In the absence of clearly-defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily trivia until ultimately we become enslaved by it.

In absence of clearly defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily acts of trivia.
Why is it trivia? People call it trivia because they know nothing and they are embarrassed about it.

Silence In The Sky
As I step outside
there is a silence in the sky.
The absence of planes
isn’t the only thing I cannot see.
There is an absence of birds as well,
there are a few,
but not as many as I used to see.
It is strangely quiet,
almost unnerving in ways.
The last time it felt like this
was when 9/11 happened.
Now a volcano in Iceland
and the sky is silent again.
No birdsong to greet the morning rise,
no flutter of tiny wings before my eyes.
The sun is out, the sky is blue,
but only silence fills the air.

And I believe in having an administration that has clearly defined goals, objectives and time lines such that it and its people can be held accountable.

In The Absence of life
In the absence of life..........
Sweet sexy summer in a
angelic wind,
coming from south in
no harm yet the
sky till feel absence
In the absence of life.........
if i lost my life
in pleasing man, please
remember my Achille's heel
in a acrostic poem
In the absence of life.........
indeed no life is absence
in anyway, except
the world is absence.

Of course, violence will not end with our combat mission. Extremists will continue to set off bombs, attack Iraqi civilians and try to spark sectarian strife. But ultimately, these terrorists will fail to achieve their goals.

The corporate woman has been defined as the 'liberated woman' and I see that as the exact opposite. I think she now is more enslaved, maybe even more than the housewife was; because she's so out of her power, and imitating male power is not female power.

U N I
want to make you try,
You want to make me cry
I want to be with you
You want me to want to be with you
I don’t want you to change anything thing you do
You want me to change, change myself just for you
I am in love with you boy
You like me, with my emotions, you toy
I want to spend forever with you
You think just a week or two will do
Our goals different, yet strangely the same
But today, tomorrow, and forever I give you the blame for my pain want to make you try,
You want to make me cry
I want to be with you
You want me to want to be with you
I don’t want you to change anything thing you do
You want me to change, change myself just for you
I am in love with you boy
You like me, with my emotions, you toy
I want to spend forever with you
You think just a week or two will do
Our goals different, yet strangely the same
But today, tomorrow, and forever I give you the blame for my pain

Look at us...
These signs of silence,
Are the reasons of urn absence.....
Yearning for your embrace,
And feel your sweet grace,
Resting by the fireplace..........
Look at us, where we are,
So grown, and bizarre…
Look at us, what we are,
Like the strings of a musical guitar...
We’re in love, we're determined,
to our love, life and so defined...
Sun is shining in the sky,
You're arms, that's where I’m gon' die...
Our love is so clean,
Unusual, nobody has seen,
I’m gon'nestle it & make it endlessly green....
Look at us, where we are,
So grown, and bizarre…
Look at us, what we are,
Like the strings of a musical guitar...
We’re in love, we're determined,
to our love, life and so defined...
You belong to me,
No matter where, we'll be...
You are always mine,
My love, my sunshine.....
Look at us, where we are,
So grown, and bizarre…
Look at us, what we are,
Like the strings of a musical guitar...
We’re in love, we're determined,
to our love, life and so defined...

Organizations rarely progress in absence of well defined codes of conduct and system to ensure that these are strictly adhered to. Same is true for society.

Godspeed
you have
a multitude
of possibilities
all your past work
and effort
will carry you
to greater expectations
opportunities
chances
a wait you
all you need do
is begin your journey
with faith prayer
courage and trust
and belief in yourself
and the expectation
of making
a better brighter
more challenging
future for yourself
you are right
every door we open
closes another
and we leave
many people
behind as we
set forth upon
our chosen destiny
make a life of meaning
for ourselves for others
ultimately
that which
inspires ennobles enriches
humanity
is all
we bequeath
to our fellow
voyagers
on this
earth sphere
set
your compass
goals
firmly
ultimately
u pon the
expectation
of attaining
an incarnation
in divinity
encompassed
in imprinted...
soul sought
horizon heaven

I learn something not because I have to, but because I really want to. That's the same view I have for performing. I'm performing because I really want to, not because I have to bring bread back home.
In all my years of performing, no audience member has ever actually assaulted me. I consider this to be the singular triumph of my performing career.

Performing, for me, is like oxygen. Performing, for me, is like the only thing that is a constant in my life, because you’re in all different places doing all different things, but when I get up on stage, that’s where I know exactly what to do, that’s where I own it.
