One must know oneself, if this does not serve to discover truth, it at least serves as a rule of life and there is nothing better.

Just Be You

When one looks at history
We can either
Learn from the past
To adapt to the present
So you can
Face tomorrow's mysteries

The age old question
We all ask
Can we better ourselves?

To better oneself
You must be brave

To better oneself
You must know love

To better oneself
You must be strong

To better oneself
You must believe

To better oneself
You must learn to share

To better oneself
Just be you

After learning all
Of life's mysteries
One must discover
To be true to
Thine own self
Just be you

0017 And Where The Joy

This, then, the question
for those whom it may concern –

to find a celebration in oneself
that, as outer is, so inner;

that all truth rests within oneself –
for where else can it be found?

to love oneself – for oneself must be loveable,
or none other could be loved for true;

to know all happiness to be within;
to celebrate all this; the world a constant joy;

to find this celebration in oneself.

It's a 'Must' to Witness

Only those who are wishing to get away,
Are those who have never experienced life...
Away from themselves.
That's all that's about.
A routine they can easily change.
But there is a need to get away,
To do it!

To other environments,
They have not themselves created.
And in their minds there is an observation,
Of similarities.
Only to discover 'who' they are.
To return from where they started.
But this time...
Some of life has been explored.

And be prepared...
Yes. You!
Be prepared.
They are going to bore you with their 'findings'.
As if a child with a new toy,
'You' have not seen before.
And it's a 'must' to witness.
Since their excitement,
Will generate within them a happiness.

And be prepared...
Yes. You!
Be prepared.
Even though they wanted to get away?
You are going to see them more,
Than you've ever seen them in your life!
That's what 'getting away' does.

That's what getting away from 'oneself' does!
Like the getting over of oneself that has been in the way.

Truth Will Always Prevail

Truth will always prevail,
It will never ever fail,
Through good and bad,
It will always stand.

Proved in the epic Ramayana,
And in magnificent Mahabharata,
Cursed are those who fought against truth,
For those good, truth algate bore fruit.

A power that is never surpassed ever,
Truth, that anybody let down never,
This is the power that forever lasts,
Truth serves those who serves it most.

The dispenser of truth rules the world,
Even in a world where Satan has hold.

Marriage and Love

Marriage gives life to love and love gives life to marriage.

In marriage, love means:
To know in your heart you were meant only for each-other.
To know that Heaven grew you apart and brought you together after the time you were meant to be molded to fit each-other.
To discover what it is to be best friends forever.
To discover what it is to love someone more than yourself.
To discover you are actually only a half and how much you need the other to be complete.
To discover the bonds that form when times get tough.
To discover how much more joy is multiplied when there is someone you love to share it with.
Each day is a day of discovery, a day to build your love, a day to make your bond stronger.

Marriage is:
To together choose one way, not one's own way.
To respect and honor with love the other over oneself or anyone else.
To compromise with each-other but never compromising each-other.
To know you are loved, wanted and needed whether you are fat or thin, well or ill, chirpy or grumpy.
To live life's summer, winter, autumn and spring always being there for one another.
To blend as one that over the years you feel as one and speak as one.
To be savored like wine, enriched by the passing of time.
To honor Marriage is to honor its Maker. To commit in marriage is to commit to its Maker.

Fundamental of Liar Chapter XXXV: Rules part 2

What’s the rule, when money could buy
What’s the rule, when power is absolute
What’s the rule, when feeling involved
What’s the rule, when pride is important
What’s the rule, when look affects
What’s the rule, when victory is a must
What’s the rule, when worlds are vain
What’s the rule, people don’t change
What’s the rule, when good is not always right
What’s the rule, freedom is misunderstood
What’s the rule, anger conquers
What’s the rule, past neglected
What’s the rule, crime that committed

Self indulgences.

The one who talks much of oneself
Is doing so to conceal as much oneself.
The one who curses much oneself
Is doing so to get pity for oneself.

All I Had Going Is Gone

(ronnie rogers/mark wright)
The day we met
Ill never forget
Was the luckiest of my life
She took me so far
And I broke her heart
Now Im sittin' here
With the simple truth
That tears me apart
Chorus:
All I had goin' is gone
The best Ill ever do
Is over and done
It serves me right
cause I did her wrong
Now all I had goin' is gone
Sometimes a man
Just dont understand
He possesses everything life can bring
He thinks theres more
So he has to explore
Leavin' her alone
Time after time
Til she wlaked out my door
Now it serves me right
She left me alone
Now all I had goin' is gone

Born To Rule

Lay down your arms this night
Surrender to the power
Embracing your metal heart
On your final walk through the snow
A hammer made of steel
From the river of blood
With magic, forged in flames
Delusions, a curse of the damned
What do you see?
Imaginary visions or reality
When you're free
Then you'll see that you are bound to rule
Rule - Born - Rule
We were Born to Rule
Rule - Born - Rule
We were Born to Rule
Born to Rule - Born to Rule
We're Born to Rule forever more
Born to Rule - Born to Rule
We're Born to Rule forever
The revolution forced us all to heed the final call
And if tomorrow never comes
Then we will strike the hammer down
Rule - Born - Rule
We were Born to Rule
Rule - Born - Rule
We were Born to Rule
Born to Rule - Born to Rule
We're Born to Rule forever more
Born to Rule - Born to Rule
We're Born to Rule forever
Forever, forever Rule!

One Golden Rule

Theres a heart in the middle of somewhere tonight
Screaming for reasons or just a way out
I put the shirt off my back on a wager that says
Theres one every night from my old school yard days
I hear you say one golden rule
One golden rule
Theres been times Ive been stood in the wind and the rain
Freezing and busted and tricked out of luck
And I cursed my teachers for all of their reading
What we needed most cant be found in them books
One golden rule
Now they teach you to swim but they dont speak of the danger
Tell you the truth but they never say why
Put you on ice that is thin and tell you its winter
Without one golden rule the truth is a lie
One golden rule

I can't believer this,

I can't believe,
I can never believe,
This is what they did,
Obviously they are insane,
To be lyeing and ruining,
This is the understanding,
In the awakening of my life,
This is the choice that I made,
When I serve my Master from heaven,
I can never believe this is what they did,
Obviously there is an awesome event,
Obviously I'm coming to understand truth,
They did all the bad that they did,
I can never believe it,
Obviously they must be lyeing,
I can see it clearly,
Truth will come and heal me,
That my every dream was to serve my heavenly Father.

An Earnest Prayer to God

God, rule my tongue, my works, my thought;
God, rule my mind, body, and heart;
God, rule all gifts from You I got;
God, rule my will, forget-me-not.

God, rule all things, my every part;
God, rule my actions from the start;
God, rule my soul, guide it with art;
God, rule my life till I depart!

You Know Why?

I ignored you all because you see, love
You make too many demands on me...

A strain prohibiting to pretend
My thoughts and your thoughts declare one end....

Discourse serves not to satisfy such
Awareness between differs as much...

When harmony lacks discomfort groans
A seed infertile ground moms....

Obstacle within oneself to find
spirits of likeness best be aligned...

Compromise then subtraction refute
Accommodate of vision astute..

Reticence behold retrogression
Finding truth secret isolation....

This is a fact of my life
Even if you don't ever become my wife...
