The Democrats want to impeach
But Mad Mitch says that's out of reach
He won't call a vote
Because the old goat
Was practising freedom of speech!...

A practising young obstetrician
Began to review his position.
Childbirth it would seem,
Drove ladies to scream
Ergo, he became an optician!

My mindful cat is practising Zen.

     But often he sleeps quietly and then

     It is difficult to know exactly when

     My mindful cat is practising  Zen....

To be or not to be
I may or not chose to be 
A rampant homosexual
Killer or sneaking thief
Heterosexual predator
A hated paedophile 
My options are quite open
Tomorrow perhaps but not now 
Maybe just a nice cup of tea!...

I’m learning how to fly 
My Mummy says I’ll be outstanding
She say’s I need to do a little
Practice on my landing
She said to stay low level
And to use my common sense
So I’m practising by jumping 
With umbrellas, off the fence

Want all others to be true,
Forgetting its applicability to us too.
Always find fault with others,  
Leaving not even our blood brothers.
When do we learn the value of civility
And stop practising meaningless hostility?

By applying policies of apartheid 
Or practising  racial discrimination 
Who want themselves or their clan 
To be seen above than the rest of the world 
People of this globe throw them down 

But the man instead of pulling himself up 
Bring up all in the line of equality 
People of this globe push his stature above 
Much more than the rest of humanity 
Showing for him unprecedented  respect and love....

Where has all the magic gone?
Someone waved a wand.
It vanished into thin air.
Cos' that's where it belongs.
The wand has lost its powers,
It stands out a mile
It's hovering above us
Until we all find our smiles
A smile makes a difference
To everybody's day
A miserable countenance
Blows magic things away
It is hovering above us
Practising its magic
If we do not believe in it
That is tragic...

Questions decided to stop asking
only offer opinion
Ideas now chase themselves
Dreams have retired
and now doze in chairing rocks

so lazy that i missed out the last line
Time spends sometime some times
Inspire is dehydrated
Practising the mistakes
i am uncompleted by the verse
of one
Provocate myself
Listless on my list
Wish to make new words
or am i just being
apsurp
What if i am asking the answers...

Do's and don'ts,one corner
Good and bad, the other 
Yes or no,in the middle,
Choice,a sructure of life
Right or wrong,the choice,
Good or bad,the choice
Right in trouble waters
Letting wrong to sail
Adam,the pioneer of wrong,
Practising in Paradise
In right or wrong
I am always right
I walk along the road
The motor in cross
I drive up a distance
The walker crossing
My pointer finger showing the wrong doer
When my four fingers pointing me!...

Current times are tense and unpredictable
      The actions of the rulers are untorgivable
      The world has always seen injusilce
      Think not it, only as a current practice
      Religions, philosophers and poetic angels
      Pictured the world in different angles
      The earth doesn't weep, but patiently encounter
      The harshness, of extreme drought and Winter
      By cultivating inner peace and universal kindness
      We can stay grounded with practising mindfulness...
