Spineless And Mentally Digressive
Oh I can be quite snide,
If that occasion should arise.
I can sling mud with the best...
If I am challenged to pass that test.
I can also be loving and kind,
With the giving of the shirt off my back.
And those who are aware of that,
Aren't so willing to initate on me their attacks.
Oh I can be quite snide,
If that occasion should arise.
I can sling mud with the best...
If I am challenged to pass that test.
But why should I...
Use that as a weapon,
To defy those who are clearly...
Spineless and mentally digressive.

Traffic Jam: The Trap Of Traffic Light
It's not only test your luck, but also test your patience
It's not only test your guts, but also test your instinct
It's not only test your sanity, but also test your obedience to law
It's not only test your ethics, but also test your fidelity
It's not only test your sight, but also test your reflex
It's not only test your estimation of time, but also test your street knowledge
It's not only test your ego, but also test your kindness
It's not only test your control, but also test your awareness
It's not only test your attitude, but also test your responsibility
It's not only test your priority, but also test your humanity

Extremely Rude
I have nothing against those mentally challenged.
I experience being challenged mentally on a daily basis,
Myself.
And accepting invitations to participate,
Is not on my top ten wish list.
Although,
It seems I am solicited regardless of my wishes.
And my only defense I use is to offend...
Someone who perceives,
My defense mechanisms beg for their ignorance.
With a showing of my disrespect they ask from me,
And I am made to feel obliged to deliver...
What they request from me and they get.
Since to ignore them,
Feeds the giving of their agitation.
'You are extremely rude.'
I find that to be a coincidence.
Since my rudeness would have never been shown,
If you had not insisted upon its appearance.

Setup To Fail
When you come to test someone,
You believe is unprepared?
AND with a confidence,
You will be the one to pass...
YOUR 'test',
Easily!
To then leave and be on your way?
Be sure your activities,
Have not been scrutinized...
Prior to administering 'your' test.
What appears to be simple...
May keep your brain twisted,
For the rest of your life.
Riddled with doubts you question.
When you come to test someone,
You believe is unprepared?
AND with a confidence,
You will be the one to pass...
YOUR 'test',
Easily?
Remember this...
You just may be the one,
Being setup to fail.

He Comes Knowing
He comes knowing he is challenged.
He has live his entire life...
Challenged.
Disciplined and observant.
Do you think he is oblivious to the obvious?
And living in a preferred time zone.
Comforted by hidden insecurities...
And deluded by the absence of practiced truths?
He comes knowing he is challenged.
He has live his entire life...
Challenged.
Disciplined and observant.
Do you believe,
One who has been made to feel an 'outsider'...
Does not perceive,
Who receives him as he is!
Amongst those who are quick...
To ridicule him with their negative judgements.
He comes knowing he is challenged.
He has live his entire life...
Challenged.
Disciplined and observant.
And...
He is guided by the 'Divine'!
In time,
You will discover that.
He comes knowing he is challenged.
And knowing he does...
What will and must take place,
To clean up disgraceful traces left,
By those who have lived their entire lives unchallenged...
Thoughtless.
And,
Born to feed their greed!
Prepare...
For the 'We Can and 'We Will'
Winds of change to blow,
Dramatically across the land!
And free of addicting pollutants.

The test of a successful person is not an ability to eliminate all problems before they arise, but to meet and work out difficulties when they do arise. We must be willing to make an intelligent compromise with perfection lest we wait forever before taking action. It's still good advice to cross bridges as we come to them.

One Step At a Time
Challenged.
To face my own insecurities.
And see them for what they are.
Challenged I am with brutal honesty.
With the intent to pick them apart.
I am ready to breathe freely.
Challenged...
Yes!
But today I am not defensive.
Or offended by the time I have taken,
To get to this point in my life.
With habits I will address next.
But for now...
I am satisfied,
To be able to take one step at a time.
This life is mine.
And I am finally fine with it!

God's Test Over Time
that which comes from God endures
that which comes from man perishes
this is the acid test of enduring time
Jesus said many false prophets
will come in my name and will
deceive many but test him true?
“And many false prophets will arise
and mislead many; ” Matthew 24: 11
“But among the people there were
also false prophets, just as there will
be false teachers among you. Under
false pretenses they will introduce
destructive heresies, even denying
the Master who bought them, and thus
bring on themselves swift destruction.” 2 Peter 2: 1
But will they come in his name?
And will they really deceive many?
And will people really believe in them?
“Then if anyone says to YOU, ‘Look!
‘There is the Christ, ’ or, ‘There! ’ do not
believe it. For false Christ's and false
prophets will arise and will give great signs
and wonders so as to mislead, if possible,
even the chosen ones” Matthew 24: 23-24

The yellow pearl control, attack, attack, attack, attack

It is foolish to venture into strange enchanted places
If they aren't the places you want to be
Attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack

That we should capitalize and rob and fell
The poor for the socialistic tree

It is genocide to let liberty lose control

House Of Space
My space is occupied by the brilliant,
Heaven holds a place for the rich.
May we surrender, the peace is ours
As we speak, so much in contrast is this bliss.
Then speak, wondering why we are present
In the masses, looking like protesters
Of the very kind that injure themselves.
The sling is attached to the arm,
Yet peace believes the right wonders
And the sling shall come off
When this tragedy is absent.
My space is brilliant, as I have said,
And this person I am resides in a family
With a house.

No face to save
It did cost me dearly with no face to save
I was so sure of success and tired to be brave
But it was backfired and I had to bite the dust
Friends not only blamed me but doubted the trust
I was very much of reserved nature and preferred to be alone
It was resented by friend circle and did not like by any one
They would dropp in anytime and pass on the crude joke
They will not miss any golden chance to tease and poke
I liked their behavior but objected many times
They will be in search and wait for opportune time
Strike at the weak point and disturb the nerve
I resented the manner in which the blows were served
It is good moment to have funny exchanges
Pull down the image and still confidently manage
It is happy occasion when we are together
Celebrate it to the fullest joy when decide to gather
All said and done but I found it not to the good test
They were doing it with ulterior motives and in bad taste
I sensed the trouble in acceding to the blackmail
But was helpless as I was unable to find the tail
They will form a group and expose me all of sudden
Everybody may enjoy at my helplessness and cut jokes even
I will demonstrate no reprisal and surrender
This was giving them upper hand but sending me to ponder
I took one friend by surprise in good gathering
I chose some words and hurled at him for sharing
He took it ill and left the scene in huff
They all thought I did mischief as time was not opportune to laugh
I had struck at the best of time to give them realization
Friendship is alright but not at the cost of bad relation
We can’t cut sorry figure at all the times
As days can be turned against us at any time
I had no occasion to rejoice at but laughed at result
It was an appropriate rejoinder to an insult
The weapon can’t be double sided to deliver the blow
It must have all the desired elements at one go

Universal Human
(*original in Telugu by Papineni SivaSankar)
No, not physically challenged
But he, who challenged physics
He who emerged victor
Over the paralyzing ‘motor neuron’
With his intellectual work-out
He who stabilized
The powdered sounds of speech
With the speech-synthesizer
He who instilled confidence
In all those challenged
With his brawny arms of wisdom
He’s a swimmer par excellence
In the cosmic oceans
With limbs paralyzed
Performs aerobics in the cavern of time
He swings joyfully
On the threads of galaxies
Steadfast in his belief
That the universe is eternal
He went on to define a designer-universe
Denying entry even to the original designer
No, he isn’t physically-challenged
He is Mr. Intellectual-handsome

Reise Reise (Arise Arise) (Lyrics.)
Even on the waves there is fighting
Where fish and flesh are woven into sea
One stabs the lance while in the army
Another throws it into the ocean
Ahoy
Arise, arise seaman arise
Each does it in his own way
One thrusts the spear into a man
Another then into the fish
Arise, arise seaman arise
And the waves cry softly
In their blood a spear is lodged
They bleed softly into the ocean
The lance must be drowned in flesh
Fish and man sink to the depths
Where the black soul dwells
there is no light on the horizon
Ahoy
Arise, arise seaman arise
Each does it in his own way
One thrusts the spear into a man
Another then into the fish
Arise, arise seaman arise
And the waves cry softly
In their blood a spear is lodged
They bleed softly into the ocean
Arise, arise seaman arise
And the waves cry softly
In their heart a spear is lodged
They bleed themselves dry on the shore

I'm not a bad driver. And I never will be because I took lessons when I was quite a boy. I never had to pass a test because there wasn't such a thing when I first started driving a motor car. So I didn't have to pass one.

In This Romance
I can not do that anymore...
Keeping what I feel inside,
As if stored by a pride
Misinterpreted as being aloof and snide.
I can 'bite' back with the best.
If I chose to when I'm tested!
I can argue in debate...
To defend an ego that's unshakened.
If I did not choose to be awakened.
But I can't do that anymore!
It leaves no taste of satisfaction.
I am seeking someone I can adore.
Not someone who speaks...
And sometimes selects me to ignore!
I can not do that anymore...
Keeping what I feel inside,
As if stored by a pride
Misinterpreted as being aloof and snide.
I want to come out of that place,
And replace it with erased mistakes!
To allow my happiness to flourish!
I want to be encouraged...
And care enough to share,
With one who also wants to see...
The both of us there,
In this 'romance' that is endlessly shared!

Princess Of Egypt
Im coming home
And I dont want to hear another word about this
Its hard to fight well
And come alone back from the abyss
No more of them lunatic thoughts times up
For the don quixote
All I ever wanted was to give this my best shot
The sad part is that you come
From a different kind of life
Im up and leaving now Im living by the knife
Ive lost my faith in human kind and its time for a rest
Even though I did my best I didnt pass your test
You are the princess of egypt and Im just a man
I want to be with you, I feel astray
I need a miracle how to make you understand
Id make you happy but youre far away
You dont know what youre missing
What it is you leave behind
My good intentions for you makes me one of a kind
Youll get by in your fortress
You will hide behind that wall
But one day you will find out you almost had it all
The sad part is that you come
From a different kind of life
Im up and leaving now Im living by the knife
Ive lost my faith in human kind and its time for a rest
Even though I did my best I didnt pass your test
You are the princess of egypt and Im just a man
I want to be with you, I feel astray
I need a miracle how to make you understand
Id make you happy but youre far away

My Dove, My Beautiful One
My dove, my beautiful one,
Arise, arise!
The night-dew lies
Upon my lips and eyes.
The odorous winds are weaving
A music of sighs:
Arise, arise,
My dove, my beautiful one!
I wait by the cedar tree,
My sister, my love,
White breast of the dove,
My breast shall be your bed.
The pale dew lies
Like a veil on my head.
My fair one, my fair dove,
Arise, arise!
