The Fittest
to see to it that only the fittest survive
we opted to eliminate
we did not mind the pain of others
we have in mind
excellence
when only a few have been left
when the world has become lonelier than ever
we face them
we welcome them in this world of the fittest
this is the heartless
society
this is the logical corner of the universe
less human
robotic
calculating
devoid of emotions
there is no love
no one dies here
always awake and guarding
no tears, no screams
all pressing keys and looking for the solutions of
problems
stuffed.

Out There In Nature's Wild Kingdom
Out there in Nature's wild kingdom the struggle is for to survive
And the strongest and the fittest can only hope to thrive
In a time of Global warming chances of extinction multiply
And people as well as all of life endangered as the Planet becomes more dry,
Out there in Nature's wild kingdom by men one more wood is cut down
For to build a new housing estate on the verge of the town
Habitat destruction a huge threat to wildlife
In a World where human greed is becoming more rife
Out there amongst Nature birds and beasts of prey
The creatures of night and the creatures of day
Must kill for to eat such is life one might say
Survival of the fittest that is Nature's way
And out there in Nature's kingdom the fittest survive
And most creatures must struggle just to stay alive.

The Unfortunates
Society becomes increasingly diversified,
The contrast becomes starker with every news report.
Riches to the rich, and calories to the fat,
While the world’s unfortunates fall endlessly short.
Humanity prompts a damming effort,
A pseudo wall of love and compassion is built,
Only the unfortunates can fully appreciate the irony,
Of the rich and greedy, evoking the guilt.
Devoid of alternative, they accept the dowry,
The union of their need with the “patronising” benefit,
And so “civilised” society can rest its mind,
Bless, their cotton socks, but I’ve done my bit.
But alas, what to do, how to resolve, how to fix,
Answers? Well this is the enigma we face.
In-equity, disparity, diversity in life,
Have characterised the age of the whole human race.
Perhaps, and just maybe, there is no great answer,
No all embracing solution to placate and reassure
And perhaps, after all, that’s the way it must be,
Survival of the fittest, and no magic cure.

You are shaky
Predator-prey is the world.
The survival of the fittest
Is the universal rule.
The fittest are not always
The strongest, the richest
Or the most powerful.
They are the strategists.
The strategists too succumb
To the accidentals.
You are any time shaky.

The Inheritors.
A silent world where no bird sings
A world devoid of living things.
Only the fittest could survive.
The Roaches adapted and still thrive.
The human race has long since died.
Killed by their overweening pride
Although they thought they were the best
they are as dead as all the rest.
Ignoring Mother Natures rule
a race of self destructive fools.
They meddled with and altered genes.
Creating hybrid in betweens.
The end result is as you see.
Cockroaches rule triumphantly.

That's Our Society
Cries,
Screams,
Tears,
Anarchy.
That's our society.
Pure hate,
Heartless souls,
Numb,
Prejudice.
That's our society.
Unwanted,
Vacant,
Deserted,
Plain.
That's our society.
Conformity,
Pain,
Death,
War.
That's our society.
It makes it seem like it's
Not where you'd want to
Be placed, doesn't it?

Those bare forests
When I was young, I had gone to this forest,
It was dark, deep and wild,
Like my youth it was full of resources,
I had spent few days there and had learned how the forest life is?
Forest life means survival of the fittest,
I could not find difference between city and forest,
In city too only the fittest can survive else the human who have wore the leather of lethal animal will not let the herbivore animal like us to live.
After twenty years struggling in the city and being tortured by children,
I returned back to the same forest to see its growth,
I could see it was bare, cut by poacher, deforesters,
It had not followed its own rule and the trees which it holds were all ageing like me,
We both were thrown out of the society it was thrown by cutting and I by my own sons.
I and it had the same fate bare with few more ageing hair and trees to be removed.

Tis Ungenerous And Oppressive People
'Tis ungenerous and oppressive people create refugees
The people who risk their lives in leaky boats on the dangerous seas
In search of a better and safer life in a Land far away
From where they first looked on the bright lamp of day
'Tis the greed of the greedy create poverty
And cause homelessness and hunger and inequality
'Tis survival of the fittest as some are known to say
In a fair Human World it should not have to be this way
So many disadvantaged in the social divide
And the gap between the haves and the have nots is growing ever wide
And many grow poorer for every new millionaire
The minority own the most of the World's wealth and most are unwilling to share
Even a small percentage of their millions with those in most need
'Twould seem survival of the fittest has it's roots in greed.

Nature abhors a hero. For one thing, he violates the law of conservation of energy. For another, how can it be the survival of the fittest when the fittest keeps putting himself in situations where he is most likely to be creamed?

Heartless
Can't you see he's the heartless
Your pain is not love
He's taking it too far
Don't you know it is wrong
You're the one for me lady
You're the one
If you'd only see in my heart
You'd know all is not lost
Your time is running out
And you still haven't made up your mind
Can't you see he's the heartless
And you're one of a kind

Your pain won't ever be love

Wiggly World
They say the fittest shall survive
Yet the unfit may live
Let em wear gaudy colors

Oh you got a nickel

But I havent got the time
You gotta walk like a mannequin
Roll like a tire
Act on reaction
Dodge the big spud fryer
So wiggle on the bottom
Wiggle on the top
Wiggle up the middle
And laugh a lot
Cause Ive been living in a wiggly world
Wiggly world, a wiggly world

For Lisbeth...
she surrenders finally
to the hands of marriage
forgetting finally her
disappointing struggles with
books and
peers and scales and
a litany of human cases
and supreme court decisions on the matter
'what is justice all about? ' her first question
who dares an answer that satiates her thirst for it?
no one.
the legal room finally ejects her
she is a plate of vomit
and she ultimately confesses
she misses
those nooks where people are
too serious
to be really true to themselves
for they must appear
like dead pillars
unswayed
to discomfort and
unconvinced about the power
of emotions
those flitting feelings are not
welcome here
sorry
so sorry to tell her that
she who cries
and grieves
and says this is a cruel world
where the fittest
too shall suffer
this is where people become stuffed animals
honored somehow for their
sacrifices
their frozen sweat and tears
eyes have no time for blinking
people's minds are sculpted
to objectivity
like stone or marble slabs
into pieces
of davids
she goes back to the door of the family
enters it and locks the door behind her
it is raining that time
and people have to shout to be heard
hugs her two kids
her mirror to her new world
a confirmation of her untapped genius
what a flattery!
I'll make a lie and tell her
you finally find bliss!
deep within me i am not at all impressed
this is the best world i got
and she is never a part of it
i will let her think
about something that makes her happy
i will not let her ask
if i am telling the truth
i don't have the time
neither does she.

Of Puzzles And Troubled Hearts
if only..
the problems and pains..
and trials i am in now
are math puzzles i ma so sure
more than sure enough
i hads find the values of
my variables whatever they might be
the X or the Y..i should
had gone through trials and errors
and nobody will complain
how many times will i do it
how many errors will i make
till i find the solutions
that could solve my equations and then i
would be glad..
i should had done substitution or
the process of eliminations
or the comparison and contrast
whether in differential
or integral calculus
i would not mind how many liquid erasers
i will consume nor
how many crampled papers thrown
on hungry waste bins they had
no feelings anyway, no emotions to consider
so i will not hesitates to repeat
mistakes and and tons of mistakes
till i know and contended
the solutions are best
yet i am dealing with a soul
endowed with a with
a heart that bleeds
a mind that cares
and whatever my solutions are
it will touch others lives and might
change the disposition of souls
it is too hard to retrace moments bask
when there will be agonies
because you had made something not
accepted by society and man
tand that would be bad
ah,, there is a big difference
between math problems and life dilemma
nobody got hurts in Math
and you can erase mistakes anytime
but in the game of life
one mistake you die...
and that was that
no ifs no buts..
so just be careful enough

Domesticated
for you have been sheltered
the whole of your life
you have become the model of
domestication
the one with a sense of home
that sense of a comfortable zone
you have become a coward
unable to feel the roughness of the world
unable to accept its delineations
deviant world, bending and bending
to the commands of the few
the dictates of greed
the insanity of power
you have become a very entertaining dog
knowing very well the tricks
disabled to the call of the wilderness
the sharpness of your pangs
the smell of danger
the beauty of war, that law of predator and prey
the survival of the fittest.
you have become a stuffed toy.

You Are Always On My Mind
I love you so much that,
I cannot sleep at night;
You are the delight of my dreams and,
I want you to know that.
You are always on my mind,
In this world so sweet is you as my lover;
And, i will always remember you.
Everything has to go on smoothly to cement our love,
Down by the river side with the love that muses;
I can alwayssee your image on the surface of the water,
You are mine my sweetheart.
You are always on my mind and,
Don't let the colours and the differences separate us;
Don't let distances separate us too,
For you are all that i need my sweetheart.
Your love matters to me a lot,
You are the dream of my dreams;
Your shape and movement do motivate my intuitions.
You are always on my mind,
You are all that i need;
In times like this, i will always dream of you.
I love you so much that,
I don't know what to do;
I want you to know about this my sweetheart,
You are always on my mind.
Let the emotions of your love move towards me,
Come and be the one for me always;
My world is your world and,
Your world is my world too;
You are the very one to upgrade my status.
You are always on my mind and,
I have nowhere going than to love you;
Like a bread and butter pudding,
Let your love zone be mine.
My beautiful woman,
Love makes the world go round;
And your sweet love is always on my mind.

Out The Window
You said to never ever come back
I wasnt sure exactly what you meant by that
I know that we have had some problems
But Ive got solutions in my head
[chorus:]
So I jumped out the window
And down the fire escape
Broke the window, who needs car keys anyway?
Climbed through the window, I thought led to your heart
Thrown out the window, there was nothing there to break my fall.
Sorry I sent you all the flowers
I heard your boyfriend wants to shove them up my ass
I never meant to cause you problems
But Ive got solutions in my head.
[chorus]
You said its over
You said never again
Why does this happen all the time?
You dont even want to be friends
It makes you happy when I cry
Now all Ive got left is my sanity
Now all Ive got left is my sanity
And Im not sure how far it goes.

Touch Others With Tears
When trials descends upon the home,
I am left alone to find solution,
With tears making sheltering atone.
They turned to water and wet my face,
Problems trace the air in silence,
They leave to go and return in haste.
The friends I ask for help,
It seems they too have long slip,
From the positions they had grip.
Their hearts are made of stone,
With passion surrendering decision
I wrestle with passion.
Struggle on trying to understand,
We have to the face trials in our mind,
Treat then as an enemy or a friend.
Realise everything is just for a little while,
We can walk away or even run a mile,
But a problem share though a smile.
Will overcome the winds that blow,
The pain where the tears flows,
Reaching heights of sorrows.
Outside when the tears dried,
Pain goes where tears cannot hide,
The breath we take torment inside.
From the moment you touch others,
See the world through their watery eyes,
Piercing inside with winter tears.
