The gentleman
A gentle man is who makes petty sacrifices.
He has an eye for sacrifices in return.
He never hurts nor pleases unintentionally.

A hare after the carrot
It behoved me to do petty sacrifices
To those women whose attentions I got,
Without knowing that they have held me
Like a hare running after the carrot.

How I Am For The Freedom God Has Given Me
God wants to remove all your doubts concerning who brings the victory in your life.We fear-sacrifices. But the thing is that we also make what sacrifices. When we are not living in the will of God.

While I do not hesitate to applaud certain aspects of the resolution honoring the sacrifices of our courageous soldiers who are risking their lives in Iraq, I cannot be supportive of capitalizing on these very sacrifices for political gain.
Ultimate Sacrifices Justified
"determination need to succeed
I will die before I fail
or die trying I concede
no other choices available
sacrifices must be made
all necessary hardships endured
crucial events demand
ultimate sacrifices"

Invested Heart
Invested heart.
Collect your joy,
From deposits of interests.
Your return is going to be exchanged,
With dividends unexpected!
There were some times
You knew you didn't have to be there.
But you stayed and weathered the storm!
And your reward comes,
Packaged in contentment!
You now know what pleases you...
And your sacrifices have not been in vain!
Invested heart...
Collect your joy!
Do you know of anyone else,
More deserving?

Teacher Privileges
To be a teacher
is a privilege
the appreciation
of any student
humbles honours
us both in respect
true efforts
are rewarded
appreciated
even if often
sometimes
the road is hard
sacrifices made yet still
we run education race
until the end to the best
of our
abilities
to honour
our students
our duties
to parents to God.
Godspeed
to your work
sacrifices.

The Poor’s assets
Love dwells where the poor live.
Mutual helps, barter of things,
Togetherness and sacrifices
Would eliminate the need of wealth.

Clean Slates
Upon this journey that we labor,
With sacrifices done.
Can we afford to stop and languish,
Satisfied some battles fought have been won?
Perceptions stuck in shallow conceptions...
Remain in a sustaining reality of rejections,
And this has not succeeded.
Upon this journey that we labor,
With sacrifices done.
Some have come to rejoice
A clearing provided by the Sun.
Others bring along reminders,
Of challenges that seem not to soothe.
They must be left,
With lives they accept.
The rest must keep on the move!
This can't be contemplated.
Upon this journey that we labor,
With sacrifices done.
Diversity of flavors tasted,
Can benefit the outlooks of everyone!
A clearing ahead is there to clean slates!
Hesitating to prepare,
Will stagnate and seal an aborted fate!
This energy depletes those who still reach.
Those who dare to climb valleys and touch peaks!

Ask Myself
After many years of writing,
I used to ask myself all the time
was it really worth it all the sacrifices I gave.
The answer is now easy
and it is a three-letter word.
That little word is yes.
I may not have untold riches,
a posh car or a big house.
I have something more precious;
I can help all those in need.
Through my work,
I can teach humanity
of man-to-man or woman-to-woman,
whichever the case may be.
In addition, I no longer ask myself
if my sacrifices were in vain.

Eternally Yours
I don't want

I rather

in return
for the eternal
meeting
with you
in the
next life
That was
my greatest

for my only
love

Heroic Sacrifices To Achieve Poems
people adore poets artists from imaginative distances
romanticism myths stereotypes not reality still life realism
reality intrudes no shower shave writing in cold hot rooms
body boiling ripening as fast as sought poetic images
all sacrifices necessity endured by minds hearts souls
laying down life itself in heroic sacrifices to achieve poems

At the alter of fashion
Being a temptress is woman’s desire.
She makes sacrifices at the alter of fashion,
However hard it might be to adopt it,
By suffering excruciating pain.

It Is A Leech
A leech feeding,
Could care less off of what it feeds.
It is a leech.
Feeding to satisfy its own need.
To do what it pleases...
Eat to feed itself to then move on.
And anyone observing a leech in action,
Is not going to convince that leech to share.
The awareness of the leech doing that is not there.
A leech feeding,
Could care less off of what it feeds.
It is a leech.
Feeding to satisfy its own need.
To do what it pleases...
Eat to feed itself to then move on.
It is a leech!
Born and taught to exist for what it is!
It is not a care provider.
Or a nourishing vegetable,
Loaded with beneficial vitamins...
Benefiting the mind and physical wellbeing of mankind.
No,
It is not!
It is a leech.
That's it.
Defined by its own circumstances.
And programmed to identify,
What it has to do to survive.
And once it knows what it is,
It is not going to be anything else.
No matter how lengthy the therapy sessions.
Or the sacrifices others make...
When the activities of the leech begins to become outsourced.
A leech is a leech!
Nothing more.

Republic Day of India
Let's celebrate Republic Day
With pomp and splendour
With brothers and sisters
But never forget
To remember
Remember the Freedom struggle
Remember the sacrifices of soldiers
The great freedom fighters
Remember the sacrifices of leaders
The great sons of the soil
Who died for the country
Fighting together
To attain freedom
Let's pay homage from heart's bottom
To the great dedicated sons
Who laid their lives into flame
Without name and fame
For the mother land
Joining hand in hand
With fellow citizens

Healing Has Its Sacrifices
Aching from pain hurts.
To numb and release from the origin...
Isn't easily done.
Not for the one,
Trying to find a solution...
To overcome from the affects.
Since the stinging of it seems to sit.
A direct weakness,
Clinches on as if bitten...
By sharp sinking teeth.
To free from this is a wish.
And it takes time!
Until the mind decides...
Either to harden or forgive.
To be frequently revisited,
By the appearance of embitterness.
At the expense of someone innocent.
Or...
One can choose to let go!
Of any feelings ever felt.
And to do one's best,
To forget ever having them!
Disconnecting to regret nothing.
In a recovery one justifies.
Healing has its sacrifices.
And life without sorrows to relive...
Is a gift when it comes.
To deliver happiness again.
With a choice one makes that remains.
Regardless of the circumstances.
