The Perfomance Of Stars For The Coming Boastful Election?
[Today I touched a different type of book? 'One Night's Shelter/From home to homelessness, autobiography of an American Buddhist monk Bikkhu Yogavacara Rahula.He was born Scott Joseph DuPrez in Southern California in 1948.He grew up during the hippie revolution and entered the U.S. Army for three years in 1967, spending ten months in Vietnam.In 1972, he began a long odyssey starting in Scandinavia, and ended up in India and Nepal.In Nepal he encountered his first spiritual teachers, Tibetan Lamas, at a month long meditation course, by the end of which he was converted to being a Buddhist.His search brought him to Sri Lanka where he was ordained as a Buddhist monk in 1975.Since 1987, he has resided at the Bhavana Society forest Monastery in West Virginia, USA.]
Aries: 'I do not mind who comes to the power and I am on his side give my full support to him or her?
Tarus: Somebody must win and someone should lose.But I would like to have a friendship with both of them.
Gemini: I don't care who wins or loses as they never reach us.
Cancer: O the damned politics a cancerous growth.
Leo: They may have superpowers but close to our dens they hide their short tails?
Virgo: I am not scared to tell the truth they're henpecked!
Libra: Nobody rules in this World a balanced way?
Scorpio: They rule like scorpions but at last just spiders?
Saggatarius: They are not good marksmen.
Capricorn: Their promises are like honey but when it breaks really bitter.
Aquarius: Ocean is big but you cannot sip the water a bit?
Pisces: You do not want to teach them, the fish to swim and likewise cheating is their heritage?
To Dale Breckenridge Carnegie for his book

Seclusion!
I tried to hide
from everything
and peep into a snail's
empty shell?
But not enough room there
for this pointless huge body.
Probably the soul could enter?

Man Who Got No Sign
Ko-we-ha Gemini Jim taw Scorpio Salo
Taw sejno-nej-o-to-kono o-ha-na-shi-te-saw
There was Gemini Jim and Scorpio Sal they was livin' by the Golden Gate
Freezin' their nose and wearin' leather clothes and dealin' every way but straight
They had a Leo dog and a Capricorn cat and everything was goin' fine
Until into their life on a moonless night come the man who got no sign
He roared right in like some evil wind and he rolled himself a righteous smoke
As the thunder scrashed and the lightenin' flashed he took a toke and a spoke
Said he was born in an astrological warp when the stars refused to shine
On the cusp of Nowhere and Nevermore he's the man that got no sign
Then he told a story of an endless search to find his missin' part
And Scorpio Sal she smiles at him tries to do his chart
But the Pisces Ben who was Jim's best friend aaid man you must be blind
You better grab your knife and take the life of the man who'd got no sign
And so it happened and his blood run soaked the ground
The arrest was made by Sheriff Slade and Aquarius thru and thru
But the jailer was a Sagittarius so he beat Jim black and blue
And then they dragged him up to the courthouse stairs they said Jim how do you plea
He said man the moon's in Virgo so the blame don't fall on me
Well the jury all was the Libras so you know they was more than fair
But the lawyer was an Aries and an Aries just don't care
The judge he was a Cancer and Cancers have no friends
But the hungman was a Taurus and that's where the circle ends

Zodiac
Even the solar kinesis has restraints
A band of twelve figureless figures allures
Their pantomime enjoying the sun reposes
Buckled but we are at times
To laugh we cry to the deities
Unseen gods quietly in the game of celestials
Constellations anyway figure in the magazines
Over telecasts and broadcasts
On road-way palm-lines
You're foretold to name your fortunes
Aries to Pisces via Taurus toAquarius
Via Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpius
Sagittarius, Capricorn to make all friends

Why.............?
The American book of 'why',
The Asian book of 'why',
The European book of 'why',
The African book of 'why',
The Australian book of 'why',
The most asked question in the valley of world events;
Especially when one explodes a bomb!
The Christian book of 'why',
The Muslim book of 'why',
The Jewish book of 'why',
The Hindu book of 'why',
The Krishna book of 'why',
lLife is like the yeast which makes the bread rise;
But, the writer always has his or her own mind.
The Pagan book of 'why',
The Buddhist book of 'why',
The Protestant book of 'why',
The Confucian book of 'why',
To all life's aspects with the remaining books of 'why';
Poetry is the literature that muses with the mind.
Shall the trumpet be blown in the city and,
The people will not be afraid?
Seven bulls and seven rams,
I am the planted tree by the rivers of waters.
I am very young in years but,
The word 'why' is the question that goes around easily.

Allah supports Muslim in Burma.
Those martyrs are bold and brave,
Allah! You are only One who can save.
Send your angels to sustain,
Courage, courage is to obtain,
Allah sends volcanoes, tempests, earthquake,
You have a superpower, It's quick,
Muslim in Burma needs support,
The fact can abuse and distort,
Buddhist are terrorist,
Heartless, slaying are the worst,
Allah you are the fair,
Buddhist can't deserve to breathe the air.
The Massacres are carried out,
Allah! for Buddhist! wipe them out.
Allah sends the angels to demolish,
The cries of mother can't finish.

What I Saw At The Temple...
in the buddhist monastery somewhere
in ho chi minh city
an old tourist who travels alone
though a roman catholic by option
and tradition
lights his incense
buys a blank paper
writes his unfulfilled wishes of his
long gone youth
submits it to the famous Lady of the Sea
the monk in maroon
lights the paper and the the smoke goes up to the sky
as the gods
begin to deliberate whether this old man
deserves it
a young boy left by his mother
(as she busies herself on the altar)
leans on the
300 year-old wall
wondering what is this all about
twitching

Do Not Think
for in truth
according to the Buddhist monk
to write a poem
you do not think
you just watch and then you begin to write
go outside the
enclosures
lay on the grass
see beyond the fists of your hand
break the shell
that walls the beauty inside you
you write what you see
they all think for you

Spark In Mars
Should my testicles be that,
Of one born with Gemini Rising?
Should my buttocks be as thick,
As one with Venus and Moon in Capricorn?
Should my Aquarius Sun...
Spark in Mars as it is done.
And should my heart sit with Pisces...
Since sometimes it,
Comes to visit my emotions.
And bringing with it,
A reason for my stiff lift!

Mr.Trump here's my fading certificate of Birth!
Born April 19,1951
At a General Hospital, Colombo, Sri Lanka
Male gender, colour of skin Tan!
Under the Star of Capricorn
Named as Nimal,
Father Buddhist and Mother's baptized
But I am a free thinker
Mixed with Human Gods.
Still I believe the Buddha is the greatest poet!
According to his teachings
A Man has myriad of birth certificates
Along this endless journey,
As he's born in every country of this tiny World!
My dilemma is this why do they ignore of the Human group of blood
In this piece of ridiculous paper?

Westerner
Winter wakes at west, sunny days lost to least.
we heard days are best, so we toured to east.
We flew over the ocean, there were many settlers,
Nepal is the nation, beauty, Kathmandu the city of temples.
We were over arrival, then we saw lots of bars.
We were way to far, so we hired car.
Cheap restaurants, best services, we had many bucks,
We have never been here, wow Nepal really rolls and rocks.
We drank, dance then we made a glide, then we make a ride
Birthplace of Buddha, they delight and the life is really bright.
We had lots of fun and gettogether, we mistakenly slept in theatre.
Nepal is really awesome, we say it, do travel here...

The poet some called him Eccentric
Hey! You asked my Religion very frequently
My Father is a Buddhist and Mother
A Baptized Protestant.
In my certificate of birth they registered me as a Buddhist.
But my religion is Humanism!
I am sure you all laugh and tell;
'There's no Religion by such a name in the World.'
Sorry, this may bitter for you,
When Adam eats the forbidden fruit
Eve's shy and covered her secret place with a Maple leaf?
And the invisible Gardener kept quiet.
That's called Humanism the oldest Religion!

When asked if I consider myself Buddhist, the answer is, Not really. But it's more my religion than any other because I was brought up with it in an intellectual and spiritual environment. I don't practice or preach it, however.

Born To Rule
Lay down your arms this night
Surrender to the power
Embracing your metal heart
On your final walk through the snow
A hammer made of steel
From the river of blood
With magic, forged in flames
Delusions, a curse of the damned
What do you see?
Imaginary visions or reality
When you're free
Then you'll see that you are bound to rule
Rule - Born - Rule
We were Born to Rule
Rule - Born - Rule
We were Born to Rule
Born to Rule - Born to Rule
We're Born to Rule forever more
Born to Rule - Born to Rule
We're Born to Rule forever
The revolution forced us all to heed the final call
And if tomorrow never comes
Then we will strike the hammer down
Rule - Born - Rule
We were Born to Rule
Rule - Born - Rule
We were Born to Rule
Born to Rule - Born to Rule
We're Born to Rule forever more
Born to Rule - Born to Rule
We're Born to Rule forever
Forever, forever Rule!

You're my life-school Teacher
and the West Virginian Nightingale!
But no chirps these days?
I send you this Talisman,
a tiny compass
That indicates where I am breathing now hardly.
I pray to my individual poet-God every seconds
for your immediate recovery and also I have a plan
to see you soon when my innocent wallet sounds good?
I have heard about the West Virginian Forest Buddhist Monastery
and there If I could finish my journey?
Anyway, I hope that you have already voted
to the same soul who could achieve his precious goals
for our welfare.
Best of Luck!

Children Of The Stars
Distant stars align when we are born
Witnesses include Angels' n’ Avatars
Whether Virgo, Libra or Capricorn
We’re Sons n’ Daughters of the stars
ROTMS
Excerpts from “The Emerald Tablet” by Dennis William Hauck:
“Distillation” Primary to Virgo
The alchemists considered the astrological characteristics of Distillation to be primarily those of Virgo, whose cipher was assigned to represent the operation. The Egyptians associated their mother goddess Isis with the sign of her theme of changing from a child-like state to a wiser, individualized state was represented by the ripening of crops. The quest of Virgo persons is for meaningful service, and they are therefore closely allied with Hermes. Those Born under this Earth sign like things in order, sometimes worry too much, and have a tendency toward licentiousness, but conscientiousness is their redeeming trait and they have an amazingly unselfish sense of service to others. The also tend to be precise and analytical, seeking to know and understand everything. Famous people born under the contradictory sign of the Virgin include Mother Teresa, Oliver Stone, Dr. Joyce Brother, Lily Tomlin, Keanu Reeves, Michal Jackson, and Paul Rubens.
“Sublimation” Primary to Libra
Libra is the astrological sign of the alchemists chose to denote the process of sublimation. The ancient Egyptians associated this Air Sign with Chonsu, the Divine Child, as well as Maat, the goddess of Truth so revered by Akhenaten. The search for the Libra person is a true soul mate. Librans tend to be artistically sensitive, sociable, balanced, charming, and sympathetic to others. While prizing beauty and harmony, they can sometimes be temperamental or indecisive, which makes people doubt their judgment. Famous people born under the sign of the Scales are T.S. Eliot, E.E. Cummings, Truman Capote, John Lennon, Jimmy Carter, Mahatma Gandhi, Jesse Jackson, Johnny Carson, and Barbara Walters.

We Fish
We fish, we fish, we merrily swim,
We care not for friend nor for foe.
Our fins are stout,
Our tails are out,
As through the seas we go.
Fish, Fish, we are fish with red gills;
Naught disturbs us, our blood is at zero:
We are buoyant because of our bags,
Being many, each fish is a hero.
We care not what is it, this life
That we follow, this phantom unknown;
To swim, it's exceedingly pleasant,--
So swim away, making a foam.
This strange looking thing by our side,
Not for safety, around it we flee:--
Its shadow's so shady, that's all,--
We only swim under its lee.
And as for the eels there above,
And as for the fowls of the air,
We care not for them nor their ways,
As we cheerily glide afar!
We fish, we fish, we merrily swim,
We care not for friend nor for foe:
Our fins are stout,
Our tails are out,
As through the seas we go.

Girls as Exquisite as Exotic Tattoos and Hieroglyphics
The day we finally meet
It will be raining softly
On grey and lonely urban streets,
The last dangling autumn leaves
Will fall from shivering November trees.
Perhaps, we’ll gaze into each other’s eyes
At a Buddhist book store
Where the incense burn
Slow and sweet.
We have mystical steps to take
As we journey into mystery.
It can take a multitude of lifetimes
Before certain souls reunite,
And love can only be realized
After making it safely through
The forest of emotional confusion.
I’ve been playing on this playground
Without a close friend for a long time;
I’ve learned to accept solitude as sublime,
But I’m willing to share enlightenment.

Aesthetic Golden Section Rule
Now I know why Edith Piaf's life was so tempestuous,
she was born on 19 December as a Sagittarean while
her Astrogenetic sign, counting nine months back, is
Aries, the most fiery, unbridled zodiac sign, she took
the lead in her artistic life, couldn't follow any rules -
was never interested in wealth, lived it up in style,
my theory works perfectly for understanding life
I am attracted by Scorpio who rises like a Phoenix
when life runs him down and by Capricorn who is
focused on rules and truth, as a Cancerian I seek
the discipline of the aesthetic Golden Section rule,
faced with the science of translation I fail to create
flowing lines from jumbled originals, earning the
scorn of this scientific fraternity - it is clear
I cannot rephrase in terms that satisfy, I'm wasting
my time fighting windmills, this war was lost before
the first shots were fired…
