1.Thumbs up
Thumbs up no matter what comes up
Kick the problems down and jump up
Little bit of money little bit of honey
Little bit of luck saves any dummy
If you've money in your pocket
you can fly like a rocket
If you have little bit of luck
you can never get stuck
Thumbs up no matter what comes up
kick the problems down and jump up
If you have couple of songs in your head
you can merrily sing and go ahead
If you don't have money try your luck
If luck doesn't work rely on work,
work never fails never work chuck
work brings both money and luck
Thumbs up no matter what comes up
kick the problems down and jump up
2.When Dreams fail
Sometimes fair horses do trail in races
should brazen jockeys wail and lose faces
frozen rain balls from the sky hails
powerful gales rave and do stop the sails
sometimes beautiful dreams do fail
don't let your heart with the dreams fail
dry your failed dreams on the rail
don’t cry, rail your senses if they are frail
After all, yellow leaves from the trees fall
Water in seas, in vapor form to sky sail
All men in old age should accept time’s call
Build a wall to bothering dreams or drive a nail
Don’t your heart with dreams overload
Sensitive heart might anytime explode
3.Substance
Love is distant hill
Love is Life's thrill
not a routine drill
True love has the will
Love is summer's song
Love is spring's bang
Its road is hard and long
smile and sing and walk along
If something went wrong
It moment's ping-pong
choose a different song
and try to get along
when love has the substance
it never looks for distance
4.Silence
Thou art silence! Are you a doctor or a saint?
I don't know but you are a beautiful paint
why dewllest thou in the far away forest?
why lingerest thou on the lofty hill crest?
thou art silence! Are you a king or a queen?
I don't know but you are royal and clean
why reignst thou the lake and mountain?
why springst thou like a splendid fountain?
Thou art silence thine eye is surveillance
Thou art to wounded mind the ambulance
When mortal man can't cross mind's border
Thou bringst mind into souls order
Silence is mind's best forest
troubled souls rest on its breast
5. Balderdash
You cried too much for me, poor fellow!
Balderdash ! the leaf is turning yellow!
You meditated for me since childhood
Balderdash ! you lost it in wild-wood
knowing that I am in every tomorrow
you looked for unknown tomorrow
you heat's a burrow and mind so narrow
you lost the present for struggle and sorrow
Remember today is your birthday
Balderdash! don't think future today
I bid farewell at your birthday party
Balderdash! don't make life dirty
Remember I'm no more after sixty
Relax and live your life hearty
6. Present pledge
Future future oh my future
You're my goal said my teacher
I didn't know who you are
I walked the road far and far
when I flung my youthful wing
my heart your cheerful song sang
in the sweet melodious tone
on hope's horizon you're clearly shone
After decades of flight you're still vary far
But I can't quit the fight I am still in war
Future future you are nowhere near
future future I found you in my fear
For you I drudge and drudge, and present impledge
Now I pledge to remove life's wedge sitting on present's edge
7. Life
Passions like fashions are inflammable
They are truly intrepid and untamable
They often grow out of boundary
while desire burns in spirit's foundry
Before youth melts, use your sense
don't wait in dark at youth's expense
let not love in heart condense
remove the watchful eye's fence
When there is no light at tunnel's end
why not in tunnel's silence spend
a few moments with your fair friend
don't let loneliness like life pretend
Don't cry life is slipping out of hand
cuz life can't be totally planned
8.Half naked
How long have you woven
like a weaver bird the beautiful nest
of love but why you keep it in oven?
Have you lost the zest or is it love's test?
My heart has suffered like a bird
I felt awkward and half naked
Yet I could not utter a single word
I know your love's half baked
Oh you called me for the love feast
What are you boiling on the stove
perhaps I am the sacrificial beast
cuz it's nothing but my long strained love
My love once purely a flood
Now became food, oh my love's dead!!
( not aimed at criticizing anybody )
9. Pain
Like the hot sun in the summer noon
It pricks your mind like a harpoon
sounds like a gloomy tune of a bassoon
with universal measuring spoon
God gives pain to every creature
Pain is just the standard feature
and a perfect meter that clearly says
that how a man can his life face
you can not immediately kick it out
You can not instantly block it out
there is only one way to get out
walk alone in wilderness and shout
look at your response to pain
wait patiently until it drain
don't stretch and strain
slowly use your brain
Never in life choose wine
lest your health should decline
10. Exile
when people around are concerned only about hunger
and always run around money and their nights murder
when they have no time to look at you and smile
when a friend smiles not to smile but to beguile
Why worship social media in the name of friendship
why not make your craftsmanship the space ship
and go into exile after all what beauty is left in society
why should you live with all stress and insecurity
Pissed are the artists who live among stupids like dunces
Blessed are the nomads who wander in unknown places
Fortunate are those who hear their own heart's drums
Stones are better then crooked friends who sit like mums
with crooks gems can not shine like gems
embrace exile, this is truth my verse hums
బ్రతకడానికి డబ్బు అవసరం. అలాగని డబ్బు సంతోషాన్ని ఇవ్వదు. ఉన్నంతలో కలో గంజో తాగి ఒకరి కోసం ఒకరు బతికే బతుకులో ఆనందం ఉంది.
