Twenty-first. Night. Monday.
Silhouette of the capitol in darkness.
Some good-for-nothing -- who knows why--
made up the tale that love exists on earth.
...
FLOOD-TIDE below me! I watch you face to face;
Clouds of the west! sun there half an hour high! I see you also face
to face.
...
Now that you arrived in the afterlife,
What was your earned income?
Hope you did not see the ugliness
...
Men lament that they have no time to do things
needed being done.
Yet, they sit wasting time, watching T.V. for

The riches of the poet are equal to his poetry
His power is his left hand
It is idle weak and precious
His poverty is his wealth, a wealth which may destroy him

On the children's day,
To the Lord I pray.
May God bless,
To one and all success.

He leant against a lamp-post, lost
In some mysterious reverie:
His head was bowed; his arms were crossed;
He yawned, and glanced evasively:
...
Ô toison, moutonnant jusque sur l'encolure!
Ô boucles! Ô parfum chargé de nonchaloir!
Extase! Pour peupler ce soir l'alcôve obscure

New attire and
Sunday,9th May 2021
It is me in a new attire
...
You got your seat
Without any drop of sweat
Relied on your grandfather
Your namesake
...
Who am I to say to you
what I say to you?
I was not a stone polished by water
and became a face
nor was I a cane punctured by the wind
and became a flute...
I am a dice player,
...
Although her load is sometimes heavy,
The coach moves at an easy pace;
The dashing driver, gray-haired time
Drives on, secure upon his box.
...
In my laziness
I started late
To meet you,
You talked to me
...
Que j'aime voir, chère indolente,
De ton corps si beau,
Comme une étoffe vacillante,
Miroiter la peau!

Listen to my words from today
Don't you go searching alone
For Im your leader, you better know

THOU art of this world, Christ. Thou know'st it all;
Thou know'st our evens, our morns, our red and gray;

I SUPPOSE it's myself that you're making allusion to
And bringing the sense of dismay and confusion to.

As a harvester, at dusk,
Faring down some woody trail
Leading homeward through the musk
Of may-apple and pawpaw,
...
No sugar, no honey in the speech of cheater
No thorn, no dagger is hidden in the speech of hypocrite
But every time general peoples are cheated
- why?

From life we learn many a valuable truth
But alas! Some dismiss it as mere froth
While life itself is a riddle
Remember, Death is an inexorable puzzle

What does life stand for?

'Veiled' in hypocrisy...
Deviating...
Sleazy blends
Propagate devious,

Why this imagined need
to look outside oneself
for direction?

Real-world and
Tuesday,17th September 2019
What we see through eyes is really not real!
...
Close set the stores and hide
The abdomen of my laziness. Feed chickenpox
To alligators,
And go outdoors, brown bagging liquor and fireworks.
...
How I could be nature hater?
I was to learn it little later
Life needed natural and mineral water
Nature was God’s lovely daughter
...
Laziness does not work
In this world of now
Veering from the evil smirk
Inner self comes out to take a bow
...
Dance, Dance Dance
everywhere,
When I look at the sky,
I see the clouds dance

Little Ballads Of Timely Warning; III: On Laziness And Its Resultant Ills
There was a man in New York City
(His name was George Adolphus Knight)

Stains on the casements,
dustmotes, spiderless webs.
No chairs, and a man waking up,

Life is meant for joy

Walked into a sanctuary office, the place had a layer of dust,
Do you think Jesus smiles at this or looks on with disgust?
A spot left unclean will soon become a permanent stain,
Doubt the word of God to long and unbelief will remain.
...
For almost a week I have remained unread
Physically fit, mentally stable and not exactly dead
Yet cut off from whole of the word and readers
As power cables here are cut by the road repairers
...
I wake up to the sound of trees
Whispering among themselves
Perhaps about my habit of waking
Up late. All the birds are gone to
...
Tossing and turning she lay wide awake;
It was past midnight
Sleep had eluded her that night
Ticking of the clock loud in the night
...
I was fearless
But now fear has taken over on face
Tiredness is seen
Long chase has become difficult scene

Confidence - Reflection
...
Let them spread jealousy, prejudice and defamation,
We will offer justice, peace and one God's proclamation.
Let them seek narrowness, pigeon-hole and mud from pond,
We will seek open space, shining light and love's bond.
...
One may others largely envy
And hold resentment with jealousy.
One may have abundant pride
...
I am not brilliant.
I highly doubt I ever will be.
I chased it once, came face
to face with it, was stared
...
And I was alone with my thoughts.
Memories swirl in a unison of faith.
Change has been inevitably declined.

Deep in the bosom of a wood,
Out of the road, a Temple stood:
Ancient, and much the worse for wear,

What does the sun daily bring?

Sly Stallion of mankind
Zippered up and gathered
Relief behind a thirst quenched tree
Slowly marches back

Due to benediction,
that talent is yours,
and never shall
You do away with it

You lose nothing

You lose nothing

O, little ant! Sweet ant! !
You line by line run,
On six feet

Wake up; wake up soon dear sleeper,
Morning has arrived, sun has smiled,
Tell me who is inside on bed of laziness?
Who is snoring speedily? Who is sleeping?
...
Gorging food for worms...
Chop the guzzling tube
Beast of the belly
Violently starve
...
I hate sports as a whole
Being lazy in worlds ground
I roam here and there with laziness
My pride close my words in brain
...
In your mind be strong if physically weak,
Under all circumstances continue to seek,
I’m a Disciple and very proud to proclaim,
Yes! Eternally blessed by His holy name.

In his “Snowy Evening”
Robert Frost says –
“But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep”

God, this righteousness, let it not be of self,
For such avails to nothing. Instead, Lord,
Let the righteousness I show be in you, Lord.
And lord, in my flesh I do not share full Joy

Her melodious voice
The sun rays fall
And openly call

Nothing can help

No begging
Is it not cursed?
That you allow person by force

Oh Sun, you raise daily
From the ocean
To rouse me from my laziness
And engage me?

We can always say: Racism has always existed
But IF we learn, educate ourselves in certain factors
like Tolerance, Endurance, and train everyday like breathing
and add being Honest and Love to our hearts
...
I look back in wonder on my life
how differently I trod and proceeded!
When most people failed, I always succeeded!
...
You are now like a withered leaf;
the messengers of death have come near you.
You stand at the threshold of your departure.
Have you made provision for your journey?

1.Shoe-Case, Auschwitz
Clogs, boots and shoes built to the skies
They stun the mind and glut the eyes

Why have things become like this
So many watery, painful tears
And blackened, sad hearts
In the youngest of souls

Corona has done
...
I did not like early rise
Up from bed and to surprise
It is time to sleep
And sweet dreams to keep
...
My garden is a wilderness.
Devoid of all formality
but full of beauty nonetheless.
There everything grows naturally.
...
In a slum area, a school!
I see saplings without uniforms
assembled at the road,
with dreams of a better future

My goodness! My cat!
He's always asleep,
Stretched out on the carpet
In front of the fire,
...
Armed with aptitude, ambition, ability;
being yourself all the time;
carrying calmness of mind and clarity of thought;
dressed in desire, determination, discipline and dedication;
...
People make it so
Hard to get up and get
the remote, which is in
Front of them sometimes.
...
Oh how I miss you, dear poet in me!
When I think about the time we shared,
How you had kept my stick busy in the past
And how you have divorced me suddenly
...
Today,
I saw someone in my mirror
with distressed look,
tired face
...
Everything around is in a slow motion,
Laziness is now a prominent emotion..
The mood surrounding is seemingly low,
Time in my watch too is ticking slow..
...
So keep smiling

Wealth did not take me anywhere
...
Create no such condition
That shall end the harmonious relation
Between heart and mind
That shall turn some senses to go blind

I feel tiredness
Little slackness too
No strong zeal
This is what I feel!

Why people behave differently?

We will not change
...
Face so cute and straight
As we need more time to wait?
So innocent and full anxiety
Wonderful flower sent on earth by almighty
...
A memory of silence, slow rain,
Of a damp violet, unwritten poems,
A shepherd’s call, the laziness of the falling snow,
And a wind taking birth among sleepy pines.
...
My dog-or rather my daughter's dog,
though I consider him mine
(and he, I'm quite sure, thinks I am his) ,
because really we are the dearest of friends-

Prosperity is a lady, who is very fortunate,
To keep the richness of health, wealth and happiness,
She seeks the human, who are brisk and vibrant,
Lack of laziness, over indulgence and ignorance,
...
Two brothers lazy bones were known far and wide
Devoted devils they stuck together on each other’s side
As you can guess on those idle souls life wasn’t kind
Without work they didn’t earn though they didn’t mind.
...
A slow stroll feel
Yet a friction that prevail
Legs are so short
And it impede a long walk
...
In a world where we feel forsaken and abandoned,
A barren land bleaked with loneliness, forgotten, forlorn
A life so hopeless and full of desolation.
A whole generation plagued by an epidemic called depression.
...
Do you remember a day in colonial era,
when bariers and frontiers imposed on africa.
Reminiscing about that day
when the schools through which i had passed
...
Hark! ‘tis the twanging horn o’er yonder bridge,
That with its wearisome but needful length
Bestrides the wintry flood, in which the moon
...
Let laureates sing with rapturous swing
Of the wonder and glory of work;
Let pulpiteers preach and with passion impeach
The indolent wretches who shirk.
