Traits of intelligence
Some are speakers, some writers.
Some are workers, some leaders.
No one is four in one.
Choose, accordingly, the profession.

Ego-centric Growth
Writers outnumber readers.
Speakers exceed listeners.
Leaders run after followers.
Thanks to ego-centric growth.

Be free
A follower is a slave.
A leader is a rogue.
Neither, you choose to be.
Then you are open to view.

Sonnet: Choose The Things in Your Life
0 choose your friend who must be good as you;
And choose your spouse better than you; make sure;
And choose the one best as your Teacher too;
And choose ambitions that suit your nature.
0 choose the profession thats truly best;
And choose the hobbies that ne'er interfere;
And choose your Time to begin work, take rest;
And choose your enemies, you surely fear.
0 choose your food that gives extended health;
And choose your garments -comfortable wear;
And choose the honest way to added wealth;
And choose the burden right, body can bear.
0 choose the people who deserve help most;
And choose good principles, yet never boast.

The Law Of The Few
too many speakers
and few of the doers
too many workers
less of the thinkers
too many visions
so few implemented
so many men and women
yet few are human.

Twenty Zero One
2001 - where do I belong
I got my mind but I dont know where my head has gone
2001 - baby where you been
Its pornographic, internet, traffic on my screen
2001 - shes just a maniac
Its not for me but my baby really needs a crack
2001 - dont want the sex to stop
I took a pill now its killing me to keep it up
2001 - I know whats goin on
You wanna take my soul and change it for another one
2001 - those liquid crystal eyes, they really suit you honey
Let me get them in your size
2001 - by 2032 you can be me, and with a little luck
I can be you
2001 - let me bless you son
Help you believe with my semi-automatic gun

Forget time and space
When bound by time,
When bound by space,
In doing a thing,
You feel tense.
Rid of time and space,
In doing a thing,
You are at ease.
To run within a track,
To end within a time
Breed all the tension.
Some swim, some drift,
Some float. You choose.

Ego- evil cum good
From this world,
You have to go.
I have to go.
Every one does.
Then, must not our ego go
before we go?
Often we go
Because our ego defies to go.
Ego is there to defend.
It is there to offend too.

Film and woman for man
Some, we ignored to see.
Some, we cursed having seen.
Some, we remember having seen.
Some, we desire to see again.
Some, we lose interest to see later..

Four Main Types of Writers (personal opinion)
The Lonely Writer
Some writings tell me
This person is lonely
And is reaching out
For the touch of a friendly comment
These writers are sad, solitary,
Isolated, but good persons
And quite often very good writers
The needy juvenile writer
Some writings contain words
Or language meant to shock
And to offend.
These writers are lonely also
But in a different way.
These writers are simply saying
Like a little child
“hey! I exist! Someone better
Acknowledge me! ”
These writers can often write well
But usually don’t, can’t, or choose not to
The Spite Writer
This writer can be of either gender
But seems to be in a female majority
They’ve been spurned or rejected
Two-timed or lied to.
And they are going to vent their ire
In the most public way they can.
These writers can also be very good writers
But too often let their anger get in the way.
The Religious Writer
These writers show people passionate
And zealously devoted to singing the praises
Of the Lord and goodness and charity.
They’re probably austere, honest people
Who almost always write very well.
For the most part these writers seem
To want to spread the word and
At the same time tend to be rather singular
In the subject matter of their writings,
Rarely attempting other genres.

Life is yours
Birth is not your right.
Death is not your right.
So is your creed and feature.
Life is yours. Live it.

Chances are the first causes
A lighthouse is powerful,
more by its reflectors.
A man is popular,
more by chances.
Be not proud of what you are.

The more branches, the more the life is
If you cut the laterals, the tree grows taller.
Many leaders do not allow laterals to grow.
But there is the danger of the tree turning to a stump.
Yet the leaders refuse to learn from the legacy.

Havoc of beauty.
He had many friends.
They offered him help.
They showered him with gifts.
His wife knows it is for her face.
He will understand it lately.

Be a provider, to love.
Some one strong, big or rich
Only, a woman wants,
For thrust, hold and comfort.
Least is a handsome man.

Fashion
Can you define fashion?
It is the one that replaces the present
with a previous one.
The oldest become newer than new.

Conduct the urge
Hunger is there,
Sleep is there,
Sex is there,
In your gene.
They demand.
Suppress not;
Set free not;
Conduct them.

Society- a necessary evil.
Society is resistant.
But for it, where is your pride?
Without it, where is identity?
In privacy, where is intimacy?
You can’t walk without resistance.

Every flower has bloom
The bud, yours is tomorrow.
The flower, yours is today.
The withered, yours was yesterday.
Every cat has a day.
Hope, joy and reminiscence stay.

Life is a cycle
Everything is bound to boomerang.
Only when it will, matters.
In a cycle, no end, no beginning,
You reach where from you had started.
You get what you had sent.
All in cycles, even the molecules.

Poem is the thirst of the poet
Sakuntala was not as much a beauty.
Poet Kalidasa made her so.
He did it to show his mettle
And thirst in his Sakuntalam
