Truth is also a lie

Truth isn't what you tell.
Truth isn't what I listen.
Truth is what I feel.

Truth isn't what I write.
Truth isn't what you read.
Truth is what you realize.

Truth is also a lie.

Love n hatred

When you say you Love
Father n Mother
Brother n Sister
Son n Daughter
Him and Her
I see you lie.
Whom you actually Love
is always ' I '

When you say you Hate
Father n Mother
Brother n Sister
Son n Daughter
Him and Her
I see you lie.
Whom you actually Hate
is always ' I '

Dearth of happiness

Every flower resembles your face.

They do not make me happy rather

They speak to me of those days

When we would have dearth of food

Clothing and accessories to make

a living together united a modest life

in a much bigger cell called family

Other than one I am now in expecting

Better days of fulfillment to come.

Every flower reminds me of promises

Liberty to go

If you feel you should go, I'll not say no
Even if I become sad I'll not stop you.

Not that if I don't, mean it I love you little less
I'll also be sad as you'll break embrace.

If you feel it wise, I'll agree with you
together we'll break, together we'll go.

Know my love for you, not for a bird in a cage
together we'll fly away, together we'll stage.

Neither I'll blame you nor you'll blame me.
Together we'll claim, we were never meant to be.

Soon we shall go far away, as afar as we can
We will together go, let us together plan.

Relative Happiness

Now happy they are
They do not have a car.
Or they'd have the sorrow
the car was so narrow.
The car was so cheap
the color was so deep.
Model was so old
inside was not cold.

Now happy they are
they do not have a car.
Or they'd have it to say
their relatives and friend
they were going to buy
A car of new brand.

Now happy they are
they do not have a car.
They do not have the grief
that the car's so cheap

Happiness, a search within.

Wants are fire
Flames are woe
Happiness is a flower
nourished by a shower
How can they live together do?

Money is honey
which you earn for need.
Which you earn by labor
Gives you happiness flavor
Makes you happy indeed.

Look at the eyes of a mother
As she feeds her kids.
Look at her she nurture!
How pretty the sculpture!
Look, look, how happiness breeds!

No one can make you happy

Everybody vs.my money

Insurance agents, investment promoters,
Sellers of everything on earth including my future
Everybody’s hankering after my money

Everybody means everybody.
My money means my money.
There should not be any confusion.

I’m very worried about everybody.
I’m very worried about my money.
Everybody’s very worried about me.

They have a lot of attractive plans for my money.
They are very worried about my future well being.
Everybody has seen future except me.

I can only see their present.
I can only see how disappointed they become
When I fail to put my money in their schemes.

Give your child a Heart.

Give your child a heart, Oh, Mother
Give your child a heart.
Heart that makes them kind
Oh, Mother, heart that rules the mind.

Give your child a heart, Oh, Mother
Give your child a heart.
Heart that makes them wise
Oh, Mother, heart that fights the vice.

Give your child a heart, Oh, Mother
Give your child a heart.
Heart that tells them to care
Oh, Mother, heart that tells them to share.

Give your child a heart, Oh, Mother
Give your child a heart.
Heart that nourishes the hurt
Oh, Mother, heart that consoles the heart.

Difficult to Say

Who's your friend, who's your foe
difficult to say, difficult to know.
Whom you do love, whom you do care,
whom you do trust, with whom you do share
your hope and despair, your happiness and woe,
is perhaps your friend, perhaps not a foe,
but difficult to say, difficult to know
who's your friend, who's not so.

It may not be true but beware
he doesn't love you, she doesn't care
he doesn't trust you, she doesn't share
his happiness and woe, her hope and despair
is perhaps not a friend, perhaps a foe
perhaps you're shocked, afraid but true
difficult to say, difficult to know
who's your friend, who's not so.

Nature tells me

Nature tells me not to be proud
of my riches for I am not
much richer than her.

Nature tells me not to be proud
of my beauty for I am not
much beautiful than her.

Nature tells me not to be proud
of my kindness for I am not
much kinder than her.

Nature tells me not to be proud
of my generosity for I am not
much generous than her.

Nature tells me not to be proud
of my logicality for I am not
much logical than her.
