Knowledge
To know is to show to others
That you know.
Knowledge is primarily
An ego gratification.

Tearless deaths
You are a burden
To your children
When you are too old.
Pray to depart
With their tears.

The Cuddling
Cuddling is in demand
Between paramours
And between lovers
And ceases with sex licensed.

The easiest
The easiest thing is to fall in love.
The hardest thing is to get it requited.

First=nights are sweet.
Hunger was acute.
Fruit was fresh; no other fruits.
The first-night was sweet.

What, not Which
Rational mind defines
What is beauty.
Irrational mind finds
Which is a beauty.

Lies Are Salt
All writings have lies.
All scriptures have lies.
So do histories.
Lies are salt to food.

To enjoy the game…
With both teams not yours,
You chose one of them as yours
And enjoy the game.

Variety Matters
A new face replaces
The one in focus
Before it fades out.
Variety matters.

Focus
Any person in focus
Gains acceptance
And once out of focus
He goes to oblivion.
