Worry comes as invited.
Go, where you are sought
Rather than where you want to be.
Ignore who ignores you.
Desire one who desires you.
Avoid who repels you.
There’ll be no worry to toy with.

Despair, nevertheless
First deserve;
Then desire.
Will the desire hear it
To avoid despair?

No neglects
Ignore who ignore you.
Seek who seek you.
Be in company of ones who
Desire you, though lowly.
Don’t look up at balcony
Where from you’re seen small.
No neglect is cast.

Be not vigilant of your mate.
I love my wife and desire my desk mate.
My wife loves me and desires my
colleague.
Unaware of the other’s this desire,
We lead a harmonious life. Be it so.

The way to suit you
To ignore who ignores you
Will spare you humiliation.
To heed who ignores you
Will spare you isolation.
Follow what will suit you.

The Voices
why do i worry, what do they think?
what is she saying to them?
i can't ignore anything.
you're eating up my world
like my every second was haunted.
were you just like this since you were a girl,
cause it's all i've ever wanted.
i'm just like you,
peel away the layers two by two.
you're just like me,
piling on the pressure three by three.
we're almost done
shutting out the voices one by one.
why do i worry, what do they think?
what is she telling her friends?
i can't ignore anything.
i'm planning out my moves
like my every second was graded.
i'm obsessed, i get no rest.

Less pollination
.
The man who is mean [money]
Repels women.
The woman who is greedy [things]
Repels men.
That is why there is
Less pollination.

Ways of living
Help a friend who didn’t ask you;
Bow to saint who didn’t want it;
Love woman who didn’t ignore you;
Ignore one who does not need you

Discover God
None of these men ever cared.
Not one of them ever meant well.
These mortals cannot liberate you.
From the burning, the churning of Hell.
But see, my child, I'm a prophet.
I'm all that you'll ever need.
Remove yourself from these traitors.
Who refuse to bend knee to me.
Deny me, and you shall be punished.
Ignore all desires and bow.
Your heart will tempt you with happiness.
Nothing but a pestilence now.
So please, my child, stand before me.
So I may swallow you down.
Avoid the nonbelievers.
My holiness taught you so well.
Discover God...
He is your only friend.

Mother Theresa's 'Poezia
Release me, oh God,
From the desire to be adored,
From the desire to be exalted,
From the desire to be honored,
From the desire to be applauded,
From the desire to be ranked
From the desire to be sought after for advice,
From the desire to be commended,
From the desire to be famous,
From the fear of being disdained,
From the fear of being disparaged
From the fear of being denounced
From the fear of being repellent
From the fear of being forgotten
From fear of collapsing under dishonesties.
From the fear of being mocked,
From the fear of being suspicioned!
Amen.

Affection is upwards.
I ignore who begs me.
I beg who ignores me.
I pursue who eludes.
I elude who pursues.

Cultivate Desire And Ego
Without desire, the world is dry.
Without ego the life is dry.
Desires promote activities.
Activities bring about taste.
The ego plays in maneuvering.
Maneuvering results in esteems.
Without taste and without esteems,
Being will be a waste of life.
Desires denied, sufferings come.
Esteem beaten, feeling low mounts.
Low risk desire is worth having.
Easy task ego too satisfies.
Desires parting, you are worn out.
Ego falling flat, you are blown out.

Sonnet: Ignore The worldly Man
Ignore the man who goes after the money;
Ignore the man who is after power;
The former looses soon life’s harmony;
The latter turns akin an earth-mover!
Ignore the man who goes after sheer name;
Ignore the man who is after status;
The former ends up in ultimate shame;
The latter suffers the common-man’s curse.
Ignore the man whose heart has selfishness;
Ignore the man with sadistic display;
The former will soon show his uselessness;
The latter cannot go long in this way.
Ignore the man who loves not his neighbor;
God will not love him despite all labor!

Since the Government Has Been Broken
My life,
Has never been a convenience.
It has been a strategic manuevering,
To avoid polarization.
There had been those who attempted,
To block my path with inventive obstacles.
Trying to convince my sense of self,
That my acceptance of who I am...
Was nothing more,
Than a self inflicted sham.
While others who believed I sought attention,
Did their best to ignore my intentions.
And used my skin color as some kind of bait.
To make me feel my fate,
Was in their hands to disintegrate.
Dysfunctions and my choice of interests,
Became for them a focus.
And today these criminal minded beings...
Stand on the edge of an abyss,
As if they are the choice of folks...
To brag about which destruction,
Everyone prefers the most!
My life,
Has never been a convenience.
It has been a strategic manuevering,
To avoid polarization.
Something the country we live in,
Seems not to be able to escape.
Since the government has been broken...
By self interest and debate.

We have not sought this conflict; we have sought too long to avoid it; our forbearance has been construed into weakness, our magnanimity into fear, until the vindication of our manhood, as well as the defence of our rights, is required at our hands.

A Man's Desire In Life
each and everyone has some desire
these desires are endless.
the desire of love-power,
raised him high, very high.
the desire of indifference-power
ragged him down
beyond his imagination.
the desire of thought-power
killed his inner silence.
the desire of money-power
fooled him, his life, his all.
the desire of education-power
made him the best
that's why a man's desire in life
made him to see the world beyond.

Way to the God
‘Which is the way to the heaven? ’
I asked. This the way, the only way,
Said each one whom I sought.
I stopped seeking them for the way.

The Fire
Desire is fire that eats what it lays its tongue on.
It leaps, licks, be aflame, engulfs and guts.
Then too it never dies but lurks as cinders.
Desire is fire and remains from cradles to
graves.

Desire For Success
It's only a start
To reach for your desire's that will set you apart
Just like a thirst
Will never be satisfied even if clouds burst
It's the hunger
That will keep your vision clearer
In life desire for success
Can be a moment to progress
All your aspirations
With the right desire can deepen
Make wish
Before this life is finished
Your desire to change the world
Must inspire everyone
Even if it feels like a fantasy
You should never take it lightly
As some desires you need keep on desiring
It's so amazing to feel
It can't be for real
Just express yourself
There is nothing wrong to Desire for Success

Recognizable
Your desires are within you.
And wherever you go.
Whatever you do.
However that is done,
From your point of view.
Is not a lifelong search,
To impress from lofty perches.
With a deluded hope it comes.
In a contemplated frustrated wait.
What one seeks,
Is not out of reach.
If it is a desire one keeps identified.
However,
Those things sought,
On the outside...
Will never satisfy,
That which is in the inside...
Occupying with an origin not orphaned.
To be always kept recognizable as is.
And shown when it emerges.
As meant to be from where it is delivered.

If Only Wishes Were Horses, Part 3
I wish to wish the wish you wish to wish
But if you wish to wish the wish the witch wishes,
I won't wish to wish the wish you wish to wish.
I'd wish like you - like you do
and the wishes of ours would surely come true
If only wishes were horses!
I dream to dream the dream you dream to dream
But if you dream to dream the dream the dead dream,
I won't dream to dream the dream you dream to dream.
I'd dream like you - like you do
and the dreams of ours would thus come true
If only wishes were horses!
I desire to desire the desire you desire to desire,
But, if you desire to desire the desire the deer desires
I won't desire to desire the desire you desire to desire.
I'd desire like you - like you do
and our desires would really come true
If only wishes were horses!
I choose to choose the shoes you choose to choose,
But, if you choose to choose the shoes the Jews choose,
I won't choose to choose the shoes you choose to choose.
I'd walk in your shoes - your shoes of success
And then I'd have no stress,
If only wishes were horses!
I love to love the love you love to love,
But if you love to love the love the losers love
Then I won't love to love the love you love to love.
I'd love you and the world,
I'd love you more than itself the word,
If only wishes were horses!
I would, anyway, wish or dream or desire or choose or love like you do
BUT it surely would come true
If only, if only, if only wishes were horses!
