Sheer flattery got me into the theater. Flattery always works with me, particularly the flattery of women.

I am a politician
How many arrows of sarcasm are there in your armour?
Waste them upon me,
As I have lost my self-respect
Somewhere in the world of flattery,
Now I have become an object of derision in every eye,
My day begins with flattery and it ends with the same,
I am the most shameless person on the earth,
I can put anything at stake to grind my axe,
I am the one who is an eyesore to the people,
They hate me and call me filthy beast,
But it doesn't matter
As long as my interest is served,
Inspite of their hatred
In the election,
I manage their votes,
For I soften them by my servile flattery,
They will never cease hating me,
And I shall never flattering them,
For politics is my religion,
And flattery is my faith,
I am a politician.

Fatigue
Sometimes
I think
I could
Die out of
Fatigue
But then
I think,
How come
Fatigue
Never gets
Tired of me
Isn't it time,
It releases me?

I realised that God has placed Christians everywhere, to support each other, to support the needy in those areas, and that is the thing that I find is a great plus.

Sonnet 114: Or whether doth my mind, being crowned with you
Or whether doth my mind, being crowned with you,
Drink up the monarch's plague, this flattery?
Or whether shall I say mine eye saith true,
And that your love taught it this alchemy,
To make of monsters, and things indigest,
Such cherubins as your sweet self resemble,
Creating every bad a perfect best
As fast as objects to his beams assemble?
O, 'tis the first, 'tis flattery in my seeing,
And my great mind most kingly drinks it up;
Mine eye well knows what with his gust is 'greeing,
And to his palate doth prepare the cup.
If it be poisoned, 'tis the lesser sin
That mine eye loves it and doth first begin.

It feels like my job is to support people. I support great artists. When I worked with a symphony, I sat in the third chair, not the first chair.

The flattery of posterity is not worth much more than contemporary flattery, which is worth nothing.

Nothing in the world is harder than speaking the truth and nothing easier than flattery. If there's the hundredth part of a false note in speaking the truth, it leads to a discord, and that leads to
trouble. But if all, to the last note, is false in flattery, it is just as agreeable, and is heard not without satisfaction. It may be a coarse satisfaction, but still a satisfaction. And however coarse the flattery, at least half will be sure to seem true. That’s so for all stages of development and classes of society.

Love’s Fire
I knew you, when I thought I’d never be like you…
Learning how you “think-clear-through…”
You’re the “Brightest Star” in the darkest night.
You’re the Rainbow across the cloudless bright.
You’re the Prize, the Mark-, and Key-, my reality.
You’re my dreams “locked-up” in a mustard-seed.
You’re a “Map in the Sahara Desert, ” when I scheme.
You’re the “Painting of love” of all my day dreams…
Rose of Sharon, “You’re the garden” of my heart’s desire.
You are the “A-to-Z of me; ” The Living Catalyst of fire.
You’re the only support-, void of flattery, I have ever had.
You’re my Battery-charger- against most battles so bad.
You’re my Mentor- with loving patience when I’m blue.
Tell me, how shall I ever know-, a tender “love so true..? ”
You took me higher, and further, than the great-red-grand-,
Through waterfalls, streams, fun things; you still held my hand.
Enlightening my eyes to comprehend the pain, very clever too….
Though my poem ends; this love for you is “never ending…”
Thou great Creator, my sweet Soul-maker-, “my Friend-, ”
I will love Thee always, until the Heavens roll back- “and end.”

Your Biggest Fan
I'm your biggest fan
I will give all the support
That I possibly can
Willing to do things that
You can see
Like buying one of your mix Cds
Or things that you can't see
Even if you were to stare
Like my nightly prayers
Anything to show that I care
Just know that my support
Will not go anywhere
My friendship is not fairweathered
It's durable like tupperware
With the strength of DeMarcus Ware
You better believe I will always
Be there
Believe this it's not always about
What you can see
For it's the things that we can't see
That holds the most importance
Like air
Without it we would not last a minute
Never forget or doubt
Cause my support is like a winning
Ticket that's in your pocket
All you have to do is cash it
Never doubt the strength
Of hidden support
As they say in the game of Spades
The strongest cards are the ones
That you have not played
Just to let you know I am here always
I will do what
I can for a friend
