Action
I'm not so young anymore
And I'm not so dumb anymore
If you've seen what I've seen
Then you'd understand what I mean
So don't say you're gonna call me if you're not
And don't say you're gonna love me a lot
And don't stell me that you think I'm really hot
If you want me for your girlfriend
Action speaks louder than words
Let's see what you can do
See if you are coming through
Before I'm giving in to attraction
I gotta check out the action
I wonder if you're equipped
And if you can't deliver the time
Then I'm gonna make you mine
Babe I won't complain if you're a little rough
But I will if you are not man enough
Gonna find out tonight if you're just a bluff
(If you want me for your girlfriend)
Action speaks louder than words
Let's see what you can do
See if you are coming through
Before I'm giving in to attraction
I gotta check out the action

Owusu
Reach out to someone and say 'Hello',
Then try to recriut a qualified person on your love!
For, i've got my mind on you and you've got me.
The reputation of your love needs an experienced person,
And you've got me with your nakedness!
For a picture worths more than thousands of words but,
Action speaks louder than words!
I love you intoto and,
Like the players and the workers;
I love you my sweet one and,
Like the lovers and the singers of this muse;
And i am the one qualified to take you on!

Embroidered Garments
A broken vessel,
Teach us your path;
And like the greetings to the children of men!
But, show us your ways to be on this righteous path always.
Don't be like the horse or the mule which has no understanding,
For the earth is established on seas and floods;
But, hatred is now seen in the eyes of many.
Why do you boast f your evil? !
For the green olive tree is standing and watching;
And like embroidered garments in the land of your muse.
Is this what you are looking for? !
Then, think twice before you carry along that gun;
For he earth is established on seas and floods.
My love is scented with myrrh, aloes and cassia;
But, action speaks louder than words! !
So, flee from evil things.
Try the reality,
Try the truth!
For the truth is for free;
And come and taste the sweet of love!
For, flattering lips are not needed over here,
But the request of the humble will always lead the way.
Incline your mind to my poems,
For, there is a crown of gold on my head;
And like the joy of the coconut in the land of my muse,
Because, action speaks louder than words!
Green is equal to yellow and blue,
Orange is equal to yellow and red,
Black is equal to red and blue,
So, try to learn from my muse always!
For you are my son and, this day i have begotten you;
But the humble ones will swim in my lake of love always.
I am among the lions!
But their own nets will take their feet! !
For, a shield will always surround me;
But, a cry of conquest is like a lomnely person in the wilderness.
Where is your hope? !
Tell me if your know;
For, i came out from my mother's womb to tell my story,
And like a champion to run a race!
But, evening, morning and at noon i do pray for my life on this earth.

A Fool In Love
There's something on my mind
Won't somebody please, please tell me what's wrong
You're just a fool, you know you're in love
You've got to face it to live in this world
You take the good along with the bad
Sometimes you're happy and sometimes you're sad
You know you love him, you can't understand
Why he treats you like he do when he's such a good man
He's got me smiling when I should be ashamed
Got me laughing when my heart is in pain
Oh no, I must be a fool
Cause I do anything you ask me to
Without my man I don't wanna live
You think I'm lying but I'm telling you like it is
He's got my nose open and that's no lie
And I, I'm gonna keep him satisfied
A wave of action speaks louder than words
The truest thing that I ever heard
I trust my man and all that he do
And I, and I do anything you ask me to

Louder Than Words
I have heard you say the words many times,
but your actions tells me your words are just a lie;
because actions speak louder than words.
If you love me why don’t you hug me?
If you love me why don’t I ever remember a kiss from you?
You say you love but actions speak louder than words.
If you love me like you say you do
why when I need a shoulder to cry on you just shrug?
And when I need a cheering section your voice is silent?
You say you love but actions speak louder than words.
To love someone does not me to say it in a card
on a birthday, Christmas or Graduation day.
To truly love some one you show them with
a hug, a kiss or a call just to say hi.
Mom, you say you love then you need to show me;
because actions speak louder than words
The Duties
Do not touch her,
She is man's wife;
Do not touch him,
He is a woman's husband;
With the integrity of my heart to write this poem,
Like the duties of a midwife.
Of a papyrus basket coated with tar and pitch,
Of Pithom and Rameses;
But action speaks louder than words.
Paradise awaits you and i am the open land for you,
But my love is an open book to the whole world!
Of the dowry,
Of the bride price,
Try to be as i am;
Like the duties of the midwives with a view to all mankind.

Silence 1.
Most times when I'm hurt,
My silence speaks for me.
She speaks very loud;
Even louder than a megaphone.
I choose to be silent, -
When most things happen,
Not because I cannot speak;
Nor that my words have evaded me,
But because in my silence-
There's a challenging power.
Sometimes in my fears,
When my heart is filled with love,
And my eyes with tears;
I learn to love, just like a dove.
My mouth moves to speak,
But is suddenly cut short by silence,
Silence in love, silence in fear.
Silence in tears, silence in joy;
And when I'm in this mood,
My silence stands so tall-
Even taller than a giant;
She makes her way; -
Even more than spoken words.
Spoken words of loud emotions,
They meet my silence-
And they tremble in awe.
I could hear those words;
They say to themselves,
'How art silence so mighty? '.

Turn It Up
[bairnson]
Its no good believing in somebody else
If you cant believe in yourself
You give them the reason to take all the power and wealth
Its no good you trying to sit on the fence
And hope that the trouble will pass
cause sitting on fenses can make you a pain in the ass
If theres something you find to believe in
Then the message must get through
So dont just sit in silence
When you know what to do
Turn it up. turn it up, make it louder
Turn it up. turn it up, make it louder
Theres no conversation if nobody speaks
And nothing gets done in the end
Theres no confrontation when fantasy makes you its friend
So much injustice, too many lies
We dont have to look very far
But nothing will change if we leave things the way that they are
If theres something you find to believe in
Then the message must get through
So dont just sit in silence
When you know what to do
Turn it up. turn it up, make it louder
Turn it up. turn it up, make it louder

My Life
I would really like to know you better
But sometimes Im afraid that its not meant to be
I would like to believe in something higher
But I cant get a grip on all the little things
When the night comes I cannot sit still you see
And the years they have not been so kind to me
Got a gallery of figures standing all in a row
And every single figure has a soul of its own
But I never look back
Never look back
Dont turn your back on me
(chorus)
(hey yeah) my life has come unraveled again
Like so many threads
(hey yeah) my life has begun unfolding
In so many pieces
(hey yeah) my life has come unraveled again like
So many threads in the wind - drift away - drift away
Theres a time and a place
For understanding
And a time when action speaks louder than words
And I dont seem to get no indications
And I dont know how to get through to you
And when time like the pyramids
Has worn away
All the mountains and the valleys
Of the words that we say
We have got to make sure that something remains
If we lose each other weve got no one to blame
So never look back
Never look back
Dont turn your back on me
(chorus)

The superior man acts before he speaks, and afterwards speaks according to his action.
Warasa
Today I heard
somebody say
“warasa”
and I thought
noisy in what way?
At times
people shout
to talk over distances
as if there is no way
to walk up to
each other.
On other occasions
silence speaks louder
than any words can.
[Warasa=> you are making a noise.]

Louder Than Words
Can you hear me not so loud a whisper
It seems as though it fades away before you hear what I have to say
Words can't offer you agreement
They're injustice to the songs you sing undermining your best intentions
Silence speaks louder than words sometimes but not everybody listens
It be known to all who'd only shut their mouth
Can you hear me now that I am screaming
I can't tell a difference made with that blank stare on your face
How do I explain what I am feeling
Just open up the cage today
It's a small price to pay
Although there may be indiscretion

My Root
Action speaks louder than words,
But a picuture wealths more than a thousand word.
Bring me home to the place that i belong to and,
Teach me how to fish for my daily food;
For each heart knows its own bitterness.
I am their byword and their object of ridicle,
Like the homes appointed to all the living;
But my glory will remain fresh within me always.
Oh, a harp turns into mourning;
And they remain silence for my counsel,
But my root is spreadout to the waters of love.
They waited for me like the summer,
Of men and women alike to learn from my muse;
But like the summmer rain,
I was rather like the winter rain on their joy.
To bath with cream and to sing for joy,
In the prime of my life to look for my root;
But i am the hope of the poor like,
Beni Nebal and Beni Shem.

Vaanii
Vaanii
You spoke of ‘vaanii’ as that speech
that follows true perception
with exact expression
in that glorious inner sound
that’s followed into action..
intrigued, I took the dictionary from the shelf..
and it speaks of music..
like - I hear from memory -
that roadside stream accompanying your walk,
whose music – ever changing,
ever a continuance of the same –
speaks of its source among the wooded hills;
speaks of the beauties that it passed;
and of its destiny, in merging with salt sea;
as Saraswati, goddess of wise speech,
protected now within the deepest stone;
that music that the head hears and obeys in reason;
that music which the heart hears in the voice;
that music dancing in the graceful action:
unmistakeable as truth, it has a name:
vaanii.

Lip Service
Words inspire and words destroy
Words conspire and words annoy
Words spread freedom and words detain
Words believe them in sound refrain

Words without action are words without meaning

Beating Of Hearts
Do you know what noise awakes you
Every morning from your bed
A-coming from the farthest hillside
A-coming from inside your head
You have heard
You have heard the loudest sound
In this and every world you can think of
Chorus: louder than tanks on the highway
Louder than bombers in flight
Louder than noises of hatred
Dancing us from darkest night is the rhythm of love
Powered on the the beating of hearts
And did you know you had this power?
Drumming on it always stays
Never try to use it badly
Tunes of good are all it plays
You have heard
You have heard the loudest sound
In this and every world you can visit
Chorus
For a heart without love is a song with no words
And a tune to which no-one is listening
So your heart must give love and youll find that
You shine like rain on the leaves youll be glistening
You have heard
You have heard the loudest sound
In this and every world you can think of
Louder than thoughts of dictators
Louder than rattling swords
Louder than loading of rifles
Louder than screaming warlords
Chorus

We are obliged, therefore, to say that whoever speaks that which is foreign to religion is using many words, while he who speaks the words of truth, even should he go over the whole field and omit nothing, is always speaking the one word.
Silence speaks louder than Words
sometimes God makes himself
so obvious we feel he has been
conversing with us for a very long time
before we actually lend him an ear and a heart
for God i think silence speaks louder than words
for when he really makes himself known
silence thickens to such an extraordinary volume
what is there, minus the silence and us,
is really the Almighty
