Respect

By

The life so beautiful, why to destroy it with wrath
The hypnosis of materialism, leads to wrong path
Thou may be confined to pain, impossible to flee
Straining you deeply, but still face it with a glee
Respect is something you can't get for free

From ground zero you begin, striding to the top
Clearing all the milestones, kept for you to stop
The tests are conducted for your own benchmark
You may win or lose, you can't build Noah's ark
Respect is something you can't get for free

Thou shall find the hidden treasures, not outside
A common place unknown to all, close to you it reside
People's unscrupulous talks keep messing up my mind
They want something in return, to which you are bind
Respect is something you can't get for free 

Earning it requires a patience that of a colossal
Entwined it is, you need to be your own apostle  
It slowly keeps growing on, just take the decree
With roots dug deep below, like that of a tree
Respect is something you can't get for free

    I like the theme... and the opening line as well...
    "Respect is something you can't get for free " -- so true... very well done.

    Reminds of me of a quote, "Respect is never demanded, it is always commanded."

    A beautifully written poem :)

The Best Laid Plans by Sidney Sheldon - a review

By
The Best Laid Plans by Sidney Sheldon Title :- BEST LAID PLANS Author :- Sidney Sheldon Number of Pages :- 344 Publisher :- Harper Collins Genre :- Suspense/Thriller My Verdict:-  I came across this book while browsing Sidney Sheldon's books. The one great thing about the author I like the most is that he plans and implement the plot very cleverly. He knows how to pull the readers attention and he is very much successful in building up the suspense throughout the storyline. This book is about jealousy, anger, ego revenge and all sorts of similar emotions you can think of. The plot is extremely well executed and Sidney Sheldon knows well when to open up the mystery. The conspiracy theory he brings in in this book is pretty much attention grabbing which will lead you to crave for more. It is about two characters primarily, Leslie Stewart who is a beautiful PR executive who learns through her experience that power is all she needed for the revenge. Oliver Russe...

I Have Waited Enough

By
  Walking away Past the shadows Waiting for my time You suddenly turned up All the times of pleasure Took over the pain Those unforgettable innocent eyes And that cute smile... I have waited enough You don't get it I guess you never will And it was a beautiful night The time when we kissed And stayed together Hand in hand, our love bloomed Oh, I loved every bit of it, I still do! We hit the sidewalk Walking past the insinuations And the implications Only to lose it all... I have waited enough You don't get it I guess you never will And it was a beautiful night...
