Thought To Be Two Faced

Everytime I suggest to others,
They should not suspect anyone to be a fool...
One would think after I had expressed this,
I am that one making a personal request.
And that is exactly to me a few show they do.

Only to leave me to feel,
I am the one who should apologize...
For the proving to them my serious business side.
And with it unmistakably revealed...
I am then by them thought to be two-faced.

Don't defame the name of friendship

I know your intention behind this ingratitude
You wish to destablize me to overtake me
All the riches that you have gathered
Around you is the result of our joint venture
You wish to eat up the whole
I will never prevent you from doing it
For honesty is character and character is honesty
You may even eject me from my place
And I will not raise an eyebrow
But I request you not to defame the name of friendship.

Life’s Problem

A grand puzzle is a problem of order,
Order may run out, the circle is round;
Gases seep into the breathing air,
Fulfilling me in every puzzling manner,
They require order to stop the spread of gas.
May you turn into use and generosity,
Killing me with kindness and love.
I request for genuine aid as a father
And sons shall solve and define.
We need the most beautiful children
To solve the problem of life.

Marching Troops

Exert distance and take gigantic steps,
With pity the wicked shall make steps:
Who shall win and adjourn?
Who will carry the flag of victory?
A race is won on the steps taken,
And innocence must win again.
Soldiers who do hear the request of their generals,
Will face death when the dying occurs,
No soldier or troop or cavalier is exempt - they grind.
Who shall gain their victory?
You know and you know.

She Is Mother

She doesn't wear
a pointy hat,
doesn't ride a broom,
or, lives with a black cat.
She shares with children,
the gentle drops of rain,
its name is pure dream.
She takes away our all pain.
She prepares for her dear ones,
many fabulous dishes,
if once we want to have,
our request she never misses.
She is not a sorceress,
she is not a witch rather.
She can do anything for all of us,
Oh! she is our Mother!

Two opposite poles

Spaciousness of sky while in sail
And compactness of a car on road,
Multitudes in town and solitude in bedroom,
Richness of tower and humbleness of hut,
Sturdiness of floor and softness of woman’s flesh,
Freeness of valley and restriction of classroom,
Freshness of flower and coldness of toddy, and
Command of leader and request of
invalids
All are two extremes. Yet, I enjoy both. 10.07.2001, Pkd

Black-Out

These English actors are too mild,
Who seek to have their wrongs redressed.
No manager may be beguiled
By supplication or request.

Some sterner action is required,
A union boss they should engage,
If coloured folk are not desired
To 'crab their acts' upon the stage.

Ours is the method when in doubt;
And they should follow in our track.
And, if they'd keep these niggers out,
They promptly should 'declare them black.

My Fate Is My Father's Will

I have no disposition,
To request a reposition.
Or think that superstitions done,
Protects me from the evil of some.

My fate is of my Father's Will.
A power no one on Earth can fill!
And those who aspire to shallow means...
I leave alone to exploit 'ego' dreams.

I know when I've assisted.
My 'gifts' from God has lifted!
And perhaps I should show,
A humbleness I know...
But many would use that,
And twist it!

Without Thinking

I had been asked to give my opinion.
And expressed a reluctance to give it.
When my reluctance offended,
I went ahead to give my opinion...
Without thinking I would be challenged,
To defend it.
Or argue my right to express it.
Especially if requested.
That's why with lessons learned today,
I do not accept request to express my thoughts.
Whether they are solicited or not to convey.
With a keeping of my peace of mind addressed.

A Special Request

I have no time
To waste any longer.
I just want to live
Each day in wonder.
The past was glorious,
Exciting, challenging.
The present is different,
Has brought maturity, a new mission.
Other horizons inhabit the mind,
Inviting the soul to be serene, kind.
God has made a special request:
'Keep active, be helpful and positive,
Accept your plight every day you live
'cause the future always comes next...

(April 2010)
