The society- incorrigible
Truth: the most respected,
But the least cared for
.
Wealth: the least appreciated,
But the most sought after
.
Brothel: the most condemned
But the vast practiced.
Adultery: the most sinful
But the most eventful.
Do you have any cord
Between your deed and word?
Ego builds up the society;
Instincts disrupt it.

Late revelation
Great man writes their autobiography,
On their tether end, on growing fearless
To the society, to show the society
How dare he has been to defy it.

Merit has no merit.
No scandal ends in adultery.
No adultery traces to scandal.
Meritorious companions meet
And fall apart before they unite.
Under indenture adultery succeeds.

Happy moments
Whenever there is privacy
You are liberal with your instincts.
When it is coupled with secrecy
You are double liberal with it
There lies your soul’s intimacy,
Which gives you a sense of ecstasy.

Sonnet: Men Collude in Sin
Some mortal sins are of convenience,
Like adultery, murder and false-witness
Between two individuals or more; hence
People commit them without harness.
The devils link the minds amongst sinners,
To sign a pact of mutual sinful ‘joy’;
And soon turn out to be real winners,
While sinful souls imagine they enjoy!
The bond grows stronger with the passing time;
The sinful habit turns now addiction;
The partners sin in almost any clime;
Until the devils bring on them affliction.
But lo! Tis late for remorse, repentance;
’Tis time for God to pronounce His sentence.

Death brings the reality
Socrates was posthumously rewarded.
Hitler was posthumously condemned.
Who of them lived in comfort?
Are their spirits are aware of the aftermath?

Don’t be a waste
It is a must that you must get
Wealth, skill or knowledge adequate,
To deliver to mass around
Else, you are left as a waste

Wealth is not the tool of love.
With wealth,
You can buy a dog,
With it, can you, its tail?
Showing wealth,
Woo not a woman.
It makes her poor.
Mind,
If you adjust to a set
You cannot adjust it.
If you move to bend to one
You cannot bend the one.
See,
You find a way
Or you make a way,
Otherwise, sooner
You are out of way.
Recall,
Only for two things
Do you worry:
To get is the one.
To get rid of, the other.

The rapprochement of peoples is only possible when differences of culture and outlook are respected and appreciated rather than feared and condemned, when the common bond of human dignity is recognized as the essential bond for a peaceful world.

No fence to a mind
There are guards everywhere,
At home, in the yard, thoroughfare,
Working place, host’s premises,
To be against corporal adultery.
Not guardable is the adultery by mind.
To be virtuous in body
And to be libidinous in spirit
Is nothing but hypocritical.

Non-working class is in minority
Wise men are in minority.
Teachers, Scholars and philosophers.
The society must value the minority
Then it will grow to prosperity.

Want-less is richness
Richness is in fewness of wants.
Richness is in paucity of wants.
Massiveness of wealth is not the scale.
Richer is a hermit than a king.

Love and Lust.
Beena,
I sought after you for your flesh
But you freely gave me your heart.
Now I feel shy to touch your flesh
Love from you ate away my lust.

Earn more women to brood on
You can reminisce on your past,
The wealth earned, the issues begotten,
The power wielded, the battles won,
The skills employed, the good done.
None is at par with the reminiscence
Of women whose hearts you had won.

The Cross is for woman
the allegations run like these:
Princess Diana committed adultery.
Prince Charles was vilified.
President Clinton committed adultery.
Hillary Clinton was glorified.
Woman only must bear the Cross.

Why the married life?
Men are beasts for whom the society
has been woven.
Women are kept in watch and ward by
men against men.
Men have a capacity for morality.
That keeps up the survival of married
life.
Men have an inclination for adultery.
That makes necessary the married life.

The Word and the Deed
THE Word was first, says the revelation:
Justice is older than error or strife;
The Word preceded the Incarnation
As symbol and type of law and life.
And always so are the mighty changes:
The word must be sown in the heart like seed;
Men's hands must tend it, their lives defend it,
Till it burst into flower as a deathless Deed.
The primal truth neither dies nor slumbers,
But lives as the test of the common right,
That the laws proclaimed by the sworded numbers
May stand arraigned in the people's sight.
The Word is great, and no Deed is greater,
When both are of God, to follow or lead;
But, alas, for the truth when the Word comes later,
With questioned steps, to sustain the Deed.
Not the noblest acts can be true solutions;
The soul must be sated before the eye,
Else the passionate glory of revolutions
Shall pass like the flames that flash and die.
But forever the gain when the heart's convictions,
Rooted in nature the masses lead;
The cries of rebellion are benedictions
When the Word has flowered in a perfect Deed.

Sonnet XIV: Alas, Have I Not
Alas, have I not pain enough, my friend,
Upon whose breast a fiercer gripe doth tire,
Than did on him who first stole down the fire,
While Love on me doth all his quiver spend,
But with your rhubarb words you must contend,
To grieve me worse, in saying that desire
Doth plunge my well-form'd soul even in the mire
Of sinful thoughts, which do in ruin end?
If that be sin which doth the manners frame,
Well stayed with truth in word and faith of deed,
Ready of wit and fearing nought but shame:
If that be sin which in fix'd hearts doth breed
A loathing of all loose unchastity,
Then love is sin, and let me sinful be.

Adultery at one’s wills.
Proximity promotes adultery
But not necessarily.
Opportunities encourage adultery
But not necessarily.
Necessities warrant adultery
But not necessarily.
Baits contribute to adultery
But not necessarily.
Adultery is no more than a theft
Which will happen with one’s wills.

Promise
Those words strike a cord,
a cord so true.
A cord so familiar,
it sounds so much like you.
Did I leave you behind,
I can't really tell.
For in this landscape,
there is no more wishing well.
A good thing or bad,
let time unveil itself,
Hopefully in time, I stand before you,
as a person of wealth.
