Camp

At camp, we braided lanyards
And spent hours in the pool.
We both dressed and acted differently
From when we were in school.

We played kickball, softball, newcomb
And rehearsed the yearly play,
Plus did arts & crafts and puzzles,
Mostly on a rainy day.

Once or twice throughout the summer
We would take a trip to town
For a movie or for bowling
Or to scarf some ice cream down.

It was low-key, sweet and simple
With no shooting for the moon,
Just a bunch of kids and counselors
‘Til the early afternoon.

What a far cry from what’s offered
Nowadays, but guaranteed
All those fancy bells and whistles
Are much more than campers need.

Nature

O nature there is only your sphere everywhere.......
We here sometimes your thunder and sometimes your murmur.
All of your things you generally offer to human;
morning, afternoon and evening;
God gives us you as boon.
But.......to harm nature people never demure......
When God has made the trees to shade for the people and home for their tiny creature......
then people are there........who started to cut off trees for their convenience.
Hence....... nowadays the fatality aware us to keep this pittance of God wonderfully.
But the stubborn nature of human towards their mother nature will be snatched by the god forever.........
O nature you are our mother.....how much  you suffer.

The Lies Hidden In the Truth

The lies hidden in the truth
What could be worst 
When truthful kindness shared
brings Bitter ness 
What could be better 
To be truthful 
To live in poverty 
Or live by fasle lies
To achieve an easy 
Material success 
So when i listen to 
The boss 
How sweet his tongue 
Rolls
With his opinion
I could hear the lies
Hidden in his truth

The lies hidden in the truth
Everyone has an opinion 
And there lies there truth
Despite even when it wrong 
Is ovious humans cant live 
Without dreams 
Too many goals everywhere 
So tomany challenges is 
Aline with reaching our goals
So when i listen to the truth 
Nowadays 
I hear too many lies 
Hidden in the truth 
Cos humans are not patience 
Anymore 
As is easy to lie 
Than say the truth
So lies are always todays 
Popular truths everywhere 

The lies hidden in the truth 
Too many minds are in needs
So Too many souls are desperate 
Desperate to reach a goal 
Is same every where 
This never ending desire
Where hopes are high or low
Humans still never will stop
This circle life 
That always brings us close
To a hard way 
So we are out of patience 
Searching for a way out of our
Ugly reality 
Is been never an easy life anymore 
Not since we realise in so many believes 
we have known
Lies too many 
Lies hidden in the truth

Shelter Drills

In school, we practiced what to do
In case there was a fire.
We’d quickly exit, silently,
As teachers would require.

But there were also shelter drills,
(I’m talking decades back)
Where we would hide in case there was
A nuclear attack.

We’d crawl beneath our desks and wait
Until the signal bell
Would chime to let us know
We could come out, since all was well.

I don’t know who decided
That this plan made any sense,
For from a bomb, a desk would not
Provide the best defense.

Yet nowadays, a drill won’t be
From any H-bomb threat,
But from kids with guns and that’s a fear
We haven’t conquered yet.

Premium Member Warranty Declined

Seems that with nearly every purchase nowadays for a fee,
Sales representatives want to sell you an extended warranty!

I reckon that's fine should you purchase a washing machine or car,
But the warranty that I was offered today I thought quite bizarre!

A warranty for a disposable camera didn't make a whole lot of sense!
I bought it at the Post Exchange for four dollars and ninety-five cents!

The cashier rang it up and I was dazzled at what the computer displayed!
"For ten bucks you can buy a warranty for the purchase you just made!"

I ain't the keenest guy around, but I considered such a deal a peculiarity!
I astutely deduced, "Gee, I can buy two cameras for the cost of said warranty!"

Premium Member Sonja

And so not knowing her I miss her terribly,
Of all the fire and possibilities,
Stuttering solaces,
The lake in the summer…
I want some, can I have some?

And so not knowing the lake I miss it terribly.
And I make many poems like this nowadays.
A poem not about a lake.
For Heaven’s sakes not a lake…

And so not knowing God I miss ________ terribly,
Of all the fire and possibilities,
When the angels are kicked out of the bar,
How the saloon doors swing in the breeze.
I want psalms, can I have psalms?

Spread truth across my face until I am rearranged into the carpet.
And so not knowing time I miss nothing.

Premium Member Milestone Birthday

A new decade is in front of you to embrace
Reaping the sow of seeds planted in years
Walking the path life has traced without fear
Collecting the joys and sorrows within you

Looking back, makes remember memories
Younger days without  worries in the mind
Until one day, you became the strong man 
Molded strongly with teaching experiences

Nowadays, is a loving husband and father
Hopelessly devoted to his dearly beloved wife
Until someday, death till you apart forever
Leaving as a legacy two beautiful daughters 

Celebrate with your dearest ones your big day
Recapitulating the most important moments
Captured in the bottom of your gold heart
Keepsaked for the future coming birthdays

Dedicated to an excellent Poet and esteemed friend
At his birthday

Tears Never Dry

Nothing lasts forever
Forever I will remember this
As they are the words you said to me
Me and you...you and I 
Whatever...
Had an unbreakable bond
So they were right; 'till death do as part

I was the castle and you my pillar
Held me firm on the ground
No storm managed to degrade your work
You handled responsibilities tirelessly

Best stories are in writings
But your oral skill was an exception
Exceptionally the best stories I have ever heard came from your mouth
So alluring was your voice that it denied me sleep
Very captivating a voice you had

But now you are gone
I am only left with those memories
There is no reality in them
Just illusions and hallucinations
As I remember taking a glimpse at your lifeless body inside that cocoon
Gone to soon

I used to sing songs of adoration
Not anymore as dirges have dominated my mouth
The poems of praise that I used to write make no sense now
I have ended up composing elegies
I used to celebrate parents day but nowadays I am left celebrating mothers day
You taught me how to be happy and I had not mastered it well
That's why I ended up sad with tears rolling down my cheeks...

Premium Member Inventions

Edison is the father of inventions
Bringing light and hope to this world 
And the Wright Brothers too
Bringing closer the corners of the world to you
Nowadays thousands of inventions have accumulated 
And we even didn't know the inventors
We accept and enjoy their hardwork
Their wisdom and contributions
Unfortunately many are misused 
Making the world harder, more sick and more horrible
Who is to be blamed
Of course
The devil in man's heart
Who has overuled 
The pure soul of the inventor
God has given man the intelligence to invent
But man destroys it 
With his own bad motive
Who is to be blamed
Maybe we can't blame God
It's our own fault

Premium Member Oblivion

All alone from my empty tower
I looked at the happenings of the world
And felt go through me, a terrible shudder
Life, nowadays, seemed to be made of lightning and thunder

No more sunny, no more warmth
No more joys, no more celebrated is faith
No more peace, no more respect
Why, would you have believed that life did have such a face?

From my lonely tower, I did wish I could fall into a sort of oblivion
Why, wishing for death does be a sin, 
Wish I for myself not such an abomination
Wish I rather, to wake up someplace where eternal solace is destined!

Sleep, urges my mind
Sleep and leave all of your turmoils behind
The world is old
Now, it has simply become bold

Those atrocities have been present since long
Pray, just remember that here you do not belong
Someday, you shall leave, someday, you shall know of this oblivion
The one type that your will does entertain

But is it here the land of the fallen, I asked my mind
Those beings called ignorant and blind
Why, if the whole world does know that life does be temporary
That here does belong naught to us, beings of mystery

Then, why, why, do they cause havoc
Pray, wish I to be lured into some sort of oblivion
But, hey, a Queen I am, my kingdom does lie beneath my lonely tower
Wish I for strength, I need it, to try to bring to the world, an eternal summer!
