He is young enough who has health, and he is rich enough who has no debts.
Miracle On 42nd Street
Iknow a bundle of humanity
shes about so high
im nearly driven to instantly
when she passes by
shes a sunny little honey but oh so hard to kiss
ill try to over come her vanity
and then ill tell her this
im young and healthy
and youve got charms
it would be a sin
not to have you in my arms
im young and healthy
and so are you
when the moon is in the sky
tell me what i am to do?

Isn't That A Contradiction?
What ARE you saying?
Because I do not pay my debts...
I am NOT patriotic?
Isn't that a contradiction?
My debts are not only proof,
That I am a patron of 'patriotism'.
With debts as my evidence.
But I am a veteran of the philosophy as well.
Take your accusations elsewhere.
Or at least give credit where credit is due.
I...
Am entitled!

Money Can’t Buy Health
A Christmas gift
for corporate dynamo.
Who has everything.
Except good health.
Unfortunately
money.
Can’t buy.
Good.
Lifelong health.
Sadly
unfortunately
for prosperous
rich.
Who have
everything else.
Except a
good heart.
Wrong.
This is an age
of miracles.
Exploiting
medical wonders.
Unethical
amoral operations.
Proverbial age
of miracles
and wonder.
Medical marvels.
Heart lung kidney machine
now primitive
more expensive painful option.
Now obsolete;
tragic; time consuming;
has been inconvenience.
The rich man’s dream.
The rich man’s dreams.
Always involved exploitation.
They always wanted
an arm, and a leg.
Your blood, sweat,
and a cupful of tears.
The new twist
of the knife.
Is just surgically
tearing heart out.
Though the choice
involves undesirable;
though acceptable
life compromise.
The buying in of foreign;
former communist;
not prime capitalist;
sold pristine body parts.
Still a wonderful, consumer
dream bargain,
with nice young fresher,
state executed choice.
Chinese boast parts
no one sells it fresher.
Prime heart,
lung, kidney.
Just ten thousand
dollar, each piece.
Rich American European Capitalists
Buying health with wealth.
With criminally convicted
Chinese body parts. Sliced to order.
Funny how victims slain internationally.
Politically framed. Are almost exclusively.
Young and healthy. Young and healthy.
Never never never innocent wealthy?

Be healthy
You should eat healthy
and be healthy.
Instead of having juice,
have fruits.
Instead of having junk,
have some green fun.
So, stay healthy
by eating green
and advise others also the same green fun
you should eat healthy
and be healthy! ! !

Explain
Explain...
If one with 'good' credit,
Is still paying on debts.
Why is one without any debts at all,
Considered a credit risk?
Or can not achieve a credit rating!
And the one with debts...
Is pursued to go even further in it?
Or at best,
Has a low credit standing!
BUT...
Can achieve even 'more' credit,
IF debts are kept at a minimal amount!
Explain...
The one who can not make a bill payment at all,
Is sought to make 'arrangements'!
And 'this' is a way of life that's loved?
Leaving those unemployed who lose benefits,
To lower unemployment statistics...
Even though they can not find jobs!
And those hopping the fence illegally,
Without documentation
No vested interest.
No signs of reading, writing, speaking
OR understanding the language...
Are offered retirement packages,
WITH health coverage!
And they wonder 'why' wild animals
Are leaving the forest in droves!
Many are seen escorting their young,
To soften the hardest of hearts!
'Look...
There's a wolf attacking our pet dog,
In the backyard!
But...
Aren't those eyes just adorable? '
Explain!

Happy is the man without sickness. Rich is the man with no debts.
Rich is he who has no debts, fortunate he who lives without handicap.
For Those Who Are Wise
for those who are wise
are the very first to admit
they do not know much
just a little pinch of salt
to taste,
for those who are young
they do not talk about age at all
for those who are healthy
the medicine is not an issue
for those who are rich
money is not an issue
for those who are intelligent
the I.Q. is a taboo
for those who speak much
their inside is hollow
for those who listen much
everything is taken as such
for those who are dying
life becomes the most precious thing
for those who are fooled
to honesty must be glued.

Healthy people are those who live in healthy homes on a healthy diet; in an environment equally fit for birth, growth work, healing, and dying... Healthy people need no bureaucratic interference to mate, give birth, share the human condition and die.

Healthy fruits are plucked;
Healthy plants are infested.
Healthy animals are slaughtered.

Ultimate Fairness
Death comes to all, old or young,
Sick or healthy, rich or poor, strong or weak.
Death comes to us all, ready or not.
I heard death is the ultimate fairness because no matter who you are,
Death comes to all.
So when he comes for me, whether I am ready or not,
I will walk with him until I go to the Pearly Gates
And enter Eternal Life.

Smiling Culture
Should we have a reason,
to smile at people?
Should we have a reason or two,
to show the human spirit?
When our eyes meet,
we smile spontaneously,
and then move on,
to do our works. Nothing attached.
When our eyes meet,
and I smile,
The other mouth zipped,
but the eyes opened wide.
'He has made a cruel thing to me,
by not smiling back at me'.
'She has made such an act, smiling,
by not keeping the stone face'.
Is smiling an expression,
to invite the people to bed?
Is this friendly gesture,
an expression of corrupted mind?
We smile at everyone,
male and female
young and old,
educated and uneducated,
rich and poor,
healthy and healthy.
at any time, but
we would not smile,
the second time.

You have debts, and make debts still; if you've not lied, lie you will.
The only way for a rich man to be healthy is by exercise and abstinence, to live as if he were poor.

Small debts are like small shot; they are rattling on every side, and can scarcely be escaped without a wound: great debts are like cannon; of loud noise, but little danger.

In A Foreign Land
It was a matter of fact that when I paid all my tax
I held my world in the palm of my hand
And all of my debts were causing me to defect
To a land of bananas and sand
So I ran, yes I ran, yes I ran to a foreign land
Here I am, here I am
Here I am in a foreign land
Im so glad we made it
I thought wed never land
I grabbed all my cash
And decided to dash far away
Far away, far away to a foreign land
Here I am, here I am, here I am in a foreign land
Goodbye to all of the rich mans daughters
Goodbye to my debts now Im way cross the water
Far away, far away in a foreign land
Here I am, here I am here I am in a foreign land
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Please tell my mother and all my ex-lovers
That Ive finally made the grade
Please tell my debtors and the money collectors
That all of my bills will be paid some day
Im away, Im away, far away in a foreign land
Goodbye champagne and caviar set
I wanna slum and drink all the rum I can get
Im away, Im away in a foreign land
Here I am, here I am, here I am in a foreign land
But Im all out of my jack and I cant go back
Im away, far away, far away in a foreign land
La la la la la la
La la la la la la

To clear debts
Are there any debts by way of gratitude
Or by way of neglects, due to someone,
Who is no more and you regret for that?
Regrets and repentance are of no use.
The best way of clearing such debts is
Do as much fevours to their descendants,
By which the departed soul will be crdited.
With that faith, your soul will find some solace.
