Gentlemen of Courage and Ladies of Excellence, Toast to stolen prayers with rarer player’s hands; Soft in defiant laughter, when drinking their wine from the bowels of brines Sing along the Ballads of Heritage with Melodies of Exception; Boast, not a breathe, though sullen heirs ghost to fairer wearer’s air(s) of land— A settlement of Rapture and Resurrection, arid, amid dirt and sand and King and thy Kingdom sprout flowering tomb, and rosebud temple reach to the sky during the showers of spring Devours the crescent Moon in big pink petals of bloom; A garden so fertile it could look pretty in wartime— with Gardeners of Courage and Laborers of Excellence; (Lapse, not into digressions of Being and Essence but hands in the soil and planting the actions of kingdom come,        patient building of Spring Reign sure as the flame, the architect of rising Sun is (Daughters and Sons of kingdom came,       the soldier in a land been conquered and named; abandoned for the greenness of hope. )May it never come, Be All The Same; ( be gentle, though whispering wind) Seeds of Nextyear and the spores of Awhile, carried by the Wasps and the Clouds To the Gentlemen of Excellence and Ladies of Courage, illuminated, eyes from the flora of stars faraway forest floor of foreign       fears,       as the hungry Owls of Time prepare a final feast—       Consume the years between Here and Now;       Watching from blank perch, among       the Trees of Afterall; a place beyond expectance.       Sing the branches of experience, to wake       in Siren’s cipher; inelegant forms       of waking, ugly sleep on rocks of seabed; once was aboard a marooned skyline— Those Who Are Will Be again, again a serf in a wave of Time’s refraction.

I sit and look out upon all the sorrows of the world, and upon all oppression and shame; I hear secret convulsive sobs from young men, at anguish with themselves, remorseful after deeds done; I see, in low life, the mother misused by her children, dying, neglected, gaunt, desperate; I see the wife misused by her husband—I see the treacherous seducer of young women; I mark the ranklings of jealousy and unrequited love, attempted to be hid—I see these sights on the earth; I see the workings of battle, pestilence, tyranny—I see martyrs and prisoners; I observe a famine at sea—I observe the sailors casting lots who shall be kill’d, to preserve the lives of the rest; I observe the slights and degradations cast by arrogant persons upon laborers, the poor, and upon negroes, and the like; All these—All the meanness and agony without end, I sitting, look out upon, See, hear, and am silent.

I Sit And Look Out
The old fable covers a doctrine ever new and sublime; that there is One Man, — present to all particular men only partially, or through one faculty; and that you must take the whole society to find the whole man. Man is not a farmer, or a professor, or an engineer, but he is all. Man is priest, and scholar, and statesman, and producer, and soldier. In the divided or social state, these functions are parcelled out to individuals, each of whom aims to do his stint of the joint work, whilst each other performs his. The fable implies, that the individual, to possess himself, must sometimes return from his own labor to embrace all the other laborers. But unfortunately, this original unit, this fountain of power, has been so distributed to multitudes, has been so minutely subdivided and peddled out, that it is spilled into drops, and cannot be gathered. The state of society is one in which the members have suffered amputation from the trunk, and strut about so many walking monsters, — a good finger, a neck, a stomach, an elbow, but never a man. Man is thus metamorphosed into a thing, into many things. The planter, who is Man sent out into the field to gather food, is seldom cheered by any idea of the true dignity of his ministry. He sees his bushel and his cart, and nothing beyond, and sinks into the farmer, instead of Man on the farm. The tradesman scarcely ever gives an ideal worth to his work, but is ridden by the routine of his craft, and the soul is subject to dollars. The priest becomes a form; the attorney, a statute-book; the mechanic, a machine; the sailor, a rope of a ship.

Latin love to be called ******* we pick fruits and vegetables for a living. We latins love cleaning toilets and floors and being maids in rich households. Latins steal what ever ain't tied or sealed to something in rich homes we work as maids in. Latins are mainly janitors or mechanics. Latins got a natural instinct to run when we don't have a a green card from the border patrol. Latins love being migrant workers. Latins dance and have *** all day. Latins don't believe in birth control and our population is growing faster than one of my other cultures asians. We latins think our skin is not brown we closer to white and bleach our hair blonde. We latins love mooch off all and not pay back what we borrow. We love drugs and make them and sell them in our ghettos. We live in small houses with hundreds of family and other latins living in only one room. Latins favorite foods are tacos not like ones taco bell makes. Latins are lazy. Latins come to America to get welfare and make their babies legal immigrants. My latin uncles cell fruit on the freeway off ramp when they aint out doing drugs and scamming money off someone. Latins come to America love working as day laborers to get a day of pay then don't got back to work cause they lazy.

All the while corporations controllin Your mind. YOU aint no gangsta With a pistol grip pump. youre just a **** Prick-average guy Walking a racial divide Elitist **** telling another whitemans lie. To the masses of laborers. Buyin what you be sellin Your notions of success Aint my version of rebellin.

Sharecropping Your Constructs
He hit the canvass cold last night; that impressive frame and charismatic soul father, son and consummate brother went down for the proverbial 10 count; complete with iron band and Iroquois tap out pipes and that fashionable Frank Smith vein there was no grudge in this match no condemning contest or mad cap bout just mano a mano with the dark apparition and it played out precisely (despite the bills and pressing deadlines and calls from Christ) it came with tears and fear in that decisive and surrealistic voice from the ridge they all arrived; on plains and trains valiants and fat boys from across seas and remote hills bringing tales and sorrow angels, laborers and mourners in mass with eagle wreathes and adorning pine it was cited as natural but there ain’t nothing natural about The Heater going down nothing natural for the mauy thai bossman with black leather gloves and golden heart the giver of hope to those blue collar dreamers

The Heater
I am called a scrooge as I dislike this greedy grimy "holiday" of gorging gratuitously on cookies dipped in mashed potatoes. People grabbing & gouging for electronic pop culture distractions to celebrate the "birth" of a baby from a lady who claimed to be a ****** Everyone expects something to be given, pressure permeates those souls who wait 'till last minutes eve as laborers looking for reprieves of this audacious onslaught of wild eyed drooling consumers while I shutter at home watching TV's screaming *Why wait 'till the "holidays" when you could have gotten that anytime?* Kids with detailed lists of wants make parents feel like **** if the money's not there-- traveling to visit relatives the family cares little about while everyone sends fake happy cards espousing happy scenes of fireside matching sweaters next to a tree cut from outside brought in-- a metaphor for the biannual church families dressed up to sing hymns and drink wine. So you can call me a scrooge, or even a grinch, I don't really give a **** cause I've been giving gifts consistently loving thy fellow man.

Grinch Christmas **** You
This Tamarind tree with a thick  thatched roof of leaves spread to all the sides like matted dreadlocks of a sage in silent, inwardly turned contemplation, for long long years has such cool, comfortable shade, that is-- lovely rendezvous to the love smitten, to bill and coo for hours, transit home for nomads who own nothing more than their backpacks and looking for a shade, playground for children in the neighborhood, with curious eyes, resting place for laborers tired from toiling, in the sun all day long. pen for itinerant goats, that playfully fight with each other, kennel for stray pups finding companionship all by themselves, hive for honey bees that hum tunes for all these refugees, venue for a cocophonous congregation of  birds of different feathers, obviously very political, probably arguing about the future plans when such a kind tree no more would be there, soon when the road gets broadened.

An amazing avatar in need of a redeemer
Here I am take my hand lead me along the way I will hold you, I will catch you, by your side I'm gonna stay Reach out in the darkness feel safe with my stronghold When you run away or go astray I'll carry you back to the fold Put your hand in my hand feel the nail scars there Hold my hand and understand just how much I care They can show mercy forgiveness compassion and peace Create or destroy cause distress or bring relief Take my hand and hold it tight When you are weary take my hand don't give up the fight The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few Why won't someone lend a hand? I gave this world you! Take some time to help out and lend a hand Set a good example among your fellow man Reach out and enter in to touch the heart of love A shower of goodness and blessing rains from above Take my hand do not fear I have already won Walk with me and you'll see all that love has done

A for Austerity
the Egyptians of ancient times worked in the sun for few dimes they slavishly carted square blocks to ***** temples and pyramid docks   as the sun streamed down upon their heads the workers in stone wanted their sun god dead they offered orisons to Ra telling him he'd gone too far by sending forth an over abundance of hot solar bars so the laborers of ancient Egypt took refuge from Ra's heat in the pharaoh's cool crypt

Pharaoh's Cool Crypt
Summer morning. Recrossing the borderline from the afterlife, the dreamer is expelled from sleep, the dream lost. I am a dream’s shadow, heavy with transition, jagged from sleep. Light gathers me from every room I have ever slept in onto the shrinking island of the bed. Someone cues the poetry. Unquiet lines. The past was worse than you thought, voices say.  Your life is a weighted skin. Stop swimming against the tide of loss. Sink. Yet gloom is porous. From the sky’s cracked mosaic, Daybreak seeps in. The light reassembles familiar objects, which replace mere longing in ordinary darkness. The things of the world resist but return to radiance, resume the work of existing. We are all day laborers. It's my shift. Summon the coffee. The world yawns before me. And I am, therefore (I think).

Metaphysics of Morning (Reasons for Watching the Sky #12)
I’m going to Republican heaven, Going to meet Republican Jesus After I pay off my school loans Whenever my banker pleases To let me out of the contract With its usurious interest fees And I am sure I will get there When I am down on my knees. I’ll have my Republican Bible With its verses edited wisely To exempt all the white folk From behaving quite nicely And making sure welfare Is only for rich white neighbors The rest are not allowed in Our society except as laborers. I am sure that Republican Jesus Will welcome me quite warmly For supporting the death toll Of our Christian Soldier army. He will be so delighted that We vilified ungodly abortions And how we treated those awful Poor mothers and their orphans. He will have to be delighted That we held back the riches We gained from our warfare Ignoring our soldiers in ditches Or maimed in those battles We know you wanted us to wage In the name of Republican Jesus Out of our holy sense of rage. Republican Jesus surely will See how cleverly we diverted The money to the richest people Not the soldiers we deserted. And, how only the people who Did not need help financially Got all the extra wealth we had And we made sure of it annually. I’m going to Republican heaven, Going to meet Republican Jesus And I’m sure greed and bigotry Will just tickle him to pieces Because it says in the Bible The only people who will get in Are the people that look like me And vote for all the same men.

REPUBLICAN HEAVEN
We live in a house, simple and nice With a garden lined with crotons in rows Not so neatly trimmed or pruned as before And a lawn not always well manicured But abounding in plants with blooms of varied hue From shady corners, orchids peep They bring forth flowers in bunches and mass Only on certain seasons, not the year round. Then a visual treat to the eyes, indeed! Trees big and small border our land Mango trees and jack fruit trees Coconut palms and guava trees Twining creepers with globular passion fruits Bushy plants of sweet and sour berries Rose apples, papayas and Chinese limes An epitome of country abundance! In front of the house was once a stretch of fields Lush and fresh with paddy plants in June And in autumn, bent with arching sheaves of corn Green parakeets used to come from far To eat the grains ready to be reaped Having their fill they would fly westward in flocks Such scenes were a source of instant delight But sad enough, those fields were gradually filled In place of paddy and other seasonal crops Industrial units, big and small have emerged By degrees, the quiet and coolness of the place That once soothed our frayed nerves are gone Now an exodus of men have landed here Laborers who have come from Northern states To eke out a living in a better clime Speaking languages, Bengali, Hindi and Tamil Leaving the area noisy with incessant chatter Along the road that runs parallel to our house Now speeds past, motors in unbroken row Honking horns and raising a screen of smoky dust Spoiling the ambiance of our verdant setting And badly impairing the neat surroundings But with every change of scene and setting We, like nomads cannot change our stay or dwelling Well acclimatized to all noise and commotion We now stick to our home, our humble haven And strive to create within an inner landscape Not polluted by the ravages of time or clime Home is the sanctuary where we roost and rest A sweet dwelling, more than all mansions blest And it should be an abode of love where hearts embrace Every turn of life, grim or merry with no fuss but with grace How sweet it is to dwell beneath this roof Our wedded life’s enduring love’s living proof!

Latins favorite foods are tacos not like ones taco bell makes. Latins are lazy. Latins come to America to get welfare and make their babies legal immigrants. My latin uncles cell fruit on the freeway off ramp when they aint out doing drugs and scamming money off someone. Latins come to America love working as day laborers to get a day of pay then don't got back to work cause they lazy.

manual laborers all present ready to begin heart, liver, lungs, stomach all here ready to begin each piling up bricks one by one stacking them on top of each other manual labor taking seconds minutes days years time flying by as the bricks keep piling up held tightly by violet veins squeezing the bricks close and tense finally after a decade of organic construction a wall stands as tall as china's visible by extra terrestrials on a distant world but what was not visible was the familiar natural disaster that stormed in from behind coming in from the blind spot this friendly natural disaster shook down the wall it cut the veins with violent blades and left to continue with its destruction of construction the heart, liver, lungs, and stomach watched their masterpiece crumble down into the earth.

Constructive Organs
I dream dark and quietly They bellow, the twisted sighs of laborers adrift a midsummer's lullaby, because their eyes are a collage of uncertainty I want to scatter them, find them washed up on a desolate shore, uncork them decode the message inside, The monarch's sea ebbs black and thick and drips on a satellite, a power struggle between stillness and the busy orbit of our minds. All the sin the king commits is revealed in the innocent, sapphire tears of his children, dampening his shadow. Youthful hearts aflame, chasing illusions, They won't challenge the stories, not anymore. We dream this night, a never-ending cycle. I feel us here under the twisting tree of life, any soul seeking nourishment from leaky roots: We are your child's laughter. We are your fear of death. Let us dance upon your lilies, let the flies handle the rest.

I am Blasianic(black, asian, latin mix) part 2 Latin love to be called ******* we pick fruits and vegetables for a living. We latins love cleaning toilets and floors and being maids in rich households. Latins steal what ever ain't tied or sealed to something in rich homes we work as maids in.

Latins dance and have *** all day. Latins don't believe in birth control and our population is growing faster than one of my other cultures asians. We latins think our skin is not brown we closer to white and bleach our hair blonde. We latins love mooch off all and not pay back what we borrow. We love drugs and make them and sell them in our ghettos. We live in small houses with hundreds of family and other latins living in only one room. Latins favorite foods are tacos not like ones taco bell makes. Latins are lazy. Latins come to America to get welfare and make their babies legal immigrants.

Not many would better understand than me the meaning of first hand serving experience. I volunteered and used to teach in a group called 'Swapan' (run by the social service group Nishqam of CITM Faridabad, now known as MRIU) which undertook imparting laborers' kids free education. I don't believe in donating because I don't earn yet, but I volunteer whenever I am able to go out to their world. I just wait for the right time I get to be in contact with such people. What I did in Swapan program was more than just teaching; we used to take care of their health by getting them periodic vaccination, by having them attend a regular school near our college, getting their fees deposited, organizing events for mustering funds for the same and many more. But at the end of my 2nd year I met a serious accident, just prior to my 4th semester B.Tech-Biotech exams which pushed me into a 23 day coma; I was close to death. But I didn't lose my spirit even after I came back to my senses. As the path of destiny had it, CITM became MRIU which didn't continue with the MDU degree I'm currently enrolled into. So I was made to shift colleges and go to Rohtak for college since then and there was no such opportunity anywhere in close proximity.
