The endangered tribes

If someone has helped someone
Which you would hesitate to do,
You must compliment such person
With the words of appreciation.

When someone came to rescue you
Which you would refrain from doing
If you were in his shoes that time,
You must compensate him fairly.

We must identify such men
And nurture them with utmost care,
Even it demands some sacrifice.
Such men are the endangered tribes.

Thanks!

Thanks for all your appreciation
I value it alot
Normally no-one cares
And they all just call me a swat

Thanks for all your appreciation
It's boosted my confidence
Poems are my passion
And stop me putting up a fence

Thanks for all your appreciation
You helped me see sense
Thank you so much
Because most people are against

Thanks for your appreciation
You're the only ones who care
I now beleive in myself
I really do, I swear

Thanks for your appreciation
It really is appreciated
And once again
Thanks to you all
For being so updated

Sacrifice Focus Target Responsibility Goals

true exhaustion
demands respect,
we can work write

in spring fever but
our body demands,
respect care rest

being excessively tired
can be symptom dangerous,
too easily timed out

nurture efficiency
time management skills,
sacrifice focus target

responsibilities goals
complete as necessary,
all far-reaching tasks

all these diverse things
you know and do already,
skills so many will not

use develop properly
take time to complete,
all things professionally

Do I Have To Say The Words?

Rescue me from the mire
Whisper words of desire
Rescue me - darling rescue me
With your arms open wide
Want you here by my side
Come to me - darling rescue me
When this world's closing in
There's no need to pretend
Set me free - darling rescue me

I don't wanna let you go
So I'm standing in your way
I never needed anyone like I'm needing you today

Do I have to say the words?
Do I have to tell the truth?
Do I have to shout it out?
Do I have to say a prayer?
Must I prove to you how good we are together?
Do I have to say the words

Rescue me from despair
Tell me you will be there
Rescue me - darlin rescue me

Every dream that we share
Every cross that we bear
Come to me - darling rescue me

Angels Cry

When you see death,
You know you have to leave this place,
When angels cry,
You know that person is crying,
All you can do is cry for that person,
All you can say is please don't cry,
All you want to do is cry and regret on what you said to that person,
To see that person pass away it breaks your heart,
Wanting to die to be with them,
Somewhere out there you he or she is watching over you,
When angels cry,
You know the person you care about is crying for you,
You feel lost without that person,
Sometimes you wish you can turn back the hands of time just to say goodbye to that person,
Your final words,
When angels cry,
You want to say goodbye,
No regrets, No nothing, that emptyness you feel inside fades away within time.

To my best friend Andrew Ybarra who passed away on March 2,2009.
May he R.I.P.

Headlines (demo 1)

we call ourselves the crown of creation
i wonder what does it mean
we're not the owners of the moon and the earth
it's like a roundabout and it goes round and round for free
we've made some gruesome inventions
yet we're mastered by those systems
we're endangered danger, we're running out of fashion
if we don't care for responsibility, hey-hey
we're endangered danger, we're endangered danger,
we're the headlines today but all that we say is
we're endangered danger,
eric says that we're a lonely species
that's why we're playing the fools
but once we'll enter the aquarian age
i sometimes catch him floating in his swimming-pool, he says
if we'd tune in to our brighter sides
we'd feel like jesus on the waters
cause we're sailors not soldiers so much more for this show
than a guest-appearance in the universe, here we go
we're endangered danger, we're endangered danger,
we're the headlines today but all that we say is
we're endangered danger

You want people to identify with the person on the screen or in the theater, but you don't want them to identify with you as a person.

We Identify...

it is in silence
that we identify
sounds as other than noise!

it is in bondage
that we identify freedom
as more than a dream.

it is in lonliness
that we identify love
as both the path and the journey.

it is in anger
that we identify forgiveness
as the release.

it is in despair
that we identify hope
as one foot after the other.

it is in death
that we identify life
and give it meaning!

Can Never Fade

Love can never fade
As it is not business or trade
We are slaves of sentiments
Some to be shared with joy and some with grief moments

Human being has never been concerned
The table is always turned
Either it is man or woman
But ultimately a loss to human

No one can judge actual reason
It varies from person to person
Some one calls it as betrayal
And someone terms it as disloyal

One thing is sure and certain
Love is dedication and may always cause pain
One should not express it one sided
The severance should be taken as love divided

It results from apprehension and mistrust
It may be purely beauty blind show and lust
Real love may prefer to sacrifice for any reason
But never blame it for silly cause of a person

To endure love is not only difficult
But also a great sacrifice to bear insult
Both have come such close to each other
That it becomes unbearable to live without other

Death has been described best ally of mankind
It ends pain and agony and helps to wind
The death journey when it becomes unbearable
When person losses all faith and becomes incapable

To end the life is an act of cowardice
Love doesn't demand breach of promises
Yet it demands greater degree of appreciation
As everything hangs in balance and relation

I would love to mention here out of context
Love is such holy thing to be kept at its best
No blame from either side should be aired
It is great divine gift from the god and be admired

Insights Into Creation

sometimes art or art appreciation
must come before consumed meal
the moment demands the moments
mystic moment demands spent moments
time learning at her father's knee

Peace demands the most heroic labor and the most difficult sacrifice. It demands greater heroism than war. It demands greater fidelity to the truth and a much more perfect purity of conscience.

Any Good Gesture

You must be grateful for any good gesture
That has been offered to you for sure
Never think big or small for returning obligation
It is so when you are leading a delegation

In every aspect of life it stands tall
No matter how big you are or small
You got to say thank you with welcome
Whatever may be the result or outcome?

Try for a suitable word to reciprocate
If you retain within then it will suffocate
You will be burdened under obligation
That will be enough against personality and lead to negation

If you find no word for appreciation
Try to remain calm with mere reconciliation
Try to show that you care for every move
In times to come you may try and prove

I shall be first person to share grief
Even though I may be silent and brief
But what should I do if I find no expression?
Never mind but stay till the end with session

I shall wait for tears to come to the rescue
If situation becomes demanding and due
I shall speak no words but reciprocate
With smiling face and surely indicate

The words will have to match
Every move must adhere to and catch
The attention of others for fair response
As it will be key to your very much existence

Words are simplest way of carrying people
That may prove how much you are capable
Nothing will mar your success
than in the wake of some setbacks

Like a Tornado

What am I going to accomplish
that will make people think
that I was a good person
How can I justify this
I would like to be remembered as
a good person
but sometimes that is impossible
Sometimes you have hurt more people
than you have helped
I believe that I have helped more people
but sometimes people take things
the wrong way
They can often twist your words like a tornado
which essentially has the same effect
It is destructive and all together
unneeded
But I can't change the way people think
I can only except it

There Will Come A Time!

there will come a time,
when you eat your own flesh,
and drink your own blood...
when the air you breathe
will be filled with smoke and ashes.
when a man will kill a man
for a gallon of gas,
or a jug of water...
there will come a time!

there will come a time,
when you'll sell
your sisters and daughters.
when you'll bury
your mothers and fathers
for their houses.
when you'll burn your faith,
and deny the truth...
there will come a time.

there will come a time,
when you have to choose,
when everything is
all you have to lose.
when you sacrifice yourself,
or sacrifice your children.
when justice demands an answer,
and the world waits at the door...
there will come a time!

and the time is now!

ASong

Many wonders disappear
never to return, so they say-
Tyre's towers, Minerva's spear
Ptolemy's library
And that paragon, the Parthenon
stove by a shell one day
But I don't care, let them disappear,
I don't care, I really don't care.

refrain

So they say, so they say, but I don't care, no
I don't, not a bit, let them go
I don't care at all what is gone or will come
I don't care anyhow.

Even Earth grows old
and trudges a little on her way
Her heart goes limping worn and cold
and duller every day.
Chorister lark is driven out
by starling, hardier kine-
But I care no more, what comes about
Is no concern of mine.

refrain

I woke in the dead of night
from a heaving, foul unrest
Somewheres I knew the Sphinx was a-move
howling and biting her breast
There on the day's rim
fashioning itself in flames
xxx
Rosa-Munda hung.

refrain

Someday a cloud will come
to cover the earth, so they say
There'll be fiery rain and icicle rain
The mountains will dance with the seas.
Famine will enter, counting his ribs
and Death, the equestrian
But I won't fear 'cause I don't care
I don't care, let them come.

refrain

Thanks You

Thanks for always being there for me.
Thanks for that person you helped me to be
Thanks that you never let me be alone
Thanks that forever you promise to be my own
Thanks for black memories you helped me to remove
Thanks for loyalty that every day you prove
Thanks for the smile you put back on my face
Thanks that my loneliness has got no more space
Thanks for your patience that time I was so fool
Thanks you forget that whenever you get my call
If life has got some justice I'd thank you forever
It wouldn't be enough, , , , for the best person ever

What I Appreciate

I appreciate
A person who acknowledge
His or her mistakes
I appreciate a person
Who apologizes
And doesn't hesitate
I appreciate
A person who makes
You believe
What they say because
They mean it truly
I appreciate
A person who keeps their word
After all it's what I deserve
I appreciate
A person who's apology
I can accept
Because it will be sincere
And I can forgive and forget it
I appreciate
Having someone I admire
It is my desire
I appreciate a person
Like this I would
Be truly flattered
For it's important
And to me it matters
So I know you are wondering
Can I do the same thing.....
Absolutely

In Our Small Way

Refrain
Maybe you and I cant do great things
We may not change the world in one day
But we still can change some things today...
In our small way
Empty words are not enough
Where theres hurt well be a crush
When theres thirst well fill each others cup
Because we care we love enough to share
Refrain
Maybe you and I cant do great things
We may not change the world in one day
But we still can change some things today...
In our small way
In despair well be the hope
And the prayer that frees the soul
Well be there to share each lonely road
Because we love, I know
We care enough
Refrain
Maybe you and I cant do great things
We may not change the world in one day
But we still can change some things today...
In our small way
Just a little time is all it takes
What a difference just a smile can make, youll see
Love is all we need
Refrain
Maybe you and I cant do great things
We may not change the world in one day
But we still can change some things today...
In our small way

Self orphaning

When you are under obligations
To take care of, nurse, or rescue your kin,
If you feel it a hardship, and avoid,
Then by those acts you orphan yourself.

Art Consumes Flame Immortal Souls

What is the curse of no time
for any artist for all artists?

Art demands time
all consuming time

times of precise reflection
times of informative focus
times of intense productivity
times of perceptive clarity
times of felt vision testimony
times of account sensitivity
times of passion commentary
times of creative outpourings
times of artistic servitude

means art more demands
than a mere pound of flesh

art demands fibres of our being
art demands neurons identities
art demands touch sound stimuli
art demands light radiant souls
art demands devotes of the mind
art demands paid vision ransoms
art demands intense internal bleeding
art demands pain waltz symphonies
art demands epic universal certainties

art demands artists lifetime creations
art consumes flame immortal souls

I And Dentify

Love, Suffer, Patient, Kind
And never bow - jealousy
Earth, Selfish, No angry
No memory won't, separate my wicked ways
Reach for the sky, Don't let it get away
I & Identify - This is what love is.
Reach for the sky, Don't let it get away
I & Identify - This is what love is
Gentle, Purified, Stay true, Protection
Always trusting, Continue hoping,
Conquer, never fail
Reach for the sky, Don't let it get away
I & Identify - This is what love is.
Reach for the sky, Don't let it get away
I & Identify - This is what love is
This is what love is
This is what love is!
Reach for the sky, Don't let it get away
I & Identify - This is what love is.
Reach for the sky, Don't let it get away
I & Identify - This is what love is.
Reach for the sky, Don't let it get away
I & Identify - This is what love is.
This is what love is.
