Best Altruistically Poems
Long poems are for the birds!
They have just too many words.
I like ‘em short and sweet,
Like something axiomatic that I can “tweet”.
Poems that appeal to people who are real,
Not some long spiel.
Long poems leave me cold.
By the time you’ve finished them you’re old!
“Keep it simple, stupid” is my motto.
Altruistically speaking, I’m not trying to win the Word Lotto.
Long words too with hidden meanings
Are for people with intellectual leanings.
I’m on a word diet.
My asseveration is: Get rid of the fat words and try it.

Women in my family
Indeed, are rustic-looking and homely
Wake up at four, of-course, with reluctance
Untie the cattle though with inner resistance
Wash each cow and buffalo so impeccably
Remove the dung as though very faithfully
Bake cow-dung-cakes (for fuel) artistically
See to the household drudgery altruistically
Six of them (as ours is a joint family) do not fail
Fight among them, for no reason, and even assail
Pick lice from each other's head, end-of-the-day
Forgetting all false enmities as though act of a play
Cooking, washing, child-rearing, tale-baring,
Sleep, cuddled together, tiredness overpowering...

If
There is anything worth
Dying for, my friend, it is
LOVE:
Love for our God
Love for our country
Love for our family
Love for our friends
Love for our fellow Man
Love for love's sake,
Because
There is nothing nobler,
Nothing more dignified
Nothing more elevated
Nothing more holly
Nothing more sacred
Nothing more divine than love,
For love
Is God's voice
Is God's will
Is God's wisdom
Is God's determination to
Unify the Cosmos and Man alike
And
By doing so to make both of them
whole!
Therefore
Let us love my friend:
Let us love unselfishly
Let us love unconditionally
Let us love altruistically
Let us love compassionately
Let us love benevolently
For
That is the only way
The anxiety of Man for human affairs
Forever
Would disappear and peace and harmony
Shall be established on our planet and in
Our souls!

ABC
When you love someone.
When you love someone, they possess your whole mind
they're in control of your entire body, soul and time.
When you love someone, their absence is cruel torture
dark shadows of solitude follow their brisk departure.
When you love someone, your darkness turns to light
their moonlight brightens even your blackest night.
When you love someone, you love their imperfections
idiosyncrasies, irritations melt under love's reflection.
When you love someone, it's complete and forever
time seems to stand still, whenever you're together.
When you love someone, you always put them first
living altruistically, allowing love's illusion to burst.
When you love someone, their smile mesmerizes
supplanting desperation with hopeful surprises.
When you love someone, your whole life changes
disillusion cedes to hope, your mind, it rearranges.
When you love someone, you feel totally complete
desires satiated with pleasurable emotions replete.

Life on the earth to all is reality.
However, it possesses ephemerality.
Living may be full of hardship or sublime.
No matter what, we are here for a short time.
Despite unpredictable events and trends,
we must share this world with our neighbors and friends.
We convey the good blessings that our Lord sends.
They are perpetuated until our life ends.
There is a reserved place in heaven for all.
Our Lord God takes in all souls that heed His call.
We should love neighbors and friends unselfishly.
Those with God, recognizing His sovereignty,
ones who live their whole lives altruistically,
will dwell in His Kingdom for eternity.
Our dear friend has fulfilled his obligations.
He has passed all his trials and tribulations.
Another soul has departed for heaven.
Our beneficent Lord God, please take Joe in.

Shape our souls into our loving destiny.
Allow all of nature to shine selflessly.
Roll out; take it beyond infinity.
Passion explodes of angelic epiphany.
Bonded intensely, forever altruistically,
Shape our souls into our loving destiny.
Creating shared allure in coupled lucidity,
While delivering unified joy independently
Roll out; take it beyond infinity.
Prevailing to be triumphant elevate probability.
No survival with any loss, definitely,
Shape our souls into our loving destiny.
Breaching humankinds’ lonely dependency,
Divinity of our separate minds, held individually.
Roll out; take it beyond infinity.
Drive our senses into sensuality.
Leaving no moment to ensue sinfully,
Shape our souls into our loving destiny.
Roll out; take it beyond infinity.

Ground trembled
Houses fell, city mangled
Loss and Chaos bull having free run
Many deaths, overnight many born as new orphan
On Ritchers scale, quake measured by *****Sapien
Human destroying Nature on big scale
Natures Tit Tat tale
Wail trail
Global Warming bleeds
Mercury soaring day and night
Nature breached
Humans shall burn, just not sweat
Human Ash in Earth's Oven
Measured Calamity, Natures miracles *****Sapiens never measured
Sunrise, lunar phases, twinkling stars
Blood, pregnancy, katabolism, photosynthesis, cell construction
Jungle, river, valley, mountain, Natures miracles umpteen
Apathy abound, none thinks altruistically about natural restoration
Reduce Mining, Deforestation, Pollution, Reclamation,
Measured Calamity, Natures miracles *****Sapiens never measured
Forgetting Natures havoc is triggered by human havoc causing Nature’s scars
Self-restraint is way to halt Natures destruction
Go green, lessen carbon emission
Save Earth, conserve Nature should be everyone’s mission
Ritcher’s Scale may not be needed, if human increases organic consumption
Measured Calamity, Natures miracles *****Sapiens never measured

I gniting the fire and inspiring one another
N ever giving in to negative thoughts or emotions
G iving and receiving love, thus transmitting life

M ake their way successful in this life,
A lways remembering we are clay in the Potters hands

Anybody can do a good deed.
Just help someone in need.
You can do it. Anyone is able.
Is there anyone short of food on the table?
Do you know someone with a physical disability?
Are there persons unable to live their lives daily?
We must all act altruistically.
It is the thing to do realistically.
Let’s share what we have with help and charity.
Do whatever you can. There is no ceiling.
Doing good deeds renders a good feeling.

Altruistically hedonistic
Your love flow
Is specific
Monosyllabic and rustic
Your reliability excites me
It’s refreshingly different
I’m enjoying my life
In this upright position

Where are you?
Where could you be?
I feel all alone
Without you here next to me.
I want you back.
You presence comforts.
Why did you abandon me
Here in this lonely, poor state?
You had to get.
I know why you did.
For your health and well-being.
The doctors will heal you.
I worry for you
In my loneliness.
I can deal with this.
You should not mean so much.
But you do, and I don't understand.
My own heart betrays
My own knowledge.
How can this be?
How can you mean
So much to me?
We have been friends.
We have been sister and brother.
Small things like that
Offer no proof for my
Unsettled self-misgivings.
I am in love, as I feared.
Here I'm bound
By my will.
To you, your love.
I'm sorry to do this to you.
I hate to hurt you.
If I am, please release me.
You are the only one who can.
I no longer have any ability.
No more skill.
No more motive--save one.
You could use my potential,
You could use me.
Use me for gain.
Use me altruistically.
Any use by you
Is good use to me.
I appreciate your kindness.
I truly love you.
Please excuse my humanness,
It really is quite contrived.
My only real self is me,
And I am hard to find.

Autumn's affect appears altruistically.
Almost always alluring affection.
Attracting adorations admiration.
Aloof attitudes adjust amidst autumn abloom.
