Quotes about lessen, page 13
A day without charm
I plead for it and say sorry
It is causing me worry
I couldn't say hello in hurry
Does that look so funny?
Now a day it is loosing its charm
To say 'sorry' is doing less good and more harm
The relation gets strained and doesn't remain warm
You can't embrace your friend in arm
To say “sorry” is fashion of the day
It is easy for person to get out of way
What does it cost for saying fed words?
No one may draw weapons like swords
It is quite amusing and creating uneasiness
It lacks truthfulness and frankness
No one is going to hang you for incidence
Try to avoid it as easy reference

For Those Nonaccepting
What is goin on here?
I have never seen so many people,
Walking around with limps.
Using walkers and canes,
As if to prevent them from falling.
And people with prescriptions,
To lessen their mental afflictions.
And the atmosphere is thick with sadness.
What addictions did they get to have them like this? '
'Lieing about others and to themselves.
With a denying of a reality to confront as is.
As long as they can get anyone,
To approve their delusions...
They are happy with their dysfunctions.
And delight in expressing their illnesses.'
WHY do you insist on remaining negative?

What Cancer Can't Do
Cancer is a real menace friend, which brings on an ominous end,
A time when suffering can be rife, with an early exit from this life,
This as life takes a major change, as many things stay the same,
Bringing much anguish to a family, in ways, they have yet to see.
Though cancer affects me and you, its menace has its limits too,
Limits on the devastating effect, upon those lives it has wrecked;
Regarding the victims, I speak of; cancer cannot cripple the love,
One's love, that remains intact, despite cancer's relentless attack.
Cancer cannot shatter our hope, as through it God helps us cope,
With The Lord's sustaining grace, cancer cannot corrode our faith;
Though its ailing effects increase, cancer can't destroy our peace,
A peace, that God instills in us, through the Spirit of Christ Jesus.
Though death may be cancer's will, friendships cancer cannot kill,
Also, it cannot suppress memories, of loving friends and families,
As the ill effects continue to rage, cancer cannot silence courage,
For we know that this entire life, is truly sustained by Jesus Christ.

Israel At 50 Years Revival
I was there when you, a dream so distant
An old narrative, a wish of a people so ancient.
You were defunct yet alive in their mind every instant,
Fanned and revived by lives so enormously patient. Two thousand years, turbulent and mostly tragic,
Generation follows generation prayed, sighted and wept
For the mention of your holy past splendor and magic
And your love in their heart jealously kept. At last a bright star by the name of Herzel appeared
And adding deeds to yearning he neared
The era of rebirth and redemption
Pleading his case and calling attention. Then that great lion, named Ben Gurion hard on his heels
Decided to assemble the coach and lube the wheels
Enlisting all for the long and tough survival right
Till the dawn arrived and shed a bright light. Let us not turn our back s to a great enterprise
Nor lessen the grip and be subject to surprise
Too many were the sinister events to count
Too many were the obstacles in our way surmount. Alas! the struggle as yet is far from over
But the might of Israel is still there and will over,
Will cling to thy rocks no matter who is the rival
Until they clear the field for a true peace and revival! Hurrah! Israel reached her fifty, we pray & hope for peace
With all her neighbors, enough wars, hate and destructions

Sick
I am sick with your corpse.
The sickness entered through my eyes and the infection has worked its way in to my brain.
In to my sleep,
In to my dreams.
The multiple stab wounds that went from your collar bone on down.
The stab wounds no one bothered to stitch up,
They have, in my dreams, become muted mouths trying to scream out…
For something.
I remember noticing that the slash mark,
The one on your neck,
Completely missed the bone necklace tattoo you were so proud of.
I remember walking in to a room built for maximum serenity,
Designed to comfort and sooth.
I remember approaching the steel gurney that had been draped with a sheet
And my knees buckled
For the first time in my life I lost my footing.
Your hands, looked so old.
I still can't help but wonder what they had been doing.
Nails, worn down to the quick, as if you had tried to claw your way out of something.
The 'cranial damage', the facial bruising…

A Brief for the Defense
Sorrow everywhere. Slaughter everywhere. If babies
are not starving someplace, they are starving
somewhere else. With flies in their nostrils.
But we enjoy our lives because that's what God wants.
Otherwise the mornings before summer dawn would not
be made so fine. The Bengal tiger would not
be fashioned so miraculously well. The poor women
at the fountain are laughing together between
the suffering they have known and the awfulness
in their future, smiling and laughing while somebody
in the village is very sick. There is laughter
every day in the terrible streets of Calcutta,
and the women laugh in the cages of Bombay.
If we deny our happiness, resist our satisfaction,
we lessen the importance of their deprivation.
We must risk delight. We can do without pleasure,
but not delight. Not enjoyment. We must have
the stubbornness to accept our gladness in the ruthless
furnace of this world. To make injustice the only
measure of our attention is to praise the Devil.

Laugh With The World But Weep Alone!
LAUGH WITH THE WORLD
BUT WEEP ALONE!
I have come to bear my own cross,
And to weep alone and dry my tears!
For this sad old world have troubles
galore,
With no time to spare for me or despair!
When I laugh the world laughs with me,
And is ever ready to share my happy times;
But in my hour of grief they shrug and say, -
' A friend in grief is no friend of mine! '
Yet our tears get attached to our joys
and mirth,
Happy moments always bring tears to
our eyes!
For my tears celebrate those short-lived
hours,
Since only happines can never be mine!

Basically Speaking!
You cannot do a dirty job
Appearing always clean;
You cannot live in vice all life,
And have a virtuous soul!
You cannot wear just tattered clothes
To attend banquet feast;
You cannot be unsterile and
Perform clean surgery!
You cannot be a patriot,
And help the enemies;
You cannot live a life of sin
Awaiting miracles.
You cannot sin repeatedly,
Expect God’s forgiveness;
You cannot stay a Satan’s child,
And enter God’s Abode.

She Was There
Sitting on a tree stump,
Trying to hide the lump of pain...
Felt inside.
I discovered her on the hillside crying.
To lessen a suspiciousness...
I kept my silentness.
I slowly began to take deep breaths.
My nervousness developed a wetness on my brow.
None of that I wanted to introduced.
As I was being swept away...
I knew then I was being loved seduced!
Instantly!
So I sat a few feet distanced,
From her.
In quiet ambiguity.
Hoping she would feel my given empathy.
Exchanging it we did at once...
To do that immediately.

Adam and The Angel
Birds of prey
But are stuck to the ground
Trying to fly
When there's no one around
I will one day earn my wings
And fly far away
From this place of hate
And take you with me
I Toss away fate
There is no such thing
As destiny
There is only what happens
When you leave things be
Fly away
Far away
I took the pills, but kept the pain
