Live with harmony
We can live with harmony
Extend the warmth to so many
Make humanity a living example
Time is opportune and very ample
Plant the seeds of brotherhood
Spread the message in neighbourhood
If this much is done as human
We have every right to live as man or woman
Though we have extreme identity
We can maintain separate entity
Function in such a way that it looks in order
Still we confine with limit in border
We can not subdue each other
As role is defined and not to breach one way or another
It will be ideal to say that we are inevitable
Two essential aspects and very much capable
It would be naïve to say that female are meant to be slave
Even thought tied with knot to accompany up to grave
It won’t be considered as heroic step or very brave
If we go on undermining their way or do not pave
If that is considered as important feeling
One must go for it without any more killing
The spirit behind concept and its essence
It is to be taken as of prime importance hence
After all it can take place in this life only
Many might have come and perished recently
It is not important how much you lived
But how you lived honestly and believed?
Why so much stress is laid on peaceful co-existence?
Why it is realized in earnestness with forceful insistence?
The world has witness great upheaval and turmoil?
They want prefer it to be dragged on continuously or always boil
The hostile atmosphere has paid no dividend
It has not seen the peaceful atmosphere and an end
The cold war has come to an end but exists like volcano
We are sitting on it with always fear of inferno
The fall out of two wars have completely paralyzed economy
The out come was disastrous and very much stormy
How many deaths we witnessed as bad consequence?
No one is advocating war in any form or its presence
When it has been tried at all the levels
We have duty to see to it that it excels
Retains its charm without any fear
Else we have to be prepared for pain to bear
Man to man contact facilitate the congenial atmosphere
It eliminates the occurrence of any conflict or fear
Before we miss the opportunity or bus
As sensitive human beings, it is trusted on us

Cloud and atmosphere
Clouds appear
In the atmosphere
Atmosphere remained
Uncontaminated by clouds
Clouds is not always present
In the atmosphere
Atmosphere exists
Even when there is no clouds.
There is no clouds
There is atmosphere
There is no atmosphere
There is no clouds
Clouds is atmosphere
Atmosphere is not clouds.
Atmosphere exists in its own beings
Clouds has no separate existence
You are my atmosphere
I'm your cloud
Pray
Make me always clear
And in good use.

Let people rule
In olden days some specialized people managed war front
They had unique art and presented it to kings very blunt
They were given place in kingdom and adored seat
So many wars were won and it was considered marvelous feat
So is the role open for modern viewers and poets
They can’t remain mute spectator or quiet
It becomes equally important to rise to occasion
Arouse the public opinion and inflame the passion
It is poet's passion that ignites
Compel him to imagine and write
The real values of human life and misery
To remove the sadness and make him merry
Not all might have done same
Yet they have earned and brought the fame
We still miss them at our heart
As it was well beginning and start
The world is sitting on live volcano
Human race seems to be locked with inferno
Where is the way out to offer resistance?
Even though it is left voluntarily to insistence
The revolution has not come all of sudden
It may have lots of sufferings and pain even
It is never dieing out cream for secured future
Someone has to strive hard and make it sure
The news are flashed across globe in no times
It has desirous impact and effects sometimes
Yet people have to undergo lots of sufferings
There is no enough heed to their patience and offerings
I would pray for quick end to their plight
So many have lost their lives in peaceful fight
How come it is that we have to offer blood?
There is enough of misery and shortage of food
Billions are siphoned away and used for luxury
It is adding to their woe, misery and worry
It is high time we harness the poetic skill
Let people rule supreme with powerful will

An error is fear
The fear of an error is already an error
If it is revealed at the end then it is fear
You may go into any depth and analyze
It can be had in maximum or crystallize
We don’t rule out any criticism
It is not called individualism
It is neither sarcastic or joke
It is meddling or unnecessary pokes
We can sum up what has been said
We can also judge what has been laid
We are not here for anything paid
It is not prepared or already made
When we set for the quest?
We try all out and go for best
It is critical time and real test
Nothing can be had if you cool down or rest
You should not feel hungry or be called mad
It may result in negative and you will be sad
If you are not sure of any result for things
You should not go for it or try at anything
Is it necessary to go all out for venture?
Can that shape out destiny or future?
Will we commit any mistake or error?
Can that not be seen in any mirror?
It can be judgmental miscalculation
It has got no relevance or direct relation
There is no doubt or any question
There is chance for no feed back but only retaliation
You may not be taken lightly when confronted on the issue
There may be constant watch and periodical reviews
Your actions may be takes with serious views
Not all may object but kindly taken by only few
It is human lapse and can’t be considered as such
It is miscalculation and should not be harped too much
It is to be forgiven once for all and discounted the fear
Not much stress is to be laid and no grudge to bear
The moment you have fear in mind
You may loose balance and can’t remain kind
Everything seems to be in doldrums and shaky
It should not be landed in mess and look tricky
An error can create serious misunderstanding
It remain there permanent and unending
It has to be addressed in shortest possible time
It may multiply and sometimes considered as crime
To err deliberately is not pardonable
It is almost not appreciated and condemnable
Sometimes it is considered as an art to deceive
It is not welcomed and not gently received
One must face it as brave
Though its consequences may be grave
It is human to err and must be forgiven
The situation should be too far driven

Grow The Seeds
It is desired to grow the seeds
Had remained always critical needs
Generations after generations are carried on
Many changes have taken place and time has gone
It has been divine wish to encourage the growth
Overall improvement in morality and in general or both
It needed clear foresight to provide the impetus
The nature is thus there to provide all inputs
Seasons make change and everybody easily finds
Spring definitely creates magic in human mind
Very nice and congenial atmosphere is created
The human mind favors and some change is recreated
Seeds are more important
Some thing should be poured instant
The changes take place
And there is emergence of new face
The tendency is to grow and multiply
The world at large must simplify
It is normal process to develop fast
But human race as such must not last
It must take care of everything
Humane touch is unique and something
It comes in form of passion, love and hatred
We are born tough yet should not be mislead
It is prime concern to keep speed at pace
Humanity is not a forgone conclusion or race
It has to remain and must thrive
We need to strengthen it to survive

Fear Of Death
why do we fear death?
our fear of death is based
in our fear of living, or more,
our fear of not having lived!
life is a calling, an adventure,
a mission, a duty....
the gifts we are given, the
trials and turmoil we go through,
prepare us for what we're called
to do....
each living person's calling is unique...
and no one else can ever judge...
we judge ourselves by what we give,
and how much of our 'selves' we are
willing to risk!
we often have to 'die' in order to live...
die to our mis-conceptions, die to our
clinging, die to our own petty wants....
die to what the world expects... die to
comfort.... die to that which does not last!
what we call hell is the result of not answering
the call.... the choice is ours, day by day,
moment by moment....
dare to live!

World’s Clarion Call: Stop All Wars; Love Your Brethren!
Wars spread terror;
Wars cause horror;
Wars kill persons;
Wars maim people;
Wars pollute air;
Wars contaminate soil;
Wars destroy buildings;
Wars ravage cities;
Wars ruin countries;
Wars cause hatred;
Wars are expensive;
Wars escalate prices;
Wars create enemies;
Wars generate ill-will;
Wars instill mistrust;
Wars make the poor, poorer;
Wars make the world,
A difficult place to live in;
Don’t waste money on futile wars.
Love settles conflicts;
Love gets friends;
Love converts foes;
Love leads to dialogue;
Love spreads brotherhood;
Love brings lasting peace;
Love leads to progress;
Love is all-encompassing;
Love is the key to human problems;
Love rules the universe;
Love leads to heaven;
Stop the wars and love your brethren;
Science should improve man’s plight;
Unite against human calamities;
Fight diseases, poverty, and illiteracy;
Leaders should give up their ego;
The world should be free of fear;
Peaceful co-existence should bring all near;
Make the earth more habitable for all.
This is the world’s clarion call!

Herculean task
Lately world leaders have consented to some session
May be Herculean task but agreed to reduce tension
Hunger, death and starvation looming over horizon
Atmosphere is also not favourable with depletion of ozone’s
We are spending millions on outer space
May we call it futile and mad race?
Even one percent of it may reduce the poverty
Need not watch countless deaths with pity
How much do we loose on internal fights?
Why scores of people loose over legitimate rights?
Even land of liberty face danger and not feel at ease
Have they no right to continue and live with peace?
Our forefathers had dreamed of free world
Warm relations with all and war hysteria in cold
They gave us freedom with thought of expression
No to all measures which lead to suppression
I think it may take very long years
Good appeals may also fall on deaf ears
Weak may have fear of complete annihilation
Sovereignty and legitimacy may loose its relation
Some of worst fears are likely to disappear
World may live in peace and no constant fear
Peace efforts may yield result but brunt bear
No War, no war but peace words we may hear
Over the years we lived under constant shadow
War hysteria and no room for peace window
How many have lost lives leaving behind widows
Can’t we honestly adhere and take simple vows
Generations after generation may inherit the legacy
Hate and distrust may rule and have fallacy
Let us build good foundation to last for long
History may judge and not prove us wrong
Be the first to rise from the grave
You are sons of soils and equally brave
It is you who will lead the peaceful world
Always happiness with constant fears at hold

The Brave Fear
A fear that dispels all other fears
A fear that conquers all other fears
A fear that elevates
A fear that sustains
The brave fear
To have it is to fear
To maintain it is to obey
To fear the Creator
To obey His majesty
The brave fear
A fear that defeats that of death
A fear that is from God’s providence
A fear that imparts confidence
A fear that imparts mirth
The brave fear
This fear from the Lord comes
This fear to the Lord directs
All your being and resources
All your future in His hands it places
The brave fear
Fear this fear not
Possess this fear
Buy this fair fear
With all your fair lot
The brave fear
To buy this fear
Wise is to grow
Security you bear
Your life to reach the brow
The brave fear
The brow of living
In eternity peacefully
The brow of being
What God created you to be fully
The brave fear
The brave fear is this
That all other fears you may have
Exchange them with this
That Christ is there you to save
From all other coward fears

We Need Fear For Survival
Of valour on the battlefield and in other ways we hear
But only the most foolhardy one would never know of fear
We need fear for survival may they rest in peace the brave
Their reward for their bravery the cold and darkness of the grave.
We need fear for survival the very brave are dead
And little use to them 'twould seem if good things of them are said
We need a bit of fear in us in order to stay alive
Few of the brave to a ripe old age have been known to survive.
I'd rather live to a ripe old age than have died young and brave
We need a bit of fear in us for to keep cheating the grave
Why would you even wish to die though your better days are long gone
Our will to live is always strong and it keeps us keeping on.
The fear of death is a healthy fear the brave seem to die young
Though of no use to the deceased if their praises are sung
In their graves they do never hear the bugler for them play
They lay in peace forever more that's life as some might say.

The fact that we are human beings is infinitely more important than all the peculiarities that distinguish human beings from one another; it is never the given that confers superiorities: "virtue", as the ancients called it, is defined at the level of "that which depends on us". In both sexes is played out the same drama of the flesh and the spirit, of finitude and transcendence; both are gnawed away by time and laid in wait for by death, they have the same essential need for one another; and they can gain from their liberty the same glory. If they were to taste it, they would no longer be tempted to dispute fallacious privileges, and fraternity between them could then come into existence.

The Bear, The Fire, And The Snow
'I live in fear of the snow,' said the bear.
'Whenever it's here, be sure I'll be there.
Oh, the pain and the cold,
when one's bearish and old.
I live in fear of the snow.'
'I live in fear of the fire,' said the snow.
'Whenever it comes then it's time I must go.
with its yellow lick flames
leaping higher and higher,
I live in fear of the fire.'
'I live in fear of the river,' said the fire.
'It can drown all my flames anytime it desires,
and the thought of the wet
makes me sputter and shiver.
I live in fear of the river.'
'I live in fear of the bear,' said the river.
'It can lap me right up, don't you know?'
While a mile away
you can hear the bear say,
'I live in fear of the snow.'

Order the fear
Order the fear
And watch it smear
Inside your ears
And through your tears
Choose to fear
And when it’s clear
In the gloom of atmosphere
You are drown so dear
Live in fear
And swept by cheer
Though you want to disappear
Still hope is creeping near

Break silence
We failed to break silence
No one thought it can ever happen at once
It did take place and exposed bitternace
We were not looking at each and hiding face
She never argued at any point in past
This development took all of sudden and very fast
She was considered calm and cool
But I witnessed her to be forceful
All the time she was letting me off easily
As I thought over it and concluded readily
One must read human mind thoroughly
If failed in it then it shall be called simple folly
She may be right in her attitude
Every time male donation is considered to be rude
No one must underestimate her female partner
As she may not all the times surrender?
I was little arrogant and showed disrespect
She took it by heart and considered as hostile act
No one offers such behavior to better half
This was not a matter to be taken lightly and laugh it off
I realized at the same moment
That my act was fit to resent
Only it needed some initiate from my side
I must take her into confidence by surprise
I knew she will cool down like ice
Little love gesture was enough reason to suffice
I was sure she will not thrust more to spoil the relation
I could see the pain on her and that gave me enough of indication
"Bed tea for you" I woke her up in the morning
She was fast asleep and snoring
I was apologetic and showed it on face
She was little hesitant but believed in no more chase
I took her hand and promised no recurrence
It had taken all of sudden and by chance
She conceded to my point and relented
We were same again and consented

A need to do
What do I need in life|?
A beautiful wife,
No fight with swords or knife
Peaceful co existence
No more insistence
Lively presence
True essence
Why can’t I have it?
Unnecessary dog fight in mind
No sympathy or good words of any kind
No love or attachment suitably finds
Suspicious mind with sick ideas
Unnecessary arguments and pleas
Simple unrest and …………..
Love to live with present
Superficial ideas always absent
Feet firmly placed on the ground
Congenial atmosphere always found
No to hatred and yes to fine gesture
Not to live in fast but look at future
How do I overcome?
No to worries and happy welcome
Peace at heart and stable mind
Simple march in direction of wind
No confrontation and compromising trend
Not to aggravate and ways to mend
No enemies but find good friends

Losing Life to Fear
In fear of being heard,
In fear of being understood,
In fear of not being heard,
In fear of not being understood,
In fear of being misheard,
In fear of being misunderstood,
In fear of hearing too much,
In fear of understanding too much,
In fear of saying too much,
In fear of saying too little,
In fear of being too enlightened,
In fear of not being factually correct,
In fear of being too bright,
In fear of being too ignorant,
In fear of being praised,
In fear of being bullied,
In fear of not being like others,
In fear of loosing my individuality,
In fear of being ostracized,
In fear of being camouflaged,
In fear of being the attraction,
In fear of being ignored,
In fear of being too different,
In fear of being too common,
In fear of following others,
In fear of disobeying others,
In fear of being too gullible,
In fear of being too stubborn,
In fear of being used,
In fear of being misused,
In fear of rewards,
In fear of punishments,
In fear of responsibility,
In fear of expectations,
In fear of being trusted,
In fear of being mistrusted,
In fear of your lack of response,
In fear of your over-reaction,
In fear of eternal silence,
In fear of noisy communication,
In fear of your acceptance,
In fear of your rejection,
In fear of exciting you,
In fear of upsetting you,
In fear of loving you,
In fear of hating you,
In fear of your love,
In fear of your hatred,
In fear of being loved,
In fear of being hated,
In fear of thinking,
In fear of existing,
In fear of living,
In fear of dying,
In fear of being myself,
In fear of being another,
In fear of knowing myself,
In fear of neglecting myself,
I lost my voice;
I lost my identity;
I lost my self.
I lost this life;
I lost my life;
I lost life's life.

A birth and death
Several deaths in single birth and death cycle
all religious books speak the same including Bible
who can deny the existence death probability
that has been made permanently the continuity
Human beings are always guided by emotions
they emerge in the form of innumerable questions
it may strike as everything is at stake for the future
life is uncertain and nothing can be taken for sure
This leads to imagination as how the life would shape
life would move on smoothly or prove as trap
at every stage it may appear as if the end of journey
you may feel very poor even after having enough of money
No one may comfortably say that he is not afraid of death
he may not be in position to proclaim he is weary of wealth
he too may say falsely that he can withstand any type of wrath
he can do all with the simple reason that he does not believe in faith
It has been clearly laid down that death is complete surety
it has to be faced by child, poor, rich or even mighty
it is of no use to loose the ground at every stage
it may be countered if life at every page
Birth is reality and we have been ushered in new world
the life may be shaped by others who will continue to hold
all cards and bring us up in the realistic atmosphere
even though it is full of challenge, agony, pain and fear
it is realized and understood that life can't be brought to an end
we have to adjust to the scenario with little or some amends
how could one thing of bringing it to stage of collapse?
even if he has to face so much hardship and remain tense
It is not bead of roses that you may be heavenly gifted
it is sheer your efforts that may help the standard to be lifted
not all may be lucky to survive the onslaught of fate
some may get the fortune early of life or very late
It is futile to think of death at every moment
you should not fall prey to defeatist tendency or movement
when we know that life is destined for something new
you have to make concerted efforts and renew
One one birth and one death in complete life span
no second thought or idea must work as plan
it will be cowards death every time
this is drawback and will be considered as biggest crime

A Best Way To Liberation! (1)
As cage bird or imprisoned person we all live our life;
A soul in the body is like a prisoner in the prison here;
However joyful or sorrowful the life is freedom is bliss;
For which we all explore life, world, Nature and God!
Love makes man live in the world inspired by Nature;
Man knows love from Nature and lives better life;
Love of Art, beauty, Nature, music helps to live longer;
Due to love he lives family life far evolved from animals!
Fear is the opposing force of love perpetrated by animals;
Animals achieve all by the force of fear more than love;
But love of knowledge or education puts an end to fear
And knowledge by experience gives wisdom and culture!
Culture ennobles man from animals to live best life
As culture is best way of life based on best of acts
Covering best thoughts, best words and best deeds
Extensively satisfying all aspects of human activities!
Life is conscious existence enjoying bliss in the world;
Divine life is eternal conscious existence in bliss absolute!
Physical life is consciousness of soul powered by energy;
Divine life is consciousness of Universal Spirit everywhere!
Matter has evolved from energy powered by Universal Spirit;
Human body has time limit as all perishable commodities;
The soul within is the dropp of the Universal Soul everywhere,
That is the saturation or end point of all living souls here!

All Lovely Smile
All lovely smiles
Give encouragement meanwhile
Ideas fly from memory file,
Create impact in its own style
That is why it is often advocated
When stress is so much related
Have nice company of good people
They will take you out of trouble
Love and affection are most desired
In any form they are admired
Whether from child, mother or sister
It has capacity to change or alter
You can be in smiles again
Takes off your stress and pain
You are back in game
Happiness to share without feeling shame
No one can deny about such existence
All great leaders and sages lay such insistence
Danger can be pushed away and safety ensured
Peaceful living and harmony fully assured
Whole world can go mad at one smile
Great kingdoms have experienced and walked for miles
Why to talk of hatred when love is in abundance?
It must be given fair trial and tested at once
It has strength and it’s on own sphere
There has to be confidence sans fear
Love can cause no grave injury
It can calm down any amount of fury
Let it flow like river water
You can have anything sought after
See the magnitude in its pull
An ordinary can understand it or even fool

It should concern you
It should, in no way, concern you
You have your entire share that is due
Let others go to anywhere and have downfall?
Why unnecessarily worry and respond to a call?
In which way it should bother us?
Are there not accidents taking place while traveling in bus?
Why create so much stir and fuss?
We should merely express sorry and live thus
Many may be meeting with unnatural deaths
Then also nothing affects and shakes our faith
We simply shed tears and express sorrow
Who cares for today and even for better tomorrow?
We do make sometimes money out of tragedy
Steal the articles with eyes so much greedy
Lead the way and prefer where gain is more
We witness such scenes never seen before
Hate, crime, rape and all today reign supreme
Seems they are so important and object prime
We get attracted and stay easily confused
Have no moral authority to say no and refuse
Neither they are of permanent nature
Nor do they seem to form part of future
Is there any remedy or formula for cure?
I ask to all as am not confident and sure
There is little hope in despair
Even vehicle can become serviceable after repair
We are human beings and sensitive at heart
We should not stoop so below only to look smart
Many live with hardships but show the courage
Losing no sense even after facing outrage
Love to work among poor and destitute
Consider the work as holy and substitute
It may need no extra efforts
You don’t have to part with slight comforts
Only simple desire to work for others
Pain and agony to self so others need not suffer
We unnecessarily think too much and lay a stress
Speak always lies and never admit or confess
It has become part and necessity of the day
We consider it useful to be formed in a day
If it is really essential then it must be performed
Definite idea and opinion should be formed
It should not pinch all the times everywhere
It may not help and lead you any where
Practical life and morality are two separate things
You my have will power to ride on powerful wings
You may be poor but happiness as that of kings
Still you are not able to come out of rings
Try earnestly to come out of these phenomena
There may me lot more problems and lacuna
Still we should stay aloof and out of sight
Consider it of no importance and take it light

One Part Lullaby
Life is one part lullaby, two parts fear c oscar wilde
One part lullaby, two parts fear
Another animal mixing with the atmosphere
It takes forever to learn to pretend
Nature is the enemy, weather is not your friend
Who can be trusted?
With perfect weather inside
Look for magic in the daily routine
Its all it takes to survive
Leaving heaven below
Go wherever the angels follow
Im watching my body and mind divide
Why live for a future that never arrives on time?
I cant be trusted, Im dust in the wind
I let he weather decide where my day begins
Im not a rebel of the natural one
Im in love with the chemical
Following the setting sun
Lost my patience
All that it takes to survive
Watching my mind and my body divide
Why live for a future that never arrives on time?
Leaving heaven below
Go wherever the angels follow
One part lullaby, two parts fear
Another animal, mixing with the atmosphere
One part lullaby, two parts fear
Im watching my body and mind divide
Why live for a future that never arrives on time?
