The bosses of our mass media, press, radio, film and television, succeed in their aim of taking our minds off disaster. Thus, the distraction they offer demands the antidote of maximum concentration on disaster.

The timing was terrible, and having one disaster after another didn't help. I think the pictures on television of the way in which the disaster was handled also helped to turn off the public and Congress.

Much Too Late to Stop an Escalation
Too late it is,
To reverse their biased decisions made...
Against the one,
Who came to save them from disaster.
Much too late,
To stop an escalation of a celebration...
To depict themselves,
As winners of an achievement.
When that achievement defeats,
Their own perceptions.
Foolishly allowing their limitations to succeed.
And all their worthless bickering,
Now wounding those who also cheered in glee.
Eyes onced narrowed with minds closed now see...
The one they mindlessly victimized,
Was the one who tried to prevent their grief.
Too late it is,
To reverse their biased decisions made...
Against the one,
Who came to save them from disaster.
And the ones who declared a victory...
Are the ones who themselves deceived.

Beautiful Disaster
He drowns in his dreams
An exquisite extreme I know
He's as damned as he seems
And more Heaven than a heart could hold
And if I tried to save him
My whole world could cave in
It just ain't right
But it just ain't right
Oh and I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful
Or just a beautiful disaster
He's magic and myth
As strong as what I believe
A tragedy with
More damage than a soul should see
But do I try to change him
So hard not to blame him
Hold me tight
Baby hold me tight
Oh and I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful
Or just a beautiful disaster
I'm longing for love and the logical
But he's only happy hysterical
I'm searching for some kind of miracle
Waiting so long
Waiting so long
He's soft to the touch
But frayed at the ends he breaks
He's never enough
And still he's more than I can take
Oh and I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful,
He's such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful,
Or just a beautiful disaster
He's so beautiful
Oh he's just so beautiful
He's so beautiful

Typecasting Factor
There has been achieved,
The worst oil disaster in recorded history.
And with this accomplishment,
All eyes can see...
It will become extremely difficult,
To accuse others as being incompetent.
With a developed concept,
To implement as an instrument.
Running away from accountable responsibilities,
Had in the past been a priority used effectively.
But a duping with a hoodwinking successfully done...
Is today not that easily to inflict on minds to believe.
This disaster has a typecasting factor!

If you know then it's a disaster, and if you don't know then it's a greater disaster.
There is a cultural factor promoting violence which nowadays undoubtedly is highly effective is the mass media. And particularly everything that enters our minds through pictorial media.

If you have a major disaster involving hundreds of thousands, or in this case millions of people, whether it be a natural disaster or an act of terrorism, the first 72 hours are going to be totally chaotic no matter what you plan to do.

Going There
Of course it was a disaster.
The unbearable, dearest secret
has always been a disaster.
The danger when we try to leave.
Going over and over afterward
what we should have done
instead of what we did.
But for those short times
we seemed to be alive. Misled,
misused, lied to and cheated,
certainly. Still, for that
little while, we visited
our possible life.

Having said that, I believe we must not compound the natural disaster of Katrina by creating a fiscal disaster in Congress - it is our duty to ensure that we reign in other government spending in any event, and especially in this time of national emergency.

Sonnet: Boss’ Day (Oct.16)
Some bosses do not know what fairness is!
Some bosses want to be corrupt in life;
Some bosses work endlessly without bliss;
Some bosses cut their employees like knife!
Some bosses do not want to be honest;
Some bosses talk but do opposite things;
Some bosses do not want workers to rest;
Some bosses live a lazy life like kings!
Good bosses are good administrators;
Good bosses think of employees’ welfare;
Good bosses are not liars / orators;
Good bosses serve their employees and share.
What sort of boss do you prefer to be?
A boss must live a life exemplary!
Dedicated to all bosses world-o'er

Lost in this world
Lost in this world
World of disaster
Disaster of the reality
Reality of human nature
Nature of wild animal
Animal without sense
Sense of care and love
Love replaced to hate
Hate is the world tag
Tag to kill and destroy
Destroy is disaster
Disaster in lost world
