Never To Prosper
Never do we prosper when there is pain,
How do the pains become a tragedy?
My conversations are longer than others
Over the dispute about certain issues.
May results be absolutely accurate
Of the experiments designed to construct.
This experiment is long with much discomfort
But the negotiations are needed with this discomfort.
Success resides in the heart that beats so healthily,
Not just when arguments are aroused and won.

foRgivEnEss..
it is hard to forgive those people
who let you feel anger, pain
and discomfort...
it is the feeling or thing that you
can feel when your anger, pain
and discomfort were gone if you
have overcome them already....
It is a voice in your inner part of
your heart and soul that will help you
overcome those anger, pain and
discomfort....
No matter hard it is to give,
there is still a part of you that can help
make you easy to give to those people...

Without a Higher Consciousness
It has been proclaimed...
That a direction taken,
Has brought upon diversion and shame.
And those who are upset by this,
Are sick that things have not remained the same.
But it is with change that unsettles with discomfort.
And discomfort will be experienced,
By those who wish...
Movements that are made to go backward,
Is a life that should exist...
Without a higher consciousness.

The Ultimate Denial
Depression is being tired, when you're never able to sleep
Depression is pity, when you hate other's sympathy
Depression is longing for more, when you never acknowlede what's already there
Depression is the feeling of self-hatred, when the arrogance is concurrently overwhelming
Depression is the repugnance of emotional discomfort, when a sanctuary for physical affliction exists
Depression is loathing at your own success, when the ones around you prosper
Depression is perfectionism, when you could care less about anything else
Depression is the rock that you choose to constantly trip over, when all you have to do is move around it...
Depression is the ultimate cost of denial, when the truth is too much to handle
One of the issues facing us today is that there are countries where there is a serious lack of resources, the standards of living are very low, and this creates a fundamental unease and discomfort in entire populations.

Reach us back safe and in tact
Nice to know you will be back
It did not strike me
When you left
That there would be a vacuum around
I did not mark earlier
That you were filling up
Lot many things in our life
And I do not know
Whether such a gap and shallowness
Would be created
If I happen to leave
When you are nearby
Your worth goes unnoticed
And when you are not there
It did not take much time
For me to realize that
Everything around me
Was only you
And as you leave
Everything disappears
It was much longer
Than what time units say
And it was really tough and testing
For me to manage and
Live with your absence
How nice to know
You will soon be back
It has already started
Showing up that
You are there
With everything around
Brightening up and waiting for
Your magic touch which
Helps them glitter
Winds cooled down to greet you
On your arrival
Sun is less harsh
Clear night sky
Holds a bright moon
That spews additional chillness
To the already cool night
And the brightest Mars
Shining located very close to the moon
The problem with me, indeed, is
The discomfort of your absence
Has swelled and become less tolerable
As that discomfort
Will soon get eased
As wisdom says
A nearing comfort
Makes an existing discomfort
Highly intolerable
Everyone and everything here
Await your arrival
Reach us back
Safe and in tact

Sufferings
Transplanting is a disturbance-
From pasture to desert
Or desert to pasture, no doubt.
Parting is a discomfort-
From heaven to hell
Or hell to heaven, like that.
Discomfort is suffering
That you can not escape
As change is a recurrence.

Experiments In The Rain
O to construct experiments and cry,
Just to lie in front of the king.
Rain has fallen from high in the sky,
Water so acidic the scientists want to bellow
Insults at a passer-by, the one who constructs.
His entrance into the view high upon the balcony
Is followed by a fall to the ground so slowly
It breaks his head finally.
Enough of this time with this spectator of sport,
They are steaming with fury at the belittlement
Of this strange sportsman of the little kind.
O to reside in this game for long is too sensible
That we sometimes cry for more pain the longer we play.

Boredom is a discomfort which arises from the absence of pain.

What most experimenters take for granted before they begin their experiments is infinitely more interesting than any results to which their experiments lead.

The Moon and the Nomad
t is a long night.
The vehicles zoom on the highway,
Leaves ruffle,
The moon is veiled by pollutants.
The moon chokes,
Struggles to regain its serenity,
A nomad tries to purge the toxins,
The nomad knows he is somehow responsible for the discomfort.
The moon was used to purge itself from all toxins,
For the first time it needed the nomad,
The nomad was in pain too,
The moon wished to regain its tranquility to ease the nomad.
The night is long,
The nomad has a long way to go beyond the moon and the stars,
The moon is icy cold,
The toxins are consuming the moon.

The Poems Are Far Away/The Thoughts Far Away Also
The poems are far away
The thoughts far away also
The heat is too great
And the discomfort difficult
Waiting is not easy
Even if it is only for a few hours-
Soon the birthday guests will assemble
They will sing to me and say kind things about me
I will try in my way to thank and bless them-
It has been a long road
Those who put me on it
Are no longer here-
Now there are for me only the younger generations
Thank G-d for them-
May G-d protect them and enable them to flourish in the years to come
And may I go on for a while also.

No Short-Cuts To Success
The righteous shall prosper
By sweat of their brows and prowess,
There are no short cuts to success!
Equal opportunities for one and all,
And to develop the intellect,
Should at all times be stressed;
Without seeking short cuts to success!
The third class compartments in our trains
Got re-christened as second class,
But the status of our masses,
Got even worse!
Such gimmicks and eye wash
Can no longer hold,
For there are no shot cuts to success
You have always been told!
Let the deserving prosper,
With the right man for the right job,
We are not handicapped or retarded,
No concessions or quotas are required
To get things started!
For the country to prosper, go down
To the grass roots; genuinely uplifting
The status of the masses, as our single
Holy mission,
Since our forefathers have made adequate
Provisions in our Constitution..
But we have failed to implement or redress,
So now seek short cuts to success! !

A central lesson of science is that to understand complex issues (or even simple ones), we must try to free our minds of dogma and to guarantee the freedom to publish, to contradict, and to experiment. Arguments from authority are unacceptable.

Our Minds Are Quite Different
Oh no!
I am not here,
To try to understand you.
Not when you have issues,
Dealing with reality.
That is not why I am here!
Nor my responsibility...
To ensure your life is made clear.
If it isn't for you now,
All the understanding I could share...
Will go absolutely nowhere with you.
'That' I already comprehend.
No longer will I defend,
A clarity you will never see.
You wish to perceive a fantisized existence...
That has a resistance to growing pains.
As long as things remain the same...
You are fine!
Our minds are quite different.
I am not trying to hold on,
To what I know should be let go!
And if that includes you,
To continue to pursue my life to live...
That will be done!
I am not the one for charity give aways,
That do not appreciate or value the delivery...
Purpose or reason!

This Love I've Got
Opened to the flow,
That exists.
No longer am I resisting it...
This love!
This love I've got,
Is more than not!
And is feeding all my needs,
Now I'm stronger than a rock!
This love I've got,
Is more than not!
And is feeding all my needs,
Now I'm stronger than a rock!
I took a mop!
And cleaned up shop.
I had to stop discomfort that I knew,
And grew up a lot!
I took a mop!
And cleaned up shop.
I had to stop discomfort that I knew,
And grew up a lot!
This love I've got,
Is more than not!
And is feeding all my needs,
Now I'm stronger than a rock!
This love I've got,
Is more than not!
And is feeding all my needs,
Now I'm stronger than a rock!
Opened to the flow,
That exists.
No longer am I resisting it...
This love!
Oh...
I took a mop!
And cleaned up shop.
I had to stop discomfort that I knew,
And grew up a lot!
This love I've got,
Is more than not!
And is feeding all my needs,
Now I'm stronger than a rock!
With-this-love I've got.
With-this-love I've got.
With-this-love I've got!

Too Much Pains
there are too much pains...
pains within the heart..
the heart that beats not
for love but wars..
there are too much pains
pains within the soul
the soul that does'nt know God
there are too much pains
pains within the troubled minds
minds who not care for ideas..

The Heat Gives No Relief
THE HEAT GIVES NO RELIEF
The heat gives no relief
All inside palls
The mind does not work
Discomfort rules the world
Is there no way out?
The icecap melts
Everywhere a cruel malaise
Sinks the human spirit-
The sky is a threat
And the sun is an enemy.
We have become our own darkness
And do not have the courage
To resist our fossil fuel hunger
What will become of us?
The only creature we know
Capable of true contemplation
And changing worlds?
We stumble in the chaos of our own malaise
We must wake up before we are dead
But who will lead us? Where and how and now?
In a world of
More heat more discomfort
An increasingly unlivable earth?

An Experiment Of Life....
life is an experiment
this poem is, was, and will always be
another experiment
imitating life, art imitating that serious life
that broken heart
mimicking pain
but can never be
the same
life is so beautiful, because of this experiment
shades of colors mixing in the atmosphere
life changing perfumes
hues,
changing shapes, birds, fish, islands
clouds,
never ending drama
conversations without end
whispers without edges
this one too, the one that you have never felt
even before
as you once closed the door
this is a cloud peeping for you
longing
drifting imitating you
changing
clothes, self, shedding off skin
snake, shark,
shoelace,
waters, sands, kiss, arms,
bodies....
just you and me
behind your nape my hush....

Pains Of Predjudice
I have experienced pain
Undeserving and vivid pain
Pains of rejection and pains prejudice
Pain when my rights were wronged.
Pains while others endure undue harm
My heart aches, my mind bruised
From pains of emotional abuse.
I have seen and experienced it
Read about it, still living it.
Pains of prejudice.

Tootie
You put a rose in my hand
Put a dollar in my pocket
But you dont understand
How the days grow longer, the sky is black as night
I see the morning but you wont see the light
I thought about you for a long, long time
I wrote about you but my words dont seem to rhyme
And now youre lying here
But my heart still beats for you
Had a dream about you
You sat right down beside me
And you told me we were through
It was all so real and you told me reasons why
You brought me to the window
And you taught me how to fly
I thought about you for a long, long time
I said I love you but we just dont have the time
And now youre lying here
But my heart still beats for you
I thought to hold you for a long, long time
You said I love you but my heart wont seem to chime in
And now youre lying here
And my heart still beats for you...Im trying, and my heart still beats for you
