I vow what I have to vow
I show what I have to show
I bow where I have to bow
I know where I have to go
I am learning, earning, burning like a halo
I choose to be a leader so
I push high on every linked neuron
I know what I have to low
Remaining all go to blow
I became a leader so
Honest Earning
=============
We earn everything
Reputation, wealth,
Experience, life style,
We struggle to achieve.
What really last forever
Is honestly earned things,
We enjoy all for a period
But honest ones remain.
What we earn incorrectly,
Will prick our conscious,
That feeling alone is enough
To correct ourselves.
We brought nothing
When we came into this world.
We take nothing when we
Go out of this world.
Earthly possession of ours
Is our own earnings
None will accompany us
In our last journey
We came into this world
With the help of others
Others will carry us to
Our final destination.
Why crave for temporary
Enjoyments, be honest
And acquire permanent
Satisfaction in your dealings.

Mazar ka jo mein gadinasheen hota
To paisa kamanay me bara zaheen hota
Garmiyon mein AC sardiyon me heater
Koi paon dabata koi pani pilata
Koi apni larki ka rishta lata
Mazar ka jo mein gadinasheen hota
To paisa kamanay me bara zaheen hota
Zameenay meri har sobay mein hotin
Thanay kehchari valay bhi sir jhukatay
Log mujhay Peer keh kar bulatay
Mazar ka jo mein gadinasheen hota
To paisa kamanay mein bara zaheen hota.
If you want something
so desperately
you will
work harder-
work stronger
to achieve
what people say
you'll never have
her eyes reached out to me for help
I shuffled the others away
and swiftly sneaked back to make sure she knew
I had her back
I walk to true death
Give me the hemlock of books
Wisdom- divine grave

There silent souls
Slowly goals earn
Where fools can't reach
-03.12.2020 Chattogram
When the earnings exceed our own need,
wealth becomes just a measure of greed!
The meaningless chase of that wealth,
At an immense cost to our own health.
From my poem Dung Beetle
December 2019 in poetry soup.
Arbitrium Divisa 7 contest by Gregory Barden
"The content of our lives,
Is where happiness is derived
With the quality of the events,
Determining our contentment
Or unhappiness if that’s the case,
For any disappointment we’ve faced
Or a dream that burst,
Maybe someone else came in first
How we repair that which was broken,
Says more than words that are spoken
Easy to make an excuse,
Some people are so profuse
Pointing fingers,
That resentment lingers
Better to be resigned and accept,
What are your next steps
To improve,
Or choose
A path to find your success,
Around all of this duress
Because your desire to change course,
Is driven by an inner force
That pulls you up when down,
And wills you to “fight” another round
It is called strength,
Which our happiness is linked
With motivation to acquire,
Priorities we desire
So today choose your course,
Towards happiness and it’s source"
The left is desperately trying to gain a foothold
on the soiled neckbones of socialists and communists.
The right rallies around their Donny guns
and high-wall, lock-and-load Tommy gun rhetoric.
Neither side is working for the working people.
They breathe and breed for their own self-interest.
Cleaving families, battering 2A and mincing babies.
Though our carbon footprints are rather large
we all dream about going green.
But my, how we adore our gassy SUVs,
bidets, gouty meats, and wall-to-wall heat.
We're all hypocrites of the highest degree.
Few are making sacrifices for progeny or country.
We stumble along in the haze of mediocrity.
Where the losers wear medals never earned.
We are led to our deaths by the swine of the earth.
Sipping plutonium from a shimmering nuclear cup.
That looks a hell of a lot like an urn.
Toil
Don’t moil,
Try to foil
Each odd and obstacle
Stand in front of you to coil.
Trump Not Earning Keep Horn Haiku
While we are asleep;
Trump cannot be earning keep;
Busy counting sheep.
James Horn
Now he is in Norfolk dedicating
the Carrier Ford. Nauseates me
seeing a draft dodger wearing
the military items. Wow!!!

I SAW YOUR PICTURE AND COULDNT HELP
BUT NOTICE YOUR FEARFUL EYES
I FELT THE NEED TO COMFORT YOU
AND DISMEMBER YOUR DISGUISE
I KNEW I HAD TO TAKE YOU IN
AND GIVE YOU HOPE AND LOVE
WHEN I WENT TO PICK YOU UP
I KNEW YOU WERE THE ONE
I AM SO EXCITED TO BOND WITH YOU
AND ITS ONLY JUST BEGUN
YOU HAD A HARD LIFE JUST LIKE MINE
YOU WERE NOT TREATED RIGHT
SO I MEAN THIS WHEN I SAY
TOGETHER WE WILL FIGHT
AND LIVE THE LIFE WE BOTH DESERVE
TO SLEEP IN PEACE AT NIGHT..
TO COWBOY..MY RESCUE DOG

I don't know how?
And I don't know why?
But I finally feel it
And day by day
I see it
Someone watching over me
Even when I am wrong
And why me?
Why not me?
And why only now?
Its like I am being urged
Don't quit its not to late
Get set
Be ready
Show me
How much you want it?
You're deserving to earn it.
Earning our wings to fly
Written By Dean Masciarelli

Earning our wings to fly
To give us the opportunity
to get into Heaven
isn’t going to be that easy
for us to
acquire a brand new body
But if we are capable
of getting beyond our
possessions and all the
treasures and the pleasures
of the earth that do not satisfy
then we will be able to join
Jesus
at the banquet table some day
But we must learn how to embrace
true peace and
tranquility with humility and grace
while we are still in our earthly bodies
so that we can get into Heaven some day
and ultimately
earn our own wings to fly for an eternity
