For Your Heart and Head

Collection of Poems – For Your Heart and Head

1.Enjoy

Fruits of all pious actions

Fruits of all evil actions

In this life itself

You have to face it yourself.

Accept this knowledge, be aware;

One may do anything, go anywhere’

Lust, anger, greed and attachment, destroy devotion;

Bring under control these senses;

Miss not your destinations.

In pleasure and pain do not falter,

Keeping balance be a good server.

Forgetting all thoughts of mine and thine,

Also eschewing duality of all kinds,

Serve all equally well

Enjoy hearty joyous spell.

 

2.The road to success

The road to success is not straight

There is curve called as failure

A loop called as confusion

Speed bumps called as friends

Red lights called as enemies

Caution lights called as family

But, if you have the spare called as determination;

Insurance called as faith and

A driver called as hard work –

You will make it to a place called as success.

 

3.The Gossip Poem

My name is gossip;

I have no respect for justice

I break hearts and run lives

I am cunning, malicious and gather strength with age

The more I am quoted, the more I am believed

I flourish at every level of society.

My victims are helpless

They cannot protect themselves against me because

I have no name and no face

To track me down is impossible

The harder you try, the more elusive I become;

I am nobody’s friend

Once I tarnish a reputation, it is never the same;

I topple governments and wreck marriages

I run careers and cause sleepless nights, headaches and indigestion

I spawn suspicion and generate grief

I make innocent people cry in their pillows

Even my name hisses

I am called as GOSSIP

Office gossip

Shop gossip

Party gossip

Telephone gossip

I make headlines and headaches

Remember, when you repeat a story, ask yourself

Is it true?

Is it fair?

Is it necessary?

If not, do not repeat it.

 

4.Work

Work is man’s greatest function/gift

He is nothing

He can do nothing

He can achieve nothing

Without working

 

If you are poor – work

If you are rich – work

If your burdened by unfair responsibilities – work

If you are happy – work

If your health is threatened – work

 

When faith falters – work

When dreams are shattered – work

When hope seem dead – work

Idleness gives room for doubt

Work is the greatest remedy for all problems;

So, work, work, work and work faithfully and sincerely
