Milking Cow

Owning a barn was one of your wish lists
Reaping a fruit tree is not a work of an altruist.
They said blueberry jams are your favorite
Wonder if you’ll eat them at once: Savor it!

Did you collect eggs from a tired hen?
Did you rip off the sheep’s clothing in a pen?
I wonder what the old cow said when you milked him out.
Life must be exhausting: He wished to pass out.

How could a mule please your self-conceit?
I’ve heard your grown cattle gave you money and a receipt.
What did the turkey do to provide you with a thanksgiving feast?
The neighboring animals grin; they must be on their feet.

Does being a Welsh pig make you feel like a “Babe in the City”? 
How could you allow your fierce cats to act like a kitty?
Raising fowls, geese and pheasants is a nice venture.
Should you stop “milking cow” for once: It’s such torture!


(Should parents use their children as an investment?)

Premium Member Love Letter To the Lord

Of course, who can claim to be my lover
Eternally wedded to him I am, in the form of a prayer
That is you, only you, powerful Lord
Revered you shall be as long as I can breathe your word!


Seated on the highest altar of my heart
Forever you shall be the ladies' sweetheart
Even if the guys will want their friendship's part
My lover forever you shall be in your tender heart

 
Feelings are profuse,
You have been my only muse
Lighting up at all times my fuse
Tending all the times to my bruise

Blissful are those seated near the Lord
Guiding them he is,  always away from discord
Pray, altruist Lord,  Love me endlessly
I am yours incessantly, claims my harmony

An Altruist Unsung

She lived beside the old temple that has stood
For years on the rocky  bank of the  silent river
Flowing all through the lining greenery  cover ,     
The woods and the arable land  rich and good ;
Years ago she  was the landlady ruler, across
The several hamlets, who doled out  for free
What they asked for -grains, clothes in a spree
And never cared for the end - gain  nor the loss


It was an abrupt outbreak, an epidemic dreary,
That effaced the  strugglers picking by lot ;
The good landlord was the first to be caught ;
For no cause, nor reason  he became weary;
Leaving behind his suffering soul sans a child
And all his countless riches for her to cherish ,
He finished his spell with no joy, so to  perish
Alas ! the fate what else could be so ,so wild..!



There were mixed feelings and selfish amity
When the folk got more than what they sought
Coaxing the lady with ease and plea distraught
Soon  she was homeless, yet in sound sanity,
Serving  unbiasedly, the destitute, needy poor
Beyond all her ability and resource limit
But never was there a lapse nor any null remit
As the noble soul dwelt on healing their sore
 


Decades  elapsed since, but for no change;
A  slight cry of suffering  reaches her soon :
And she rushes to them be it night or noon ;
None forgets that she is on the eighty range
Oh God! how strange are these facets of life!
While some chase far, the void and the futile,
Ever seeking  somehow just their needs vile,
Noble beings but breathe for those in strife.



 
On the  dismal day --- recall the rustics around,
She was carried away by the floods too wild,
As she tried and saved a drowning child ,
But lost her stance to the unsparing ground;
Hue and cry ,and searches wide found her not ;
A lamp is lit on the chosen day on her door sill
And many offer their prayers thereabout still :
More for favours than in memory of the spot.

altruist

The world doesn’t tend to give you what you want 
Give me a locked box, the indescribable taunt 
What if she was feeling generous? 
In a moment of empathy, some severance 

My fingers delve deep and rummage 
I’d pay your entry fee, some sort of tonnage 
Reaching past the gold, the silver 
Some objects the victims to pilfer 

I can feel it beating at the bottom, submerged by guilt 
Picking up the shattered pieces, always knew you needed rebuilt 
I'll spend all night putting you back together 
Please let me talk to you, I can feel our tether 

Your heart was broken in the bottom of my box 
Why you left it with me is a total flummox 
I chose to return your heart back to you, as you repaired mine 
Maybe this time my act of kindness will cause us to intertwine 

The world doesn’t tend to give you what you want 
But if you give me a chance, maybe I can

Reach Down To Us... Whom Are Lost!

In times truly simple and harmonious,
faith shined with ardent love...to never lead anyone astray, 
and light was never overcome by darkness;
He heard our prayers and granted us joy,
no days were wasted chasing after man-made idols:
now-days those human idols still corrupt and deceive us
with lurid lyrics and satanical music...
'till we become their puppets dangling from a string!


Reach down to us...whom are lost,
lay out all the facts and impose the tremendous cost
for opposing Your will with that wary disobedience;
indulgence is rampant and pleasure is everywhere...
the young have no limitations in their actions,
and the murderous never deflect from their course!
Have we seen another Savior who can make us surrender:
and be aware of our sins and injustice?    


In generations past, family was the foundation of happiness...
all gathered at a table topped with abundant food and celebrate
after saying, ' Grace ' to unleash their thoughts in conversation so elaborate;
today, they have fallen apart and given up on that closeness,
and not  wish for a return to the warmth which glowed into their smiles:
they're glued to a wide screen with images of murder and violence!
The modern man is forbidden to be godly, but be altruist and invulnerable...
detaching himself from the heart's pure affections and consider himself invincible!


Reach down to us...whom are lost,
neither riches or fame can make us complete;
we weren't were born with the natural instinct: 
to discern good and bad things.. even wrong and right:
without  enlightenment and sought wisdom!
If Satan is still in control, we're to blame for letting this happen;
dedicating Him ballads of arrogant and obscene themes and, without concern,
we engage in a marathon of death and gloom!

Premium Member Mercy From the Memory of Multitudes -

Let them say I was a simple, stubborn person,
hypersensative or insensative, a dispenser of partial justice,
a person of particular patience,

may those who encountered me in moments of bliss or blight,
in instances of charity, charisma or condemnation speak of me ruefully & beautifully,
some will surely say that I was apolitical, asexual, atypical,
an atheist an animist, a racist or an altruist, a want to be soldier,
a combatant for my liberty,

others, I suppose, that I was selfish as sin,
courteous like kindness, and furious as a frustrated phantom,
maybe they'll say I was gay or anticompliance, 
I do not dare require truth, fact or fiction from my bifurcated biographers,
I only ask for their breath,
their rosey & ruse recollections of my life so stark,

let them say that they knew me,
let them say that I lived,
that I lived lovingly, lonesomely, and learnedly,
let them witness my reality like laughter in the dark -
