When you failed.....
When vision is blurred, you failed to see,
Movement restricted and world not free,
Whole world come to a grinding halt,
You seemed to think your actions are at fault,
There is straight principle which works silently,
Slight gain if you work and cheat conveniently,
Raise little to show you progress constantly,
Conscience not clear to show satisfaction instantly,
When success blinds and you see no further,
Take it as if you have lost vision together,
You may have vision but in fact blind,
Some force working from within and behind,
You may not like to see the reasons,
No change or alterations in seasons,
Only change if life style or thinking,
May push you forward in stage sinking,
Nothing will impress or deter,
No amount of persuasions alter,
You live in your own world,
Relations freeze as ice in cold,
You get beating at appropriate time,
You seemed to have everything as goal prime,
Suddenly it appears you are on decline,
Nothing goes well and out of line,
No one is obeying your command,
Unfair talks and unreasonable demand,
You are loosing grip and out of gear,
Unwanted things you are forced to hear,
This all leads to your imminent fall,
Powerful signals and immediate call,
Resist the temptation before it is too late,
Family may turn against and start to hate,
Nothing will go well at eleventh hour,
Flower may be there but without flavour,
All odds and nothing in favour,
No warmth in relation but completely sour
Success should not always blind,
Arrogance and pride should not bind,
Always compromise with nature mild,
Nature too mixing and approach kind

It was unfair
I knew from my heart that it was totally unfair
I still went ahead and did not care
Nothing was left inside the heart such as conscience
No improvement was made with the advancement of science
We still put so much stress on luck and live in primitive stage
We have not gained maturity with the passing of an age
Even blood relation gets strained and receives set back
Fine relations built over years get visible and apparent cracks
We have seen and observed considerable deterioration
Parent and children find no warmth or co- relation
Meeting with friends also create flutter and have no elation
Do we forget that same stage might come for us in rotation?
At any new adventure I do receive condemnation
Set backs come all of sudden from all direction and not in anticipation
It has something to do with unfriendly and unhealthy trend
I have to suffer more even if make good amend
It doesn’t require great skill and good effort
The performance at low level is unsatisfactory and falling short
Life may get boost if one makes sincere approach
He need not go to any school or employ expert coach
We needn’t copy or follow what others are doing?
Surrender to THY only who does all working
Why go aimlessly in search and fool around?
Think positive with all ideas and turn round
Peace may descend on earth with HIS mercy and blessings
Life may prove fruitful with correct thought without stressing
Inner soul search with deep and honest assessing
Success may sure be there even without guessing
I fear nobody and indulge in wrong process
Continuously I work in negative direction without any recess
I take it for granted that I may never leave this world
Give slip to every one and show no warmth with relations cold
I failed to understand the real mission
Had I not to go to His feet for humble submission?
I was pursuing different goal with no meaning
There was no scope for soul purge or cleaning
It is very important to lead life as human being
Person may either be very rich, powerful or king
He has no security for his life and remains mortal
Final you to face the end which is near total
It has to been seen from different angle
We live among civilized world and not in jungle
It has to have some thinking in this regard
You must go in without waiting for any reward

I Have a Vision
A vision like a dream
Living in a dreamy world
Like living in heaven
A place where we can't find here
Send forth our wishes
Every day I see myself in a mirror
Wishing a vision
Of my own vision
Having to have a vision
Blind to see my life mission
Walking into this sanction world
Without know why we are here
So I have a vision
To call God comes again
To save us from sin and
Ask His forgiveness, blessings and graces.

Clear the Stage
The world was; before mankind was born
and will be when the last mans gone
There will be no left to mourn.
Who will replace us still unknown
It seems that since the world began
Dame Nature tries experiments
the latest of which seems to be man
She has established precedents.
At one time reptiles ruled the earth.
at last ashamed of what she’d wrought.
Great behemoths of giant girth
She wiped them out without a thought.
She cleared the way to try again
With creatures more intelligent
the reptile’s loss the mammals gain.
This seemed to her to represent.
A forward leap towards her goal.
Although she waited patiently
She was convinced that on the whole
too little progress she could see.
She thought maybe that the monkeys
With just a little tinkering
could be persuaded from the trees
The monkeys proved to be willing.
Monkeys evolved slowly into men
and not quite as she meant they should...
Her well laid plans had failed again
At last Dame Nature understood.
Mankind was too belligerent.
Determined to go his own sweet way.
A little too intelligent
he saw no reason to obey.
the rules Dame Nature had laid down
Rebelled against them constantly.
Convinced that he should wear the crown
Until at last reluctantly.
She thought it time to call a halt.
Another failed experiment
some inbred genetic fault.
Rendered them obsolescent.
The human race had reached their peak
and stubbornly refused to change.
Considering themselves unique.
The time had come to re arrange.
the way they thought and urgently.
They’d had their chance but lost their way
Nature reacted ruthlessly
That’s why there are no men today.
The world is peaceful once again
Without the constant battling
between opposing bands of men.
There is no sabre rattling.
I have no doubt she’ll try again
Perhaps next time she’ll get it right
with some new race replacing men
Without the warlike appetite.
The world was before mankind was born
and will be when the last man has gone
their wilfulness not to be borne.
the fault was theirs and theirs alone.
Dame nature warned them frequently
Her warnings they chose to ignore
So full of pride they could not see
That it was time to pay the score.
Extinction is the penalty
which failed experiments must pay.
This is the harsh reality
The race of man has had its day.

Success Story
Does success blind the man completely?
Not wait and go for its show immediately?
If he is earthly man then will slowly digest,
Means and ways set first and then suggest,
Only clever and seasoned will be enjoying,
All of sudden success may lead to annoying,
Way of living may bring tremendous change,
Confidence enhanced and disorderly manage,
Somebody may diversify to honouable living,
Purchase of luxurious cars and self driving, ,
Honest may prefer and turn to charity reviving,
Rest may go for sight seeing and sea diving,
It brings dramatic change in way of thinking,
Sudden urge and change some time lead to sinking,
Arrogance and power blind a person,
As sudden change you may find with season,
You look towards fellow brothers as inferior creature,
Their hello and address bite you as vulture,
You feel their company danger for future,
Ill feeling and distrust in mind nurture,
This all takes away from main stream,
Success story makes you to believe as dream,
You feel as if you had God given chance,
Forget the past and visit the club for dance,
Drink, drug and smacks are natural ally,
Money in hand doesn’t look silly,
Pushed to the dark as time go on,
No way to come back, not even soon,
It will be nightmare or bad dream,
Success may blind but not allow to scream,
You will be completely cut off from friends,
Down to earth when success story ends
Success has another story to tell,
People have learnt how to remain well,
Act as humble and good ideas sell,
Where does then bad or descend the hell

I said Don’t Tell Me
Don’t tell me of a world of masterful politicians
Don’t tell me of a world of embattled coalitions
Don’t tell me of a world of the spin doctors slurs
Cannot perceive the blindness as the vision blurs
Don’t tell me of a world of the dominance in hate
Don’t tell me of a world in riches for who last ate
Don’t tell me of a world of trades in bloodied furs
Cannot perceive the blindness as the vision blurs
Do tell me of a world where a heart seeks allures
Do tell me of a world for when tranquillity conquers
Do tell me of a world empowered as rebellion stirs
Cannot perceive the blindness as the vision blurs
Don’t tell me of a world of violent augmentation
Don’t tell me of a world in servitude of aggression
Don’t tell me of a world of pennies before the cures
Cannot perceive the blindness as the vision blurs
Don’t tell me of a world of the lost and the listless
Don’t tell me of a world of a dying disciple so lifeless
Don’t tell me of a world infested by human aggressors
Cannot perceive the blindness as the vision blurs
Do tell me of a world that the politician fought for freedom
Do tell me of a world where we dropp the food not the bomb
Do tell me of a world when making love new life occurs
Cannot perceive the blindness as the vision blurs
Do tell me of a world for grain that fed the thousand starving
Do tell me of a world when a day broke in a child’s laughing
Do tell me of a world where I can drink from purest streams
I can start to perceive though to only make sense in dreams

The road to success
The Road to Success
We all want to walk on the road of success
But do you day by day measure your progress
Do you have a vision?
Do you have a mission?
You need one even if it is inspired by television
We all want to walk on the road of success
But do you day by day measure your progress
Critically look at your personal development
Grizzle over the final accomplishment
Decide on the instruments you need at the moment?
On its road, there are many paths to take
With many sacrifices along the way to make
Patience, faith and hard work, please don’t forsake
Or your dreams will pour empty into a wide lake
We all want to walk on the road of success
But do you day by day measure your progress
Is your vision greater than greatness?
You are the first one you must try to impress
Take a step at a time and do not digress
For success when achieved, I say without sarcasm
Is more gratifying than any orgasm

Change The World
(hendrix, parrish, pilson)
If we could change the world
It wouldnt change their minds
We could turn back to good
But we cant turn back time
Weve got to show them all
A world thats filled with hate and greed
Wont last for very long
Its love that we all need
Weve got to change the world now
Before we run out of time
Weve got to change the world
But we mst learn to walk
Before we learn to fly
Weve been through this before
About a million times
You cant turn back to ice
There is no compromise
Weve got to change the world now
Before we run out of time
Weve got to change to the world
But we must learn to walk
Before we learn to fly
1991 marked the year of the end of the era of communism in the soviet union.
The voices of the people were heard
The berlin wall was brought down
The people made the change
We can change the world
Weve got to change the world now
Before we run out of time
Weve got to change the world
But we must learn to walk
Before we learn to fly
If we could change the world
If we could change the world
(repeat)

Living as blind
Beliefs and faiths are mist
That blurred my vision
At the dawn of my life.
Beliefs and faiths are the dust
That blurred my vision
At the dusk of my life.
In between I shut myself
Against the heat of the world.
Who ever lived without regrets
That he had been as much blind?

Desire For Success
It's only a start
To reach for your desire's that will set you apart
Just like a thirst
Will never be satisfied even if clouds burst
It's the hunger
That will keep your vision clearer
In life desire for success
Can be a moment to progress
All your aspirations
With the right desire can deepen
Make wish
Before this life is finished
Your desire to change the world
Must inspire everyone
Even if it feels like a fantasy
You should never take it lightly
As some desires you need keep on desiring
It's so amazing to feel
It can't be for real
Just express yourself
There is nothing wrong to Desire for Success

Our future may lie beyond our vision, but it is not completely beyond our control. It is the shaping impulse of America that neither fate nor nature nor the irresistible tides of history, but the work of our own hands, matched to reason and principle, that will determine our destiny. There is pride in that, even arrogance, but there is also experience and truth. In any event, it is the only way we can live.

Individual
I love to read,
Always on for front to lead,
Never to fall back as columns I head,
Success definitely there when not singles dead,
What makes an individual to rise?
Despite reversals mild and wise,
Act not in haste but move precise,
In critical condition vote exercise,
Not compulsion alone force the individual,
Slow to meet challenge and approach casual,
Not to make fast decision when face edge dual,
Not to appear in public but show on the annual,
Continuity is must in facing the challenge,
Sprit high is must to seek the avenge,
Not reprisal or to seek the revenge,
Seeking for just adjustment and new change,
Ready to move with utmost care,
Sign of preparedness and resolve to fare,
Some where is point to sight the goal,
Even diamond can be found from black coal,
Beautiful body with no soul and mind,
How can you search new direction and find?
Imminent fall when walking against wind,
Expecting from criminals words very kind,
It is very simple way to inform,
Always ready to seek reforms,
Not to adopt path of collusion,
Clear sight, vision and no illusion,

Essential ingradient
No one has fallen especially from sky
This question is pertinently asked and why
Why some of the skinned people are targeted
They are in all walks of life and eminently spotted
To struggle for life is essential ingredient
No one can remain lethargic or silent
To some one it may come easily
But opportunities are available equally
Let us pray almighty for bringing us on earth
The stark reality of life is imminent death
It spares no one and protects none
Let us live the life like everyone
No one can be specially attributed to
It is not proper and equally true
Dedication and hardship has no parallel
Only people excel and come off well
Thank always to the proud origin
There is no scope for any margin
They did all sacrifices for us to bring up
They are our milestones and live hope
All races are of mixed origin and intact
This has been proved right in fact
If one feels proud of what they are
Any illusion may stay always far
White color reflects the rays
Black color absorbs and shows the ways
This is how black people are tolerant
Whites intolerant with weakness inherent
The land to which they belong is most sacred
The powerful mission is to fall in line and lead
No one can claim the belonging to the land
No one foe here and all are one and friends
When nature does not discriminate
How can we show indignation and indicate?
It can not be anybody’s fate
The fortune some times may favor late
The land belongs to us all
We are all here to respond the call
Let us not weaken the cause
With no let up in efforts or pause
Sun shines for all without favor
All flowers offer same flavor
Nature to come in time and go
We are here as human beings to forgo
We have witnessed human ghettos
We all know what was reason or motto?
Let us build race less world
Where relations are warm and not cold
We may face the annihilation
If not maintained proper relation
Not a mention in history may help
It will be merely a blot or slap
The day is not far off when world may realize the fact
The time has now come to work united and act
We are merely powerful tools in the hands of God
Let us not weaken the sprit and words of Lord

Thirteen Lines
A brain peered through stoic eyes;
Yet all it saw was rendered into
Flawed interpretation –
No honoured contemplation of a
Gluon, muon, quark of any flavour;
Nor a vision or conception of its world
Within a universe anthropic in its physical laws,
Inside a boundless multiverse.
All it gleaned and modelled
Bore parochialism well beyond belief! –
Delusional perhaps.
Survival only matters here on planet Earth –
Evolution saw to that.

Dreamin under stars above
Meanwhile push comes to shove
Around the world.
Leaders fall, leaders rise
Terror wears a thin disguise
Not much room for compromise

Surfers from seven seas
Sharing with the submarines
Experts count war machines
Around the world.
People sweat in planted fields
Students study what is real
Someone builds a laser shield
Around the world.

Youre sure looking good tonight!
Whered you pick that up anyway?

A welcome change
How come nature doesn’t change?
Why writings remain same on page?
Some excuses are found to adjust
Does it require or is must?
Nature too changes with arrival of seasons
It has various implications or reasons
Nature can’t remain static for so many causes
It has to offer so many things and can’t pause
It comes back to its original position when change is over
It readies to accept heavy showers when clouds hover
The energy level is in spate and so much eagerness to welcome
This is acceptable phenomena and in any case has to come
If we adopt the same theory and adjust for good
Then it will have nice combination to come out of wood
Timely change and adjustment may help you to overcome
All the difficulties that may be waiting to come
Any welcome change is never resented
You may find it with favor and consented
It is the way you find it nicely presented
It may end your thrust as you have for long waited
Things may not turn out as per your wishes
You will have to give enough thrust with fine finish
It may turn out to be grand success
You will find it easy to stand and face
You need to adopt change for the bad
It may bring you unhappiness and will make you sad
You won’t be able to digest the failure
You may go with half heart and will never be sure
You will be known as great opportunist
Your future will be shrouded in mystery and lost in mist
The haze and dark clouds may shadow you till the end
The known foes may show false sympathy to prove as friends
If you are expert in turning the table against odds
Then it may save you from possible frauds
You will have enough strategy to counter it to your advantage
You may at par with excellence and have clear edge
Nature has its own role to play and so the human being
All efforts will have to be put for possible changes to bring
Some flexibility may be permitted here and there
It may enhance your capability to land safely somewhere
So the nature as the man and resultant will be result
Possible ways out as you constantly monitor and consult
The change may be expected but with reason and logic
Melody can emerge only when tuned with good music

The Way It Is
My father told me
Son, it's OK to have ideals,
but beliefs against your government well that won't pay your bills.
You can raise your fists and publicly resist
but in the end corruption still exists.
(Chorus)
And no protest song will ever change the world.
When everybody does exactly as they're told.
In the end every man works for what is his.
You can fight the world, but that's just how it is
You're words are not meaningless to me,
I feel their honesty but it's my life that I gotta figure out for me.
It's what I've always done, not what I have become
and I know the consequences that will come.
And if I never reach the world or speak to people's souls
it's a passion that will not die as I grow old.
It's what I choose to do
it may not work for you but to myself I know I must be true.
(Chorus)
And no protest song will ever change the world.
When everybody does exactly as they're told.
In the end every man works for what is his.
You can fight the world, but that's just how it is
I am not ashamed to stand right where I've stood.
My beliefs they are unchanged because I believe they should.
And I'll measure my success one word at a time.
If the truth is spoken will I stand the test of time.

And Suddenly The World Goes Dark
to Simoncelli
The night lost its star
And suddenly the world goes dark
The light turns out to dim
And I barely see the clear sight
The life without you
And suddenly the world goes blind
Where did you go from this way
And what you left behind
The love lost its warmth
And suddenly the world goes cold
Did the wind blow too strong
Or did I forget to take my breath
The face without smile
And suddenly the world goes hard
I could only feel bitterness
And the cry of sorrow screaming inside

Return To Nature
Suppose I am one who has a big ego I did have big plans once I do recall
But egos are a thing that inspire in us the need for success and are part of human nature after all
And now that my ego is a bit deflated and others I don't feel need to impress
Something perhaps that came with the realization that my life never has been a success.
Still I am one who finds solace in Nature and Nature the only God of which I know
I've always marvelled at her strength and beauty and still my admiration for her only grow
I had a church God when I was years younger but I gave my unseen church God away
And I returned again to Mother Nature and in her bosom I will rest one day.
The free born birds that sing in Nature's garden each species is distinctive by their song
And the fox that hunts for rabbits in the paddocks these creatures all to Nature's World belong
And the wedge tailed eagle soaring in the calm sky a very large and fearless bird of prey
Too is a part of Mother Nature's World and in Nature's bosom this bird's bones too will lay.
The swallows fly to warm climes in Winter and return home to greet the warmth of Spring
And chase insects o'er the valley where they first saw daylight and as they fly one hear them chirp and sing
How they can find their way to a far Country in late Fall and in the Spring find their way home again
Is something for which scientists can offer theories yet somehow seems beyond them to explain.
The World is quieter in Mother Nature's World for man made noise to Nature doesn't belong
On sunlit tree beside the rippling waters the thrush in Spring is singing all day long
And Nature she presides o'er all her Seasons and she has seen so many Seasons come and go
Her flowers of Spring and Summer and her brown leaves of Autumn and her hills of Winter wear white hats of snow.
I do not worship false Gods any longer and I returned to Nature years ago
And though Mother Nature has so much to teach us so little about her I seem to know
Yet I feel happy to walk in her garden and along the bank of her quiet water way
'Twas an act of Nature brought me to this World and I'll return to her bosom one day.

A Inspired Interest To Fulfil Desire!
Power, position, possession are precious for joy, rapture, satisfaction;
Inspiration and interest urge one to take any risk against dangers
To fulfil desire in achieving and acquiring precious things in life!
But who and what give inspiration to have aspiration for progress?
Nature, literature, history, politics and movie inspire many men!
Beauty of Nature, Birds, fish, literary characters, historical leaders,
Charismatic politicians, matinee idols and heroes inspire people!
Inspiration kindles to learn knowledge of all to become intellectuals;
Vision of deep learning helps to have ambition to achieve great things;
For, ambition is the great driving force that drives man of success!
Concentration and intelligent efforts should be directly towards the goal
When inspiration, interest and desire join hand on a mission in hand!
Even a slight sluggishness diversifies mind, bifurcates the route to hell;
So, to fulfil wish one’s aim, ambition and goal should be to the bull’s eye!
