Zindagi ne, is kaddar, kiya hai, bas vaar Bina koi, churee, ya koi, talwaar Ghaayal; dil ye hua, baar, baar Zindagi ne, di, chotain hazaar Gaye thay, hum, is tarah se, bikhar jooda na, paye thay phirse ye jigar khaamoshi se, milta tha, bas, karaar tanhayeeon se , karte thay, iqraar Jhanke, hum jab, dil ke, jo andar Sach nikala, gehrayion se, baahar Shikayat hai, ab na, koi takraar karne lage hai, hum, khudse jo pyaar! Translation in English Self Love Life has waged on me many a war Without even a sword or a dagger so far The heart was wounded time and again Life hurt and caused me so much pain My life was but thrown helter skelter I could not piece my heart together Silence was but my solace Solitude was my only grace When I dug deep within me The truth I could clearly see I have no grievances or complaints now Having realized the importance of self-love

Hindi poem with English translation.
I like immigrants, immigration. Legal immigration, Jane passionately corrects. Actually my goal is a borderless world. Gathering the neighborhood like family. The men discuss sterilizing welfare mothers. I say You're working       around the edges, humanity has exceeded the carrying capacity of the planet, even those with jobs. And spouses. And houses. Yet it's an idyll of an early summer evening, new cut grass, two baseball teams of children playing in it. Safe from Pakistan. News photos of Muslim refugees, women in blue robes, biblically carrying children away from holocaust. The fundamentalist army not far behind, beheading sinners, sure in its righteousness as the Holy Roman Empire. Somehow Joel Osteen the evangelist comes up while talking about how the Catholic Church is irrelevant in North       America, even Latin America and Africa are going evangelical. Izzi likes Osteen, awesome extemporaneous speaker, no teleprompter, up from bootstraps message. My wife says he's probably Jewish. Fortunately no one claims the Holocaust never happened or slavery       was voluntary. What is the carrying capacity of the planet? In China is it each couple or each adult that gets one offspring? As life expectancy and standards rise, family size diminishes. We draw together into greener, tighter cities. The children of three monotheistic religions, atheists and agnostics play in city streets, work farm fields, explore forests, deserts,       grasslands, space. Two ancient female poets: Enheduanna and Sappho are a revelation. The clarity of their complaints: lost lover, lost city.

It's stuck in my head, Until it's gone, When I can make endless complaints Endless back stabs to match. But till its gone, it is there. After it's been there and gone, It is there again. Every night of everyday And also in random hours of my days. I see the old, then I see the new. It seems my world has turned black and blue. My heart beats faster And my eyes: they cry. I feel I am mourning a loss; Of someone never born to be able to die. It's the cases like this That are always the worst. You think you've found someone, When they're not there at all. So many good times Have all gone down the drain, Because everyone's a faker. Don't you know I hate liars? You liar, you deceitful and manipulative **** You ***** I hate you, I hate you, And then I hate you even more. What you have done made me fall to the floor. I don't know how I can get through this, Because last time I could just hate, Which still I am doing. You make that more difficult. Because when all the memories Come back again, I don't want to believe that was you, Surely it can't be true? But I know too well To be fooled more than once, Not that there's a way you would make it twice, Because you hate me too. It's all because of you. And her And the other. All "best friends" do Is end up having to stab each other. You see I am missing, Someone nonexistent. I knew it was too good to be true, But that won't stop me bleeding. I wish the 'you' I was friends with Was actually real. Instead I just feel messed over, All over again. I don't want to picture, Not anymore, Of what's flashing through my head. The so many too good times. They've been damaged again. I trusted you As I trusted them all, Because you have to trust to do anything at all. Again and again trusting proved to be devastating, Because there is no one who actually Has your back. So no I don't want to picture, I don't want another picture game. When I'm talking about you in rants, The devil is your name. When I'm speaking I do not have to be sad, It's only the times that I get to think on my own, When I feel even more torn down. When I see you walking around, I wish you were not. Do you know not what exactly you all have caused? I can hear you all talking, Just like we all used to do, Then the thousands of memories Come flooding in once again. And until I convince myself to dry up my emotions, I watch the dry river banks Become diluted without letting the rain fall. Because my tears; You never deserved them at all. I don't want to picture what you may think of me. If you hate me then go on, You can resent me as much as you can. But maybe you'd like to know: I stood up for you. Even though it was proved to be true. I didn't believe it at first, Because it was you. How dare you! If you think I didn't know reasons to take sides, Didn't you think I would defend you as I did her? Well I God **** tried! And if roles were reversed then I would've taken yours, As it wasn't out of favouritism as it stood, But because you were so unbelievable That nothing could be done. No friendship was saved. Being civilised? Well I just try to ignore your name.

I Don't Want To Picture

Dear Unity,  be proud of the work you've done. Working day and night, leaving complaints to none. With your calm blue aura, full of peace. People from sadness and separation, you release. Dear Unity, extending the branches of your unifying tree, Watching over like a flock of birds flying free. Amalgamate the opposing forces of destruction and war, Spare them from the unnecessary deaths and gore. Dear Unity, reunite us with our long lost friends, So there will be happiness and laughter as broken hearts mend. Clear the miserable loneliness haunting around, And stop at no cost until the cure is found. Dear Unity, oh unity, our guardian angel in disguise, Getting rid of the hatred, betrayal and the emotion; despise. Dear Unity, you are all for one and one for all, Thank you for being there every time we fall.

The landlord rented his space. The landlord became suspicious. He received complaints from other tenants, Within a couple of weeks about loud music And laughter coming from her room. Banned from having friends in their home, People would arrive in a van nightly during the summer. The details of which emerged in the trial of insurance businessman, Who was accused of helping her, Without their knowledge. She accused the abuse after a plea. His mercy, Her punishment. ‘The past is still very much a reality’ she whimpered. Forced to watch for five months, The wolf spoke as she faced the hearing Without a translator. They are forbidden to speak. For her first 23 years, she was tortured. Anti-social behaviour is having more than two people in his head, Playing music so loud, That it can be heard, Outside of him. The only person to feel the same resigned. The landlord asked the hound to verify the affair. He handed two leather-bound volumes containing a map of the marks. It was on that day, The landlord took the decision to leave seriously. Once known, He made the claim and gave no hint as to the tenant’s identity. Up for a chance to win, We wish you safe travels.

8. Render Loyalty
My dad says that my generation lacks common sense, but millennials are well on our way to being the most educated generation ever. We're demonized for idolizing Beyonce' and Nicki Minaj, but wasn't the generation before us obsessed with a heroin-addicted cynic who did nothing to improve the world? The number of people with eating disorders, depression, and anxiety are higher than they've ever been. But lord forbid we take a ******* selfie and love ourselves for that brief moment. My generation may not be perfect, but old people's complaints about us are getting really old. After all, they're the ones that ****** everything up for us in the first place.

What a city I murmur to myself looking at its map. We approached the city known as Dis, with its vast army and its burdened citizens. At last we reached the moats dug deep around the dismal city. What destroys the poetry of a city? Automobiles destroy it, and they destroy more than the poetry. Dante and Virgil chased by 7 or 8 dangerous devils Grumpy, Happy, Sneezy, Sleepy, ***** . . . Our heroes reduced from metaphysical philosophers interested in god and what man has done to man to improvising primitive tools for survival. Hope abandoned, we rate our chances of expiring in the nuclear fire – excellent – during the decline of western civilization. On the other hand, I hope our current problems are only temporary and it’s just a matter of time before the public ignores the 24-hour news cycle. Bad news sells but the good life’s all around us. One feels love and devotion even for the 60 million who voted for our opponent. Vaclav Havel said with a wisdom well beyond brilliance: “Either we have hope within us or we don’t. It is a dimension of the soul, and it’s not dependent on some particular observation of the world or estimate of the situation. It is an orientation of the spirit, an orientation of the heart that transcends the world as it’s immediately experienced. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense no matter how it turns out.” It resembles grief. But it's not quite grief. I'll give you grief. Certain days planned to be eventful I look forward to for weeks. Let the peaceful transfer of power proceed. The sorrow and the pity. Never may the anarchic man find rest at my hearth. When the laws are kept, how proudly the city stands! When the laws are broken, what of the city then? We are moving through some allegory between a City of Hope, where history has been abolished, and a City of History, where hope can be slipped in only as contraband. Failing to achieve understanding, we're searching outer space for an entity to unite us as humanity. That person, or city, is consciousness. Two ancient female poets are a revelation, the clarity of their complaints: lost lover, lost city. Our enemy eventually becomes our brother, his misery lifted by coming to her city.

You kept complaining 'bout those people corrupting then afterwards you'll be saying Money can't be brought alongside with you on the day that you die. Why are they being so corrupt? Yet why aren't you trying to question thyself? When in fact, you aren't any different. Save, Save, Save That's all you think about Prices, Prices, Prices I thought we were here to survive? Money is an element for survival. Why are you keeping every single dollar? You always count your money as if it is your baby. Complaints are all that I hear each day every time you pay.

I have been going to the track for so long that all the employees know me, and now with winter here it's dark before the last race. as I walk to the parking lot the valet recognizes my slouching gait and before I reach him my car is waiting for me, lights on, engine warm. the other patrons (still waiting) ask, "who the hell is that guy?" I slip the valet a tip, the size depending upon the luck of the day (and my luck has been amazingly good lately) and I then am in the machine and out on the street as the horses break from the gate. I drive east down Century Blvd. turning on the radio to get the result of that last race. at first the announcer is concerned only with bad weather and poor freeway conditions. we are old friends: I have listened to his voice for decades but, of course, the time will finally come when neither one of us will need to clip our toenails or heed the complaints of our women any longer. meanwhile, there is a certain rhythm to the essentials that now need attending to. I light my cigarette check the dashboard adjust the seat and weave between a Volks and a Fiat. as flecks of rain spatter the windshield I decide not to die just yet: this good life just smells too sweet.

Some win awards. Some win recognition. Then some barely recognized for their effort and time. Some hardly ever late. Some dedicated more than many bosses. Who take it upon themselves to take multiple vacation? The good employee that others measure themselves by. Rain,sleet or show , you're most likely see them at work. Some takes pride just in working to accomplish an agenda. They probably wouldn't strike even, if in a union. Some has came in present time to regret being a members. When they don't see any accomplishable gains from their leaders. Good employees, don't fake an excuse to miss work. Good employees, know all jobs depends upon a team. A mission is set to be met. Those that mainly complains has minor points. Which soon becomes a distraction in the level of work. Oh, good employees has complaints too. In reality, we all do to some degree. Except, good employees all companies need. They make the weakest link becomes a member of a strong team.

The Good Employee
My couch, Is death, And avoidance is a second language, Ask me do I speak it? Conjoined twins, Of misery and manipulation, No calls, Only cushions and customer's custom complaints, From tomorrow, The phone wont ring, So I'll stay down this road, Listening to headlines and headlights Sing, Moody music dwelling, Where the lies and shame met in between, Cut the cue, end the scene The stage has been rebuilt, We talked like teenagers, And you told me that I've changed, But the same, Still that same number, No more gap, But your smile still kills, Pain with palendromes, We were here before, And so again we, Our fighting saying goodnight, Street lamps in different cities, Static. I'm just fine, Playing my part, My mainstream maybe different, But Obsession has been overcame, By the rising tide of a smile, If the teleprompting signs shine through, Meanwhiles and meditations What can I do, Except hope I'm reading, The Right Script, The couch, It asks, Where have you been? I set down another, chip.

Then and Now: A Mishmash of Feelings and You Knows & Who Knows
Religion is Recruiting for Customer Complaints. Where is my God, the disciples and all the absent saints? The time I have invested sitting in your church. This wasn't in your advert you've left me in the lurch. I'm asking for a refund, you've years to reimburse and then there is the funeral, the flowers and the hearse. I've sat on your pew, spent time praying to you and now that I'm dead, I'm unsure what to do. I should have known better, you never replied. Yet I kept the faith until the day that I died. Now I queue to complain, I must be fuckin' insane! because, well, you don't even exist! Poetry by Kaydee.

A Noun: The oblong: a thing: The name of that lounge : a place By the face of the strange shaped lake... Dinosaur Egg / oval / green grapes. An Adj.: Oblong Longboard That’s such the coolest name A person: Not a thing oval shaped . Mr. Ellipsis made no complaints About tiny alien ant farms “From Outer Space!” The natives made to slave. *Oblong grew his beard out After the sideburns days Mr. Ellipsis far far away* Fires of the Sun Will not discern—when The Light returns The wyrm will burn . In oblong throes of defeat. At peace : A Verb.

This might not be a poem: more so a realization at most. The complaints I have throughout the day are anything but morose. Walk an hour in another man's shoes, and suddenly life has so much more I could lose. Where could I be in that first step? I could be standing in the flip flops of a beautiful friend , taking care of four children as a new widow. I could be in sneakers as the man  selling newspapers in the desert heat day after day. I could be in a different shoe every day, as a comedian loved by all, who could make everyone laugh, but himself. I could be in heels in a doctors office, facing the reality of only a few months left. But I'm not. My shoes are worn, but my heart is not. My days might be long, but my bed is warm. The jobs I work help keep our bills paid and our food plentiful. I was going to complain today: but when I realized how beautiful today was, I had nothing to say. Where could you be, in that first step?

A Realization of Another Man's Shoes
All present in the stream of time, Connected they build a line, a river which flows uninterruptedly, The here and now, is the future of a pasts dream, a wonderous reality, It is the futures past, the memories recorded within the depths of it Gravity distorts time, causing it to slow down till it's stopping point lensed from a black hole, lurking within shadows of remorse in space, Fished out from the sea of passing events, it keeps flowing, but now it does so while not including the fallen one who embraced a blackhole, Time only knows one path, straight ahead with no slips and turns, The present is the pasts future and what was thought to be possible, It is the little wealth every living being possesses yet it is overseen and forgotten, until the moment of ones death drives gladly near, From the womb to the tomb, drowning within the waves of a temporal lengh, the event of an entity's existence and its period. A pace for an allotment, given from the complaints of an worldly life, Spend it well, unlike the spring we cannot turn the tide, recycle again! But for that matter the world of dreams holds a sweet embrace to all, After all, you don't need to die in a dream. ~ Umi

You see your friends told me that you had complaints. But I can't tell since you are always in my face. If you can't be a man you know what you can do. Pack your bags and leave the cash because baby we are through. There's no doubt that I've had it up to here. There is no doubt there will be no more crying no more tears. There is no doubt about the way I made you feel. ******* you know that my love was real. I am sick and tiered of you running your lines. Get up out of my face because you are wasting your time. I won't hold your hand the way your mama use to. I have no time to sit and deal with this drama. Since you can't be a man you can stay with your mama. You know what? I've had it up to here. No more crying no more tears. It's all about the way that I made you feel. Because you know that I am the real.

*Being unemployed is like…. Being stuck in a hole in the ground with a broken leg and no cell phone, while surrounded all on sides by people who ignore your very existence, or treat you as if you are less than…. well…anything. Their silhouettes casting quickly passing shadows on the concrete around you. No one offering you a hand. Each time you reach out for help you are rejected coolly and professionally. No one wants a failure, but they also don’t want the responsibility of helping to create a success. The ones who do reach out for you, don’t really care about your success or well-being. They see a quick buck, easy to replace or move past, should you realize you are worth more than their verbal abuse and manipulation. No one wants a self-valuing person either. They don’t even want a human, with thoughts emotions and memories. All hiring businesses want, is a robot to do their every bidding with no complaints, no questions asked, even if that person’s health or sanity is on the line. Or even their life. In a world created by ourselves, we are unimportant.*

"You are twisted and your tongue permanently tastes of cherries." - you say, but I just tie cherry knots with my fruit-infused tongue, and laugh at your complaints. Red neon numbers remind me of your lips on mine. Gripping at the empty side of the bed, wishing I were somehow still in your head. You and I were similiar and collided in coexisting lives. I can see a jaw drop the hand moving south as if to slip into the knife drawer of a total solar eclipse. Six shots deep so I could forget your name, and all of the reason I love you. Instead I sat there with him, (not you) crying over cherry stems.

Life is all around you Live each day like your last Don't sit there on the sidelines Life goes by so fast Listen to the music Sing songs that you don't know Don't sit there all in silence Turn up the radio Life's a dance, get on the floor Life's a dance, Life's a dance, get on the floor Life's a dance Don't matter who you came with Dance with who is near Wave one hand high above you With the other, hold a beer Live each day so loudly so loud that nothing drowns you out Make up words while singing And dance, and scream and shout Life's a dance, get on the floor Life's a dance, Life's a dance, get on the floor Life's a dance Come on and get dancing Feel the rhythm of the saints Just feel and then go do it And ignore all noise complaints Sitting doing nothing Living, silent in a trance Get up, and start to party Come on...welcome to the dance Life's a dance, get on the floor Life's a dance, Life's a dance, get on the floor Life's a dance

I live beyond morality, cloudy Skies issue complaints, however I hardly have the time. I often catch myself Staring at creatures. Wondering where they Wander, and why. I want to fight dragons today. I want to find a voice That suits me. Grey skies And frozen cranes, bother me. The stone wet, and Broken. Lifeless creatures Can be neither evil nor Wealthy. Broken Binaries. Broken Machines. What glues Our heads to our Bodies? Is there a separation? Voices Walk down the hall and Interrupt my view Through the window. Focusing again I see Opaque. Unable to Look past the glass. Only up to it.

Upon the Realization of my own Sociopathic Tendencies
To some it’s all conjectural, Philosophically conceptual. You think you’re intellectual But your reasoning is ineffectual. Reviled both by heterosexuals Insulted as well by homosexuals And some ugly issues contractual We are the besmirched bisexuals. While it is the opposite of equality It is the essence of our reality, A warped straight-centric morality Based on a Christianist plurality. The straights tell us we must decide Then put the other gender aside. The complaints range far and wide Even gay people opt to deride. We don’t feel welcomed anywhere inside. Why doesn’t tolerance coincide When nobody seems to take our side? It’s freedom, get on the bus and ride. While it is the opposite of equality It is the essence of our reality, A warped straight-centric morality Based on a Christianist plurality. We know, after years of research Gender choice is not learned in church. It can be shaped with rods of birch But those are better for birds to perch. Denying us freedom is an ugly lurch Past including truth in a morality search. Back to when we were ruled by a church And any variance was besmirched. While it is the opposite of equality It is the essence of our reality, A warped straight-centric morality Based on a Christianist plurality.
