Bannon and Bats

Bannon and bats in belfry have been;
They then did it over and over again;
Not self-reliant;
Appeared defiant;
Leave us alone so we can say Amen.

The Philistines wanted the source of Samson's power
Delilah tried,nagged and then to her love,lied
In weakness,this Judge was soon to cower-
Samson' strength was never self-reliant,
The Spirit of the Lord had made him a giant

Be oblivious
stand tall
hold your pride
don't let them take that away form you
you are strong
you are powerful
they are weak
they are in pain
you are self reliant 
they depend
on other's hurt
they are themselves
with their own problems.
You are yourself,
and you are
Amazing!...

One flag on every roof
 And with troop.
Dancing in free air
In its own sphere.
On rhythm of Independence 
And self dependence.
Making earth's air more purified 
Human being self reliant.
Why everyone has tear 
Its correct time to Vanish fear.
Go with the one colour
Feel the independence in air....

Sadness scrambles to survive
and tears become termites

Self reliant moles taint speechless lips 
and form explanations yet to ripen

Tears that reject wiping 
smear pride's respiratory system
leaving heart beat unpuffed

Humility is Reality

What makes sense
is not always understood...
And weeping ensues....

She always wore sensible shoes
     A working woman, self reliant
No need for expensive heels
In fact, her shoes told her entire story
     She was sensible in every way
Do the shoes make the woman or vice versa?
She always wanted to splurge on en expensive pair
     Never could bring herself to do it
Dam, those sensible shoes!...

Fire burns
Hell wheel turns
For solution soul yearns
To the Eye the path returns

Ocean great and grand
In underlined letters is to be found
Destiny connected to itself not fire around
Up there chaos and order are not fighting each other rather each has same ground

The justice might be the key
To get to the other side of counterbalance to spawn destiny
In that self reliant destiny
One can be truly free...

I may have been a hypocrite,
But at least when it came
To my closest friends I gave a .

I may be fat,
But at least physically
I’m way tougher than that!

I may have been insecure,
But at least within
I can always reassure myself alone.

I may not be that great a scholarly writer,
But at least I choose
To never conform to standards, I’m a fighter!

I may have been always lonely,
But at least I have
Gained a sense of inner identity!...

Let’s be self-reliant much
So none can con one such
Let’s keep sharpening saw
Never mind if it’s an extra
Let’s sell brain and brawn bro
Only to the highest bidder lo..!
Dependence makes one low
Much loss never before so
Folks take one for granted
As if one is never wanted
The life becomes aimless
Slavery thus overwhelms 
Harassment and humiliation
Embarrassment, frustration
Before life lacks purpose I say
Be self-reliant come what may..!!...

If we seek to become self-reliant,
navigating earth life with breezy ease,
oh hermit, make heart with love compliant,
knowing our life’s a gift from God on lease,
securing from fears and desires, release.
We are living light, here to grow in love,
for which head and heart must act hand in glove
at all times, here and now in joy present,
as blessings divine in-pour from above,
assuring our soul’s heavenward ascent.

you inspire me.

you make me want to be 
Audacious and
Beauteous and
Creative and
Distinctive and
Equable and
Forgiving and
Gentle and
Heroic and
Interesting and
Jocular and
Kind and
Loving and
Magical and
Non-judgemental and
Open-minded and
Patient and
Quemeful and
Rebellious and
Self-reliant and
Tender and
Unique and
Valiant and
Whimsical and
Xenial and 
Youthful and 
Zealous. 

you inspire me. 
you make me want to be
nothing like you.

Oh, she had the lines
the pedigree
an aura of authenticity
shrouded in a symmetrical succulence
undulating and ululating curves
beckoning, beguiling, begging
for a glance, a whisper, a wink
deep almond eyes peering
into the souls of seekers
withering self reliant resistance
challenging the challengers
her sinewy sensuality
wafting across the moon’s blush
a figure cast in shadow
across snow dusted lust
