Loyalists Get Crowns Or Thorns
Being loyal is like a child
Clinging fast to its mother's hand.
It is a survival instinct,
Which honesty cannot command.
One is loyal for a target.
Loyalty is task specific,
Time bound and space bound in approach.
In its place enters no mercy.
Being loyal undermines shame,
Defers logic, ignores justice
And works against one's conscience.
A loyalist might succeed or succumb.

Honesty verses loyalty
Loyalty is being honest to a person;
Honesty is being loyal to a cause.
Loyalty is being faithful
And honesty, being virtuous.
Kumbakarna was loyal;
Vibhishna was honest.
The world is run by loyalty
Rather than by honesty.

[Kumbakarna and Vibhishna are yonger brothers of King Ravana in the Hindu epic Ramayana.]

Make Time For Emergency Needs
we need to believe in people
life is about giving supporting
when we make time to do this
always loyal to our friends
always loyal to strangers needs
always loyal to responsibilities
always thinking beautiful thoughts
we sow potential harmony seeds
this will not exempt us from troubles
sometimes responsibility troubles doubles
but these burning souls in emergency needs
teach appreciation humility as a soul lens

Orwell was the sort of man who was full of grievances. He was very loyal. Once he got to know you, he was extremely loyal. He hated passionately and irrationally.

Gratitude and Loyalty
In case you have a surregated mother,
Be grateful to her, while loyal to the mother.
In case you have an adopted mother
Be loyal to her, while grateful to the mother.

I even knew some of the dialogue but it was definitely cool to look at. We always argue that the movies should be loyal but in this case I could argue that it might have been too loyal.

Loyalty shades honesty
Being loyal to the queen, plunder;
You are spared.
Being honest to truth, thunder;
You are punished.
Fools are moral bound

Edition
Of this life,
Of this love,
Of these chains;
And of many witnesses!
As a loyal lover and a loyal soldier;
But, choose to do the right thing always.
Edition, den, ten, dot, dote, doe, dent, it, end;
According to your love and according to your muse,
And according to the promises of life! !
However, storing up for the time to come.
Edition, edit, in, on, no, ion, ton, not, do, note;
I've finally go it in!
So, i will finally frame the works of your love and hang them on the walls;
But, marry Mary and make merry with her! !
Faith,
Holiness,
Patience,
Meekness,
Righteousness;
To be generous and willing to share with,
But the love of money is the root of all evil! !
Which had led to many sorrows to others.

Have Loved
I have loved you with all my heart and soul
Been loyal, very loyal to you
While I am with you, thought of nobody else comes to my mind
Love you I do, so much
Complete, I am not without you
I hope you will understand this
Incomplete I am, without you
Have loved, with all my heart and all my soul.

5. The Dog Barked Mommy
as the door opened in the morning
the dog ran out to see the one
by her smell he knew she had come
entering through the half open door
she and the doogy hugged eachother
like a mother to meet her adorable child
the dog jumped, licked and danced around
making merry for having her back in house
proudly she stood patting the little doggy
calling herself his proud little mommy
the love they filled in the room i still can visualize
how loyal are dogs over men
loyalty is not in men's dictionary
how lucky the lady she was
to have a child of dog to love her much
although stabbed by her lover
yet playing mother to her beloved doggy

Some Are Less Tense
Time bound, track bound, a runner is tense.
Time bound, task bound, a worker is tense.
Odd bound, risk bound, a master is tense.
Failure not minded, some are less tense.

Dilemma
Dilemma
They fight in me my love and your love,
Yours to let you go, Mine to stop you,
What's the most precious? I always thought,
My life? That's the only thing I've got,
If not life then you will be mine,
For I can't have you crossing life's line,
Then what else that will end my hope,
And fasten me to a tree alone with a rope,
There you came with a dreadful wish,
Leaving my pleading hand, my cold flesh,
Requested me to pray for you a loyal mate,
Am I not loyal? I thought alone I sat,
Should I pray for your match? Lose you forever?
Should I pray to have you? Lose you never?

The Statue of Our Queen
PRIDE, selfishness in every line,
And on its face a frown,
It stands, a sceptre in its hand,
And points forever down.
And who will kneel? The unemployed!
Small homage pay, I ween,
The only men who gather ’neath
The Statue of our Queen.
I’d scarcely wonder if the sun,
That rises with good grace,
Should sink and leave the day undone
At sight of such a face.
But no! The day will still have birth
In all its golden sheen,
When antiquarians unearth
The Statue of our Queen.
Then if you’d have us loyal bide
As we have loyal been,
Great Parkes! for love of England, hide
The Statue of our Queen.

Harry Stephens
So the world of odds and evens ceased to trouble Harry Stephens,
and the niggard road no longer echoes to his lonely tread.
For another bushman found him with his ‘bluey’ wrapped around him, sleeping like a bushman, only sleeping with the mighty dead.
And the shadows were upon him, and they found a ticket on him – just a relic of a battle that was lately lost and won.
And it told the stray Camboonian he’d been loyal to his union (right or wrong) – he had been loyal to the strike of ‘91’.

Finding Another
Maybe we weren't meant to be
Maybe this is lust and not love
Maybe I'm in lust with you and in love with him
No I'm in love with you
But you never know until you try right?
No I'm with you! Never! No trying!
You're the greatest guy
You're the man of my world
You're the man I could never replace
You're the love of my life
My soul mate
The guy I want to spend the rest of my life with
I must be getting cold feet of some sort.
I love you for a million reasons
I will love you until I die
But could he be my real soul mate
Or are you
I'm so confused with my feelings for you
And my feelings for him
What should I do?
I'm so lost
In my mist of mixed feelings for you and him
What do I do?
I don't know what I need to do
Help me someone
I've falling off the cliff of righteousness
And don't know my way back up
I'm lost and don't know how to get back
Just give me your hand to help me up and
Point me in the right direction
I love you more then I've ever loved anyone else
In my whole life
But I'm falling hard and very fast for him
Even after I've told my self about a million times
That I don't like him I love you
And always will love you.
I'm being loyal to you and
That's a big improvement for me because I've never
Been loyal to someone that's been in a relationships
With me in my life so
That must mean something
Right?
It dose to me!

What is a Hero?
Never did I ever think of the definition of a hero.
Is a hero someone who defends the innocent who can’t defend themselves?
Does a hero need's to be arcane? Is a hero someone who thinks of others first?
Is a hero someone who faces dangers in times of peril despite all the odds? Is a hero someone who goes that little extra mile against all odds to make the world a better place?
Are heroes seen as heroes because they are intellectual, strong, fast, braves’ danger or because they are arcane? No, a hero is someone who is hopeful in times when seen as all hope is gone, although hope may be frail it’s hard to kill.
A hero is someone who fights all kind of injustice but also who is merciful. A hero is someone who is compassionate to others needs and difficulties, someone who is loyal to fighting injustice and sincere in what they are doing but with wisdom.
Show me a person with the attributes of being merciful, compassionate, loyal, sincere and wise and I will not only show you a hero but a Legend.

A Song of the Road
O I will walk with you, my lad, whichever way you fare,
You'll have me, too, the side o' you, with heart as light as air;
No care for where the road you take's a-leadin' anywhere,--
It can but be a joyful ja'nt whilst you journey there.
The road you take's the path o' love, an' that's the bridth o' two--
An' I will walk with you, my lad -- O I will walk with you.
Ho! I will walk with you, my lad,
Be weather black or blue
Or roadsides frost or dew, my lad --
O I will walk with you.
Aye, glad, my lad, I'll walk with you, whatever winds may blow,
Or summer blossoms stay our steps, or blinding drifts of snow;
The way thay you set face an' foot 's the way that I will go,
An' brave I'll be, abreast o' ye, the Saints and Angels know!
With loyal hand in loyal hand, an' one heart made o' two,
Through summer's gold, or winter's cold, It's I will walk with you.
Sure, I will walk with you, my lad,
A love ordains me to,--
To Heaven's door, an' through, my lad.
O I will walk with you.

Last days of an old dog
The last days
Of an old dog
Forgotten rays
Of last hope
She was the first
I trained from the start
A dog- just a dog
Some of you may say at first
But she was with me every part
She never betrayed behind fog
The last days
Nothing to do
Lost rays
Of a sun to you
I’ll never forget
The last eleven years
You may call me mad
Because I shed
So many tears
For an old pet
She was loyal
Every time
She was true
Never wrong
People have lied
my dog did not
The last days
The last corridor to go
The green mile
The green on a grave
She always fought
Whatever we thought
But her latest fight
Can’t be won with pride
It’s the end of her life
Memories will ever survive
I will miss her
Tears not to share
The last days
The last rays
Of honest, loyal eyes
Of one, who never lies

I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.

Sonnet. On a picture of the Virgin
If the young mother clasp, for the first time,
The mortal child that earthly love has given,
With a deep joy preluding that of heaven;
Who shall describe thy ecstacy sublime,
Oh Virgin mother! when upon thy ear
The message of the announcing angel fell,
In heavenly tones to calm thy rising fear,
And thy approaching glory to fortell.
Was ever mother so divinely blest,
As when, the glow of Heaven yet clinging round him,
Before the weight of human grief had bound him,
The gentle Christ-child to thy heart was prest?
Oh, blessed among women! joy like thine
What hand shall dare describe! alas, not mine.
