Hopeless Human Beings Due To Misgivings
TENSION PREVENTION
What is fame if I deeply muse
It is nothing but known to all
May be money also is added
And newspapers quote the name
Magazines and journals write
About one's likes and dislikes
If a famous man utters a nonsense
All analyze it very seriously
I may behave like a real fool
And all will clap with great joy
If I just catch a cold and cough
The entire World will sympathize
If I foolishly make a statement
That will be respectfully taken
Assuming me to be highly famous
I continue to make observations
If I possess financial clout
All will dance around me
To appreciate my dance
Though I resemble an ape
If I have strong political power
There will be a huge crowd
Around me to severely eulogize
My monkey face will be lauded
In case I am a great matinee idol
Even if I am at the age of sixty
All will call me the sexiest figure
My baldness will be ignored
If I just come in a small TV show
There will be a massive gathering
To adore me like useless mules
And I will be given great respect
The morals have hit the lowest point
All chase money, fame and name
None has the time to reap mirth
I am unable to see a cheerful face
All look tired, dejected and devastated
Both men and women are greatly confused
There is a chaos in every one's looks
All are chasing something that is a mirage
This must be realized by every individual
Only human beings and dogs are upset
May be dogs are loyal servants of mankind
And man's tension has reached them also
O- Human beings- Now at least change
Live a life of joy and peace and mercy
Love all with deep concern in heart
Then Heaven will grow inside you.

I am a zero not a Hero
At age fifty no achievement
This itself is a bereavement
Why in life no advancement?
Why no reward for commitment?
Is there any chance for development?
Will God bless for some improvement?
So far all have violated the agreement
Due to they-only-no-fully resentment
Hard-work has fetched no increment
I have developed a philosophic sentiment
God has made me come under the firmament
I have confidence in His wise Government
With that hope I do now life-management.

I Try And Do Not Cry
Great losses in my life fast accumulate
To devastate my lie tries this ill-fate
Gate of success is closed to humiliate
I state my agonies with none to annihilate
Torture is born out of every venture
To capture my peace comes rupture
Puncture my soul worries giving lecture
Departure I feel is the very best stricture
Defeat is canceling every possible great feat
Repeat my failures and do not at all retreat
Greet me confusions to mainly cheat and beat
Complete doom unseats me trying to delete
Waver my emotions with severe fever
Offer me not Angels any tangible favor
Flavor of gloom makes life not safer
Weaver of my life is rougher and tougher
Again and again comes severe pain
Gain is never had in any bargain
Chain of upsets brings sorrow-rain
Disdain comes with a chill in the spine
Kicks from fate with cunning tricks
Bricks are thrown and time never licks
Gimmicks of demons come with sticks
Picks me up not peace, but agony pricks
Will is beaten to nil
Pill is used for being ill
To kill time comes with skill
Drill of daily life gives no thrill
Hits give fate canceling benefits
Sits in heart gloom erasing wits
Profits not mind as peace goes to bits
Visits to Temple may arrest all culprits
To hide sadness heart may decide
To provide sorrows, God leaves my side
To guide me, God has firmly denied
To divide my peace, fate has nicely tried
Cry not I but only still try
Why should I bring tears to eye?
High hopes I have to touch the Sky
Fly I will and not lazily on Earth lie!

Indulgence In Useful Divulgence
With fine experience life may bulge
To produce countless internal benefits
But for the World to enjoy huge profits
All such experience we must divulge
Victory-flower is hard to pluck
But it possesses immense utility
So to get it we need a calm mentality
That will keep our emotions in check
Defeats deadly blow
Must not shatter our grit
Once our courage is split
Chances of winning are low
It is a badly wounded oyster
That mends its shell with pearl
Let one learn from that little soul
How courage one must wisely muster
So many cuts are made by the spade
But still resists that really mighty oak
But result comes through the last stroke
And at last spades power is displayed
Diamond is nothing but simple coal
That decides to live totally in exile
Its absence and patience are worthwhile
As it ultimately achieves its dazzling goal
Laziness is a disease like polio
That inflicts mind with inertia
Hard-work is the only panacea
Achieving goals in our port-folio
Mind can be ones close friend or enemy
It depends upon how one views oneself
When the flame of defeat comes to engulf
It is the friend who forms a fire-brigade army
The gate of success is guarded by mind-dragon
In the entering scheme fear is the only snag
Tame the dragon by thinking great and big
Then successfully to the star hitch your wagon
By allowing efforts to flow like the Nile
Defeats can be successfully halted
And tough goals can be hopefully opted
Closing coffin of laziness with hard-work nail.
