Put To A Test
you put my love
on top
of this crucible
you put it
on fire
you blaze like
a fire in the forest.
i turn to red
porcelain
it is hot as hell
(as though
i was once there)
you form me
in the shape of
your love
i turn to fluid
and then after this
crucible test
i turn solid again.
there is not much change
inside, though
i feel stronger.
break me for i am yours.

Suspicion
So many times
Ive asked myself the question
Hiding in plain sight
Is your love another self-propeller perception
Burning in my mind
You dont know where Ive been
I count too many sins
To play de sad charade
Suspicion kisses you when I do
Though Ive never let you know
I only wish you knew what I knew
So we could both enjoy the show
Here in the crucible
Or could there be another explanation
Im not aware of
Or should I just ignore the situation
Call me in care of
I dont know where youve been
Your lies is paper thin
I see the truth erased
Suspicion kisses you when I do
Though Ive never let you know
I only wish you knew what I knew
So we could both enjoy the show
Here in the crucible
You dont know where Ive been
I count too many sins
To play de sad charade
Suspicion kisses you when I do
Though Ive never let you know
I only wish you knew what I knew
So we could both enjoy the show
Here in the crucible

The conflict of religions
Ram or Rahman, who is God?
Some said Ram; some said Rahman.
There was no conflict.
Some said only Ram and some, only Rahman.
There entered the conflict.
Whose followers are better?
There explodes the conflict.

Peace and Conflict
Peace is laughter ike a musical bell,
Conflict is people crying,
Peace is everything being well,
Conflit is people dieing,
Peace is a very wonderful thing,
Conflict can be used t pursue peace,
Peace is a sound that makes you sing,
Conflict is the least luxurious thing,
Peace is sought after
And sometimes found,
Confit is punishment,
Paying the price,
Peace is being on safe ground,
Conflict makes people with heart of ice,
Peace you find in your heart,
Conflict tears our minds apart,
So remember these words and you'll live well,
Peace is laughter like a musical bell...

Conflict Of Interest
How can you make such preposterous declarations.
That I have a conflict of interest?
When each and every interest I have,
There is not one conflict...
Have I ever expressed about them.
None!
And I would like to know this...
Who believes better than I do,
What my interests are?
'I 'think' you are misunderstanding,
Your position as treasurer of the committee.
You see...
You can not champion the act of integrity,
And then take the money you are trusted with...
To establish your own loan company.
THAT can also be construed as either theft or fraud.'
Well,
Make up your mind!
Are you accusing me of being a thief...
Without integrity?
Or one who maneuvers fraudulently with interest?
And may I add this to your unfounded claims,
Where am I suppose to have this conflict?
I am perfectly aware of my activities.
And I vehemently protest your absurdities.

No doubt there are other important things in life besides conflict, but there are not many other things so inevitably interesting. The very saints interest us most when we think of them as enganged in a conflict with the Devil.

A crucible for silver and a furnace for gold, but Allah tests the heart.
The Arab-Israeli conflict is also in many ways a conflict about status: it's a war between two peoples who feel deeply humiliated by the other, who want the other to respect them. Battles over status can be even more intractable than those over land or water or oil.

You've Changed
We've been through this before......
Compromise
With me agree right now
Useless cries
I'm telling you just how
Paralyzed
There is nothing I can do
I realize
I liked the other you.
You've changed
Everything about you is strange
Look at yourself, you've changed
With the facts in your face
It's causing conflict
You've changed
Everything about you is strange
Look at yourself, you've changed
With the facts in your face
It's causing conflict
Hypnotized
By all your complex games
Sacrifice
My own opinions change
Justify
Just why to stay with you
I can't see why
Nothing else for me to do
It makes no sense
Putting ourselves through all this
At my expense
Don't I deserve much less
It's way past time
To right the wrong we're in
The bottom line
No way that we can win
You've changed
Everything about you is strange
Look at yourself, you've changed
With the facts in your face
It's causing conflict
You've changed
Everything about you is strange
Look at yourself, you've changed
With the facts in your face
It's causing conflict
You brought it all, all on yourself, you're strange to me
[background vocal]
You brought on all this mess
My needs were not addressed
You caused so much distress
This much you must admit
You brought it all, all on yourself, you're strange to me
[background vocal]
You brought on all this mess
My needs were not addressed
You caused so much distress
This much you must admit
You've changed
Everything about you is strange
Look at yourself, you've changed
With the facts in your face
It's causing conflict
You've changed
Everything about you is strange
Look at yourself, you've changed
With the facts in your face
It's causing conflict
I'm not the one who changed
I'm not the one who changed

Beloved and the Sea
Swim into the sea of relationships
and see how plants and animals behave.
Among their own species, they live
in unity and conflict.
Swim into the sea of relationships
between man and woman.
Homo sapiens, as they are,
they too relate in conflict and unity.
For now they declare
their love in marriage
and tomorrow they dissolve their vows,
rejecting the beloved.
Oh, this sea of relationships
among humans - in harmony
and conflict, in pain and sorrow,
in joy, embrace and bed of tears!
'Is there another sea
where we can swim and bathe',
the poet asked.
The owl, up the tree, answered,
'No! Learn to embrace the lonely sea! '
