He carries a wound that festers with smell,
He fears within it, bad germs might dwell.
Since losing his folks, he’s lost everything;
Each morning, he wonders what life will bring.
Each coin that he grasps, he holds with great care,
For hunger and pain both watch him in fear.
He eats little and soothes his pain with balm,
His survival depends on what's in his palm.
His parents are gone, yet grief roams each day;
He lives through the nights with no place to stay.
Yet kindness seems to have gone on a trip,
Leaving only alms within his firm grip.
Just twelve, yet his dreams have dissolved into dust,
His pockets stay bare, life’s balance unjust.
Despair fills his soul, ignoring his prayers,
Alms can't dry up all his endless tears.
How soon will death call to take him away?
Compassion stands cold, anguish paves his way.
He searches for help, but none can be found,
Somehow, death's fear races all around.

When erst fears to rest are laid,
within love’s heavenly glade
and a little divine aid,
bliss is readymade.

Samuel saw her screaming for help in the sea.
Esta failed to save her friend who was drowning
And some people could make fun of the victims.
Two brave men by the seashore jumped Into the sea
to rescue them, as they were in the harzardous
zone of sharks and some dangerous reptiles.
They succeeded to bring them to the seaside
and managed to organize some hot coffee
and tea for them in few minutes.
Esta and her friend thanked Samuel and his friend
for assisting them when some other people wished
their death into clear blue water.
Their friendships turned into love after some weeks.
Samuel came to love Esta so much and they decided
to live togather as wife and husband.
So their parents met to discuss about the dowry.
Everything was concluded according to their culture
and traditions, then they married traditionally.
so their dream of living together fulfilled.
A year later , they got a male child and named
him" Remembrance."
To express how he got a wife of his choice
through assisting some desperate women in the Sea.

The time is now such
All must Dutch up.'
In 2023 speak out free.!
Value freedoms prize
Not humanity's demise
There's scum afloat
On a stagnant moat.'
Skim the surface
And ready the boats '

We are indebted to the universe.
Energy comes with a price and we all must pay.
Why be a servant, when you can be a master of your divine spark human
experience, by creating immortal memories, so you can live through the mind
of men.
Man and Woman is a star restrained to a body.
The bodies are the planets, revolving around it central suns.
Man haven't realized how great he is.
For man is the sun of God.
Come sit! Let me pour LIGHT in thy brain.
Man appears to disappear not realizing, he exists in silence and darkness.
Masculine and Feminine gave birth to a child, whose name is balance.
From balance came order.
Together they dominate man's life.
Escape the wheel of karma or you will be doomed to come back here.
By man own doings, he attracts more karma to himself.
Therefore, he must face all consequences as if he was in court.

Ted simply got self reduced;
Shown by Evidence produced.
His rash claims had been induced,
Jane having had him seduced
And the Quite False Ted adduced
After, he was introduced.
God, please, shame Jane and Constance
Now that Ted needs assistance
And is damned Weak Resistance.
Owner of the good is red
His sweat: now Jane's Daily Bread
"Just how could you Mister Ted
Another treat like The Dead?"
In these times losing your head
Over Eves that won't you wed."

Your sufferings, all alone
To your rescue, a loan
Instantly, a seed you've sown
Finally, you smell nice in your cologne
and now, they say him we own
Their hats, each takes off for you
Like a gullible ewe,
Thou attend to the needs of not just a few
In the mad rush to help all in queue,
Their jealous minds have you no cue
A pit, they dug and covered with a mat
In the night, they dash out like a bat
and in the morning discuss where you sat
In the midst of cats, an innocent rat
Playing not outside its flat
Certainly, the one you love you know
The one who loves you? No!
Sometimes the one you love, a foe
In your creator, you glow
and reap what you sow

Hover over my trauma, sharp as a vulture, swoop
Surround old scenarios with an offer to devour
Wipe the memory card of pain I play on loop
Grab my glitches with talon weapon power
Wounds bouncing red announce danger
Jab at, stab, peck out infection, empty of pulse
Rip it, sniff the adrenalin, swallow all sorrow
Pluck eyeball delicate, until blank as dolls'
They blink thanks, hurt healer Hallowed
Wounds open have happiness follow
Latch onto my carcass, alight at cliff side guard
Reptilian talons take off, lift me limp and ripe
Black soil fall apart, fresh organs' harvest
Seasons redefined by your vital swipe
Wounds swept ride a wayward kite
Feather buffer bolstering capable chest convex
Adopts torment, swiftly rids it from intruder
Cleansed, amended by aves benevolence
Oblivious to doubt with bathed bruises
Tandem scourers never marooned

So now we got a stimulus check,
our pockets full, one would expect.
Our larder crammed with cans and jars
to see us through Old Winter's wars.
If only true, it would be nice.
This small amount just won't suffice.
Our sons have mittens, though threadbare;
but better than their underwear.
The blankets--two apiece, but thin.
Their shoes: sad sights, just to begin.
The soup last night was a watery bean,
with day-old bread that's trending green.
The winds blow cold thru our front door;
linoleum cracks adorn the floor.
My job is gone, so is my pride.
I don't like living just to abide.
Now the money's gone and so's the food.
Would I complain? You bet I would!
Still, I'm grateful to have a roof;
not like next door: their lease went poof.
When will those rich folks on The Hill
think of the rest? I guess they never will.

Giving each situation due consideration
those who are gracious comply to best timing
Family and friends retain highest dedication
Giving each situation due consideration
Offering helpful service, selfishness chastened
peaceful demeanour with intentions aligning
Giving each situation due consideration
those who are gracious comply to best timing

When the curtains are closed
Enjoy a moment from the basement window
Your mind has many thousands of rooms
In some cases you will need support wheels
An insoluble knot that robs you
the opportunity to let your mind fly
Do not behave as a lobster without claws
It's a process, be patient with yourself
You must walk paths
as you have gone many times before

You are completely my extension:
Most of the time trying to seek my attention;
From the depth of my soul you are my life:
All others are teasing me to become your wife;
You have already entered my heart like a violent storm:
So please,come and swipe me against the norm;
Your love sighs ..,echoes to me..
No matter how long is our physical distance:
I would just wish to come beside you..
And calm your heart's feelings by my assistance;
Let's retain faith in our love really strong:
And sorry for making you wait so long; !

Compassion
Is a compulsion
It is that thing
You can not let go
It is my thirteen year old self
Late for school
Crushing the skull
Of a snake run over
Found writhing at the side of the road
No creature
Too low
For compassion to show
