Traditions Poems

This institution,
perhaps one should say enterprise
out of respect for which
one says one need not change one's mind

I.

MAN, being the servant and interpreter of Nature, can do and understand so much and so much only as he has observed in fact or in thought of the course of nature: beyond this he neither knows anything nor can do anything.

The pure products of America
go crazy--
mountain folk from Kentucky

The Government -- I heard about the Government and
I went out to find it. I said I would look closely at
it when I saw it.
Then I saw a policeman dragging a drunken man to

You're my friend:
I was the man the Duke spoke to;
I helped the Duchess to cast off his yoke, too;
So here's the tale from beginning to end,
My friend!

I.

You're my friend:
I was the man the Duke spoke to;
...

Should you ask me,
whence these stories?
Whence these legends and traditions,
With the odors of the forest
...

As one who in his journey bates at noon,
Though bent on speed; so here the Arch-Angel paused
Betwixt the world destroyed and world restored,
If Adam aught perhaps might interpose;
...

Within the body lies the essence which the Vedas and the Puranas are seeking.
Within this body exists the entire Universe, so the sagacious Saints say.

I, WHO erewhile the happy Garden sung
By one man's disobedience lost, now sing

PRELUDE.

Pleasant it was, when woods were green,
And winds were soft and low,
...

As a sparkling Diamond among the nations
India stands beautifully in shape and size
On the Map of the World attracting all!
For, India, the land of beauty and greatness
...

Thus they in lowliest plight repentant stood
Praying, for from the Mercie-seat above
Prevenient Grace descending had remov'd
The stonie from thir hearts, and made new flesh
...

ONCE I pass'd through a populous city, imprinting my brain, for
future use, with its shows, architecture, customs, and
traditions;
...

WEAPON, shapely, naked, wan!
Head from the mother's bowels drawn!
Wooded flesh and metal bone! limb only one, and lip only one!
...

ALL submit to them, where they sit, inner, secure, unapproachable to
analysis, in the Soul;
Not traditions--not the outer authorities are the judges--they are
...

Perplexed and troubled at his bad success
The Tempter stood, nor had what to reply,
Discovered in his fraud, thrown from his hope
So oft, and the persuasive rhetoric

(dedicated to my all poet friend from India at poemhunter)

Jaya, Jaya, Jaya, Jayahe!
Truth Alone Triumph

In those days said Hiawatha,
"Lo! how all things fade and perish!
From the memory of the old men
Pass away the great traditions,

Hist, but a word, fair and soft!
Forth and be judged, Master Hugues!

Those who support and argue for tradition never can give a satisfying answer for why they believe in those traditions. Those who believe in traditional gender roles and traditional marriage, are merely giving their preference for the kind of relationships they think should be preserved and instituted. They may refer then to some book someone's written, but it will never really do anything to give credibility to their viewpoint. The same could be applied to the New morality as some have called it. All that it is is someone's own interpretation of life through the lens of their own belief system.
That gender norms continue to be part of our cultural dialogue means that there are people who still hold to the teachings of the Mosaic Law, however dusty and
weatherbeaten the teachings stand up to be. These people believe it was not God's plan of salvation to have world peace as we believe it to mean, and that Jesus did not take away the requirements of the Mosaic Law.
These beliefs are rigidly held even though they can be thought of as matters of opinion.

Our Christmas plans are finalized…this year we will celebrate…
our Christmas not on Christmas…but December 28.

Our family has some Christmas traditions that when we blended together we created…
...

I love Christmas traditions…from the food to the presents to the tree…how each family has our own traditions…locked into our memory.

I remember Christmases in Ohio…where I was born…where I did my earliest growing…I remember our aluminum Christmas tree with rotating colors…I remember cold…I remember snowing.
...

I love family traditions…but with a blended family and only so much time in any holiday…we decided…when we blended…to celebrate our holidays in untraditional ways.

I believe if William Shakespeare was alive today he'd find a way to spin it…he'd say, ‘these traditions of yours be madness…yet there is a method in it.'

Life to live
Understand backwards;
Or live forward.
Backward is a worry

Traditional way of celebrating functions and remembrance day
Have no fixed programmes to follow by anyone or everyone sure;
Tradition can be changed according to time and place changes;
What's important is true love involved in doing them forever!
