Consider any individual at any period of his life, and you will always find him preoccupied with fresh plans to increase his comfort.

A Plan...
in bed the rich
and old couple is preoccupied with
their plans for
their death and
discussions on who should be heir
is finalized
meanwhile those outside the house
pretending to clean this and
that are thinking too plainly about
burial and
claims
they have also secret plans
of their own
because their own respective futures are
waiting
like someone without any backpack
at the train station
heading to the fun promised by the big city

Within
The comfort of one's place,
Does not come from the outside.
It is the comfort one has inside that reflects.
And that is kept rejuvenated from one's perception.
A development of one's peace of mind,
Over time is constructed.
And not determined by anyone's agenda.
The comfort kept that comes to one deserving is within.
'Any happiness I have is not based upon your decision.
I know this is traumatic.
And the more I stay away from that which isn't me...
I feel a peace increase I wish I could sell.'

Beach crab
Running, always running
in the breaking swell
while sheets of blue-green water
rushes in and out
he clings to his tiny shell
before the next wave breaks
and with foam and spray rushes in,
he stays preoccupied with survival,
preoccupied with life.

Romantic Romeo
Melancholy heart wavers
Like a sinking ship
From inward disappointment
Of life plans crumbling
On the unsavory streets
Of urban despair.
I dream of brushing
A beautiful woman’s hair
With the lavish possibilities
Of a millionaire,
But I daily catch curbside coins
Instead of the shimmering diamonds
I desire to place around her throat.
I’m never agitated for long,
Even though I have the empty stare
Of a preoccupied professor
At an archeological dig.
You would find me a sweet lover
In my little shack and poetry bed
Of hopeless resignation.
I know my insignificant place,
But I remain a romantic Romeo nonetheless.

Woohoo
Woohoo
Debbie just hit the wall
she never had it all
one Prozac a day
husbands a CPA
her dreams went out the door
when she turned twenty four
only been with one man
what happen to her plans?
She was gonna be an actress
she was gonna be a star
she was gonna shake her ass
on the hood of WhiteSnakes car
her yellow SUV is now the enemy
looks at her average life
and nothing has been all right
Springstein, Madonna
way before Nirvana
there was U2 and Blondie
and music still on MTV
her two kids in high school
they tell her that shes uncool
but she still preoccupied

Woohoo
(1985)
Woohoo
Shes seen all the classics
she knows every line
Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink
even Saint Elmos Fire
she rocked out to wham
not a big Limp Bizkit fan
thought shed get a hand
on a member of Duran Duran
Wheres the mini-skirt made of snake skin
and whos the other guy that's singing in Van Halen
when did reality become T.V.
what ever happened to sitcoms, game shows
(on the radio was)
Springstein, Madonna
way before Nirvana
there was U2 and Blondie
and music still on MTV
her two kids in high school
they tell her that shes uncool
'Cause she still preoccupied

Woohoo
She hates time make it stop
when did Motley Crue become classic rock?
(Classic Rock)
And when did Ozzy become an actor?
Please make this stop, Stop! Stop!
And bring back
Springstein, Madonna
way before Nirvana
there was U2 and Blondie
and music still on MTV

they tell her that shes uncool
'Cause she's still preoccupied

In the first period religious life appears as a form of discipline which the individual or a whole people must accept as an unconditional command without any rational understanding of the ultimate meaning and purpose of that command.

Individual societies begin in harmonious adaptation to the environment and, like individuals, quickly get trapped into nonadaptive, artificial, repetitive sequences. When the individual's behavior and consciousness get hooked to a routine sequence of external actions, he is a dead robot, and it is time for him to die and be reborn. Time to "drop out," "turn on," and "tune in." This period of robotization is called the Kali Yuga, the Age of Strife and Empire...

Comfort In Sound
We fall right in and suffer the sins
Try to pull things round when the air starts to thin
We nurse regrets, restricted in our own belief
A new disease
We shake new hands, the victims of fate
We tread new ground misfortune conveys
You tear yourself apart
Wishing to be born again
A different man
(chorus)
Comfort in sound
Its all around
Ease back the strain
Come heal your pain
Comfort in sound
Its all around you now
Comfort in sound
We suffer love together as one
An empty heart with nowhere to turn
We find ourselves looking back another way
A brand new day
(chorus)
Comfort in sound
Its all around
Ease back the strain
Come heal your pain
Comfort in sound
Its all around you now - yeah
Solution gone, emotions ablaze
A life so strong just faded away
You find yourself searching for a quick release
A new belief
(chorus)
Comfort in sound
Its all around
Ease back the strain
Come heal your pain
Comfort in sound
Its all around you now
Comfort in sound

Find Life
Find Love
It is the beauty of this life.
Find Peace
It is the anchor in any strife.
Find Hope
It will carry you through.
Find Friendship
They give joy, who are true.
Find Laughter
It is health for your mind.
Find Comfort
Even when you have been left behind.
Find Forgiveness
It always will set you free.
But the most important really
Never ever find... Fault.

Expectation of Reprisal
Are you trying to find a way,
To save what now exists?
Is that like a soul...
That has been tossed about in thoughtlessness?
And now finds a consciousness,
Collectively perceived beginning to slip?
One that has been insisted,
But resisted to produce and absorb...
The need for struggle and prolonged conflicts?
Is that like the undoing,
Of that which should not have been done?
Hoping that something said or taught,
Will erase with forgiveness,
And accept a wholesomeness that comes?
When 'you' are ready to get serious...
And release your nonsense,
Believed to bring a comfort...
When you are done,
With a self destructiveness
That has lost its fun?
Is the sting that has stung...
Too painful to accept?
Then you must have been satisfied,
With a numbness gone...
And you can't go on with feelings of regret!
But yet...
You were warned,
Your actions could not go on...
Without an expection of reprisal!
Felt deep to increase an understanding.
Although you perceive a prayer or two,
Will provide a new dawn,
To clear your view!
Is that what you think?
Who and what...
Taught this lesson to you?
'I've never seen this before!
Why are You patting Your foot,
Impatiently?
What are Your plans for us...
My Father?
May I get a sneak peek?
Will this be revealed to me? '

A Heart After God
A heart that looks at God above
Is always filled within
By the purest color of His love
And not by the shallowness of skin.
A heart that dwells with God all day
Has room there for His Word to keep
It always beats in Love to pray
And give to Him all due worship.
A heart that rests in God will be
In comfort filled with inner Peace
Its songs of Joy eternally
Flow from the Presence that is His.
A heart that hopes in God endures
Times of loss, or tears, or strife.
It knows His promises are sure
Here in this world and after life.
'For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you; plans to give you a hope and a future.' (Jeremiah 29: 11)

Making Plans
You say tomorrow youre going
Its so hard for me to believe
Im making plans for the heartaches
cause youre making plans to leave
The tears for me will be falling
Like a tree shedding its leaves
Im making plans for the tear drops
cause youre making plans to leave
Youre making plans to forget me
Im making plans to miss you
Im getting ready ti grieve
Im making plans to be lonesome
cause youre making plans to leave
Im making plans to be lonesome
cause youre making plans to leave
