inspiration and strength

Be yourself... Be strong enough to face the world each day. Be weak enough to know you cannot do everything. Be generous to those who need your help. Be frugal with what you need yourself. Be wise enough to know that you do not know everything. Be foolish enough to believe in miracles. Be willing to share your joys. Be willing to share the sorrows of others. Be a leader when you see a path others have missed. Be a follower when you are shrouded in the midst of uncertainty. Be the first to congratulate an opponent who succeeds. Be the last to criticize a colleague who fails. Be sure where your next step will fall, so that you will not stumble. Be sure of your final destination, in case you are going the wrong way. Be loving to those who love you. Be loving to those who do not love you, and they may change. Above all, be yourself

the five elements

Water, so pure, formless, attaining infinite forms.
Noiseless in the calm ocean and gurgling in the wild wild brook…
Poison, the menacing, chemical war
Corroding, attacking with sickness and scar…

Fire, inspiring, instilling, restoring,
Purifying everything it consumes...
Desire, the selfish demon of passion,
Destroying, terrorizing, razing to dust…

Earth, ever patient, generous and loving
Giving, forgiving, gracefully growing...
Pride, the creed of mighty warriors,
Refusing, ignoring the pleas of innocent…

Ether, expanding, the tranquil space…
To look insightfully at one’s mistakes…
Cities of tumult, no peace no calm…

Air, the sweet and revitalizing,
To clear the mind of evil thoughts.
Where will the distressed go for solace??
Smoke, the hazardous shadow of death,
Can anyone escape from it?

Look, we are of one kind,
Why there is pollution of mind?
Rethink of your actions in greed
They are the ultimate ruin’s seed

Arise, awake, and build a new law
Where your judgments are not a flaw
Stop the wheel of self annihilation
Reinforce the hope of millions…

Nature, the mother of all creatures,
Growing the little buds of love,
Looking fondly at the harmonious joy
Of her children toiling for their fruits

At last the labor of unity
Has brought forth a lovely haven of humanity
For the new era of progress and planning
To create and sustain till eternity…

one world

THE LEADER ARRIVES

The pen is picked up with a mighty effort
For words are inscribed for eternity
Courage is not gifted to all,
To mirror thoughts as they are…

Many a stories are told, speeches delivered,
Poems recited and myths unfurled…
But only truth remains unchanged, pure…
Alone in the heights of lies…

History speaks for itself, the bloodshed
Caused by man is due to the ignorance
Of truth that is hidden within himself
Never is too late , now in the spur of the moment,

Grasp the power within your reach
Before it is lost forever…
Every battle waged is against oneself
Before you cut he roots of love,
Pause a while to reflect…

What is gained by the violent word?
More hurtful than a mortal wound,
That kills the spirit of hope,
What good is that war?

In the ages of despair,
Sow a word of kindness…Rather than of hatred,
Lend a ray of hope to the millions who stray in darkness…
Do not inflict upon the darkest sinner,
But eradicate the cause of his sin…

Then truly the arrival of a leader,
Shall be looked upon…
That one who leads is not leader
But one who is followed by masses…
