Peace of mind is the unique quality
of any individual person
depending only on own emotion
identifying personality.
Life is a struggle, life is a challenge.
Path of life is not smooth, but uneven.
On you, vast field of action is given.
You think on peace of mind, how to manage !
One may not go for conflict to carry.
Peace of mind is being’s priority.
Other confronts on own ability,
leaving peace of mind as secondary.
Dynamic activity at random
can never get along with peace of mind.
Turbulence and irritations entwined.
Peace may leave, while working in broad spectrum.
Enthusiastic aggressive being
hardly bothers about peaceful environ.
‘Righteousness’ is only criterion.
‘Work for each other’ : Song of life to sing.
In life peace of mind is not the target
Be compassionate and stand for justice
Be ruthless truthful to destroy malice.
Act always right, even peace to forget.
Oh my shadow, my closest companion !
Tell me , what’s your actual criterion?
Are you following me or I’m to follow ?
sometimes long, sometimes short, broad, wide or narrow !
You are to flee, when deep dense darkness to grow !
May be sideways, back -front, diagonal, below,
as light with me be capable to allow.
I can never catch you, you are fugitive.
Since I’m alive, in bright light you will survive.
But in dark, you will bid bye to me and leave.
Always playing Hide and Seek in morn and eve.
In dark, you are ready to go, I believe.
Doesn’t matter, whether you be at back or front !
It’s just too difficult for me to confront !

‘the way I please you’ ...

Gems and precious metals are talking about volatility...
Many of the Metals said that they differ only in weight while the Gems claimed that they differ only in their cuts.
Craftsmanship is one criterion in selling one's worth, beauty and prowess of any precious gem or metal other than cut, clarity, weight, color and carat.
A gem asked, "Is volatility only applied on big-time players -- buyers and sellers?"
One precious metal reacted, "No. Everybody here is big time. And we are all here."
Another gem asked, "How do you do the buying and selling here?"
Another precious metal reacted and said, "We raise one open hand and push it forward to sell or a reversed open palm pulling it towards you to buy."
That's how trading in stock market started.
It lacks every rhyme or reason
To bake a cake and not serve it
It takes away the season
And leaves a bad taste to sit
Here's a baker opening shop
Who's a few slices short of a loaf
Abruptly brings his sweets to a stop
To the abandonment, me, the oaf
I had looked forward to his cake
Is Connie not allowed a sugar rush
Yet no reason given to the break
Only an indelible slight and hush
What I'm driving at is not that sweet
But a contest here at Poetry Soup
Where the sponsor got happy feet
And skipped out on the group
His slight, "no winners chosen" ... gang
As every criterion followed to a tee
Yet his answer leaves mouth's to hang
And a body of work to drop to a knee

Human Spirit
The Human Spirit
I own !
The Human body I inherit.
Well known !
Always ready to exhibit
Human criterion.
My first and foremost duty
to honor Humanity.
That's my priority.
Sublime soul in serenity.
I am not religious
but always righteous .
Of course Emotional
Yet Rational.
Feeling grateful in grace and glory
to carry immortal soul.
In one birth won't end human story :
My great console.
Through cycles of life on re-incarnation
I will fulfill my ambition.

Loyalty
Solely, merely, only
Unique and pure
No conflict and blind compromise
No puzzle
No criterion
No mind map
No mindset
Maybe no harms
Before you're lost and regret
We're loyal because we love , we believe
Maybe loyalty must base on
Love,humanity and democracy
But not merely canvassing
Selfishness,greediness and
benefits
History did tell us
Politicians are cunning sometimes
Politicians may have questionable loyalty
They're merely loyal to their families, friends, parties
Himself
Selfishness, greediness and benefits
Rather than his country
And his people
Keep your eyes open
You can change your loyalty to the politicians
Of course not to the country you love
But because of the country you love
You must make good use of the votes
At your hands
And merely at your hands
To save your country and the people
Brace For Impact
Brace for impact with tact
and promptness
to access success
on venture or adventure
at present or in future.
Meet the challenge at any range.
Brace for impact
Act, react or interact:
Always in progress
proceeding dauntless
never to regress!
Even if to endure failure.
Work if gone wrong.
Stay stable and strong
Rectify and correct.
To be precise and perfect
Keep your head erect.
Honest approach with sporty spirit:
Victory or defeat not the criterion.
Dynamism is the countable credit.
Whatever be the environ
Calm cool or turbulent
Hopeful or despondent
Confront at every front
Face fearful fact.
Brace for impact.
Title chosen Brace For Impact

Contest by Edward Ibeh
Host of Infinity
Guardian of secrecy
Gently ceding gateway
Uncharted oceans vessel
Sailing from ambiguity to concreteness
Symphony of numberless truths
Supreme revealer of the unknown
Rewarding those holding the posture
Correcting the stare and fine-tuning criterion
Wizard who breaks the spell
Cast on by false conscience
And its obstinate madness
Enhance my senses with your aroma
And take in your wings to pleroma
Spring in Air
Spring in air! Spring in environ!
Spring is blooming at early morn.
Joy all around
and to astound.
Freshness: The prime criterion.

. Spring in Air'
Contest by Mohan Chutani
The defamatory claims and the offensiveness,
The capacity to distinguish objects by the swiftness
Direct statements related to the correctness,
Enhancing one's level of moral effectiveness.
Contradictions throughout the course thickness,
We've come to a fork in our trip to homelessness.
All hopes and dreams have faded with happiness.
The truth was concealed behind the darkness.
I'm arriving familiar with the ending of the loneness.
Human integrity is hidden under eternal nothingness.
Where to learn receiving peace via sin forgiveness?
How can we beget abounded generosity and kindness?
Furthermore, strive for the most exact faithfulness.
And find the urge to feed and feel the gracefulness.
We will not be conveyed criterion of moral rightness.
Spirit of unrest rouses me from my wakefulness.

ON MY JOURNEY
Trying always to walk on path: Righteous.
May not be that so-called ‘Religious’.
Driving car of life in determined gear.
on ambitious track with vision clear.
Self-confidence, Truthfulness and Honesty
are three disciplines in my Dynasty.
Confronting betrayal, malice and lies
with stern reproach, never to compromise.
Diligence, ceaseless effort to explore
While love and compassion not to ignore.
‘Humanity’ is my religion:
Morality being criterion.

Of blind cocks
that crow at dawn
Dyeing, drying on
the thorns of humanity
The Blood of non-creation
and criterion of a nation insane
Inhumane and decimates
to the red strains of Children’s games
Glory and praise the
ascensions of one
The sum of masculinities abortion
The burnt image
of the aftermath.
Go and see
the walls of None
The tribunal of dung
Crown the one-eye worms
Anointed in rotted empires
Furies scurry and bury the thoughts
Of lace and grace the masses of fame and shame
The brutal pyre of human’s creed,
the immune one
The dyeing,
drying of the horns of cruel black sons
The burn of dark hands
The blood of divinity
The nation
Is at war with profanity.
Sanity
What is humanity?
Those who believe that God is not omnipotent
Because he doesn't prevent adversity,
Judge with the human criterion of good and evil
Which doesn't apply to God himself, for God's kingdom
Lies beyond the planes of upheaval!
