Assume They Lie
Today...
With various masks worn,
To disguise and hide.
Assume people lie.
Even those first introduced.
Assume they lie.
Relieve yourself,
From listening to future excuses.
Until someone has won your trust.
With a thorough scrutiny,
Only time affords one they can safely give up.
Don't try to analyze someone first met.
Assume they lie.
Assume they disrespect.
Assume they gossip like all the rest.
Today...
With various masks worn,
To disguise and hide.
Assume people lie.
When meeting someone fresh upon the scene,
Assume they lie...
Until your honesty and dignity given,
Has not corrupted your willingness to trust.
Don't sit in denial with tears to cry.
Until that time has come,
And you are convinced...
You have met someone different,
Than those who have rushed away...
After crushing your trust.
Assume they lie.
Don't even try to wonder.

Vulnerabilities
Do not 'assume' I am not aware,
Of the nonsense you pass under my nose.
Or with your doing of it makes it okay.
My eyes and ears are never closed to your doings.
Underestimating with an undermining done,
From the comfort of your couch...
Does not mean you have the keys,
That have opened the door to my vulnerabilities.
Do not 'assume' I am not aware,
Or that I am not prepared...
To use the tools I've learned to entrap fools,
Believing my mind is out to lunch.
Do not 'assume' I am not a collector of fools,
To munch and crunch as a preference.
Nor should you perceive my tolerance level,
To be so high as to allow a sneak to weaken me.
Do not assume I use an approach,
That can be effectively encroached upon.
But I will say this...
Your attempts will teach us both a few lessons.

If you assume that it was a valid experiment, then its disintegration reveals a very substantial part of what has been found since then, including the fact that you can get heat generation at high temperature.

We Assume
We live in a world where we assume,
we assume stuff in our heads
that are of a different tune.
A different tune that the other person thinks,
because this person is living their own dream.
So it doesn't matter what you say or do
if you are not on the same page by answering it through.
So if you want to just assume,
you might as well go play with a child's balloon.
For it has a lot of hot air,
it doesn't matter if you even care.
So ask your questions, but look for reason why
for you are not the one who decides-
How a person should live their life.

Wisdom born of experience should tell us that war is obsolete. There may have been a time when war served as a negative good by preventing the spread and growth of an evil force... If we assume that life is worth living, if we assume that mankind has the right to survive, then we must find an alternative to war.

I Cannot Be...
i cannot be always the guardian angel
to your stupidity which like a female cow in heat
somehow escapes from the fence when i begin to take my much needed sleep.
when that cat in your hand escapes to eat the moon
i cannot always assume the body of the dog
for in my own weakness i assume the shadow of the mouse
sometimes i let you go and wish that you fall off from that cliff and die for my own
good.

Never never never
Never assume anything
Never take anything for granted
Never take things simplistically
As though
There is no reason
For every
Leaf that falls prematurely
A schoolboy who never wants to go to school again
A little girl who kills herself because of poverty
(all the while it was her father who raped her)
never assume that poor countries exist
because their leaders are corrupt
and all for that reason
the people too voted for them
the people too sold their votes
never assume that only one is at fault
the criminal has his own reasons too
the complainant the more
he will raise his fist and say there is injustice
but you are there for the scales
and you balance them and look at every word that is uttered
and leaves no stone unturned
the sharpness of the knife
the depth of the wounds
the amount of blood that is lost
the possible alibi
the hideous lie
the witnesses who do not blink
the bullet that is left
could be a gun and not a knife
could be the stranger not the wife
never never assume anything
you will be called upon to judge
let the innocent child in you arise
seeing new in everything that meets your eye
that tells your mind
and speak without fear
to honestly
tell that the emperor after all is wearing no new clothes.

Go Go Go
Raise your hands
Raise your hands high
Dont take a seat
Dont stand aside
This time
Dont assume anything
But go go go
I am a problem child
Ive been wild all my days
All my anger and my rage
My senses said it would lead me astray
I said go go go
Raise your hands
Raise your hands high
Dont take a seat
Dont stand aside
This time
Dont assume anything
This time
Dont assume anything
I said this time
Dont assume anything
One two three four
Jump jump jump so high
Watch me let you down
If I stumble I will stumble
If I fall I will fall
Try to hold it like rain in the river
But everything is getting bigger
Better this wont last forever
Touch me and fall
Yeah

Double Negative
Is a double negative always positive
I posit....N O...no
If we took all the negative things in the world
put them in a big pile
divided them
counted each side
would the result be even or odd
I don't know the answer to this but I assume(and you know what that makes us both) ....oh the hell with cliches
I assume that the answer would not be the answer for long
the way of the world is negatives are created
faster than positives even on slow days
such as this one....right here
Ok, maybe in math...but this is a poem
hmmmm....I wonder what double digression looks like
what about photography? ....I don't know
I am all digital now
anyway if a boink is negative......
what is a double boink?
in a double blind study where both participants were in fact blind
the boinker of the fist boink said to the boinker of the second boink
Mama said fist boinking would make us blind
and here we are part of a wonderful scientific exspearament
want some gum?

Consumed Within the Process
Consumed within the process
That process we call life.
Immuned? Not from this process.
It keeps the vision near yet uncompromised.
And far enough to become realized.
Consumed.
Within the process.
That process called life!
Don't assume...
This process,
Is a process you can't like!
Consumed.
Within the process.
That process called life!
Don't assume...

Consumed within the process.

It keeps the vision near yet uncompromised.
And far enough to become realized.
Closing its eyes only when it wishes,
To call itself out!
Consumed.
Within the process.
That process called life!
Don't assume...
This process,
Is a process you can't like!
Consumed.
Within the process.
That process called life!
Don't assume...
This process,
Is a process you can't like!
It keeps the vision in precision,
Until it's in 'all' sights.
Consumed.
Within the process.
That process called life!
Don't assume...
This process,
Is a process you can't like!
Consumed.

This process,
Is a process you can't like!
It keeps the vision in precision,
Until it's in 'all' sights.

Within the process.
Just consumed.
Within the process this process.

Within the process.
That process called life!
Don't assume...
This process,

Stereotyped! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
You say you don’t know me
Nah you don’t know me
All you know I am, is a lil sh*t on the streets
With my hood up, giving people beats
Yeah I’m part of that youth culture
“I was much better behaved when I was younger”
Yeah, you were perfect in your day
At least that’s what you portray
But then I live in a stereotypical country
I’m stereotyped as a teen bully
But I’m not gonna happy slap you
Cos me being a nasty sh*t, that’s untrue!
I’m part of that youth culture
But it don’t mean I’m gonna hurt ya
Yeah I’m a teenager
But I don’t have that bad behaviour
So don’t label me as a bad youngster
Jus cos I’m a teenager!
Cos I know that’s what you assume
So think before you presume

New Girl
'New Girl',
call 411,
she's here,
and she's being impressed,
by everyone.
Most girls are jealus.
Most boys just glare.
The 'New Girl',
is alone,
and has no one to talk with,
walk with,
share secrets with,
or have fun with.
The new girl,
is alone.
Let's talk,
let's walk,
lets share secrets with,
lets have fun.
No.
She's the ' New Girl '.
Let's make her feel welcomed,
by laughing,
stocking,
blocking her way,
let's make her get lost,
don't worry,
she'll find her way.
The ' New Girl '
is just a girl,
she's nothing more,
than a ' New Girl ',
nobody likes her,
nobody cares,
everyone just stares,
and the boys,
just glare.
She's the ' New Girl ',
we assume she's mean,
we assume she's naughty,
we assume she's clean.
We think she's snobby,
we think she's weird,
we think she's a nobody,
but that ' New Girl ',
was me.

Other Job Descriptions Dished
Whatever it is that you do,
In your pursuit to avoid obstacles...
Do not assume I am also seeking,
Confusion.
I am not!
Or that I should have the patience,
Whenever you have decided...
To dance to another tune,
As often as you wish!
That kind of patience none I've got.
Dealing with indecision,
And those with mixed emotions...
May be depictions of other job descriptions dished!
But I have no agreement made to keep with you,
I would be the one to settle for anything you do.
In fact,
Your latest oral contract that places me on call...
As a default to your nonsense,
I advise you never to me repeat it.
Assume from my mind it has been deleted.

Why are we here? I think many people assume, wrongly, that a company exists solely to make money. Money is an important part of a company's existence, if the company is any good. But a result is not a cause. We have to go deeper and find the real reason for our being.

You And This War
You are part of this war. You
pay taxes. You are not part of this
war. No one in charge cares what
you think. You are part of this
war. You go to work each day
and remain quiet on the subject.
You pave the path of least
resistance. You are not part of this
war. You watch images of it and
read words about it from a great
distance. You are part of this war.
You are one 200 millionths of this
nation. You are not part of this
war. You do not fight in it or
fight to stop it. You are
part of this war.

No One Cares
No one has tried to assess human nature
It is all the more important for our future
What are we going to give to our generation?
This is most likely to be burning question
History repeats important lesson
IT has some logic with the reason
Person can be tried for treason
But alas! What punishment for destruction
Nature was never destroyer
With love and peace messages as conveyor
What else does it seek and long?
Only with plain message that we owe and belong
We are part and parcel and can not escape
It is like crime on women of molestation and rape
We can’t curb the independent voice
It is holy commitment with promise
We can’t assume the role of destructor
This role is left to almighty as instructor
He may take the decision as what is to be done’
We can’t assume it as entity only one
We think of today and not for next day
This is considered as cheap and only way
Many countries may largely depend on natural wealth
But who bothers for the deterioration in health?
We are heading for natural disaster
It is approaching very near
We witness volcanoes emanating fire and smoke
This is warning and first of its stroke
Do not assume search operation
It has direct bearing and relation
More you preserve and are friendly
Less may be problems to feel it sadly
Let this be not governed by emotional flare ups
It is not like storm in tea cups
It is real warning of large consequences
We may have no option but to see from the fence
Deserts witness snowfall and peaks remain barren
This was not for a second but it is largely seen
There is complete change in environmental pattern
This is matter that adds to worry with concern

There Is A Vicariousness Lived
Sometimes when I awaken,
I wish my mind was not so investigative.
But I am too inquisitive,
To assume.
Those who sit and imagine their lives,
And others who are living theirs...
Seem to have so much time,
Not to experience life.
From their lips when in the exchange of gossip...
There is a vicariousness lived to then embellish...
Flowing nonstop to listening ears.
And when I hear this it becomes hard to detect...
What is real and what has been memorized,
From what has been spoken by another...
To then take out of context.
Delusional people can make real their fantasies.
Sometimes when I awaken,
I wish my mind was not so investgative.
But I am too inquisitive,
To assume.
