A Point of View Expressed

Mellowed in a way no one would guess...
That stress, conflicts and disappointments met.
And beating unflavorable odds,
To squash surmounting tests.
Perhaps this is how an arrogance evolves...
To give the impression,
A point of view expressed...
Is the only one that is best!

Blessed and gifted,
With the right mix that blends...
A tempered outlook,
To defeat those challenges that begin.
With a struggle to survive,
Seemingly without end...
For them who thrive,
To keep a purpose inside alive!

Some ignore opportunities as chores,
And turn their backs away...
Instead of examining,
What is behind each door.
Frightened to respond to knocks...
And the meaning and purpose,
Goes for them once again...
Unexplored and stops.
Believing those who find their treasures...
Do it without frustrations,
And/or heartbreak to endure!
With nothing else to do,
But to review their stock!
In a contentment,
Which upon them dropped.

Not true say those...
Who have heard this before!
With bruises to show,
But choose to ignore!

I Want to Know

There is too much I can not ignore.
Too much beyond my open door,
I explore to have those unknowns shown.

I can not sit...
Just to imagine what exists.
Or to hear from others...
From their point of view.
As they experience what it is,
I too wish to do!

There is too much I can not ignore.
Too much beyond my open door,
I explore to have those unknowns shown.
And my mind will not leave me alone...
Until my curiosity satisfies that quest in me.

There is too much I can not ignore.
Too much beyond my open door,
I explore to have those unknowns shown.
I want to know...
More of this life God has gifted.
I want to know...
And not inflict upon myself limits!

I Have To Sneeze

Just a second.
I have to snee...
Well,
Maybe not.

You chose to dismiss those competent.
And those competent have chosen now,
To ignore you.
Sounds like a mutual exchange.
But with a conflicting point of view.

You selected those you liked,
To represent your causes and way of life.
Inspite of their having any knowledge...
Or influence over others,
To solicit an excitement.

Nor could they think their way,
Out of a paper bag.
But they looked good dressed in their Sunday best.
And as long as they impressed,
This made you glad.

And now today,
Since your situations appear exceedingly sad...
You wish to be represented by a competence.
But those you did not choose,
You believed...
Expressed an arrogance.

And even though they displayed a common sense,
You turned them away.
Dismissing them to worship ignorance.
To do as you please.
One moment...
Again I believe,
I have to sneeze.

LOLOLOLOLOL

I apologize.
Who knew I would have that reaction?

You chose to dismiss those competent.
And those competent have chosen now,
To ignore you.
Sounds like a mutual exchange.
But with a conflicting point of view.

Ahh-Choo!
There it is.
I knew it was coming,
Eventually!

There Is A Purpose And Meaning

No one is obligated,
To shoulder another's burden.
Or protect them,
From a misinterpreted view of life.

We all are presented with challenges.
And beset with missions to accomplish.

There is a purpose and meaning,
For being who we are!
No one here has been created,
To do as they please and leave.

Our experiences should teach us that.
But many do not mature to achieve clarity.
Although seeking to be understood,
Seems to be a goal some choose...
To refuse a reality they have been specifically given!

There is a purpose and meaning,
For being who we are!
No one is obligated,
To shoulder another's burden.
Or be shown an escape route,
To glorify their pleasures!

Fresh Entrances

I am trying to find a way to restart.
Somewhere to begin to say
What is in my heart,
Right now.

Before what's in it now...
Snuggles deeper inside with the other,
Excuses made.
Seeking to reintroduce,
A redefined dignity.

While attempting to find a place comfortable,
To stay and hide disappointments lived!

I am trying to find a way to restart.
I can choose any way to begin.

But I am examining fresh entrances...
To boost a few butts to move.

Sonnet: Ignore The worldly Man

Ignore the man who goes after the money;
Ignore the man who is after power;
The former looses soon life’s harmony;
The latter turns akin an earth-mover!

Ignore the man who goes after sheer name;
Ignore the man who is after status;
The former ends up in ultimate shame;
The latter suffers the common-man’s curse.

Ignore the man whose heart has selfishness;
Ignore the man with sadistic display;
The former will soon show his uselessness;
The latter cannot go long in this way.

Ignore the man who loves not his neighbor;
God will not love him despite all labor!

(Heart Still) Shatters

Lie about feeling small
Low about standing up ever tall
For there's nothing like a brawl
Guess heart still shatters to crawl

Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to crawl
Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to crawl

For I'm not feeling whole
Only now I don't know wish to crawl
Denial of the love being ever minimal
Guess heart still shatters to crawl

Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to crawl
Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to crawl

Never wanted you to ignore this plea
Even no golden marquee
Every day passes not feeling free
Guess heart still shatters to see

Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to see
Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to see

Letting me forget priority
A memory passes over recently
So hurt now but so easily
Guess heart still shatters to see

Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to see
Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to see

But now I struggle to even adore
A hope goes out open doors
Left feeling like that of sore
Guess heart still shatters to ignore

Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to ignore
Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to ignore

For unsure what's in store
May leave me feeling unsure
Here life isn't yet pure
Guess heart still shatters to ignore

Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to ignore
Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to ignore

The Balancing Of Sanity

There was a time,
When I would lay with mind awake...
And eyes open to contemplate,
My favorite seasons.
And with each one...
I would review what I had done.

And for no reason I would get up,
Before dawn would arrive...
To begin pacing the floor,
With a thinking of what chores I should do.
And which to ignore.
There is so much inside my home,
Seeking an attention given to come.

I then begin to explore,
The kind of day the Sun starts to etch.
And how I can avoid,
What in my head I should do next.
And if a cloudless sky,
Communicates to me...
That I should do what's best.
Well...
Who am I to argue?

I pray, exercise, shower and shave.
I may nibble something to eat.
To then acknowledge,
I will not waste a beautiful day...
Attempting to convince myself,
That a doing of chores had been a priority.
Especially if the Sun has invited me to go outside.

I am easily persuaded,
When Mother Nature invites.
And 'Mama' knows how I can be enticed.

'But,
Your chores?
What about them? '

Oh...
It's 'you'?
The good deed doer side of my mind!
Trying to inflict a sense of responsibility!

I contemplated them.
Isn't that enough?
I am not seeking to be rational,
With reasonable actions to master.

Nor,
Will I be bored today with the balancing of sanity.
I'm not going to give time for a scheduling of that.
Not today.
I am going to relax.
So go away.

When The Daylight Comes

They wish to stay sophisticated,
But afraid of taking risks.
And,
Choose to bicker over petty conflicts that exist.

They wish to want what they can get,
But not retrict their nonsense.
And,
Choose to bicker over petty conflicts that exist.

Grow old,
They do...
With a purpose that molds.
And...
When the daylight comes,
They run away from the Sun.

Grow old,
They do...
With a purpose that molds.

These people do their screw ups,
In the corners of the dark.
And...
When the daylight comes,
They run away from the Sun.

Grow old,
They do...
With a purpose that molds.

Grow old,
They do...
With a purpose that molds.

They wish to stay sophisticated,
But afraid of taking risks.
And,
Choose to bicker over petty conflicts that exist.

Grow old,
They do...
With a purpose that molds.

When the daylight comes,
They run away from the Sun.

Grow old,
They do...
With a purpose that molds.

Never Give Up

Visions that can change the world
Trapped inside an ordinary girl
She looks just like me
Too afraid to dream out loud
I know it sensible idea
It won't make sense to everybody
You need courage now
If you're gonna persevere
To fulfill your life's purpose
You're gotta answer when you're called
So don't be afraid to face the world
Against all odds
Keep the dream alive don't let it die, if something deep inside
Keeps inspiring you to try, don't stop
And never give up; don't ever give up on you
Don't give up
Every victory comes in time
Work today to change tomorrow
It gets easier
Used to say that you can't fly?
Every step you take you get
Closer to your destination
You can feel it now
Don't you know you're almost there?
To fulfill your life's purpose
You're gotta answer when you're called
So don't be afraid to face the world
Against all odds
Keep the dream alive don't let it die, if something deep inside
Keeps inspiring you to try, don't stop
And never give up; don't ever give up on you...
Sometimes life can place a stumbling block in your way
But you've gotta keep the faith
Bring what's deep inside your heart
To Light
And never give up
Don't ever give up on you,
Do't give up
Who holds the pieces to complete the puzzle?
The answer that can solve all mystery
The key that can unlock your understanding
It's all inside of you
You have everything you need
So, keep the dream alive don't let it die
If something deep inside keeps inspiring you to try
Don't stop
And never give up; don't ever give up on you...
Sometimes life can place a stumbling block in your way
But you're gotta keep the faith
Bring what's deep inside your heart
To the light
And never give up
Don't ever give up on you
No.don't give up
No, no, no, no
Don't give up
Don't give up
Don't give up
Oh, don't, no, no, no, no
Don't...give...up

Where is S A H A R!

Where is S A H A R?
I want to See, Appeal, Hear And Rediscover
Even though she is not near
Her memory is fresh and clear

Same flash and light in eyes
Kind and nice smile always flies
Not a word and hello heard since long
Hope nothing has really gone wrong?

Wish her a happy birth day and journey
Let she be blessed with fame and money
I can sincerely wish her long life and pray
Let her find nice position in a better way

Friends are like flowers
Come and go like rain showers
But long and ever lasting impression is left by only few
We miss always and long to see them and view

Good smell and fragrance is always remembered
Friendship and helping hand is always offered
Whether you respond or ignore is different matter
No body here is looser or gainer

What Can You Lose?

Find a purpose in life you like.
And be assertive.
With a boldness you control.

Keep your inner light,
Turned up blinding bright.
And never let it dim.

Ignore those who cause a raucous.
They seek to provoke,
And stir up fuss!

Enjoy your life.
How many opportunities will you have,
To do it?

At least try it.
What can you lose?
A headache?

The Probe of Ripping Critics

Block me from your view,
From your sight if you have to!
Will I still exist...
To express myself like this?
I didn't wait for you to discover,
Where I find 'myself' coming from.
In fact,
You are now where I've been...
At a beginning,
A place I have worked hard to ascend.

And what I do has always been exposed,
Right in front of you...
And those with a gossiping nose!
And blocking 'this' part of what I do,
To get me away from you...
Doesn't change 'me' at all.
Since I've been blessed and gifted...
Whether or not you were here,
Or even if 'you' existed!

I'm not waiting for you to approve of me,
Like others that you have 'done' and 'do'.
I am here being the 'me' I am!
And you are a fool,
If you think my purpose...
Is to focus my time wasted here,
Just on you!

And let me say this,
Before you begin to 'trip'...
I've been blessed to be given,
Many other 'gifts'!
Some of which have withstood the blows,
Of bored yawning audiences...
And the probe of ripping critics!

How Come, How Long (feat. Babyface)

Stevie Wonder and Babyface
There was a girl I used to know
She was oh so beautiful
But she's not here anymore
She had a college degree
Smart as anyone could be
She had so much to live for
But she fell in love
With the wrong kinda man
He abused her love and treated her so bad
There was not enough education in her world
That could save the life of this little girl
How come, how long
It's not right, it's so wrong
Do we let it just go on
Turn our backs and carry on
Wake up, for it's too late
Right now, we can't wait
She won't have a second try
Open up your hearts
As well as your eyes
She tried to give a cry for help
She even blamed things on herself
But no one came to her aid
Nothing was wrong as far as we could tell
That's what we'd like to tell ourselves
But no, it wasn't that way
So she fell in love
With the wrong kinda man
And she paid with her life
For loving that man
So we cannot ignore,
We must look for the signs
And maybe next time we might save
somebody's life
How come, how long
It's not right, it's so wrong
Do we let it just go on
Turn our backs and carry on
Wake up, for it's too late
Right now, we can't wait
She won't have a second try
Open up your hearts
As well as your eyes
I on occasion met that guy
It's been a feeling deep inside
Some ... wasn't right
The way he proves himself a man
By beating his woman with his hands
Oh I wish that she'd seen the light
How can someone like that call himself a man
He's not a man
Soon reality ...
And we cannot ignore
Whenever we see the signs
'Cause any kind of abuse
God knows, it's a crime
How come, how long
It's not right, it's so wrong
Do we let it just go on
Turn our backs and carry on
Wake up, for it's too late
Right now, we can't wait
She won't have a second try
Open up your hearts
As well as your eyes

Where Would I Be Now

By tony joe white and michael mcdonald
Something deep inside, keeps me hangin on
Dont believe Ive ever seen a night so long
Guess I tried to fly high above the clouds
But I landed here in the mornin rain at your door
And I know I let you down again
But right now you know I need a friend
I dont know why
I guess I just lose my way
And your eyes dont believe a word I say
I cant imagine without your love
Where would I be now
Did you ever know
I always looked up to you
And after all this time it remains true
Theres no compromise
No turning back for me
But through the vail of my pride
Sometimes its hard to see
And I know your love is all I need
So when I fall dont stop believing in me
cause your love is whats helpin me survive
Your faith in me is what keeps my hope alive
And without your love
Where would I be now
Well I know your love is worth fightin for
And if it takes forever I will wait at your door
cause your love is whats helpin me survive
Your faith in me is what keeps my hope alive
And without your love
Where would I be now

Fundamental of Liar Chapter CXVII: Use

Even I could spell so much difficult words
But if I don’t find one right word to say
What use I know?

Even I have very clear collection of memory
But if I can’t recall it on the right moment
What use I remember?

Even I understand so many problems
But if I don’t agree with the answers
What use I learn?

Even I own lot of facilities
But if I ignore it most of time
What use I care?

Even it could give me so many benefits
But if I don’t get desire of it
What use I follow?

Even I want to work hard and sacrifice my time
If you don’t appreciate my effort
What use I give?

Even I could do miscellaneous thing
But if I don’t have any purpose in my life
What use I struggle?

Even I’m a faithful person
But if I don’t live happily
What use I believe?

Never Given A Chance To Happen

It would have made a difference,
If those experienced and willing...
To volunteer their time,
To secure the cementing of foundations...
Were regarded as friends.
And not threats to suspect of wanting,
To flaunt special attention given.

It would have made a difference,
If those who had nothing...
Accepted someone with something to give,
As a benefit to the environment.
With an advantage for all.
Instead of someone to ignore...
Defaming with a smearing campaign,
In a hope to see them fall.

It would have made a difference,
To the ones who now...
Have surrounded themselves,
In surmounting conflicts...
Creating their mental and physical ailments.

It would have made a difference,
If mindsets were connected...
To a discipline respected.
It would have made a difference,
But that difference...
Was never given a chance to happen.

It would have made a difference,
If opportunities presented...
Were recognized.

It would have made the difference!
But it didn't!

Shes The Sun

If I could stop the time to reach for sublime
Things getting strange like up an down
If you could read my mind its hard to find
I said I want you back but this is no regret
Its my point of viev and Im going through
So take me away just for one day
Ive neves seen someone like you before
In my dreams I saw you standing there
Im going out no more sience I heard the news
Theres someone you choose
I cant belive what they said
Thats why I feel so bad
Morning, noon and night
My thoughts run circles without any purpose
I cant stand no more - its like circus
I want to repeat, theres nothing rong Ive done
Shes the sun
If I thing of the past life is so fast
Those memories keep me alive and I will survive
Even if Im here and left without
Is there any secret? do you think well keep it?
Lifes so strange if you know what I mean
Theres no one Ive seen before like you
To be honest, I didnt expect something like thisd
Its you I miss now and forever
You and me together
Thats what we thought our life should be
I never could imagine this would happen to me
You feel better now you said its what I cannot belive
My thoughts run circles without any purpose
I cant stand no more - its like circus
I want to repeat, theres nothing rong Ive done
Shes the sun

I Will Survive

(f.perren & d.fekaris)
(this is dedicated to my girls)
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinkin I could never live without you by my side
Then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And so youre back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here, with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second youd be back to bother me
Go on now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
coz youre not welcome anymore
Werent you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you think Id crumble?
Did you think Id lay down and die?
Oh no not i, I will survive
For as long as I know how to love, I know Ill stay alive
Ive got all my life to live
And Ive got all my love to give
Ill survive
I will survive
Hey hey
(i, I will survive)
Hey hey
(i, I will survive)
Every day
(i, I will survive)
Oh yeah
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Just trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high
And you see me, somebody new
Im not that chained up little person still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
But now Im savin all my lovin for someone whos lovin me
Go on now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
Youre not welcome anymore
Werent you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you think Id crumble?
Did you think Id lay down and die?
Oh no not i, I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love, I know Ill stay alive
Ive got all my life to live
And Ive got all my love to give
Ill survive
I will survive
Hey hey
Go now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now

Werent you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you think Id crumble?
Did you think Id lay down and die?
Oh no not i, I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love, I know Ill stay alive
Ive got all my life to live
And Ive got all my love to give
Ill survive

Hey
