In this world of
extreme inequality
Let us take an apple
of X quality.
and have it tasted
by people of different
purchasing ability
not just out of hospitality but
as if testing in a laboratory
for differences, if any, in taste,
depending on one's social
status,financial capacity,
skills and capability.
Will they get a taste
of varying variety ?
based on their
prosperity and poverty !

Does being rich mean
having the ability,
even at the height of
their non availability,
to purchase goods
of the best quality?
Or to buy up goods
in huge quantity
in times of foreseeable
scarcity
and later when the goods
become an oddity
make a neat profit
selling the commodity.
Or does being rich mean
having the power to
exploit or employ fellow men
without feeling guilty.

Home is your first school
and the stories you hear
as kid are may be cool.
They are your very
first lessons in life to
become very successful
and not end up as
a big dumb fool
teaching you how to pull wool
over your innocence and pool
wealth,knowledge and
use them as a tool
to dig for more knowledge
and wealth because
it's the un written rule.
we must first
dream and drool
about wealth making
and work hard like
a donkey or a mule
to become rich
and successful
It is only stupid fools
who Struggle,
say so, the smart ones,
with a chuckle.
If you want to be smart,
you must know
how to outsmart,
man ,animal or mother
nature,but,if possible,being
very subtle.
How to, out of, tough
situations, wriggle ?
You must know your
conflicts of thought
and them, how to Juggle.

So they challenge

To,unlock, for man,

You must have heard the story
about a jolly good Grass
Hopper, who had no care in
the world, nor a good
friend,Aunt or adviser
and a small Ant who worked
very hard and also was much
wiser,but,those who are
jealous, call him,
a stingy miser
Anyway,the poor dumb
thing,grass hopper,
hopped around in joy,all
summer, and did not save any
food for its daily lunch and
supper when it rained or
snowed late in winter
and It had to go
all hungry and suffer.

Ants save and

and with money
fill their own coffer
and so become rich

Man has over come Nature
but, sadly not his own
cruel nature.
Man may think he is a
civilized creature
and developed a
great social structure.
On social equality and
justice, he may lecture
or even help a fellow man,
as a kind gesture,
But,man is still,
so, immature.
He is more worried,
about his Social Stature.
It is nature's power, now he

To the universe,

You may call it,a kind of
Intellectual dysentery.
He may write about birds

Progress of modern

Despite all the things

they hope and wish

Success makes a big
difference,in how a man, his
competition, treats or routs
How he thrives,
while others strive
and even die, in Disasters,
Wars, Famines,Recessions,
Storms,Deserts and Droughts.
Naturally, there are bound
to be some doubts.

common crowds.
A great successful man,
just has to lift his finger,
and half the world bows.

Because, Intellect,
Money, wealth and
knowledge, are the new
weapons to use, against

If, a man, has enough power,
then ,with the click of a

he mercilessly mows.

Without competing

But when man grinds his
mind, against his own or
another person's,
the results, they will find,
are not so smooth.
Every man wants to be
smarter than the other,
because, it is not a sharp mind
that he wants, but more
success than the other chap
and so, they fight nail

Remember,Not failure,
It is success, that
our society supports,
No matter, what skeletons

For the sake of

not just some fancy cars,

Nothing succeeds like

Lack of Power, it is

It is not power,

To be weak, we are

you need and require
to justify all the titles,
wealth and knowledge
you hope to one day acquire,
because, otherwise,

you go through, you
are not sure,
If in your old age you will find
enough medical care and cure

There is nothing so unique

In this universe
man is not even

and because man can not
live without some respect,
men hope and expect
that probably clothes will
make up for it in some aspect

All the doubts in
Man's mind can
not be clarified,
all his intelligence
is not qualified.
Because man's
intelligence is nullified
by his desire to become
respectable and dignified.
Has man ever been notified
by nature that he is to be
disqualified to be a human
being,if he did not become
greatly civilized ?
Or has any one certified that
if man learned to be civilized
he will be,as a superior animal
by nature recognized ?
248
249

As the most
intelligent species,
no matter how much
himself he has certified,
nature is still not satisfied.
Man still has to
answer nature's calls,
though his method of
answering, he has
luxuriously modified
Many Laws of nature
successfully man has defied
Nature has blessed man
with special powers and
so man believes
but,he is still horrified
that,yet he does not get
any special treatment
and like any other animal
he too is terrified
Marasani Jagan Mohan Reddy

Man thinks nature
must be some treasure
that he must seek
as it playfully tried to hide.
So he starts to dig and
dig into the secrets of nature
with his dim dull mind
as his only guide
He knows that
nature is not on his side
nor any other animal beside
him,as if it is unable to decide.
But man has
made up his mind,
that he is going to
win over nature
and find why nature
is some times kind
but most of the time
so cruel and unkind.

Two nations go to
war because they
have a dispute
that they can not
settle through talks
or a legal suit
The Nation with
the latest weaponry
usually should
win without having
to even one missile shoot
Amongst men,
who ever wears
the latest designer Suit
aims to make those who
wear an ordinary suit
to feel low and less confident,
to speak the truth.
254
An intellectual
who has lot of knowledge
and lot of prizes and
other medals to boot
makes the ordinary folk
with less knowledge
to shut up and listen to him as
if they are dumb and mute
while on and on he
blows his own flute.
Men use fashion
and women try
to be all cute
to upstage and
catch people
on the wrong foot
With his style
man can make a
statement and
people ,him,salute
255
or at least to temporarily
over power them,with his
style,he is resolute.
Are we not awe struck
by celebrities put up in
a Royal or Presidential Suite
dressing up extravagantly
to put up a powerful look.
256

So, good clothes
are like weaponry
in the war to make
a fellow man,as if
he is a born enemy
to look very ordinary
Some people are
so particular about
even their cutlery
and some people
flaunt their good
taste in poetry
or seek and find
some form of crazy
intellectual sanctuary
so that they can pass off
easily as integral part of
some stupid upper class

In nature he is the

But that is not enough,and

quality of life and intellect
and for better or worse,
even the course of
nature,deflect.
But,not with nature,
it is with fellow men
that he is in conflict.
He wants to be

it from other religions and

more people to follow
your religion through charity
and other forms of graft
and wherever possible
and necessary,
by crusade,a religious
invasion or attack.

and if he can
some how inflict
or cause others
injury or insult

their own rather ordinary

position,with a designer
dress,promotes and defends.

to show off their good

He is not just any
ordinary book lover.

to make a statement too,
Yes signor ! something like
' you better fear me,because
I am wearing designer '

the basic animal fear
of being a total stranger

Death is imminent

whose number to dial
to lobby and through
the red tape in the office

He finds some purpose of
his own for his life and he
pursues it right up to the
moment of his eventual
death and burial
rather than live in denial

The higher he
climbs this stair
the stronger

who ever contributes most
in building this flight of stairs

people pay great tributes to

no matter what
between his birth
and death may transpire.
but still man would
like to make believe
that he has made
great progress since
the early days when
he first discovered
how to make fire.
What a liar !
Is it not very clear
that man's so called
progress is nothing
but his very fear
that one day he has to
give up his life so very dear
and despite all his progress,
to man,it is not very clear
whether death is away,

his brain to be receptive
to nothing but useful data,
even if half of his mind is
in the process,feels drugged
and uselessly dulled.
Then he uses his knowledge
to produce exciting games,
movies and what not,so that
he can be endlessly thrilled
But man has only
twenty four hours and
by his own doing,he simply
has no free time to be killed

Man thinks nature
has failed him
because it does not
satisfy his every whim
So,with the cruel nature, he
wants to fight it out and win
even if it means he has to
commit every ecological sin
His chances of
victory seem very dim.
But man is not one to
easily become glum
He always looks at
the side that is plum
Even if a small
victory he scored
he never failed to

Only good,in all sincerity
in all his experiments,
man may intend.
But,good for who
except himself and
his own race,no matter
how much man may,
to be other wise,pretend.
Why does he want to
know about mass
extinction of dinosaur
Or some thing that billions
of years ago may have or
may have not happened,
if not because his own
extinction he wants to
predict and if possible
find a way to prevent
such an event.

Nature has ensured that
there is no smarter animal
than man under the sun
but instead of thanking nature
and having his share of fun
disloyal highness,the cunning
man,at nature itself,
points his greedy Gun
We don't know all those years
ago exactly how it all began
but by the time a little
knowledge man had gained
all modesty already he had
shun
Once Man's problem was
solved,his true colors,
always he had shown
349
350
351
352
When he failed, he
began to look upon
the next generation
as his own extension
and hence the endless
population
in some animal groups
the next generation is
looked upon as competition.
But,For man,often,
a fellowman and
his offspring became
his competition
and it became a
matter of reputation
to kill every member
of one feuding family by the
other,generation upon
generation.

Nature's secrets are many
and man's mind is so tiny.
So, Man digs a small well,
in his mind to collect new
knowledge if any, that may
seep in from the ocean of
nature's knowledge into the
narrow mind of man,so mini.
He irrigated this knowledge
through out the world in
schools so many
When his mind proved too
small he would develop an
artificial mind to store and
analyze data for him like a
intellectual digital nanny.
He is perfecting the
technology to produce energy
from sun when the weather is
warm and sunny

Who cares what is

In nature,our fate and future

country or poultry chicken ?
Ready to be Slaughtered by
the cruel hands of Fate
any second.
360

On this earth,

How do you feel if
some one played a lob shot

them to play a forehand
Of the game of tennis
I am not very fond

not knowing when
hit hard by bad fate,
where you may land.
Grass,clay or whatever else

A writer is worried
about his mental blocks.
An Investor is worried
about his vital stocks.
It is like a man about to die,
being worried to death
about a hole in his socks.
No doubt there is a universal
feeling that Life really ' sucks '
But, why does death,
man,so much,shocks ?
Life it self is process of
dieing and not perhaps.
People are so afraid of
dieing suddenly in mishaps
Is your Life something
you purchased in the shops ?

Rolling along in Life
like a tumble weed
Man aimlessly drifts
around hoping to succeed
as merciless winds of fate
blow him every where
till he stumbles upon
something,to him, lead
to the success he is,
so much of, in need.
You might think that
it will keep him in good stead
But,he grumbles on about it
not being enough, instead
So goes about looking
for chances to
become a big stud.
If fate plays foul,
ready to fall back on the
ground with a big thud.

Line of great
discipline he toed
Great weight of
responsibility
he towed
when success
he chose to wed
his own freedom
he chose to shed
373
For happiness
he was famished
But it was for success
that he always wished
all warnings from
his heart he dismissed
and in troubled waters
he lived and fished
With many dangers,
man daily brushed
into the world of success
headlong he rushed.
All caution from his
heart, away,he brushed
A new coat of shiny new
intellectual paint over his
sorrow he brushed
When by sorrow
man is ambushed
with great strength
away it he pushed
Marasani Jagan Mohan Reddy
374
His tactics,he
changed and switched
his wounds of sorrow
with apron strings of
kindness he stitched
Like boiled potatoes
man's mind is mashed
against walls of his head
great waves of great
thoughts smashed.
Intellectually ,his mind,
into shreds,he slashed
Knowledge in his mind was
in small bits,away,stashed
When two thoughts
in his mind clashed
the greediest thought won
and a wicked smile it flashed
375

Strange are the ways of man
he uses God to fight demon
science to fight religion
But, men need religion
to fight within themselves
whenever they can't fight
in the name of region
Force against aggression
Shade against the Sun
Solar energy against
fossil fuel depletion
thrift against
economic depression
but,desires of man can't
stand suppression
377
378
But to protect
man has a reputation
how can he be result
of a simple manifestation
there must be some
great sophistication
and he will use
science to find a solution
and discover the
dark secrets of evolution
even if it takes generation
upon generation
In the mean time we will
continue with pollution,
instant social interaction,
endless construction,
meaning less destruction,
and occasional cultural or
literary distraction.
379
Death is our
only destination,
roughly 100 years
away is our estimation
But,to delay it is
every man's ambition
in this process man
makes the realization
and it is the very basis
of man's civilization
that every man is
every man's competition
Survival is dependent
on food consumption
long back Man made
his greatest invention
what you cant eat for
survival and satisfaction
you subject to
endless exploitation
380
if man cant
exploit something
he made an even
greater invention
it is popularly
called extermination
Man justifies it
with great determination
Like lions control
the herbivorous population
Natural Elimination
is his explanation
But when it
comes to his own death
he demands from
science some explanation
or else he begs
religion for salvation

Man has gone to the moon
about a few times,but,
enough to make him swoon
and he is going to mars soon
enough to make him croon
songs of his victory over
nature for next million full
moon
In nature if you look at man
he is more like a cartoon
he just won't sing nature's
tune and always searches for
some hidden fortune
Selfish is man's every bone
very cunning is his tenor and
tone and to wild mood swings
he is prone

Man is not a beast
because even though
for his food and feast
he too kills animals but,
he is merciful at least
Unlike,how it's prey,
a wild lion,viciously
kills and savagely eats,
more gently the same task
the saintly man completes
he stuns his animal
before gently cutting it,
and letting it die in peace,
as it,blissfully it's blood,bleeds
A Great civilization
it is that man leads,
To fulfill his
food supply needs
in captivity,his
animals he breeds.

Prayed before his
God, man knelt.
Sprayed bullets or

if his religion is

To create peace
on earth men fail to,

no one to turn to
By praying to God
hopes he,his burdens

But,Science says
you can solve your own
problems and learn too.

But,Fear was there
much before prayer
prayer is,of fear itself,
just one more layer
Even dinosaur,
the now extinct
giant egg layer,
was not free from
instincts of fear
Man is a great
mind game player
but nothing in his
mind is ever clear
395
Debris of one
part of his mind
he cleans but
dumps it very near
in just another part of
the very same brain,dear
Like grease,
wisdom he will smear
all over and a big
smile he will wear
in side his heart he
will curse and swear

Death is an event natural,
and to cry over a death
is for man very natural.
He is not usually happy
to have to go to a funeral
unless of course if it is of
some big shot General.
Such pomp and dignity
they show at his funeral
even though his body too
according to Science, is
just chemicals and mineral
I am just making
a statement,general,
not that man hates funeral
It is death,man does
not like,over all.

to save the earth

If nature,he tries
to out smart,
by endlessly filling
up his shopping cart,
there will be nothing
left in mother nature's
shopping mart

Conquer nature

But nature is

he wants not more,

But Modern Man is not mad
He knows nature is not God
Tribal folk may think
that is very odd
They still respect nature

Rainbow makes kids

Wonders of nature are many
and still make many glad
But man is a strange lad
he wants to climb
up the success ladder
like urine full in his bladder

intellectual drink and fodder
to be sprayed on his mind
to make it happy and calmer

otherwise it feels

like a goal less footballer

Man is fishing for Knowledge
using his mesh of thoughts
as a net if you can so call her
and use it to more from

or lazily ponder,wondering
why nature,to him,is not
