Don’t bother about elders
.
Who mocks at your pursuit
Had himself had that pursuit
When he had passed that age.
Don’t revere much their words.

Strange Pursuit
Intersecting love lines
Drew us closer every day
Always kept your distance
When you felt my presence near you
Love keeps on rolling over
Fly in retreat
I would follow without shame
A stupid spud staggering to the flame
To be had and rehad
Be a victim of the pain
Now its strange, its so strange
Its a strange pursuit
Its a strange pursuit
Its a strange pursuit
I come running like a fatboy
In lead shoes
But like a fatboy
Huff puffing after you
Its hopeless to hope for
The one thing that Im wanting
cause its strange
Its so very strange
Its a strange pursuit
Darling, Im dazzled
But you know Im too frazzled
Its a strange pursuit
Makin my mind up
While it lies in little pieces
Its a strange pursuit
You know its getting tough
When youre getting real rough
Its a strange pursuit
Darling, Im dazzled
But you know Im too frazzled
Its a strange pursuit
Makin my mind up
While it lies in little pieces
It s a strange pursuit

Lies are essential to humanity. They are perhaps as important as the pursuit of pleasure and moreover are dictated by that pursuit.

Just stop for a minute and you'll realize you're happy just being. I think it's the pursuit that screws up happiness. If we drop the pursuit, it's right here.

The pursuit of beauty is much more dangerous nonsense than the pursuit of truth or goodness, because it affords a stronger temptation to the ego.

Self made impotency
A dedicated dancer, a devoted worshiper,
An absorbed artiste and a renowned actress,
Having sublimated thus their libido
Ardently in the pursuit of their careers,
Have themselves gone indifferent to sex.

Check out the Declaration of Independence You think it promises happiness No no no, it talks about the pursuit of happiness. The PURSUIT We've become a nation of wimps We think we're entitled to everything, we want to legislate ourselves into some cozy little cocoon. Well, forget it, Nature Boy. There are no guarantees. Life is nasty, brutish, and short.

The pursuit of peace and progress cannot end in a few years in either victory or defeat. The pursuit of peace and progress, with its trials and its errors, its successes and its setbacks, can never be relaxed and never abandoned.

Fruitless pursuits
Interest lives in a pursuit
Pursuit lives in hope and till it
Fades. Regrets revive interest.
Each soul thus pursues in vain.

Pain is the pleasure
The pursuit of pain to get a reward
Or the pursuit of pain to seek a relief
Gives you pleasure regardless of results
Pain thus constitutes your most of pleasure.

If Someone Loved Leaves They Leave
You have broken my heart.
And again I find myself mending.
To know love is to know,
When the getting over it...
Never ends!
And glad I am to recognize,
Pain is part of realizing...
When to let go.
But the feeling of having known it,
Love...
Is a pursuit that seems to remain forever.
And if someone loved leaves...
They leave.
But love...
Is a pursuit that seems to remain forever.

We Lost Sight…
in the pursuit of
lust
luxury
and limelight
we lost sight of humility
in the pursuit of
power
progress
and prosperity
we lost sight of divinity
in the name of
region
religion
and language
we lost sight of identity
in the name of
caste
color
and creed
we lost sight of humanity

Epitaph On Fop, A Dog Belonging To Lady Throckmorton
Though once a puppy, and though Fop by name,
Here moulders one whose bones some honour claim;
No sycophant, although of spaniel race,
And though no hound, a martyr to the chase.
Ye squirrels, rabbits, leverets, rejoice!
Your haunts no longer echo to his voice;
This record of his fate exulting view,
He died worn out with vain pursuit of you.
'Yes' -- the indignant shade of Fop replies--
'And worn with vain pursuit man also dies.'

The Search Will Never Stop
In the search of the truth their is always more question then answers.
You must use both your heart and head and find your truth.
For in what you see will not be the same as me.
Even as you find one their will be another question in its place to remain.
It is enough to drive one insane.
But in this pursuit you find the unexpected, and rejected.
In this pursuit you will find both sadness and happiness.
And with everything that is found their will be another possibility out their.
Which lead you to a forever continuation of your search.

Unravelling
An outcast, stripped and beaten
up, the sickle moon
smears the clouds with blood.
I hate to wait for –
the sun to undo this mess,
an ethnic mutilation will bring a chaos.
Nursing the peripheries,
tribes were in pursuit of bayonets;
will not surrender the arms
to mate.Unceasingly they are
digging up an abysmal grave
to throw in the truths in uniform-
in pursuit of feathers, offering
for temple archways, turning
on the future, for past glory!

Rich Pursuit
An inglorious pursuit is at hand surely,
Shame is the order of professions that lie;
A lying beast shames the liar himself,
He blesses us, then he passes us in our suffering,
To be a pursuit of truthfulness carries no blame.
The complication is absurd, more than brilliant,
Pennies are attached, and the rich people find it.
They play backgammon, fully professors;
As beautiful as grapes for their knowledge.
Richness is a special joy of talents and master ship,
Ingoing guilt is at hand, finding the right goal.
