EIGHT DECADES OF EXPERIENCES

Eight Decades Experience

My mind has studied
millions of human minds
I 'd love to share my experience
with all poets if you don't mind
and are WILLING

Else leave me in the far folds
of TIME'S DOLDRUMS/OBLIVION

I'm an infant poet till as of now
yet millions read me across the Internet somehow
I simply say WOW

It is my firm belief
SUCCESS and ABILITY
have no RELATIONSHIP
CIRCUMSTANCE and ENVIRONMENT take the cake
HERITAGE
just contributes some sort of
Manure do it well shake

GUYS must be born with basic
SKILLS
of MANIPULATION
but take care
DESIRE is the very SEED
which helps EGO to BREED
that is taken over by
NARCISSISM
of that have no doubt

sad to share
of EGO Cancer
there's NO CARE
no doc can share.
I alone till today
BARE

So I leave my ESSENCE
experience of salt
that is ESSENTIAL after all
ere from the heights of
NIAGARA
one does fall
of that SAFETY
who can assure
I PROMISE
NOT me at all.

Ah, lovedly

..your wisdom spans many ages, your words are like the voice of Niagara; As Natural as the infinity of man's thoughts.
