Generosity & Poverty

No one has ever been
Impoverished by generosity;
The more one gives
The more one receives
And the wealthier one feels.

Nations & Aging

Nations possess human anatomy
But instead of bodily organs
They have institutions
And instead of brains
They have governments.

Aging affects nations
Like it affects humans
Their organs begin to fail
Their brains become feeble
They become fat and disabled
Then they succumb to dementia.

Oppression & Injustice

There is no just oppression or oppressor
The mere need for oppression
Is certain proof of injustice.

Writers & Audiences

A writer writes from within
Writes about the truths within his soul;
But, when instead, he writes for audiences
He taints his truths in order to please.

The Best & The Best

To be the best is ephemeral
Some one always out-bests the best
But to be the best one can be
Could never be bested.

Beauty & Marriage

Nothing can destroy
A beautiful human being
Like a bad marriage.

Readiness & Adversity

If we plan for adversity
If we prepare for injustice
If we get ready for being hurt
Life would not catch us by surprise.
