Work hard
It is never according to their wishes
You got to work hard and finish
Who are they to judge your ambition?
It is your wish only and ruled out of question
Love what you like to do
Whether it is wrong or true
Time may teach you the lesson
It should not be worry of any person
We take care of others not at our cost
This aspect is essential and most
They are not our masters to shape destiny
It should never be concern of many
But all good things are said and not done
Their opinion and advices are by gone
If you are flexible and shaky in mind
You will be termed as unreasonable and blind
Nothing matters except your own decision
You must take it to the best possible with precision
You can have little insight from friends
But ultimately it will be your judgment at the end

No Relevance
You are Special. Believe it or not
But why things are unnecessarily fought
Once it has got no relevance
And almost with nil importance
Why is it that you worry on other lines?
When they can be pushed to sidelines
When something can not deliver good?
We should throw it away as junk food
What even if you called a failure?
How their help can make you to cure?
It is useless to spend energy on simple gossip
When it is needed to issue appeal or whip
Let them see anything in you and comment
You have set goal with movement
You are master of your own destiny
Leave aside all worries and work with only harmony
You are single and have personal identity
This should be considered as precious quality
One needs to harness and surge ahead
It may only provide you clear lead
It is nice if you can think about
Take pain to listen to somebody’s shouts
But ultimate decision is taken by you
And this only will take you through
At the time if taking crucial decision
Your opinion must be prevailed with precision
At no stage it must be hindered with confusion
As it is crystal to you and not based on any illusion

My Way Or The Highway...
Should I start this song off with a question?
Or should I say what's on my mind.
(Add a cello here to add a sad impression)
Cause I'm not looking forward to leaving my friends all behind.
I didn't vote (though I'm not proud),
cause I'm Canadian, and I'm not allowed.
Give it a go or throw in the towel.
Stand all alone or swim through the crowd.
No one around to help you decide.
It's time to make up your mind.
It's time to make up your mind.
Chours:
By the wayside we fell.
He said, "It's my way or the highway to hell."
It's your decision, choose it well.
He said, "It's my way or the highway to hell."
(repeat)
Decisions we make; life's an election.
Precision we take, seeking direction.
But there's so many lies.
Unsure where we can look.
But, we've got a guide-a really thick handbook.
No one around to help you decide
It's time to make up your mind.
It's time to make up your mind.
Chorus
Are you with me or against me?
Noticed you're sitting on the fence.
We wondered why you're not cut and dry.
You got to choose our side and live,
or their side and die.
Which hand holds your soul?
Do you want to guess one?
If that scares you to death, may that be your lesson.
It's your decision, make it the best one.
And should I end this song off with a question?

Hard To Open Up Without Being Judged
saying what i feel is hard to do,
i don't open up much,
what's the point?
theonly personwho gets to judge,
is me!
other people don't need to know,
what i'm going through,
plus more,
so why do i need to open up?
to say what's on my mind,
when the only judge is me?
wouldn't you say?
it's wrong to judge a person,
you know nothing about,
just to find,
nothing you said,
never seemed to be true?
could this be why?
saying what's on my mind is hard?
because people like to pick out,
everything that don't expain,
who you are and everything you can be?
wouldn't it be time,
to stop judging people for,
who they are on the outside,
and just look within,
where all of the true beauty is?

A mental injury
I never wanted to cause any mental injury
I was capable of judging event as jury
It could have created adverse impact on mind
As true lover I was in position to find
It was never intended to harm
I was in opinion of keeping relation warm
Still there was come circumstantial compulsion
The straight answer was ruled out of question
I used to maintain calm posture
It was adding to the confidence for sure
It is said that one should be very much assertive
That makes him to think and act positive
I kept this slogan in mind
The suggestion meant to be very kind
It was way out for future course
Else it might have resulted in possible curse
It send wrong signal when actually not needed
The advice sometime falls on deaf ears and not heeded
It is misfortune that corrective steps are not contemplated
The complex situation is created even though was unrelated
It helps a lot if you resort to mild smile
The tension is removed for sure meanwhile
Your opponent may be forced to think differently
The visible anger is removed and seen apparently
I took full care to see that she was not placed in trouble
I realized that love was momentary like water bubble
It was pure body love and infatuation
The likelihood of its failure was emerging as situation
It might cause lots of problem and awkward scene
I realized the consequences and worry was seen
I did not want it to happen to her as good friend
Even though it was likely that relation may end
I was not comfortable either to sense
It was out of tune and complete nonsense
I truly believed in equal response with respect
I felt it was inappropriate on her part to act
She did force for quick response with no planning
It was just a first at sight and a new beginning
Though I loved her equally and wanted to go far
It seemed to me an improbability to become star
No doubt she might gone out of way
Had shown me bright hope with golden ray
Still I felt it unreasonable to involve in fray
A person that was likely to force her to stay away
I consider myself as tough person
I don’t what may be the solid reason
But inner voice sometimes compel me to think
This is right omen for a person before he chooses to sink

What is a Friend?
True friends will never let each other down
True friends will tell each other when they are right or wrong
True friends listen to their problems without casting judgment
True friends are never afraid to tell you like it is
A true friend knows when to say no
A true friend will never flop you
A true friend will be supportive of all you do
A true friend will be there to dry your weeping eyes
A true friend will lend a shoulder for you to cry on
A true friend cares how you are doing
A true friend cares about your day-to-day life
A true friend always calls and checks up on you
A true friend gives of himself/herself without asking for anything in return
A true friend would not lend you money but give you whatever they can
A true friend may argue, fuss, and fight with you but will always be there for you
A true friend forgives you for your shortcomings
A true friend will come to your aid no matter what time of day it is
A true friend doesn’t wait to hear from you to make the first call
A true friend just calls to chitchat with you
A true friend is like a Godsend in times of perils
A true friend is always welcoming
A true would give you the coat off their backs
A true friend knows enough is enough
A true friend will be by your side when you need them the most
A true friend will run an intercept or blockage for you
True friends will CYA for each other
True friends knows that this world wasn’t promised to us
True friends make the best of a bad situation
True friends keeps each others secretes
True friends keeps no secretes from one another
True friends share each other’s lives
A true friend is forever
Are you a true friend?
Ask yourself that question
Can you be a true friend?
Do you deserve a good friend?
There are no goodbyes in life, just hellos
Hello friend

What Is Love?
what am i getting myself into?
i settle for less,
rather than being the best,
cuz i belive i'm not good enough,
for the person i am with,
what is good enough?
i play it safe so i won't get hurt,
but it happens anyways,
i guess you can't plan it out,
like i would like,
if love was that easy,
we all would exprience it,
but love is hard,
and sometimes blind,
love should not hurt,
in any shape or form,
would you call it love?
nobody perfect,
you only get one chance,
so don't waste it,
cuz love doesn't judge,
it accepts everything about you.

Idea Of A Real Leader
Leadership is not an easy position
Many have the power but do not have the right ambition.
Somehow they fell into the job,
But no knowledge, strength or missing the right heart throb.
The real leader have to know how the work goes on,
Possibly went through all or many positions under the sun.
Must have an understanding what is possible
Not just ignore the worker & ask the impossible.
He/she must be strong but kind & flexible in that same time,
Understanding what can be done, not to get into grime.
Slow to anger or not at all with strong emotion,
Be able to see the other person's side,
Without falling into wrong conclusion.
Check yourself are you a mouse or a dictator?
Open your mind for more wisdom, be a good mentor,
That your people would love and ready to follow your lead,
Never be hated, ignored or feared for all your deed.

As I Was Told
As I was told,
When I was not to old
About wisdom in many thoughts.
Always to look both ways,
Never from home do I stray
And always, release what I have caught.
But then I got older
Once again much bolder
And my parents gave me more advice.
Never anyone do I judge
Try never to hold a grudge
And always forgive, at least twice.
Then when they talked about money
And though, I thought it was funny
But never loan it too family and or friends.
As if I do make that mistake
That worry alone I must take
So never do I borrow, or do I lend.
Now when it was my time to teach
All though my son said preach
The lessons that I was taught.
In this world that he does travel
I don't want his world to unravel
From the things that he seek or sought.
But then one lesson I did learn
From which I had been burned
One that kept me in emotional danger.
So to my son this I will say
Work hard and be righteous everyday
And for work, always hire a stranger.
So there are lessons to be learned
To keep you from being burnt
When you walk down life's bumpy road.
Some will be given by your mother
And some given from many others,
But learn them all, as I have been told.

What Makes You Happy
But dont worry, mom, I met him in a restaurant
And all this time Ive been getting to know him
Hes got an ex-wife in pasadena
And sometimes shes a mess to deal with
But mostly weve been living here uninjured
Theres a silence, and she says:
Listen here young lady
All that matter is what makes you happy
But you leave this house knowing my opinion
Wont make you love me if you dont care to.
But mom, Im sending you this photograph,
I swear this one is going to last
And all those other bastards were only practice
I feel the sun on my back
I smell the earth in my skin
I see the sky above me like a full recovery
Listen here young lady
All that matters is what makes you happy
But you leave this house knowing my opinion
Wont make you love me if you dont care.
Listen here young lady
All that matters is what makes you happy
But you leave this house knowing my opinion
Wont make a difference if youre not ready
Listen here young lady
All that matters is what makes you happy
But you leave this house knowing my opinion
Wont make you love me if you dont care.
Listen here young lady
All that matters is what makes you happy
But you leave this house knowing my opinion
Wont make you love me if you dont care.
Make you love me if you dont care

Masters Of Illusion
Love is a wonderful form of self-delusion, a
game anyone can play with a willing team-
mate on the basis of an illusionary ideal of
affection that can be filled to perfection by
anyone interesting, relying on chemistry
and shared interests
We are all able to become masters of illusion-
but the only authentic question is do you love
yourself, do you enjoy your own company - if
your answer is NO, you are guaranteed that
no love relations will work for you, you need
the loved one to pick you up
Keep you amused and entertained all the time,
should the beloved become too weak to take
care of your needs, your love will flee as it is
based on a loving slave combination; only
those who are happy in themselves and
can share their general well-being
With another happy person, stand a chance of
long-lasting love relationships in which partners
remain relatively independent; if anyone wants
to leave, it is never the end for the one who
stays behind – given this paradigm; it is no
wonder that there is almost no chance
That love will last, in our culture love is seen as
a selfish concern – the beautiful, adored person
must conjure happiness out of a hat, only true
magicians are acceptable as life partners –
a normal human being is never enough!

If there's any message to my work, it is ultimately that it's OK to be different, that it's good to be different, that we should question ourselves before we pass judgment on someone who looks different, behaves different, talks different, is a different color.

Not as per promise
He did not turn up as per promise
I knew well in advance that he may surely miss
I still wanted to make it sure for healthy relation
Some how I had bad inkling with no sound indication
He seemed to me as a disgruntled man
Some of his utterances were not good for woman
He disrespected woman in many regards
I was making up my mind not to go in and move forward
I took a calculated risk to give him fair chance
Bluffed him that I have decided to desert home at once
I would be meeting him at an appointed hour
We would then be leaving for unknown destination as tour
He could not decline further as this was going to be crucial
Neither his excuses were favoring nor his weak denial
I waited for him to prove his trustworthiness and reliability
It was rightly going to prove his sincerity and capability
It struck my mind what would happen if he turns out wrong?
I shall have to reconsider my opinion and certainly to go along
It was half given chance to weigh the decision in favor or against
I was not to loose anything as it was solely done on my behest
How easily the relation turn sour if no proper thought is given?
How the girls find themselves in helpless position if stupidly driven?
The tender age does not give them enough chance to think right
They are easily subdued and persuaded not to put resistance and fight
It is good to know a person or girl before entering into alliance
Both can have enough of time to think for expecting any reliance
It definitely gives some indication how far they can go ahead
Whether it will right for them to have nice life to be lead
Not all the bonds result into failure
Some of there are secured and very sure
It is total commitment for the long relation
Something unexpected is ruled out of question
Not all the moves can be suspected
The relation as such must be respected
You will not know a person even if reasonable time is spent
The deception and desertion at any level make anybody totally silent
I learnt a lesson not to trust blindly
It has to be looked from right angle and kindly
It is possible that you are simply lead into believe
The factual things may be different even if you disbelieve

The Heckler
Through the door it slithers in,
Accompanied by its peers.
Always groveling for attention,
While no one really hears.
In its mind it's full of wit
And quite the social king.
It plants itself among the rest,
to give its deadly sting.
It's just a matter of opinion.
Further now there's a man of taste.
Of talent and precision.
To work and strive at his artform.
Has been his life's decision.
The stage is set. The perfect show
Is put before the mass.
Only to be ridiculed
by some slimy, pompous ass.
It's just a matter of opinion

My daughter
I called my daughter to be near bed side
She was awake whole night and eyes remained wide
She had no full sleep and that was cause of concern
Everybody felt badly in family as it was completely unexpected turn
She had baby boy with abnormality at birth
Everybody prayed for his good health
The things were not proving to be happy
It was leaving behind source of concern and worry
Why doctor had told something unusual?
Was his arrival on this earth not normal?
We were taken by surprise and almost broke
It was cruel blessings and ugly joke
I trust almighty and believe in his judgment
There may be good sign later on and no cause to resent
Yet it left deep scar on our mind for helpless child
He was paralyzed from body and partially blind
“Dear, do you trust in his power and have faith”
I gave her some solace and explained philosophy of death
We are here on this beautiful land for delivering the good
This must be borne in mind and clearly understood
“Whether certain things we like or not”
I added some thing more to be taught
She listened carefully and replied at once
“Dad, worry not this is reality and a given chance”
I stared at her face and thought of her philosophy
How strong faith she had in the power of almighty!
I was cutting sorry figure and here was daughter
A strong philosopher and dedicated mother
“Dad, do you know what happens after death”?
I was sinking in ocean of uncertainty on earth
She was adding further but I remained deep in thoughts
What a blissful changes she had or were brought?
It is rightly said that river finds her way in any case
No blockade can prevent her from rushing with chase
She has to meet her destiny in determined phase
There may be on the path sometimes smooth or hard ways

Put initial
It is natural to find some change
Even if you don’t, it comes with the age
Some of the childish features disappear
Fatigue and isolation make body to wear
If you to adopt to change and content
It will be one of the biggest moment
That may make you to feel nice and good
Just another milestone with tonic and food
Some of the individuals still stick to old pattern
They go on leading the life with no concern
Keep all the times so deep with unrelated matters
Regret it long in life with passage of time or later
We may seek salvation with spiritual touch
This angle has never striking force as such
It may thrust only when some tragedies struck
The life concept is changed over night with bad luck
A person is awakened with total transformation
He has new equations with some of the new relations
The life is seen with logical and solid reasons
He hollowness has struck to mind as happens with seasons
There is strong contentment drive with appeal within
Nothing is weighed in terms of loss or win
Man is driven away from worldly pleasures
All good steps are taken and self confidence is assured
It is like stability of river water
How it calms down after spate later?
So much destruction or havoc is caused?
Yet it has brought some peace when paused
Life is as such comes to some changes at later stage
Person can rewrite his aim in new page
For rigid and aimless persons, it is all same
They have only to regret later and blame
Gold also helps to those who want to transform
Pardon for all sins and give enough time to reform
This is most needed aspect of the life and is considered essential
Person himself has to design destiny and put initial

For The Want Of Time
I never excuse for the want of time
Even though it may very important and prime
I love some of my friends and relatives
As they are close and very subjective
I may never find time in whole life
As husband has no spare time for wife
Yet something is to be talked about
Else you face the possible rout
How can I say you keep off?
How can I that rude and rough?
Everybody is built of some fine stuff
No amount of arguments can help not even bluff
I know only mortals may remain
I may prefer to be excluded in my domain
But at what cost I enjoy the fame?
What is there good in the name?
Do we thing work may end so soon?
The sun may not have afternoon
The evening may not set in
The birds may not return and sing
I am apologetic to those friends
Do not take it to illogical end
It may be ridicule to end in clever manner
Yet the fact may be known sooner
I would love rather to hear you gently
Those words not heard before silently
How long I may have to face dry spell?
Nothing at present seems going well
I would never question brilliant face off
I have no strength to argue or scoff
Yet it pains from within not to press
Instead prefer isolation and dearly miss
No one may have time to care for
No one may even prefer to be very sure
As it will not take them to reality
Because they want to maintain good quality
I would love to talk at length
With any one who cares and match with strength
It is not the intelligence that matters most
The relation is pushed aside and remains frost
It is very hard to go on for sentiments
You may have sugar coated comments
That may not cut much deep with the ice
As it does not really match with the promises
I hope relations are weighed in any terms
It adds to some worry and concerns
Nothing goes off well with nice duration
It gives room for deterioration with some indication
I end up by saying welcome all
I regret saying it without any standard fall
I love all despite my tight schedule
I want it to be durable and ideal module
I may perish along with my brethren
It may then be smooth and happy turn
I shall bid good bye despite having no time
I shall regret only “No time” but as no crime
