The conscious mind determines the actions, the unconscious mind determines the reactions; and the reactions are just as important as the actions.

What happens is fate
The happenings are not predetermined.
They are mere outcome of reactions
Of actions and counter actions produced
From the clashes of different interests.
What will happen to which kid is not known
For the children when they play in their yard.
Mother lets them play but owes no blame or fame
To what would happen to any one of them.

Lead Balloon
Kiss my ass! I said
And I threw my drink
Tequila trickling
Down his business suit
Must be the irish blood
Fight before you think
Turn it now
You cant cowtow
You cant undo it
Its his town
And that went down
Like a lead balloon
Lead lead lead lead balloon
He said sic her, rover
That went over
Like a lead balloon
Lead lead lead lead balloon
Lead balloon
An angry man is just an angry man
But an angry woman
Bitch!
I had to ask him for a helping hand
It came with the heart
Of a bonaparte
Of a frozen fish
Its his town
And that went down
Like a lead balloon
Lead lead lead lead balloon
He said sic her, rover
That went over
Like a lead balloon
Lead lead lead lead balloon
Lead balloon
Lead balloon, lead lead lead lead balloon
Lead balloon, lead lead lead lead balloon
Lead balloon, lead lead lead lead balloon
Lead balloon
Its his town
And that went down
Like a lead balloon
Lead lead lead balloon
He said sic her, rover
That went over
Like a lead balloon
Lead lead lead lead balloon
Lead balloon
Lead lead lead lead balloon
Lead lead lead lead balloon
Lead balloon

Dont Ask Me
I got ideas but I dont know it all
And when I speak you know my voice is small
And when Im walking down the street
I never smile at folks I meet
Cause I know they wont smile at me
Now ask yourself why this should be
But if you want the answers
If you want the answers
Dont ask me
If you want the answers
If you want the answers
Dont ask me
I got feelings but they dont count for much
And I shake my fist but I got no power as such
But if I tell you what I see
Dont throw my words right back at me
Cause I cant shout and I cant moan
Cause I got problems of my own
But if you want the answers
If you want the answers
Dont ask me
If you want the answers
If you want the answers
Dont ask me
Someday soon I gotta learn enough
To justify my actions
Until then I want you all to try
To share my gut reactions
Gut reactions
But if you want the answers
If you want the answers
Dont ask me
If you want the answers
If you want the answers
Dont ask me

All in mind
Insult and insulted
It is all in the mind.
The consequences of the actions
And its reactions and the intentions
Behind be taken in to account
And so many things it contain behind.
Make yourself pure and perfect
Honour follows spontaneously
Anything can be sacrificed then only.

One Word Took Joy Away.
Today i stand on the low mountain,
trying to memorize in ma brain,
to figure out what happened,
was it fate, mistake, or destiny,
I feel thirsty as am thinking,
as i can't believe it's happening,
after seven years of suffering,
now this was the finalizing,
five years trying to push me away,
we failed for that anyway,
Joy appeared seventh year on the way,
I felt flying having that Joy,
Even if people change on the way,
the original nature will always stay,
the power of the name will be high,
My joy didn't understand that anyway,
My origin tribe weaknesses,
I should be carefully on words selections,
counting my words was wickedness,
as actions speak louder than words,
i take my time composing poems,
finding jokes into different forms,
thank God i know the outcomes,
that human reactions isn't uniforms.
We count reactions we receive,
we forget the Environment we deceive,
we cheer and shout for things we deserve,
we forget how badly we behave,
Good words and things for us,
Bad words and things for them,
THESE ARE THE WORDS I CURSE,
'I DON'T RESPECT YOU THEY ARE.
If we believe and have faith in us,
God will always lead us in our respectable way,
if we count faults everyday,
waiting for what is pure,
we will loose it all,
AM NOT PERFECT I KNOW,
NEITHER DO I NEED THE CLEAN HEART,
IT'S A HIGH WAY TO RECEIVE ANOTHER JOY.

Fuel for Life
Man has actions on certain actions-
These are reactions of a kind called graveness.
Castles of deeds shall embed themselves in youth
And react with old age, to crop up bastions of greatness.
Teachers of a subject we fail to grasp
Have actions and words for our learning-
It is the fortification of youth and moderate
Measures are concocted for display.
Students of milk and honey are mostly animals
That graze quickly and slowly,
That fear those elements frying,
Dismaying those further elements.
We do eat of overwhelming chances,
The meat of a grazing animal is like ivory
Of an elephant’s tusk for the poacher,
But for us it carries banquets upon banquets.
Man must learn how to eat,
How to make a shadow and learn from books;
We either forget or forgive
And we also relive the past of its graveness.

Quatrain #87 - For whatsoever reason we do actions or........
For whatsoever reason we do actions or any certain thing
try and make sure unfavourable reactions they don't bring.
The mystery and depth of cause and effect is baffling to the mind
though possessed of the keenest intellect can still hinder and bind.

Salvation is from our side a choice, from the divine side it is a seizing upon, an apprehending, a conquest by the Most High God. Our ""accepting"" and ""willing"" are reactions rather than actions. The right of determination must always remain with God.

Even When You Feel You Are At Your Worse
Don't give it a thought.
Or contemplate,
Those good deeds by you
Left done.
Or spend a moment,
Rehearsing your remorse.
Your heart is good.
That reflects...
As it should.
Do what you have been doing.
No need to get upset.
You have nothing to regret.
Or should perceive to have done differently.
Even when you feel you are at your worse...
You still have bettered someone's best!
No need to become embittered.
To sit alone with your actions revisited in torment.
Or curse with wishes,
Your actions in resentment.
What 'is' yours...
Will 'be' yours!
Restored.
And/or new,
In due time!

The Terrors
Thoughts lead to feelings and,
Feelings lead to actions!
And of the terrors that will come upon the earth,
But this generation is the last we are now living in.

The Standpoint
My actions are the reactions
of the measures you dispense
The response is in fashion mirroring
and reflected truly thence
It's very easy to be judgmental
and arguably simply censure
When your standing is questionable
with logic weirdly obscure
The past were so much simpler
had unabated frolicking abound
The ravages of the time took their toll
all lost was never to be found

A Letter From Baby, To Guzel (an excerpt from current somniations...)
Guzel,
You have pointed to MY actions as destructive; MY actions were just REACTIONS to YOUR actions; You deceived everyone BECAUSE you were scared, which pushed you away from the 'love of your life'-ME! MY actions are, and have only ever been bourne out of selfless love and and a boundless concern for you; YOUR actions, ON THAT day were the destructive actions; THEY are the only thing that caused all of what followed, for the brief time that both of us were NOT ourselves.
WHY would you destroy something so beautiful, because you are scared? All you needed to do was, say: 'Moe, I am scared! '-to which I would have replied something like: 'OK, no problem-the solution is to slow down and reassess, to ensure you are NOT scared again.' MAYBE THAT is what you should have, and what I would have, done! YOUR actions since that day tell me and the world, that you WANT to fix what YOU broke; namely, NOW, due YOUR actions, EVERYONE with a 'need to know' of MY past does (ALL AT ONCE) and THAT is dead, and? ? ? s they may have NOW, are for me and ME alone; YOUR burden is done my beloved!
I need YOU to understand that though you effectively betrayed me, as well as yourself by NOT being wholly honest about how you REALLY feel, I AM NOT angry, I understand completely NOW why you did what you did, and when and how you did it! I know more than anyone WHY! ! I know more about you than perhaps anyone else in the world, perhaps even YOU! YOU were NOT ready to come here, consort with BOTH our families under the BURDEN of YOUR secret about what HAPPENED to ME! ! I understand, not only because I love you, but because I am pretty insightful as well!
As time marches from that tragic day just before Christmas, the truth, the REAL TRUTH settles and the deceit as well as my 'baggage' fades; Speaking of such-both your past and mine have only strengthened us, they are NOT burdens for each, they are NOT cloaks behind which to hide-they ARE ways that we have learned lessons and gained much strength!
GOD and YOU and alone control both your own destiny, as well as how others view you and those you love most ardently-people are capable of much love, as you well know, through me, as well as others. YOUR friends and family effectively were MORE ambushed MORE than I, BY YOU! But again, the damage has been done, the coast is now clear and the 'drama' is gone. NOW, I only possess a 'sordid' past which includes an 'ex-wife' and TWO beautifully inspiring Daughters. JUST THE WAY YOU LIKE IT! ! (*as you said to me 8 January 2012*) . I HAVE NEVER seen WHAT I know about YOU as baggage, but as PROOF of your strength-now show the world how strong you really are!
Stop running FROM your love and TOWARD YOUR fear, reverse the course, er, curse and come back to friendship, then perhaps love at YOUR speed, it IS real, it IS true and YOU are LOVED!
-Baby

Affliction From The Time
Afflictions are adding by the seconds,
These actions, those reactions are solid;
My eggs are laid down for the eternity,
Finding the passions of the street.
My admission to the school of my choice
Causes me to affect others to the revolution.
My adaptations confidently accuse
The wrong conversations, my heart is set,
My heart beats to the time of heaven.

Instinct actions
Poverty may lead you to steal;
Otherwise also you may steal.
Misfit wife may prompt you to stray;
Otherwise also you may stray.
Instinct actions defy reasons.
Instinct actions trace no causes.

Simmering Dreams!
The dreams simmer in the hearts,
The desire increases the energy in the heat,
The hope in the trance sometimes will be real,
Not let the Simmering hastily overflows,
With accelerated actions and quick reactions,
Control the desire of fire by disconnecting,
It may rain sometimes, when cloud seeding is done,
But the goal can be reached through hard work sown.

Like Hypa Said
Nobody's invincible, no plan foolproof
but keep in mind we're rocking under
the same roof
Bass fire's gonna take u higher
You got a horn in ur hand
You got a whistle round ur neck
that's all u need for our next attack
Don't need a knife
don't need a gun
like hypa said
we just want some fun
Don't need a knife
don't need a gun
like hypa said
we just want some fun
yeah!!!
Me no follow no rumor, me say it's lonely
at the top
actions have reactions
so don't be quick to judge
got the break...

Confused Life
Nonoe's life is
Void of
happiness and love
Sometimes
It just takes
A little bit longer
To reveal
And uncover them.....
From the deep hidden
realities of life
That is full of
Actions and reactions
Love and hatred
Loyalty and selfishness
Honesty and hypocrasy
And above all
truths and falsehoods
That we encounter
In every phase
Of our lives...........

Man Kissing Man
They insist their lifestyle
Is not wrong
When people all the while
Give reactions so strong?
Indeed is it true
Nobody gets offended
Why is it people do
Still call it abhorrent?
Actions that are not normal
Will produce repulsion
Man's breed is social
With rules and conditions
People react and express disgust
When things abnormal are displayed
As the times now demand we must
Say the message, have it conveyed
