There are only three sins - causing pain, causing fear, and causing anguish. The rest is window dressing.

My Love For You
You are the nail,
That peirced my bleeding heart,
Causing my death,
And now my love for you will never be the same,
You are the very torch,
Yhat burned my soul,
Causing me to drown in darkness,
And now my love for you will never be the same,
You are the pain,
That beats me everyday,
Making things worse for me everytime,
And now my love for you will never be the same,
You the blade,
That cut every vein in my body,
Causing a foutain of red to flow out,
And now my love for you will never be the same,

State Of The Nation
You can walk, or you can run
You dont have to be someone
I went on a summer cruise
Upon an ocean born to lose
My brother said that he was dead
I saw his face and shook my head
Can you see where we cant be
Were losing our blood in the sea
cause its the state of the nation
Thats holding our salvation
Yes, its the state of the nation
Thats holding our salvation
Oh, the state of the nation
Is causing deprivation
Oh, the state of the nation
Is causing deprivation
From my home I traveled far
I drove in my stolen car
When it broke down, I kissed the ground
cause I dont kiss when youre around
I dont find that I have been
The portrait of an only son
If thats the case, then who could tell
Where my story had begun?
Cause its the state of the nation
Thats holding our salvation
Yes, its the state of the nation
Thats holding our salvation
Yes, the state of the nation
Thats causing deprivation
Oh, the state of the nation
Thats causing deprivation
Even now, Im all alone
Behind a wall thats made of stone
I think about where we have been
And all the sights that could be seen
I know it all could be worthwhile
If only I could force a smile
Now we turn our backs to the sea
The shame of a nation well never be
Cause its the state of the nation
Thats holding our salvation
Yes, its the state of the nation
Thats holding our salvation
Oh, the state of the nation
Is causing deprivation
Yes, the state of the nation
Is causing deprivation

You've Changed
We've been through this before......
Compromise
With me agree right now
Useless cries
I'm telling you just how
Paralyzed
There is nothing I can do
I realize
I liked the other you.
You've changed
Everything about you is strange
Look at yourself, you've changed
With the facts in your face
It's causing conflict
You've changed
Everything about you is strange
Look at yourself, you've changed
With the facts in your face
It's causing conflict
Hypnotized
By all your complex games
Sacrifice
My own opinions change
Justify
Just why to stay with you
I can't see why
Nothing else for me to do
It makes no sense
Putting ourselves through all this
At my expense
Don't I deserve much less
It's way past time
To right the wrong we're in
The bottom line
No way that we can win
You've changed
Everything about you is strange
Look at yourself, you've changed
With the facts in your face
It's causing conflict
You've changed
Everything about you is strange
Look at yourself, you've changed
With the facts in your face
It's causing conflict
You brought it all, all on yourself, you're strange to me
[background vocal]
You brought on all this mess
My needs were not addressed
You caused so much distress
This much you must admit
You brought it all, all on yourself, you're strange to me
[background vocal]
You brought on all this mess
My needs were not addressed
You caused so much distress
This much you must admit
You've changed
Everything about you is strange
Look at yourself, you've changed
With the facts in your face
It's causing conflict
You've changed
Everything about you is strange
Look at yourself, you've changed
With the facts in your face
It's causing conflict
I'm not the one who changed
I'm not the one who changed

Winds Of Fate
The ill winds
of fate
keep howling.
straddling
the sea shore.
attacking
the water.
causing the
tide to
become
nervous.
angry screams
are heard.
echoes crying
in the
night.
ever gathering
fragments.
carrying them
afar.
causing
my search
to
continue.

A shy boy
I wished to be a shy boy
Stay at home and silently play with toy
I was hesitant to mix with people
Yet it was nice arrangement without any trouble
I offered no hurdle of any kind
Yet people took it seriously to mind
I grew with enough of concern
Now it was their ire on me in turn
It was causing me internal pain
It was wearing me out and causing drain
I rebelled and thought of repelling attack
As if something was aimed at or at stake
I was not feeling sorry
It was causing me no worry either
I had decided to counter the move
To rise to the occasion and prove
I thought of running away
Keep aloof from people and stay
In isolation with no connection
Study with sincerity and put into action
I do believe in luck
But it won’t help if you are struck
You will have to cruise and reach the shore
Even if it is disabled and needs to anchor
I believe in destiny
But loose to crowd like many
I loose the patience and hastily act
It makes people to gang against and react
One must stay among and fight
This course seems to be very right
You may certainly find the light
When bright sun appears in sight

A Republic Fear
articulated people
led off
wherefore thereoff
into
and fed not thereof
from simple a truth.
fear i have fed you
too fear,
it is easier to control
your fear of you, your
deeds of my mistrust.
teaching all the young
why are they taught
to fear,
of they, whom can trust.
hurting us, do you fear
us/why?
and thus in the hurting
i fear why you fear me.
must it always be when
you wrong me.
you fear what you know
you have not done,
and have i wrought.
and causing my pain
you despise me.
for doing it naught
the front, the back.
and they of us, whom are
good and you counting
on that to more or less
do what, pray tell i ask.

My Darkest Fear
My greatest
And darkest fear
That I have
Can never appear.
For the fear I have
Is that I will harm
Those whom I love
And care deeply for.
I fear I will lose
Those closest to me
By causing them pain
That is stronger than me.
This fear of mine
Is the one thing
In my life
That I won't let happen.
So I know that I must
Keep fighting and fighting
And never give in
To my darkest fear.

Thoughts Just Thoughts0
Who am i?
A lonely vesicle
An open shell
Only to be filled with thoughts
Only thoughts
Thoughts capable of causing
Causing so much damage
Thoughts that falsify good intentions
Thoughts I hope will never cross
Even the darkest of people
But I continue to smile
It’s all we can do
But we are continually
Insisted to cry
We let our eyes fill
With salty waters
And lock those doors
We hide behind
Reassuring ourselves
Those others are on the outside
So we are stuck in this isolation
That is welcoming and intimidating
All at the same time we cry
We show our emotions
To no one but ourselves

Is This The Type Of Person
Is this the type of person you wish your son to be
A person who is responsible for creating many a refugee
Another tainted leader who abuses his power
So many have to suffer for his most glorious hour.
Is this the type of person that you really admire
the fear of other races in his fellow citizens he inspire
'Twould seem that for your offspring your dreams are not big at all
The future generations of historians fear and war mongers won't recall.
Is this the type of person you wish your son to look up to
There surely will be better things in life for him to do
Than causing death and suffering done by others in his name
Is this what you wish for your son is there no greater fame?
Than causing great unhappiness when the bombs of death rain down
To innocent civilians in some distant foreign Town
Your son deserves far better despite for him what you desire
And to far greater things in life he surely might aspire?

Shes Always There
(l. stansfield/i. devaney)
She feels such pain when you say goodbye
Nearly goes insane
When you cant look her in the eye
And its plain to see
That shes being used
But shes always there and she love you
Rest up here a little while
And Ill convince you that you need my time
Dont play games with aching hearts
Shhh not another word
Let me talk
Ive been close Ive been watching you
Watching every little thing you do
Dont you realize youre breaking hearts
Shhh not another word
Chorus:
She feels such pain when you say goodbye
Nearly goes insane
When you cant look her in the eye
And its plain to see
That shes being used
But shes always there and she loves you
And she cries
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na
How can you go through life this way
Causing hurt causing pain
Think of your baby and not about yourself
Shhh not another word now
Chorus
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Dont play games with aching hearts
Shhh not another word

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na

Hate and Death
Thou shalt not hate,
For Hate is Death,
And Death is a horrid thing.
So Hate and Death are partners-
In an ugly vicouse ring.
They dance and snarl,
And knash their teeth,
And wave their snake-like tongues,
To tease and hurt and bite you,
And such air from your lungs.
They giggle and spit,
And jump and skip,
'Cause they are nasty brothers;
Death causing hate-
Hate causing death
They must love one another.

The Daily Blah...
'The Daily Blah...'
With sound not heard
Yet so absurd
As to enlighten
Or just frighten
Fashioned in the word obtrusive
Rarely caught and so elusive
Eloquent it's very manner
Never finest use of grammar
Soundbite each and every nation
Uttered without hesitation
Selfish in it's very form
Like a baby newly born
Sucking life
Causing strife
Telling lies
Causing sighs
Lawsuit filed
And so reviled
All in Daily Blah's agenda.

Beauty
Where is all the beauty gone, I’ve looked both high and low
It is so hard to find these days unless you really know
So much war and hate in our land, it’s hidden itself so well
You will find it not skin deep, but the heart so pure it will dwell
Not just on a pretty face, and one groomed so fine
But one who does good deeds, which helps to lead the blind
One who would give his last crumb, or the clothes off his back
And doesn’t want recognition or others to keep track
The pure in heart will feel the pain of his brother
And his pay will be knowing that he helped another
I’ve lived at times in poverty, and at times excess
But the happiest times were when another I could bless
To help your fellow man, brings beauty into ones life
You could makes ones life easier without causing strife
This hating and fighting is just causing all pain
Happiness helping others out is where true beauty will reign!

Our Sins
Our sins are leading us away from the truth!
Our sins are causing all the troubles in this world,
Our sins are bringing about all these wars around us,
Our sins have torn us apart from love! !
And, we now hate each other in this world.
Glabal warming! !
And, it is all because of our sins;
Our sins have really destroyed everything around us.
Just watch the news!
Just listen to your neihbour!
Just look around you!
Just see how much hatred is being expressed among us!
Our sins have torn us apart from love.
Scenes, sins!
Of the scenes of life full of many troubles;
All in the name of our sins.
The Creator, whose Original Name is Yahweh,
Created us all with true love in many colours;
But, our sins have led us to hate each other on this earth.
Famine, disaster, sickness, accident, drought!
And all the global warming seen around us;
Are all caused by our sins because,
We failed to follow the Laws of Yahweh.

Pain has no Mercy
My face pale - months of pain has left its creases
on the hollow features of grayness appearing.
Pain has no mercy not today, not when I sleep...
...pain enjoys to haunt me - seemingly laughing at the
youngester in me that has dealt with dull sharp aching pain.
I fugitively hope it'll disappear within time...it must.
It shan't linger on and on into the paleness fading away
of this pain-stricken creature that grows
still with every passing moment as
the pain bolts like the flash of lightening
through the body -
giggling behind its hands.
He draws attention to the faces glaring into mine -
'Oh pain' I shout 'go away, i've had enough
with your daunting tricks! '
Colour drains out - like a spiral of hot water flowing down
the bath tub.
Nights are restless -
pain screeches in all my sides
the day wakes up with a painful leap
out of bed...
continuation of the pain -
some days it improves other days it
stays ignorant:
that Pain has no Mercy!
Pain has no Mercy crawls with me to bed -
and leaps out of bed with me -
holding my hand as if we were best mates!
Ha! I disagree -
this pain 'disappear before i wrench myself
away from you horrid thing.'
Pain has no Mercy
no mercy for the pain he is causing.
Causing the dint in her face - the pain,
the pale, tired look of worry, agony.
Pain has no Mercy.
'Go away pain - before i yell into
the looming distance! '

file of rocks keep me warm
diverting wind from my face
howling push me deep inside
my persian rag cradled by stones
with my prayers go away please
i want to rest my body in peace
maybe moon face is scaring them
or it's causing pain in their mind
inborn fear to be seen in darkness
i heard them howl at daytime but why
i'm not gifted to know maybe you can

The Dog That Is On Heat
you cannot leash a dog that is on heat
that would be a lot of trouble
that bitch will bark the whole night long
as though telling the world that you are killing it
you cannot keep it inside your room
it is spreading its scent across the road
and all the males of the neighborhood are sensing
waiting outside the fence
of iron grills
the dog bites the door and so you open it
it slips its body on the iron grills of the fence
and there she gets her own taste of life
surrounded by all the barking males
causing war among themselves
causing so much stir in the neighborhood
as though she is the Helen of Troy
that bitch dog of yours.

Trial and Tribulation
If you allow yourself
To sink and wallow
In misery and fear
It will surely overcome you
Until you slowly disappear
Return to me,
I beg of you
You'll always have
A place here
Don't let the world tell you
Who you are
Don't let the world decide
who you're not
Sadly, you're still battling
Demons
Everyone else has already
Forgot
So preoccupied in the race
To catch up
That you only end up falling
Further behind
Carrying the weight of the world
Upon your shoulders
With nowhere to turn or hide
Darkness arises
And overwhelms you
Creating a heavy heart
Brewing trouble in your mind
No one but God
Is Judge and Jury
It takes time to heal
There's no need to hurry
Searching all the wrong places
Trying to fill your need
For love and validation
Causing so much devastation
It brings you to your knees
Repeating the same mistakes
All over again
Causing old wounds to reopen
And bleed
Learn your lessons
Walk through the pain
Look for the sunshine
As you walk in the rain
Once you've lived within
Such suffering
And come out on the other side
The victory of happiness
Belongs to you
The calmness from peace of Mind
Blessed you'll be with
Newfound appreciation,
For the Glory that is Life
