Fool yesterday
I afforded to be fool yesterday
But tried to be wise and clever today
With the fear that some one should not call me fool
As I was very lazy and all the time remained cool
It is nature’s habit not to respond in hostile manner
The things need smooth handling and not fastened with spanner
If it is tightened with full strength and left with no scope
There is every chance hat it may fail or flop
We learn gradually from the past mistakes
It is grasped with little of intakes
Not everything is learnt over night
It takes time to prove wrong or right
We all know time is changing very fast
The chances are that it may threaten to last
We may have nothing on hand to defend
There will be little less to improve or amend
Old proverbs are of great importance
They are not written like that at once
It has stood the test of past successfully
They stand every word correct and truthfully
When there prevails uncertainty with calm
You should remains steadfast and firm
This will take you to the desired destination
Your ability to tackle it will never be put to question

Sonnet: Dear Doctor Brother
Forget the past, however bitter, Man!
Begin now Life, anew, afresh again;
With Will-power, perform great things, one can;
There is a time for Sun; a time for Rain.
The chances life gives us are not many;
A married-man has an extra duty,
To tend to dependent souls; Be canny;
Experience the Almighty’s great beauty.
God knows your heart; your strength and weaknesses;
But Man must listen to His call always;
Never mind your sins, mistakes, past excesses;
Become a leaf anew; amend your ways.
There’s Light still at the end of the tunnel!
You must come out now from your self-made Hell.

The Fool
Act not as per fundamental rule
is an act of a fool,
Like on a summer sunny day
wearing heavy cloth of wool.
Fool, a doer of mistakes
to make unwise annoy or laugh.
The fool can not understand
easily whatever is taught.
It's foolish to laugh on mistakes
and keep apathy.
The wise try to rectify the wrongs
having sympathy.
Can we ingnore contribution of fools
to the world of entertainment,
All the jokers, comedians
replicate their deeds for amusement.
A fool is not a fool always,
fool can too turn wise somewhere.
Kalidas, foolish in his boyhood
became a great poet and writer.
There are people of the school
without irritating they keep cool,
mend or correct mistakes, thinking,
after all it's God who made the fool.

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

Time is essence
Time is essence and important factor
We are here only stage actor
Perform the allotted role and act
As it will be advisable and real fact
What you did in past does not matter
Leave it to almighty who is our ultimate master
You trust him and may find an answer
As you may then find chance to go closer
Time may teach you all about
It may prevent possible fall out
You will be taken through enemy lines
Come out from it with after pushing them into sidelines
Leave behind no bleak past
As you will have to move fast
No time will be afforded
As you will be successfully boarded
You may fly high and certainly try
As rest all be left high and dry
You have all the stars within hand
The glorious future is seen at the end

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
Yesterday I done things that pleased others
Today I do things that pleased myself
Tomorrow is the day I change what I have done wrong
Yesterday I hate things that hurt me
Today I shall change things under my control
Tomorrow I shall do more that I can envisioned
Yesterday I had past my youth era
Today I am wiser than yesterday
Tomorrow I will become a legend because I dare to dream big
Happy are those whom appreciated what yesterday had brought
Happy are those whom plan for things to do today
For tomorrow what might bring us is eternal happiness and peace
Yesterday Time flies so fast without realising we are already dead
Today Wasting our time is wasting our life
Tomorrow Time is valueless and priceless
Let yesterday remind me of the sweet memories of yester years
Let today be my reminder of treasuring our life
For tomorrow may bring uncertainty onto our life
So let us treasure and value our time
Time becomes priceless when we take things for granted
Time becomes meaningless when we face our final moment of our dead
Time becomes tomorrow heaven when we treasure the present moment.

Sonnet: Prudent Use of Time
People save time by traveling so fast;
Important is time in these modern days;
Never do they learn from mistakes of past;
Nor do they change their old unhealthy ways.
The time that’s saved is precious, so be it!
But people waste it in some wretched ways;
They do not change an improper habit,
Leading a lazy life in any case.
Stress and most diseases originate,
When work is done in a manner of haste;
Luxurious lifestyles too bring on a spate
The precious time that’s saved goes to sheer waste.
‘Time and tide wait for none’, ’tis truly said;
Time improperly spent lands one in bed.

The Kind Of Fool Love Makes
Anyone can read the signs
Or the writing on the wall
Its all right there to see
Except someone like me
Who cant see the truth at all.
It takes a special kind of fool
To stand out in the rain
Somewhere in between
Nothing left to lose
And nothing to be gained.
What kind of fool does it take?
To go on loving alone
Like theres some answer in the ruins
Some silver lining to be found.
An even bigger fool might think
You would care if my arm breaks
Before the time that I admit
Im just the kind of fool love makes.
A wiser one would see
Nothings gonna change
Theres a time for giving up
A time for letting go
To learn from our mistakes.
But I keep holding on to hope
In spite of everything I know.
What kind of fool does it take?
To go on loving alone
Like theres some answer in the ruins
Some silver lining to be found...
It takes a bigger fool to think
That the dawn will never break
On this day that I admit
Im just the kind of fool love makes.

Mind fluctuates
“Old habits die hard” as saying goes
But what human mind thinks and does
It tries to rise but fall back with little fear
People may speak and it has to bear
Never get discouraged
As in past you have tactfully managed
If not fully transformed
But you have acted and remained well informed
We are not slave of the habits
That is on negative side and considered s debit
We are supposed to come out
End to it with complete rout
Nothing can run for longer period on set lines
You have to create by lane or sidelines
So incase you need escape route
You can walk slowly on one foot
Time may compel you to shed the differences
You may have to draw the correct inferences
There might arise many instances
Where you will have to clear your stances
Person is adapted to set norms
He may find it smooth until warned
If something goes wrong
He needs to amend and remain among
Nothing can protect you from established practice
That may be easily understood and noticed
You may be cheated on various occasions
That may compel you to address the questions
It is neither your strength
Nor a set wave length
You need to fluctuate and respond
As it may then properly correspond
It is nature’s law to expose to change
Even seasons respond with and manage
We as human being need to adjust
That is demand and of course must

The Times Keep On Changing
As dead as the dodo some say about rhyme
But then suppose everything does have it's time
The great rhyme poets and poetesses in their long rest now lay
They did have their innings one of them can say.
In art, music and literature the changes do happen fast
And only Nature forever is the one who does last
People come and go and the past it has gone
And only Nature herself seems to keep keeping on.
In the last days of Winter coming up to the Spring
Out there in the woodland the birds nest and sing
To insure the survival of their species they must breed that is Nature's way
In Nature there is birth and there is death every day.
It does seem that most things have their use by date
And for anyone or anything time does not wait
And though some to the past with great fondness do cling
Each new generation with them new ideas bring.
The times keep on changing and changing quite fast
And nothing save Nature ever does seem to last
But the big river forever to the great ocean does flow
And the Seasons they come and the Seasons they go.

The Very Last Time
Sometimes I wonder if Im still alive
How much abuse can someone stand and survive
How long Ive waited for this day to arrive
When I wont be a fool no more
Nobody knows how you push me around
Nobody sees how you treat me like Im your clown
I never made a sound
Its the very last time you will get on my case
Its the very last time cause
I wont be a fool no more
Its the very last time you will step on my face
Its the very last time cause
I wont be a fool no more
I still remember the look in your eyes
Just a reflection of the things you despise
But sooner or later Ive got to get wise
And I wont be a fool no more
Nobody sees how you treat me like dirt
Nobody knows just how badly a man can hurt
Youve got a lesson to learn
I can still feel the sting of your words
But I wont cry no matter how much it hurts
My head may go crazy, my heart it may burst
But I wont be a fool no more
No I wont be a fool no more

I Used To Have Money One Time
I had Cadillac's in my future
Debutantes in my past
I made a deal with the devil for a whole lot of money
Thinkin' it would last and last
But a fool and his money are bound to part
And what goes up must come down
So take my advice, don't trust the roll of the dice
Keep your feet on solid ground
I used to have money one time
Life of adventure and crime
I used to have money one time
Lots of women and wine
But who's gonna tell a fool? Who's gonna tell a fool?
Who's gonna tell a fool? That he ain't cool
Now thems were hard times back in the eighties bous
People barely had enough to get by
But oh not me foot loose and fancy free
There was nothing to myself I'd deny
So fellas listen to my story now
Though you have heard this tale befo'
Take care of your needs and watch out for your greeds
Or that wolf will be at your door
I used to have money one time
Life of adventure and crime
I used to have money one time
Now I ain't got a dime
But who's gonna be the fool? Who's gonna be the fool?
Who's gonna be the fool? It still ain't cool.
Who's gonna tell a fool? Who's gonna tell a fool?
Who's gonna tell a fool? It still ain't cool.

Im A Fool To Want You
(f. sinatra/j. herron/j. wolf)
Im a fool to want you, Im a fool to want you
To want a love that cant be true, a love thats there for others too
Im a fool to hold you, such a fool to hold you
To seek a kiss not mine alone, to share a kiss the devil has known
Time and time again I said Id leave you
Time and time again I went away
And then would come a time when I would need you
And once again these words Id have to say
Take me back, I love you, pity me, I need you
I know its wrong, it must be wrong
But right or wrong I cant get along without you
Hmmmm, Im a fool to want you
You hurt me time and time again
But I still love you babe
Im a fool, Im your fool

Wise Fool
You my dear are such a fool
You say this is wrong, so is that
Yet you make human feelings a tool
You control them with fear such a wise rat
But you never thought
That although you have fear
There are others that have been taught
And into your heart we will peer
You are deaf, listen to no-one
And care only for yourself
Do you truly think this war you have won?
You are a human yet you show the devil itself
Your power is a double-edged sword
It will never totally bend to your will
You can see you sanity, a broken cord
Now this wise fool is made to kill
We will never fall
You can’t supress us forever
We will once again stand tall
You power will fail no matter how clever
See now your control is lost
See now this battle ends
For you it will cost
No longer supported by friends
Your truths all lies
Your very thoughts a crime
All your people break their ties
The years you ruled were such a depressing time

She is a play-girl
She the wrong wrong girl for me
And I say to myself
Youre a fool, fool, fool
She doesnt love you
She doesnt need you, this I know
Shes got a trail of men that she takes
Wherever she goes
She hasnt the strength to love any single man for a length of time

Ooh, I dont stand a chance
[and I say to myself]
Its a long long romance

Well, shes out to slay

Well, shes got it made

Oh yeah, oh yeah

And I say to myself that she shouldnt love anybody else in the world but me
And I say to myself
Forget her now, now, now
She dont want you
She dont love you anymore
And I say to myself youre a fool, fool, fool
Shes dont love you
She dont need you, this I know
And I turn around and look at myself
Youll never get her, youre a fool
Say after me Im a fool- Im a fool
[and I say to myself]
I cant get what I want
[and I say to myself]
And it makes me sad
[and I say to myself]
I cant get what I want
[and I say to myself]
And it makes me mad

Oh yeah, oh yeah

Everything And Everyone
She's never afraid of what her past had might become
Alone in her lazy time in-between a thought that ends with loss
Her life is spent searching for the next
An answer a question never asked
Everything and everyone finds their time
Everything and everyone writes their line
But it seems hard now things work out in time
She lacks self pride her lazy time
Never once identified her lonely nights
Spending days alone but through the phone
She waits for a voice to calm her name
Then takes a drink says it makes me sane
She lives through a dream she once called fate
Then finds herself alone to contemplate
Everything and everyone finds their time
Everything and everyone writes their line
But it seems hard now things work out in time

The Fool
You don't know me but I know who you are
Mind if I sit down
Do I look familiar if I don't well I should
I'm sure you've seen me around
I know you've probably heard my name
Though we've not been introduced
I'm the fool in love with the fool
Who's still in love with you
If you've got a minute I'll buy you a drink
I've got something to say
It might sound crazy but last night in his sleep
I heard him call out your name
This ain't the first time he's done it before
And it's hard to face the truth
I'm the fool in love with the fool
Who's still in love with you
I know love is a fragile thing
And I'm trying hard to make it last
But it ain't easy holding on to my dream
When he's holding on to the past
Just one more thing before I go
I'm not here to put you down
You don't love him and that's a fact
Girl I've seen you around
But you hold his heart in the palm of your hand
And it's breaking mine in two
'Cause I'm the fool in love with the fool
Who's still in love with you
I'm the fool in love with the fool
Who's still in love with you

Remember Tomorrow
When that's all we have
Yesterday grows
And today becomes the past
Remember the sorrow
Everyone has over things
They wish they made last...
Oh, remember
I will remember
Remember the time
When life lived over slow
Tomorrow seems so far away
Today was all we know
Remember when we wanted to
Grow up way so fast
now yesterday's full
Of all thats lost away now casts
Do you friend remember
Now that tomorrow's gone
And all that's left of today
Is yesterday's timeless song

Grandfather Clock
The old grandfather clock stood in the hall
It kept time for us all
Through winter, spring, summer, fall
When I was young I would say
The big hand is on five today
and that's how I told time that way
As I progressed in age
Time was read in the correct usage
And time became more of a gauge
Time to go to school and learn
Time to work for what you earn
Time to leave no stone unturned
Time for weddings dresses worn
Time for children to be born
Time for graduation gowns adorned
Time for me, time for you
Time to see things through
Time for living and dieing too
The old grandfather clock still keeps time
Counting the hours that life is prime
So make the most or be left behind
