Duties Poems

It little profits that an idle king,
By this still hearth, among these barren crags,
Match'd with an aged wife, I mete and dole
Unequal laws unto a savage race,
...

Busy old fool, unruly Sun,
Why dost thou thus,
Through windows, and through curtains, call on
us?
...

Earth, Ocean, Air, belovèd brotherhood!
If our great Mother has imbued my soul
With aught of natural piety to feel
Your love, and recompense the boon with mine;
...

The green village, the colored city, the ever familiar locality
Each path, tree, house, turn, each native I have left behind
But creepers, hedges have entangled with my leg and hand
The green crops fields, green hills, fruit trees, call me back,
...

I'm taking a walk to the cemetery this morning,
be back before noontime for crumpets and tea.
I have two friends who died not so long ago;
they were brothers, treated me the same.
...

I have no time to notice
what takes place around me

Distractions daily duties grab focus
...

Beautiful Evelyn Hope is dead!
Sit and watch by her side an hour.
That is her book-shelf, this her bed;
She plucked that piece of geranium-flower,
Beginning to die too, in the glass;
...

A certain yaksha who had been negligent in the execution of his own duties,
on account of a curse from his master which was to be endured for a year and
which was onerous as it separated him from his beloved, made his residence
among the hermitages of Ramagiri, whose waters were blessed by the bathing
...

The lonely soul wanders
Alone in the walks of life
No other soul as his companion
The lonely soul wanders
...

ENDYMION.

A Poetic Romance.
...

Bereft of soul
My body shall be bare.
Bereft of body
My soul shall be bare.
...

Milton! thou shouldst be living at this hour;
England hath need of thee: she is a fen
Of stagnant waters: altar, sword, and pen,
Fireside, the heroic wealth of hall and bower,
...

I.
THE FATHER.

FATHER of Heaven, and Him, by whom
...

King Dushyant in a chariot, pursuing an antelope, with a bow and quiver, attended by his Charioteer.
...

The gay young men and the love-sick girls,
and the abandoned widows suffering in sleepless delirium,
and the young pregnant wives of thirty hours ...
...

One lesson, Nature, let me learn of thee,
One lesson which in every wind is blown,
One lesson of two duties kept at one
Though the loud world proclaim their enmity--
...

Gowri was the name given to her,
Gorgeous white Pomeranian,
Black eyes bright like
Black berries ripe,
...

Pray to what earth does this sweet cold belong,
Which asks no duties and no conscience?
The moon goes up by leaps, her cheerful path
In some far summer stratum of the sky,
...

Nature's lay idiot, I taught thee to love,
And in that sophistry, Oh, thou dost prove
Too subtle: Foole, thou didst not understand
The mystic language of the eye nor hand:
...

MYSELF and mine gymnastic ever,
To stand the cold or heat--to take good aim with a gun--to sail a
boat--to manage horses--to beget superb children,
...

RIGHTS AND DUTIES

Who is an independent person who can live alone expecting no support and company?
One who is independent in thoughts, words and deeds in the world is sure independent;
A person who has no friend and wife or children managing oneself all day is independent one;
This independence is possible to enjoy only by person living in independent nation!
...

(A poem based on the Deontic Theory of Immanuel Kant)

Gasping for breath, trembling and terrified,
I am being cornered by two obligations
...

Once we make the choice to bring a child into this world we have a duty to that child…as their life unfurls.

Yes, once the choice is made…the choice of child birth…it is our duty to help our children feel safe and happy during their stay upon this Earth.
...

Everything is uncertain in this precarious world full of pros and cons in all walks of life;
Whatever we do, we should not expect sure of anything as we are controlled from above;
We have to do our duties and should not expect result of our heart good or bad;
For, that is the word of Lord of Bhagavad Gita to overcome any disappointment ever!

Human rights
...

Like crescent Moon to full Moon, all living beings grow doing natural duties;
Natural duties depend upon natures of all in the world since the beginning on;
On that point many differ according to each one's intelligence and wisdom;
Wisdom only helps to choose the correct way to follow despite intellect!
...

Heat energy reflects the existence of consciousness of one in the life of the world;
Reincarnation takes place for the completion and fulfilment of one's karma in the world;
Incarnation of divine personality takes place to bring justice govern human life ever;
Transmigration of such beings take place to tell all permanence of spiritual bliss!

Duties have been assigned this morning
But his mind is preoccupied with a TV show he saw last night
Something to do with the human brain and its pleasure centers
Colorful graphics helped make him drowsy
