When we see men of worth, we should think of equaling them when we see men of a contrary character, we should turn inwards and examine ourselves.

Examination
Abolish examination.
And who are you to take examination?
Do you know whom to examine
And how to examine?
If you are so keen to take examination
Examine yourself first.
It is not easy to examine self
And pass the examination
scoring top.
Examine self while alone
Alone at night
Alone at bed.
Dare not examine others and
Dare not examine especially children.

Blood Red Tears
Lighten up, give it up
I see a chance to make it up
Theres a price for every day
Youve just thrown away
I am all I ever was
Didnt change the way I was
Get a grip, button it
Cool down, hypocrite
Couldnt you find her? examine your head
Heres a reminder, blood red tears were shed
Didnt you need her? examine your head
Will you remember? blood red tears were shed
You dispose, I oppose
Couldnt you resist a go
You applaud your reward
I sit here alone
You agree to comfort me
Every day I try to leave
End of feud, your attitude
Worn there on your sleeve
Couldnt you find her? examine your head
Heres a reminder, blood red tears were shed
Didnt you need her? examine your head
Will you remember? blood red tears were shed
Couldnt you find her? examine your head
Heres a reminder, blood red tears were shed
Didnt you need her? examine your head
Will you remember? blood red tears were shed
They tell me to go, I lie that I know, he cries so unkindly
Couldnt you find her? examine your head
Heres a reminder, blood red tears were shed
Didnt you need her? examine your head
Will you remember? blood red tears were shed

The destructive character lives from the feeling, not that life is worth living, but that suicide is not worth the trouble.

Examine the Dwindling of Your Whims
Listen to them...
Self described conservatives.
Directors of isolated separations.
Keepers of crumbling values...
Inflicted in strict restricting divisions.
And unmonitored greed.
Delusioned in self righteous feeding.
Listen to them...
Self described conservatives.
Then from your listening,
Examine the environment!
Examine your diminished way of life.
Then self examine the dwindling of your whims.
And the color of your money.
Is anyone who is oppressed,
Have their image imprinted?
Where are their wishes implemented?
And on whose backs,
Are sentiments lamented?

Get Up In It!
If I did not know you knew,
Should I keep my thoughts from you?
Should I lock up in a box,
Fearing life just like you do?
Come on.
Come on!
A woulda coulda shoulda,
Doesn't work for me at all.
I'm not gonna stop or drop,
This peace of mind that I've got!
Come on,
Get up in it!
Come on,
Get up in it!
Come on,
Get up in it!
Come on, come on...
And turn on!
Your life is worth a minute.
But that much you don't put in it.
You sit with aches and pains.
Complain like it's a game.
Come on,
Get up in it!
Come on,
Get up in it!
Come on,
Get up in it!
Come on, come on...
And turn on!
Get up in it.
Come on,
Get up in it!
Come on,
Get up in it!
Come on, come on...
And turn on!
Your life is worth a minute.
But that much you don't put in it.
Come on,
Get up in it!
Come on,
Get up in it!
Come on,
Get up in it!
Come on, come on...
And turn on!
Come on,
Get up in it!
Come on,
Get up in it!
Come on,
Get up in it!
Come on, come on...
And turn on!
If I did not know you knew,
Should I keep my thoughts from you?
Should I lock up in a box,
Fearing life just like you do?
Come on,
Get up in it.
Come on!
Get up in it!
Come on,
Get up in it.
Come on, come on...
And turn on!

Hard work spotlights the character of people some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn up at all.
Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn up at all.
Nature and Woman
Nature and woman
Both are weakness for man
One sheds tear
Another is made to bear
One is ready to offer
Another is ready to suffer
Both identical but different in approach
Noble thoughts for sacrifice as such
Nature is kind
So is the woman very much blind
Gives everything for slight pretext
Without thinking what will be next
Nature has everything in abundance
Women have character by chance
Both stand for giving away the pride
Come closer when wish to confide
Women are worth to be adored
So is the nature to be explored
One may dedicate for whole life
Another may bless for future life
So do we need to be grateful?
Think of wisely and remain faithful
Do nothing contrary to cause harm
When they both are ready to welcome

Left To Examine
People seldom select rebellion.
From a truth spoken and understood.
Yet those upset and labelled rebels,
Know too well...
They've been deceived and meant to be.
With perceptions shallow and kept to believe,
And fed to a consciousness deluded to depths.
And difficult it is to keep people like this,
Conformed to accept values distanced from reality.
Realities often thought to be militant with intent.
And long mentioned by the ones...
People decided they would choose to shun.
But themselves left to examine and now have begun,
Analyzing traditions and values with a doing done.
With a wondering of which standards to use.
Where to go and who to question,
To release them from confusion.
And self inflicting mental abuse.
Protected in historic denial hypnotized to seduce.
Left to examine...
These times.
And how will they be...
Redefined.
How will that begin to be done,
These times.
And how will they be...
Redefined.
Left to examine...
These times.
And how will they be...
Redefined.
How will that begin to be done,
These times.
And how will they affect,
Minds!
Left to examine...
In the coming of the changing times.
And...
How will that begin to be done,
In minds,
Left to examine...
In the coming of the changing times.

Image is like body
Don't do anything that hurts your image.
It is equaling that you hurt yourself.
You must find some means to amend it
Or exit the place in case you fail in it.

Two things, well considered, would prevent many quarrels; first to have it well ascertained whether we are not disputing about terms rather than things; and secondly, to examine whether that on which we differ is worth contending about.
