Poverty is a curse for human society
Poverty prevails there where the injustice is
Poverty exclaims there where the illiteracy is

MAN, being the servant and interpreter of Nature, can do and understand so much and so much only as he has observed in fact or in thought of the course of nature: beyond this he neither knows anything nor can do anything.

Each one of us believe in different creed
Each one of us have religious sects we belong to
Just to satisfy our souls' spiritual needs
To believe in different icon of Gods and Goddesses

Never thought I may have to leave and pack
Did not pay serious attention or looked back
When time approached, I was caught unaware
Everybody should think over it and prepare

I went to the rivers. Rivers asked me, "Do you know we're alive? "
I went to the oceans. Oceans asked me, "Do you know we're alive? "
I went to the pebbles. Pebbles asked me, "Do you know we're alive? "
I went to the rocks. Rocks asked me, "Do you know we're alive? "

What is basis for philosophy to usher?
How does it gain ground and prosper?
How other intelligent person can be influenced?
How one’s own self can be forgotten or reduced?

One word falls as another rises
to the surface of my mind,
together they create the start
of what life means to me.

Hast thou the infant seen that yet, unknowing of the love
Which warms and cradles, calmly sleeps the mother's heart above--
Wandering from arm to arm, until the call of passion wakes,
And glimmering on the conscious eye--the world in glory breaks?

that means something emotional or philosophical

Its the morbid fascination of ones mind
A certain kind of psychopathic personality
That bends, their souls, into unkind.

Death is stop gap arrangement between life and non life
It may not spare anybody including husband and wife
It is new beginning for another birth somewhere else
We think so much unnecessarily in this regard and remain tense

Accept no remorse
It is philosophical unbalance
And have some reasons

I prayed sincerely
And sang few verses happily
It was not out of curiosity
Or daily practice to almighty

To set words dancing, even if the dance

The greatest farce ever perpetrated has to be beyond a shadow of a doubt, evolution. It fits every requirement of a farce. It is a complete lie that has been buried beneath so many others it has become a pure comical tragedy within itself. There are even many other farces that have been built around it. Evolution was nothing but a hypothesis; yes a guess as to why there was a variation in the fossil record, it was never anything more than that. But its perpetrators made so much money and had so much fun with it they continued to build upon it. To think it has gone on for more than a century, and has destroyed the very morals of our society, also makes it perhaps the greatest tragedy too.
The farce is built upon so many lies for so many years it would take an eternity to destroy every one. Thus, their plan worked. One might say it was brilliantly perpetrated, but the fact it can be so easily destroyed with just common sense, allows one to believe it's not so brilliant, as its believers so gullible. It's like a shoplifter caught red handed with a pair of glasses on his face bearing the store label with today's date and no receipt of purchase, after the clerk has pointed out the fact and they continue to leave the store; or a murderer with a smoking gun in his hand, loot in the other and a dead woman's body lying a few feet away with powder burns on her chest clothed only in underwear inside her own residence; saying, 'let's keep an open mind, shall we?
