Why You are so good to me?

Premium Member To Earn a Pardon

Hoping to earn for their sin a pardon
   Eve saw the damn snake
   And began to quake
Snapped snake: "Out of this garden you're barred in."

Rise up and earn the victory
Do not settle for second best

Always motivated to strive for excellence

Put yourself in the position to aspire
Walk along the golden path

Premium Member Tough Way To Earn Wings

Pandemic crisis
Hospital overload
Unprecedented
Panic mode

Double shifts
No time for tears
No one signed up
For a suicide mission

Heroes collapsing
One after the other
Earning their wings
And our respect

Earn Dont Take

He is a mechanic
Repairing failed brakes
to help or to worsen
I know not

for many have fallen victims
in his act of mechanikism
the failed brake he repairs
but to second mission it

He wants it second missioned
but the result he reasons not
for life he thinks laughed
The car now bloody

If I Earn Two Paisa

If I earn two paisa
I'll buy bread with a single paisa
and by the other, I'll buy poems

because in my life
the poem is the best flower
the poem is the best fragrance
the poem is the best darling
the poem is the best friend
the poem is the best food of heart

Earn the Others' Respect

M-en's given respect 
H-as to be ardently earned; 
A-sking is not an option, 
R-equest too is just burned.

M-an must learn to respect, 
E-arly eighth of September; 
M-aking someone's esteem
B-ig, great, and better: 
R-egard is highly special, 
E-ven utmost and perfect; 
V-ery good in your endeavor, 
E-arn the others' respect.

Earn Enough Money

J-ust earn enough money, 
O-r make both ends meet; 
V-igorously use your hands, 
E-ach job must be legal or 
N-eat. 

E-arnestly earn enough money, 
S-ixth of March early Tuesday; 
P-ay all your bills on time, 
L-ive your life in a nice way. 
A-lmighty God will show you 
N-othing but milk and honey; 
A-sk Him for bountiful blessings, as you earn enough money.

Something You Earn

You're there
Right there
But somehow you're not there at all

Looking now
Even now
Your eyes stare like a barren wall

Always leaving so I can't see you
Forever going and leaving me behind
What's the logic of your actions?
If only I could read your mind

Take time
Anytime
To set this impossible mess straight

Always late
Too late
Sorry, but I feel as if I I shouldn't wait

Now it's my turn to leave
Never again will I return
Maybe now you'll realize
Respect is something you earn
