Marshall McLuhan

Great art speaks a language which every intelligent person can understand. The people who call themselves modernists today speak a different language.

Ch 08 On Rules For Conduct In Life - Maxim 05

The country is adorned by intelligent and the religion by virtuous men. Padshahs stand more in need of the advice of intelligent men than intelligent men of the proximity of padshahs.

If thou wilt listen to advice, padshah,
There is none better in all books than this:
‘Entrust a business to an intelligent man
Although it may not be his occupation.’

An jam is when you caint move in a party
Mi say England is a place that covered in snow
Man we drink the ribeana wi don't no like drink beer
But Jelly fish Jahman mi say them swim in a the sea
Unless you born an bread as a Jamaican

Intelligent Stupidity?

'Intelligent Stupidty' are we not?
weapons we make to kill with one shot?
Intelligent Stupidity is when technology
is not up with our spirituality.
You can be as intelligent as you want,
but what good is it if it destroys what you got?

Speak With Kindness (Or Do Not Speak At All)

speak with kindness,
or do not speak at all.
speak not of judgement,
you are not the judge.
speak not of salvation,
let your living be your scriptures.
speak not of scriptures,
let your actions be your holy book.
speak not as apostle or teacher,
speak as a human being.
speak not of god,
then god will speak through you!
speak not as a man,
for you are woman too.
speak not with hateful malice,
for love does not work that way.
speak not as a prophet or seer,
speak as compassion made flesh.
speak not of morality,
speak of connection.
speak not of authority,
the tree and the leaf have just as much.
speak not of holiness,
for all that lives be holy.
speak with kindness...
or do not speak at all!

I forgive you

I forgive you
You are not intelligent enough
To recognise
Your attitude has been quite rough

I forgive you
You are not intelligent enough
To understand
What it really means to be tough

I believe in forgive and forget
Instead of negative actions
Born our of impulsive reactions
That we both may regret
There will simply be no winners
There will simply be no losers

I forgive you!
For the sake of peace
I forgive you!

Adage 4

'Don't make use of another man's mouth unless it has been loaned to you.'
Belgian Proverb

if i let you borrow
my mouth
will you follow what it will say?
or will you tell it
what to say?
i am a poet
without a motive
my words speak for themselves
the only function of my
mouth and my tongue
is to eat
and shut up.

Mr U.F.O. Man (feat. John Ostby)

(feat. John Ostby)
Dear God it's me transmittin' from
This tiny place I live in Harlem
Oh heaven we have a problem
Cuz we lost all correspondence
And there's no more prophets
They've all been replaced with politics
And they have your people hostage
That's why I'm sending you this postage
If you're listening Mr. UFO man
Speak to Jesus tell him we're on earth and
Things are worse than they have ever been now
Father, it's urgent we need u
Come down
Hey now
You're my father
And I don't know what's out there
So many of us are scared
Hey now
We got people shooting people
We live in warface
I'm not talking nuclear
I ain't got there yet
Why we got intelligent mouths
on Larry King with religious doubts
While the rabbi and minister fuss
Shit, another one bites the dust
So the yellow red black and white
Send missiles in the dark of night
Probably wanna stop but don't know how
That's why Lord, we really need you now
If you're listening Mr. UFO man
Speak to Jesus tell him we're on earth and
Things are worse than they have ever been now
Father, it's urgent we need u
Come down
People around if you feel our vibe ride
Come on aboard there's enough room inside
We're flying high where heaven hides
Hope I see you on the other side
If you're listening Mr. UFO man
Speak to Jesus tell him we're on earth and
Things are worse than they have ever been now
Father, it's urgent we need u
Come down
Why we got intelligent mouths (intelligent mouths)
on Larry King with religious doubts
While the rabbi and minister fuss (while they go

Those Simple Words That I Speak To You

many times i want
to go away from simple words
those that you can easily understand
and hence take for granted

words which you think have
no life
which means that i have too
to go away from you

which i cannot
because without you i cannot breathe
i cannot speak
i may die and perhaps i may only

speak those words
that will understand only themselves when i am finally taken
into their bosoms
filled with eternal emptiness

Understand?

I don't understand,
I don't understand,
why your not around,
I don't understand,
why you speak such lies,
All of which you try and deny,
I don't understand,
How am I supossed to trust you?
I don't understand,
Why you ask so much of me?
Tell me,
How to trust someone who doesn't trust themselves?
But the one thing I can trust is,
How you'll let me down!

Who wants the intelligent?

The intelligent one is ungrateful.
His eyes are on steps ahead
Not on the ones trodden.
The intelligent one is unreliable.
His eyes are on the steps ahead
Not on the one he is on.
He reaches the end by bending the means..
Who wants intelligent people?

Creation and The Creator

I don't understand so many things
But I do understand one thing
Clearly
That
There is God up there
And He is everywhere
And He is everything that exists
And
we are an insignificant
But
Inseparable part of God
And we are actually a little
Bit of saliva of God-particle
In side extremely big
But
Limited space
And space is mass having least density
And
From point of view of time
God is infinite
And
He is one
And
He is alive, intelligent and unique
And
Though
He is so-so
He is the best person!

Busy lovers guide - what proverbs foretell

'For talks six times
with the same single lady
you may get your wedding dress ready'

honestly believing on
this oldest proverb,
I started talking in my office
to the next seat lady
........... sixteen times a day
to double up the speed

but both of us are yet to know
when to get our coveted dresses ready

very lately I discover now....
the basics I missed, through another proverb

'Love ceases to be a pleasure
when it ceases to be a secret'

Believe Understand and Wait

Believe in the purpose
Understand it's meaning
And wait for the results

Believe in yourself
Understand that you can't be perfect
And wait for your reaction

Believe in the truth
Understand the lie
And wait to fit them together

Believe in what you see
Understand what you hear
And wait to judge

It's the process of thinking
Believe and understand
Speak and wait for results

Want

he wants
or at least wishes
that everyone in the family
be intelligent,
but he knows, of course, this is
not possible at all,
some come out as morons
others turn out later to
be nincompoops,

some though with the way
they speak and write
spelling the words
correctly and
choosing the right words
under the proper
context with which they
are said
and meant, ...become
too promising
to appease what he calls
as bad karma to
the family,

they later give their
true colors,
yes, intelligent but
very corrupt,

at the end he leaves
everything to God,
asking though,

it this really what
it has to be?
a family of wrong
people
and hence somewhere
along the line
one must settle for
compromises

or just leave genetics
as is
and let evolution do
the selection
of who in the family
becomes fit
to survive

well that 's it
i get away from my
wishes
i simply watch the family
go by
like a story without an
expected ending.

yes, what if God does not speak english at all?

you were not born yesterday
and probably heard it before

that if your God does not speak english
then he must not be God

of course, something arrogant
hangs in the air
of this effortless superiority that
'englishers'
'english-plongplangs'
clai m, which, of course, we
always oppose and dub
as prettry dumb silly

but anyhow, yes, we are asked again
what if?
what if, this God, does not really speak English?

well, of course, he is still God
and he must not have considered the english language
that important

and i agree, even if i speak it,
i still have this language
of my soul,

albeit, in english, for you,
who does not speak my own language,

yes, of course, for you to perhaps
understand,

but i like it though, this thought
that God does not speak
the english language, lest, he may sound

so englishly, oh well,
arrogant.....

dear God
do you really...not speak english?
