The old are invalid
Trees draw birds
Only till they bear.
Old as you grow,
Isolated you are.
Brew not.

The Beauty breed arrogance
A glamorous woman never cares a man
Though she is set so to draw men’s care
She loves being cared and not vice versa.
Wise men don’t waste time to seek such women.

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..

No more deceiving
Who had been as mad of you as I am?
It is your fortune.
Who were as merciless to me as you are?
It is my misfortune.
I still hate you not and curse you not
But only lick my wounds.
It is you who gave me fire and desire
And made me to rebound.
You are with me in bed as visual aid,
Who alone I fantasize.
Rejection I can bear. Deception who will?
No more deceiving, please.
Until you mend and until you mind
I shall stand to remind.

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.

Lust is life
As a youth, you have enough flare
To draw women and be drawn to them.
Past forty, you gain much flair
To seek women than being sought.
Past sixty, you regain much flair
To corner women but get no response..
You end as a voyeur in the end.
With that your worldly pleasure ends.

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

Being lonesome
Alone was I born.
Alone will I be gone.
In between on stage
If I am left alone
Why am I forlorn?

Human is different
I’ll grow, blossom and bear before I die,
Every plant wishes.
I’ll grow, mate and beget before I die,
Every animal wishes.
I’ll show that I grow, own and bear till I die,
Human being strangely wishes.

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?

Reverence brings resonance
Whether you have God or not,
You should have someone to revere.
Unless you have reverence
You can’t find any resonance,
For healthy mind and aura.

Advice to young women!
Be alert to strange men!

Others will handle you.
What to be?
Be a rose or a thorn
As you please.
Accordingly,
Others will treat you.
Be an apple or a knife
As you please.
Accordingly,
Be a deer or a lion
As you please.
Accordingly,
Others will befriend you.
How you are
Thus they are.

Mount Everest is in north,
An Indian will say.
It is in south, a Chinese will say.
Neither is correct to the one in the space.

One dies when set free
Caged dogs grow ferocious.
Harnessed men grow lascivious,
Shackled women grow amorous.
Freed sex will sedate all.

Potency counts
The infertility yields no baby
But still hold versatility in bed.
The infertile and the impotent differ
In that the latter deny sex as well.

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 suppressed passion
Women, often, refuse to succumb
To the lust of their higher ups
Who are admirable though,
Not that they loathe their heroes
But that they mind their peers.

Two way action
Someone to ride on, and someone to toe to,
Someone to lean on, and someone to play,
Someone to admire, and someone to despise,
Some to sway on, and someone to obey to,
One longs for alike, else one is in disarray.

Chance is the might
We were all the time in their court
But it is they who scored the winning goal
By a solitary flitter, straight at our post.
Yes, the chance is mightier than the might.
