A word of kindness is seldom spoken in vain, while witty sayings are as easily lost as the pearls slipping from a broken string.

Sayings
I kept all these sayings to my hear t because,
I want my people too to enjoy a little bit as well;
And like the householder and the labourers around my town!
But to bring out your sayings to me my love when,
It matters most to put you in the corner and to love you.

Maybe I Know
Maybe I know that shes been a-cheating
Maybe I know that shes been untrue
But what can I do
I hear them whispering as I walk by
Shes gonna break his heart and make him cry
I know its me theyre talking about
I bet they all think Ill never find out
But maybe I know that shes been a-cheating
Maybe I know that shes been untrue
But what can I do
Deep down inside she loves me
Though she may run around
I know someday shell love me
Someday shell settle down
But maybe I know that shes been a-cheating
Maybe I know that shes been untrue
But what can I do
Oh, maybe I know that shes been a-cheating
Maybe I know that shes been untrue
But what can I do

I Will Never Be Untrue
I will never be untrue
Do anything you would want me to
Never stay out drinking
no later than two
(two thirty...)
I will never treat you mean
and I won't cause no kind of scene
Tell you all the people
all the places I have been
I will always treat you kind
try to give you peace of mind
Only you tell me that you love me
one more time
Now darling
please don't be sad
Don't run off like that
when you get mad
Cause if you do
you gonna lose
the best friend
that you ever had
That's no lie...
I will never be untrue
Do everything you want me to do
Bring all my loving all my money
bring it all home to you
I never be untrue

A man's women folk, whatever their outward show of respect for his merit and authority, always regard him secretly as an ass, and with something akin to pity. His most gaudy sayings and doings seldom deceive them they see the actual man within, and know him for a shallow and pathetic fellow. In this fact, perhaps, lies one of the best proofs of feminine intelligence, or, as the common phrase makes it, feminine intuition.

The Shape Of Love
Heres the best I can do
So far away from you
As the ocean holds the sky
So I try to hold your eyes
And I know the world is turning
I know its yesterday for you
But the shape were giving love
Could never be untrue
Choose the way you want to be
That doesnt mean him or me
Love is so much more that flesh
How to hurt and how to kiss
And I know the world is turning
I know its yesterday for you
But the shape were giving love
Could never be untrue
I wish Id known you when
I could have made a change
I would have been a friend
I would have given you anything
As you touch near your heart
Are we really far apart?
Yes I know distance kills
But it cant fight loves will
And I know the world is turning
I know its yesterday for you
But the shape were giving love
Could never be untrue
And we know the world is turning
We know that yesterday is due.
But this shape were giving love
Can never be untrue.
This shape can never be untrue.

When I say something untrue on the air, I mean for it to be transparently untrue. I assume people know when I'm just saying something for effect. Or to be funny.
Seldom, very seldom, does complete truth belong to any human disclosure; seldom can it happen that something is not a little disguised, or a little mistaken.

The Faithless Shepherdess
WHILE that the sun with his beams hot
Scorched the fruits in vale and mountain,
Philon the shepherd, late forgot,
Sitting beside a crystal fountain
In shadow of a green oak tree,
Upon his pipe this song play'd he:
Adieu, Love, adieu, Love, untrue Love!
Untrue Love, untrue Love, adieu, Love!
Your mind is light, soon lost for new love.
So long as I was in your sight
I was your heart, your soul, your treasure;
And evermore you sobb'd and sigh'd
Burning in flames beyond all measure:
--Three days endured your love to me,
And it was lost in other three!
Adieu, Love, adieu, Love, untrue Love!
Untrue Love, untrue Love, adieu, Love!
Your mind is light, soon lost for new love.
Another shepherd you did see,
To whom your heart was soon enchained;
Full soon your love was leapt from me,
Full soon my place he had obtained.
Soon came a third your love to win,
And we were out and he was in.
Adieu, Love, adieu, Love, untrue Love!
Untrue Love, untrue Love, adieu, Love!
Your mind is light, soon lost for new love.
Sure you have made me passing glad
That you your mind so soon removed,
Before that I the leisure had
To choose you for my best beloved:
For all my love was pass'd and done
Two days before it was begun.
Adieu, Love, adieu, Love, untrue Love!
Untrue Love, untrue Love, adieu, Love!
Your mind is light, soon lost for new love.
CRABB'D Age and Youth
Cannot live together:
Youth is full of pleasance,
Age is full of care;
Youth like summer morn,
Age like winter weather;
Youth like summer brave,
Age like winter bare.
Youth is full of sport,
Age's breath is short;
Youth is nimble, Age is lame;
Youth is hot and bold,
Age is weak and cold;
Youth is wild, and Age is tame.
Age, I do abhor thee;
Youth, I do adore thee;
O, my Love, my Love is young!
Age, I do defy thee:
O, sweet shepherd, hie thee!
For methinks thou stay'st too long.

An Unique Answer
Sayings and assets connive together,
Basing our tasks on the absorber.
Upstairs an unique answer is awaiting,
My accumulation of debt is actuating.
Faster than the doctor, your car lands,
Administrating a new job with brands.
Down in the scrubland, their grass
Partakes a ritual made of the brass.
Together we remake a roll of paper,
The system of thinking called a philosopher.
Pictures of thought astound his head,
But poems and sayings were ready to be bled.

Whenever we can trace back a religion to its first beginnings, we find it free from many of the blemishes that offend us in its later phases. The founders of the ancient religions of the world, as far as we can judge, were minds of a high stamp, full of noble aspirations, yearning for truth, devoted to the welfare of their neighbors, examples of purity and unselfishness. What they desired to found upon earth was but seldom realized, and their sayings, if preserved in their original form, offer often a strange contrast to the practice of those who profess to be their disciples.

Dark Sayings
A tree in the midst of the earth,
Wet with the due of heaven;
Like the potter's clay,
I have my mind as a poet to reachout to you.
A meesage to the Queen Mother of Lewis' Isle,
rabbah is a stable for camels;
I have my mind to share with you.
Dark sayings,
Dark words,
Hidden works of art for many to learn;
Listen oh heaven and earth.
Of lambs, rams and goats;
Of lambs, bulls and camels;
Like the fingers of man's hand that wrote.
Of the writings on the wall,
Dark sayings to the Queen Mother;
Excellent in splendor,
Of wordly luxuries to the dark sayings.
A message to the Merchants of Tarshish,
To the Great Sea at last with love;
Life is like unwalled cities where,
The fowls of the air do learn from.
Dark sayings,
The image's head of fine gold;
I am on the bank of the River Niger.
To come in like a storm in the valley of travellers,
Of creeping things upon the earth;
I am with the stick of Ephraim to,
The sea that feeds us.
Of the dark sayings,
Like men upon the face of the earth;
Of women like a cloud to cover the land.
Let the wind blow always,
Let my mind learn always,
The writings on the wall matters to me;
Like the opening of the Summer.
Oh waters of Meribah Kadesh,
The image's head of fine gold;
Breasts and arms of silver with,
The feet of iron and clay to learn from.

Simple, Seldom and Sad
Simple, seldom and sad
We are;
Alone on the Halibut Hills
Afar,
With sweet mad Expressions
Of old
Strangely beautiful
So we're told
By the Creatures that Move
In the sky
And Die
On the night when the Dead Trees
Prance and Cry.
Sensitive, seldom and sad -
Sensitive, seldom and sad -
Simple, seldom and sad
Are we
When we take our path
To the purple sea -
With mad, sweet Expressions
Of Yore,
Strangely beautiful,
Yea, and More
On the Night of all Nights
When the sky
Streams by
In rags, while the Dead Trees
Prance and Cry,
sensitive, seldom and sad -
sensitive, seldom and sad.

What Democracy?
Is democracy a dream?
The human race aspires to
such things are seldom as they seem.
Although the people have a choice.
They seldom think their choices through
and so the wishes which they voice.
Can be ignored and flagrantly
by those who hold the power reins
which they acquired dishonestly.
The voting system is unfair.
Votes do not carry equal weight.
The major parties do not care.
They are content to wait their turn
To ride upon the gravy train
enjoying perks they do not earn.
If every vote was made to count
Then that would be democracy
Hold politicians to account
for promises they make then break.
Perhaps it’s time to rectify
the present system: Which would take.
a social revolution
to institute democracy.
Instead of the confusion.
The rule of many by the few
who claim they have the peoples vote
A statement patently untrue.
The vote I cast has no value
in this so called democracy
Its very sad but very true.

Acute Sayings
Among the many acute sayings of my heart
The hardest heads have combined to produce them;
Ridiculous sayings are polite, well-looking
And blind for the worlds and the lords of adventure.
The exhibition strays far more than kindness,
Modern mania inhibits us in mighty worries;
Suggested actions involve the stewards of work,
Like the heart and its belongings, a sacred lot.
Every solid and gas may react to see the days
And the nights conserve the whole of existence;
Not in this city will negative actions take there
The pride of a generation, so polluted and polite.

An Old Saying
It's all about one time
An old saying I used to hear
Do not take it in granted
The old sayings have lot to say
Be aware of your steps
Sometimes guides us to the light
Sometimes to the darkness of the nights
But they always take us somewhere else
So be aware
The old sayings are precious
The experiences of real lives
So keep them in your mind
My grandmother used to say
once you begin never ends
It begins with just one step
So try to think before taking every single step
The good road or the bad one
It all begins with first step
One step can guide your way to shattered caves
So be aware
Try following the lightness and it'll guide your steps to brightest path.

This Bridge
Today with a thought so concerned all the friendships
you had you lost you always burned
This bridge is weakening in its time
And no one cares about your broken life
Or its unwritten line
So unwrap your gift of sorrow
Retreat to your tired home
Burn a cigarette to its end
And rebuild your selfless throne
Someone tell me why our dreams always end up untrue
You put your faith in friends they just walk all over you
And once it's lost it's gone it still ends up untrue for you
So now with your voice pushed aside
All your anger and feelings and dreams they're left behind
You gotta try and listen up
Coz all your anger and feelings and dreams weren't enough
So just sit back rethink your loss
It's just a dream
And it has no cost
You gotta stand up
Once this time you're not just a voice
You walk a different line
Someone tell me why our dreams always end up untrue
You put your faith in friends they just walk all over you
And once it's lost it's gone it still ends up untrue for you (3x)
And seems so wrong
I followed you along
And when it's time for you to call
I leave you alone

Saying Sayings of Old
The same excuses come to mind
all the reason why 'we' can't, shouldn't or don't
It is so tiresome, because there is no solution to find
I find myself using the same quote
'It's wrong and she won't' These words fill up my head
weighing me down like a block of lead
my heart tells me there's no reason it can't be
my heart says there is no reason she can't be with me
my heart deceives me and leads me astray
opening my cage into a world i do not know....
everything around me so confusing....in a world thats so fey
the world around me seems caitiff and just a facade... a show
why does this torture have to be real
why is everything based on what 'I' feel?
I can't keep saying the same things and stay here to die
but to leave.... i would leave my heart and what am i then? ... i must stay
there must be a solution, but all reason is clouded
all shrouded
by these accursed sayings: 'we can't, shouldn't and don; t.... it's wrong! '
I will reject all those thoughts, yet doing so.... i lose my soul
whats worse to lose a soul or a heart? i have fallen deep in a hole
I must choose what to lose a song, ?
or hope, heart or soul? curse you sayings of old
curse you this lyric, o cry for help, curse you sayings OF OLD!
and yet..... i can't....

To a Friend
I ask but one thing of you, only one,
That always you will be my dream of you;
That never shall I wake to find untrue
All this I have believed and rested on,
Forever vanished, like a vision gone
Out into the night. Alas, how few
There are who strike in us a chord we knew
Existed, but so seldom heard its tone
We tremble at the half-forgotten sound.
The world is full of rude awakenings
And heaven-born castles shattered to the ground,
Yet still our human longing vainly clings
To a belief in beauty through all wrongs.
O stay your hand, and leave my heart its songs!
