It is often wise to reveal that which cannot be concealed for long.

Reveal Yourself
Reveal yourself,
Reveal yourself,
Reveal yourself,
Reveal yourself.
Life on earth is so bizarre,
We must find a way to fulfill,
What we really are,
Yes its true,
I love you,
And theres nothing you do thats wrong,
Find values of your own.
Reveal yourself,
Reveal yourself,
Reveal yourself,
On the living room floor,
Reveal yourself,
Reveal yourself,
Reveal yourself,
Till there isnt anymore.
Reveal yourself,
Reveal yourself,
Reveal yourself,
For there are places even you dont know.
Reveal yourself,
For life is nothing but a movie show,
Or free yourself,
Your heart,
Your mind,
Your soul,
Your sanity,
Just got to see it,
Smell it,
Know that its reality.
Reveal yourself,
Reveal yourself,
Reveal yourself,
Doesnt matter anymore,
Reveal yourself,
Reveal yourself,
Reveal yourself,
Till there isnt anymore.
There are no rules where life is concerned,
Our past must be burned,
For theres nothing we have learned,
And its true,
I believe that we must all be free,
Immortal you and me.
Reveal yourself,
Reveal yourself,
Reveal yourself,
On the living room floor,
Reveal yourself,
Reveal yourself,
Reveal yourself,
Till there isnt anymore,
Reveal yourself,
Reveal yourself,
Reveal yourself,
And maybe youll go down in history.
Oh, how much longer must your life remain a mystery,
It doesnt matter if youre thick and fat or thin and long,
You must find out exactly where it is that you belong.
Reveal yourself,
Reveal yourself,
Reveal yourself,
Doesnt matter anymore,
Reveal yourself,
Reveal yourself,

On the living room floor,
Reveal yourself,
For there are places even you dont know,

For life is nothing but a movie show,
Reveal yourself,

Just got to see it,
Smell it,
Know thats its reality,

It doesnt matter if the world thinks youre right or wrong,
Reveal yourself.

Seek not to know what must not be reveal, for joy only flows where fate is most concealed. A busy person would find their sorrows much more; if future fortunes were known before!

In Knowing the Truth to Lay in the Kiln
Love the girl, keep her memory warm
Offer in sincerity a break from the storm.
No man who would call himself wise,
Would deny the beauty of the skies.
No man who would call himself sane,
Would allow another the keys to his pain.
Mechanical majesty will never impress
Those dressed in innocence fuelled purity.
Reveal through mystery secrets concealed
Smash the hour glass, know time unveiled.
In seeking the strength to lengthen denial
We do naught but weaken the defence of a smile
In knowing the truth to lay in the kiln
I retain an innocence within which I may swim.

A Wise Man
Streams of oil and rivers of honey,
Lakes of gold and oceans of diamonds,
Seas of cream and pond of love,
And like the poison of the serpents and the fangs of the vipers!
But the poor and forsaken are always around us,
And the heavens will reveal your love to me one day.
I have listened attentively to your sweet words but,
Will a wise man answer with empty knowledge?
And my lovely thoughts will teach you one day.
My love is inscribed in your books and you know your steps,
But will a wise man fill his belly with the wind? !
For i am still the one looking for your love all day long.

Do Not Reveal Everything
my love
do not reveal everything
keep the mystery
be just a shadow under the moon
on a clear night
be just the star behind some coverings of clouds
do not be too near me
neither too far
let there be a little distance between us
let us keep it that way
unrevealed not fully undressed
a little silk cloth on your breasts and your groins
oh my, i am filled with desire
you're sexier when concealed
desirable as ever
like the way i caress the tips of your hair

Do not reveal what you have thought upon doing, but by wise council keep it secret being determined to carry it into execution.
Love and Err
Open you up
Read you over
Carry you with me
Everywhere I go
Take you to bed with me every night
Hold you in my hands
At the place where you are bound
Fill my head, spellbind my mind
I might wear out your spine sometimes
But I could never put you down
Disentangle my hands
Like threshing oars
Enmeshing more
With the dizzying waves of a lunar storm ocean
Gravitational pull is warring
But the inner whispers of warning
Insist on restoring
This uniform motion
In between what you are
And what you are to me
Is a double standard that feels at one
In hard-won harmony
Found you hiding in a pile of choices
For so long I sought it
But never really bought it
Checked you out because you were the choicest
Thought about it and became cocksure
Your image flattered the stock clerk
But conspiring eyes and the gyre of voices
Are naught
But clatter and clockwork
Broken pieces concealed
Reveal the stainless steel of mighty truth
Unbending
The sheen of an unsheathed sword
Cuts the rope of hope like a cord
That has divided the noose
In spite of youth
Under those coveted covers
So often I've peeked inside of you
Forever unending
The wisest of wise
Counsel never to judge upon looks
I gripe to admit it's true
Society's beguiled us like crooks
They led me to believe that things like you
Only came to life inside of books

Wise Up
Got myself in this situation,
Im not sure about.
Climbing in where theres temptation,
Can I get back out?
I never can quite find the answer,
The one I want to hear.
The one that justifies my action
Says the coast is clear.
Something on the outside
Says to jump on in,
But something on the inside
Is telling me again,
Chorus:
Better wise up.
Better think twice.
Never leave room for compromise.
You better wise up.
Better get smart.
And use your head to guard your heart.
Its gonna get rough,
So you better wise up.
Take a look at your intentions,
When you have to choose.
Could it be that apprehension,
Might be telling you,
To back off now is better,
So take your heart and run.
But get your thoughts together,
Before they come undone.
(repeat chorus)
(you got to wise up.
You got to think twice.
You got to wise up.
You got to. you got to.)
To back off now is better,
So take your heart and run.
But get your thoughts together,
Before they come undone.
(repeat chorus)
So you better wise up.
Better think twice.
And never leave room for compromise.
Oh, you better wise up.
Better get smart.
And use your head to guard your heart.
Its gonna get rough,
So you better wise up.
(you got to wise up.
You got to think twice. (hohhhh!)
You got to wise up. (oh, yeah!)
You got to. you got to.)
So you better wise up, now....
(you got to wise up.
You got to think twice. (better wise up, yall!)
You got to wise up.
You got to. you got to. (oh, yeah!))
(you got to wise up.
You got to think twice. (better...)
You got to wise up. (oh, you better wise up, now....)
You got to. you got to. (ohhhhh, yeah!!!))
(you got to wise up. (hoo! hoo, hoo, hoo, hoooooooo-hoo!!)
You got to think twice.
You got to wise up.
You got to. you got to. (oh, got to show yo, yeah!))
(you got to wise up.
You got to think twice. (hoaa!! oowwwww!!!)
You got to wise up.
You got to. you got to.)

Rhino Skin
You need rhino skin
If youre gonna begin
To walk
Through this world
You need elephant balls
If you dont want to crawl
On your hands
Through this world
Oh my love if I reveal
Every secret Ive concealed
How many thoughts would you steal
How much of my pain would you feel
You need eagles wings
To get over things
That make no sense
In this world
You need rhino skin
If youre gonna pretend
Youre not hurt by this world
If you listen long enough
You can hear my skin grow tough
Love is painful to the touch
Must be made of stronger stuff
You need rhino skin
To get to the end
Of the maze through this world
You need rhino skin
Or youre gonna give in
To the needles and pins
The arrows of sin
The evils of men
You need rhino skin

Veils Are Removed
A divide quickly sliding,
To leave behind a limited consciousness...
With a lighting to dawn,
Upon that which had hid in darkness...
Brightening the minds of those,
Once opposed to a slipping of a grasp...
But now they have chosen,
To broaden with a widened scope on life.
Lifting away those hassels weighted.
With a beginning for them to show,
Avenues they had not thought existed.
Avenues they thought to them,
Were just too unrealistic.
But veils are removed...
Only when that time comes.
And that time...
Has come today!
To reveal that which is no longer concealed.

Three Kings and the Star of Hope
Three wise men of nowhere
Without medals and kingdoms to claim
From the East they marched forward
To find the child beneath the shining star.
Three wise men in their glorious attire
Journeyed long to find the shining star
Stopped by the soldiers of Herod`s iron hand
Ordered to tell where the child could be found.
Three wise men of hope without certain ground
Only guided by the shining star in their mind
Continued to journey to find the child
And met the shepherds who in their search came by.
Three wise men led by the shining star
Reached the stable to find the child
They offered their gifts- gold, frankincense and
myrrh to a child, cradled by voices of angels.
Three wise men in our time
Only with their names and gifts from their hands
Filled with hope from the shining star
Met Jesus, the child, the end of the
long journey so worthwhile to try.

Who Is The Propeller?
Is it that women reveal their body
More and more because men wish so
Or men started accepting it
Because women want to reveal?
Is it that men want women to reveal
Because by that they could vent their lust
Or women are desperate to tempt men
Because by that they could vent their lust.

I Am Glad That You Are Into Haiku
i must imagine
you sitting on a chair
facing the void
at the window
and then you see
what reality has long
concealed from you
was it a butterfly
that you have mistaken as
another leaf?

Through An Administrative Process
Stop and listen.
Learn and heal.
No one 'should' have their life,
Affected adversely...
By someone sitting behind a desk,
Making decisions as to who to destroy next.
Through an administrative process.
To affect one unsuspectong
One should first ask for a copy,
Of those records kept.
To review who has said what and why,
Before one allows oneself to get upset.
This will reveal comments intended to stay concealed.
And that person who deceives for whatever the reason.
Stop and listen.
Learn and heal.
With 'facts',
Before re-acting!
And in the presence of your lawyer.
If laws are still used to protect those with facts.

A Certain Girl By Naomi Neville
Theres a certain girl Ive been in love with a long, long time.
(whats her name? ) I cant tell you. (no!)
I cant reveal her name until Ive got her.
(whats her name? ) I cant tell you. (no!)
Well, Ive tried to get her time and time again.
We just end up as nothing but friends.
And theres a certain girl Ive been in love with a long, long time.
(whats her name? ) I cant tell you. (no!)
Well, theres a certain chick Ive been sweet on since I met her.
(whats her name? ) I cant tell you. (no!)
I cant repeat her name until I get her.
(whats her name? ) I cant tell you. (no!)
Well one day, Im gonna wake up and say,
Ill do anything just to be your slave.
And theres a certain girl Ive been in love with a long, long time.
(whats her name? ) I cant tell you. (no!)
Well, Ive tried to get her time and time again.
We just end up as nothing but friends.
And theres a certain girl Ive been in love with a long, long time.
(whats her name? ) I cant tell you. (no!)
Theres a certain chick Ive been sweet on since I found her.
(whats her name? ) I cant tell you. (no!)
I cant reveal her name until I get her.

Well now one day, get her time and time again.
We just end up as nothing but friends.
And theres a certain girl Ive been in love with a long, long time.

I cant tell you. (no!)
I cant tell you. (no!)

Too Much Truth Is Crude
There is nothing left to surprise...
Unless eyes have been closed,
To ignore false realities...
Resting still in accepting disguise!
And used as props,
To mask more lies!
One would have to visit a hypnotist,
To avoid a world that now exists!
With criticisms blindly thrown...
By those who sit on 'thrones' condoned!
Providing a comforting existence known,
To the ones who feel...
Too much truth is crude and rude to reveal.
Wounding to inflict and can not heal,
Conformed minds confined in fantasies concealed.
And disturbing an addiction,
That overwhelmingly appeals!
Boosted with zest and confessing zeal.

You Dont Have To Be Old To Be Wise
Ive had enough of being programmed
And told what I ought to do
Lets get one thing straight
Ill choose my fate
And its got nothing to do with you
The years are flying by and its time I got high
Took a sample of the good things in life
This is a chance
Im gonna take
Gonna kick out trouble and strife
I grow sick and tired of the same old lies
Might look a little young
So whats wrong
You dont have to be old to be wise
No I dont care that the people stare
Accuse me of going mad
Just get a long hard look into the mirror
Then, tell me now whos been had
The way things are going I wont get to show em
Go single all the times up to me
So its off with the ties
No compromise
Wanna taste what its like to be free
I grow sick and tired of the same old lies
Might look a little young
So whats wrong
You dont have to be old to be wise
I grow sick and tired of the same old lies
Might look a little young
So whats wrong
You dont have to be old to be wise
Alright, Im gonna gather my things
Go through the door
Live and let live from now on
At last a free hand, no longer pre-planned
I got a will of my own
I go as I please
Fend for myself
Pull all the stops, throw the dice
Out on my own, gonna go it alone
When I need it
Then Ill ask for advice
You dont have to be old to be wise
You dont have to be old to be wise
You dont have to be old to be wise
You dont have to be old to be wise
You dont have to be old to be wise
You dont have to be old to be wise
You dont have to be old to be wise
