I just think that we're capable of so much more; we don't utilize all our capacity like we should.

Unlimited Capacity For Love

The ends not in sight, its gone way too far,
This could turn our another unwinning war,
It wasnt inherited, certainly not a joke,
So many human hearts, hanging in hope,
Unlimited capacity for love,
Unlimited capacity for love.
And now I must add another to love in my life,
Its one thing to say, to do is another,
If Im capable of adapting without pressured expense,
In a schizoid society in a classic moral sense,
Unlimited capacity for love,
Umlimited capacity for love.
How young I am now, stop counting the weeks,
Were safe from the vois, where theyre still counting sheep,
Put the phone to the floor, youll hear my heart beat,
Some people get married, but Ill never chat,
Unlimited capacity for love,
Unlimited capacity for love.
The ends not in sight, its gone way too far,
This could turn our another unwinning war,
It wasnt inherited, certainly not a joke,
So many human hearts, hanging in hope,
Unlimited capacity for love. (repeat, fade)

Over & Above

Half past 12 on a friday night everythings wrong and it doesnt feel right
Tried to talk to someone in the bar she didnt like my face I didnt get far
When you grow up youre gonna walk big strides just like me
When you grow up youre gonna hit the big time wait and see
And I listened to his guiding voice like a man who overhears god
Over and above what Im capable of
You couldnt take the weight of my purest innocence
Over and above what Im capable of
You couldnt take the weight of my purest innocence
Are you over
So tall daddy used to tower above him symbol of unreachable
Time fades icons of perfection cruel result but not intention
His values are not the ones I choose hes failed in himself
In the blaze of his pride an independence expressed
Not there is no guiding voice like a man who loses god
Over and above what Im capable of
You couldnt take the weight of my purest innocence
Over and above what Im capable of
You couldnt take the weight of my purest innocence
Are you over
And a man cant understand his father til he becomes a father too
Now his own sons expectation becomes his own hearts burden new
Dad I didnt understand the pressure could it bring them back together
Over and above what Im capable of
You couldnt take the weight of my purest innocence
Over and above what Im capable of
You couldnt take the weight of my purest innocence

The Sky Is High

The sky is high.
I'm thrilled to uplift and pierce,
Through a capacity.

The Sun on me sets a glow.
Deserving of this quickened drift...
I'm in ecstasy!

Something fresh with blessings,
Is going to happen!
Packed all doubts to leave to keep this breeze...
Licking on me.
To soar,
Effortlessly!

The sky is high.
I'm thrilled to uplift and pierce,
Through a capacity.

The Sun on me sets a glow.
Deserving of this quickened drift...
I'm in ecstasy!

Nothing is there to dare my movement.
Aware I am that I've got to fly.
Obstacles small and great are crumbling.
Just like the leaves,
Under my feet.
That fell from the Autumn,
October trees.

The sky is high.
I'm thrilled to uplift and pierce,
Through a capacity.

The Sun on me sets a glow.
Deserving of this quickened drift...
I'm in ecstasy!

And I reach for the sky.
Yes, that sky that's so high!

Something fresh is going to happen!
All doubts are packed...
And ready to leave!
And I lift effortlessly!

The sky is high.
I'm thrilled to uplift and pierce,
Through a capacity.

Deep Inside

Its 3 oclock and we ask ourselves, where are we now?
It seems weve wondered out of bounds again!
Over and over, we ask ourselves
Why we dont utilize things that are stored deep inside of our brains!
Im on my own and I cant see straight!
Am I so stoned that I cant see straight?
Man, Ive got to find my way back home, but Im too deep inside
Its 4 oclock and we ask ourselves
where did I go wrong? we passed my house at least an hour ago!
Over and overr, we ask ourselves
Why dont we utilize things that are stored deep inside of our brains!
Im on my own and I cant see straight!
Am I sooo stoned that I cant see straight?
Its 5 oclock, and we ask ourselves
we need to get home! the sun is creeping overhead again!
Im way too deep inside to go home... Ive got to get sane!

Runnin' Shine

WELL NOW DOWN DEEP IN THE OZARKS MAN, THERE WERE I WAS BORN, MY GRANDFATHER OWNED A STILL AND RAISED A FIELD OF CORN. HE TOLD ME BOY, YOU GONNA CARRY ON THIS FAMILY TRADITION, THEN HE WILLED ME THE STILL PLUS ALL THE GUNS AND AMMUNITION. YOU BETTER START RUNNIN' WHEN THE BULLETS START TO FLY. YOU BETTER UNDERSTAND YOU FACE FLASH IN THE SKY. I'M RUNNIN' SHINE. MY GRANDFATHER TAUGHT ME ALL THE SECRETS OF THE TRADE, HE TAUGHT ME HOW TO DRINK AND SELL THE BEST OF WHAT I MADE. HE TAUGHT ME HOW TO UTILIZE THE GUNS AND AMMUNTION AND HE ATAUGHT ME HOW TO DEAL WITH THOSE WHO ENVIED MY POSITION. ONE DAY SHERIFF GERALD COLTRANE CAME A KNOCKIN' AT MY DOOR, HE TOLD ME YOU WON'T BE MAKIN' THAT CORN LIQUOR NO MORE. I FINALLY GOT TO UTILIZE THE GUNS AND AMMUNITION AND I FINALLY GOT TO DEAL WITH WHOSE WHO ENVIED MY POSITION

Good to say no

It is always good to say “no”
At least you have information and knowledge
You have definite ideas where to approach and go
This makes difference for what to retain and what to forgo

In no case you feel let down by anybody
The field and opportunities lay open for everybody
You have enough of time to plan and strike
You have open sky and favorable wind to fly the kite

Nothing hurts you more than the desertion
That too at eleventh hour when your existence is in question
How bad you feel when left alone at decisive moment?
You may have no words to express sorrow or resent

You can’t stand with sorrows and tears
As an able body person you got to bear
Any set back that has come on the way
Clear the hurdles and push them away

You may have “let down “feelings
That may certainly be disastrous and killing
Yet there is no end and hope for future
Only you must have will power to make it sure

Life is full of ups and down with lots of uncertainties
It provides for skillful exhibition with capabilities
It may generate lots of hope with confidence
You may be in position to see through scopes and chances

It demonstrates to the world about your talent
As you were able to utilize it with its full extent
You proved the saying “fortune favors the brave”
You were in full control of situation and save

Interdependence is good for competition
But blind dependence may invite the repetition
You can’t go in with limited source
As it may need addition strength and force

Try to be confident indigenous capability
That may clearly increase your ability
To utilize it at its peak with optimum level
You may have then all chances to excel

Man has a limited biological capacity for change. When this capacity is overwhelmed, the capacity is in future shock.

I've seen too much hate to want to hate, myself, and every time I see it, I say to myself, hate is too great a burden to bear. Somehow we must be able to stand up against our most bitter opponents and say: "We shall match your capacity to inflict suffering by our capacity to endure suffering. We will meet your physical force with soul force. Do to us what you will and we will still love you.... But be assured that we'll wear you down by our capacity to suffer, and one day we will win our freedom. We will not only win freedom for ourselves; we will appeal to your heart and conscience that we will win you in the process, and our victory will be a double victory".

If you go back to the first single-cell form of life, it clearly possessed the capacity to receive, to utilize, to store, to transform, and to transmit information.

Chance and turn

You must compromise with the situation
Get updates and make evaluation
What so ever you may think and do
See to your self and go through

Females have their chance and turn
Either wake up or make run
No favor may be shown to males
This will take your liberty away and turn you pale

Now wind blowing in different direction
It is time to watch our own action
No disrespect or hostile gesture will be appreciated
You will not only turn things worse but vitiated

There is tremendous blow and complete change
Ladies have excelled in all the fields with clear edge
The beauty shows are over and good positions occupied
They have secured positions and not simply copied

They are provided with protection and cover
The days of tyranny and torture are over
You can not dream to violate and harm their modesty
This can push you behind bars and land in custody

For very long time they were under bondage
The society as such had kept them in virtual cage
There are still hypocrites in world today
The solution is not found out in reasonable way

Many countries have framed legislations
This may give some respite with good indication
There may be less harassment and torture
They can witness good days with bright future

The complete scene is managed by males even today
The females are denied all rights and blocked the way
So much humiliation and insult for no fault
Forget about respect not even confidence is built

We owe so much to ladies
Even though they are concern of no body
We could not have taken birth on this land
If they were unreasonable and hostile friends

Wed employ all methods to stall their progress
They are always under tension and duress
They have enough of courage and simplicity

Life Just Ended

Person's life was just ended
As it was not avoided
He lacked strength and will
But what prompted him to kill?

It is just suicidal tendency
Not blessed by almighty
We have no right to end
We are specially sent

With failure in examination test
Students end life by forgetting the rest
What if one had little set back?
Why to put entire life at stake?

Farmers end life with failure of monsoon
As if life was not to be restored and soon
What has happened to the father of the land?
Why do they want to be bad children of motherland?

Parents end life with bad experience
Children fail to serve them at insistence
Why do they want such unbearable tragic end?
Is there no other way to utilize life and mend?

New bride is burnt to death for the want of the dowry?
Life is ended because someone else has failed to feel sorry
Where are we heading for in civilized society?
Why have we forgotten the creator and o, almighty?

Parents pray and ask for lovely kid's presence
Home should be filled without their absence
Why unwanted scene should be created?
When life is meant to be struggled and re-created

Suicide or ending of life is no answer
What happens if rain fails to deliver shower?
What if harvest fails due to no rain?
Life, death, joy and sadness come in form of chain

It is precious gift no one can deny
We must strive, work hard and try
We should know the capacity and then spread
Else it may utter failure and you will be dead

One weak slogan

Always escape under one weak slogan
And helplessly call vulnerable to plan
Nothing goes in head or unnoticed
As we are insincere and do not act as promised

What is needed at present to be called human?
When we act worst than the animals?
Kill the innocent persons at day light
And still term it as crusade or fight?

Stop fooling now and keep answers ready for the future generation
They may like to know exactly where we erred in our relations.
Why we all were all committed to preserve humanity?
But failed to observe commands issued by the almighty

Our own children may want to know about the path chosen
Why there was slum in personal relation or simply frozen?
What made us to rise in arms and kill innocents for no reasons?
Who are all gruesomely murdering and claiming as true sons?

I may want to know the simple factor for consumption
What can be least agreeable reason for dialogue resumption?
Who can guarantee the liberty and freedom of right after so called liberation?
Will it be secular, authoritarian, democratic or multi ethnic nation?

Dictators have fled away or are being killed
Corrupt politicians are enjoying but constantly grilled
Poor people are watching with dazed eyes
National wealth is swindled off and flies

Where and how can we justify as human being?
Have we not tolerated emperors or great kings?
Were they able to serve empires at best of their ability?
Answer is emphatic “no” much to the discomfort of our capability

Let us do nothing at present but observe truce
Let people move freely without any grudge
Dignity and integrity are two the major concerned factors
If breached then can invite losses as compared to that atomic reactors

No one is going to be permanent here
Nations may perish and something new may emerge here and there
We have to utilize the space granted by merciful lord
Look ahead, guide in whatever capacity you can, and go forward

Thoughts and feelings

Sometimes we may refer as “he has heart but no soul in it”
“He has great talent to play the games but foul in it“
“He plays safe and doesn’t encounter any problems”
“”He is one of the greatest living legend and real gem”

Human beings react to with such niceties in words
They have been gifted with memory box from the Lords
They have the capacity to think with cool mind
Try to utilize it with full power and new way or means to find

We never underestimate anybody and carve the way
Go with all out efforts to make it glorious day
We never impose our will or commit on anybody
Leave it to others to think about somebody

One may try to go to the depth of feelings
He may have to go for it either willing or unwilling
Here he may weigh exactly what is gain or loss
He may have to go for it without making any pause

We give so much importance to personal feelings
It amounts to nothing but only whims thought killings
Where does it matter if you have certain reservation?
It may help nowhere and end in complete negation

Sometimes we are hurt by our own feelings and thoughts
On numerous occasions we may face “ifs, buts and no's”
It is proving counter productive and not subjective
This is nothing but self assuring steps and called proactive

It is thought process machine which remains active
It has both the tendencies like proactive and post active
In both the cases mind ceaselessly work in one direction
In all the cases it takes no time or seconds or fraction

On humanitarian aspects it bleeds or sheds the tears
It beats with agony, pain and all shocks it bears
It has sensitive cells which generate and create space
Some we become prisoner of conscience and face

We are hurt sometimes for no reason
We become gloomy and act as sad person
It has nothing to do with any of the season
It moves on in all condition by keeping liaison

It may not matter or concern with what others might think
It may float with the happy events and tragedy may sometimes sink
It is sensational block to float so many things at a time to act
We may laugh, cry express emotions and violently react

The treachery

A man is capable of falling
In love with more than one woman
At a time and pursuing them alike.
A woman is capable of getting
Love from more than one man
At a time and encouraging them alike.
Loving is a feeding to men.
Being loved is feeding to women.
Both are capable of treachery.

The Poems Bring Me Back To Myself

THE POEMS BRING ME BACK TO MYSELF

The poems bring me back to myself
I begin to live again –

Without the poems
I would have to make a new life-

I do not know if I am capable of it-

A life without poems without poetry
With other words perhaps-

I am too old to slowly write the long narrative
I never was capable of before

Little poems
Little lines
What I am capable of now.

Just One Sniff of Gin

Money isn't capable,
Of having it stretch...
Past the eyes of the taxman.

Nor can it be squeezed,
Or pinched...
Without a sighing moan to groan.

Money as it is ('is') weak.
And can make an oooweee ow...
To dropp down,
On the ground slipping quick...
From greased and slickened,
Mansion banners.

You know,
The spiral and wrap around kind.

If you've been living high on a fat hog...
Money isn't capable,
Of passing the taxman's grasp.
With a frisking that could last,
Until the blood began to drip from cottage cheese.
The diet we adopted!
Provoked by the pinching of the squeeze.

Money as it is ('is') weak.
And can make an oooweee ow...
To dropp down,
On the ground slipping quick.

Money can't be used to make the rich any richer.
But it sure knows how to bring us all
To our knees.

Even 'if' you had it!
No...
Money can't be used to make the rich any richer.
But it sure can bring a squell,
To aging knees.

Money isn't capable,
Of having it stretch...
Past the eyes of the taxman.

But,
A few dollars right now...
Could buy me a 'sniff' of gin.

Could buy me a 'sniff' of gin.

Please stop this education

Education is the backbone of a nation,
But in the name of education,
They are grinding our backbones,
They are blending our souls,
They are leaking our creativities,
They making us human robots.

Education to be selfdependent,
To be capable of thinking.
Education to be free,
To utilize my freedom.
But they are binding us.
They are making us to take,
The bollus, they are giving us.
They are making us to feel,
That we are the numb,
We have no feelings,
We can't differentiate.

Please stop this education,
stop this new form of slavery.
Stop selling cirtificates,
Let us to know ourself,
Let us to find out Who we are.
Let us to think a newer theorem of life.
Don't make us a limited company,
Don't make us underdog.
We have powers to do something,
we can provoke newer thoughts,
We can prove ourselves.
Please, let us be man,
With self intelligence.

We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all of our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind of self-government; upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God.

Power is the faculty or capacity to act, the strength and potency to accomplish something. It is the vital energy to make choices and decisions. It also includes the capacity to overcome deeply embedded habits and to cultivate higher, more effective ones.
