Conflicts
Isn’t patience cowardice?
Isn’t tolerance insensitiveness?
Isn’t diplomacy mere cheating?
Isn’t patriotism being fanatic?
Isn’t possessiveness miserliness?
Isn’t passion hatred elsewhere?
Isn’t a fevour a bait?
Persons are in conflict with codes.

About possessiveness
No mind to lend
Is material possessiveness.
To interfere with others
Is personal possessiveness.
To spy your spouse
Is sexual possessiveness.
To catch others’ eyes
Is name possessiveness.
To will to live post death
Is self possessiveness.
The last one is the strongest
With crippling effects.

Remorse For Intemperate Speech
I RANTED to the knave and fool,
But outgrew that school,
Would transform the part,
Fit audience found, but cannot rule
My fanatic heart.
I sought my betters: though in each
Fine manners, liberal speech,
Turn hatred into sport,
Nothing said or done can reach
My fanatic heart,
Out of Ireland have we come.
Great hatred, little room,
Maimed us at the start.
I carry from my mother's womb
A fanatic heart.

Shade is septum less.
Can you draw a line between
Self confidence and over confidence,
Cowardice and patience,
Laziness and idleness,
Religion and superstition,
Aggression and assertion,
Love and lust,
Diplomacy and cheat,
And so on?

Materialism
What is materialism?
Affluence and lavishness,
Extravagance and pomposity,
Hoarding and possessiveness,
Or miserliness or being a spendthrift?
No,
Swindling to spend,
Smuggling to spend
and wasting the abundance.
Can’t you avoid materialism?

Sonnet: A Bit of Patience
A bit of patience works out miracles;
A bit of patience puts off arguments;
A bit of patience problems well tackles;
A bit of patience preserves monuments.
A bit of patience can avoid hatred;
A bit of patience cools one’s anger off;
A bit of patience marks well good kindred;
A bit of patience makes many to laugh.
A bit of patience keeps good friends at peace;
A bit of patience can avoid big wars;
A bit of patience can jealousy cease;
A bit of patience can avoid big scars.
A bit of patience gives good advantage;
A bit of patience is good heritage.

Yielding harvest
Yielding harvest
Not difficult
Sowing seeds

So many persons

Sonnet: Life's Crosses Too Are Blessings In Disguise!
When I am careful, yet get pricked by thorns,
The painful situation reminds me then,
‘Not mere bed of roses, life adorns, '
I need more care whev'r jumping the fen!
When I meet persons, who appear like foes,
And I can feel they're worser than others,
I thank my stars for this surprising dose
Of bitter medicine from my brothers!
When life unravels woes amidst the bliss,
Your tolerance threshold improves a lot,
Convincing you, you must not do amiss,
Despite how people unnerve you and plot!
Sometimes, life hurts you for no reason, still
Let prudence, patience, pity, your heart fill!

Hatred and pity
A cat chasing a rat,
I will fevour the cat
If I have hatred for the rat
And I will favour the rat
If I have pity for the rat.
Hatred and pity control,
Besides sex, one’s action.

Be logical
To bear the mighty is not tolerance.
Fearing to strike is not patience.
Helplessness is not greedless ness.
Being a part of a culprit is not loyalty.
Crushing the weak is not bravery.
Subscribing to criminals is not royalty.
Impotence is not chastity.

Economy Is Dirty
If you fevour the labour
You tax the consumers.
If you fevour the consumers,
You tax the labour.
To fevour the profit
You tax both of them.
It is economy, dirty.

Fear Is The Cause
Forgiveness out of weakness,
Concession under duress,
Respect out of fear,
Love for a fevour
Are not worth the words.

Possessiveness
Every inch of yours
is mine.
Every breath of yours
is mine.
Every space of yours
is mine.
Every move of yours
is mine.
I'm possessiveness
personified!
I need you, own you,
have you, possess you.
Every moment of your life,
all your time...is all mine!
Possessiveness
possesses me...
They say: detachment
is the best policy.
So here I go...
Let me renounce the world
to remain attached to thee!
Possessiveness owns me.
They say: remain aloof
to get detached. Separate
and go your own ways.
What they don't know is
Attachment has nothing
to do with proximity....
Even if you are far across
the seven continents
and the seven seas...
You'll never be able to
disown me!
I'm attached to you.
So are you, to me...
We are partners in possessiveness!
Every smell of yours
I possess
as if like a fragrance
I emanate from thee...
Every sight of yours
I possess, as if
in your eyes, you only
see me...
Possessiveness
possesses us...
like partners in fantasy.
This divine attraction
is the culmination of
love's orgasmic ecstasy!

Protection destroys
Mother, you are the cause of the hatred
Among your children. When you fevour one
The other nurtures hatreds to explode
It on the fevoured child in your absence.

Conflict and Life
Conflict is a form of patience,
O Fortitude, your typical look is past us yet,
Yes, the room in the world of decisions has moved,
So patient is your loud life,
Living had not been the intention.
An example of life has delivered our message
To another example who has an attitude of good.
He is greater than the conflict in this world,
A world it is of motherly natures, of natural work.
Furniture of this Earth has bestowed comfort all the way to sacrifice
Itself by describing itself, and then the world shall recover
Forming love in between, so from this everlasting pleasure
Is a hatred of love, or a loving of love, or so much of it.

To struggle single-handedly
Institutions barred, politics is gone.
Religions dropped, fanaticism is gone.
Boundaries crumbled, patriotism is gone.
Ownership abolished, possessiveness is gone.
Identity erased, rivalry is gone.
Chastity removed, wifehood is dead.
Then you’ve to struggle single-handedly.

Sacrifices give pleasure
Interest removes pain.
Possessiveness breeds interests.
Attachments bring possessiveness.
Sacrifices are done willingly.

Say It Bait It And Run
You can say it and run.
Say it and run.
About what's been done.
You can say it and berate it.
You can say it and run.
Say it and run.
About what's been done.
You can say it,
Leave and run.
How we slid to the bottom from the top.
Say it bait it and run.
Who did what to start this problem.
Say it bait it and run.
Corruption done under dirty rugs.
Say it bait it and run.
What thugs brought this to fisticuffs.
Say it bait it and run.
What party pooped their rule.
Say it bait it and run.
Who's too cool and cuckoo too!
Say it bait it and run.
You can say it and run.
Say it and run.
About what's been done.
You can say it and berate it.
You can say it and run.
Say it and run.
About what's been done.
You can say it,
Leave and run.
Who's too cool and cuckoo too!
Say it bait it and run.
Who's too cuckoo and too cool.
Say it bait it and run.
Who's too cool and cuckoo too!
Say it bait it and run.
Who's too cuckoo and too cool.
Say it bait it and run.
But that cool cuckoo's no fool.
To cause what has been done!
You can say it and run.
Say it and run.
About what's been done.
You can say it and berate it.
You can say it and run.
Say it and run.
About what's been done.
You can say it,
Leave it and run.

Who is a real seer?
Tolerance is at its extreme
When one puts up with one’s wife
Having known her infidelity.
Possessiveness is at its naught
When one bears with the one
Who is the paramour of one’s wife.
Insensitive to sexual jealousy,
Such one ranks higher than a seer.

The Crazy Woman
she is a neighbor
they think she is crazy
what we have
we keep
tolerance and
tolerance
she asks for coffee
and cookies
watches tv
and decides which channel to watch
i am about to burst
until she gets away with
sanity
she says
what she has is tolerance
and tolerance for me
fair.
