Not supposed to
Teens are not supposed to love
They are desperately and forcefully drove
It is still unbelievable and not agreed to
We face all ordeals to pass through
They are sentimentally driven
No facts stand to them as proven
It is coming as it is in new form
They are unaware and ill informed
It may be simple infatuation
They would love its continuation
It may be just facial attraction
It will be ill timed and hasty action
There are alarming reports
At an early age they are forced to abort
What a pity for school going children?
There life soon to become barren
We may continue on the basis of liberal view
This trauma may be faced by very few
It has reached to an alarming signal
It can’t be considered as normal
The teenagers have been lured to believe
They have all the rights to enjoy and live
Still it is proved to be an uphill task
It has miserably failed to last
The open education has done nothing
We may not come to know anything
Future may tell us about something
They stand exposed for everything

You Go Away
You go away
No one would care
You act coward and don't dare
You keep quiet and speak no where
If don't go away
Then they will kick you and throw from the way
Hold her hand firmly
Stand up gradually
Make the bold move forcefully
Get her by your side and prove
Made decision and move
I know nothing of this would ever happen
Not a word will be said or uttered even
Boy or girl may shorten the life line
Just on the name of love and feel fine
I read the love stories intensely
I feel hurt with anguish deeply
How can any one end life aimlessly
When it can be lead successively
What has gone actually wrong?
Why they want to have everything for simple song?
How life can be bartered for simple” I love you”
When there is lot more in life to prove
I fail to cry over their hollow resolve
When they express their inability to solve
Take infatuation as strong attachment
Love as only means to gain movement
What if one gets no where and face failure!
What can he find in rest of the life as future?
I may not be able to answer with assurance
Even if get closer to their nerves at once

Eye Fat Suicide
Eye failed at suicide
Eye failed at suicide
An individual person HAS no rights in the millennium
All individual rights have been taken away from the constitution
There is no more freedom no more one man doing what he wants
When eye hung the rope around my neck my feet still reached the floor
When eye poured my poison the thief just came along
He drank my hemlock in the form of all my whiskey and then all of my beer
It helped me to quit drinking in the long run for eye tired of thief
But when he stole my suicide eye got no great relief
The gun was oiled and loaded but all eye did was tear
My finger on the trigger stayed when eye heard the neighbors there
Eye will not let any personality send me to my grave
When eye tried to drown myself they came and saved
When eye found my love is helped me in my quest to live
She does have love inside her it's the only thing eye fear
To leave behind this world to lose so great a love
Eye lost at suicide when eye found my flower love
She is that important to make me want to try again
To live long after time has made me bitter in my live
To attempt the possible future the ever and the iff
Eye failed at my own suicide eye also failed to live
But the second chance has come
This time eye will try to love
Something im not good at something from above
To love my purple love
To fail at suicide
To live and love once more
To even up the floor of all the empty lies
Eye failed at suicide

Our Marriage Is Our Garden
Our marriage is our garden.
I want our garden to be beautiful.
With lush green grass,
With fragrant and colourful flowers.
A place of solace.
A place of peace.
A place of love.
Our garden must be watered.
Not watered too much.
As that would saturate the ground.
Not watered too little.
As that would leave the plants wilted.
And our grass barren.
But regularly.
So the flowers can stand tall
It must be weeded.
It must be maintained.
It must be loved.
We will plant seeds in our garden.
For new life makes any garden more beautiful and diverse.
We can harvest the fruit trees, but our harvest is limited
If we eat all the fruit too quick,
Then we must wait until the next harvest to eat again.
If we don't pick the fruit when it is right, it will spoil.
Our harvest is for our family.
If I eat all the fruit myself, then they will starve.
If we eat too much we will get sick.
If we eat what we are supposed to, then we will be healthy.
If we do not monitor the fruit,
Then someone might eat more than their share.
If we do not stand guard in our garden,
A thief might come into the garden to steal our fruit.
The fruit for our family.
For their garden must be barren and their crops have spoiled.
Our garden will stand the test of all seasons.
As all gardens do.
Another garden will also experience the same seasons.
Just at different times.
All gardens face rain.
All gardens get sun.
It is the rain that nourishes the garden and helps it's life to grow.
But our garden must be maintained regularly.
Only artificial things require no maintenance.
The artificial has no life.
It is fake, it is plastic.
Our garden needs to be real.
So life may grow and continue to grow.
So one day our children can enjoy a garden of their own.
For them and their children.
May their garden be overflowing with life and love.
And be the most beautiful garden in the world.

It Begins Right Now!
we live in the most intense time
that the modern world has seen...
governments and economies are
caving from within... the very
air we breathe is polluted, the
water we drink has been defiled.
sea life is being destroyed, and
the world food situation worsens
at an alarming rate... millions
live and die in poverty, millions
are homeless, without medical care...
masses of workers are unemployed,
children grow up on the streets
without hope, and end up in prison.
human rights are being violated,
or just plain taken. and people
are absolutely afraid of each other!
we have closed our eyes, and numbed
our souls for too long. now we stand
on the brink of disaster, and we're
forced to wake up!
so what can one person do? one person
can live in a way that stands for truth...
one person can demand freedom, and equality.
one person can reach out a helping hand...
and when one person daring to live becomes
millions, we can move the stone from the
mouth of the cave!
but it all begins with one person... and
it begins right now, or its too damned late!

A Strand Of Hair
Hills and mountains are dotted
across our landscape fair,
at the top of either
you are at the roof of the world
looking down upon
all who live below.
You stand and gaze at the world
an all the riches it bestows.
Seeing everyone’s destiny
in a strand of hair.
Loves maybe invisible to the naked eye,
but you have to be blind
not to see it in someone else’s eyes.
Strangers pass on a street
neither ever seen the other before.
There is an attraction
that makes them stop and look around;
soon they are together
melting into one another’s arms.
Love is just a chance meeting
between strangers somewhere.
No one can prepare for it.
How can you prepare for something
you never know when it will happen?
The only thing you can do
is carry on doing what you have to do
and let cupid’s arrow fly
when and if it must.
You maybe smitten
if his aim is true,
in the meantime don’t lie
awake at night wishing for
what tomorrow might never bring.
Just go out and live a life
as normal as can be.
For love and cupid will seize
a chance when you are unaware.

For Keeps
The synonyms below for what is Love
only illustrate how complex the thing is.
Is Love affection, sex, brotherly, motherly
or infatuation?
Is it strong attraction,
Mysterious Intensity
which cannot be defined?
And what of Love of God
which of these below
fits best that loving style?
Forced to look at this
in detail
I had not noticed before,
I now need to decide
which is best in my regard-
the passionate soul-mated-ness Love,
the Hungry Style,
the Affection Model
the Devoted Lover
stable but less exciting fare?
Should Love-
the kind I give
and prefer-
be the dangerous kind,
heart leaping,
or the more adult
view of love
as Foundation Building?
Perhaps we love in different ways
which vary throughout the years;
so no one loving style fits all.
But, forced to choose, my choice
is clear;
I will take Devotion as my best way
of Love
given and received.
Here's why:
Devotion is Focused Beam
steady and unrelenting
and implies a certain Unconditionally.
My Love is devoted to me and I to her
seems a good basis for Eternity.
Devotion never veers,
in storm or adversity
and that gives comfort
in treacherous times as these.
I'll trade the flaming kind,
for while it burns brightly,
soon flickers
makes apologies
and leaves
never to return.
No, give me the long-haul comfort
of a Love that's there when these hands
wrinkle,
for then and there
is when I will need the most
steadfast loving care.
Others may take the photos out
of flaming loves
gained and lost.
I for one
am playing for keeps
I want my love
here beside me
always
And you know,
she is
for keeps
I mean.
WHAT IS LOVE?
Synonyms: These nouns denote feelings of warm personal attachment or strong attraction to another person. Love is the most intense: marrying for love.
Affection is a less ardent and more unvarying feeling of tender regard: parental affection.
Devotion is earnest, affectionate dedication and implies selflessness: teachers admired for their devotion to children.
Fondness is strong liking or affection: a fondness for small animals.
Infatuation is foolish or extravagant attraction, often of short duration: lovers blinded to their differences by their mutual infatuation.

We know when we understand:
Almighty God is a living man.
You can fool some people sometimes,
But you cant fool all the people all the time.
So now we see the light (what you gonna do? ),
We gonna stand up for our rights! (yeah, yeah, yeah!)
So you better:
Get up, stand up! (in the morning! git it up!)
Stand up for your rights! (stand up for our rights!)

Child Abuse
You're still young and innocent and mild
After all you're still only a child
You have parents, that are supposed to protect you
But often they don't, more than they do
Some fathers love their kids more than anything
But there are bad ones, that disgrace they will bring
You dread the night, when you go to bed
That he will come in, say things that shouldn't be said
They will sneak around when no one else is home
They can't hurt you if they can't catch you alone
They will say you can't tell what they did to you
They will tell you lies that just aren't true
You get so you can't stand his filthy touch
They say they do this because they love you so much
You want his love and so afraid to tell
Love him so much, don't want him in jail
You feel so hopeless and so very sad
Can't remember a time, that he made you glad
If your mother doesn't believe you, continue to tell
You need to do something, scream or yell
This is a poem, that's hard to hear
You don't deserve the pain and all the fear
Some people have children, they don't derserve
Our children's rights, we have to preserve
You can go to school and tell your teacher
If that doesn't work go and tell your preacher!

Too much!
Fifteen years old we are
Freshmen year is on the way
Excited all the day
First day came
And it is the school's blame
Because school wasn't the same
High school, have to be adventurous
But we became so furious
Too much pressure they put on us
From the first Day
Fun, i wouldn't say
Medical college they think we are in
Hey! , Back to reality
This isn't our ability
Doctors, we are not going to be
We are in high school, if you can see? !
Enjoy life, we want
Too much pressure we can't stand
Teenagers we are
Hey! , we can't even drive a car
Too much pressure
We can't measure
Life we need to Enjoy
To fi full our minds with Joy. :)

Killing us one by one
In one way or another
American will find a way to eliminate the problem
One by one
The problem is
the troubles in the black youth of the ghettos
And one by one
we are being wiped off the face of this earth
At an extremly alarming rate
And even more alarming is the fact
that we are not fighting back

Ragging
Universities and campus prepare their grave,
In the guise of education they put front brave,
Bur on ground of morality they cave in,
Line drawn clear but education thin,
Great fall in standard and knowledge lagging,
More efforts on fashion and thrust on ragging,
Many loose their lives on name of flogging,
It is blot or shame and prestige more dragging,
From a distance some movement I saw,
Senior hitting junior with his fist on jaw,
Not knowing what? Junior bowed and beg,
Saw I senior pouring liquor from peg,
All students shouted and danced with joy,
Entrant was unaware and cried like boy,
This was great fun as if playing with toy,
Humanity at loss and disgrace they enjoy,
Student suffered injury with eye lost,
Life became hell as faced humiliation most,
Blind he became with life at cost,
Protest, uproar, outcry still no penalty post,
Even females not by boys but girls spared,
Forced to remove cloths and honour not cared,
Parade them in open with body made bare,
Not shamed by self but make others aware,
There is race in campus to corner any miss,
Who will venture first for open kiss?
Such is scene and action so childish?
No steps being taken with argument foolish,
Poor boys and girls enter with high hope,
Bright carrier, idea golden all of sudden flop,
Some jump in water and few commit suicide,
How to face crime not been able to decide,
Inhuman act persist and still prevail,
No option open as how to education avail,
Who do we blame? Society or parent,
Weaknesses still remain as quality inherent,
Precious lives lost with strict laws present,
Zeal for study and respect remain absent,
Why these continue if there is consent?
Why no public opinion who always do resent?
Ragging should be banned with stringent action,
Punish guilty with heavy
Dare anybody in future must face complete ouster,
Dire with consequences and no escape from cluster,
Neither it is simple an act of joking,
Nor it is pleasure with act of smoking,
All we need is strict laws invoking,
Ban rude elements even need poking

Give me call
You give me simple call
You will not face any wall
I shall stand fast and save you from possible fall
Take it granted from me as gesture small
You have found world so much infested
Thoughts and ides not worth invested
It may prove as ground for testing
Seeding in deep but not worth harvesting
You may face problem at every corner
World may seem cruel to you as beginner
Still it has to be countered and faced bravely
Such opportunities you find very rarely
It is general call and must be responded
It is test of time and should not be avoided
One should care and respect the sentiments
It is not simple call but firm commitment
Strom may pass off and ease the situation
It may limp back to normal with continuation
Timely help may not be forgotten at all
It will be considered noble but not small
It is how relationship develops and grows
You may have to gear up to face the blows
Luck may not favour as time may run out
Victory may be turned into defeat with complete rout
Never leave friends in high and dry state
Don’t show discomfort and little sign of hate
It may impair and sour the relation
It may turn sordid with sign of negation
It is better to treat each relation at par
It should be maintained not stretched far
It may supplement and strengthen the bond
Friendship in life may look calm as water in pond

Its Own Kind
No one has breached that dark circle
No one has reached there without any struggle
A true way of life and years of meditation
Make you feel close to hi with profound indication
We have lived in double standard and are used to
In normal way we claim holy life bit in fact a lie and untruth
We pretend to be devotee and meant for social cause
The real life gets exposed when surface the scandals
There is no need to preach one thing and follow different
Accept whatever you are with human weakness and live in present
God may grant you access with full embrace
A divine glow may appear on your true face
When you have chosen simple way of living
There remains nothing else except believing
God is in each and every living thing
See and distinguish no difference between poor and king
One by one you may reach inner circle
Where there is seat and divine temporal
Where you may find only light and nothing else
For the whole life you were running after and making chase
The doors are open to all if that is the ultimate aim
Easy to live and easy to understand with no tall claim
Spend the life in services of mankind and poor
Spread the message of love from visiting door to door
Let people not be forced to believe what you think
Let them understand and write whatever they feel with ink
Nothing else may emerge as to what have been in their mind
'God is always there and everywhere' simple face of its own kind

Stand By Love
You know my heart beats rhythm and my dreams still take me higher
Ive travelled round the world but they cant cure my desire
The city looks pretty tonight
Hold on now lets go till morning
Get up on love and stand by me
Stand by love, stand by me
Im a shell shocked lover, under cover thats my game
Im your long lost brother, little sister whats your name
I feel so alone
Im stranded and so far from home Im calling
Get up on love and stand by me
Stand by love, and stand by me
Stand by love
Love - stand by love stand by me
Stand by love stand by me
Give me one good reason why you dont come play with fire
cos when the earth starts moving you know Im no liar
The city looks pretty tonight
Oh hold on now lets go till morning
Get up on love and stand by me
Stand by love, and stand by me
Stand by love stand by
Stand by love
Stand by love stand by me
Stand by love stand by me
Stand by love stand by me

Stand by love stand by love
Stand by love stand by love

Shower Some Pity
Oh God and almighty, Shower some pity
There lies eternal and divine beauty
I feel and want to be part of every moment
Whether it memorable or sad movement
So wonderful world to live in with blessings
Courageous stand when comes for facing
Not loosing faith for single second
Even if life is simple writing on sand
Each and every moment makes me feel closer
I never felt that I was any time looser
You were my guiding spirit and force
I had to cut never a sorry or to feel curse
As human I need be part of every move
But belief and faith need not be proved
I shall stick to imposition of divine vision
That shall stand every time to remove the confusion
What can’t be had if has desired?
Your every effort is appreciated and admired
You are dear sons and daughters
It is his duty to send you with laughter
Love to live any situation
Believe in grace with its continuation
If that has to be lived with means to be lived
The path carved out for us is to be simply believed
You may look back at the end and evaluate
Your mind will be firm and will never fluctuate
It will be happiness that had been all the times
You might have erred and disbelieved sometimes

The Yellow School Bus
The yellow school bus with the black wheels took sick children to school each day.
The yellow school bus with the black wheels was driven whether or not the sky was gray.
The yellow school bus with the black wheels went pass three streets and up a hill.
The yellow school bus with the black wheels was driven whether sunny or chilled.
The yellow school bus with the black wheels always brought a smile to little kids face.
The yellow school bus with the black wheels was filled with love and filled with grace.
The yellow school bus with the black wheels kept breathing until that final breath.
The yellow school bus with the black wheels was painted red with blood and death.
The yellow school bus with the black wheels and the little sick children were all of friends.
But the now dead children will never take a ride in the yellow school bus again.

Suicide- A great concern
Why person is pushed to end his life and depart?
Why such sad state of bankruptcy enters as part?
Is there no other way to deal with troubled situation?
It is equally possible to have felt fed up with its continuation
When you are driven to desperation and at brink of disaster?
You loose all sense of humor and forget even your mentor or master
No one is striking in your mind for easy solution
Not even close friends you remember for their contribution
What have we done to our children?
We don't allow them to go alone even
While taking examination we wait outside gate and supply chits
How can we expect children not to turn out to be cheats?
Where is the courage to face in crisis when thrust open?
Where the moral stand to be taken when left alone?
Driving in despair and loosing the patience?
Why always in hurry to end life with insistence?
We need someone very near to hear our woe
It will never push you to the wall or throw
You can be driven to some concrete and positive end
This is how the assistance cane be extended by relatives and friends
It is cowardice to end life due to some failure
We have not geared our children to feel secure
They are being provided with complete protective cover
They are not only down with courage but lost the confidence moreover
Many students end up the life for no reason
They have no ability to stand up like successful person
In life struggle they lack not only criteria but will too
This aspect is something very relevant and very true

Aim in life
We believe ourselves not to be preoccupied
This fact is always hidden and denied
On number of occasion we continue to hide the face
The life is loosing its charm and no one is able to trace
Life without any aim may be considered as rudderless
We can’t let the life pass on and feel powerless
I believe in exactness, clarity and cleanness
This can form the basis of worship and that can lead us to oneness
Life is like main flagship and to be anchored safely at the shore
It has to find out the options and new ways to explore
We are different kind of animals and need some guidance
You may set it right when opportunity is afforded at once
There is secret fear in the mankind to solve their problems
They may be ridden with worries and feet may crumble
Still they may rise and tackle it with whatever is in hand
This is the main weapon in their hand and shows it in the form of trend
Life is part of fate and part of freedom
It may not confine us to boredom
It is not the wisdom to run away from the scene
There may clear case of loss or win
Why do we chain ourselves in set norms?
Who stops you to think wise and perform?
Do we need fresh thinking with new set of reforms?
We must get ready and always stay well informed
The desire, appetite, ambition and illusion may deceive
It may attract us all the time and in turn receive
The idea is formed in the mind and get ready to set
It is right time to perform and not to forget
Would you like to be chained in cage?
Can your feelings be inscribed in page?
It is to be translated in words and action
You need worry for any set back or reaction
We are living in cosmic present
It has all draw backs and peace is absent
We believe in strong future with no past
We still have no desire for doubts to cast
Do we live senseless and surge ahead?
Is there strong possibility to lead?
Do we have any option to ask apology and plead?
Can we visualize our future and clearly read?
I discover past to realize the future
I may make it strong and very sure
I still have all the ills to cure
I may still go for it and ensure
