Doom's Day
It was proving day of the doom
There was hope or left with any room
Everybody thought I would die next moment
Such were the hopeless and sad comments
I was rushed to hospital in comma condition
I was blinded by powerful explosion
It was planted on the cycle carriage
They had planned and successfully managed
The life was running normal in street
The terrorists had chosen to meet
At isolated place and worked out
To witness their deadly attack and talk about
We were moving in unconcerned state
As every was rushing to the work very late
Such was an ideal situation to catch people unaware
As they won’t be able to retaliate or dare
Only human beings are easy targets
They have to succumb to fate
But certain things we can’t leave to terrorists
They may be powerful but be twisted on wrists
I had picked unknown object
It was bright pack enough to attract
It was nice and cleverly managed Como fledge act
I fell pray to their powerful tact
I got lesson not to pick anything unknown
Though it’s impact and result was already known
I was saved thorough timely medical attention
The poem needs to be added with clear mention
I am alive because of people’s participation
They know and act with in anticipation
Such incidences can’t be stopped altogether
Yet they can be avoided from spreading further

Dog saved child
I bow my head to faithful animal
Who saved a new born girl child on arrival?
Left in isolated place to be claimed by none
Only pigs and vultures were waiting for it alone
Little dog heard the infant’s voice
Rushed to the scene without any choice
The child was moving the legs
There was nothing on her such as name tag
Totally left in wilderness at god’s mercy
Not by any human but dog felt pity
Raised alarm by barking loud
People in near by huts were sleeping sound
She must be by now few minutes old
Her parents may really be stone hearted and bold
The child was deserted and left at her fate
There are no enough words to state
People rushed to the site
It was about to be day light
What a lovely child to look at?
Waiting to meet the cruel fate!
The child was wrapped in dirty rag
Even though was a healthy and moving leg
Real credit was earned by a faithful dog
The child could have been eaten away in fog
Some of the acts are always appreciated
They deserved to be highlighted and narrated
It gives shining example of what should have been done
If not done then what precaution should have been taken
Her parents may be brave one
Even if for unmarried girl this act should not have been done
It is life granted by almighty, the creator
We are here to look after and act as care taker
Any human being may feel good
Animals otherwise are hungry for food
The great damage would have been done to child
Thank god she was taken to near by hospital and saved
*The story was published in one of daily newspaper here* worth taking note of *

Motivation
Neither the motivation should be confined to word nor to book. Many things might have been written in book but so long as it is not put into practice or use, it can’t deliver the result. You might have experienced number of times that actual result can be had only after putting self before everything. The sales men may increase the sales by many folds but that may just not be the reality. It is performed under forced situation. It is doesn’t speak of any motivation, but only a consideration,
Think of commandant in battle field, surrounded by powerful enemy, and he is leading battery of disgruntled and demoralized personnel under his command? His final words or vision only may save them from disastrous situation or near annihilation. His powerful motivation or enthusiasm only may take them to a safety without loss of lives.
Here there is no compulsion on the commander. It is strategy and dedication, which in recent times, may not be found in any services. It is determined effort which may result into death for honour and sacrifice. It changes whole scenario and his powerful drive and enthusiasm may inject very powerful waves to fight back with determination for the frontal attack with safe passage and victory may be in sight.
Think of company or organization where you are heading it. The men working under your wing may not be the driving force until you inject some powerful views with your active participation. The people may follow you the moment they see that there is person who means the business.
What moot point in insisting here is that motivation comes from within. It is strength inherent and that can’t be learnt from any school. One is only driving force for his survival and future built up for his own carrier. There may be many reasons behind this theory but powerful one is inspiration which is taking place after realization of desired goal. No writers, leaders or fine books can make a men guiding force but can only inspire to a limited extent. It may strengthen some of views and find correct path to follow but rest comes from within.
One is master of one’s own destiny. In shaping the destiny, the dedication, motivation, sincerity and above all self involvement can pave the way to become powerful motivator. There are no excuses or reasons which can save you from defamation but determined effort on your part may definitely lessen the impact of damage. .
I subscribe to the sparkling views.

Speechless And Dumb
I remained speechless and dumb
As if the noise was heard from bomb
Many bodies lay scattered all over the places
There was cry for help and frantic chase
It was heavy and loud explosion
People were standing in queue for quick disposition
They were at the counters in many numbers
Just it was to turn in tragic events for members
Many were to be dead for no reason
The mission was to be handiwork of mindless persons
The separatists and terrorists are raising heads again
Worries and agony all over for people to bear with pain
What can be the goal in specific for carrying out carnage?
How could they carry out plan in crowded place and manage?
Do they not fear for their life and community at large?
How long they can evade law and remain at large?
Whole of world is shivering under constant threat
Lots of fund is earmarked and created to counter and meet
The challenges posed by enemy is to keep people at ransom
How can one think of these acts as any value of brilliance or wisdom?
We are to be blamed for our inability to counter
How can they come at will and choose place to enter?
How can we show slackness despite given enough of warning?
Cry for help later on with lots of difficulties and yearning
It may be little dramatic to explain such incidences
It hardly needs mention with long references
Yet it merits attention as precious lives are at stake
We may be loosing many more if remain not awake
I might have lost no dear ones or relative
Still matter is important and very much subjective
It indicates lots of things and requires action with stern hand
Foes are to be picked up and saved the life of friends
They have no religion or particular ideology to follow
They will wait for opportunity to strike and meanwhile lay low
How can one think of killing innocent persons?
When we all are human beings and God’s sons

Freedom is a Powerful Word
freedom is a powerful word
filled with glori and brightened eyes
freedom is a powerful word
where no black child is left behind
the despair of no hesitation
the depair of no education
freedom is a powerful word
freedom is a powerful word
where everyone gets a chance to be one
freedom is a powerful word
where a black man can raise his son
we got freedom
but we dont respect it
black boys droppin out of school
black girls gettin pregnant at early ages
these people fought for our rights
but all we do is abuse it
like i said freedom is a powerful word
are you sure we are free
why are we killing our own race
we are gettin involved in the wrong stuff
like gangs and selling drugs
smokin weed and makin d's
it aint right
freedom is a powerful word
if it is so powerful
dont abuse it

POWERFUL OPPOSITION... Nov 21st,2012
POWERFUL OPPOSITION... Nov 21st,2012
BY
JAMES BREDIN
Powerful religions do not allow assisted suicide,
Some men dressed in red like cardinals will get to decide,
And god is on their side so you better pay attention,
And suicide is a mortal sin or did I already mention?
Many of my old friends and comrades and neighbors are dead,
Soon enough; I will too; which is something I really dread,
Because death-with-dignity is banned in this great land,
So it's the unknown factor of my upcoming death, I can't stand.
The silent unknown factor of our lives is our health,
This is profound, regardless of your rank and your wealth,
It has a bearing on when, where, how and why you will die,
In a country where death-with-dignity is denied.

A love is weapon
Love is powerful weapon in our armory
It can have devastating effect on our adversary
He may think of its importance as very much essential and necessary
He may too opt for going in it as peace emissary
Love has won many battles without shedding a single dropp of blood
It has always created harmony and peace in neighborhood
It has impact on our distant neighbors with improved relation
There is constant move for peace and stability with hostility cessation
How will rush to you in rage to cause damage and inflict injury?
Will he not think for awhile to take law in his hand and act as jury?
He will certainly lay down arms as mark of his approval
He may too want peaceful co-existence upon its arrival
Let people go on doing enormous harm if they at all want?
Let them pursue destructive path if they are not willing or don’t
It may be disastrous consequence waiting for them to follow
The thing may slip out of hand if they don’t fine in line or allow
It has remained powerful weapon since ages and remains so
Anybody can choose it at free will and fall in line with or go
It is human nature to live with peace and let others live
It is altogether fine arrangement for us to make believe
Love is not the sign of weakness as claimed by some one
It is powerful weapon in the hands of mighty one
The others may know well that if they fail to toe the line
They may permanently loose the friendship and will be undermined
Love is like guided weapon and works as powerful beacon
You may come to be known as powerful but simple icon
Peace may follow with your fruitful mission
Your efforts are aimed at building the trust and not for demolition
Love has always built the trust bridges
It has always scored and stayed over edges
It has never threatened life but served as deterrence
No one may dare to attack and remain careful in utterances
Peace may prevail so long as love reigns supreme and not hate
We realize its consequences if come cross very late
It is long drawn process and we must definitely give chance and wait
It has to be sincere try and not left completely to fate
Love may mushroom like little flower
It may give relief as if from rainy shower
It may spread fragrance with little flow of air
Only peace has to be give chance and that too very fair

From Bombay To Mumbai!
From Bombay to Mumbai,
Why can't the terrorists leave this land alone? ! !
Fisrt it was a bomb blast some years ago in Bombay;
And many people died in the name of the attack from the terrorists,
But the muse of Bombay in those days was like 'Bomb-Bay'!
Now the name had been changed to Mumbai,
But the terrorists were still not at rest!
So they bombed Mumbai as well;
With many dead bodies recorded after this act,
But is this the best solution for mankind to live peacefully on this earth? !
Why?
Mumbai, bum, mum, am, Imam, bam! !
There is no peace at all in this world;
Yet still we all do have a form of a Religion that we believe in,
But is this act also part of the teachings? !
Then, it is time that we behave well like human beings on this earth;
For we all need to put the world into a better shape with love than hatred.

A direct poser
Have we ever posed a poser?
Why at the end I am looser?
Why I look crook and miser?
Why have I not grown with years to look wiser?
A pertinent question is puzzling the mind
No satisfactory solution is insight to find
I have loved all and tried to be very kind
They always occupy space in my mind
Subconsciously we sometimes react angrily
We spoil the life which we were leading happily
It may create heavy spark and set everything on fire
People may not take you lightly or admire
We are here to live in peace with harmony
Material gain should be there including money
Our all efforts should look generous and not funny
You may stand isolated and not favored by many
You must feel proud of your being in this world
You actions must speak louder than the words
It may not paid back to you in terms of return
It will definitely come to your rescue help in turn
Do tide and heavy winds warn you of disaster?
Can you act as sole arbitrator and single master?
You will have to move very fast with speed
You have no special religion, cult or creed
It is quite amusing and exploring field
It may give away the way and yield
Who can be held responsible for any lapses?
It is He who helps, alters and reshapes
What are we to do and act in real test?
Is it to thrive very hard and try for best?
You should not relent in your move or rest
It should not only be the simple desire but powerful quest
Leave everything to the hands of unknown fate
It may come soon but not very late
There is particular time and date
There is no particular reason to state
Do nothing which your mind and heart forbids
Never go in unwillingly and make unnecessary bid
You may have all the chances to loose the lead
Its consequences may be far reaching and can’t be read
There is every chance to fill the vacuum
It may be loss or gain but can’t be added as sum
It is feeling from within with all the satisfaction
It is then considered as powerful indication
Good work may never bite your conscience
Its impact will be felt in everybody’s presence
It is really a peace to mind in true essence
That is why it is advocated and to be followed hence

She was stubborn
We were fighting numbers
I exactly recollect and remember
Mother had left some crackers
I accepted it like joker
I was fooled to believe
That cracker were over
The festival of light* (Dipawali) was coming on
The shopkeeper had closed shop and gone
In fact mother was afraid
I may pick up powerful crackers that were laid
It was plan they both had hatched and put in
I was given less powerful crackers much to my grin
I picked up one of unexploded cracker
It looked as if was not ignited proper
As soon as I picked up it in hand
It exploded and gave thick smoke of smoke and sand
I just closed the eyes and sat down
Eyes were getting big light circles unknown
They feared some partial blindness may take place
I was hurriedly taken to check up the case
Some of the fesivals certainly need precaution
Why this had occurred to me out of any relation?
Some of the festivals are celebrated with much fun fare
Elders think so much and do not allow the kids to dare
Mother took me to embrace as she was little worried
I consoled her as if nothing had happened
It was just a casual recurrence
She was assured everything with confidence
She smile with much of satisfaction
I was happy too with her indication
She was kind, generous and stubborn
Nothing could move her with little concern

Powerful Thing
(written by al anderson and sharon vaughn)
Ive never seen two people in my life
More determined to ignore the obvious
We better stop thinking
Let our hearts start doing the talking
Youd have to be stone deaf dumb and blind
Not to see whats going on with us
So lets jump in
And get over our fear of fallin
cause what we got here
Is a powerful thing
Its a powerful thing
More than three words
And a diamond ring
It can open up the heavens
Make the angels sing
Our love, baby, is a powerful thing
We started out strangers on a two-way street
Neither one of us lookin to fall in love
But we dont need us a map
To know were headed in that direction
Well, its out of our hands
And over our heads
Its something thats bigger than both of us
Turnin back nows completely out of the question
cause what we got here
Is a powerful thing
Its a powerful thing
More than three words
And a diamond ring
It can open up the heavens
Make the angels sing
Our love, baby, is a powerful thing
Stronger than the force of a driving wind
Hotter than a forest fire
There never has been and there never will be
Nothing like the power of you and me, yeah
Its a powerful thing
Its a powerful thing
More than three words
And a diamond ring
It can open up the heavens
Make the angels sing
Our love, baby, is a powerful thing
Its a powerful thing
Its a powerful thing
More than three words
And a diamond ring
It can open up the heavens
Make the angels sing
Our love, baby, is a powerful thing

So many reasons
Incidentally we are God fearing persons
We have strong belief with so many reasons
It is broadly interwoven in complete mind
There is no pace for less scope for thoughts to find
Incidentally we are God fearing persons
We have strong belief with so many reasons
It is broadly interwoven in complete mind
There is no pace for less scope for thoughts to find
Faith sometimes compel us to depend on fate
We express helplessness and openly state
“Nothing is in our hand” as it is not destined
And we mutely agree to the things already imagined
Even highly educated people tend to bow down
They may curse themselves even if fault is not their own
This can be considered as a escapist tendency
One can only cut sorry figure and feel pity
We are for sure that only almighty is powerful
The life can end with consequence so sorrowful
This gives rise to faith blindness to succumb
Person never tries contest and remain mute and dumb
In one way it is good not to fight against unfavorable condition
It advises you to observe restraints and reserve the ammunition
It is nice to leave certain things for comfortable feeling
You might be certainly not for in or unwilling
If thing turn in your favor, you may pray god for success
You may even try to reason out for easy access
This has all happened due to luck and fate
Only fortune arrived in time from lucky gate

Poetry for the People rests upon a belief that the art of telling the truth is a necessary and a healthy way to create powerful, and positive, connections among people who, otherwise, remain (unknown and unaware) strangers. The goal is not to kill connections but, rather, to create and to deepen them among truly different men and women.

I refuse to surrender
I refuse to surrender and prefer to lie low
As I am very much made of hard core and won’t allow
Whatever may be consequences that may follow?
I shall look ahead and certainly would like to grow
I am no coward so as to die thousands death daily
My statement may not be liked and look even funny
Yet it is reality and we live with constant fears
With little of difficulties loose hope and shed tears
It is Wiseman’s thinking that never oppose wind
Divert the route and immediately try to find
Easy way to sail through stormy ocean
And even halt the journey if weather is not clean
There may be danger on each and every step we put forward
But that should not discourage us from looking backward
We must gain from the clues left behind and positively think
The ship must be saved before runs aground and sink
To oppose powerful current is considered as foolish
It should not be your weakness to make it fast finish
The result can be attained later on when situation is favorable
As you must strike hard at the roots when find fully capable
It is not ideological thinking or for that matter arrogance
One must strive hard to gain foothold with even slight chance
That may grant you enough of opportunity to find an escape
It will become lot more easier and become clear before you fall to traps
Healthy mind speaks of good health with powerful thoughts
Such a tendency is never learnt or easily taught
Man may find it with many ups and down in the life journey
Rest all is left to the mercy of god and blessings from the almighty
Let us know the handicaps that may create hurdles on the way
Whatever sources we may have or powerful position to stay?
We can’t fight ill luck or unfavorable situation
We must keep on making inroads with evaluation

Spare any one seldom
"Jhuem- jhuem jhuem"* came the little sound
One hunter fly attacked me when I was on round
The workers were in the field and awaited
All of sudden they came in formation and attacked
As there is one specialty particularly lies
They are called hunter bees
They will spare no one and attack passers by
One has to run away or escape death trap and try
They will attack one by one and repeat three times
Each time they will create special sound sometimes
Many more may come on scene and fiercely try
You will have no other way than to die
I ran for life and at the same time tried to kill
Pick by one hand and run away towards vehicle still
I fell down number of times on the way
Yet they were not leaving me and pushing away
I saw death before eyes and prayed
I had powerful will and so forcefully stayed
Picked the scooter by one hand and started
I thought time was near I will be departed
Some how I gathered strength and resisted
I was not to leave scene and so forcefully insisted
As the scooter moved ahead with speed
They were pushed back by air I maintained the lead
I was saved from their clutches
Yet they were after me to catch
Many farmers told me about their menace
I was the lucky one to escape luck by chance
I tried to know the reason behind
As they will be in search of their habitat to find
The vultures may attack an pick some of them as food
I now formed an opinion and clearly understood
The forest life is not easy
All insect lead the life and remain busy
If they are troubled in their kingdom
They will spare any one seldom

Jaipur Blasts ‘08
The pink city looks almost red!
Some terrorists have struck some dead;
This is the work of some, misled;
Something is wrong within their head.
The will of people is too strong;
Terrorists can’t succeed for long;
They choose places where people throng;
They blast them dead like loud a song!
This is a clarion call to all;
Most blast victims need just a pall;
All patriots must unite fast,
And fight the menace till the last.
But terrorists think, most won’t join;
The war against them is prolonged;
Most nations suffer from this scourge;
United, we can win this war!
All people must be alert hence;
They must be wary of strange things;
They ought to work with common sense;
Terrorists are insane earthlings!
dedicated to the sad victims and lucky survivors!

Bitter Experience
Many advocate and say heart can’t be restored with
Original feeling and same love armed with teeth
It can be proved wrong as love may never want to sever the link
It is symbolism of sacrifice and will never allow to sin
There may be several setbacks with bitter experience in past
It might have carried on for longer period and not come to last
It might have forced to you to forgo some of the moments to fight
But finally you might have come out of it as very right
Any difficulty that may come on the way must be faced
The origin of it must be found out and successfully traced
This may make you like rock stone standing alone
You may relent only when it is finally gone
Why can’ we change if nature can relent and change?
Why do we grow old and tire out with the advent of age?
Nothing stops you from going further
So it need not take you by surprise and bother
Have we not observed old civilizations getting lost and buried?
Why millions of death all over world has not baffled us or left worried?
We know pretty well that it can be over come but not avoided
Only the fate and outcome is surely coincided
This has led us to believe in superficial happenings
It is not altogether bad with beginnings
Something should struck off if not going well
It must not be left with different story to tell
I will bow before him only to repent
I must have nothing in mind to vent
It is all visible and clear before our eyes
Let all by gone remain as only byes
We can destroy the old links
If something can be rewritten with powerful ink
Why not take everybody on the same ship?
Where there is happiness only and nothing to weep
It is our feeling that we are useless
So many hardships we only have to face
There are many more people facing the same question
But hardly they cry in open and make the mention

Unknown
This unknown figure...
This unknown place...
Where am I at anyways?
This unknown feeling that I have,
This unknown pain inside;
I can't run away from.
Unknown heart, Unknown soul,
All unknown and all gone.
Sadden by all of this and all that's left..
Is me with no feeling...
I'm gone and lost and can't find a way out!
I'm an unknown person,
And an unknown girl who can't be seen.
I'm invisible, I'm a nobody,
I'm an unknown figure to people.
I'm gone forever and ever...right?

I Slipped And Fell In Love
A drunk man walking down a rainy street
A wood floor and new socks on your bare feet
You look down and suddenly you're looking up
Whoops, I slipped and fell in love
A bald tire running on an icy road
A steep hill underneath a foot of snow
A greased pig fallen off a pickup truck
Whoops, I slipped and fell in love
I hope that you're feeling the way that I feel
It's just like flying but you're standing still
The birds and the bees are sure powerful stuff
Whoops, I slipped and fell in love
An ice cube hiding on your kitchen floor
A bad step leading up to your back door
How'd I wind up on my butt
Whoops, I slipped and feel in love
I hope that you're feeling the way that I feel
It's just like flying but you're standing still
The birds and the bees are sure powerful stuff
Whoops, I slipped and fell in love
I hope that you're feeling the way that I feel
It's just like flying but you're standing still
The birds and the bees are sure powerful stuff
Whoops, I slipped and fell in love
Help, I've fallen I can't getup
Whoops, I slipped and fell in love
