I believe that love is the main key to open the doors to the "growth" of man. Love and union with someone or something outside of oneself, union that allows one to put oneself into relationship with others, to feel one with others, without limiting the sense of integrity and independence.

Just Be You

When one looks at history
We can either
Learn from the past
To adapt to the present
So you can
Face tomorrow's mysteries

The age old question
We all ask
Can we better ourselves?

To better oneself
You must be brave

To better oneself
You must know love

To better oneself
You must be strong

To better oneself
You must believe

To better oneself
You must learn to share

To better oneself
Just be you

After learning all
Of life's mysteries
One must discover
To be true to
Thine own self
Just be you

Condition Critical

Oh the tension's mounting
The pressure starts to show
All the men in haunting
Please don't let me go
(Don't go)
Try to free my body
(Don't go)
Try to strap me down
(Don't go)
These'll never break me
(Don't go)
Free wheel to look at me
Condition critical
I'm feeling physical
Condition critical
Now I'm really cynical
The bells they are ringing
Or is it in my head
My nerves numb understanding
I'm falling out of bed
(Don't go)
So call it paranoia
(Don't go)
I don't see it that way
(Let's go)
You say I adore ya
(Hell no)
We're gonna rock they way
Condition critical
I'm feeling physical
Condition critical
Now I'm really cynical
Ooh ooh
Whips and chains
Don't feel no pain
What's so wrong
I think I'm going out of my head
Over heels
I can't feel
No pain, only pleasure
Get me out
Take me home
Can't you see my condition
Woo-woo-woo
Condition

Condition critical, critical

0017 And Where The Joy

This, then, the question
for those whom it may concern –

to find a celebration in oneself
that, as outer is, so inner;

that all truth rests within oneself –
for where else can it be found?

to love oneself – for oneself must be loveable,
or none other could be loved for true;

to know all happiness to be within;
to celebrate all this; the world a constant joy;

to find this celebration in oneself.

The Law That Isn't

The law that isn't!
But should be...
Integrity.
Integrity.

All kinds of crime,
Have been defined.
But...
One escapes from a state of mind.

Integrity!
The law that isn't.
Integrity.

Union Cures The Illness

For any illness,
The symptoms and signs are within oneself, but
The cure is obtaining medicines from source outside;

Whereas,
For the illness of a well jeweled mistress
Who is longing for union with lover,
She herself is the medicine,
Union cures the illness.

Just Dropped In

To see what condition my condition was in)
(mickey newbury)
(yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)
I woke up this mornin with the sundown shinin in
I found my mind in a brown paper bag within
I tripped on a cloud and fell-a eight miles high
I tore my mind on a jagged sky
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
(yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)
I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in
I watched myself crawlin out as I was a-crawlin in
I got up so tight I couldnt unwind
I saw so much I broke my mind
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
(yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)
Someone painted april fool in big black letters on a dead end sign
I had my foot on the gas as I left the road and blew out my mind
Eight miles outta memphis and I got no spare
Eight miles straight up downtown somewhere
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
I said I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
Yeah yeah oh-yeah

Im In No Condition

Dont look at me with love in your eyes
Go look at somebody that can make it worthwhile
Im hurt from a love affair I didnt want in
Im in no condition to try to love again
Dont smile at me because its no use
cause I dont have a smile that I can give to you
Someday, you might look me up, but let me be till then
For Im in no condition to try to love again
Im in no condition to try to love again
Man I love just broke my heart
And it must have time to mend
He have me the breeze
Now hes gone with the wind
Im in no condition to try to love again
Im in no condition to try to love again
Man I love just broke my heart
And it must have time to mend
He have me the breeze
Now hes gone with the wind
Im in no condition to try to love again
No, Im in no condition to try to love again

Self indulgences.

The one who talks much of oneself
Is doing so to conceal as much oneself.
The one who curses much oneself
Is doing so to get pity for oneself.

What are we gonna do?
Union Union Union City blue
Tunnel to the other side
It becomes daylight

Oh power, passion plays a double hand
Union union union city man
Arrive climb up four flights to the orange side
Rearrange my mind
In turquoise Union Union Union City blue
Skyline passion Union City blue

What are we gonna do?

True Love Devine

Our inner selves electrified
With love
Drives the inner souls
Beyond oneself,
To ride the galaxy
To unite
Our souls as one my love.
Attracting rays of the sun to
Weld our hearts,
Moonbeams cool our blood.
The stars stand witness
To our divine union,
Blessed by gods universe.
Compelled with all this wonder
And with love truly
Running thru our minds and body
We commit to a life
Of faith hope and charity
Towards all mankind
Of every faith and creed
Who all look up to the same
Bright light shining from the sky,
True love of all kinds will never die.

The Union Forever

It cant be love
for there is no true love
It cant be love
for there is no true love
Shure Im C.F.K.
but you gotta love me
the cost no man can say
but you gotta love me
Well Im sorry but Im not
interested in gold mines,
oil wells, shipping or real estate
what would I liked to have been?
everything you hate
There is a man
a certain man
and for the poor you may be shure
that hell do all he can
who is this one?
[whos favorite son?]
just by his action has the traction
magnets on the run
who likes to smoke?
enjoys a joke?
and wouldnt get a bit
upset if he were really broke?
with wealth and fame
hes still the same
Ill bet you five youre not alive
If you dont now his name
You said the union forever
You said the union forever
You cried the union forever
but that was untrue girl
cause it cant be love

One can not love without opening oneself, and opening oneself, that's taking the risk of suffering. One does not have control.

For You..

Courage and integrity are wondrous things to see
In your eyes I see them both looking back at me
Courage and integrity before were simply words
Vowels and consonants, sounds that I have heard,
Visions from old battlefields, heroes standing tall,
Yet now I see them in your eyes in writing very small.
Courage and integrity at last I understand
The beauty of the meaning behind the open hand.
Courage and integrity are wondrous things to see
One day my love I hope you see them looking back at thee.

No Matter How Many Apologies Come

A breached integrity is difficult to mend.
Any outreaching extended,
Doesn't heal but offends.

A conscious intention is known for what it is.
No one who says they respect someone,
Will protect themselves...
With a lie that's done.
That's a breach of one's integrity.
No matter how many apologies come.

And for anyone who says that is being sensitive,
Have no respect or integrity to offer.
And surely none there to be known as it is to give.
