Dear all poem lovers

Dear all

Thanks a lot to you for having chosen to read this. I know very well that as a poem lover, you will be a nature lover too. You will also appreciate that all of us need to turn environment-friendly for sustenance and continuance of our very existence.

This is not a poem or poetic impression, but a request to you to contribute your bit on the occasion of World Environment Day, which falls on 5th June 2010 (for that matter each year) .

This year let us observe, rather not celebrate, World Environment Day.

Let us resolve to restrict the use of all natural non-renewable resources, especially the fuel resource.

As a sequel to this resolution, let us undertake a walk for at least 15 minutes anytime between 8.00 am and 10.00 am on 5th June 2010, a Saturday. We will walk with a pinned up message as shown below

WALK
YOUR
WAY
TODAY
WORLD
ENVIRONMENT
DAY

on an A4 size paper on your front and back in your streets or roads demonstrating your concern for environment. You need not be in groups and there need not be any slogans, just a silent walk. I would even suggest that this be done when you leave home for market, for leaving children in school, for ATM, for that matter any walk with a defined destination and a planned purpose.

You demonstrate this to show that you will not miss opportunities to walk walkable distances and to cut short the consumption of oil resources. The other purpose you serve by the display is that you are reminding others also of the importance of World Environment Day.

You may enlarge your commitment, if possible, by not using your petrol or diesel driven vehicles during 8.00 am to 10.00 am on that day.

This is posted well in advance so that, if convinced with the idea, you may like to propagate the same, and bring in a lot of people in this silent way of observing World Environment.

Thanks.

Linux Concept(.SVCPD)

Name: Standardize Version Compatible Package Deployment.

Goals: 1. Make All Software On Linux Compatible By A Version Standard.

a: By this if you name something name_x.x.x.(1) and something else of the same version will not conflict with it. Only the number in the brackets will be important for this standardisation. Allow the software creators, programmers, and designers to state what stage the software is in. Why because I believe good organisation will produce better coding. Not just clean code, but clean files that call upon that code.

b: The inner compatibility is important an key. Why are Linux competing against each other? Why is it not a joint effort in it's entirety? Now I'm not speaking of their design or how something works by itself but with other and completely different software. Now imagine for a second if you wanted something that wasn't on you current os (Operating System) , but was on another Linux. Wouldn't it be nice if you could install their package. Without having to rebuilding the source to a package, compiling natively, or having to worry about if it will conflict with any of your currently installed files.

Now the third part of the version number name_x.x.2.x Let it describe the hardware it will work with. Let this number be tested and proven before it is given and if it not let the number clarify what hardware it is for and state it hasn't been completely tested yet. Thus the alpha betas what ever you want call them. Now the second number let it define a controlled listing of bugs/errors. And
let the very first number describe the current version of the modification in code or design.

Next let us add another number x.x.x.x -x
To describe any unavoidable conflicts in detail and to keep a listing of them of files in a specific version type.

Another thing I want from this packaging software.
Is the ability to covert packages between different types.
And upon conversion to.SVCPD I want it automatically generate this version number. I want to it access a database and return a number that describes everything I listed above. I want the user to see what will work, what won't, and explanation why other then just an error code. Or a compiler code. We need to make Linux more user friendly. But not in the eye candy sort of way. But instead in the usability way. Make it to where you can almost install any software on Linux within reason. I want to make it where the design of an operating system is more important then the window environment.
And it is already happening for alot operating systems already have multiple window environments installed.

Another goal is to have the software packaged in.SVCPD to no matter what software environment it is installed it calls upon files from that environment and has a gui interface of that environment. And it not to be necessary to install a different environment for it.

You are a product of your environment. So choose the environment that will best develop you toward your objective. Analyze your life in terms of its environment. Are the things around you helping you toward success - or are they holding you back?

World Environment Day

Be in Nature's tune
On 5th of June
Celebrate Environment Day
Come forward without delay
To put in action what teachers say
Make environment clean
Don't throw here and there
Wastes, garbage and rags
Use earthen pots and paper bags
Say good bye to polythene
To make environment better
Each one plant one more tree
To make Earth greener
And pollution free

Censorhit

Tipper, whats that sticker sticking on my cd?
Is that some kind of warning to protect me?
Freedom of choice needs a stronger, stronger voice.
You can stamp out the source, but you
Cant stop creative thoughts.
Ah, tipper come, aint you been getting it on?
Ask ozzie, zappa or me.
Well show you what its like to be free.
Ah, tipper come on, its just
A smoke screen for the real problems:
S&l deficit, the homeless, the environment.
Hey, hey all you, all you senators wiwes,
Better take a good look at your own lives
Before you go preaching to me
Your definition of obscenity.
Ah, tipper come on, aint you been getting it on?
Ask ozzie, zappa or me.
Well show you what its like to be free.
Ah, tipper come on, its just
A smoke screen for the real problems:
S&l deficit, the homeless, the environment.
The irony it seems, it seems to me. its un-american
Policy. yeah, weve come so far but still only to find
People like you with ignorant minds.
Ah, tipper come on, aint you been getting it on?
Ask ozzie, zappa or me.
Well show you what its like to be free.
Ah, tipper come on, its just
A smoke screen for the real problems:
S&l deficit, the homeless, the environment.

Turning barren

The sun was never in shape and bright red
May be given wrong briefing and fed
Has taken long shelter of clouds and hiding
Little angry about the news that people are not abiding

I presumed about its being great source
Making its way with energy and force
Can any one light the entire area at ease?
Constant source of energy to release

Any thing can happen to entire globe?
It needs much thinking and probe
The dark and cold age is fast returning
Global warming and pollution is gradually turning

The ozone layer is facing rupture
Making direct impact on nature
Glaciers are melting and flooding the rivers
Cold is gripping and entire universe shiver

We may not find the same sun again
Entire world may have to think and regain
Turing to nature and old steps to revive
Very much essential if we all want to survive

The soil is eroded and turning barren
Not a blade of grass may grow even
Its fertility will be over and no production
Situation can be retrieved with new measures introduction

The sky is not even spared
Every angle is occupied and explored
Gravity and pull both easily compromised
Roaming objects move freely as totally demised

Heights may be lost with danger of free fall
No full proof security to put in force and recall
Progress is seen but with high risk consequences
Slowly it is reported as casual and normal instances

Sea is poisoned not for man but for rare species
Everybody has lost ground including rare fishes
Where will we find them again for the fault of our race?
They may be lost for ever with becoming extinct face

Long sea beaches are loosing glamour
Flooding with seepage and spoiling nature
Enormous damage to natural heritage
What else can we have as an advantage?

Balancing On The Edge Of Jeopardy

Children are a strange commodity.
A product of our teachings...
And a reflection of the environment.

Like unnecessary attachments,
Sometimes they can be.
So innocent and sweet when born...
To grow into untamed weeds,
We pray to bloom into prized accessories.
Yes!
Compared to those 'things',
We pride ourselves to keep.

We hope our lessons teach them well.
But no one really knows,
In what direction our children will eventually...
Choose to go.

Children,
As we believe we know them...
Are a strange commodity.
A product of our teachings...
And a reflection of the environment.

And 'if' the environment isn't condusive,
To the mental health of our 'kids'...
Any future we perceive that is deserving that comes,
Can either be brightened with enlightenment...
Or hang nervously balancing on the edge of jeopardy.

And,
Our expectations void of consistent encouragement...
May be a bit too high for them to fly without obedience.

None That We Deemed Qualified

When an environment sustains,
An on the verge of 'potential' level and remains there...
With few gains developed to move forward for decades.
And stays unchanged and stagnant...
As if in a holding pattern awaiting to land.
While seen behind the scenes are discovered...
Those chosen and recommended,
And employed to be the best of innovators...
Overheard in their debates,
What they believe it will take to benefit the environment.

With a diversity much like that which is enjoyed,
And found in their suburban communities.
To produce within an urban center to replicate 'their' comforts.
At the expense of destroying the flavor and relocating the people,
Who created the popularity of the environment in the first place.
With a luxurizing done believed to appeal to those seeking,
Bits and teases of variety, a few ethnic faces and a cultural display...
Of diverse and accepted cuisine.

'This project is nearing completion,
And no one has expressed and interest in it at all.'

~Who was on the committee? ~

'Doctors, lawyers and ivy league school scholars.'

~Anyone from the local community? ~

'None that we deemed qualified with 'our' vision.'

~Well...
Have you thought that the reason to be,
Your success at achieving overwhelming failure?
Just a thought.
You are catering to the 'people', aren't you? ~

'Well, yes.
A certain class of people.'

~Don't you think it strange that those 'class' of people,
Find your attempts to attract them...
Boring? ~

Praying That It Stays

There is nothing like witnessing to experience,
A people living in an environment who have been convinced...
Ignorance and subservience is theirs to defend.
With an advocating of it that will not see an end.
And praying that it stays to forever exist the way it is.

There is nothing like listening to a sermon delivered,
From a pulpit where a minister behind it sits...
After preaching to receive applause and lots of it.
To remind those who sat but now on their feet...
How remaining down to Earth to 'him' this pleases.

There is nothing like witnessing to experience,
A people living in an environment who have been convinced...
Ignorance and subservience is theirs to defend.
And many wishing to be 'Back Home' again.
To walk those rural roads bare foot to visit neighbors.

There is nothing like listening to a sermon delivered,
From a pulpit where a minister behind it sits...
After preaching to receive applause and lots of it.
To then drive away in a recently purchased Mercedes.
To live in comfort and tax free; rewarded for a job well done.

There is nothing like witnessing to experience,
A people living in an environment who have been convinced...
Ignorance and subservience is theirs to defend.
And the only thing that is wished,
Is that their children remember from where it is they came.
And proud they would be of them if they did the same.

'Why are you so critical of the people? '

~Oh...?
So what I observe is NOT accepted? ~

'It's the heritage and the culture,
They wish kept preserved.'

~I see.
How stupid of me to view it any other way.
And here I am thinking all of this,
Has no historic value to them that benefits.~

Self Inflicted Issues

When an environment of people,
Are taught and conditioned...
To accept ignorance and disrespect themselves,
With a freedom to do this and integrity they lack.
The expectations of them healing from their ailments,
And self inflicted issues...
Is not going to happen with a waving of a magic wand.

When minds are noticed to be hypnotized and absent,
Of nonexistent identites...
Those people look at themselves as the enemy.

When an environment of people,
Are taught and conditioned...
To accept ignorance and disrespect themselves,
Those people look at one another as the enemy.

When an environment of people,
Are taught and conditioned...
To accept ignorance and disrespect themselves,
Those people look at one another as the enemy.

When minds are noticed to be hypnotized and absent,
Of nonexistent identites...
Those people look at themselves as the enemy.

Survival in a stable environment depends almost entirely on remembering the strategies for survival that have been developed in the past, and so the conservation and transmission of these becomes the primary mission of education. But, a paradoxical situation develops when change becomes the primary characteristic of the environment. Then the task turns inside out — survival in a rapidly changing environment depends almost entirely upon being able to identify which of the old concepts are relevant to the demands imposed by the new threats to survival, and which are not.

We do not know, in most cases, how far social failure and success are due to heredity, and how far to environment. But environment is the easier of the two to improve.

Why should we think upon things that are lovely? Because thinking determines life. It is a common habit to blame life upon the environment. Environment modifies life but does not govern life. The soul is stronger than its surroundings.
