What Is And Has Been

Once I saw the morning sky
That was clear and blue
And thought the day was
Going to be bright

Then I saw at mid morning
Dark clouds over the hills
And expected rain
Which sure enough came

After the rain the sky cleared
To show again the blue sky
And this time I thought
The day will be bright

Only as long as
God willed it to be so
Without presumption beyond
What is and has been

And I thank the Lord
For all that has been
And will be
According to His plan

A Golfer Would Say

People often confuse many things

To conclude erroneously 

Like how as one ages 

One mentally matures

When in reality

People just get old

Maintaining their immaturity

Socially and mentally

Not all 

But majority of them

In this regard more true

Among highly educated

More accomplished

Not necessarily more intelligent

But more driven with 

Anal retentive personality

Who spent much of their lives

Behind the desk in academia

To come out at the end 

With a doctorate degree of any field

Compounding the problem

By which somehow the doctorate degree

Entitles them to believe that they are

More knowledgeable in any aspect of life

Not merely in their own field of study

But also with higher integrity character and 

Understanding of life

Far be it from the truth

At least the thieves know they are thieves

Being honest crooks with integrity

But so many educated and learned

Many of them professionals in the society

Are crooks who would die before admitting

That they are crooks with no integrity 

Let alone honesty or dignity

Utilizing whatever undignified method 

Dishonorable twisted way of rationalization

Or action at their disposal 

To climb the ladder 

To achieve further 

To accomplish more

To continue their life long journey

As that is all they know how to live

Leaving the path of destruction

All the while not aware of their misdeeds

On the contrary feeling self righteous

Self admiring

To that a mountain climber would say

A fisherman would say

A golfer would say

A runner would say

Anyone with self respect would say

It is not what you have accomplished

But how 

Whether The Planner Is Evil

There is a way
To tell whether a plan
Is devised by an evil man
Or a good man

Plan made by an evil man
Expects evil counteraction
And the result of that counteraction
Will benefit someone else
Besides the intended beneficiary

Whereas a plan made by a good man
Expects a good counteraction
And the result of that counteraction
Will benefit the very person
The plan was designed for

So when an evil man executes a plan
And counteraction is not evil but good
It results in unexpected consequences
And vice versa
Foiling their ultimate desired results

Therefore
To see whether a plan is evil or good
Apply both evil and good counteraction
And see who or what will be the outcome

Which will tell you
Whether the planner is evil
Or good

Meanwhile The Donkey

Believe it or not
Some people bring a donkey
And try to convince people
That it is really a horse

And there are some
Who despite initial doubts
Succumb to their ardent persuasion
And believe it is really a horse

Which makes you wonder
Whether the person who actually
Brought the donkey is confused
And believes it is really a horse

Or that person is trying
To sell donkey as a horse
For ulterior motive
Most likely a scam of some sort

And the person being convinced
May have finally agreed
That it is truly a horse
Because he truly believes it is

Or may just have agreed
Upon realizing there is no alternative
To convince the other guy
And wanted to end the argument

Meanwhile the donkey
Standing by as a donkey
As it always has been
Wonders WTF is going on

Yet No Fear Of God

It is too unfortunate

That no one fears God

With each minute passing by

Getting closer to that day

Perhaps tomorrow

Or next year

Or at the ripe old age

Ultimately going the way

Of everyone that walked the earth

Except two or three they say

Not exactly sure

But certainly you will not

Be one of them

Yet no fear of God

Not even an afterthought

Enters the mind of a fool

Who carries out the plans

Of the evil one

Voluntarily at that

Rousing the anger of God

Who is slow to anger

But woe to those who do

For He will bring calamity

Upon their household

And their soul

At 75

People love to blame others
Point fingers
To everyone and everything
Except their own self

Such that upon seeing a car
Zipping by at 200 miles per hour
That is after seeing the same car
At 150 miles per hour
Before that same car
At 100 miles per hour
And prior to that
85 miles per hour

And having done nothing
To put a stop to it
At 50 mph speed zone
Now seeing the car
At 200 miles per hour
Says to oneself
Enough is enough
That driver is going to jail

And arrests the driver
Puts him in jail
And feel they have done
Their fiduciary duty

As the employer of the driver
The owner of the car
While the driver sits in jail
Wondering only if they
Had stopped me

At 75

With Painted Stripes

One of the most foolish
Things that people do
Often demonstrated by
Those who would otherwise
Appear intelligent and accomplished
But ultimately lacks wisdom

Is acting on the belief
Making decisions based on
Their foolish philosophy
That tells them
Just slap on the Mercedes
Emblem on a Honda Civic

And call it Mercedes
Present it as Mercedes
Drive it like a Mercedes

Like a horse
With painted stripes
Calling itself a zebra

Either For Or Against

A man with green hair

And red pants

Applies for a job

And company A says

This man is bold

Ahead of current times

He is hired

While company B says

This man is too bold

Not in line with current trend

He is not hired

Except that company A

And company B 

Are not two different companies

But the same

The only difference being

A is when facing a man 

They want to hire

And B is when facing a man

They don't want to hire

Such that every single time

They can hire anyone

They choose to hire

Always finding the reasons

Either for or against

Based on what

Yes

Whatever that may be
