I think one's feelings waste themselves in words; they ought all to be distilled into actions which bring results.

Actions Are Sentiments' Verity
Words are but mere lexicon, actions are sentiments' verity;
Where words may serve merely to confound, actions bring clarity;
Actions are the truth, to which words may only portend-
Actions make real, what was once only pretend.
Do not tell me, show me-then I will know;
Do not say you love me, allow the love you profess, to show!
Words tell a story of intentions, actions are their proof-
Do not express a desire for ardor, then remain aloof!
Would you believe I love you if I told you, or more if I show you! ?
After all we have been through, this proof is the least I owe you.
I utter no words before my actions are taken or readied-
I express no sentiment before my heart is inspired and steadied;
When I say 'I love you', it is affirmation of the actions I am willing to take;
When I say 'I love you', it is proof of the sacrifices I am willing to make!

Life just 10% of what happens and 90% of how you react
Life 10% what happens and 90% your reaction on the happenings
We are free to choose
Our response in any given situation
But we are not free to
Choose the consequences of those actions
Our actions,
Those governed by right principles
Bring positive results
Dishonesty in dealing can
Bring social consequences,
Depending on whether or not
We are found out
And
Also are our natural consequences
Fix result of our actions,
Which Indian Philosophy puts as Karma
That means our choice of response, in a way,
Is our choice of consequences
The important and decisive factor in life
Is not what happens to us
But, the way
We take towards what happens

I Am The Resurrection
Down down you bring me down
I hear you knocking down my door
And I can't sleep at night
Your face it has no place
No room for you inside my house
I need to be alone
Don't waste your words I don't need
Anything from you
I don't care where you've been or
What you plan to do
Turn turn I wish you'd learn
There's a time and place for everything
I've got to get it through
Cut loose 'cause you're no use
I couldn't stand another
Second in your company
Don't waste your words
I don't need anything from you
I don't care where you've been or
What you plan to do
Stone me why can't you see
You're a no one nowhere washed up baby
Who'd look better dead
Your tongue is far too long
I don't like the way it sucks and
Slurs upon my every word
Don't waste your words
I don't need anything from you
I don't care where you've been or
What you plan to do
I am the resurrection and I am the life
I couldn't ever bring myself
To hate you as I'd like
I am the resurrection and I am the life
I couldn't ever bring myself
To hate you as I'd like

Louder Than Words
I have heard you say the words many times,
but your actions tells me your words are just a lie;
because actions speak louder than words.
If you love me why don’t you hug me?
If you love me why don’t I ever remember a kiss from you?
You say you love but actions speak louder than words.
If you love me like you say you do
why when I need a shoulder to cry on you just shrug?
And when I need a cheering section your voice is silent?
You say you love but actions speak louder than words.
To love someone does not me to say it in a card
on a birthday, Christmas or Graduation day.
To truly love some one you show them with
a hug, a kiss or a call just to say hi.
Mom, you say you love then you need to show me;
because actions speak louder than words
Better We Do Something
If like the job you do
the better are the results,
where as if we don’t
the results begin to slack.
Better, we do something
that we like
as it bring out our inner joy
and our lives leave
sadness and despair behind.

The Mark (Of Cain)
when we kill,
for whatever reason,
we bear the mark
of Cain...
and wear the results
of our actions!
whether we kill
with guns and bombs,
or by the greed
of our actions,
and our very lifestyles.
we are guilty!
if it leaves a bad taste,
we shouldnt have eaten it!

Crazy Feelings
It's the poetic expressions,
of unspoken actions,
intensified to mesmerize,
my deepest depths of emotions,
the electrified senses,
signaling the waves,
the waves of love,
disconnecting the network,
of simplicity and misconception,
the chaotic quarels of inner feelings,
persists on internal war,
battling between the heart and the belly,
yet the opponent stood at a distance,
without expression of interest,
whatsoever,
crazy feelingz at boiling point,
i am left to erupt,
an erosion of emotions,
i have no choice but to burst,
this is the results of crazy feelings,
whatever it is,
it isn't love.

Down down, you bring me down
I hear you knocking at my door and I cant sleep at night
Your face, it has no place
No room for you inside my house I need to be alone
Dont waste your words I dont need anything from you
I dont care where youve been or what you plan to do

Theres a time and place for everything Ive got to get it through
Cut loose, youre no use

Dont waste your words I dont need anything from you

Youre a no-one nowhere washed up baby whod look better dead
Your tongue is far too long
I dont like the way it sucks and slurps upon my every word
Dont waste your words I dont need anything from you

I couldnt ever bring myself to hate you as Id like

Sonnet: Keep Your Promises
When promises are made, keep them will you?
If not, never make promises that all;
Your words uttered must be carried out too;
Foolish-statements can bring on one’s downfall!
All words spoken must be done with great care;
A smooth-tongued man cannot go on for long;
One can’t allow the nails to grow but pare!
The tongue can curse or sing a soothing song!
Why think one thought and do another thing?
’Tis best to be as frank as you can be;
All sugared-words cannot results good bring;
It is wise to speak with care whole-heartedly.
Honor must one, the promises one makes;
Ingredients decide the cake, one bakes!

What Can You Bring Me
(j gadson)
When your lovin is gone
And you cant carry on
What can you bring me
When there aint nobody else
And you cant help yourself
What can you bring me
What can you bring me
Can you bring me that happy day
Let me know that everything is ok
Bring it strong and bring it fast
Bring it till the pain is in the past
What can you bring me, thatll unchain me
What can you bring me
What can you bring me baby
What can you bring me
Like a amn whose on that road, drivin hard towards his goal
Like Im on my last go round
My love lifes lost and cant be found
What can you bring me
What can you bring me
Hurry baby, dont waste time
I need somebody, help me solve this crime
Bring it strong and bring it fast
Bring it till the pain is in the past
What can you bring me, thatll unchain me
What can you bring me
What can you bring me
What can you bring me
What can you bring me
What can you bring me
Help my equilibrium baby
What can you bring me
What can you bring me
What can you bring me
What can you bring me

Unspoken Words
If I were to tell you something
would it please you to know what it would be?
For I do not know how I can say it
without saying it to you.
So please bear with me when I say to you
Words cannot express the message
I want to get across to you.
You are the only person
I would want to say this to.
If only you would let my actions
speak for my words,
then you'll see what meaning
my silent words have for you.
If you feel the same way then you'll know
You don't have to say anything
just let your actions speak for themselves.

More Than Words
True Love
you cant express those feelings with just words, they go beyond
to let her know just how fond
you are of and how much you care
because no word could even dare
to come close to the meaning that is love, because its more than said
it's more then what you think of in your head
but its inexplicably more, since you cannot profess a love
with just speech
its not something like a dove
that can be caged or fully expressed, but through actions you can teach
someone of your feelings by sacrifice and devotion
to get your love in motion
and maybe then, only then when you dont know you dont just
love the idea, maybe then she'll understand its not just lust
but you'll always love her for who is
and when that times comes, you won't need the words
because your love will be unspokenly more
its the kind of love that is at the core
that cuts to the heart and lasts forever
if you so choose to embark on the endeavor
so attempt with your words so show how you feel
and make your appeal
but if your love be true
there is nothing you can do
to ever let her know just how much you care
True Love

Words.... (Poetry Itself)
words do not heal the broken hearted,
words do not end wars.
words do not change the face of indifference,
words do not impress god!
words do not feed the hungry,
nor set the captives free.
words do not give shelter to the homeless,
or hope to those ridden with despair.
words do not stop discrimination,
words do not bring justice.
words do not bring forgiveness,
nor do they bring understanding...
words do not fill the empty,
nor erase the scars of love...
words do not define dialogue!
it is only then,
the hands and feet of the human heart...
and poetry itself is nothing more,
than the action of involved compassion!

Awareness Notes...
what we are talking about today
is living in awareness, the costs
of our actions and inactions, and
not being owned by the things we possess.
what it comes down to is responsibility,
and the vision and knowledge to make
good choices.... conscious living.
living with respect... for all living
beings, for the costs and results of
our own actions... for every breath
that goes into each moment, for every
sacrifice that goes into meeting each need!
