilities
Time to show its worth with talent and capabilities
No one later on should blame me for not trying
I know there is no use over split milk with crying
“Childhood is far better than this age” I argued
But you can’t remain inclined and possessively viewed
“Life is meant for change” I endorsed
Life is thrust and needs to be forced
What a struggle to keep on with situation!
Feet sometimes crumble with its continuation
Yet inbuilt confidence makes determined effort
Nothing can prevent us from reaching to port
This transformation from childhood to young age
Makes me to wonder and think about strength to manage
How there was absolutely nothing on the blank page!
And now it is full of golden letters to guess
There is enough of skill as god gift in all the insects
Everybody reacts to the situation and reasonably act
The meaning of life is understood and certainly pursued
Often the course is altered and constantly reviewed
Means and achievements are inter related
It lands you in trouble if not understood and over rated
It has to be precision guided and to the spot
The result is on expected lines and certainly brought
I was made to under understand about hazards
What precaution should be taken when looking forward?
Life and death should never be thought over in mid stream
Goal must be pursued even if could not form the team
Life was proving to be deep and wide ocean
It is very much difficult to stay and come clean
Since I was very much part of the race
I got to swim over and reach the shore in any case
Life teaches us to hold together and ward of the crisis
There is so much thrust and laid down emphasis
Sometimes we may err and some times meet the success
Still it is not roses of bed and required good chase
I may have enough of time to assess what I did
What was to be done in time and agreed?
Yet it will not absolve me from the complete blame
Life time chance should have been picked as it came

Now some guys,

Playin loose, playin fast,

I'll give her my affection, never let her down
when the right girl comes along.

for the biggest payoff

But this time,
now I know what I feel.
Got a handle on it.
Now I'm livin' it real.
There's been so many others,
so many empty nights.
That was never me anyway.
It was just a lonely boy
who was lookin for his life.

Only noble soul feels
Only noble soul feels the pinch of the salt
It is matter of pride to exalt
No one admits the sin or fault
Keeps closely guarded secret in vault
You feel something bad
And in turn feel very sad
Everybody is naked beneath
This is driving force to reckon with
It is unique to feel guilt
This fabric is real and inbuilt
Not all can have such realization
It is for the human being to feel elation
If you feel internally for such things
You will certain come across many things
How much hatred we bear in our small mind?
It intensity can never be felt or easily open to find
Some of the people have mastered the art
They will get smell from the very start
They will hold it deep in their chest
Nothing will come out of it even if you are your best
Such people can play havoc
They can go to any extent and treat it as joke
It is simple game for their normal behavior
Even though they have proved coward and not warrior
I have seen bad consequences from such attitude
A person will never trust with any such gratitude
He will definitely bear grudge and try to level score
The wrong done to him will not be tolerated any more
It is matter of common sense and all live by it
Only intelligent and strong may be considered as fit
The deceptions and reprisals in life are common
One must accept the reality and should continue to live on
It is personal matter to feel positive side
The subject is vast and very wide
One may feel contended with whatever he has
There is no need for him to chase
These are some of the vital aspects
It deals with nobility and commands respect
The persons comes to be known as very noble
As life seems to him not more than water bubble
He can afford to feel different way
Normal man may avoid and try to stay away
For him survival is most crucial part
He needs all comforts with good start
Human tendency is like snake
He will try to be cautious and awake
Nothing can fool him or shake
He will know who is right or fake
Some may act noble even at personal cost
They consider their life part as humble most
For them material game in dubious manner is sin
They will repent even done anything wrong to win
