The nearest boor is the nearest kinsman when the calf lies in the ditch.

Nearest Distant Shore
(written by gary harrison, tim mensy)
You fight for every breath
Caught without a ship in this sea of neglect
The one you swore to love is pulling you down
Youre in over your head
Chilled to the bone by the waters youve tread
Chart a course to land, before you drown
Swim to the nearest distant shore
Theres only so much a heart can endure
You gave it your best, forgive yourself
You cant hold on anymore
Its not as far as it might seem
Now its time to let go of old dreams
Every heart for itself
Swim to the nearest distant shore
He said for you hed change
Then hed let you down and watch you take the blame
Youre trapped between his lies and the great unknown
You vowed you would not fail
But this aint success its a living hell
Theres nothing left to lose, youre already alone
Swim to the nearest distant shore
Theres only so much a heart can endure
You gave it your best, forgive yourself
You cant hold on anymore
Its not as far as it might seem
Now its time to let go of old dreams
Every heart for itself
Swim to the nearest distant shore

Impulse is ultimate
A girl may love the loveliest pool
but slips to bathe in the nearest ditch.
A man seeks the sweetest fruit
but can trap only the closest rot.
Impulse out weigh emotion

Ample opportunities
Go to the nearest nursery
Where there is greenery of life
where there is a quick makeover.
Go to the nearest nursery
And change the light
And its colors and focus.
Switch a photo click
Say something with some words
That are yours only.
One has to stay a while
To listen only from you.
Go outside and see the position
of the trees birds animals
that provide you
Ample opportunities
to compose life poetry.

The head only knows what lies nearest the heart.
Your eyes burns right through me
Your eyes burns right through me
and your hand
clasps mine
and we discuss deep things,
but that which lies nearest
to me
is your sincerity
and I cheer because
you want to love me more.

Started Out
We started out together
Twoards a break up, me and you
We kissed away the hours
Like young lovers do
We sat in bars
You talked the night through
About things that didn't matter
But were important to you
I said: I'm frustrated and lovesick
looking for the nearest way out
So you don't find out what I'm all about
We started out together
Twoard an ending, me and you
We kissed away the hours
Like young lovers do
It was never my intention
To become distant and cruel
Now I'm somewhere else
And whit someone new
I said: I'm frustrated and lovesick
looking for the nearest way out
So she doesn't find out what I'm all about
Chances are they all linger in me
(you got to try again with somebody else)
If I try again, will I be rewarded?
Yet another try, what kind of of person am I?
Chances are they all linger in me

Ka-ching
We live in a greedy little world--
That teaches every little boy and girl
To earn as much as they can possibly--
Then turn around and
Spend it foolishly
Weve created us a credit card mess
We spend the money we dont possess
Our religion is to go and blow it all
So its shoppin every sunday at the mall
All we ever want is more
A lot more than we had before
So take me to the nearest store
[chorus:]
Can you hear it ring
It makes you wanna sing
Its such a beautiful thing--ka-ching!
Lots of diamond rings
The happiness it brings
Youll live like a king
With lots of money and things
When youre broke go and get a loan
Take out another mortgage on your home
Consolidate so you can afford
To go and spend some more when
You get bored
All we ever want is more
A lot more than we had before
So take me to the nearest store
[repeat chorus]
Lets swing
Dig deeper in your pocket
Oh, yeah, ha
Come on I know youve got it
Dig deeper in your wallet
Oh
All we ever want is more
A lot more than we had before
So take me to the nearest store
[repeat chorus]
Can you hear it ring
It makes you wanna sing
Youll live like a king
With lots of money and things
Ka-ching!

Never Ever
when a politician uses the phrase
“never ever”
pick up your television, radio, phone or
PC (however it is that you are listening to the
person blab) &
hurl it out the nearest window.
if you are lucky (and have good aim) ,
it will come crashing down upon a sidewalk
or a street &
the person babbling lies
will stop doing so.

Digging A Ditch
I'm digging a ditch
Where madness lives
I'm digging a ditch
Where my silence lives
I'm diggin a ditch and when I am through
Digging this ditch I'll dig one for you
Digging a ditch
As black as cold
Digging a ditch
Where I can hide my soul
Digging a ditch
Where my secrets stay

Volleys Of Shots Rang Out As We Stormed
Volleys of shots rang out as we stormed,
the trenches that were meandering formed,
in the distance snipers were firing from a wall
into the cover of the nearest ditch we did fall.
A trooper next to me suddenly smiled
and everywhere around us was death’s smell,
the winter sun was very weak but mild
while our ears sang from a mortar shell.
In succession into the trench we did leap,
I fired from the hip from the point of entry,
the light machinegun did chattering sweep
in a enemy camp in a bordering country
where as soldiers we had parachuted in
and a passing bullet burnt my arm’s skin.
