Complete turn
I made complete "U" turn
When feared that fingers may burn
There is enough time later on to learn
If life is spared then there are ways to earn
Not all the people get success
Even with enough of input and access
You got to be vigilant and cautious
The hunt should always be on and continuous
First of all you should know how to bargain
Even if that involves extra efforts with little pain
Enough of thrust should be carved out and made
Care must be taken and attention should be paid
Some of the people are quick to adopt the change
They know how to come out of it and manage
They will loose no concentration and retain composure
This will give them time to recover and make it sure
You can call me as one among them
I put my self exactly in the frame
There arises no doubt about my competence
I grab the opportunity if offered by chance
Let us not become victim of circumstances
You should have accurate mind with complete presence
If that needs some kind of deviation in the route
Mind should act fast to avail the chance and suit
Wealth and chances are matter of particular moment
There is distinct possibility and not always present
If one wants to be successful and famous
He should build confidence and trust
If beaten once doesn't mean always
Sun may appear again with bright rays
We are supposed to wait for opportune time
Lick may fail or help you sometimes

Where all your teeth?
"Grandpa, where all your teeth have done"
I was taken a back for query taken
She was my grand daughter asking where about
Of teeth that had fallen or faced route
I regained some confidence
Took to courage and faced
All her questions
And started to speak with clear mention
May be they are all shunted out
I told with clear voice for their fall out
"They were shaking and causing me pain"
So I did away with their whole chain
"Your eyes too look so big in glass"
Why do I find it enlarged with typical class?
I had kept ready made answer
She was not convinced but did not push further
"Your vision gets blurred"
"So new sets of glasses are offered"
I tried to make it look simple
She kept quiet and did not put me in trouble
Grandpa, you are kind and generous
Everybody respects as you seem to be famous
I was little bit elated with her innocence
She was altogether perfect in her brilliance
I could see happiness rush on my face
The children were around for all such grace
I have complete control over my utterances
As I take no exception to any occasion for such chances
Children are eager to know about our past
How did we spend our youth and last?
What was the situation at that time?
And so on for their eagerness sometimes
You may be trapped for your ignorance
If you slip your tongue even at once
They may quote you with same sentence
Such is the child's mind with unique presence

Krafty
Some people get up at the break of day
Gotta go to work before it gets too late
Sitting in a car and driving down the road
It ain't the way it has to be
But that's what you do to earn your daily wage
That's the kind of world that we live in today
Isn't where you wanna be
And isn't what you wanna be
*chorus*
Give me one more day (one more day)
Give me another night (just another night)
I need a second chance (second chance)
This time I'll get it right (This time I'll get it right)
I'll say one last time (one last time)
I've got to let you know (I've got to let you know)
I've got to change my mind (I've got to change my mind)
I'll never let you go (I'll never let you go)
You've got to look at life the way it oughta be
Looking at the stars from underneath the tree
There's a world inside and a world out there
With that on tv you just don't care
They've got violence, wars and killing too
All shrunk down a two-foot tube
But out there the world is a beautiful place
With mountains, lakes and the human race
This is where I wanna be
And this is what I wanna do
Give me one more day (one more day)
Give me another night (just another night)
I need a second chance (second chance)
This time I'll get it right (This time I'll get it right)
I'll say one last time (one last time)
I've got to let you know (I've got to let you know)
I've got to change my mind (I've got to change my mind)
I'll never let you go (I'll never let you go)
Just give me one more chance (one more chance)
Give me another night (just another night)
With just one more day (one more day)
You know I'll get it right (You know I'll get it right)
I'll say one last time (one last time)
I've got to let you know (I've got to let you know)
If I could change your mind (If I could change your mind)
I'll never let you go (I'll never let you go)

A full attention
How much a person can be persuaded to fall in line?
To what extent he can be made comfortable and feel fine?
This is debatable point and must be paid full attention
It is very much crucial and deserves circulation and full mention
At certain level, weak human mind surrenders to circumstances
He is forced end the life out of despair at once
Such stage can be warded off with some positive infusion
It can save the situation arising out of confusion
Solace and advice form two formidable pillars for strength
The individual can be persuaded to act on same wave length
The time help and proper guidance can bring him new hope
Otherwise life is considered stiff challenge as if to walk on rope
Hope and despair can drive a person to nut
There may be many ifs and buts
Still doors are not closed for future recovery
Timely help and consolation is not new discovery
When person is seized of certain problems
No amount of persuasion may work for them
It is taken and considered as futile attempt
It may leave him helpless with no option left
It is not that he is not aware of the escape routes
Only problem is he is unable to reach the end or roots
This leaves him in the helpless state with no answer
No one may stand by him and extend possible help ever
It is human psychology not to board a sinking ship
It is also customary to choose set path as followed by sheep
No may try for new route to explore the possibility
There is hardly any doubt for his ability
Two sweet words can perform miracle
It helps to change the reverse cycle
It gives person a respite and chance to think
One a risk is over then ship may be salvaged and not sink
It can be guided back to calling port
The individual too can recover with active support
Once anchored at free berth the service can be rendered
The person too can be restored to confidence when offered
It helps to build and recover the lost ground
Ups and down can be in any field and found
One may face reversals or setbacks despite being cautious
The risk involved in it is not temper ray but always continuous
It is individual’s best efforts and reliance
It may help him to come out even if at odd or variance
The most important part is application of mind and compliance
The immediate sense of acknowledging the reversal and not defiance

Once In A Lifetime
"I know I'm a down and out, wet and freezing cold,
but what do you want from one who feels so old.
Go away, leave me alone, so I can get some sleep
and maybe with luck God will my soul keep.
What do you want? I've got nothing at all for you,
even my aching body is aged and worthless too.
Maybe you're a Samaritan here to do me a good turn?
Oh go away, I'm too old to change or learn."
"What would you say if I could make you well again,
give you a younger body free from pain? "
"Do you think I'm mad or are you completely insane,
who do you think you are to make such a claim? "
"I am not an empty vessel; I only say what I can do,
and I will help you, but you have to help me too.
Ah, I see you're thinking… well, what do you say old man?
No one else can offer this, there's only me that can?
If you turn me down you'll be dead in a very short time;
what've you to lose, why should you decline? "
"And I suppose all you want is my God given soul,
my only possession that's undamaged and whole.
Throughout my entire life, it's been of no use to me,
and yet you want it, in exchange for my misery."
"How did you happen to know it was your soul I desired,
do you believe the stories that I'm by evil inspired?
You people have been grossly misinformed about me,
if I was really evil would I set your pain free,
give you a new life, guaranteed for three more years,
why, such a deal would reduce any man to tears.
Come on old man, before it's too late, what do you say,
are we going to make a deal before you slip away?
Your soul is worthless to you when you're dead and gone,
this is your last chance to live a new life from now on."
"If we can agree to five years instead of three for my soul,
what will happen to me when I've paid my toll?
Will my soul burn forever in that place they call hell,
be tormented and tortured, like I've heard tell? "
You don't want to listen to malicious fairy tales and lies,
which are used to frighten children and the unwise.
As a collector of souls I've been stigmatised by what I do
by the so called honest and religious amongst you.
The truth is hell doesn't really exist, so no one goes there,
and all the other stuff is just a religious scare.
So, with the souls I gather I simply unite them together
so that as soul mates they can remain forever.
"Is it true that we have to have a contract signed in blood,
with everything agreed and understood? "
"This too is superstitious nonsense and it gets under my skin,
but if that's what you want, it's a good way to begin.
"In this modern age a teardropp to seal the contract will do,
and from this day all I promised will be granted to you.
And in four years from now your soul will become mine,
so make the most of your life, and have a good time."
The following four years passed by as though one day
and the payment of a soul is due without delay.
"Hello my friend, you look exceptionally well and healthy,
your four years has not been a waste of time I see."
"I've had an excellent time and I want to thank you a lot,
but is it possible to postpone the contract we've got? "
"How dare you have the audacity to take me as a fool,
do you honestly think I'll break a fundamental rule?
Now listen old man, a deal is a deal and that's a fact,
and its all been signed for in our contract.
Now give me a sealing teardropp from your eye,
and then we can say our last goodbye."
"I'm sorry, it's not medically possible I have dry eyes,
and operations have in vain been tried."
"This is no use to me! I've said it before, a deal is a deal
you'll have to sign it off using blood as the seal! "
"I won't sign in blood, things are different in my life,
I have responsibilities, including a new wife."
"But all these things were made possible because of me,
you owe me your soul and that's how it will be!
Okay, okay… I accept that I cannot have it this day,
but the moment you die you will definitely pay,
and don't go away thinking that you have outwitted me,
your soul will soon be mine, you are not accident free."

New year tomorrow
I may be ushered in new era tomorrow
I shall double up the efforts to end sorrows
Will make it sure that there is no reoccurrences
I shall declare the resolve in everybody’s presence
I have suffered a lot at the cruel hands of fate
I confined to a corner and acted very late
The luck deceived me and I was pushed away
I searched for new route but found no way
It is better late than never
The problems may remain for ever
Life may continue to play hide and seek
We shall remain firm and not feeble or weak
I have learned a lot form past mistakes
It was act in haste and so much was at stake
It might have not struck at desired level
There was enough chance to succeed and excel
It has been made amply clear and understood
Nothing can be left behind for any good
Every opportunity is to be grabbed and explored
Complete reversal of past mistakes and no stone to remain unturned
I am reformed person now
With full of confidence and fully know how?
To tackle the ticklish issues with full command
And to meet it with authority and demand
I shall have no more room to complain
It has to performed in all the seasons even if in rain
As the time may not afford any chance in near future
I will have to ascertain and make it very sure
Time is most opportune time to adjust
We can take refuge under pretext and it is must
You can recoup and fight form the better result
The confidence is regained as strength is inbuilt

I want to see
I don't know about what a way to feel?
Not to express in open but still!
I earnestly feel that she belongs to me
Only she has to respond and make me feel free
"She will come like rain and shower"
"Deplete all her energy and power"
Such words from her drive me to craziness
But I get lost in her glitter and shining face
"I love you" may come to me as recognition
That shall clam me down and need no ignition
She has descended from far and distant land
Taken a vow to stand fast till the end
"Only your picture of thumb impression" I plead
She opens her eyes and coolly tries to read
Extends her hand and invites me to lead
I pick the chance and tie a knot with thread
I float on water with no wish for any more ground
She is there for me to be always found
I can't afford to loose her at any time
Such thoughts invade my mind many a times
Will she emerge on my eye window screen?
What will she be looking like when actually seen?
So far she has eluded me from seeing her in real
Beauty is hidden purposefully and concealed
"I am here" open your eyes and see it happen
You have pulled me near heart is taken
I am at your gate point and wait for entry
What will you be doing to lift me and carry?
Her magical words hunt my memory
I try to pick each word but feel sorry
She is no where around but airs the presence
"I want to see you by chance" and at once

Success
Success lies beneath the popular support
If you maintain contacts and good rapport
It will be great encouragement and strength
If maintained on same wavelength
What amounts to failure or success?
When you fail to have full access
Relentless efforts with continuous zeal
It will mark a” finish” with final seal
It makes very great difference?
If you fail to draw correct inference
You must heed and pay to an expert advice
When something fails as mechanical device
United we stand and divided we fall
If you not wake up and not heed to call
You can swim against rising waves
With resolute action ways may pave
People will be frustrated and annoyed
If message is not be properly conveyed
Close your hand and it will form strength
People will follow it with same good length
Young may have to sacrifice and die
Not to give way and not simply lie
It is need of an hour and must rise to occasion
Not to wait for chance or battle for succession
More you work in peace time than less you may bleed
Success may touch your feet and you may succeed
Why not take chance and work for peace?
Life may be normal and you may leave at ease

A time not to....
Time is essentially a healing factor
No amount of medicines can help from any sector
Tile itself is great medicine and lessens the plight
It offers remedy without going into fight
The problems can’t be solved in a day or two
It has got its implications that is very true
We have to pass through ordeal which is due
Nothing can weaken our spirit or subdue
Deep wound are healed up with time passage
This is not warning but clear message
One has to wait for the proper moment
There is no use to lament or offer comment
It is said time and tide wait for none
It is accepted fact and can’t be denied by any one
Who can race against time and stop its clock?
Time may retaliate and everything will go out of stock
We may run out of patience and react angrily
It costs us nothing if we accept it readily
It is accepted as fact must be welcomed happily
No amount of regret may solve it easily
Wait for the right moments to strike
Message will be loud and clear as if heard form mike
It will be heard from distance of mile away
Seize the opportunity and you will have complete sway
Time allows you to regroup and attack
You will have everything at stake
It will be do or die situation
It has to be kept on with continuation
Life may move on with complete ease
It will have new ways for energy to release
Sometimes it will guide you to the final door
It what you were dreaming and asking for
Ride high on tidal waves with new resolve
The problems will be on vane and may solve
It has to have its time limit with dead line
All will look good and very fine
A successful person turns the table in his favor
Though time will be in his disfavor
He may be faced with complete odds
He may come clean out of possible fraud
Let every opportunity be availed at without fail
You must grab at and never intent to trail
It may give away the way and clear the passage
Peace can’t be attained from continuous rage
It is how coolly you manage and survive?
How best you can think and moves constantly revive?
It has to end in complete favor with flying colors
Even though tide turns into favor or disfavor

A Mother Doesn't Know...
Theirs times that you’re not around.
Theirs times it seems like you don’t care.
Theirs times I don’t see or speak to you.
Theirs times I question you.
Theirs times I don’t even care.
Theirs times I even wish I didn’t know you.
But what would I be without you?
Would I be different or would I be the same?
Have you changed my life?
Or did I change it on my own?
Was I different before?
How come you want nothing to do with me?
You leave me in the dust whenever you have the chance.
Doesn’t seem like you care.
If you do care you have a funny way of showing it.
We use to be like best friends.
I grew up and you kicked me off to the side.
Or did I kick you off?
So many questions.
Not enough answers.
Not enough time to even ask all the questions.
My mind feels like it’s going to explode.
Not enough time in the day to even express my feelings.
Not enough time to share my thoughts.
It never seems to be the right time.
When is the right time?
Is it today or tomorrow?
When will you be there again for me?
You went away so quick I didn’t have a chance to say goodbye.
I guess drinking really got a hold of you.
Some have the will power and others don’t know how to say no.
How could you let drinking get to you?
When you have three kids.
Now two don’t even live with you.
Granted one of them is married.
But the other is still a young child.
Looks at you with disgrace.
You don’t even seem to notice.
While your family is breaking apart you just care about your glass filling up.
How do you live like that?
I know you’re not happy, so what’s bothering you?
You’ve been through a lot granted.
BUT SO HAVE I! !
Look what you’re doing to me.
What you think it doesn’t bother me?
It does but I guess that’s what blindness will do to you.
When will you notice me?
IM RIGHT HERE! !
Pick up the phone and call me sometimes.
Why do I always have to be the bigger person?
I’m supposed to be the kid.
When was I able to be a kid?
When will it be my time?
I’m always there for everyone else.
How come you can’t be there for me?
Your always trying to mess up what I accomplish.
Putting negative thoughts into my head constantly.
Do you want to see me fail?
Well I'm going to tell you right now IM NOT GOING TO FAIL! !
How come you hate me so much?
What did I do to you?
I was always the one that listened to how bad your day was?
I was the one who listened all the time
Who else was their for you?
Dad was always at work.
Sam was never home.
I was I was their.
But you don’t think about that now do you.
Since I left you don’t seem to need me anymore.
Now you have toked my friend to live with you.
But threaten her she will have to leave when she make’s a mistake.
How true are you?
You shad your tears about how much you miss me.
But do you really miss me?
Telling people lies after lies.
Why do you do what you do?
How come you act like that?
Can’t you go back to being yourself?
You’ve changed and I don’t like it.
To be honest not a lot of people like it.
But I guess whatever you want to do you will do.
But this is my time now.
Now you know how I feel.
So don’t ask me again.

Precious Box
In my house there's a circle, where the life comes in
From the stars to my home, down through the stone,
I could have been so alone,
Without my precious box
Have I a family? I guess not
I've never seen a lot of beauty
In my life.
Well in your house there are servants, and the lights all dim
Such a beautiful home, your agent's on the phone, they never
leave you alone
The party never stops!
You say that's fantasy, I say So what, I need a little beauty
So let me in,
You know you've kind of got under my skin
You know we never see a lot of the action round here
My dear
You may want to strip again
And you look so fine in your Gucci suit
And you're making more money than your daddy
could have imagined
But people can go out of fashion, honey, yeah, any time
So take that picture, stop acting so dumb
Don't you know that the moment will come
I will find someone like you
But with something extra, I'm sorry baby
I don't know why
I don't know why that is
The systematic breakdown of my community
You know I hate my job, I try to save but God
There's just never enough
Switch on, the pressure - stops
You know the one for me, she's on Fox
And she's a little beauty
Give me your life, give me your life, I want it
Because lately, it's so freezing out here
(This side of the glass, life keeps kicking my ass)
In so many ways, but you make it good
Made me the kind of happy that my baby never could
(This side of the glass)
So take that picture, stop acting so dumb
Don't you know that the moment will come
I will find someone like you
But with something extra, I'm so sorry baby
I don't know why
I don't know why that is
Precious keeps me company
Keeps me from being alone
Because no-one comes in the morning
No-one comes in the evening time
I'd sit and wait for the phone to ring
I could be waiting my whole damn life
So sick of the same old faces
In this street, where nobody talks to me
And the funny side of the situation is
I don't care, I'll always be there
When you come down from the sky
And make yourself at home
In my house
Because these days it's the money the money
The money, honey, or your life
I said don't you know you can't have both
Stop acting so dumb
The moment will come
I will find someone like you
Something extra, (always happens baby to me) sorry baby
I don't know why (something)
Said I don't know why that is
You may want to strip again
You may want to let me in
You may want to sacrifice
More than you think is fair or right
You may want to think again
You may want to watch your friends
You may want to change your mind
You may wish you could turn back time.

As We Teach We Learn
As we teach we learn, each day
And as we learn we see fresh ways,
To forward go, in boundless joy
Our "blueprint" lives to so enjoy.
The circles turn and spirals wend
Through journeys galore without an end.
So open up your soul and eye
To realise that we never die.
We roam Eternal through the sky
With sun and moon and stars, to cry
Their messages of love and peace
We see the light as we complete
Another Universal twirl,
Sometimes as "boy", and sometimes as "girl, "
though all that truly counts you see,
Is that "I" is always ever "Me"

All Godmen
God man said' eat Samosa* and idli*:
That may grant you peace readily'
Walk barefoot and give cows some feed
Visit: 'daridranarayan'* and try to help and read
Some good suggestions and some bogus
It is only when we loose the trust
Trust in self and see the treachery around
Real shanti (peace) is never to be found
Some hired people come on stage
They may be of younger age
They may tell about their woe
And how easily the god man made it to go
The media is paid handsomely on monthly basis
Handsome amount is paid to cover and sell the thesis
This is happening all over but no steps are taken
People are cheated but the god men are never driven
The faith and trust is taken for granted
Sometimes in the name of religion it is wanted
The weak nerves of human being is touched
Then rest of the show is well done and preached
Millions of notes in different kind are gathered
The sentiments are given go by and not bothered
The devils mind has clicked to the success
They have now everything to cheat will full access
'He fasted for one month and got vision back'
'The lost wealth recovered fully and now nothing is at stake'
So many tales are generated to influence public mind
The crowd swells as new sources reveal and make them blind
The politicians, scientists and well educated people
Turn to their gathering and seek blessings toward of trouble
Their presence on dais has magnetic influence on people
They want to have easy fortune without any struggle

Past
It is story of cautious optimist
Carved out a way safe way amidst
It was no do or die approach
But reasonable enough as such
What if it was glorious to dream?
What if it had shined like sun beam?
It was ultimate end so what is left to rejoice
When we have no compulsion or choice
Past is not for us to remember
Yet not to forget either
As it may act as torch bearer
To surge ahead without any fear
Past is to make amends
That should be the trend
It is to be relived with refined approach
As it is the only way to adjust as such
Present may not be that sweet
Yet we need to add fragrance and greet
We may not be able to restore past
But present is to be moved very fast
One thing is very much certain
Neither pf the things remain
Nor disappear all of sudden
It has its own time to trouble you even
It is immaterial if you fail to adjust
Loose the confidence and trust
Neither the past nor the present can be justified
As life won't give you chance and remain mystified
So one must think with optimism
To push aside ashes of pessimism
That is the only way to move ahead
When entire universe is before us to read

So it can help them to get
A better paying job

Give a chance for the people in the world to pray
Give a chance for the people in the world to learn

And to learn to take better care of their health
Give a chance for the people in the world to learn how to relax
And to learn how to cope with their anger

Every Minute, Every Hour
Another day has gone by
Still have you picture, by my side
I cant forget when you left
When we said goodbye
I know its hard to carry on,
Can I survive?
Every mintue, every hour
I just cant get you out of my mind
No matter how hard I try
Every day, every night
I wish you were back in my life
Can we give it just one more chance,
This time
Looking back on it now
Oooo
Where we went wrong
I cant figure out
Wish I could turn back the time
And make you mine
Is it too late
For us to try
A second time
Every mintue, every hour
I just cant get you out of my mind
No matter how hard I try
Every day, every night
I wish you were back in my life
Can we give it just one more chance,
This time
I just dont see things the same
I cant get out of the way
(its clouding my mind)
Its clouding my mind
Ill make it all up to you
Just tell me what I should do
I want you back in my life
Gimme one more chance
Every mintue, every hour
I just cant get you out of my mind
No matter how hard I try
Every day, every night
I wish you were back in my life
Can we give it just one more chance,
Every mintue, every hour
I just cant get you out of my mind
No matter how hard I try
Every day, every night
I wish you were back in my life
Can we give it one more chance,
This time
Can we give it just one more chance
Yeah, yeah, yeah...

Not a single moment
For not a single moment it struck to my mind
That moon may suddenly turn unkind
The silver rays may hurt me and burn whole body
The object liked by me may turn nobody
I was excited so much and gave another look
The moon looked before spotless now looked crook
That smile made me little nervous as it was growing in size
I was sinking deeper and feared people may call me unwise
How many nights I had spent in coolness?
Waiting for him to gain power and fullness
Those silver lines illuminating bright face
Searching for beautiful objects in race
I saw one or tow treachery lines
I feared they may desert and sideline
What feared me most was total eclipse!
When I may find darkness so dense
I saw you one more time
It reminded me of unknown crime
Love was to be known as unpardonable
Enough to land me in knee deep trouble
Now even stars smiled mildly
They twinkled but joked unkindly
They were in love for years
How was I going to steal their dear?
I was at deep pain to respond
I listened to all taunts but did not correspond
It did not suit in love games
As love was inextinguishable flame
Neither did It humiliate nor disheartened
On the contrary it made me happy and heartened
It was fortunate that I only came to know the facts
Otherwise it would have been considered as bad acts
Whole world and lovers take oath under your name
Walk hand in hand in free environment without shame
You provide opportune time and place to unite
Where you appear in full and provide illuminated night

A preference to hate
I would prefer and love to hate
Such thoughts come in mind very late
It makes me to wonder on so many counts
Minds goes in wilderness and simply hounds
It is not the matter to be decided for man to man
It is dilemma and confusion and seen as common
We can definitely put it at rest as best as possible
The thoughts can be imposed or made forcible
Hate invites hate and inflames the passion
The ridiculous thoughts enter and make invasion
You tend to loose patience and become hostile
Situation may simply go out of hand and turn volatile
Love can be won over by giving more and expecting less
You may land in trouble and sometimes have to hide the face
It is not on reciprocal basis doesn’t turn into face saving
People turn differently and extra ordinarily turn in behaving
Ultimately everything boomerangs on us for doing so well
We create environment and make believe that it is turning into hell
We are the trouble shooter for no fault of others individuals
It is give and take arrangement and accepted it as mutual
It is agreed fact that mighty may win and weak may loose
What is right or wrong that one may have to choose?
No one may want to give or budge from his own stand
Even you can expect reprisals or surprise attack from own friend
Well, I decided to hate no other people but only self
Why at all I needed that friends or people should help?
Is it essential that every time you expect people to rush?
It makes us unhappy when they refuse for help and push
Why can’t I think that invisible enemy is sitting within?
Chances for winning over friends or people are very thin
It is formidable task and can’t be performed without fooling
You may then be under your toes and hills and feel no cooling
It will make you restless and compel you to think fresh
So many ideas may enter your mind as quick flash
A this stage you may go for quick way out or solution
Mind really picks up the signals for quick resolutions
So hate your own qualities and falsehood
Even you may unpopular in your neighborhood
It is time for introspection to share the blame
Try to find out own fault and never try to blame
You may carry the world as it is known where do you stand?
Who is your ardent lover foe or friend?
You may stand the taste of time and overcome
Troubles may come but you may stand fast and welcome

A mind dosn't rest
Why it happens all the time that mind doesn't rest?
Why all the time you try to come out as best?
Why you are on move and under going severe test?
Is life is made adventurous and differ from the rest?
Yes, it has to offer many explanations
There may not be startling revelations
It may have direct bearing on our relation
It puzzles everybody and posing a big question
We are human beings and attached with the sentiments
We get infuriated even with slight adverse comments
We settle it as quickly as possible and align with movement
We surprise them with our action and score at right moment
This is how we react angrily at our adversary
We go on planning for days and waste time unnecessary
We try to sooth it out but ill feelings still carry
This adds to tension and worry
We have revengeful attitude go for reprisal
We don’t wait satisfactory answer's arrival
We make hunt and go for immediate revenge
The defeat is taken as humiliation and wants to avenge
Good people may not opt for “tit for tat” attitude
This speaks of his sick mental status which some magnitude
Something forces him to act in haste
Life totally becomes different in taste
The bad company makes lot of impression
That is clearly seen and observed in your expression
You may cling to your ideas and suffer with obsession
You may not feel happiness even with nice possession
You may go in for quick retaliation on adversary
You may also not think it is necessary
Mind will remain occupied most of the time with rage
Body will be shaking in disbelief and unable to manage
We need complete balance of mind to live with peace
If we can succeed then it may help to reduce the tension and miss
It may take off our mind to another direction and rest
It may give momentary relief in mind at least
Revenge is not best form to show the strength
You can win adversary with friendly wave length
You can take personal ego one side and show some gesture
It may help to reduce tension in future
Let us not build trust on hatred
Never try to make other to believe in that or lead
Life can’t be compared with any body or injected into dead
It may definitely prove and rest all can be finely read

One More Chance
(michael masser/gerry goffin)
Feel like a fool
Not realizing all the value you had
I took a happy ending and made it sad
The day I walked away and left you alone
With hardly an explanation
You stood on your own
And handled the situation
And showed to me
How understanding you could be
Now Im alone
Looking back at all the years that we shared
Thinking of the pain you should have been spared
Afraid to ask forgiveness
But where can I go
Theres no one else to turn to
I still have my pride
But now its time to learn to cast it aside
And come to you with honesty
Give me just one more chance
Such a simple thing Im asking for
Just one more chance
It would be a shame to close the door to
One more chance
Isnt that what we pray each night for?
One more chance
Isnt that what were fighting for?
Why throw away a love that needs one more chance
Now Im afraid that after all Ive said
Youll still turn me down and youll smile
And say Ill see you around
But remember that you still have a choice
And I hope and pray youll make it
Youll think of my heart
And you wont wanna break it
And Ill prove to you the kind of lady I can be
Give me just one more chance
Such a simple thing Im asking for
Just one more chance
It would be a shame to close the door to
One more chance
Isnt that what we pray each night for?
One more chance
Isnt that what were fighting for?
One more chance
Dont you know that we belong together
One more chance
Now I really need you more than ever
One more chance
You and I can really make it baby
One more chance
All you have do is say the words to
One more chance
One more
One more chance
One more chance

My Friend, The Parking Lot Attendant
—he's a dandy
—small moustache
—usually sucking on a cigar
he tends to lean into cars as he
transacts business
first time I met him, he said,
"hey! ya gonna make a
killin'?"
"maybe," I answered.
next meeting it was:
"hey, Ramrod! what's
happening?"
"very little," I told
him.
next time I had my girlfriend with me
and he just
grinned.
next time I was
alone.
"hey," he asked, "where's the young
chick?"
"I left her at home...."
"Bullshit! I'll bet she dumped
you!"
and the next time
he really leaned into the car:
"what's a guy like you doing driving a
BMW! I'll bet you inherited your
money, you didn't get this car with your
brains!"
"how'd you guess?" I
answered.
that was some weeks ago.
I haven't seen him lately.
feIlow like that, chances are he just moved on
to better
things.
