The cheapest is advice
Donor is happier than the receiver;
Cheaper than water anywhere
Is advice, free of cost, unasked.
In its balance sheet, there is no loss.
Always is gain, the ego of donor.

Giving is pleasure.
The donor is happier than the recipient
As his hands place above the recipient’s..
Donor’s ego and recipient’s hands are full.
The giver remembers longer though.

Talisman
The studs worn by her are more fortunate
Than their donor, with their sanctity
To touch her. What sensation can they feel?
The donor can feel but is barred to touch.
No matter.
It is a talisman,
for her he has given.

God’s balance sheet
In God’s balance sheet
There is no profit, no loss.
The profit in your balance sheet
Tallies with the loss elsewhere.

The art of creation, a higher pleasure
To read a story, to listen a song,
To stare at an art are the source of joy.
To write a story, to compose a song,
To carve an art are the peaks of joy joy.
Be a creator, a donor or a lover
to rejoice more than their recipients.

Being wise and fool
Big gain big loss is a risk.
No gain no loss is secure.
Small gain small loss is safe.
Small gain no loss is wise.
Big gain no loss is luck
Small gain big loss is a foolery.
We have recourse to all these
Somewhere sometime impulsively.

Water, advice, and salt unasked for should not be given.
The only truly anonymous donor is the guy who knocks up your daughter.

Donors
You should always try to be donor
No joy in remaining as acceptor
Donor always has joy of giving
Acceptor has to do it for surviving
One has upper hand and others not
He has enough to distribute in a lot
Luck has afforded him to donate
Others have woes and only to relate
You should be kind and have lion’s heart
Only hollow words don’t make you smart
You should have sympathy and generosity
Enough resources to sustain and not simple pity
Nature too has enough to give
Lot more to offer and to survive
She can’t be different in nature
World is too dependent on her for future
Donate whole heartedly and forget
Live peacefully and allow others to let
You may have talent and gifted resources
Think of others as lovely and useful forces
No one can survive merely on donation
Neither can it build happy relation
Nor it can over come complete negation
It is simple try and thrust for elevation
It is good to stand for common man
Good feelings may be considered as humane
It is not the amount or quantity that is offered
But how much you felt for others who has suffered?
Charity is not limited to human being alone
Not enough is done to the affected ones in cyclone
Medicines needed for innumerable unknown diseases
Paucity of funds worsens the situation and not eases
Humanity may not die and will definitely survive
All the steps will be taken and efforts to revive
It is not that the donor has only feeling and gesture
Commoner too has to contribute and make it sure
It is rightly said charity begins at home
Many beautiful cities have come up like Rome
Millions might have contributed in their drive
Reality comes only………………

The pitiable old
Orphans are fed; the handicapped are fed;
The destitute are fed but not are the old,
Because the old will soon die and won’t be there
To remember the act of the donor.

Good Advice Is Free
Looking up and down the street,
Before one goes across...
May save one's life without the strife.
And prevent paying a cost.
This advice is free.
This advice is free.
No matter what it is one thinks,
Agony is mean.
Nah, nah, nah-nah.
Before you pout and give me looks,
About something I say.
Open up your ears a moment,
Don't push me away.
This advice is free.
This advice is free.
No matter what you think of me...
I'm not your enemy.
Nah, nah, nah-nah.
Why do people get offended,
By a truth that's told.
But lies they seem to cling onto,
And then sell their own souls.
To leave them feeling...so low!
This advice is free.
No fee paid.
This advice is free.
No matter what expense is paid,
Good advice is free.
Nah, nah, nah-nah.
Nah, nah, nah-nah.
Why do people get offended,
By a truth that's told.
But lies they seem to cling onto,
And then sell their own souls.
To leave them feeling....so low!
This advice is free.
No fee paid.

No matter what expense is paid,
Good advice is free.
Nah, nah, nah-nah.
Nah, nah, nah-nah.

And prevent paying a cost.

Good advice is free.
Good advice is free.
No matter what you think of me...
Good advice is free.
Good advice is free.
No fee paid.
Good advice is free.
No matter what expense is paid,
Think of preventing the agony.
Nah, nah, nah-nah.
Nah, nah, nah-nah.
Nah, nah, nah-nah, nah-nah NAH!

A sperm donor
As a sperm donor, what pride can I have?
Neither the world nor I know who's my child.
It's like the novel without the author's name
Printed; here the autor can knows it is his.

Is religion real?
Metaphysics tells us
What we see is unreal,
What we cannot see is real.
We spend energy and time
On the God unseen,
At the cost of things seen.
We die with that faith, guided by religions

Father 2
You are not my father.
You are nothing to me but my sperm donor.
I cannot even look at you without hatred.
You are the reason I am like this.
You pushed me too far
You made me hate my mother
When it was you I should of hated

Provision for bad debts.
Even a candle can dispel darkness.
No need, must there be a thousand watts.
Any woman can disturb any man around.
Infidelity is bound to take place.
Give provision for bad deeds
As balance sheet provides for debts.

They demand.
Suppress not;
Set free not;

Love is a game
A test cricket is meant
not for a win or loss.
Even the weakest team
has momentary feats
in individual performances.
The game provides interest
throughout. So is love game.
