The Workaholic Rules of Battle

 
C’mon, work hard, thick-headed cattle!
But after – awesomely have fun —
The workaholic rules of battle,
You don’t agree? You’d better run!
 

An Education Way

 
A humanities-mind
Takes an interest in kind
Of psychology, law, literature and history.
He can all of these things bind
So as to himself-path find
Having sprung to the prosperity from misery.
 
 
If the way things are today
It has not to lead astray
By the means of math, geometry and other stinks.
In the form of a role-play
It’s enough for him to stay
His attention on the essence of these disciplines.
 
 
Going forward he’ll become
A man with a good income:
A great writer, poet, artist or historian.
Or when someone is a fan
Of biology he can
Get a chemist or physician with an aureole.
 
 
To a techie we should give
An awareness-raising brief
Of aesthetics, music and historic evidence.
For to live without grief
That he didn’t turn a chief
In designing, electronics; with his diligence
 
 
He can make true own dream
As a splendid expert in
Architecture, engineering or astronomy.
If in life you want to win
You have not to do a stream
From the teaching process, forming the herd’s colony.
 
 
It’s required to regard
Your abilities and
Build your own education using own thump
From the childhood you start,
Living further you expand,
And in consequence of this way you will get a champ.
 
 
Education is to lead
That a man to be indeed
A freethinker and have critical analysis.
That with strong and fair creed
To be able to succeed
And discern the truth, the lying in the name of Peace.
 
 
In addition to free will
Ought to train a useful skill
To look at the situation in the aggregate.
People must be taught to feel
And apply in life with zeal
A self-study basic method for creating fate.
 
 
Like so you come out at
Such essential level that
Fills your being with a permanent enlightenment.
This way doesn’t drive you mad
Because you do only what
Really fills you with a great sense of empowerment.
 

When You Are Different From Others

 
You are physically weaker,
You don’t have a stable health,
You are not a business thinker
And your money’s not a wealth,
 
 
And as a result you don’t live
As you wish or as those who
Are around: they are sportive,
Do such things which you can’t do,
 
 
And you aren’t a good-looker…
How to live? What’s to be done?
Don’t turn into a fact-cooker —
Do not hide and do not run.
 
 
Realize that you were born too
On this Planet as the rest,
You are not a thief and don’t do
Something awful, bulging chest.
 
 
And you aren’t a deceiver,
Not a killer, not a snitch —
So, you are a decent liver
Have the right to live and reach
 
 
Own goals on the currents
Where you’re going to succeed
As allows your health and talents
With persistency and heed.
 
 
And accept the situation
Which is ’round you today,
Start to get gratification
From what you have on your way.
 
 
And improve your moral standards:
Self-possession, honor, calm,
Self-sufficiency and fairness —
Build some kind of moral realm.
 
 
Let objectiveness and wisdom,
Conscience and scientific views
Alongside with inner freedom
Be more frequently in-use.
 
 
Try to grow to a role model,
Inspirational to be
Better and desist to quarrel
And “pay dividends to plea”.
 
 
Such activity and efforts
Can imbue your life with force,
Soothe the nerves, show the methods
How you should love and indorse
 
 
Own nature; and embark on
To appreciate the brain
And protect yourself in life from
Any factors causing strain.
 
 
Thanks to self-realization
People will respect you and
From this fact your self-conception
Will decisively rise up.
 
 
You can learn a foreign language
Or scientific disciplines,
To in prospect have the courage
And effective, useful means
To live free, without feelings
That you’re not like everyone:
Each of us has own meanings
And the deeds that should be done.
 
 
Heed the body life-resources —
You will not jump over it,
And there are the truthful courses
Which keep life and mental fit:
 
 
There are talents, skills, health-saving,
Logic, conscience, peace of wits,
Firmness, loyalty, true-telling,
Self-made thought, free will, sane needs.
 
 
When combine these ways together
In behavior you get
Own salutary treasure
By the name of self-respect.
 
 
Once and for all drop the practice
To feel shy and give offence
To yourself – you aim for justice
And deserve it surely, hence
 
 
Your available potential
Must be brought into effect,
So your being is essential
In this Planet, know this fact.
 

The Evolution of an Honest Man

 
He saw life around in black and white,
Neglected by neutral opinions,
He was set against the submissive sight,
Against all-encompassing ignorance.
 
 
Denying like smoke the developments
Which cut across with his experience,
He broke off relations with confidants
In any events was no difference.
 
 
And mocking, dishonoring, thought that
He is a true wise man and counted
That ‘round him there is some really mad
Plebs made-up of people unfounded.
 
 
The folks who had honestly pointed
At his mistakes he at once drove away,
Concurrently passing-by showings
And this iterated by day-to-day.
 
 
Essentially he was an honest man
And freedom was his fellow traveler,
He had a development-channeled brain,
And self-overvalued power.
 
 
But since he was truly a friend of sense
He at the same time kept warily,
He was growing up, raising consciousness,
In order to reason more cleverly.
 
 
Concisely, gently, more self-restrained
Began to present own attitude,
With various stubborn and vile unnamed
He left all debates not to taint the mood.
 
 
The cult-figures which he dreamed up before
Of his adoration have been deprived,
To hasty assessments he said “No more”,
Becoming a self-navigator light.
 
 
And his life with bright colors, love and strength
Was filled, he became like a man with tips
For those people who own youth well-spent
And have a good brain for creative treats,
 
 
On civilization who turned thumbs up,
Who art and aesthetics appreciate,
Who has chosen own creation path
And can a new concept initiate.
 

If Something Has Been Done Somewhere

 
If something has been done somewhere
You can try to repeat it too.
In order to your wish come true
You should be purely aware
That you devote sufficient care
And use the right tools and good clue
On what you’ve hazarded to do.
 

Ingredients for Choice

 
Blending honesty with folly
You will get the heroes,
Mixing wits with honor holy
You will live long years.
 
 
Common-sense and hot-blood temper
Won’t be together,
Sense of purpose and sloth as the
Leatherette and leather.
 
 
Both hypocrisy and meanness
Are profuse in lying,
Clear conscience with sedateness
Lead to pacifying.
 

Joy for Adults

 
Your childhood is lulled,
Your springtime is behind,
Now you have a life-part
Where joy you are to find.
 
 
You look for it among
The daily round fuss
To be content and strong,
And just more joyful, thus.
 

An Interesting or Needful Talent

 
An interesting or needful talent,
What for I have you in my way
It’s kind of sensitive and gallant
Responsibility I’d say.
 
 
It’s really great to write a poem:
Sometimes you have to work a lot,
At times you see you are to join
Your comprehension with the World.
 
 
Of course, this skill attracts attention
Of those who are around you,
But can remain without mention
And you cannot do something due.
 
 
And you write kind of with endeavor,
With meaning content for the folk,
Fall back on pioneering labor
And tried-and-true insights that work.
 
 
You want to give an education
And calm the mix-up in the course
To guide a human aspiration
To cogitate by own force,
 
 
To their stream of thoughts get clean
But step become a measured well,
So they can realize and mean
That rectitude is good for dwell.
 
 
And that they have an understanding
That we are not to live a lie
And should abandon all long-standing
Resentments to improve one’s life.
 
 
Let the satire show a curve line
Of bad ideas and a straight
One of predominance in life time
Good skill to think well in the Light.
 
 
That’s great when you by lyric line verse
Can calm a stormy whirl of mind
And when a good man as in his youth
The need path easily will find.
 
 
Most people do not pay attention
To this way treatments, having brushed
Off, they turn life into a session
Of fussy racing, being rushed.
 
 
And therefore it is important
When someone fixes in this fuss
His eyes on personal life content
To wonder what he wished and has?
 
 
Then he will see on own deals
And change the reason of his way,
Will fade his greed and former fears,
“Adieu!” to scurry he will say.
 
 
Someone the phobias will leave off
Having acknowledged their roots,
Or someone hubris will change with love
Having corrected own looks.
 
 
Someone will grasp that a bad break,
Some ailments are the result
Of own negative view and fake
Which do without sense of fault.
 
 
Some person will review his notion,
Bad things he’ll take as a due spur,
The wounds in lifestyles motion
Commence to heal and he will soar.
 
 
Then worth of life will be awaken
And having set a winner up
My poems won’t be forsaken
By one who has become a hub.
 
 
For such recoveries session,
For the restore a thirst to live
I write by self-versification
And recommend don’t ever drift
 
 
With someone else’s thoughts crowd,
Try always using own wit,
Look at life wider to be proud
Of honor, keeping conscience neat.
 
 
Live now, appreciate that you may
Create and develop your lot,
You can help someone to change his way
And start enjoying what is got.
 
 
Poetic Lyre, my fair lady,
This precious gift you’ve granted me,
To be your friend I’m always ready,
So let the World my poems see.
 

I Write Anew

 
I write anew with peaceful inspiration,
Found myself and covered with love,
With fair thoughts and clear destination
I use in life the talent that I have.
 
 
My pathway through the host of searches
With rush allure has done a quaint twist
The Ariadne’s thread observing in my sources
I did my tack ship for the living feast.
 
 
Beginning my new way to Freedom
I promise to be fine and fun,
Success and Peace let be in my come Wisdom,
I’ll reach my goals, I know it and I can!
 

A Poems Writing Process

 
It’s challenging to write a poem
In days when I’m stewed by fret
And this sense tries to drive me mad
By tense anxiety and boredom.
 
 
I feel like kind of good thoughts fall on
And I perceive that I can write
But there is no due rhyme right
Or there’s the one that shall be thrown.
 
 
At times I sit in front the lap top
Immersed in thoughts of my next verse
And having called my mental force
I try to make a proper note.
 
 
And such pass some days of a poet
In contemplating of the core,
In the quest of a cherished door,
Oh, Life, I love you for this point
And I beg you: let me live more!
 

To Poet-Populist

 
No talent – do not rack the lyre,
Do not insult it with your rhymes,
To public glory you aspire
Akin to Hellenist satire
You’re up to fistful of some dimes.
 
 
Banality with nonsense rhyming
To the rejoicing of the crowd,
This way you do your own climbing
To tickle vanity aloud.
 
 
You are afraid to stand for conscience,
To say the truth to our world,
The truth to you is like emotions
That you leave out in the cold.
 
 
You aren’t pressured by vainglory
The wrap of lie suits well to you,
As a result you aren’t sorry
About what you did and do.
 
 
You are assuredly in favor
Among the same as you are now —
The slippery and shameless rabble
Reasoning just in terms of “Wow!”
 
 
As to those people who adore
The truth and have a beauty sense,
The word of honor value more,
Than the abundant words’ expense,
 
 
Who know the cost of intellection
And own honor cherish well,
Who treasure love and dedication —
They take you as a jingle bell.
 
 
The populism that you squander
Does not exert influence on
Such people as they really ponder
Over the way of thinking, wonder
How own mindset to adorn.
 
 
You huff and puff – it is no matter —
You won’t be a boss of thoughts —
Although incessantly you chatter
Or scrambling brains conceal the roads.
 
 
Your creeds are drab, perverse and shabby,
You have a tunnel vision way
You lust for glory, fame and money
But morally you are a stray.
 
 
You didn’t love, don’t know this feeling —
Your instincts aren’t love at all,
An Age of Man is not for dealing
And craving for a vain goal.
 
 
You are avoided by the humans
Whose feelings are in essence clean,
Your contingent has lacks of prudence
Not but you have your henchmen-team.
 
 
You, as a rule, play up to flatness
And vanity, inflate yourself,
You lead your fan-group to the darkness
Failing to realize its breadth.
 
 
You can ignore my words sound —
Some others have a weight to you,
But if you want to turn around
Your rhymes vector and compound
In all sincerity, to do
 
 
The good, enlightenment and loving
For the mankind progress growth,
Genetic due potential learning
That has been given from the birth.
 
 
It means that you’ll begin to wake up,
Moving so to a level new,
And do not want to take a step back
And prove yourself a friend of Truth.
 

The Branches of Lilac

 
Through the branches of lilac I look at the sky —
And inner-self fills with serenity,
Retreat current doubts, to the present “why”
Come answers with guidance and clarity.
 

She

 
The chanting of a woman’s beauty
Is easy for a poet wit
And, neatly tempting, to succeed,
Inventing words in poems fruity.
 
 
But when you choose the way of freedom,
Good sense and fairness outreach,
You love the light, but treacle speech
For you is totally forbidden.
 
 
You read with own conscience-measure
The men, events around you:
What is and how, and who is who
You feel by own light of nature.
 
 
And having left the nervous rattle,
Hypocrisy and false pretense,
Delimiting all “no” and “yes”,
You guard yourself from any battle.
 
 
You needn’t by glorification
And frisky boldness to attract
The maidens’ mind who can offhand
Be yours without cogitation.
 
 
This World contains the evil, goodness,
We are the part of it as well,
And so you have ceased to rebel
In order your way kept with prudence.
 
 
This World accepting as a whole,
In your cognition you advanced,
The past abandoned in the past
And set a calmness as a soul
 
 
Of personal creative being
Where you rejoice in life non-stop,
And dressed the mind with feelings up
To elevate your way of living.
 
 
And one who was a Fidus Achates[7]7
  Fidus Achates [ˈfîdəs ˈakidz] – (lat.) a faithful friend.


[Закрыть]
With own tenderness and warmth
Will keep alive amour and troth
And give the strength to gain the targets.
 
 
You both aspire to creation,
Being together, she and you
Will reap the fruits of love and truth,
And own dreams implementation.
 

Behind The Pharmacy Show Window

 
Behind the pharmacy show window
Among the mixtures, oils, pills
A bright young lady’s pretty figure
Has graced this composition with:
 
 
Aesthetic make-up, proud beauty
Of movements which adorn her place,
Good education level duty
And with Italian traits face.
 
 
Her motions of the body present
The level of success, but her
Appearance displays a pleasant
Role model life not in the herd.
 
 
If on the serious position
She labors properly, and thus
An intellectual way vision
Her fine and noble image adds.
 
 
And she alike a ray of light shines,
Illuminating all around,
So, let her go by only straight lines
And meet a friendship and love sound.
 

About Xi Jumping and Kim Jong-un Meeting

 
Two Yellow Dragons met in a big tower
To show to the World their dead set and power,
 
 
When they had a meeting
The World was awaiting
Will it be beaten
Or will save its setting?
 
 
Whether the strength is enough to the prudence
And a good sense will come out on top?
For sure we need exercise an assurance
And signal that modern positions are strong.
 
 
Modern intention in modern relation
To life of the human and life overall;
Human rights, freedom are truly essential
To keep our Planet in store, first of all.
 

To My Future Wife

 
My dear, you’re a pretty woman,
My dear, you’re a noble mom,
Today you are a house Stuurman
Who bravely should avoid a storm.
 
 
To feel constraint is never mind
Let’s concentrate on what you need,
Look for your true way and will find
When you go by the fair deed.
 

Every Day Begets a Fiesta

 
Every day begets a fiesta
When you with a sober mind
Focus on a key-note gesture,
Set the negative aside.
 
 
Love yourself for self-perfecting,
For your own way and reach,
Save your life-time, don’t be waiting
And articulate your speech.
 
 
Guide yourself to the achievement,
Being always spick-and-span,
Sitting tight and stay determined
To accept or slap a ban.
 
 
Firmly picturing the targets,
Seeking the solution means,
You’ll get the desired harvest
Of the long-expected wins.
 

Self-evolution

 
Your life is one, you do it real,
Do not believe in mythic things,
Don’t waste yourself on carnal deals,
Do work that the evolving brings.
 
 
Your own evolution doings
Will harmonize your thoughts with life
And will be helpful for undoing
The artificial values’ gyve.
 
 
You by yourself create your living —
If you don’t want to be a slave —
Self-evolution with freethinking
Can grace your life, improve and save.
 

Change Your Tune

 
If your reality dislikes you,
Stands as a lump in your throat
Change this as starkly as you can do
So as your mindset power prompts.
 
 
Don’t be afraid to make the option,
Respect and reverence yourself,
Say “thanks a lot” to own motion
That you don’t want to be a serf,
 
 
That you deny some shadow-living
Of men who with the help of brain
Make own way of human being
Which will become the light of fame.
 
 
But the cult-figure imitation
There is the way of underdog —
You can be missed in this World session
Or will be merged in daily bog.
 
 
Advance, try out and aspire,
The prime-time’s now, don’t be adrift,
Become a Special one, get higher
And put your life on the upshift!
 

Pieces of Advice

 
When the entire situation
Is undiscovered by you —
Don’t judge without exploration,
No rush with any actions, too.
 
 
Esteem your own disposition:
What do you have, what can you lose?
Make a priority decision
And open inner mental sluice.
 
 
Don’t think a long while, have no doubt,
Lest that run out of your zeal,
Your fears must be figured out
By your mindset and your will.
 
 
When you have to make some decision,
When you don’t know what’s to be done —
Do as suggests your conscience vision —
More commonly it brings some fun.
 
 
So, underrating, overrating,
Shortcoming, poor awareness and
Excitement serve as disconnecting
Between desire and “in hand”.
 

Where can I find you?

 
Where can I find you, my true love-mate,
A charming lady of my dreams,
Whose eyewink as a healing means
Would be the fondness of my fate!
Where will it be?
 
 
When will we meet to be together,
A pretty nocturne girl of mine,
Whose image from my best springtime
Has been received by me forever!
Whenever, Miss?
 
 
How long to wait, my Muse of Lyre,
Our impassioned rendezvous,
Where would be only I and you
To jointly whet a hot desire!
How long to wait?
 
 
And how much more I’ve got to learn
The fair-minded vital facts,
To feel the warmth and loving hugs
Of the one who for me was born!
Whenever, where?
 

Lyrist + Techie = the Result

 
Lyrist:
I’m not a techie, so to say,
It’s not the matter for dismay,
To set at naught my living route
That really ought to carry through!
It’s not for me the calculations,
The building formulas array,
I need my lyre inspiration —
Just so I feel my destination,
That’s where I see my own way!
 
 
Techie:
But I don’t see the real use of
Humanitarian mindset,
I need some strict scientific due stuff
With the right structure to per cent.
With you, my dear Grace of science!
With you, Numeric wizard, too!
I’ll pass my pathway with the Truth
Without any sonnet rhymes.
 
 
The Result:
So, everyone to his taste, ever,
But this taste modifies together
With knowing of essential things
And with intent to give a battle
To prejudices and daft mettle —
To all that handicaps to think.
 
 
Explore the oeuvre of freethinkers:
La Rochefoucauld, Voltaire, Holbach
Astronomy and physics leaders,
Composers: Mozart, Wagner, Bach.
Set store by moral poets’ poems
Who honestly and truly tell
About crucial, vital moments,
For instance, Pushkin, Swift, the moderns
Who the Enlightenment propel.
 
 
We have to grasp that different spheres
Are a sought-for, organic whole,
This fact will spread the real means
Conducive to the Thriving World.
 

A New Man

 
He is a wonderful truth-finder,
He is an active forward man,
He is the right and left hands puncher
And an incisive gentleman.
In spite of epoch and its motions,
In spite of worthless men around
He didn’t break his own conscience,
Did not become a fallen down.
He’s never nervous, doesn’t shout
And has a brave, straightforward look
Because his way is really out
Of any blots, he can be proud
Of own honor which he took.
He’s overtopped the moneymaking
With the ideal’s diadem,
He is a friend of all awaking —
He is a guiding line for them.
He isn’t listened with the crowd,
The “princes” brush aside as well —
They swear and drudge or screw around
In contemplation of the wealth.
He isn’t left by the detractors
Who called “the toffs” (in quotes of course) —
They didn’t come to know the matters
Of evolutionary growth.
Their own crooked, shameless temper
(The mental deviation proof)
They splurge and as some kitschy mummers
Envelop with a lie the Truth.
But when Amour and Nous Lyre
Will enter the tutoring time,
True moral standards will be higher,
The dark will pass but science will shine.
Then to be quite like he’s in action,
In image, in life way, in thought
Will be the rule and the direction
Of self-development abroad.
The science with own noble glory,
True moral standard with high claim
Together will build some new story
Of an anthropic modern name.
But he will carry on as usual —
To be the sunshine for oneself
It isn’t new, let be the fusion
Of love and concord in his breath!
