Why choose to be an Hypocrite?

Why choose to be an Hypocrite?       

Hypocrisy is contrivance of a false appearance of virtue or goodness while concealing real character traits especially with respect to moral beliefs while Integrity is the quality of being honest and having strong principles. This poem is an effort to make peple think on what they choose to be an Hypocrite or a Man of Integrity

Why choose to be an Hypocrite When one can be a man of one's words?
	Hypocrisy longs to impress others But misses the internal traits
Hypocrisy is pretension Integrity is true self
	Hypocrisy is double dealing Integrity is trustworthiness
Hypocrisy is two facedness Integrity is candidness
	Hypocrisy is duplicity Integrity is honesty
Hypocrisy is deceit Integrity  is veracity
	An hypocrite is an impostor A man of one's words is original
Hypocrisy is transitory Integrity has purity
	Hypocrisy is wickedness Integrity is righteousness
Hypocrisy is demoniac Integrity is angelic
	Practice what you preach Says the scriptures Why be an hypocrite When one can be a man of Integrity?
Why be an Hypocrite When one can be a man of Integrity? Let’s choose to be men of Our words Rather than an Hypocrite

                                               

To Tolerate or To Accept ?

                                 

To Tolerate or To Accept ?

We tolerate sometimes

We Accept sometimes

Let us ponder a little

To tolerate or To Accept?

Tolerance expects change

Acceptance accepts as it is

Tolerance is a forced action

Acceptance is a willful action

Tolerance may create internal stress

Acceptance will enhance emotional health

Tolerance is a hold to maintain relationship

Acceptance is love beyond differences

Tolerance is indifference

Acceptance needs compassion

Tolerance creates pain

Acceptance leads to happiness

Tolerance doesn’t attune to  others views

Acceptance understands others views

Tolerance is conditional

Acceptance is unconditional

Tolerance is a step forward

Acceptance is a solution

Tolerance may not give peace

Acceptance gives peace

Tolerance has its limits

Acceptance crosses all boundaries

Tolerance is related with I

Acceptance is related with Us

Tolerance is maturity at lower strata

Acceptance is a higher level of maturity

Tolerance poses superiority

Acceptance sees divinity

Tolerance is temporary

Acceptance is permanent

Tolerance is self-centered

Acceptance is expanding oneself

Tolerance is a weakness

Acceptance needs strength

Tolerance encompasses fear

Acceptance  is enveloped in love

We tolerate sometimes

We Accept sometimes

Let us ponder a little

To tolerate or To Accept?

Lame is not a disability

Lame is not a disability  

The kitten was born  on a fateful morn It had its doom With a leg deform

The kitten  was born lame Or was its mother to blame We did want to disclaim For it may bring us some shame

Was it the mother’s fault For its life almost ground to a halt We thought it would be difficult For it may not gestalt

It had a sibling To which it did cling The sibling looked pretty healthy And this kitten was shamefully unhealthy

One fine morn It lay under the teak One fine morn With ants on it at its peak

The  mother of the kitten Did not seem to be smitten Though its kitten was bitten But its fate seemed to be written

We felt the kitten would die For it was  breathing with sigh We couldn’t pacify And give any resupply

The sibling was bitten By a creature glutton All of a sudden Without any summon

The sibling died But this kitten survived To our utter surprise How did it thrive?

It raced on par with all other cats And appeared aristocrat And did overlap In spite of the handicap

It is inspiring to watch The little kitten overcome All its disabilities With its rule of thumb

Today it has grown And indeed out shown Every one in its zone In spite of its prone

Lame is not disability It is just a little debility Can turn into ability If the will has agility

The Conscience - Listen to that voice within

                               

The Conscience - Listen to that voice within

There is a voice within To tell  the good from the bad There is a voice within To understand and be glad
	There is a voice within To oppose when wrong There is a voice within Which sings a truthful song
There is a voice within Which prescribes  to take on the chin There is a voice within One can  subscribe and win
	There is a voice within To guide you in the path of truth There is a voice within That will ever make you soothe
There is a voice within So clear and acute There is a voice within Too sincere to  excuse
	Heeding to that voice Will never get one wrong Heeding to that voice will always make one strong
Listen to that voice When you get confused Listen to that voice Before you accuse
	Listen to that voice Never lock it down Listen to that voice for it will never let one down
Listen to that voice When you feel messy Listen to that voice When you feel fussy
	Listen to that voice For it brings love Listen to that voice For it is where truth delve
Listen to that voice For that is a Divine voice Listen to that voice For it is the Best choice
