USE WILL TO KILL ANGER-DEVIL

When I foolishly shout
I lose everyone's respect
Then I am badly talked about
Due to this menacing defect
By anger I also lose the bout
As anger has a disastrous effect
"Cool down" is the correct rule
Pool calm thoughts via brain-tool
Fool anger by using mind-school
Only kind words you must utter
Being kind makes all surely fine
Imprison anger via silence-shutter
Often pray to the mighty Divine
To make mood better not bitter,
As anger levies the heftiest fine.

MY LIFE APPRAISED AND GOD APPRISED

Only losses I have met
Success is to me a stranger
Mine is a very bad Kismet
Comes to me only danger
I am fate's pathetic puppet
Treated worse than a scavenger
Not even a single success
Got only defeats in excess
Caught by a hellish stress
I am ready to depart
By fully accepting the blame
In severe agony I contort
After losing badly life-game
Nothing to comfort my heart
I have experienced only shame

END IS A CLOSE FRIEND

Death may at any time come
In any form unknown to us
Only death we cannot overcome
May be a good deed death does
Let us hope peace is the outcome
When death decides to address
Choice of God will only prevail
Voice made by us will fail
With equipoise, end, let us avail
Death let us warmly welcome
Without making foolish fuss
Very sensible let us become
By worrying less and less
Prayer is the only income
Which helps us to redress.
