Doubt

Doubt but fear to attempt but be,
Our doubts are traitors undoubtedly,
In doubt faith subsist in certainty,
But cannot focus on path to victory. [1]

Doubt whom you will, but not self clearly,
If children don’t doubt it be a tragedy,
Belief but ever divides people strongly,
And their doubts unite them resoundingly. [2]

Doubt not a pleasant condition be,
Certainty - a more absurd contingency,
But to reach the point of certainty,
We begin with doubting categorically. [3]

For every seeker of Truth that be,
At least once you doubt all things fully,
Respecting faith without doubt but be,
But with doubt education blooms totally. [4]

Doubt but thought ever but be,
And thought is life unhesitatingly,
Fools and fanatics certain but be,
The wise full of doubt thoughtfully. [5]

Childhood - Youth - Oldage

The three around the fire sitting,
Gossiping of Life and its doings,
Reached a point thought provoking,
Of their journey and life prevailing. [1]

CHILDHOOD:
“Please do not leave me at this time,
Youth, do take me in your prime,
For I an entertainment will but be,
With playful antics in life’s journey.” [2]

YOUTH:
“No! You can not accompany me,
As struggles exist in my journey,
Your playfulantics will but not be,
In my stride of any necessity.” [3]

When on Youth tiredness grows,
Childhood memories do then glow,
But Old Age with its aged face,
Now stares at Youth in this race. [4]

OLDAGE
“Of no use it be to remember him,
You move ahead now in this game,
Childhood once gone never returns,
Forget Childhood - Love me in turn. [5]

Struggling ahead as you had moved,
Your tiredness now I shall remove,
Come on my lap relaxingly do lie,
And sleep with my pleasant lullabies.” [6]

Thinking of Childhood - its payful taps,
The Youth now lies in Oldage’s lap,
Who caressing with weak trembling hands,
Sings cradle songs of eternal sleep grand. [7]

Target

As the Hunter reached its side,
And looked down with full pride,
He exclaimed with joy begot,
How well his target he had got. [1]

The shot deer in throes of death,
Moaned in his last few breaths,
`Understand nature and eternity,
Brother - Just once the target you be.’ [2]

The Nuclear Question

Any act against the constitution,
Must be declared to be but void,
But atomic acts against humanity,
Are the strength to be but tried. [1]

The future of any of the countries,
Does lie way above its people,
And the future of humanity -
On numerous BOMBS so ample. [2]

Apology

Just a second insult be a stiff apology,
As the first - when hurt was the party;
Damages for aggrieved no medicine be,
But healing from hurt - the desire only. -1

Apology an egotism wrong side out surely.
Apology a good way to have last word clearly,
The right sort of people want no apologies,
And the wrong sort take a mean gain cruelly. - 2

A good rule in life - never apologize initially,
Unless accused never defend unnecessarily,
A request or `please’ may surmise firstly,
And never apologize unless you feel sorry. - 3

True remorse but never just a regret be –
Over consequence but over motive truly,
Proper action needs no account definitely,
And any excuse but ever ruins an apology. - 4

An apology - but like a lovely flower be,
Changing the clumsiest moment graciously,
An apology - the superglue of life be,
Repairing just about anything resolutely. - 5

The Certainty Of Life - Death

From the dawn of birth,
Till the eve of death,
From child birth’s cry,
Till man’s death sigh. [1]

Man’s ego rules his mind,
Emotions that he can’t bind,
Fooling himself – all’s sublime,
But that clasp of Death – Its Divine. [2]

Lo how foolish man can be,
What’s definite not think he,
Except of life – its jubilees,
Its sorrows and its miseries. [3]

Death – but that is a certainty,
With ever step approaches he,
But thinking only of supremacy,
Unconquerable as though be he. [4]

Man is born with a cry,
And in lifetime that flies,
He succeeds where others tried,
But with a groan he does die. [5]

Birth and death are much alike,
Two shores of a river’s flight,
As the dawn with its sunlight,
And the dusk approaching the night. [6]

Advice

Knowing the answer advice is asked generally,
Following the same be rare unquestionably,
After giving it do ever be indifferent perfectly,
And never expect it to be followed truthfully. [1]

In giving advice seek to help - not please only,
Most receive advice but profit from it hardly,
Advice received should not be framed clearly,
Its implementation be the solution surely. [2]

Advice uncalled for should never be given,
Advice from person in difficulty not taken,
Keep advice from loved ones - even unpleasant,
Never advise on war, marriage or such event. [3]

Advice from friends receive open mindedly,
Never give up to it or follow it blindly,
Whether right or wrong grasp totally,
With judicious reserve comprehend fully. [4]

If asked for advice - give wholeheartedly,
Even if knowing its acceptance be failingly,
For in giving the same it helps your clarity,
Showing your own life’s path - so lucidly. [5]

The Worldly Ways

The world, the din, the time, the kin,
In our days are a sin,
Love’s condemned and not true,
A farce for sex, a laugh at You. [1]

Simplicity is a crime,
Frauds and liers are divine,
Sex is worshiped, live not true,
Cheat be cheated our motos new. [2]

Love is lost - so dear to You,
And lovers are but a few,
‘Cause they know that live if hell,
As customs are but their cell. [3]

The lies, the crime, the evil ways,
Are the paths of our days,
We love our neighbour as love’s not true,
And hate the others cause they do too. [4]

Competence

Incompetents make trouble for people invariably,
Other than themselves - troubled constantly,
The incompetent with nothing to do certainly,
Can still make a mess of things very easily. [1]

Equal opportunity means all have the opportunity,
A fair chance at being incompetent eventually,
Rising to their level of incompetence finally,
Competence – be in the beholder’s eye only. [2]
