Military Cop-Out

The armed services think they're autonomous,
after 'Deepcut,' it may no longer be the case;
the man from MI6 paid Colonel Llewellyn a visit,
he informed him that a military court was irrelevant.

He said that the services were answerable to HM Government,
and could no longer abide by in-house decisions;
Colonel Llewellyn looked at the man from MI6,
'Do you have authority to make these comments?' He asked.

He was informed that he did, with a dry smile,
'Situations will be monitored, no initiation rites,
no bullying, no misplaced discipline, nothing like that,'
Colonel Llewellyn said, 'This is outrageous.'

'How do you intend to implement  such proposals?'
MI6 said: 'I can assure you that there is no choice.'

Handling Criticism

 All those who criticize tarnish their image in front of everyone

Criticisms in print are best left undeleted, more they are read, more defamed their writers become

If we ignore criticising people, they will get bored and stop their actions

Those who criticize are surely not our well wishers, they don't deserve to be in our thoughts

Be confident of self, don't allow negative words bring down your self-esteem

Whatever a person thinks about you is his personal opinion, it doesn't mean he is correct

Barking dogs are best left alone. One can never straighten a dog's tail.

Lastly never ever defend yourself and try to prove you are right. You are not answerable to your critic's.

How To Live Happily In a Police State

Let silence be answerable to sound.
Unplug yourself
move with caution through crowds
bow head as if in prayer
yet deny God at all costs.
Let the brave resist...
survive.

Support our leaders
whoever or whatever is in charge.
have no reservations or doubts,
its all for your own good,
for your own peace of mind.
Fake brain damage.

Now that truth is a lie,
agree to agree.
if you are young enough
to be conscripted
volunteer to kill at will.

Avoid clubs and interest groups,
stay under the radar.
Surrender your gun
say you found it in a ditch.

Never complain.
Always smile and nod.
Acclaim proudly
that poverty is patriotism.
Criminals are the real victims,
apologies to all for being you.

When they say we must try harder
to "flatten the curve"
never ask "What curve?"
Believe the official news
toe the line.
Never ask "What line"?

Turn a blind eye
to EVERYTHING.

Cries To Fly

Will it stop me or probably not
I might give up things 
I love For the people I love.

 But when I have got wings 
How could I not fly?
Its my natural tendency how can I not try?
How many times will you keep me tied ,
with the fear of what will people say for once if I tried.

They will see , they will talk;
They will judge me fly with their experience to walk.
 You fear for my idealistic image , You fear from the questioning?
 You fear for my criticism, as You fear for acceptance.

I see your absolute concern, I tend to worry
after questioning my own self for once I ask you to bury,
the thoughts , the talks ,the judgements which have brought
Me the hatred in your mind , the doubts of me as a child,
all the concepts of right and wrong , all this chaos after all,
and I ask myself 
Will it stop me or probably not
I might give up things I love 
for the people I love? 

I might be answerable to all of it,
reasons I give still might fail to satisfy
your logistic terms and socialistic ties .

So the two worlds I belong are way too far ,
 pun being you can always see what you left from each side;
Beside the journey or amidst the sky ;
cries of sacrifice  gives you absoluteness
 the real reason for perceiving and to why?
 
To  breakdown these empty shells ,
Or to  break down my own thrives, I can put my image at stake condition being you believe me without me answering  why?

And each right is accompanied by a responsibility 

Rights are 
Fundamental legal, social, 
Or ethical principles of freedom and entitlement
Acting as rules that define what is allowed of or owed to people 
They are inalienable, universal, and inherent to all human beings
Protecting dignity, equality, 
And safety regardless of nationality, status, or belief
Rights are an important concept in law and ethics, 
Especially theories of justice and deontology.

There different types of rights
Which include Natural and Legal rights,
Claim and Liberty rights

And take decisions without any hesitation

For the consequences of those actions
This concept encompasses various attributes 
Such as reliability, trustworthiness, and accountability

Let us become matured
Together with taking responsibilities 
For every right 
Happy Human Rights Day!

Premium Member Who Knows the Son?

Question not the heart who bleeds,
The one who survives the wars who deceive,
Like the quiet smile, blessed by eyes
Who glisten with joy, inspiration and wonder,
Laughing at the dark and stirring the dreams
Beyond dark’s shadows, 
Where gentleness breathes, exasperated
By the night who beckons – tempting
Hearts to remember only the sorrow and grief,
Feelings leading a soul to defeat

Enduring the desperation of dusk,
Beaten down by the worries, the fears and lusts,
Expressions of a life who has been overcome
By the revelations of despair, discord
All the misfortunes that come to the lives
Who are not lived, but merely survived

Itching ears only hear the apprehension,
Prayed by the soul who is left without recompense
For the light that falls by the wayside,
Always inspiring, stirring hearts to abide
In the dream, the soothing, the embrace of hope
Who comes from knowing that, despite the dark,
There is a second chance, a simplicity, a habit
Found by the soul who believes, the heart who agrees…

In life, despite all the heartbreak and longing,
There is the moment when there comes a knowing
That only love, love from above, can give the soul
What it needs, the beauty and the faith,
The serenity and grace – all the love that comes to those
Who simply know that God is the One who knows
Without love, there is no life, no hope, no finding the way
Through the sorrow and pain – without delay,
It is the love of His Son who makes the way seem reachable,
Makes the prayer seems answerable, 
Makes the world seem like it has a chance…

Without His love, there is no way
But, with Him beside me – I know love will abide
And the joy inside me, that will keep me alive
Inspired by the light who shines on my soul, 
The light of a love far brighter than any sun,
The light that comes to life because there is the SON,
The only SON who makes a way for everyone!

Dash

How unlike a cat is this
slender dash of ink upon the page,
this pinch of print, this little line
of punctuation, adding
its mere millimetres of meaning,
black against white,
significant in its separation
of segments of the sentence,
imbuing words around it with a dab
of consequence or moment.

How like a printed dash
is my black cat,
stretched and stark against the sun-white concrete
of the distant yard baking below,
separating nothing but atoms of air,
elongated, luxuriating,
significant only in herself –
a piece of furry punctuation
that tells us solely that it is,
and needs no function to perform.
By itself, it is of itself,
answerable to no one and to nothing –
except the rain, which has just arrived,
suddenly, in slapping, ponderous lumps,
to soak the stone page and darken it,
and drive her dash to drier quarters.

Hats Off To Cats

Hats of to cats,
They have no trouble smelling rats,
All they can eat for free,
Always someone to pay the vet fee,
Sleep anytime, anywhere,
Never working in the midday sun,
Nine lives full of fun,
Always places to hide,
Not often getting taken for a ride.

No keys to lose,
Or doors to close,
Coats never needing dry-cleaning,
Never bothered by advertising,
Stuck up trees with no fear,
Ladders will appear.

Never short on cuddles,
Good at avoiding puddles,
Not answerable to the law,
Even when they claw,
A place reserved by the fire,
Whenever they desire,
And one on top of the bed,
When not being fed.

Hats off to cats,
For catching so many rats,
But I don't think I could live that way,
Without coffee and chocolate having a part to play.

Premium Member I Am that I Am

"a heartbeat pulsating as living light
free from each and every limitation
I Am that dwelling in unbound delight
the source wherefrom arises creation”
 

O, ethereal emperor of my poem,
 read me... as my initials shape the cosmos ,
the energetic essence of this eucalyptus heart
and I spill stars on the perfumed pages , 
that never leave the diary
of  d i v i n i t y  and  d r e a m s  ...

there is no sacred warmth without the sun,
thus, on the lips of the sky, I sleep with hope 
~ in my humble honeysuckle heaven ~

listen, karma-reapers, sipping sins from kismet
life is a yoga, my meditative muse, 
and I yeild no jealousy from the yarn of jewels,
that soaks not the silence of my soul.

I have no confession, no explanation,
I am answerable to the amethyst starlight,
that sleeps in the kundalini of loyal truths 
for, what remains in the silhouette of the spirit, 
if not something, inked with empathetic elixirs 
breathless ... ageless ... limitless ... 
boundless in the bonded petals,
like the blizzard of bougainvillia butterflies ~
the one born from those blessed brushstrokes, 
where, unfurled within fluent flames 
by a sage-spun saint, I am a saffron soprano , 
a line of  l o v e ... laced with the last star 

I am that I am, but I am no more ~ 
because all that lives has a pulse of light, 
but   I   a m   o n e   with the source 

a feeler, fond of the alchemy of Almighty ...
   and his elysian flower-fused footprints ...
