Celerity is never more admired than by the negligent.

Passing Clouds
Those I admired in my teenage are no more.
Those I admired in my middle age are old.
Those I admired later are out of the screen.
The ones I admire now are in their teen age.

Reunion
I had guards like watchdogs
Dogs in a manger
I could feel the protection
Possession and anger
And I drove out of there
With no on behind me
Feeling funny and free
All you pretty pretenders
Negligent vendors
Arent you precious inside
I have no need for anger
With intimate strangers
And I got nothing to hide
Yeah
I laughed as I said it
This is my situation
Its not pictures or privilege
Its just self preservation
I dont want you to feel
Any obligation
It feels so funny to be free
All you pretty pretenders
Negligent vendors
Arent you precious inside
I have no need for anger
With intimate strangers
And I got nothing to hide
We act empty and innocent
But we are fueled by distortions
(I remember you)
Of lives led in discontent
(when we were shiny and new)
Trading misfortunes
(now you guard your faith)
Cause faith is one thing
That is hard to deliver
(temper your speed)
It feels so funny to be free
All you pretty pretenders
Negligent vendors
Arent you precious inside
I have no need for anger
With intimate strangers
And I got nothing to hide
I got nothing to hide
All of us arent we
Pretty pretenders
Negligent vendors
Arent we precious inside
I have no need for anger
With intimate strangers
And I got nothing to hide
I got nothing to hide
I had guards like watchdogs
Dogs in a manger
(I remember you)

Number One
Honesty is often admired.
And in privacy...
Those known to be that way,
Are more than welcomed.
But an honesty admired,
That becomes publicly outspoken...
Around others unfamiliar with it,
Can stun them and have them run.
Most people rather not be shown,
Associated with it.
Most people collectively,
Choose to be accepted.
And today no one wants to feel shunned.
Knowing until an approval of honesty,
Has yet to be done.
Since currently dishonesty for many is number one.

A Man
he is a young man. Tall and smooth
and admired by Time and
favored by tolerance. He walks briskly along
the city street, and goes inside a place
where the flowers of his youth
are being admired.
young women recite him as a
love verse, his eyes become their visions
his muscled sensuality, his tight body
stir the imagination of those who
want to be beautiful too
till the end of this busy day.

A sans conscience
I killed conscience
I strangulated presence
There is left nothing
I need fear something
I shall be rudderless
Totally negligent and selfless
Not caring for anybody
I am soulless body
Just a burden on earth
Will end only with death
No religion and no trust
Can any one tell what is must?

We Can Only Be Proud Together
I am proud to be selected,
To be your leader.
However...
You 'are' going to fix what is broken.
I will assist.
And you will not sit.
I can only be effective...
If you are not negligent.
Do not look for me to lead...
If you aren't prepared to proceed!
Those days of sitting back to watch others,
Work their butts.
While you do nothing but complain and cuss...
Are gone!
We can only be proud together,
Or never achieve our goals.

Relentless
You wanna be this.
You wanna be that.
You wanna be considered,
As a fed big fat cat.
You want to be admired,
To inspire dreams and hopes.
You wanna be more...
Than average folk.
You wanna insist persistence lifts.
And it can!
And it will.
Since you are not one to stand still!
To wish for a want,
You know you can fulfill!
And the power of your 'will'...
Delivers your wants to feed a feast!
Increased by a relentless release of desire!
Scorching a path,
Burning and admired!
And I choose to remain...
Sizzling,
In the ceasless heat of your fire!
My heart yearns to share your constant flame!
Undaunted by the swiftness licked...
Envisioned by the goal that's aimed!
And soaring to spiral even higher.
I am dripping wet...
And there enjoying this sweat I love!

I Own Them
Are my two balls
Too big for you?
When they are exposed and admired...
Do you become ashamed
You have none to show too?
You want your friends to believe,
You wear the pants in here!
I played along with you for years...
But it is what it is,
And if I would leave...
You would be in tears.
They are loved,
And you like them there!
Hanging in front of your nose.
Just as they appear!
So why are you letting small town talk
And gossip you hear...
Make you feel these balls and not for you,
And near!
Are my two balls
Too big for you?
When they are exposed and admired...
Do you become ashamed
You have none to show too?
If you let me be the man I am
And not one just to screw...
Like your friends and neighbors
Tell you they do
Behind the backs of their spouses,
And that's a fact that's true!
It will be much better...
If you decided I own them!
They are mine,
Hanging in front of my behind!
And they are there to share with you.
Anytime you've got an hour or two!

Equal reactions
Time was not far
To leave whom you’d wooed,
To abandon whom you’d craved
And to skip whom you’d admired
Time was not far
To leave who’d wooed you,
To abandon, who’d craved you,
And to skip, who’d admired you.
Time was not far
For those who would abandon,
Who would desert you
Or who would at least slip from you.

Survival is the Strategy
the way of new survival is negligent knowledge
where you follow unkown pattern, same do the masses
destroying your culture and tradition, with modernization
overwhelmed by sourcefull illusion of
materialistic people's ideology
they laugh at your words
loosing the chemistry in the bongs
so then pact of the impact will lease the fact.
So it is our new life.

~not Easily Broken~
a love freely offered
by a courageous heart
is eagerly admired and
marvelled over as
a rare find
a precious treasure
reverently encased
behind fine glass
and placed on a pedestal
appreciated for
its beauty
its purity
its innocence
from a far
but remains
fearfully unaccepted
by a Soul
blinded by the
deceptions of fear
that whisper lies
of unworthiness
though geatly desired
by this troubled Soul
the love freely offered
by the courageous heart is
rejected at every offering
each rejection
inflicting pain
upon this tender fragile heart
in its naivity
its ever hopeful state
is easily hurt
and easily bruised
yet the Soul
of this tender courageous heart
though admired for
its beauty
its purity
its innocence
it is disconnected
and remains alone
and often lonely
yet perseveres
beyond the rejection
still hurt and bruised
but not easily broken
for the Soul of the tender heart
longs to be taken
from behind the bevelled glass
no longer admired or treasured
as a rare find
but cherished
and loved in return

Body Of A Man
what i lost
was simply my body
the flat abdomen
gave in to negligent
fats
my strong muscled
arms
got the flab
i detest what my
mirror shows me
this is not me
i tell myself
this is me
the truth insists
too much sitting
too much poetry
the thinking finally
kills the body
the spirit soars
this is the real me
forget the body
i finally proclaim
myself before me

Elephant On The Telephone
There’s an elephant on the telephone
Who wants to make a trunk call
To the elegant but pleasant gent
That he calls his negligent uncle
Who had forgotten, since he’s not
An elephant with great foresight,
To tie a tight knot upon the spot
In his cotton handkerchief, a fortnight
Ago in November, so he’d remember
That December’s the time for going shopping
For expensive gifts he intends to fit
In the elephant’s huge Christmas stocking.

Portly Man
Even when I portray a portly man
My instincts have begotten further ways;
His portion is over time a calamity,
In portraits, into porridges, and soups.
He is positive with the popery,
But never does he sermonize us with delight.
Instead the resources munch him,
Respire then and squint fatherhood.
Munching is a sin, but negligent,
A sin too small, a transgression of slight nature.
This portly man surprises with confusion,
The liquids of time abase him now.
