In a sense, a hit belongs to the person who made it popular, but if a tune is good enough to attain tremendous success, then it certainly deserves more than one version, one treatment, one approach.

She Deserves So Much More
Her mom is a bitch
She deserves so much more
This is were I come in and give her all my love
She deserves so much more
She deserves to have a good stable life
And not the shaky one she has now
She deserves a good and loving family
And not one that treats her like shit
That is were I come in and give her all my love
She deserves so much more
Is it too much to ask
All she wants it to be loved
But no your in Wonder Land with Alice
Having a nice trip?
All she wants is to get what she deserves
And it sure as hell isn't you
That is were I come in and give her all my love
She deserves so much more
Why do you think she wants to leave the place so soon
Hmm... Let me think
Oh its because of you
This is were I come in and give her all my love
She deserves so much more
And it sure as hell isn't you

But, you know, the issues of humanity and what is fair treatment and good treatment of a fellow human being should not really be based on a personal sense of right and wrong or judgment.

In This Human World
In this Human World we live in ourselves with others we compare
But of what it takes to be a good person many do not seem aware
Few aspire to be better people though at what they do they want to be best
Many know of material success though many do not pass the good person test.
In this Human World we live in an often used word is success
As we seek the approval of others and others we want to impress
But most seek the success that comes with material possessions is this what life is all about
The idea of success to the majority is something that's open to doubt.
Few see success in helping the less privileged or for showing for them that we do care
Many see success in wealth accumulation yet too few for others their wealth does share
We come into the world with nothing and we cannot take our money with us when we die
The idea of what it takes to be successful is an idea that's based on a lie.
In this human world that we live in for material success many compete
Where many crave for recognition of being the wealthiest one in their street
But being the wealthiest person in your street or owning the biggest house or car
Does not tell us that much about you or of how good of a person you are.

Success | Wisdom Prose
Success should not be measured
by how much political or corporate influence you wield,
by how much money you earn,
by the material goods you possess,
or by how popular you are.
Success should be measured
by the level of positive influence you have over others for good,
by the levels of contentment and peacefulness you enjoy—
regardless of circumstances,
by the level of simplicity in your lifestyle,
and by whether or not you are a person of high moral character.

Father unequalled
No version is a better version
Than its original version.
No man is a better person
Other than one’s father
To be one’s mother’s husband.

No Ego Involved
I think I will approach my 'main' interests,
A little bit differently.
'How's that? '
I am going to pretend, publicly...
I have a wish to do one thing,
But sacrifice my time and efforts...
Doing what I love which no one suspects.
And achieve secretly,
Tremendous success.
'That will never happen.'
Why not?
'Because that kind of success,
For you...
Has not happened yet.'
Oh?
I did say 'secretly'.
And secrets revealed slowly to uncover,
Are the best ones to discover.
'You think so, huh?
And how is that? '
By words.
Words expressed,
Coming out of the mouths of others.
Disappointed by the lack of bragging attached.
'And IF that should happen,
That is the best kind of success to achieve.'
I know.
There is no ego involved to detect.

The American Popular Song
It's a popular song, an American popular song.
And there's something about it, can't live without it.
It's the tune of the day, somehow it takes you away
and it grabs you, and it holds you, feel it control you,
makes you want to clap your hands.
Makes you want to stomp your feet.
Makes you want to sing along. It means business.
The American popular song goes on and on.
The American popular song goes on and on and on.
It's a popular song. An American popular song.
A simple story wrapped up in glory.
Once you hear it you know you got to hear it some more.
And that's power, try it, you can't deny it.
Makes you want to clap your hands.
Makes you want to stomp your feet.
Makes you want to sing along. It means business.
The American popular song goes on and on.
The American popular song goes on and on and on.
It's a popular song. An American popular song.
It's a popular song, an American popular song.
It's a popular song, an American popular song.

Respect That Other Person
Respect that other person he doesn't disrespect you
He search for the path to success the hard road he's been through
You may feel his best not good enough but at least he's game to try
There's more to life far more to life than me, myself and I.
Don't begrudge that other person some respect to him show
He may not be a great success but at least he has a go
Before the child takes his first steps he has to learn to crawl
And on the uphill climb through life one can expect to fall.
Respect that other person he's a good sort of man
To make a success of his life he does the best he can
He works hard for his children and he's faithful to his wife
And he deserve some credit for making the most of life
Respect that other person for some respect he is due
For if you do not respect others, others will not respect you
He works hard for his family and he doesn't draw easy pay
And he is one who lives life in the good and honest way.

Angela King is a lovely person with a tremendous sense of art.
Popular..
Many teenagers think
That being popular should be with the way you dress
The way you walk
The way you attract the boys
And the way you make the noise
Many teenagers think
That being popular is by the way you treat the others with full disrepute
Or by being very thin and cute
Many teenagers think
That being popular is all about the way you talk about the others
Or if you’re wearing a silky top or shoes made out of leather
Many teenagers think
That being popular is by despising the quiet ones and making fun of the weird
And also to show that they can never be scared or feared
Many teenagers think
That being popular is by showing of your new jeans and vest
And many teenagers think
That being popular is a way to prove that you are the finest and best.

I'm not a very popular person. I was pushed to show the unfinished version of Brown Bunny in Cannes, against my judgement. And even though a lot of negative reaction to the film came from not setting up the presentation very well, I still felt responsible and disturbed. But Europeans are animals. Who cares?

A perfect drive
It leads to frustration and dismay
when people choose short cut or way
it not only brings failure but discredit
it is unwise step and not considered deem fit
No one can attain glory over night
he may have many reason to feel it right
it surely does not pave the way for success
even if you have ability or direct access
I was asked by someone to show some options
i suggested rigid method with strict adoption
they have no long sight to implement the drive
they half heartedly go for it and strive
I sense some trouble with hazardous short cuts
it increases problems with lots of if and buts
there is no scope for complete success
one fails to understand the situation and assess
It is no win no loss situation
you are there and there with its continuation
what else can prevent such sordid state?
it can not be attributed merely to fate
Some people are quick to grasp and act
they have fraction of second to react
little delay can cause lot of damage
it is surely then critical phase
It is rightly said 'Strike hard when iron is hot'
deliver he blow when real battle is fought
enemy must flee and be on the run
it is question of survival and not the fun
You can not afford to relax for a second
the situation may slip away and go beyond
it will be hard to retrieve the position
it may compel you to seek superstition
There is no alternate to hard approach
it may not be helped by an expert coach
you got to swim and reach the shore
you must have sense and ability to explore
No one can claim near perfection
it all depends on vigorous action
the result can swing in any direction
this is one of the strongest indication
No method can take you to safety
you have to add new features with variety
it can not be allowed to stagnate
it must confine to rules and strictly state
Sometimes short cuts can deliver astonishing outcome
this can be made exception and one time welcome
it can not be made as strict condition for all the plans
it must have full deliberation with careful glance
All will go well when adopted with full swing
some full surprises can be expected to bring
it is cent percent result with no loss at all
it is tremendous rise instead of nose dive fall

An idle mind
It is said”Idle mind is devil’s workshop”
You may go on thinking non-stop
It may travel across the globe
Unnecessary thoughts may engulf and make the probe
Any move made in haste results into flop show
You may feel like to take revenge and take vow
It is human tendency to think and adopt
To go in for quick results by showing action very prompt
How many things we would want to execute
We will be offering explanation for the charges to refute
It may go making futile search
There may be no body to come to your rescue and teach
No amount of arguments may satisfy you
You will not find any reason through
It will drag you for many more hours
You will be hitting sixes and fours
You should occupied with work always
In the long run it definitely pays
You may have set backs in your course
It may be momentary of course
You may suffer not because of your efforts
There may be many reasons for not making rapports
It doesn’t mean you lack expertise
You have everything but fail to rise
It may make you sad
You may also feel very bad
It is not the way to feel about
You must brace and face the rout
The success is bound to take place
It is human approach and common race
Everybody must try and attain
Digest the success and failure to contain
Things may move on swiftly as far as possible
The success must be cashed on as it is convertible
It may follow one after another
It may make you happy so need not bother
You may plan in your leisure
You may enjoy it with pleasure
It has nothing to do with success or failure
You are confident to win it for sure
Do everything whatever you want
Don’t curb your wishes if you can’t
Try and make attempts often and often
He may come to you’re your rescue and listen
Don’t leave everything to luck and fate
It may come sometimes very late
Possibly time is not ripe yet
Wait for it and afford the opportunity to let
We may think endlessly without any conclusion
It adds to uncertainty and confusion
It may lead us nowhere but to downfall
We may not be in position to respond to a call
Thin of it earnestly but not in air
It may not be worthwhile or fair
Success may be there but require tremendous work
All you should do is to think of it and not shirk

I am an enthusiast, but not a crank in the sense that I have some pet theories as to the proper construction of a flying machine. I wish to avail myself of all that is already known and then, if possible, add my mite to help on the future worker who will attain final success.

A Company C E O
A company C E O and seen as a success in life
But he beats his children and he beats his wife
And for his young mistress he buys a good time
But these things when you are wealthy are not seen as a crime
That money does speak every language in his case does apply
To be a good husband and father he does not even try
He may not be a good husband and father but that seems okay
As money more about you it seems more does say
Than compassion or kindness or morality can
He is seen as a good and a successful person though an immoral man
Far from a nice person though a millionaire
And that money speaks every language he is all too aware
Far from a good husband and father but never the less
He is a big Corporation C E O and seen as a success.

Thus far
I took treatment;
The body-ache was gone; with it the winter too.
I took treatment;
The allergy was gone; with it the spring too.
I took treatment;
The acnes were gone; with it the summer too.
I took treatment;
The gastric was gone; with it the autumn too.
Sometimes I got fortunes.
Sometimes I was spared.
Sometimes I was rescued.
Sometimes I got miseries reduced.
I ascribed all to my God I believe.
With time I have grown thus far.
With faith I have stood thus far.
