But on second thought, after I decreed the state of emergency, I came to the conclusion that that was impossible to achieve without bloodshed because the street protesters were full of anger and nearly out of control. This is why I thought we needed to find another way out.

Impossible Dreamer
The street was loud
From an angry crowd and
I thought of you, I thought of you
Dreamer
Land of the free
No hungry bellies
Impossible
Impossible dreamer
In the darkest part of the night
Blue shadows conjure you
And in the brightest height of the daylight
Sometimes I blink cause I think I see you
Dreaming like you do
The moon was bright
Like day for night
And I thought of you
I thought of you
Dreamer
No acid rain
Love without pain
Impossible
Impossible dreamer
In the darkest part of the night
Blue shadows conjure you
And at the brightest height of the daylight
Sometimes I blink cause I think I see you
Dreaming like you do
The room was dark
And full of sharks
And I thought of you
I thought of you
Dreamer
Give peace a chance
Dont think just dance
Impossible
Impossible dreamer
In the darkest part of the night
Blue shadows conjure you
And at the brightest height of the daylight
Sometimes I blink cause I think I see you
Dreaming like you do

Thought
Thought, I love thought.
But not the juggling and twisting of already existent ideas
I despise that self-important game.
Thought is the welling up of unknown life into consciousness,
Thought is the testing of statements on the touchstone of consciousness,
Thought is gazing onto the face of life, and reading what can be read,
Thought is pondering over experience, and coming to conclusion.
Thought is not a trick, or an exercise, or a set of dodges,
Thought is a man in his wholeness, wholly attending.

Anger fills my heart and soul
Anger fills my heart and soul
Anger takes a mighty toll
Anger lessens but can never leave
Anger you hope to never receive,
Anger stays forever within
Anger acts with the might of all sin
Anger is deadly to all around
Anger gets mad at the thought of sound
Anger is the thoughts in my head
Anger that’s mine all should dread
Anger for me is different from you
Anger you see tells me what to do
Anger will sit and whisper in my ear
Anger he sits and tells me all that you fear,
Anger…
He is here
He’s here to stay
Anger is the hole
In which we lay
Anger is
And Anger will
Always be with us
He is in me, and he is in you
He can make you do
What he wants you to
Anger will make you
Make you cry
Anger can make you
Want to die
Anger can make you
Go insane
Anger….. ... A blood filled rain
No more anger
No more…..
Walk to the bright light
Shinning through that door…
Not knowing what’s in store
But even then
Anger lives on
But you… nevermore

The Libyans
Libyans demanding Gadhafi's ouster rallied to show their honest solidarity
With the people of the besieged capital marching without any coercive command
Under a hail of bullets, while the government moved to tighten its grip on Tripoli.
Gadhafi's troops attacked an air base that had fallen into the rebellion's hand.
Foreign mercenaries and Libyan militiamen loyal to Gadhafi had fought
To roll back the uprising against his rule, attacking two nearby great cities,
But rebels made new gains, seizing another military air base and Gadhafi have thought
That Osama bin Laden must be blamed for these upheavals and adversities.
The government had detained some activists to stop the demostrators to go on,
Seif al-Islam Gadhafi had warned the protesters of risk to ignite a civil war,
The speech was followed by a crackdown of Benghazi security forces, who fired on
Manifestants and marchers because they couldn't accept that situation any more.
The protesters throwing firebombs and stones had gotten on bulldozers and tried
To storm a presidential compound in order to achieve their fighting goal,
The attempt was repulsed by the armed forces in the compound which fired
On attackers and solders killing them, but at least the rebels have taken control.
The rebels have taken control of nearly the entire eastern half of the country,
As well as the cities close to Gadhafi's stronghold in the Tripoli capital.
Protesters have broken the clampdown pro-Gadhafi militiamen imposed on Tripoli
And the gunmen roaming the street, shooting people on sight, have been very brutal.
The U.N. Security Council met to consider some possible sanctions against Gadhafi's
Regime, including an arms embargo and another important trade sanction.
France considered that the violence of pro-Gadhafi forces must be punished
And Libya's 11-member Arab League mission also announced its resignation.

Very Last Thought
What is the very last thought
that will cross my mind?
Drawing last breath, that thought
not anyone will find.
I'll take it with me
and let it inspire me
to keep me soaring high,
higher than the deep blue sky.
The thought alone is filled with love.
It will not break apart.
It will escape the body I leave behind
and seek a brand new start.
That thought will find its way
and travel to where you'll be
and when it finds its dsetination
that thought will become me.
The question in my last thought
will most probably be
whether or not you'll recognize
that the thought contains me?

Mubarak’s Television Speech Orders Coded Tahrir Square Attack
After ordering teargas, rubber bullets, baton charges
after secret police beat isolated protesters with iron bars
demonstrators continue to vent their righteous fury
fueled by repression, poverty, unemployment, corruption.
President Mubarak making public appearance on state
pose television said “It is not by setting fire and by
attacking private and public property that we achieve
the aspirations of Egypt and its sons but they will be
achieved through dialogue, awareness and effort.”
True protesters rejected your tactics adopted peaceful protest.

Burden
Always a do or die situation
You can only see in black and white
But you never thought, never thought that I'd be
A little different this time, and
Not every color that you will see
Is the real one every time
Let me clue you in on complexity
And everybody is so very fine
And I didn't mean to be a burden
Just thought I'd share a little light
But I thought you needed to know something
Something that comes from the inside
Something that comes from the inside
And as you wasted time playing detective
Is it to figure out my mystery?
Well let me tell you now that I'm no secret
'Cause I can sin before you righteously
And I didn't mean to be a burden
Just thought I'd share a little light
But I thought you needed to know something
Something that comes from the inside
Something that comes from the inside
Something that comes from the inside
Don't grow bored too quickly
I haven't finished yet
I know it must be painful
To hear what's left unsaid
Don't refuse
It's no use
You can not run from this
Just sit still
And listen
Listen to all you missed
But it's always a do or die situation
You can only see in black and white
But you never thought, never thought that I'd be
A little different this time
And I didn't mean to be a burden
Just thought I'd share a little light
But I thought you needed to know something
Something that comes from the inside
Something that comes from the inside
Something that comes from the inside

Loves About To Change My Heart
I never needed someone
cos I always led a life of my own
Never waited for the ring of the phone
Never had anyone here
When I got home
But loves about to change my heart
Im waiting for the doorbell to chime
When I always lived one day at a time
I thought that I was getting on fine
Never felt I was alone
til you change your mind
Loves about to change my heart
Could a day be so long
When I always felt secure and so strong
And all the time as I went along
Never thought I would desire
So much to belong
Loves about to change my heart
Loves about to change my heart, ooh
Never ever thought the sky was so blue
Never ever thought Id feel so new
Always thought Id know what to do
But I guess I wasnt counting on you
What did I know
I always felt so much on control
I thought Id make it all on my own
Never thought I would forget
All I have known
Loves about to change my heart
Loves about to change my heart
Loves about to change, change, change
My heart...

When You Believe
- s. schwartz - babyface -
Wh:
Many nights we pray
With no proof anyone could hear
And our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understand
Now we are not afraid
Although we know theres much to fear
We were moving mountains long
Before we know we could
Oah yes
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
Its hard to kill
Who know what miracle
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe
Mc:
In this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seems like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
And now I am standing here
My hearts so full I cant explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought Id say
There can be miracles
When you believe
(wh: when you believe)
Though hope is frail
Its hard to kill
Who know what miraclea
You can achieve
(wh: you can achieve)
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe
Both:
They dont always happen when you ask
And its easy to give in to your fear
Ohhhhh
But when youre blinded by your pain
Cant see you way safe through the rain
Thought of a still resilient voice
Says love is very near
There can be miracles
(wh: miracles)
When you believe
(wh: when you believe)
Though hope is frail
Its hard to kill
Who know what miracles
You can achieve
(wh: you can achieve)
When you believe
Somehow you will
(wh: somehow somehow somehow)
You will when you believe
You will when you believe
You will when you believe
You will when you believe
Just believe
You will when you
Believe

Stand Up For Our Rights!
Walking through the same street day and night,
Knowing each and every pothole that knock the toes,
Picturesque alms bowls with sticky legs and sticks,
In front of the Gods, at the sides of the roads,
At the entrance to the hospitals and the bus stations,
Calling of mother heard even in the middle of the night,
For the leftover food, skeletal system covered with skin,
Active volcanoes with analog signals of hungry waves,
Digital human in the dwelling towers, hard of hearing,
The Streets full of acceptance, curses hurled,
The town full of visual displays, powerless clowns,
The state full of innocents, innocent of knowledge,
Management, the nation full of people, disabled in thought,
Thought that unable to say what they want and need.

Saying Impossible Is Insensible
You must firmly determine
'What, when and how to do? '
You must never undermine
Your own ability to do.
'O, this mind and body are mine
Let me bring them under my control
Only positive thoughts my brain will dine
They are to my body-machine petrol'
Never look back sadly in life
Instead firmly proceed ahead
Take in mind confidence-knife
To behead this worry's head
Vigorously try each and everything
Which others may say impossible
In achieving become a winning King
To prove saying 'impossible' is insensible
Whether you achieve it or not
You must never meekly stop
In worry-trap get not caught
If caught, you cannot reach the top
Bathe the brain with positive thought
And dress it with goals and desires
Never allow doubt to enter your heart
A strong mind doubt easily tires
Success is a huge hill
To climb it learn the technique
Possession of a strong will
Is really, undoubtedly unique
You must constantly practice
To achieve high range of perfection
All opportunities you must seize
For the completion of your mission
Never believe in luck
For luck will make you idle
Your ambitions luck will suck
As it is a brain-puncturing needle
So in this World one must live
With positive thoughts full of optimism
'Success will come' one must firmly believe
From hope success will surely blossom.

Say What You Want
aug,14,2010
to you i don't matter,
i'm a failure you don't have to accept,
i'm crazy and insane,
to do the things i've done,
i'm not as important as you are,
cuz you feel you are at the top,
i'm everything you want to be,
because you always play it safe,
you let people take advantage,
but pick on me cuz you think you can,
i find myself mature for letting things go,
but, when you see me,
i'm like your worse nightmare,
i hold to my word,
i thought you do the same,
but by the looks of it,
you thought i have forgotten,
everything we talked about,
and everything you put me through,
only linger because of the anger i felt,
when i thought i could trust you,
but all i gotten was empiness,
when to my suprise,
you were everythin i thought you would be,
and about me,
i know who i am,
and you missed your chance,
of completly knowing who i am.

Plenty Of Anger
There is plenty of anger inside of me
It has to stop
Why is there so much anger inside of me?
My anger is part of my frustration
I have to control it now
My anger causes me plenty of trouble
There is plenty of anger inside of me
And what is anger do I know?
Anger is a strong feeling of displasure
It is a grief that I have inside of me
How can I control it?
What triggers my anger?
Can I recognize it?

Mad Professor Blyth
Mad Professor Blyth is working on his pet invention
to dematerialise himself into the fourth dimension
He's got his mind set on illusion
to find the secrets of diffusion
Conclusion: he disappeared
Tried it on his cat one grey night when it was foggy
Never got it back Oh what happened to his Moggy
He's got his mind set on illusion
to find the secrets of diffusion
Conclusion: he's disappeared
All the kids around about his neighbourhood
used to laugh at him and call him names
Silly old bat freaky four-eyes
sort of things they used to shout
He can't hear them now
He's disappeared
Colleagues at the lab
they all thought that he was crazy
Don't know where he's at
His formulas to them are hazy
He had his mind set on illusion
He found the secrets of diffusion
Conclusion: he's disappeared

What Mattters
In the silence of myself
I find that the game
Was not worth the fight
For what I thought was needed
Wasn't what was needed after all
Everything gathered becomes
Old, lost and broken
No longer useful
What was really needed
Was lost long ago
When we said goobye

Dreaming The Impossible...
i never stop dreaming
the impossible
in fact, it is the impossible
that makes me
alive, the possible only
reduces me to a dot, a
sentence so dull because
everything is clear we
must look for what is missing,
for they are not here yet not
sleep and grapple with
what are so boringly obvious,
dreams on waking hours,
well thought of, in full details,
what if, so well, try again,
failures are projectiles.
