Oath to family

Family is the people who
Talks us through everything
Family are the ones who
Listens to what you have to say
Family protects you when
Others try to harm you
Family are the ones to get you through
Better or worse and ask for nothing
Some take what they have
Forgranted and when it dissappears
They wish they hadnt
I thank god everday
For my family
Family is precious and
Something no one should take
Forgranted or advantage of
Thank you father for I
Would be nothing without
My family!

Dharma

Duty-bound is manifold
To self not alone
But familial, social, national too
In dissolution greed, jealousy, wrath
Earn the self-promoted to provide
Food, clothe, shelter to self not alone
But to family, society, nation too
Delineating Dharma...
Emphatic, a doctrine of virtues
Assertive a chassis of embodied service
Selfless yet selfish for peace
Reminiscing the bygone
An exemplified Ram-Rajya
Emphatic, Dharma be

Many have left their families to defend our freedom. We salute their bravery; we express our appreciation and support to their families. And we pray for their safe return.

We're A Psycho Family

Taken from my up-coming Ramone's tribute site-

The Rot-Mones-A Horror Parody

We're a psycho family
We're a psycho family
We're a psycho family
Me, mama and daddy

We're a psycho family
We're a psycho family
We're a psycho family
Me, mama and daddy

Going out on the streets
Knocking off those ugly drag queens
'Cause we found out
They've all been eating cans of refried beans
Now we're on the covers of all the magazines
Gulpin' down razor blades and thorazines

Love My Family

Love my family
like a fatboy loves his donuts

care for my family
like a wolf caring for his cubs

nurture family
like ice cold water on a hot summer day

family as one
the only family i would ever want,
care for,
love them,
nurture them,
we complete each other

Obon

Deceased spirits
Family’s ancestors
Vital part
Family life

Family tradition
How far dispersed
To gather at
Family home

The reunion
Affectionate moments
To spend with
Living family members

To honor memory
Of family who have passed on
To spend time
To spruce up graves

Benefaction

Less of what they were yet happy
Deprived of what we long today
For luxurious golden glitter yet unhappy..?
Masticating memory in making of forefathers
In one house, one family, one home
Unified in one traditional taste
No greed, no jealous, no insufficiency
Measured desires mastered life..

Benevolent economics benefitted kinship
Stealthy infirms, invalids, widows, diseased
Never less of deference, never in negligence
In one house, one family, one home
Unified in one familial paradise..
Less of what they were yet happy
Deprived of what we long today
Set apart homes for the needy kins even

Family vs. Friends

Friends come in your life as ocean waves come and go.
You friends may be there one day and be gone the next.
Family is like blood, you need it to survive and it will always be there.
Family is there the day you are born and will be until the day you die.
Friends may be there for the short term, it is your family that will
remain by your side.
Always put your family first, friends should go second.
Family will be there to support you and catch you when you fall.
Friends may be good to talk to when you are feeling down,
but they might not be there when you need someone the most.
Family will be there to laugh and they will be there to cry.
Family will be there through the good and bad.
Family is always there.

I know that it isn't just violence against women, it's how do we support ourselves and our families, how do we deal with health care for ourselves and our families? It's a bigger picture.
