Basil's Brain

Roses are black Violets are yellow Satire full whack is great to follow Grass is green Cloud is white Whatever you mean tell it right The sky is blue on a clear bright day When you have no clue let your heart lead the way The moon hides on a dark night Bad times will tide everything turning out right Buttercups dance in sunlight Kids play hide and seek Laugh and feel light beats being scared and meek Daisies are pretty Bluebells are lovely Do not be petty face all bravely Sugar is sweet Pickles are sour Till we meet i'll count the hour Justice is blind Fairness a lie If you look behind you will never say bye

i wish i was uncaring... Getting hurt too heavy a burden i want to be less caring And free my heart from worry i wish i was uncaring... The ache too painful to bear i want to be less caring And release my mind from concern i wish i was uncaring... Being emotional selectively i want to be less caring And feel peace in my heart To be uncaring... Is easy Treat all as strangers and exercise indifference To be less caring i practise solitude Away from troubles protected in a bubble Tis better to be caring to a stranger than kin There is no gain nor pain Just lightness within i've learnt my lessons well And hope wisdom will protect me Ties bring misery Detached...i fly free Liberated from the shackles of CARING

i bet you and everyone else on this planet has had an encounter with an impostor. Not the one in a costume but the very real hypocrite. We need some kind of inner detector to stay far away from these fake good samaritans. Truth is; there aren't that many good people left on Earth. People who laugh a lot - it doesn't mean they are such sunny personalities. Behind that toothpaste commercial grin is a vile, vicious and venomous mortal. You could say; a split personality of sorts. They con, cheat, manipulate and lie through their teeth!. You have met them,haven't you? The smooth talkers who can carry on and on as if the rest of mankind are morons and the drama queens whose smile can in an instant turn into a sneer of disdain. Always plotting and planning to turn the screw tighter on an unsuspecting victim. The worst kind are those who cause much damage that takes an awful lot of time to recover from, appearing so slighted should you ignore and avoid them. Such nerve! and wh

Be quick!,Hurry!,Work faster!- You hear these words everywhere; a parent scolding a child to hurry up chewing food, an employer chiding an employee to produce work in unreasonable time, caretakers admonishing the elderly and sick to be quick. It's fast,faster,fastest everywhere,resulting in tension,stress and health is affected also quality of life is compromised. Is it really necessary?. To hurry eating and end up with indigestion?. To let your fingers fly over the keyboard only to end up with appalling grammar mistakes?. It seems being slow and steady is passe and frowned upon. If you are taking time doing something, then you are left behind. From what?...i wonder. The one who does not conform to the craziness of doing everything in speed is labelled unproductive,slow learner,probably has some medical condition and good to be cast aside. Step away or you get bulldozed by cruel remarks, spiteful critiques and degrading treatment. Quality has been pushed so far behind that it

i cannot sign and have never been in a situation where i had to communicate with a mute person. i was faced with such a situation last week and it was an eye opener. No words needed in a world of silence and a different set of problems to overcome. How do you express a joke?. How do you relate a message without causing any misunderstanding?. Having a sense of humour helps.Being patient and letting the 'silent' person 'speak' is important instead of just focusing on getting across what you want to say. i felt helpless while the person in front of me was all smiles and in no hurry to communicate with me. He was not the least perturbed and did his best to understand my fumbling finger movements and worried expression!. He just wanted to 'talk', 'listen' and enjoy my company. Eventually,i relaxed and laughed along as we both managed to understand...more or less to accomplish what we wanted - To walk to a nearby fruit stall to buy fruits. Oh!, we talked

Take a walk to clear your mind Collect your thoughts commune with nature Take a walk slow the incessant sounds Think calm,let go of chores connect with your inner self Take a walk breathe naturally Feast on serenity away from all technology Take a walk and when all is quiet Reflect on,revive yourself be relaxed,feel joy Take a walk it's good for you To compose and be centred So slow down...Take those steps

i cry a tear... For the pain i carry My heart is painful the load is heavy Step by step... i gain strength From the support i get hurt recedes, i feel relief Day by day... My hope grows to live, to laugh To have dreams As time passes... Love grows in my heart i accept the inevitable i must live my best life Unloved... Because i am sick no longer counts i've found my wings
