My privilege
I had my self-respect till I met you.
I had my ego intact until I met you.
Now I lost my pride and prestige
At your adamant heart and reticence.
Yet, I am happier to have the privilege
Of not being out of your focus..

Mine, their envy
Those things still I keep in my showcase
Not that I remain ever under their spell
But that they still can charm the visitors,
Whose envy is my pride. I am in strides.

The old are invalid
Trees draw birds
Only till they bear.

Your aura
Senses, you canalize; don’t master.
Mind, you rationalize; don’t block.
Intelligence, you crack; don’t lull.
Self, you meditate, don’t pride.
Your aura will be in expansion.

Karmayoga
Lord Krishna taught Arjuna
In and out of Karmayoga,
To egg him to war.
Yuthistra had had practiced it.
He played the dice,
Unperturbed by the loss,
Without mind on the result,
Till he lost himself and wife.
Who taught it to him?

Don't Only Focus On The Money
When you go for the money,
You'll be selling your soul.
And when one goes for just the money,
The heart turns cold.
So don't focus on the money,
Don't.
Don't only focus on the money,
Don't.
Bling is nice but there's more to life.
Don't focus on the money,
Don't.
Open your mind with bright wide eyes,
To take a ride that will excite you.
With a view to greater heights.
So...
Don't focus on the money,
Don't.
No don't you focus on the money,
Don't.
When you go for the money,
You'll be selling your soul.
Don't focus on the money,
Don't.
Don't let your heart grow old and cold.
Don't focus on the money,
Don't.
So...
Don't you focus on the money,
Don't.
No don't you focus on the money,
Don't.
So...
Don't you focus on the money,
Don't.
No don't you focus on the money,
Don't.
Don't only focus on the money,
Don't.
No don't you focus on the money,
Don't.
So you just don't focus on the money,
Don't.
So you just don't focus on the money,
Don't.
No don't you focus on the money,
Don't.
Don't only focus on the money,
Don't.
'I feel funny when I don't have any money.'
Don't focus on the money,
Don't.
Don't only focus on the money,
Don't.
Don't you only focus on the money,
Don't.
Don't keep your focus on the fact that you always stay broke.
Don't focus on the money,
Don't.
Don't only focus on the money,
Don't.
Don't stay focused on the money,
Don't!
Don't keep your focus on the fact that you always stay broke.
Don't focus on the money,
Don't.

Alcohol
At one peg of drink,
The fatigue is shed,
At two, shame is shut,
At three, stress is out.
And still more,
Your name is lost.
Is the drink much bad?

Woes Versus Rues IV
Our veiled words
And adamant liaison
"Where are they? "
I asked myself, I ask you
Knowing full that I have changed
Under a stronger harlequinade
I no longer recognize the mirrors
Or the aborted reticence
Even in your generosity
I guess we've lost the man,
Who named you once
"Sybella, the lady of secrets."

Hypocrisy to the core
“Dear, see him, a distinguished guest.”
She introduced to her husband the man,
Who came to their son’s wedding.
“Son, he is, whose younger sister was
my playmate in my school days”
Son and father bowed their heads in respect.
She and the man reminisced their
Teenage romance and infatuation.
I was a personal witness
How hypocritical the world is!

He Marches On
Focus now.
Focus now.
Where are we going.
So lost again.
Each idea sits one by one.
Which is right.
Which is wrong.
Especially with a head so gone.
Drained and dry.
Then again the source comes alive.
These' a cop and there's a bribe.
Shake hands when the dirty deal is done.
How can you do that?
Property still intact.
Torn up and converted.
An invisible object that has no meaning.
An broken agreement.
A pack with a devil.
And he marches on.

The left behind is the casualty
The lover is sad
When he leaves his sweet heart.
He will be sadder
When she vacates the premises
To be left behind is more sorrowful
Than to leave the dear one..

The harmless recreation
However chaste a woman
Is in heart of heart,
She longs for attention of men,
Admiration from chosen ones
And infatuation with desired one
When chances are at hand.
No harm, for, beyond that,
The qualm will have its roll..
Journey is mattered,
Not the destination.

Aim high, to live high
Having chased a bull is more a valour
Than capturing a mule.
Having aimed at a lion is more chivalrous
Than maiming a hare.
Having lost to an angel is far better
Than courting a devil.
To win over the heart of the virtuous is manly rather
Than being with the randy woman.
To dive for a pearl is a better venture
Than fishing from the bank.
So I prefer losing you to getting any.
I prefer loving you to being loved by any.

No permanent lover
When each dress I bought
I thought it was the best
That I had ever bought.
When each woman I love
I believe she is the dearest
That I have ever met.
Today stands the best
Till tomorrow replaces it.
No love is exc; usive.

Franks 2000 Tv
Risin above the city, blocking out the noonday sun
It dwarfs the mighty redwoods and it towers over everyone
I still remember when that delivery truck came down our block
What a lucky guy, I hear he got the last one in stock
And the neighbors are just green
They say, thats the biggest screen weve ever seen!
Its franks 2000 tv (franks 2000 tv)
Everbody come and see(franks 2000 tv)
Franks 2000 tv (franks 2000 tv)
Thats franks remote control, you can look, but dont touch it, please
cause franks the one in charge and he decides what everybody sees
The pictures crystal clear and everything is magnified
Robert deniros mole has got to be ten feet wide
Everybody in the town
Can hear those 90,000 watts of dolby sound
And Im mighty proud to say
Now I can watch the simpsons from thirty blocks away
On franks 2000 tv (franks 2000 tv)
Everybody come and see (franks 2000 tv)
Franks 2000 tv (franks 2000 tv)
Everybody come and see (franks 2000 tv)
Im gonna get one of my own real soon
Its like having a drive-in movie in your own living room
Whoa, hey now... hey now na na na now
Hey now... hey now na na now
Franks 2000 tv (franks 2000 tv)
Everybody come and see (franks 2000 tv)
Franks 2000 tv (franks 2000 tv)
Got a two year warranty on parts and labor
Franks 2000 tv (franks 2000 tv)

2000 Miles
Theres something I need to say
Im not sad youre gone away no way
Wont be calling information
Or waiting at the railway station
You walked out of my front door
I wasnt then but now Im sure
I need to be at least 2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
Had to get me to the church on time
To say that silly I do I do nursery rhyme
Youve been bitching at me for awhile
Say hey now baby dont you cramp my style
Dont go beating me like that
Im glad I wont be coming back
I need to be at least 2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you

Laugh, a tonic
Heart-full laughs
And mouth-full smiles
Relieve you awhile
From stress of the muscles,
And put at rest your adrenals,
Which otherwise will gnaw
All your glands then and there.

Alone was I born.

If I am left alone

Chemical Smile
She lost her focus yesterday
She lost her focus in the sun
She sits and stares at it for hours
She says she likes to go outside
She gets hung up on the wind
She gets lost inside the happy noise
Sometimes I dont understand her
Sometimes I dont want to understand her
She says no no no no
She dont want no double life
She says I should know why
She seems happier at night
Her color tv and her chemical smile
I dont wanna know the reason
I dont wanna know the reason why
She says
Jesus owes her money
She says
The angels are her friends
What the hell does that mean?
Shes got the chemical smile

Be unassailable
Physical strength for bed,
Intellectual capacity for head,
Emotional maturity for mind,
Aesthetic sensibility for senses,
Human values for heart,
And spiritual depth for soul,
One must develop utmost.
Then the one is unassailable
