That Has Yet To Happen
Do me a favor.
'Sure.
I'm here for you.'
Don't do me anymore favors.
That's the favor I am requesting.
Everytime you have been here for me,
Why is it I have to remind you...
Of a favor you promised to do,
That has yet to happen?
'So what are you saying?
The excuses I used,
Were not good enough for you?
And I went out of my way,
To choose the best ones I could?
Well...
You don't have to worry about me,
Ever doing you a favor again.
People like you are not worth my time.
And are so ungrateful.'
I know.
It's difficult for me,
To not think of myself all the time.
'I'm glad you can see how selfish you can be.'
I'm reminded.
'Good.
It's not all about you,
You know.
I have a life to live too.'
I'm reminded.

Prudent Simplicity (Translated From Owen)
That thou mayst injure no man, dove-like be,
And serpent-like, that none may injure thee!

To injure an opponent is to injure yourself. To control aggression without inflicting injury in the Art of Peace.

Living As God Favored
As I walk I feel the presence of God
No matter how uncertain I may feel at times, I know he is with me
When you have blessings coming from all places, that's the favor of God
Looking back, when I could have and should have lost my way, I had the favor of God
The Scripture says, the will of God will not take you,
Where the grace of God will not protect you and that's a fact
God is good and life is easy when you know you have the favor of God

I Could Not Love You
There're a billion people in the world
All of them equal but of different worth
I find you to have a value equaled by no other
You are a rare and beautiful flower
But I'm sorry that I could not favor you
And make you the queen of my heart as I should
That instead I chose a different group
And I chose to favor them more than you
To favor a person means that you are two
And I'm sorry that I could not be with you
And a favored another one more fair
Although you are a true queens heir
And amongst a million kings and princesses
You always claimed that you were the fairest
And though your heart is the kindest I knew
I apologies that I could not favor you
And instead I chose to favor another
Not your equal, but not your better
I see a million faces each day but only acquaint with a few
You and I went different ways so I could not favor you
You and I once had our chance but I chose to let it go
You had no fault at all as I made the choice alone
And instead I chose to look for another
And I did favor them more than you
Although in my eyes you are a flower
I'm sorry that I could not be with you
And value you as a queen like I should
But just as I favored another more than you
Another favors you more than any other
And chose to be with you and no-other

Guess Who I Saw At the Mall?
Do me a favor?
'What's that? '
Promise not to do me anymore favors.
'Why'?
When was the last time you did me a favor?
'I don't remember.'
That's why I want you to promise,
Not to make anymore promises...
You will do me a favor.
'What was I suppose to do for you? '
Call my boss this morning.
To tell him I was sick in bed with a fever.
Guess who I saw at the mall?
Asking me 'if' I plan to be sick,
For the rest of the week?
'I don't know.
Who? '

Ch 08 On Rules For Conduct In Life - Maxim 07
To have mercy upon the bad is to injure the good; to pardon tyrants is to do violence to dervishes.
If thou associatest and art friendly with a wretch
He will commit sin with thy wealth and make thee his partner.
Hatred of enemies is easier and more intense than love of friends. But from men who are more anxious to injure opponents than to benefit the world at large no great good is to be expected.

The Rich and the Poor
The rich are not the poor, forming laziness
In the ranks of the workers.
A smile appears on the earners of money,
The art of effects is learnt,
Hearing will combine with seeing
As names are being named.
They sicken and injure the children
Often.
This is riches, this is not poverty,
For we injure and smash the very people begotten.
We as the confident people of hard earning
Learn of the heads.
They smash our heads like savage masters
As if we are slaves, slavery works.
I want a gift for my children
But others want themselves to be fed.
Why not die and let the children live?

You talk about the values that you have whether they're in favor or not in favor. That's how you lead. The reality is, we're losing more and more elections.

Bring Me Home
There is this emptyness I carry around with me
Just like a hole that you will never see
I wander in the sun but its cold inside of me
Im a monkey in the zoo but someone cut my tree
Hey God if you are really up there and I am not alone
Just do me a favor,
Bring me home
Just do me a favor,
Bring me home
My oversized bedroom appears so small without you
Ive tried it all from pills to gin but havent found the clue
Its like someone has locked the door so I cant get through
To where the emptyness is wiped away by you
Hey God if you are really up there and I am not alone
Just do me a favor,
Bring me home

Truth
People around globe love me
I am affordable from poorest to the richest.
But I hardly find few buyers
my availability need no permit or passport.
I am omnipresent in the universe.
Humanity favor me when listen from others.
Everyone utilize me for their favor.
But many of them hate to follow me.
I allow myself to be used against me.
I am more powerful than sword.
People take oath for me but did not follow me.
They are innocent and ignorant people.
Only brave and strong person can buy me for good.
I can pray to god that more and more person follow me
Instead of listening from other mouth.
People across the globe called me……Truth and only truth
Truth hurt some time, but always a good help for human being.

Industry has operated against the artisan in favor of the idler, and also in favor of capital and against labor. Any mechanical invention whatsoever has been more harmful to humanity than a century of war.
