Today's scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality.

How did Biot arrive at the partial differential equation? [the heat conduction equation] . . . Perhaps Laplace gave Biot the equation and left him to sink or swim for a few years in trying to derive it. That would have been merely an instance of the way great mathematicians since the very beginnings of mathematical research have effortlessly maintained their superiority over ordinary mortals.

Things
Things aint what they used to be now I believe in all extremes
three
Let's never try to solve it babe ~ the equation of you plus me
Things aint what they used to be can you believe it all we've seen
Things aint what they used to be it's theme park living A to Z
Let's never try to solve it babe ~ the equation of you plus me
(chorus)
It's all the same we're here today yesterday is just a dream
It's all the same we figured out what to take and what to leave
For the honey bees
Things aint what they used to be no money and no guarantee
Things aint what they used to be our future's in a cup of China tea
Let's never try to solve it babe ~ the equation of you plus me

My Equation Is One Gain To Two Losses
my equation is one gain to two losses!
&
unbelievables do happen
before my stunned gaze!
the bubbles of dreams of yesterdays
yes, they are buds of reality now!
i ask myself million times
' is it true? am i awake and conscious?
there can no more be disbelief-
two valiant silences tear away the mighty egos
and coo a melody of affection-
how could it be?
' excuse me; i have done you wrong all along'-
'o no..i have nothing in my mind '-
there is no hand shakes
but embrace of hearts in heavy silence!
no postmortems needed;
we are alive to love and affection;
we are no more in mortuary of hatred-
soft peace settles gracefully on my soul.
i salute god for the blessing
but god wears a mischievious smile
your equation is to be ever
one gain equals two losses-
yes, the shocks of two bang on my heart!
i wither again in pain and grief
and say, 'everything must have a meaning
beyond the confines of my knowledge! '
o god when can my equation be
one loss to one gain?

The X And Y
You're own your own now
Touch and go
Like an old proposition
You cover distances
Looking for the right angle
Or way by which you may complete
The equation
To solve the unknown
The equation is like a long river
Without banks
It appears calm but cold
You are an irony
Warm at night
Cold at noon
In the brightness of the whole day
Yiu cover yiur face with your scared hands

Education
I'm questioning my education
Does my education know what I'm now?
While you're deciding, I've been finding
Looking around in the here and now
If I'd been talking from the beginning, would my fears now be winning?
I'm questioning my own equation
Is my own equation relevant somehow?
The flags a waiving the news is breaking
See the man who cant pick out his own tire
If I'd been talking from the beginning, would my fears now be winning?
A wild world figuring out the answers Ill be in my own dance
Im questioning my education
Rewind and what does it show
Couldve been the truth, it becomes you
Im a seed wondering what grows

The algebra of poetry. For Jim as if.
OK you’ve written 2000 crap poems you say.
Now pack up this arithmetical stuff:
there’s an algebra to poetry:
equations full of unknowns:
for a start, the 2001th poem that you write
will contain 2000 times the…
well it’s a complicated equation:
it starts with the familiar
x for the expression which has improved
a thousandfold since you began;
y stands for the hundreds of times more wise
you’ve since become, by just writing poetry;
zzz is the way, that half-asleep,
an unforgettable word or line can slip into your head;
z too, for zeal and zest, that Muses love
and fly a little closer while you write..
then, it wouldn’t be a real equation without
‘squares’: for all that’s squared within your mind as poetry takes shape;
and brackets: for that intrusive, brilliant phrase
that slips between the wagons of your train of thought,
sometimes so surprising that you’re not too sure
it’s true; but trust it; tomorrow, know it’s right;
and oh so much more to this equation
of knowns equalling unknowns, spelling out a poem;
mass, energy, and the speed of light
writing themselves into some new formula
which only humility may harness;
a light to light the world with words.

Postmodernists believe that truth is myth, and myth, truth. This equation has its roots in pop psychology. The same people also believe that emotions are a form of reality. There used to be another name for this state of mind. It used to be called psychosis.

Not too hollow
A promise not too hollow
Relation to grow and allow
No restriction of any kind
As can be seen even by blind
Love is divine gift
It finds no way or shift
It just takes place
There is glow on face
Love is for loving and not leaving
It is for the joy and pain relieving
No matter how much hurdle you face
Nothing should separate us in any case
It is holier than holy to keep the relation
It can find any suitable equation
It is same in hope and despair
One broken can not be repaired
It may find long wait
But can’t be sealed by fate
Let the spring come very late
When flowers zoom I will openly dance and state
I live for tomorrow
Today I may have to lye low
There is high hope for lovely future
I am confident and very much sure
I am very much optimistic
The same position can not remain static
It has to go away for holy reasons
The joy is to be shared by two persons
Hold in arms wherever you go
The wind may also help and blow
As rive has calm and natural flow
Face may might up and find beautiful glow

Two To The Power Of Love
(duet with cliff richards)
Janet: I know we just met, but I feel like Ive known you before
Cliff: but something about you my heart has been searching
Janet: I dont understand it, its over my head
Cliff: so dont try to solve it, just feel it instead. ooh
Chorus:
It isnt really such a mystery
Anyway you add it up it turns out to be
Attraction automatic, a simple mathematics
Two to the power of love
Janet: I look in your eyes and everything falls into place
Cliff: you dont have to say it, its written all over your face
Janet: by my calculation, Im falling for you
Cliff: its a perfect equation
Janet and cliff: and I know that its true
Repeat chorus
Janet and cliff:
Its complicated, but its easy to see
A combination that was meant to be
Its something you can count on
Repeat chorus
It isnt really just a shot in the dark
Somebody mustve worked it out on the chart
Attraction automatic, a simple mathematics
Two to the power of love

Needs~
She looks at him with guiless eyes
Totally absorbed by his robust build
Her mind conjuring up a virtual mix
Of heated scenario's
Bathed in effluent heat
She simmers-transfixed;
His moistened lips beckon her
Reduced to her knees by desire
Pleasing him becomes the only
Equation that makes any sense
The longing reaches
Heightened cresendo's
This night will be theirs
Yes, this night is their forever

My own self
Do I have the strength to take on my own self?
Pertinently bothering and relevant question
Event thought it has no direct relation
One can not find answer or any equation
Yet there is an urge from within as an indication
How you assess yourself and put into action?
How much you have an ability to withstand criticism or reaction?
This will shape your destiny and give room for self assertion
It will give ideological build up and self conservation
You may not know exactly as what to do?
You have limitations to go through
Under such stage you are likely to face confusion
It may not allow you to settle down in compulsion
One should assert and reassert
By living on plane land you must think of desert
To act on dissimilar ground and survive
Explore all possible ways to revive
You must have friction of second ability to take decision
It must come as surest weapon with precision
You are gifted with third sense to share the blame
And at the same time very proudly to claim
Love to live with whatever means you have
Act as per conscience and normally behave
This will give boost your prestige
You will be considered able and wise
