I was told I had an overabundance of original sin.

Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.

To tell something original.
She says, you are not original in what you are telling me
Any janitor in your office can always say that seeing that
It is different. I am original in this. I am feeling something.
I am original in this feeling and you do not feel it that way I see these things.
I am leaving you. It is the first time I am feeling this. It is this first time
That I am telling you. I am original. I have long searched what words to use
To tell something original.

An original something, dear maid, you would wish me to write; but how shall I begin? For I'm sure I have not original in me, Excepting Original Sin.

Copies are different originals
I take after my father but not his original.
I take after my brother but not his original.
Replicas are themselves original.

Originally Yours
challenged to be
original
i quit. i am not
original i am a xerox
copy of
another mind
i am a duplicate
of another carbon
copy
i am an imprint
of another zealousness
i use other people's words
i listen to
every syllable
and they all stay
inside my heart
like decanted
mass from acetic acid
from coconut
wine.
i am not original
i look at myself
in the mirror
i am not original
but i put on a smile
i am too
one kind of
a handsome
copycat.

Very few people are original. There's very little original anything out there. Because to be original means you have to stand alone.

No thought is original
Some are original, some inspired,
Some copied, some reproduced,
Some modified or expanded
The original itself is the seed
Of one’s impression of events.
Nothing is original.
New born is not the newborn.
It is the extension of the fused gametes.

A replica too is original
Maybe he takes after his father.
He cannot for that be his father.
The replica resembles the original
And is original from the original.
Don’t brand any as copied

Missionary Man
Well I was born an original sinner.
I was borne from original sin.
And if I had a dollar bill
For all the things Ive done
Thered be a mountain of money
Piled up to my chin...
My mother told me good
My mother told me strong.
She said be true to yourself
And you cant go wrong.
But theres just one thing
That you must understand.
You can fool with your brother -
But dont mess with a missionary man.
Dont mess with a missionary man.
Dont mess with a missionary man.
Well the missionary man
Hes got God on his side.
Hes got the saints and apostles
Backin up from behind.
Black eyed looks from those Bible books.
Hes a man with a mission
Got a serious mind.
There was a woman in the jungle
And a monkey on a tree.
The missionary man he was followin me.
He said stop what youre doing.
Get down upon your knees.
Ive got a message for you that you better believe.
(chorus repeats...)

In a country with an overabundance of food, no one should go hungry because of a lack of funds or technical and professional knowledge. We have the food, and we have the networks; we now need to support the providers.

No Poem Is An Original
No poem is an original
everyone who writes
poetry thinks their poem
was an original, it just so
happens that their poem just
surfaced to the top
of their mind first, so they
were able to write it.
Everyone has love, hate
compassion buried deep
in their soul.
Poets are able to bring
all of this to the surface,
to construct, add the words,
but it is not an original
idea, for the poet because
they wrote it now, it
becomes an original for them.
Who has not heard a song,
read a poem, story or book,
seen a movie and said,
to themselves, hey I had
that same idea.
Only thing is, someone else
brought it to the surface
of the mind, and wrote it first.
Even this poem I'm writing
now is not an original
someone out there
has this idea buried
deep in their soul.
So if you have an idea
for a poem, get busy
write it, don't wait,
or you won't write an original
start today,
don't delay.

Christmas Song
You told me you would be here by my side
Warming my heart on this cold winter's night
Here I sit waiting beside the tree all by myself
You told me you would bring presents and treats(KROQ CD original)
You told me you would move heaven and earth(promo CD remix)
Cheering my spirits with homemade sweet meats(KROQ CD original)
Cheering my spirits with laughter and mirth(promo CD remix)
Here I sit waiting beside the tree all by myself
Oh, could you ever know how much I care?
Could you ever know that out somewhere
there's a boy who really hurts?
Since I've found you
I've found a girl
I've found a thorn
I've found a queen
Now I am warm

Christmas Celebration [top]
Christmas celebration
And all around the nation
Won't you stay with me tonight cause
I'm running out of fight
and the pagentry is such a bore
Carolers are singing
registers Ka-chinging
And the presents are in place
but I'd rather eat some mace
'cause the eggnog always makes me sick
You know how the story goes
you've seen it all before
That man is so obese that he can't get out the door
Christmas to perfection
I'm begging for some action
and the ringing in my ears
is the sound of Christmas cheer
and they've knocked me screaming overboard
