An Inward Cry

Begging, of course, is shameful.
To accept alms is painful.
They come without a labour.
As such they are sweet.
The disabled, the invalid
And the paupers have to beg,
Braving the shame and the pain,
With an inward cry nonstop.

God Uses Whoever God Chooses

God uses who God chooses
God chose what is foolish in the world
to shame the wise; (wise in their own words)

God chose what is weak in the world
to shame the strong; (opinionated in own egos) 1Corinthians 1: 27
fools cannot accept a defeated Saviour?

foolish philosophers cannot believe in a God
who would take on mortal frail flesh die
a shameful extremely public painful death?

why because flawed philosophers
cannot live outside inflated ego bubbles?
demand ego tribute worshippers

Momentary slips

A woman sedated by her husband,
Like alms looking for a begging bowl,
Seeks for her a receptacle in secret,
And accept it when it strikes by chance.

There Are Poems Too Painful To Be Written

THERE ARE POEMS TOO PAINFUL TO BE WRITTEN

There are poems too painful to be written
Poems also too shameful-
And poems that cannot be said,
Because of the pain they would give others.

No one can tell all their truth
Without hurting too much.

Silence may be sacred
Hiding – True Love.

This Pain Is For You

Many things I believe for you is pain
I don't want any pain from you but I accept your pain
I'll take the pain from you forever...

Pain can be our own mistake
Pain can lead to our own troubles
Pain can lead to anything inside of us
I just need to get some help
I need you to acknowledge me to help me out of this pain

Many pains cannot be removed
Many can stay forever and ever
Many think pain isn't nothing for them
Pain is everything we learn from the outside world

You may get it someday
Someday you will see what I learn from pain
You may see me with cuts on my arms
That was pain, but this pain is what I feel inside

Love is pain too you know
Thinking about you when you probably just don't care
Pain is getting inside of me, not letting me go
I'm alone in the darkness of shadows

This pain is for you
Many things I believe for you is pain
I don't want any pain from you but I accept your pain
I'll take the pain from you forever

This pain is everything painful has it is,
Ready for everything is to be done for you
I'll be ready for your pain
Every shadows of darkness is there inside of me
Tearing me apart too, but still I hunger you

So I'll take whatever I get and even thou it may pain, I'll treasure it
Please acknowledge me, tell me about your pain and
Forever pure.

Raising Hell

Boom
Semi automatic pulse
Psyched up for the next level
I plug you in
Make life flash before your eyes
Oh God so fixated
It's love labeled X-rated
Oh God so fixated
It's love labeled X-rated
Nonstop mentality
You better learn your lesson well
Nonstop mentality
You better know your heaven well
Before
Raising Hell x4
Boom
Anti Depressive eyes
Try to hidein an alibi
Smashed up
But feel no pain
Doesn't mean your in the game
Oh God so fixated
It's love labeled X-rated
Oh God so fixated
It's love labeled X-rated
Nonstop mentality
You better learn your lesson well
Nonstop mentality
You better know your heaven well
Before
Raising Hell x4
Nonstop mentality
You better learn your lesson well
Nonstop mentality
You better know your heaven well
Nonstop mentality
You better learn your lesson well
Nonstop mentality
You better know

Peace and silence..

Silence exists everywhere,
What human are not aware,
in everything, organic and inorganic,
in planets, space and
even in every atom,
where never ending,
vibration occurs, thus observe,
and release energy,
nonstop, nonstop in commotion.

Silence exists in the audibility,
Of organic, frozen silence,
Always flowing through audible,
A few can hear the frequencies,
The rest are disabled for life,
but peace exists in the hearts,
and exits from the hearts,
that feel the truth of emotions,
Nowhere else...
We can't find peace anywhere else.

What's The New Mary Jane

She looks as an african queen,
She eating twelve chapattis and cream,
She tastes as mongolian lamb,
She coming from out of bahran.
What a shame mary jane
Had a pain at the party.
What a shame mary jane.
What a shame mary jane
Had a pain at the party.
She like to be married with yeti,
He grooving such cooky spaghetti,
She jumping as mexican bean
To make that her body more thin.
What a shame mary jane
Had a pain at the party.
What a shame mary jane.
What a shame mary jane
Had a pain at the party.
She catch patagonian pancake
With that one a gin party makes.
She having all the ways good contacts,
She making with apple an contract.
What a shame mary jane
Had a pain at the party.
What a shame mary jane.
What a shame mary jane
Had a pain at the party.
All together now:
What a shame mary jane
Had a pain at the party.
What a shame mary jane.
What a shame mary jane
Had a pain at the party.
She looks as an african queen,
She tastes as mongolian lamb.
What a shame mary jane
Had a pain at the party.
What a shame mary jane.
What a shame mary jane
Had a pain at the party.
What a shame mary jane
Had a pain at the party.
What a shame mary jane.
What a shame mary jane
Had a pain at the party.

There's Pain on the Faces

There's pain on the faces,
A hunted look of despair,
Once again,
Have you no shame
Do you feel no pain?

The queues have grown
Of the dirty and dispossessed
Once again,
Have you no shame
Do you feel no pain?

The scared and the lonely
Have no where to go,
Once again,
Have you no shame
Do you feel no pain?

Will take you to the soup kitchens,
Make you stand in line,
Talk to the dispossessed, the lost
Have you no shame,
Do you feel no pain?

Were we here?
When she stood in the rubble
Declaring regeneration
A new dawn for us all.
Have you no shame,
Do you feel no pain?

Take your millions,
Do what you want with it
No one cares
We have no sympathy
For those who feel no shame,
Do you still feel no pain?

Dream Hoppers Don't Drop Your Wishes

Dream hoppers don't dropp your wishes.
Still be there nonstop,
With the realizing of your hopes to be revealed.
Do not suspend your reach,
To accept limitations...
Seeking to keep you defeated.
Dream hoppers don't dropp your wishes.
Still be there nonstop!
And idealistic.
Without you no future for us will exist.
Without you creative innovation,
Will diminish to be dismissed.

Painful Solitude

Painful rejection
Your silence speaks volumes
Solitary dove flies alone,

Looking for a place to belong,
She is lost, heart full of pain
Will she ever be able to sing again?

Painful illness
My body agony
My mind endures

Painful isolation
Painful solitude
Painful loneliness

Globalization And The Third World Countries

Globalization and the third world countries,
This light suppose to be outside than inside! !
And out of proverty to satisfy my muse,
For we are now holding Hi-Tec Mobile Phones in our hands.

All our natural resources are taken away at cheaper rates and,
The third world countries do pay back heavily on these Hi-Tec products! !
All in the name of globalization;
With cheap labour on our part to help grow the wealth of the Richer Nations!
And, we become poorer begging for alms than ever,
For, globalization has taken over our respective economies! ! !
But, always hoping that, there will be a better way out one day.

If you are disabled, it is probably not your fault, but it is no good blaming the world or expecting it to take pity on you. One has to have a positive attitude and must make the best of the situation that one finds oneself in; if one is physically disabled, one cannot afford to be psychologically disabled as well. In my opinion, one should concentrate on activities in which one's physical disability will not present a serious handicap...

The Abyss of Shame

Into the dark abyss
of emptiness I go
Falling deeper inside myself ~
the greatest shame I know.

Hopelessness engulfs me
in ways I cannot express
Say goodbye to joy and laughter
and hello to emptiness.

Shame has joined me in despair
reminds me 'who's to blame'?
Me, for letting it happen to me
or him for all this pain.

I can't bear the painful thoughts
his touch, his breath, his kiss
With no one to hear my cries for help
I slip into my abyss.

It's there I can escape from him
and the memories that remain
Of the touch, the look, the feel of him
and his gift to me of shame.

But though I run, I cannot hide
the pain is everywhere
I just want to forget all I feel
and sink deeper into despair.

Oh please I beg, make me forget
the memories and the pain
The betrayal of trust and loss of me
into the abyss of shame.

Fearful Part 1

we are born in pain, uncomfortable and wet,
and because we are born we are mortal,
because we are mortal, we fear that one day,
we will cease to be,

pain hurts. we fear the rebirth of pain,
desire love to overcome fear,
pleasure to forget moments of pain,
many need God to take the burden,

because what we are,
our most driving emotion, mood and sensation
is fear, which lives with us inside and out,
it is a wonder, our psyche and hysic can cope,

courage is only a bluff,
sentiments a history of emotions,
moods and sensations, we call nostalgia or disgust,
fear that something will appear or disappear,

sages, stoics, or ascetics deny fear,
covering themselves in raiment of calm resignation,
hedonists and Epicurians, declare, live today,
the kingdom of heaven is here,

many have made their compact with fear,
finding the sanctuary, in the temples of God,
the sweet warm, sometimes painful embrace of the lover,
or seek sublime in the bosom of nature,

we band together
in societies called tolerance,
a calmer milder form of despotism
to ward off other fears

created models and invented solutions,
Platonic caves and republics, Nietzschean cavemen, supermen
Asimov's robotics, Gates, computers,
and Dylan Thomas, answers 'are blowing in the wind'

Indian yogist, Moselm fakir, both crosslegged
meditiating or begging alms,
one seperating the now from everything to nothing,
blank out fear, strengthened by transmigration,
the other by belief in the next world

A Begging Saint

A BEGGING SAINT

JOSPHINE, now 63
lame and invalid, by birth
at the gates of Eda Street,
St. Mary's Rosary Church -
crawling by her palms
for her essential movements,
eking out a living on the meagre alms,

Unnoticed -
still by a majority of worshipers

I have been watching her
for the past 40 odd years
at the same spot
in the same rags
and in the same state
no traces of noticeable changes
understandably,
when the very survival is in stake,
being alive for so long is brave.

I use to meet her without fail
whenever, I come down to Tiruchi
she also knows my family very well
since my marriage, being one of her fosters

I really wonder at her parallel survival
for decades together, without any shelter
household effects, assets of any other nature,
depending only on the uncertain benevolence
many a times, going dry and hungry. ….. no complaints.

I wish, God will take her direct to the Heaven
similar to the way, He treated St. Lazer.

Have You 'No' Shame?

Have you 'no' shame?

'Of course I do!
Why?
Have you run out of yours?
And you'd like to borrow some of mine?

Every time I turn around,
There you are...
Always begging.
For something!

I'm sorry!
Any shame I have,
I'm keeping.
You'll have to find some of that,
On your own!
What do you take me for?
A shame giver?

You better get out of my face with that!
Bring 'me' something once in a while! '

Enough For You

I've lived enough
To know that love's not everything you need
God knows I know (____ ____?) to so many things
You wanna be
I've seen enough to understand the pain
You're goin' through
It's just a shame to know
I'm not enough for you
It hurts to see the hurt beneath
Your laughter and your lies
And try in vain to free the painful secret
Locked behind your eyes
And I can't even blame you
For the things you're turning to
It's just a shame to know
I'm not enough for you.
I've given you the best
Of everything I had to give
Now there's nothin' left for me to leave you
But my will to live
I hope someday
Somebody somewhere loves you
Like I do
It's just a shame to know
I'm not enough for you.

None is invalid.

I begot many a child.
Some were invalid
But to me none is invalid.
So are all my verses.
That could appeal to some.
If not to all.

Lord Buddha begged.

The society has more thieves than beggars.
In a way, beggars are better than thieves.
They beg but steal not and get but usurp not.
Mortgaging their ego, they are begging.
It is easy to steal but hard to beg.
Give or not, don’t treat beggars with contempt.
Do treat them at par while you give them alms.
Feel elated while you offer them alms.
While giving, dispel their humiliation.
Lord Buddha too led His life as a beggar.

Im Down

(clarke / sylvester / hicks)
Shook my head out of dreams
Realitys calling
The early birds been up all morning
But Ive got no notion of moving from where I am
Though my legs wont move
I feel disabled
Im on a shelf an article labeled
Waiting for someone to fetch me from lost and found
Im down no one to hear me calling
Im down no one to see me falling
Im down
Had my ways
With days of sunshine
Life came easy it all fell in line
But then again I didnt realise
When youre used to one thing
Its hard to accept another
Like the woman who brought you up
Well she aint your mother
How do you cope
With a thing like that
Chorus
I always thought it was my dad who went to war
Thought it was my sister who fell off the wall
My pseudo-brother billy emigrated long ago
Someone went through pain to have me
Someone I should know
Im down
Im down
To the folks who brought me up
Im not ungrateful
Kept the secret from me
They thought it was shameful
It hurt me so
To be the last one to know
Maybe someones out there
Looking for me
Left on their own
Couldnt afford to clothe me
And I i dont even know my real name
Chorus
Im down
Im down
Im down
