Kindness has this remarkable attribute as if made of indelible dye

Kindness creates a ripple effect touching everyone by and by

It picks up fragments of broken hearts mending it into one whole

It leaves behind an impression like a permanent marker on the soul

 

Kindness has this amazing offer one kind deed begets tenfold

Kindness permeates personality keeping the morning star on hold

A little care so often erases underlying and unwitting tension

It infuses value in every relation it is a recipe for human connection

 

Kindness has a caveat your acts may be misjudged misinterpreted

Kindness requires patience and courage don’t expect to be feted

If ever you face a moral dilemma in your conscience ensues a fight

Between ‘right’ and ‘kind’ choose kind and you will always be right

 

Kindness has one condition it must discreetly dispel bleakness

Kindness is loaning your strength not reminding someone of their weakness

We don’t have to agree on anything to be kind to one another

It begins with understanding that we all struggle and suffer

Care

If we could teach ourselves and our children what it is to be human

If we could see beyond the differences how much we have in common

If we could make compassion a compulsory subject in each institution

Then care would be cultivated freely it would not be mere obligation

 

If we could start a Mexican wave of kindness on earth and make history

If we could repeat that history imagine the undulation and the chemistry

If we could let the heart make decisions and the soul nourish the mind tree

Then care would not come at such a cost kindness would be free

 

If we could continue the barter system and exchange our wants and needs

If we could give selflessness and support in return of all the good deeds

If we could repay affection with respect and appreciate the hand that feeds

Then care would replace every circumstance where heartlessness leads

 

If we could comprehend how much we gain by giving and forgiving

If we could understand how giving and not amassing is the key to living

If we could count our blessings each conscious moment instead of grieving

Then care would nurture our spirit with gratitude and our minds into believing

Goodness never fails

The air is filled with confusions little stuffs are often offensive

Each one of us is on the edge of reason slightly defensive

In the midst of this chaos goodness of heart will always win

Goodness of heart permeates the mind keeping out the din

 

Goodness forewords confidence in self honesty in intention

Goodness gives us courage to face unsuspected tension

In the midst of hopelessness goodness of heart lends hope

Goodness of heart chooses faith over fear helping us cope

 

When the heart is without prejudice and fairness prevails

When the mind is without bias and iniquitous influences fail

In the midst of intimidations goodness of heart acts as shield

Goodness of heart can brave the knocks and help you to heal

 

Let the outside world tint appearances you remain true

Let the outside world put up a façade you remain you

In the midst of double-edged patterns goodness of heart illumes

Goodness of heart often reveal how people alter their tunes

 

In the end what matters most is how well you have lived

Your reputation is the wealth left behind from what is sieved

In the midst of the brouhaha goodness of heart will be cherished

Goodness of heart lives forever long after we have perished

keep it simple

Keep the heart kind and the mind fierce

Keep the disposition brave for better or for worse

In a transient ambience don’t seek permanence

Keep the gratitude eternal and the attitude intense

Keep expectations negligible and you will realize

Heartbreaks hurt less when you are not surprised

Keep the curiosity child-like and the innocence

Keep the intent pure and stick to your essence

In a double-bladed setting don’t aspire armistice

Keep the prejudices at bay and root for justice

Keep honesty at the core of actions and you will feel

Life may or may not be fair you still got the best deal

Keep the picture clear and companionship clean

Keep your soul guarded and know when to wean

In an ephemeral realm don’t desire perpetual

Keep the activities channeled and spirit eventual

Keep looking for answers to the quest of every prophet

A single answer found can only add to your profit

Twilight Zones

A few white lies if they are infused in my truths

Will they make my moods and personality uncouth?

Masked in civilities if I pass off unscrupulousness

Will peoples turn a blind eye to the casual callousness?

 

There are honesties to live by and deceits to sort

Long story short. If I choose right then wrong I must abort

 

A few oversights if they further my self-interest

Will it be fine to transgress the lines even if in jest?

Veiled in wealth and stealth if I flex my muscles

Will it rule in my favor if I have and win the tussle?

 

There are no grey zones there are no thin lines

Integrity is clear cut any which way one defines

 

A few issues discounted and brushed under my carpet

Will I dictate terms of endearment or will I remain puppet?

All sins are equal and some are more equal than others

Do I compare with the arrogance and iniquities of anothers?

 

There is no escape from defrayal of your registers and records

One life. One death. Deeds and misdeeds. Go calculate the odds

 

 

Learning lessons

 

Words are noise if they don’t have meaning

Attitudes are blocks if they don’t have understanding

Actions are hollow if they don’t have compassion

Breath is without purpose if it does not have passion

 

Tune in to your self and then fine tune the sharpness

Slowly pick up faraway signals and learn to harness

Listen with the heart and see with the soul

Fragments of emotions need to mend as a whole

 

Keep ears to the ground where feet tread softly

Keep hand on the heart and prejudge people gently

Brave fronts contradict the deep gashes concealed

Long conversations into the night reveal veneers peeled

 

Don’t keep tripping over your ego it can hurt

Keep sullenness at bay and annoyances curt

Let genuineness seep so deep into your psyche

Let prudence be your pilot to rear the Mindtree

 

A place where moods don’t swing wildly and affect

A peace where judgments don’t instill fear and impact

I am learning how to create a world full of justices

I am integrating all the seasons colors and solstices

 

 

 

Charm

If the world is full of suffering

It is also full of overcoming it

Not all storms come to disrupt life

Some clear the path and make it fit

Into your maze when time is right

The end of the tunnel is always lit

 

If the world is full of negativity

It is also full of inspirations

Comebacks are stronger than setbacks

At the cost of your perspirations

You owe yourself a better life

Follow your dreams and aspirations

 

If the world is full of consequences

It is also full of choices to nurture

Life like nature has course and sequence

Practice hard on your signature

Do not give your past the power

To define and tame your future

 

If the world is full of injustices

It is also full of kindheartedness

Just look beyond your judgement of others

The world rotates on the largesse

Of a few who know kindness has no cost

Yet has immense value – an idea suffused in finesse

 

If the world is full of wrong intentions

It is also full of renaissances

We have brushed off the dust to get up again

We are a race with resiliencies

The impostors may look like winning the loot

Help is just a prayer away goodness is at imminences

Thankyou

 

Be careful

Be careful who you trust salt and sugar look the same

Even shadows leave you in the dark with nobody to blame

An entanglement of relationships needs spacing and sorting

Toxic connections and unpleasant memories need aborting

 

Be careful whom you venerate the devil was once an angel

With Lucifer as confidante a simple route can go by hell

Honesty is easily one of the most difficult to follow of virtues

Karma is mandatory for being. Remember to pay your dues

 

Be careful what you say words are personification

Of your attitude and ideas character and contemplation

What you do speaks so loudly it obscures what you say

If your actions do not match your words what will your words weigh

 

Be careful when you appraise for appraisals must be just

Don’t doubt someone at their best. Don’t judge someone at their worst

A sea of people hovering on their bubble endeavor to keep afloat

Fortune family friends prestige prayers – we all need some float

 

Be careful what you do with time it has tendency to fly

Its free yet priceless yours to use yet not to own or buy

Good times are precious like a present-day tryst with memories

Bad times are occasions a good learner would not miss

 

Be careful where you tread your path is strewn with weeds

Each uninvited impediment is counteracted with good deeds

The good you leave behind and go will transform into goodwill

Goodwill will be the legacy your children will cherish in your will

 

 

There is always justice

After long wintry seasons there comes the summer solstice

Balancing the warm and the cold the feeling is sheer bliss

The wait is so tedious you begin to believe something is amiss

But after all that you have gone through there is always justice

 

Some hurts make deep cuts inside the heart and nerves rattle

Some inequalities make you think you are fighting a losing battle

The pains and the injuries will take a while to heal and settle

But after all that you have gone through you realize your true mettle

 

Peoples and societies have their own agendas to fulfil

It’s not so easy to meet their standards and fit the bill

Herd mentalities shirk discernment and a strong will

But after all that you have gone through you have had your fill

 

Being alone is not a weakness you must always remember

Being yourself is not softness keep it simmering the ember

Your defending of scruples stridently is taken as unyielding temper

But after all that you have gone through you don’t let anyone tamper

 

Justice never fails as long as intentions are uncorrupted and pure

Hurts never heal if you cannot craft your own cure

Own your principles and faith don’t let the demons take over

Because after all that you have gone through there is deliverance for sure

 

Thankyou

Go soft

when you can raise your voice and make so much sound

when you can show off your power and throw your weight around

that is the time when you must step back and evaluate ability

that is the moment when you must go soft and seek humility

 

when you have health wealth and success at your fingertips

when hangers-on obey each command that leave your lips

that is the time when you must realize this will not last forever

that is the moment when you must go soft and savor

 

when you feel your preeminence detaches you from the rest

when you begin to fancy only you are the best

that is the time when you must let self-worth trounce ego

that is the moment when you must go soft and let go

 

when you are being celebrated by so many around you

when your aficionados and followers forever surround you

that is the time when you take stock of genuine perspective

that is the moment when you must go soft and reflective

 

when you are keeping up late into the silence of the night

when your demons you have rested and are in no mood for a fight

that is the time when a hundred home truths will be driven

that is the moment when you must go soft and ask to be forgiven
