Improve in what you are

Tiger thrives by fight.
Deer does by flight.
If tiger or deer, be as you are.
Both ways you can survive.

Thought is the cause

The anxiety is born off fear,
The fear is born off desire,
The desire is born off drive
And the drive, from thought.

The change is not changing

Earth moves; moon revolves; sun burns.
Season changes; animate
and inanimate all change.
You are not what you had been

Poets and critics

The poet is a child, emotion ridden.
The critic is a teacher, a check dam.
The poet bursts to cry or weep.
The critic stands there with a whip.

The wholesome

Be total if you want to jump a well.
Be total if you want to believe God
How well and how deep you pursue,
And not who is in focus, brings you solace.

Be with minimum anxiety

If you tend to achieve much in less time,
If you tend to expect high from low,
And if you tend to reach through short cut,
You buy your anxiety against your health.

No punishment

A butcher cuts goats; a hunter hunts hares.
Some plunder honey; some net fish.
They do not expect punishment of God.
When you’re robbed, will He punish him?

The revolutionary

The system should change,
The society should change.
Attitude and value should change.
It is the wish of a revolutionary,
Who, however, will not change.

Love ends as mirage.

I had love for her; she never repelled.
It grew into passion as she had fueled.
It turned to addiction with no resistance.
Now I am left high and dry, as she drifted.

I pine; she is fine.

Equality

Communism advocates equal distribution of wealth.
Can there be equal reservoir of demands to that wealth?
Will not then there be either spill over or stagnation?
How will initiatives and drives come to better one’s life?
