Worth Than Words

Tell some readers to clip their papers
on the same book
they need to sell their soul
or soulless life under the same solitudes
about hope and prejudice
in humanism.

Keep much hatreds in the same pillows of sadness
Being ripe without taste
I had lost the faith in many
due respect
I ought to defuse angels over evilly man
liars above sun.

Give me the thread of truth
Amusing lifeless lies
Live and greedy lusty desires
In this home
I that road
wrong paths were taken to the fact

A True Story of A True Pet.... My Grandmother's Pet

Pets are always very precious!
They feel and understand our feelings and sorrows!
My maternal grandma an humanist
She tame many pets like cats, pigeons etc
It is her hobby and fun!
She gives foods to her pets regularly and sufficiently
She feeds the pigeons and cats
She love her cat a lot!
She gives milk, meat, fish, bones, rice as his foods
Her pets love her a lot!
She takes care of them very lovingly
But those days were very strange and sad!
My grandpa had died that day!
After his death, that cat not used to eat anything and survive without food
He was behaving very strangely
Even that cat could understand feelings of grandma about her husband That cat was sad to see grandma in pain and couldn't tolerate the pain of the mournful death
At last, the cat had died because of not taking foods
Grandma found it under the bed
Grandma says that was her favorite pet!

Selfishness Invested

A fear of losing capitalistic views abused.
By those who depleted,
The economy with their greed.

And shouts of spreading the wealth,
Will take away from the healthy giving...
Of those who are rich!

Those with humanistic values.
Those who created jobs for others.
Those who are concerned...
About the infrastructure!

And of the well being of their fellowmen.
Sisters and brothers.

Those...
Who depleted,
The economy with their greed!
Those...

January 26,2011until.......

And I'm thinking of wars. Although, one, understands nothing. So I share what I know. A country called Syria that calls for democracy. Living subtracted from their civil rights for almost 40 years. Passed from father to son the power. And an entire population, a generation of dumb slaves, humiliated, without rights, calls now for free!
Who can help? Who can stop the worst of wars, which is a civilian? destroying over each other until nothing remains. Until someone asks... What's left? Where do we go?

Then comes the application of human rights, the famous Geneva Convention. But it seems that war is deaf to such international appeals. Doctors Without Borders, Red Cross, working almost alone, in another war, to save lives. Are attacked, can not be fixed, the conflict is also nomadic.
And in this way, the innocent perish. The sons of war, babies, mothers and fathers of war. The blood of an entire people poured out of greed and veneration of power.

Emerge also international interests. Some help others destroy, and more guns and fewer supplies. And fewer hospitals and fewer professionals. Finally, fewer lives.

How many chances throw away, how many dead Gênius, how many silent poets, writers, teachers, humanists.

The world loses again.

Global Poetry

Poetry from around the globe
From every corner of the world from every nations
On every human emotions, original and
Universal, no distinctions on races and religions,
Colour of skins, hairs and eyes, sex or tribes, poets
Heart out writes, apprehensions and experiences
Moulded in their souls and minds to strengthen
Friendship, love, fraternity and brotherhood relinquishing
Separation and hate and dig down deep to fathom out
Quality and merit, upholding high the flag of beauty and truth
Cultivating to enrich always humanism of the whole humanity.

Never Less Than More

Yes I am all wrong
If I am all right
I must be the Him
But
Dear me
Weak creature of HIS
Read and crave the intuition.
Learn is seeking
More than right or wrong
Humanity need more than fixed culture
Necessity changes and so do us
Kindness
Never less, change done nothing
Endearment of endurance
Facing death playing wild
Surviving own entrapment might be not
Stalked by bleeding care, I’m almost gone
Animosity of the beast was too near
Double-bladed words play evils
But dear me….

Awareness

A fragile pistillum sways to conceal
the sperms in pestle. Unilaterally fired salvos
were increasing. After the dig, bodies in the
debris were popping up daily. There
was no truce for brothers in arms. Struggling
to hold on the humanism, anger was rising
from the white paper.

A sense of lost is weaponized. There is
a mix of solemnity and hurt. Pacemaker was becoming
a slave, will not respect cadence. Obscurity
must take refuge. The golden lined clouds
were enduring the sun.A howitzer fires at moon.
It was time to find the anchor, shoving aside
the mortgage of life.

Orders are orders

Orders are after all orders
As there is no room for wonderers
The land may be sacred for her
To claim as ancestral or land of mother

What do the solders know?
They have orders to throw
Any intruders if enters illegally
Just to face the trigger brutally

Soldiers will have to obey commander
As he is authorized to issue an order
He may be soldier first then human
Must keep no corner for man or woman

"Shoot the target" means shoot instantly
The orders may be fast and not spoken gently
It has forbearance of nationalism
Where everything is secondary including humanism

Contradictions!

World people believe in religion;
But terrorists rely on extremism!

World religion preaches love and peace;
But terrorism goes on hate and violence!

Poverty, unemployment drive to extremism;
But hate and violence drive world terrorism!

People love music, painting and dance;
But terrorists do mine and bomb blasts!

Artists have taste for beauty and love;
But terrorists cover by beard and parka!

Ascent of religion refines by mysticism;
But descent of religion leads to terrorism!

Fundamentalist education trains in terrorism;
But education and job only develops humanism!

My Poor King In His Shanties Who Applies For A Coffin Maker?

No need a scaffolding, a studio
for my new painting and a paint brush
paint or a big canvas?
I use my thumb for shading,
on a throw away news paper
with few pastels that belongs to my grandson
I draw my new king with a big moustache
and a dead fly on his chin as a birth mark?
A cigarette butt fitted to his mouth
tittled as 'My poor King in his shanties
who applies for a coffin maker? '
He reads of Picasso, George Braque
Modiglianni & Van Gogh?
I was not influenced by Cubism or Surrealism
Capitalism or Socialism
But only Humanism with a mug of cheap Milwaukee bitter Beer?

That Time Approaches Near

What would you do...
If suddenly you discovered,
God was pure energy,
A light force within you?
And 'beings' of higher energies
Are very soon to appear.
From centuries out of our reach!
Ahead of us,
By thousands of years!

What would you do...
If you knew to 'them',
You were barbaric?
The lowest of all humanistic creations.
And they are observing our trivial deeds,
With displeasure they've come to stop!
To set the universe at ease!

What would you do...
When you find you've been fooled.

Two Systems

For the permanent settlement
of exploitation oh, my dear,
they made caste system in
the name of religion, inhuman,
notorious esotericism, one is born
from the mouth and other is from
the legs, a blot on humanism, class
system is not less scum of the earth,
not a thin chain, both are strong
tentacles, good enough to suck blood
the two Greek bugs fate and luck
you know you are sick, cut the chain,
spray the insecticide I know they, too,
suffer from diseases one is irrational
other is unscientific, I have for them
two doses of medicine, the first one
is love the second one is severe beating..

A Dream-Seller

I'm a dream-seller,
I sell dream every day;
You all can buy it,
But you have not to pay.

The dream of fairy isle,
The dream of shining day;
You can buy it from me,
But you haven't to pay.

I dream of great nation
Who won't have envy's eyes;
Who will cry for others,
But won't wait for it's prize.

I have a sweet sweet dream,
I want to share with all;
Fighting for religion,
Will push us to sure fall.

Humanism and individualism

Humanism and individualism are inter related
Both are weighed and truly equated
It has found precious terms with individual
It can not be termed as casual

It leaves enough of fragrance
Once developed at once
How many ills are cured?
Above and all humanity is secured

So long the human has heart, the humanity will survive
All good steps will be taken and peace will be revived
Many individuals may be celebrated for individualism
Still there will be clear victory for humanism

We are like different seasons of the nature
Some good they intend to deliver for sure
All good for our survival and future growth
It is beneficial not for single side but for both

Magnified Chrystal Balling

Boys play.
And in play...
A bravado is accepted.
And willfully on constant display.
With a show of fearlessness shown,
By the one selected and chosen to lead.

And that one accustomed to getting things done,
Has to express independence and confidence.
Sometimes at the risk of exposing a humanness.
And achieving less than those observing,
From the sidelines expect.

When doubts about direction begin to be expressed.
This upsets,
Those with victories to achieve on their breaths.
Tight lipped bravery is what arnchair warriors respect.

But emotions one dares to expose on one's sleeve,
Contradicts a magnified Chyrstal balling.

The Inaugurul atmosphere

How nice when all the doors & windows opened in the White House on this particular day?
Let the swift wind blows from all over the world and you could stand straight,
Please do not let them to take you away.
The wind gives an impression of the street children of the peculiar world and your precious children may ask questions from you.
The first Lady's innocent smile would be a comfort to the families of war victims.
This turning point should join along the World peace path
And let brothers walk as brothers towards Humanism.
Please leave a question mark to ruthless wars
And if possible make a pension scheme to the shamefaced warmongers.

Michael The Arc Angel

Hunted in the abstract painting
The lions of post modernism
Rules are gone
No eternity lingers in the background
Endless gray
Crushing freedom
The law becomes transit mores
Bought and sold
Dealt like a market
We dissipate into the state
The state becomes the globe
Numbers and calculations
Armies with spears as long as 1984
Science a commodity
Politics a new world order
Secular humanism laughed at by Nietzsche
Genetically modified food chain
Genetically modified disease soon to come
Genetically modified man is coming
Biogenesis the new via evolution

The Confessions Of An Incorrigible Person

I am a religious fanatic, because I do not respect any religion other than my own – Humanism.

I am not cosmopolitan, because I do not respect any community other than my own – Humanity.

I do not like any language other than my own – the language of unity, understanding and friendship.

I give a damn to any culture other than my own – Human Culture.

There is only one civilization I respect, the ancient civilization I am a part of – World Civilization.

I do not have time for anybody other than my own family – The World Fraternity.

Agreed, all these characteristics that I have are extremely condemnable. But sorry, I will not change. I am incorrigible.

I will protest

I will protest
With loud noise as best
Space was always fast
Only we couldn't compete and last

Only writers were serious
Not providing humor continuous
There is family type attachment here
Everything is spoken with farness and pleasant to hear

You are best among best
We fail to analyze it as test
Serve and provide to the best of your ability
We shall try to pick with limited capacity

Writers always face criticism
That is quality of humanism
We must face and answer
As it may be understood by fewer

Greatest evils

Expectations are greatest evils
They will push you towards end and make you ill
Lots of aspirations from wrong things lead to downfall
One must realize it and be prepared for any worst call

We may face rough weather
It may not provide you breather
Yet there is room for comeback
Nothing should be considered at stake

This is what we must strive and go on
Life is as such and conclusion can be drawn
We are what we are and can not change
Rest all may fallow suit if you simply manage

We must love to live with criticism
This is main aspect of humanism
Until you have reaction to happenings around
No over all change can be found
