A no to anything
No one does anything for anybody
Only clear hearted people will do for somebody
It is not that they have no choice
They have right vision with clear voice
They know very well that people are selfish
They are fighting themselves and one day may parish
They will carry the hatred till the last breath
They will not regard for even descent death
We are carried away by petty consideration
We have lot many problems and questions
It is not allowing us to think and concentrate
We have only sufferings and tales to narrate
We have confined our selves and prepared to sink
We see nothing beyond it even take care to think
We have lost everything on moral ground
No courtesy or humanity is slightly found
The days may be over without any achievement
The guilty mind may curse you at every moment
How come that does not occur to us at the initial days?
We have plenty of time to come out of it and find the ways
The God is so merciful on us and pardon
Though we may not remember his name and abandon
The right path shown to us for our betterment
What else we can expect from him as better treatment
He is kind enough to provide us everything free
Various kinds of fruits hanging on the tree
No one levies charge on water and air
How much we are honest and fair?
We have failed to deliver the result
We some times hurl abuses and insult
We go on inflicting injuries and cause pain
All good efforts made by others go in vain
It is unfortunate that we learn no lesson
We go on compromising without any reason
We denigrate ourselves as a nice person
How come it can help us in every season?
No one can drag on for indefinite through out
Something has to be done to prevent the rout
How best we can live on earth and be generous?
You can count on belief and work continuous

An honest always suffer
Why do honest people always suffer?
What is reason behind it that they differ?
Why can’t they accept good wishes and offers?
Are they really on right path and true thinkers?
It is an age old tradition that comes on surface
Lots of criticism and comments we have to face
People choose material gain and involve in mad race
They get frustration and disillusion in any case
They will find appropriate place and honor
The present set back can be considered as minor
It may take some times to get established
All their efforts may stand good and not finished
The world may realize its utility
There is scope for its continuity
No use pursuing in its futility
It may be sub standard in quality
All the sufferings and insult is there for honest
It doesn’t pay him desired result even if it best
It may be crucial time or can be considered as test
He will not keep quite and pursue it without rest
His work may not be realized or fall on deaf ears
It may need hard efforts for many more years
It may develop fatigue and body may wear out
He still may opt and go in for it through out
They have nothing to loose at the end
He may not distinguish between foes and friends
He is always there for right cause with reasons
He has same feeling with energy in all the seasons
Let there be unhealthy competition or unreasonable demand
The right people will pursue it till the end
It can’t make any impact on their activities
They may still live with elegance and niceties
You need few people to fall in line with
There lie bare facts with the truth
Anybody can choose for or against
It is really worth to go in and invest
You may suffer initially but ultimately gain
It may prove successful and not go in vain
The tiring efforts are bound to succeed
It may remain within limit and not exceed
The flowers in garden may boom in spring
The birds may build the nest and rest the wings
It is nice place to seek refuge and rest
You may then have beautiful ideas to put on test
The environment and nature also comes to the rescue
We must pay enough attention which is in fact over due
When they are generous all the way in nature
Why can’t we be same for our bright future?

A need to afford
I can’t afford to remain off the guard with endless wait
I follow simple path and go straight
All worldly desires don’t appeals to me and fall on deaf ears
As if everything has been drained out with the passing of years
I remained on guard and thought to work on right
Considered rivals as friends and decided not to fight
Nothing went right as per plan and it failed to deliver
I still remained defiant in belief and firm believer
Let others try anything and go high and dry
I shall always look forward and try
May be that things may not turn to spring surprise
Surely it may not cripple the wings when sun rise
Life is really adventurous
It may prove hard and tortuous
All colors may not remain permanent and fade away
Darkness will be all over with the arrival of bright day
See the goal through clear vision
Expected the blasts through chain of fusion
Greatness may lie not with efforts to ignite but to defuse
Not to vitiate it further in a manner to confuse
Senseless thinking is worst enemy of human being
It may lead to misery and colossal damage to bring
Nothing can help is to retrieve it later on
Battle may be lost even if it is won
You stand firm in your approach
You may need no expertise or coach
You can clearly think of positive result
It may bring laurels and no more insult
Patience is mother of all success and main key
It is necessary to grow and water the tree
How can you expect tree to offer you the fruits
If you neglect the care remove the roots
One has to stand firmly on the ground
In search of new horizons to be found
It may lead to frustration and result in loss of the ground
You may find it later when finished with complete round
You must gather the strength and exploit it later
You may come to be known as statesman and baiter
It may grant you big name in the race
You may be able to assert it with pride and show the face
There is no need to show the laxity on our part
You may have to face shaky beginning from the start
Many may make attempt to stall your move or thwart
It will be glorious end if you integrate and not apart

Serious thought
Gave serious thought and tried to be assertive,
Have some say and never be submissive,
Not to look crook but not also passive,
Easy to take respect and ready to give,
First entry with bang as bride,
Head high with boldness and pride,
Firmness in attitude and nothing to hide,
All happiness and joy to provide,
I had heard all about marriage,
Abort in bad time and miscarriage,
Ill treatment and great insult,
Nothing it to happen without my consult,
Not predetermined or set goal in mind,
Nothing to probe but exact things to find,
Not showing disrespect and manner always kind,
Live to the situation and not to take as blind,
Hubby to be given clear message with love,
My entry in home as good bride and not dove,
Single devotion to him with utmost care,
I was here for all the times and going no where,
I will serve him to the best of my ability,
Showing all regard with care and capability,
Sincere efforts with all the sanity,
Approach bold but intentions with purity,
Neither was I afraid not for its misfire,
Nor had any ideas taken on hire,
Purely conceivable effort and ready to submit,
Any lapses, if pointed out, ready to admit,
Gone were the days when were called toys,
Now we run race and compete with boys,
We may be called butterflies but not so weak,
Time may come when our work may speak,
Whenever I see or hear about the harassment,
I don’t curse or express the lament,
Never I ask for excuse and pass the comment,
I strike hard and make resolve for new advent,
No more atrocities or maltreatment,
All steps to enforce and further prevent,
I shall do it with utmost care,
Not at cost of insanity but with means fare and fun fare

Engraved marble
Why can’t I propagate my faith?
Why m I afraid of sure death
Who can lead me to real religion?
Professors, preachers or so called villains
I find my almighty always around
Bells ring and make me sound
I forget all bitterness and good sense prevail
All propaganda comes to an end and fail
I shall not be carried away by any trick
Even though they torture me with any stick
I shall believe him an his peaceful message
I shall have to prove my worth till the end of an age
No one may remember me by any faith
They may even hesitate to lay wreath
I shall be laid to rest by unknown people
I shall lay here peacefully without any trouble
I wish to put engraved marble near by
People may read the message and try
Who is this unfortunate soul trying to tell?
Life is not worth if we try to prove it as hell
I see nothing special in any religion
Even though they are prevalent in most of the regions
Each one is dominant in belief and conviction
Yes there is love lost and frictions
Peace may evade till you come clear
You will live amidst uncertainty and fear
No religion may guarantees you for safe conduct
They lack moral courage and power to instruct
I shall love to be buried live
Rather face fury and witness nose dive
Fall in moral values and humanity at low ebb
What shall I engrave “Don’t come again and try to stab”?

Cool Water
Words and music by bob nolan
Revised lyrics by joni mitchell
All day I face the barren waste
Without a taste of water
Cool water
Old dan and i
Our throats slate dry
Our spirits cry out for water
Cool clear water
Keep on movin dan
Some devils had a plan
Buried poison in the sand
Dont drink it man
Its in the water
Cool clear water
In my mind I see
A big green tree
And a river flowin free
Waitin up ahead
For you and me
Cool clear water
The nights are cool and Im a fool
Each star is a pool of water
Cool water
But come the dawn
We carry on
We wont last long without water
Cool clear water
Keep on movin dan
Were still in no-mans land
Dry bones and sand
People never planned here for water
Cool clear water
In my mind I see
A big green tree
And a river flowin free
Waiting up ahead for you and me
Cool clear water
The shadows sway
They seem to say
Tonight we pray for water
Cool water
And way up there
If you care
Please show us where
Theres good water
Cool clear water

Joint family
Joint family culture now days not found
It was ideal and was placed very sound
It has made long full circle and round
Now it has disappeared and lost ground
Is it losing its original charm and magic?
They used to provide good humor and comic
There is no immediate solution and remedy
Family remains in tension without any comedy
The economic burden is taking heavy toll
Old people find it very difficult to stroll
Limited space and mobility makes them venerable
They feel neglected and lead the life miserable
How much trouble parents face for bringing their children?
Without kids their life seems sultry and barren
Parents still go for all out efforts to over come
All difficulties they bear with happy face and welcome
The phase is reversed with change of trend
Children grow up with so much to mend
They find it difficult to continue with old
Go for immediate change with old items to be sold
Overnights the parents have become unwanted
Their presence is not liked and unwarranted
They want to have their own world with freedom
They seemed to have run out of wisdom
It is irony of fact that we have run out of courtesy
How can we forget their efforts and majesty?
Do we confine our selves to feel only pity?
Is it the only way to face the situation or reality?
Old people are sometimes pushed to the wall
They are simply shunted from home or hall
Where to go and how to live is only concern?
They tend to forget that tomorrow will be their turn
We need to think in right prospective
Their plight should be considered as subjective
We are not inhuman or live in stage primitive
Deep concern should be made and efforts to revive
We must develop sound mechanism
It should be considered best humanism
Nothing can substitute for good gesture
They are not our past but best future
They should be considered as national heritage
Why we should neglect them because of old age?
They should have all their dues and respect
We need to pay attention and introspect
They have parted everything for our betterment
We should look after out them for good treatment
We should do it as matter of self respect and pride
It should form basis and not attempted to hide
History will not pardon us if we fail on this count
You will not be at ease and heavy pressure will mount
Nothing will go well if they are made to suffer
How can we afford joy if we have nothing to offer?

What is it to me
What is it to me if world does not care?
What I do and go from where to where?
Is it necessary to run for everybody’s wish?
Will it be good to deplete pond from fishes?
I Care only for those who really think about?
Support to me in my worst days or rout
I shall cry for those who bear my agony and share
Treat me with honor and don’t simply stare
I am prepared to walk and do it alone
I may not be deterred by heavy cyclone
I shall continue to Endeavour for noble good
If I can serve a poor person with simple food
It may sound as if I am not ideal person
Keeping away from reality for various reasons
I wish to be part of those who are less fortunate
I sincerely pray for all those to be my inmates
It matters less if I am singled out and pushed
No help forth coming or aid is urgently rushed
I need to pursue the cause with utmost care
I may fail in my mission or doesn’t perform fare
I may stand exposed in the middle of the road
Helpless person watching sky with heavy load
Not for asking any mercy from merciful almighty
Feel so gracious on my fellow men with no pity
You will have to finish it by yourself only
It may not be rosy path but complete thorny
You may invite wrath from people of other walks
Face the rough weather with different talks
I will have to prepare and make my presence felt
Should be prepared to receive blows below the belt
Prepare for any eventuality that maybe thrust
Whole hearted effort and sincere trials must
Life is full circle journey to be carried on
With half hearted attempt no battle can be won
I will have to remain with the people forever
Keeping aloof from all temptations however
Everybody has undergone sufferings at the end
Mixed signals are always received or and sent
It proves our capabilities to withstand it fast
Not letting any one to intrude till the last
Still you will have to take courageous stand
You have to work with more foes than friends
It is not altogether disheartening or discouraging
You should go in for it and completely managing
World may laugh at me for my foolishness
They may try to be intimate with friendliness
How I can manage and come out is real test?
Keeping good distance between two is really best

Only A Limited Time
So 5 days of silence
5 days to compile
5 days to realize
This inner peace will take awhile.
Consumed by brother's weakness
Enraged by father's hate
Only now I've had 5 days
To sit and contemplate.
Showing people sides of me
That they have never seen
Giving out pamphlets
Trying to chart what all this means.
So 5 days to find an angel.
One I thought was lost.
Five days to reconnect
With time that exceeds
All past times lost.
Now I'm regaining energy
It is so hard to behave.
I'm ready to move on to
Passions.
It is real feelings that I crave.
I want to feel beauty
Happiness
Some release.
I say the feeling surpasses
Comfort and soars right on to peace.
5 days to make sure
Heart has to relate straight to mind.
5 days to realize that you
Really want only one flows free kind.
5 days it has been
To get back to ground.
To make sure that
I would not miss out
On this new flow that I have found.
5 days contain so much
5 days that seem so gone
5 days to become lost
5 days to carry on.

A suffering with pain
We are undergoing sufferings and pain
There is no end in sight and all our efforts are in vain
There is complete lack of confidence and brain drain
We on verge of loosing everything including life train
What have we gained from our past experience?
Why life stands at cross road with so much variance?
Have we not decided at all what can be good for us?
Can we not go in with clear mind and full trust?
We stand to loose everything in process
We have lot of problems ahead and got to face
We still remain attached to our views rigidly
We harp on unnecessary things and remember it vividly
This is pushing us to gallows
It never grants freedom or allow
We are not prepared to accept or follow
We cheat our own conscience with promises hollow
This takes us to such a place where there is no comeback
It is possibly a trap and we fail to realize or lack
It is such a tricky place that once you enter
There won’t be any escape route in the centre
We go on committing the blunders and still expect good result
We put self pride at risk and face the possible insult
This is new type of emergence and called new cult
The whole concept is to cheat and new strategies built
Everybody wants easy fame, name and money
It is bad luck on our part and not realized by many
We loose thousand in gambling but for noble cause not even a penny
It is strange but looks not isolated as funny
It is human psychology to go in for easy swim
We aren’t prepared to improve upon or trim
We follow on set norms and look upon others
We feel jealous on others fortune and continuously bother
It may takes to bottom of the things or at lowest ebb
People may try to frown upon you or even snub
You take it as routine matter and don’t resent
You have become shame proof and consent
We are known as selfish animal and go to any length
God has given us enough sense and power to react with strength
It can help only when used with courage and good will
It won’t served any purpose if used for tactics to steal
We may have enough time to improve upon and address
We can avoid unpleasant things in duress
It may definitely help to prevent the disaster
If we leave it to Him who is one and only Master

Make it sure
Why is it so to end it in failure?
Why no one can make it sure?
Why it should hinge only on hope?
The show can either be success or flop
It is always hoped against hope
It is considered as tough walking on rope
Hope only keeps us alive
We must nicely learn how to live
It is always better to try hard and forget
The priority must be decided and set
It is not in your hand to predict the success
Yet you are prepared to accept it and face
Life is meant to learn lesson
It has multi dimension with reasons
It depends upon and varies from person to person
That can not be dealt as do the seasons
You will have to remain firm with your commitment
The efforts must be directed towards good movement
It may yield desirable result in due course
Your invaluable contribution is taken into consideration of course
God has given us clear instinct
We have definite choice to act
It is like catching bull by horns
No alternate even if cautioned or warned
It is do or die struggle
Life is proving as mysterious and puzzle
Not all may witness the shining success
Even if they are lucky to have enough access

Hell Or Heaven
Mama used to say to me
You can make your destiny
Keep your feet planted on the ground
You can always get it back
Make a castle from a one room shack
It's what you make of what you've found
Son you're gonna find out when you're older
There's always been the hand of God
Resting right there on your shoulder
Will it be hell or heaven on Earth
The choice is up to you
Look to the sky, the answer is clear
Are you gonna live life for all it's worth
Choose hell or heaven on Earth
If you live it right
There's nothing to fear
'Cause you'll find heaven right here
Saw a man the other day
Had it made in every way
Till his greed brought him down
He was blinded by the city lights
Now he shivers in the cold at night
Who will save the lifeguard
When he's about to drown
Will it be hell or heaven on Earth
The choice is up to you
Look to the sky, the answer is clear
Are you gonna live life for all it's worth
Choose hell or heaven on Earth
If you live it right
There's nothing to fear
'Cause you'll find heaven right here
You know you're gonna walk on through the fire
You know you're gonna feel the pain
You know you're gonna lose if you wanna win the game
And every time your heart is breakin'
And every time your faith is shaken
Just remember what mama said
Oh yeah
Hope when my time has come
I'm left enough to build upon
Ain't no one gonna say I didn't try
And here's why
Hell or heaven on Earth
The choice is up to you
Look to the sky, the answer is clear
Are you gonna live life for all it's worth
Choose hell or heaven on Earth
If you live it right
There's nothing to fear
'Cause you'll find heaven right here
You'll find heaven right here (x3)

A human mind
I t is like human mind
you got to know and find
be generous and very kind
observe it by not remaining blind
mind should be allowed to be broad
it will think and cut into road
it may shed the fears and think
it may feel free for the doubts to sink
There has to be single and positive thought
no unnecessary provocative thoughts to be fought
one has to determine course of action clearly
Else time may come to pay for it dearly
time and ground to be tested twice
they may look cool and nice
it may prove very deceptive
there is something more to be suggestive
Assess the ground and venture
there may lay a clear future
jump when you are fully sure
with no double mind to assure
no one may come and guide you
it has to be performed by only you
it is folly on our part to expect from others
try to swim to shore and win over

Always There
I'm running away
I've got to get home
I'm lost in a crowd
But I'm still on my own
I'm looking ahead
So I'm staying behind
I'm not being cruel
I'm just being kind
I close my eyes
It's no surprise
I'm always there
Can't count the times
I've tried to hide
And found nowhere
I'm trying to lay low
But I keep getting high
My feet on the ground
Got my head in the sky
My eye on the future
That's stuck in the past
I find I can't lose
When I aim to come last
I realise
It's no surprise
That nothing's clear
That black is white
That day is night
And there is here
I'm right on the ball
But I'm missing the mark
I burn in the sun
I'm scared of the dark
Got an ivory tower
With a bird's eye view
Got plenty of time
But nothing to do
The best disguise
It's no surprise
Is disappear
Can't count the times
I've tried to hide
And found nowhere
I'm running away
I've got to get home
I'm lost in a crowd
But I'm still on my own
I'm looking ahead
So I'm staying behind
I'm not being cruel
I'm just being kind
I realise
It's no surprise
That nothing's clear
That black is white
That day is night
And there is here
The best disguise
It's no surprise
Is disappear
Can't count the times
I've tried to hide
And found nowhere
I close my eyes
It's no surprise
I'm always there
Can't count the times
I've tried to hide
And found nowhere
I realise
It's no surprise
That nothing's clear
That black is white
That day is night
And there is here
The best disguise
It's no surprise
Is disappear
Can't count the times
I've tried to hide
And found nowhere

So kind and merciful
You were so merciful and kind
Rare gesture we will never find
How could we ask Him to perform?
Keep us with peace and love warm
You are savior and protector of this world
The relations are getting strained and cold
We are in dirty games and cheaply sold
Facing misery and terrible pains untold
Where could we go and ask for protection?
You were only available for any holy action
You could do it your self but chose to sacrifice
Send on earth a great soul to fulfill the promise
The wind, rivers and sky made it clear
There won’t be any injustice or fear
He was on earth for our good and betterment
We hardly understood Him as heavenly sent
What was he supposed to carry out?
What were we using him for and talking about?
His eyes spoke of only kindness with love
We made him victim and extremely drove
I felt constrained to see you on cross
What a pathetic show I had to see and it was
How much you could have felt at such pain?
But you did not curse and calmly remained
I have seen you number of times and felt the same
I don’t know where from all strength and tolerance came?
You knew it well that nothing may go right for you
Yet it was very important and equally true
You were for us to carry out the mission
We had no guts for guilt admission
We committed sin with unknown state of mind
We even went on to hang and almost making you blind
We are shameless and unwarranted on this beautiful earth
Even thousands of years may be less with death
Still the love and kindness may last more in years to come
You will be remembered always with hearty welcome

To hold on
Again it is tiring out the spirit
The lantern looses shine as reflects as dimly lit
It is loosing grip slowly and giving away the ground
Nothing seems to be within reach and nicely found
As days try to end
Let whole world come to you and befriend
Let every one know what you did
Have some slice from bread if they need
Had enough of to hold on
Nothing was allowed to be gone
Everything utilized for common good
If anything others can learn from us and digest as food
So what! If the work was not appreciated by a lot
So what! If the battle was lost without firing a single shot
Yet there was enough of gain to show to the world
It was end of hostility and animosity and nothing more to hold
It is making me feel great as if on top the roof
It requires no words for appreciation as proof
It was done with clear aim of giving comfort
The ship was to be anchored safely at the port
How many remained behind me as shield?
How many deserted me in the battle field?
How could tell all that I was not at fault?
It has come from trusted as shock from the bolt
My entire youth is not spent on futile things
It has to do entirely different for something
It had something to do with public awareness
I don’t have to narrate it in any fairness
It will be considered as an affront to pride
It will be of no use if resorted to seek favor and hide
I have done nothing to jeopardize the common interest
It was done all keeping everything in mind and serve as best
Today I am on decline
No one prefers even to sit and dine
It is not the treatment I deserve at the end
I still wish them all the success as best friend
I know it may be raining at my departure
I had prepared for it as I was sure
Not all may realize it as simple courtesy
Someone may definitely come near and convey
Dud, you have done best and may go down as brave
You have done it till the last and have nothing more to save
You may be remembered as bye gone days but with respect
This is known to all as it has always remained as cruel fact

Death is... A Compilation of Death Poetry
(10/05/2000)
Death is when your loved ones must depart
Death is a sharp pain to the heart
Death is a feeling of permanent sadness & pain
Death is when your loved ones have forever gone away
Death is a call to heaven or hell
Death is an eternal mansion or cell
Death is a lesson to learn about
Death is a loss, without a doubt
Death is an unhappy feeling to have
Death is unpleasant on anyone's behalf
Death is something we all will go through
Death is a storm waiting to brew
Death is a lingering crow always overhead
Death is a soul, done being fed
Death is cruel,
Death is unfair,
Why death?
Does death care?
Death is unkind,
Death breaks hearts,
Why death?
Do you like to part?
Death is here,
Death is there,
Why death?
Why be everywhere?
Death is the end,
Death is to die,
Why death?
To make people cry?
Death was created,
Death is still here,
Why death?
We live in fear,
Death is death,
Death is dead,
Why death?
Because death said.
Death is forever, so don’t flirt with death
Death is painful, so stay away from knifes
Death is not for lovers, so don’t die
Death is not for me, so don’t even try
Death is never clear, so be careful
Death is never fun, so stay away from strangers
Death is never pleasing, so don’t get caught up in the hype
Death is never fair, so get use to it
Death is always occurring, so don’t forget it
Death is never what u expect, so expect the unexpected
Death is not for you, so please don’t give up
Death is forever, so don’t forget that

Sudden call
Sudden call from your inner conscience
No use to sit idle and see across fence
Time is running short and has to pack
Final journey with no possible come back
What did you earn during life span?
Did you serve well yourself or clan?
Was there any remorse on your part?
Did you outwit or tried to outsmart?
Prepare self for possible journey
Nothing to accompany including money
Leaving the land with open eyes
Relative may say weep sad good byes
You may undergo deep anguish and pain
Your all efforts will be futile and in vain
You may look miserable helpless
Looking at sky with eyes clueless
You may wonder why you failed.
Were you confined with life or jailed?
Did that serve and useful purpose?
What is left for you now to suppose?
You may try to look bank and analyze
Try to feel pity and gesture to sympathize
Something to speak but fail to deliver
Living organs die slowly including lever
You may slowly slip into coma stage
You may try to regain but unable to manage
All memories may surface as pinching salt
You may feel it deeply with final assault
Thousand of thought may invade mind
You may not have escape route to find
Eventually you may relent and accept the reality
Life’s misadventure and its overall futility
Nothing goes along except good will or gesture
No one may remember you in near future
All your lifework may soon to evaporate
Good work may speak for people to narrate
Life to end with body to be laid
Two words of praise always said
Nothing rests with body or soul
Night may look odd with voice of owl
Departure or end may coincide with mission
May be there so many emissions or omissions
Thousands of problems with unanswered questions
Its end may be tragic or ………………..

Am unable to understand
Unseen should be seen
I am eager and keen
So far where have you been?
You are symbol of queen
I have adored and admired
I feel exhausted and tired
An end of road seems difficult
Despite earnest efforts still no result
I tried o probe your mind
I failed to understand and find
You were there symbol of love and very kind
You were unsure yourself and did rescind
You loved to be seen around
The joy and happiness always found
It perfectly matched and looked sound
It was gaining momentum and held the ground
All of sudden you preferred to disappear
Left me alone to live with agony and to bear
I wished some sweet words from her to hear
She stood all the times to me very dear
That did not happen as miracle
It was difficult moment or cycle
I couldn’t guess or believe
It added to tension but not relieved
It gave me little insight to guess
She appeared very beautiful in dress
She stood as symbol of love and peace
I had no control over feelings to release
It is saddest ever unforgettable moment
I was not in position to comment
The air too stopped its cool movement
I stood motionless to offer any vent
Love is inseparable part of life and must stay
It must rule over heart and have clear say
No one can or must break it for any reason
It is sign of good human and as nice person
I was for sure that it may find suitable answer
Not all may be lucky to enjoy it however
I had no reservation to seek few favor
It was her choice to show discomfort and disfavor
She had preference and own reason to remain in oblivion
It was my turn now to go back seek place in pavilion
The race was over and result was openly known
It was well judged move and decision of her own
The love birds fly together to find new nests to seek refuge
They may lay eggs and allow no one to come near by or refuse
It is strong zeal to stay together for any times to come
Life is to be spent in happiness when they come back home
I don’t want to think about the mystery that how it did take place
I had unbearable pain that no body could take it away or replace
I may have to suffer it whole life with not a single word to utter
I will have to keep it in strong heart wall and the shutter

Solution Present
If you don't say and admit
You are not human and at all fit
Blot on humanity and expresses weakness or inability
No one is perfect, must understand and act
We are helpless animal
Even though called human
We act some times cruel
And role played is also dual
So speak different and act contrary
Claim for credit when it is not necessary
No courtesy for friends and adversary
The trend changes all of sudden as it is temporary
We are powerful enough to boost little achievement
But take no care to offer words for resentment
We feel bad at heart but conceal it skillfully
As if cheated an intelligent person successfully
Try to adopt a stand that can be called conciliatory
The explanation must be honest confession and not story
It speaks well of a person to admit drawbacks frankly
Some of it can be admitted openly and spoken gently
I wish to be part of similar society
Where one can openly admit as guilty
'All your sins are washed off by Him'
'If admitted with clear heart before him'
I shall not hesitate to ask for apology
That can be best option available in society
People are liberal enough to offer forgiveness
Such noble gesture can be very well seen on face
One thing should be made sure and understood
Not all the fair practice must be digested as food
Sometimes other acts are also needed to protect
Life can't be put at risk if demands force to react
Truth admission is alright to certain extent
It may provide food to realize for moment
Yet it has some limitations and needed close look
One should not remain dependant for solution present in book

Eager to Learn
On many levels you were told and shown.
In many ways,
The questions you now ask were raised,
And answered.
But the times were too early.
And in those days you shoveled away,
The best advice...
Like snow and ice on your path!
You wanted your outlook to be the one,
With stubbornness to last.
On many occasions you were there in debate.
Waiting to win,
An opinion given.
And even then you made decisions,
You often would regret.
Listening to comprehend,
Some folks like you have never learned to do!
And a suffering for them like yours,
Begins to sink through.
I was a victim myself...
Of a thick skull,
Protecting hard headedness.
Restricted by an ego I would not let go!
And lessons taught I ignored,
To do those things I thought were best.
Until I got tired,
Of blocking my own happiness.
On many levels you were told and shown.
In many ways,
The questions you now ask were raised,
And answered.
Perhaps in these days...
You now feel you are crazed.
And your ways like others you have followed...
Have left you dazed in sorrow.
But tomorrow,
If you let it...
Will come to please with teachings.
And you will be eager to learn...
How to patch those bridges burned.
