And I came away from that experience, and it was a very difficult experience - I came to understand that you have to practice at being a good father and practice at being a good husband, just as you have to practice at being a good journalist.

I'd Like To Practice Harmony

I'd like to snap you back,
To a place,
We had!

I'd like to snap you back,
To a time before delusions.

I'd like to snap us back,
When we were happy and glad.

I'd like to snap us back!
And awaken from delusions.
I'd like to practice harmony...
And get more of that!

I'd like to snap us back!
And awaken from delusions.
I'd like to practice harmony...
And get more of that!

Wise and Wisdom

The nature of wisdom,
The nature of insight is such that
If you know that something is good and
You don’t do it, you loose your insight.

If you want to develop wisdom and deep insight,
Put into practice as soon as possible what
You understand to be right thing to do.
If you do just this one thing I assure you that you
can develop your deep spiritual qualities.

Be more mindful, your mind will tell you;
The right thing to do.
No matter how much;
we know if we don’t put it into practice,
what is the point of knowledge.

Learning a few things at a time, and
immediately putting them into practice.
That is the most important thing to do,

Crush the rebellion

I am determined to crush the rebellion,
Send them packing and back into pavilion,
I bring them to sense with high handedness,
If need be hang them in public to show hardness,

These were the methods practiced by rulers,
Single word to be upheld as doctrine or pillars,
No one to violate and nothing to question,
All in good faith so no question of rejection,

In modern days modus operand is changed,
Practice same but orderly and convincingly arranged,
Behind the doors malpractice cleverly managed,
Call to all but promises conveniently words reneged,

I am determined to halt the assault,
It is not the system but poets at fault,
Falling easy prey and like ice melt,
No agony, no pain and no regret felt,

Can never reach on top

I can never reach on the top,
Many road blocks and stop,
Climbing difficult on high slope,
But still efforts more with attempts nonstop,

I am amused but is a fact,
Unhealthy competition for retaining position intact,
It is ploy, calculated and revised tactics,
Retaining position with clear statistics,

I have found method give and take,
Poets think water will not deplete in a lake,
You rate for me I will also rate and make,
We form a nexus and share the cake,

This is how we manage the scene,
Adhere to unfair practice always seen,
Why go for cheap name and so keen?
Alas! There would have fair practice been,

0013 Sainthood via Automated Complaints

Living saints seem to be an endangered species
though nobody complains

so how about the ‘sustainable’ bit?
How To Be a Saint isn’t yet in that
expanding Idiot’s Guide series

however

there is a Path, a Way
right at the tips of your fingers
though have your blood pressure
checked first

automated complaints

and I’m sure I don’t need
to spell that out for you

the one that you can’t even get through to make;

Conversation with Lord Krishna - VIII (Fiction)

I: Some are engaged in the refurbishing of culture, religion etc., and feel but for them nothing happens and feel they are superior to ordinary folks like me and they many times completely forget You and take credit for all their achievements and also are hijacking Indian culture for selfish purposes. Why are You allowing this and are not ridding them of their illusion and uncultured acts?

Lord Krishna: All actions are inspired by rajo guna. Such persons will have such tendencies. I will enter when they are completely masked by illusion, and I shall do the needful for the society.

I: You said that you know all subjects, skills, fine arts and languages? How is it possible?

Lord Krishna: Know that I am saastra yoni, the womb of all knowledge. Know that I am silence, the essence of all the languages. Languages in the form of meanings, sentences, words and expressions originate and dissolve in silence thus enabling you to know, cognize, perceive, intuit, experience, understand and become knowledgeable, scholars and intellectuals.

I: Numerous sects are available in Hindu religion believing in many Gods and Goddesses. How You reconcile them and maintain harmonious relationship among them? Is there a superior sect in Hinduism?

Lord Krishna: As God it is my duty to keep harmony in society, creation and universe. Not only We, the Gods and Goddesses, manage Hindu sects, but also all religions together.

I: Do You all Gods of all religions meet regularly?

Lord Krishna: Yes We meet and try to reconcile through humane human beings. We will be continuously striving and trying for peaceful coexistence of all human beings of all denominations, nature, other living beings and the whole Universe as a whole.

I: Why You have created caste system? You so clearly claimed about it in Bhagawadgita saying “mayaa srustam..” and took the credit for that.

Lord Krishna: A seer like you put those words in my mouth.

X-Ecutioners Song

january 16th 1977 its early morning in the utah state prison
the importance of the tv crews enhance this main event
capital punishment has not been practices in over 10 years in the united states
though ading to controvercy... Harry Gilmore was bout to enter a vail of trouble
x-ecutioner
oh year strong survive
you could run but no man is safe
hey keep the show crews running
like they're supposed to
Is very simple and fun.
all it takes is good balance and good hand eye co-ordination
keep your eyes at the balls at all times
remember practice practice practice
let me show you how to do it properly

Wake Up Bomb

I...was...cool
I look good in a glass pack
I look good and mean
I look good in metallic sick wraparounds blackout tease
I scud along the horizon chew some sweet tree
I get high in my low-ass boot cut cheap
I like being seen
I look good with my drink eat no sleep
Take a leap, longevity
I look good in my attitude, latitude, 1973
Im in deep
My heads on fire and high esteem
Carry my dead, bored, been there, done that, anything
Oh, the wake-up bomb
Oh, the wake-up bomb
Oh, the wake-up bomb
Oh, the wake-up bomb
My heads on fire and high esteem
Get drunk and sing along to queen
Practice my t-rex moves and make the scene

The Wake-up Bomb

(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
I look good in a glass pack
I look good and mean
I look good in metallic sick wraparound blackout tease
I scud along the horizon, I drink some sweet tree
I get high in my low-ass boot-cut jean
I like being seen
I look good with my drink-eat-no-sleep, take-a-leap longevity
I get high on my attitude, latitude, 1973
Im in deep
My heads on fire and high esteem
Carry my dead, bored, been there, done that, anything
Oh, the wake-up bomb
Oh, the wake-up bomb
Oh, the wake-up bomb
Oh, the wake-up bomb
My heads on fire and high esteem
Get drunk and sing along to queen
Practice my t-rex moves and make the scene
Carry my dead, bored, been there, done that, anything
