Zeal
Your zeal and my zeal,
Great cloud of witness to take us through;
But Adam and Eve fell into sin.
Of fleshly fathers to correct us,
Of fleashly mothers to care for us,
But to the great gathering of love is what we need.
Chasten your children and teach them the zeal of life,
For the great cloud of witness is with zeal.
My love is higher than the heavens and,
My works are easily noted by you;
But i will wander into the deserts and the mountains.
Perfected is my love by faith,
And i will to you very soon;
But let your zeal lead you on always.

Political Precept
All that thou doest is right; but, friend, don't carry this precept
On too far,--be content, all that is right to effect.
It is enough to true zeal, if what is existing be perfect;
False zeal always would find finished perfection at once.

True and False Zeal
Zeal is that pure and heavenly flame,
The fire of love supplies ;
While that which often bears the name,
Is self in a disguise.
True zeal is merciful and mild,
Can pity and forbear ;
The false is headstrong, fierce and wild,
And breathes revenge and war.

My Medals
I die over my medals, which make my nose run,
For the tears I tried to suppress, but no use,
Both hands can not cope with any old illness,
The way of death, and the ways of heaven.
One dies of combat and the wound is heavy
That tears flow on the colours of the rainbow -
Some tears are red blood, while others transparent like water.
The fragments of the war are like any spoils,
But the best spoils come from the head and heart,
It is death and its accompaniment,
Just how to feed the dead.
I die over my medals, which may produce the tears.

Its You
(clarke / hicks / nash)
Dont raise your voice to me
And dont be unkind
Im just a foolish man
Who doesnt know his mind
There is a reason
I dont love you like I should
And its you
Yes, its you
Oh its you
Try understanding
Im a simple man at heart
The way you carry on
I think well drift apart
I cant afford to live
The way you want us to
So, its you
Yes, its you
Oh, its you
Why cant I love you
Why cant I love you
Cause Im not the kind of man you are looking for
If everything is wrong
Well go our separate way
Youll have to find a man
Who does just what you say
To break up is a shame
It spoils the chance we had
But its you
Yes, its you
Oh, its you
Why cant I love you
Why cant I love you
Cause Im not the kind of man you are looking for
If everything is wrong
Well go our separate way
Youll have to find a man
Who does just what you say
To break up is a shame
It spoils the chance we had
But its you
Yes, its you
Oh, its you

Too much spoils and too little is not enough.
Mercy II
Have mercy on me with your love and,
Do satisfy me with the muse of your name;
For that is the way that nature planned it,
And i am around to learn from you.
You are called Mercy and,
I can depend on you because of your mercy;
For the zeal of your heart is like your sweet meal presented to me,
And like the zeal of your love.
Living,
My life;
Creation,
Your life;
But a perfect lover needs mercy!
And i hope that we can live together on this love,
For you have the golden hen around you.
Memories,
To keep it real for Mama Africa! !
But come and take me away with your sweet love,
For you are always on my mind;
And i will be free to fly like a bird up high in the sky.

Difficult To Quit If One Is Wishing They Could
Accustomed to being good,
It spoils the anticpation.
The first time in the getting of it,
Is the best remembered.
And from there and when repeated,
The expectation is just to get that fix.
With a quieting done that comes to one,
Addicted to a habit and getting it quick.
Satisfying a habit gratified automatically,
Is difficult to quit if one is wishing they could.
With a quieting done that comes to one,
Addicted to a habit and getting it quick.
And from there and when repeated,
The expectation is just to get that fix.
The first time in the getting of it,
Is the best remembered.
Accustomed to being good,
It spoils the anticpation.

Zest and Zeal!
Life always needs something that is special
The natural fun factor of Life; Zest and Zeal
Lookout for the stupidest reasons to smirk
Moments of fun after times of busy work
Every Day there must be a time to Smile
Anytime is the time, for you to Smile!
Smile makes you revive and thrive
Zest and Zeal are essential to survive
Food, Work and Fun are Good for longer life
A couple is certainly a husband and a wife!
When you smile, you feel a little better
Bread always tastes better with butter! :)
