Poverty Defines True Wealth

 Don't know if human's will ever see
 every soul born, is right where it's meant to be
For the rich to become the richest
 there has to be a place for the poorest

The entire world is built up from the same level of dirt
 each soul is born without knowledge to cause hurt
Humanity teaches us what a human's life is worth, by money and glory
 I am to believe all lives are priceless, every soul fit's to tell Earth's story

The luckiest to be born, is that of a poor man
 he learn's the treasures, of everything he can
Those born into all riches, have no true understanding of richness
 seeing us not as human's, but those living in poverty as an illness

Love start's from the soul, and from there it is taught to grow
 the rich find another kind of love, one only brought with dough
Love, trust, compassion and grace defining the difference in richest and wealth
 t'is the beggar off the street, who climbs the toughest road to earn his wealth 

He is the most blessed man, he is rewarded with the most valuable key
 for his wealth is humanly uncountable, for only God know's the value of he...

My Poetry Defines Me

Shower of autumn leaves and acorns,
And rustling sound as I stroll.
Those mesmerising bubbles all-round,
As I dive in the pool.
And also, when, looking into his eyes,
Silently, I can walk thousand miles.

Yes! This is the poetry to me.
The power to see the unseen!

A lady dressed in pink, in my sight.
With complementing accessory soaked in glittery white.
And my heart fondly admires, 
Wow! That blushing pink charmer!
Just like an innocent pearl in an oyster.
Adorning beautiful pearl in white,
Gracefully gleaming bright!
And also, when I see those young, tanned lads,
Completely soaked in mud.
And, scaring me, with their thud.
Then, smiling broadly to show their set of teeth.
Oh! I love them, they are all sweet!

Yes! This is the poetry to me.
It definitely beautifies my thoughts!

When I see my friend upset.
Without even a word, I know his mindset.
Slipping quietly my hand on her hand.
I can feel her with my inner strength.

Yes! This is the poetry to me.
It teaches me to empathise.

When I am low  
Poetry raises me back, to glow!
When my confidence begins to retire.
Poetry gives me the strength to fight like fire!

Yes! This is the poetry to me.
Always by my side to support me.

Poetry hones in me, a better orator,
 As it makes me, a better expresser.
Yes! It helps me to build my character.
My poetry is me!

Nature Defines Love

Can I define love through the nature's face?
Both relaxing like grasses in the plain
Can you contrast them in numerous ways?
Both similar like the teardrops of rain,

It gives warm to my body like sunlight
Appears fruitful and larger like a tree
Creates hope in the night like a moonlight
Goes deeper and deeper like the blue sea,

So clear like the waters in the wide pond
It brings color like rainbows in the sky
It's with me like the soil and roots great bond
It's a river flowing until I die

   Yes, I can define it without trouble
   As long as I live it is possible

The Thing That Defines You

Which is the most powerfull thing that the universe has till date??
For answering my question you will be using the answer, I bet!!
I know you got the answer but you have to listen more so just wait!!
Let me recite my words of appreciation for it which I had to create..

Let us begin from the pre-historic civilization - the begining of human era
From discovering the fire, the invention of wheel to the torpedos and radar
Or let it be the concorde, the submarines, the satellites or a simple almirah
This ultimate piece of perfection has been in use for all possible bizzare.

This thing which i define as masterpiece has billions of terabytes as capacity
Yet it weighs a kg or two but less than the regular work bag you carry
It is the only tool you have till end which will help you jude your life with great density
So my friends try using it well to have your life's ledger taste like a sweet berry.

From training a child, taming an animal, to participating in buisness negotiations
And promoting your agenda in public speeches this thing always finds the top hand.
It is also about your way of dealing with your relatives which require exchange of emotions
In different conditions and its use certainly helps you in finding yourself in safe land.

Its immense capacity to digest various books on literature and science
And visualize them with apt use of maths and proportions in daily life
Proves its rigid capabilities which helps us in strengthening our conscience
And finally helps its own self to become sharper like a knife.

What is this thing for which Einstein was being credited to have 8%usage
And why is it that a normal human being uses it for only 2 percent.
Actually the more you use it in uniquely the more you unlock the mind stage
And more you unlock the stages of mind the more you get yourself to invent.

If you are using this thing creativily and judiciously you will find yourself in heaven
And using it the negative way will curse you with your life ending up in a hell.
So my dear friends use it well to enjoy the life in cloud eleven
And make this Earth a happy place to dwell........

What Defines Me

What defines me
Christopher Burton
I hear people telling me what really defines me. The people that address me they addresses me as a wannabe thug because the way I act and dress maybe even because I’m brown coming from poverty. Certain people need to wake up and stop being homophobic  , racist , judgmental  and negative . When are we going to accept gay people as an equal as straight people being in love?
When are the cops going to stop shooting on a black and brown person ?
So I ask myself what defines me and all of you.
The world of define can be hard to search but it takes courage to know that we are not afraid to show the world who we really define ourselves.
Don’t let society defines you as a criminal
Don’t let homophobic define your beautiful sexuality.
Don’t let fear define who you are .
And don’t let anything define you negative till you die.
I define myself as a humble prestigious , proud young brown man walking into the beautiful bright light shadows still living in a happy planet world called Earth

Love 
is 
so cool,
it really 
does giggle ones’ heart;
viagra, though, is quite expensive!

The Hour That Defines Us

We’re committed no doubt, when the engines roll out,
as we answer an alarm.
So rally the men, ‘cause the score’s tallied when,
we’ve rescued those from harm.
‘Cause we never back down from a fire attack,
while dragging a nozzle, irons and axe...
We carry a life-saving breath on our backs,
in the hour that defines us.
From a basement below to a high-rise and then?
It’s not a matter of if, but a matter of when...
The shifts are long, but our hearts beat strong
and our brothers stand behind us.
But we’re never seeking fortune or fame,
in the hour that defines us.
When disaster’s on an epic scale in the city dark
and deep, we run all night, the sirens wail,
and yet the city sleeps.
We’ll respond to a plight when the winter winds bite,
and in summer sun that blinds us.
But the minutes come tough when conditions are rough,
in the hour that defines us.
As for brothers in arms who will never forget,
there will be times that try us,
we’ve beaten every challenge met,
in the hour that defines us...

What Defines a Hero

What defines a hero   ?
The eyes of a hero is a sign of respect and courage
It’s the opposite of zero the villain
To be the hero you must help people 
As a hero you are a role model that guides people to the optimistic way.
A hero has great power that comes with great responsibilities in their obstacle life.
The mind of a hero isn’t about the killing of a villain that does flaws.
If the mind of a hero discriminates about how a villain in the society deserves to die because of their mistakes and they kill them then they are   called fallen hero’s turned monster zero’s.
The hero lifestyle is more about the actions of justice it’s really about making peace with negativity .
The hero life isn’t dark
It isn’t a curse
It isn’t torcher or pain
The hero life is honor and light.
We all have a dream to change the world 
We can’t change the pain world unless we change our flaws selves. 
A hero is peace
A hero is justice
A hero isn’t a killer
A hero is a role model
A hero isn’t below zero
A hero is a guardian Angel
A hero cares 
A hero shares
A hero has tears of compassion and lastly joy

That Which Defines Me

As day departs, and light retreats, 
echoes of night beseech thee...
to rest thine soul, drift away from sight, 
to find hidden dreams within me.

The sky so dark, twinkling stars so bright, 
illuminating paths before thee...
flowing rain in streams, winding through old trees, 
to find hidden life within me.

Screams of plight, drown out silent night, 
clawing at tranquility that soothes thee...
to erase thoughts of love, streaming down from above, 
to betray healing hands that guide me.

With night-time so cruel, heavy heart seeks renewal, 
guiding light, shining bright before thee...
to wash away pain, instill hope once again,
to unveil all that fails to define me.

Premium Member This Defines Me

“I'm a no bull crap man”!

I don't tolerate anyone who talks,

out of the side of their mouth!

I have absolutely no time of day

for those sweet talking souls

who come on like your friend

and then desert you when the chips are down!

I'm attracted to true, honest, simple people,

who's only goal in life is to be happy

and wish to make those around them happy too!

Is there anything greater than this,

to spread joy and happiness to everyone you meet,

whatever status they've achieved?

A full life is one filled with joy

and the friendships we value beyond all else.

As I started this with “I'm a no bull crap man”!

This defines who I am and I'm proud to say it

WITH NO RESERVATIONS!

What Defines Love

What does love mean?
Does it explain how you feel inside?
What is longing?
Does it define the emptiness when she is gone? 
What is compassion?
Is it kissing her goodnight when you’re in a fight?
What is understanding?
Is it looking at the world through his eyes?
What describes comfort?
Is it the peace you find in their arms?
What is sacrifice?
Is it doing for them before yourself?
What is love if you don’t follow what’s above?

Bloodline: My Royalty Defines Me

Royalty thrives in the tunnel that is my vein 
Driving my consciousness to reflect power 
Confidence remains high even in the midst of my lows 
Head held high looking up toward my creator 
The pride that exist within, was constructed elsewhere
The mystery lives on and questions still loom
One thing for sure, my pride will never wither

Baseball Defines America

As in many,many poems and novels 
Baseball is something that defines the American people 
Thinking of the season ahead
Realizing that I did not  watch my health carefully  when young 
Happy to make it to 63 
And happy to watch the New York Metropolitans in their quest 
for glory

What Defines Us

It pauses as it comes and goes
Surprises us or on command
Privately only you will know
Unwilling but can be planned

One minute be there then lost 
Tends to make you laugh or cry
Straight forward even crossed
Births the need so we can try

So kind, and a precious tender
Forever there at times or brief
Can be a delightful splendor
The lore in all our own beliefs 

In truth the root of temptation
As it will follow us into our sleep
Is the beginning of all creation
Light hearted or seriously deep

Its what defines our very reality
Will be passing or can be caught
It shapes our very personality
What defines us is our "Thoughts"

Premium Member What Defines Me

So what
Defines me
Is it the stories
Or poetry
Is it my sheer
Perseverance
And finishing touch
It took so long
For me to master such
