Premium Member In Love and War

You've heard it said?
All's fair in love and war!

Well,
most ethicists,
even war-mongering philosophers,
disagree with the "All's fair in war" part,

As do just everyday Earth-patriotic folks
who loyally prefer not to be bombed 
and automatically rifled
just because some crackpot(s)
in the nearest capital city plutocracy
decide to make war,
using our kids and tax dollars,
instead of love,
co-passion,
solidarity with Earth's pro-life health.

All ethicists,
and folks who find compassion 
to responsibly risk vulnerability 
of a loving relationship,
disagree with the "All's fair in love" side
of this unmindful equation.

Fairness, equity, of powers to freely say
Yes
or No
to another's invitation into passion
is a prerequisite to love,
grace,
mutual integrity of thought and feeling,
regardless of how short- or long-term projected.

It would be more valid
and validating
to observe,
All is at risk in both love and war,
but, unlike violent acts of hate
and fear
and anger
and greed,
and even everyday impatient
risks of love are often fairly balanced
with opportunities for growing healthy cooperative resilience
patiently communicating together,
and certainly not warring unfairly apart.


Tell Me Not To Care

Everywhere I go, you’re still there.
They say all’s fair in love and war
And before, I believed it,
But deception is a wake up call
And I’ve received it.

Love and hate,
How you manipulate the past to suit you.
I can’t even tell if what I remember is true
Because your lies and facts are so intermixed,
Like flowers and weeds in a dirty garden. 

You’re a constant reminder that 
Life offers no guarantee
And no happy ending.
You keep bending the story until
Even my friends don’t know what to think.

Tell me to come back
And I’d do it. 
Swallow my pride- 
No, wait, 
I won’t put myself through it again.

You’re the cigarette left in the pack 
After I quit.
The booze left in the bottle 
After the liver’s gone to . 
And now I’ve accepted it.

You don't really see me - anymore
But you’re always - on my mind
Ever hour – days on end 
But you’re his – girlfriend

Oh whoa - is me
It’s as bad as - it could be
I see you - all the time
But you’re his – and not mine

I'm in love with my friend’s girlfriend
Unlucky me all over again
Unlucky I’m out there hangin’ ten
I tried to look the other way
But my heart wants to have its say
And I can’t keep pinin’ away

He doesn't - deserve you
He hate’s dogs – and cats too
He mess’s around – all over town
And you know – what goes around…

You don't see it - but I can
It’ll be ok – I have a plan
I know – you love to dance
I also know that - he can’t

I'm in love with my friend’s girlfriend
Unlucky me all over again
Unlucky I’m out there hangin’ ten
I tried to look the other way
But my heart wants to have its say
And I can’t keep pinin’ away

He’s all surface and more
He gets drunk and snores
All’s fair in love and war

I'm in love with my friend’s girlfriend
Unlucky me all over again
Unlucky I’m out there hangin’ ten
I tried to look the other way
But my heart wants to have its say
And I can’t keep pinin’ away

I tried to look the other way
But my heart wants to have its say
And I can’t keep pinin’ away

Please make this lucky guy’s day

Premium Member SELFISH EGOS OF WAR

             “ Everything is fair
                in Love and War.”

               Why It is said so ?
                Root cause is Ego.
              ‘Ego’ is itself selfish : No doubt.
              Self -Centred : Absolute .

          Most condemned word is “WAR “ !
          No explanation is needed  : Most clear !
          Mainly to overpower other
          Races, Nations, those are 
           weaker !
          Whatever :
         Only Common people are sufferers.
  
          Tormentors are Invaders  !
          Mostly political Leaders.
          No wonder !
          Entire blame goes to administration -
           obstructing progress of civilisation.

            Humans mainly fight
           violating human rights !

           War entwined with selfish ego
           somehow to forego ~

            Selfish Ego to demolish ….
           Peace and love to cherish !
          To attain perfect civilised world 
          From dictionary, remove the word
          ‘WAR’
         forever.

Retarded soul

Do you know how I feel right now?
My heart is finally free from all those ties that broke my soul apart.
As, my soul has finally learned not to yearn for love.
It has learnt to let the leashes free and not surrender to untamed emotions.

As it swirls around the whirlpool and twists along with the time wave, 
I have realized that it's better to keep myself restrained with temporary people for permanent progress.
Because my mind has been able to finally see through those unspoken thoughts and unexplained looks.


As I turn around and see myself, 
I see people wrap me around in an unquestionable array of thoughts.
A wannabe piece I am.
Who has too much time to spare and yet sit in despair.
Clinging close,  wanting that warmth and care.

Oh I never liked being like that.
Marathons that I have run made me choose to succumb.
With no time to spare, loneliness filled the air.
Oh I was a useful connection not a close one.
Success?
Oh, it never brought a smile.
Free as I could fly on a deserted island.
Smiles and laughter kept echoing through the walls.
Change, I did.
For all the time that slid.
All I wanted was to feel as one.
Singing rhythms of cries in unison as time still sliding along the waves.


In this game of love and war, 
war seemed to be more fair.
Books were more faithful than people I say. 
Lonely it was but I still anchored the ship in a way.
Room for many but none in call.
For times I wanted to lean in for once and all.

Oh they are growing buddy, still they are.
Your soul yearns for warmth, but you’re still at the start.
With love that you wanted, you failed to run the race.
They have reached midway but you’ve still not begun the game.

So what?
Time is flowing forward unheeding my call.
But yet there are tunes unsung and coins unflipped.
The Road to be taken is yet under my shoes.


Three Sides To a Story

There are three sides to every story 
Your side my side and the fact 
How you look at a story depends on what side you sit but what are the facts 
So many of us like to hear a lie 
Sometimes the truth is hard to hear 
Don't listen to one side of a story, the truth gets lost in one's perspective 
All voices must speak
Then you determine the facts 
The truth will never be silent 
Don't trust your eyes, from your view it all looks the same
We all have our own truth 
How fair is it to imprison a man without knowing the truth 
Look at both sides of the coin 
You maybe surprise at what you find 
It's never easy to walk away from anyone so listen to the two voices that speak
Don't convict a man without evidence that's not honesty 
Not all is fair in love and war because everyone wants to win 
Most of us are victims of our selfishness only want the best for ourselves. 
Listen to both side of the story

The Mirrored War Room

"The Mirrored War Room"



We are all mirrors
cloned reflections

The Key of Life
turns

Inside Woman

Womb eternal
Fallopian armed

for Love and War
left and right

Inside Woman

Portal 
past into future

through other worldly 
dimension

The Key of Life
turns 

Inside Woman

The pain of childbirth
a small cross to bear

Soul transported
from the dark chamber

touched briefly 
by the life giving Man 

transported to 
Life’s war room

received through a corridor
of temporal paradox

What Light 
waits the other side?

Soul delivered safely
predestined
unsafe unknown emancipation 

Another soul looks 
for its Self 

In the Mirrored War Room
Windows reflecting Windows reflecting
 
now slowly opening
knowledge 
arrives 

Soul finds Self
In the Mirrored War Room

Repeats Life Lessons
Remission of Sins

Soul departs Self 
Survives

Returns,
Begins Again

Kill You Today, Love You Tomorrow-Love and War

I lay in my bed day by day,
thinking of what next to say,
I feel I dont love you 
anymore,
its like I was drowning & now 
I'm ashore
I feel no love & no hate my 
heart is sore.
all is fair in love & war 
Inside my twisted mind i mix,
Two very different links, 
Today you die, 
tomorrow you cry,
today I'm wielding a sword, 
tomorrow I'm defeated by 
your words.
I see you in my dreams, 
but we are on different teams, 
it feels so right & yet its so 
wrong, 
its like I'm in heaven, but not 
for long. 
I will kill you today & love you 
tomorrow, 
this day is on happiness & the
next sorrow, 
Why am I like this? Are you to 
blame?, 
Why are you always that 
flame?, 
I stand in the midst of 
Armageddon
ready for war, 
with my armour & hammer 
looking like thor, 
I see you on the other side 
are you looking for more?, 
only God knows what it is 
we're fighting for!

Bye Bye My Galactic Sky Bomb-My Broken Reindeer

BYE BYE My Galactic Sky Bomb
You made my heart climb Zion
Then… 
 you threw me in the Atlantic
and downed me like the Titanic

I fell so fast from your holy grace
like a tripping child… who can’t keep pace
How quickly you did ride “off into the night”
One blond banner’s hand
                           …and you took flight
Oh, yes… you struck with Cupid’s aim
but you lack the nobility 
                     for Robinhood fame

“BYE BYE BYE” My Galactic Sky bomb
Yes…you made my heart climb Zion
but I am still solid and in the game 
you won’t catch me crying shame!
Cause triumph follows the victor’s toils
it's to the survivor …go the spoils!
In love ….and war… we are now complete
a tidy blue bow… I drop at your feet
and may I say …as I casually go ...
you have permission… to watch my flow
So…Peace out ..you broken reindeer! 
For sure... you won't find me here  
...again

Premium Member Love and War

My heartstrings he played with a gentle touch
Trust works both ways with such blissful delight
In midnight garden his kiss made me blush
Memory so dear will cherish that night.

Turbulent time imminent war proclaimed
Echoes of armour and shields polished bright
I sit with my needle fear is unfeigned
My gentle lover is a fearsome sight.

Subjected to masculine rules and whims
Emotions are kept under strict control
Although my future looks extremely grim
I have one thing to guard that is my soul.

Love comes at a price in uncertain times
One midnight tryst I remember sublime.
