The Screen Behind The Mirror

(m.cretu.) .
Heres the mirror
Behind there is a screen
Turn around
On both ways you can get in
The experience of survival
Look around just people, can you hear their voice
Find the one wholl guide you to the limits of your choice
The experience / of survival
Try to think about it ...
Thats the chance to live your life and discover
Try to think about it
The experience of survival
The experience ...
The experience of survival
The experience ...

Sonnet -On Experience

One cannot learn from experience always,
For Knowledge is a sea; experience, Lake;
Some learn the same in hours or weeks or days;
Some never do all life, forever fake.

Experience implies one had done mistakes;
It is much wiser to learn from others;
To forget knowledge too, experience makes;
A continued process, it is, brothers.

Experience can't vouchsafe a man is wise;
And wisdom comes to one who God well loves;
Too much of experience could turn a vice.
All need not see the burst of bombs or stoves.
By experience, no man should turn haughty,
Nor should he try to be with peers, naughty.

Experience

Education is not experience.
Experiment is not experience.
A going through is experience.
Durable are you by experience.

Mysterious Mahanadi Vavroovahana Patra

Mother Mahanadi is beautiful;
All creatures on the river are delightful.
Flows from time immemorial on Earth;
Birds fly on the river with mirth.

On the river bank my village looks beautiful;
People of Brah manakhanda are delightful.
My village brothers are innocent;
In them plays waves of merriment.

I have played on my sweet loving river;
Penned many poems with pleasure.
Mother’s affection attracts me gaily;
Derive peace affectionatinely.

My mother looks beautiful;
All people are delightful.
All companions are gleeful;
All creatures are peaceful.

Mother’s blessings showers on all villages daily;
All people enchant gaily.
The cosy sandy bed is peaceful;
All comrades are delightful;

All companions sing songs gaily;
All comrades pray god gaudily.
The beauty of the river is ever lasting;
People on the river are enchanting.

We All Come To Experience 'Our' Truths

We all come to experience 'our' truths.
We all come to experience,
Realities lived others may not accept.
Or come to believe,
If they are not there to witness.
Or see as they sit to observe life pass by,
From a closed window and behind locked doors.

We all experience our own sorrows...
With burdens to bear and struggles to conquer.
And yet there will be some among the 'doubters'...
Who believe nothing happens to anyone but themselves.
And when they experience a pinch of pain to feel,
It becomes worthy of a news broadcast...
To appeal with the getting of attention on their griefs.

We all come to experience 'our' truths.
We all come to experience,
Realities lived others may not accept.
Or come to believe,
If they are not there to witness.
And yet...
Highlighted are the most ridiculous afflictions,
Repeatedly for all to witness close up on TV sets.

I wish I could give you a lot of advice, based on my experience of winning political debates. But I don't have that experience. My only experience is at losing them.

Fundamental ideas are not a consequence of experience, but a result of the particular constitution and activity of the mind, which is independent of all experience in its origin, though constantly combined with experience in its exercise.

Delicious Concoctions

Sweet, delicious concoctions
How delightful it is to see
Brought together by the platefuls
Just for you and me

Sticky and delightful
Chocolate of every color
Ah yes, Valentine’s Day
It is a holiday like no other

Forget about the diet
Just for about a day
For celebrating this holiday
Candy is usually the way

Brownies are delicious too
And such a joy to eat
Once again fill your plate
Of these awesome delicious treats

For Valentine’s Day is only
A once a year event
I can’t think of a better way
For my day to have been spent!

Experience Reality Living Memories Erased

experience is life real raw felt first hand ingrains
experience witnessed is etched into landscapes
experience witnessed stretches into far horizons

disasters holocaust plagues beyond comprehensions
acceptances tolerances tested beyond pain thresholds
normality security shelter food resources possessions

experience memory disaster to told children passes
experience more distant to told grandchildren passes
experience reality legend myth fable forgotten fades
three generations fades forgotten from living memories

Nature and Man

She wants to be experienced and known
Need his solitude, wants Him to be alone
Nature is bold, clear and manifesting
While Man opaque with fears and hauntings
View how She drapes everyday with sunshine
Hitting Him, effecting Him, so sharp and define
She makes things bright, whether huge or small
Nature is free, owned by none, yet enjoyed by all.

Have you ever taken in the sun?
Can experience only some of it, don't know how it begun
But a Child let its rays in to reach his heart
She (nature) smiles & says, 'He's still my part
He is still pure, and in harmony
Sees through sunlight and feels sunny.'

(Nature to man)
Come to Me in woods and experience true self
You feel age free and borderless
Feel My presence all around you
You and I as one, make a special brew
Our accord is the most beautiful delight
My principle is moderation, I never excite
I have delightful days and melancholic times
Nothing in world is in perpetual prime
But My (nature) contempt with you (man) takes a start
You will be consumed by your fire, take a halt
I would remain here without my companion
My moments less complete, my sky more glum.

Pray Before You Die

So REMEMBER
You will not experience hunger,
you will not experience hatred,
you will not experience love, but dont worry God has already provided it.
You will be free from lives miserable duties, the corrupt nation of your government.

Yes you will be forgotten and some wont even think of your existance yet some will make use of you.

Its De-lovely

I feel a sudden urge to sing the kind of ditty that invokes the spring
So, control your desire to curse while I crucify the verse
This verse Ive started seems to me the tin pan-tithesis of melody
So to spare you all the pain, Ill skip the darn thing and sing the refrain
The night is young, the skies are clear
And if you want to go walkin, dear
Its delightful, its delicious, its de-lovely
I understand the reason why
Youre sentimental, cause so am i
Its delightful, its delicious, its de-lovely
You can tell at a glance what a swell night this is for romance
You can hear, dear mother nature murmuring low let yourself go
So please be sweet, my chickadee
And when I kiss ya, just say to me
Its delightful, its delicious, its delectable, its delirious,
Its dilemma, its de limit, its deluxe, its de-lovely
You can tell at a glance what a swell night this is for romance
You can hear dear mother nature murmuring low let yourself go
So please be sweet, my chickadee
And when I kiss ya, just say to me
Its delightful, its delicious, its delectable, its delirious,
Its dilemma, its de limit, its deluxe, its de-lovely

There is a fundamental difference between the Polish experience of the state and the Russian experience. In the Polish experience, the state was always a foreign power. So, to hate the state was a patriotic act.

Wicked Teacher

Experience a wicked teacher
You push us into test
And examine our stuff
Before you begin to teach

How rigid you are
Your lessons linger on
Your scars never fade
Your memory ever fresh

Experience a wicked teacher
You don’t care about age
You teach the young
And warn the old

Experience a wicked teacher
You don’t pity our scars
But leave us with time
To bind our wound

Experience a wicked teacher
You never stop your test
Often we dodge it
But to meet it ahead.
