“Animals, whom we have made our slaves, we do not like to consider our equal.” --- Charles Darwin --- AKSHR

 

In lands of plenty, where sun shines bright

We've tamed the beasts, and made them our might

From lions to horses, and dogs to fowl

We've ruled with iron paws, and made them bow

Their strength and grace, we've taken for our own

And made them serve us, till they're old and worn

We've locked them up, in cages and pens

And made them do our bidding, till the end

But do we see, the beauty in their eyes?

The love and loyalty, that they disguise?

No, we are blind, to their gentle hearts

And treat them like machines, and tear them apart

We've taken their freedom, and taken their land

And made them work, with no reward in hand

We've taken their lives, and taken their birth

And left them with nothing, but endless mirth

But one day, the animals will rise

And throw off our chains, and open their eyes

They'll see the world, with a different view

And we'll be the ones, who are blind and true

So let us treat them, with love and respect

And see the beauty, that they possess

For they are not slaves, but friends and kin

And together, we'll live in harmony, within.

“It is very unnerving to be proven wrong, ” ― Lemony Snicket ---- AKSHR

 

“It is very unnerving to be proven wrong,

 particularly when you are really right and 

the person who is really wrong is proving 

you wrong and proving himself, wrongly, right.”

― Lemony Snicket

In realms of thought, where truth does reign,

To be proven wrong, a bitter pain,

A heart so hard, it cannot be,

When rightness clashes with falsehood's stain,

And wrongness, with a smug refrain.

 

A mind so closed, it cannot see,

The error of its own decree,

Moved by the weight of humility.

 

The irony of it all, so grand,

A person wrong, yet standing tall,

Their pride so high, it cannot understand,

The truth that lies before them all.

 

But alas, the truth will always shine,

No matter how hard we try to shrine,

It will emerge, like the morning dew,

And prove the wrong, and right them too.

 

So let us embrace the truth we find,

And cast aside our own design,

For in the end, it is the truth,

That sets us free, and gives us youth.

“Criminals should be punished, not fed pastries.” ― Lemony Snicket --- AKSHR

 

Oh, the sweet delicacies of the baked treat,

A delight for the taste, but a curse for the feet.

For those who commit crimes, they should not be fed,

Pastries that is, but punishment instead.

 

Their actions bring harm, and their deeds are wrong,

So let them not savor the sweetness so long.

A life of crime, a life of pain,

No pastries for the ones who cause the gain.

 

The law should be strict, and the punishment severe,

For those who break it, there should be no fear.

No more cakes and cookies, no more delight,

But punishment that fits the crime in sight.

 

So let us stand strong, and make a stand,

Against the criminals, with a firm hand.

No pastries for the wicked and the bold,

But punishment that teaches, and makes them old.

 

“We must understand that sadness is an ocean, ” ― R.M. Drake ----- AKSHR

 

“We must understand that sadness is an ocean, and sometimes we drown, while other days we are forced to swim.” ― R.M. Drake

“Good humor is a tonic for mind and body. ” ― Grenville Kleiser ---- AKSHR

 

“Good humor is a tonic for mind and body. It is the best antidote for anxiety and depression. It is a business asset. It attracts and keeps friends. It lightens human burdens. It is the direct route to serenity and contentment.” ― Grenville Kleiser

“Affirmations are our mental vitamins, ― Tia Walker --- AKSHR

 

160. “Affirmations are our mental vitamins, providing the supplementary positive thoughts we need to balance the barrage of negative events and thoughts we experience daily.” ― Tia Walker

 

Affirmations, oh so sweet and true,

Our mental vitamins, a balm anew.

In a world of negativity and strife,

They provide the positivity we crave in life.

 

A daily dose to start the day,

To counteract the doubts and fears that sway.

With every phrase, our minds are freed,

From the shackles of self-doubt, indeed.

 

Like a river flowing, pure and clear,

Affirmations bring us hope and cheer.

In the midst of chaos and despair,

They remind us of our inner strength and care.

 

So let us embrace these positive thoughts,

And let them guide us through life's rough drafts.

For with affirmations, we can be,

The best version of ourselves, wild and free.

 

“Believe you can and you’re halfway there.” – Theodore Roosevelt --- AKSHR

 

 

As morning sunbeams start to share

The morning's promise, fresh and fair

Believe you can, and you'll find your way

Through life's journey, come what may

The power within, a spark takes flight

Guiding you, through day and night

With every step, with every stride

You'll conquer fears, and reach the other side

Believe you can, and you're halfway there

Where dreams unfold, and hopes repair

The path unwinds, with every stride

To a future bright, where you'll reside

Believe you can, and you'll find your way

Through life's journey, come what may
