Demanding an explanation?
demand for explanation
Is this a test?
It must be
It has something to do
With
Passing away
Or
heart Failure.

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

Defense Mechanism
you have offended me
and you know that i do not demand any explanation
for like the way all things go
as nature to its due course must take
planets keeping its own orbit
galaxies moving to its charted direction
flowing and floating
you very well know me
i do not demand an explanation
i owe you nothing and the guilt inside you
grows like the usual cancer
i carry within me this innate peace
this peace that i treasure
a song it whistles
something in you owes me
but receive it i will not
nature shall i let go
not i, but it, shall take the inevitable revenge
your misfortune comes like a flood
the clouds are heavy with rain
and you, the lonely river, shall catch
the burden of too much water

The evolutionary explanation for origins, although impossible either to prove or to test scientifically, is nevertheless defended by its proponents on the basis that it is the only explanation which is naturalistic, not involving the 'supernatural' element of a divine Creator.

the Way To Success
failure may outnumber success
failure is there
to make you strong
failure may cause pain
but nothing goes in vain
failure keeps you in touch
with reality
failure gives wisdom
failure gives experience
cowards don't fail
It's for the brave
who leave the shore
to sail into unknown
failure is a stop
in the journey of life
don't stop at the bend
today's failure would be
tomorrow's bigger success
failure is the cradle
in which success rocks.
failure is not a sin
failure is the first step for success
failure teaches you how to succeed
failure always helps in your success
failure helps you from failing
if you fail, it's not the end of the world
try!
success will definitely be on your way
so will run away your failure
but...
never forget your failure in life which helped you in your
SUCCESS

And never - not in a single case - was the explanation, 'I was pressured to do this.' The explanation was very often, 'The limited data we had led one to reasonably conclude this. I now see that there's another explanation for it.'
Upon Death
They are passing their tests so seriously,
The graves house the dead who talk
Due to their success, and their successes to come.
Passing the test is like graduating,
And this means facts are held by the head.
Then one learns all that one exerts,
Once the tossing and turning in the grave
Is complete.
This is the final test, how does one respond?
The physical suffering declines,
A word or two is passed and the soul ejects.
My angelic help is tremendous,
My own guardians will respond.

Best
Agile body
An agile mind
Is what
Rigours
Of life demand.
Pondered
Slept
Wept
Crept
For rejuvination
Took rest
And he swept
Me, me
Back.
Me thought
Iwas the best.
Best when
Put to test
Proved
Was not
The best
No end to this test
No end for the best

A Caution To Reece Kay
you may consider this:
we become extinct because of anger, we kill other people's dream,
we forget
we too need to dream, and without dreams we become extinct
anger extinguishes dreams
this is the caution
this site may love dreams too of other people who simply want to dream
and it does not want anger because anger kills dreams
now you are angry and you must suffer,
to extinction you become and you cannot be heard
because now nobody listens
goodbye,
scream in your posts, no one minds reading you anymore
demand an explanation
no explanation shall be written...

Just In Case
just in case we are in the middle of a very
nice and interesting chat and suddenly
a sign appears that i am offline and you
are surprised why i ended the conversation
without the simplest courtesy of 'gtg' or
bye, please think my friend that i meant no
offense at all and surely not a fault of my own
it is this power failure again. So don't you
spend sleepless nights thinking that i am
mad at you or that you have done something
wrong or that this world is a cruel one or that
friends simply cut you off from their line without
any reasonable explanation. It is not that.
it is this power failure again. Not the least,
i must have been groping for the best word
for an ending of my latest poem.Bye baby!

Faith: One Reason We Believe
Faith is the most powerful imagination
A mind could reach, as we ponder result
To grab of what we can or try to move on
So we can challenge those that are difficult
Never leave the unfinished from failure
For such failure dismays intentions
For such intention unfolds one to mature
Like an opening of day's revelations
That faith is also one reason we believe
A soundful mind can illustrate
To a child who's willing to learn, to give
Or share of what they can demonstrate
For what is bested upon test after test
We are the river of flowing of minds
Like streams with many directions attest
By faith in which current we fall in
To invade the weak to make them strong
Or to absorb all things we must know
But cater the rations of right and wrong
Even old folks need some time to grow

Commitment To Excellence
It demands
That you must be crushed like rock to sand
To a fine refinement
To the highest pressures that make that glittering
Diamond
In the dark
It does not demand an explanation of who
Gets the credit
In the limelight
You watch, it is enough that everything is
Done
And now, the glitter lights for everyone.

You Will Meet Her
you shall soon meet her
without her bandana and
you will open to her your
longings and you shall ask
why she remains single all
those years when she was
such a beautiful maiden
with slender arms and soft
hands, and you shall have
some confessions about
some matters of the heart
about women who savor the
loneliness beneath the
deep sunken eyes and
you shall tell me there is
nothing to be afraid of
about loneliness and
lovelessness, you relate like
two old best friends to the
notes of the piano playing
in the dark. There is no
reason. There is no demand
for an explanation. You kiss
each other cheek to cheek.

Existence is a mystery, and one should accept it as a mystery and not pretend to have any explanation. No, explanation is not needed — only exclamation, a wondering heart, awakened, surprised, feeling the mystery of life each moment. Then, and only then, you know what truth is. And truth liberates.
Lap Of The Gods
You do your best you can do,
hoping it will pass the test.
Submitting it, you wait an answer.
Success or failure lies
in the lap of the gods.
You can only hope that
they are smiling and not angry with you.
You work hard at everything that you do.
Success or failure is never in your hands,
a higher authority holds that fate
and it is in their lap it sits.
All that you can hope for is
that they are smiling
and not angry with you.

State Of The Union (In Closing)
we, the working people
of America, demand our dignity!
we demand equality, and fairness!
we are all immigrants here!
yet no human being is illegal.
we demand the right to work,
and to educate our children.
we demand shelter, and healthcare!
we are a hard working, hard fighting
people... we demand a
hard working, hard fighting President!
we know that you are limited
by the hand of the controlling elite,
at the mercy of the corporate machine.
dont be just a figurehead.
your choice!
freedom is a work in progress.
the real revolution is in
the human heart, in the mind.
we are ready for change,
and willing to act.
be ready, and willing!
there are no small people,
we are all people.
we will not be owned!
we cannot go back to the
bigoted, ignorant ways of the past.
you are our best option,
be the man!
most of all, we demand the action
that follows words well spoken.
be the action!
