Abuse if you slight it, will gradually die away; but if you show yourself irritated, you will be thought to have deserved it.

There is no ice that will never melt
There is no ice that will never melt
Slowly, gradually
Though freeze to sleep forever
Or not be moved by emotion
Slowly, gradually
It’s not needed fire arms
It’s not needed the right law
Only time
Slowly, gradually
The cold drips in my hands
Like a burning candle
Like a bleeding body
Gone into puddle
There is no ice that will never melt
Slowly, gradually
Will it be a thin hope
Or silent word
Slowly, gradually
It’s not needed genius mind
It’s not needed global warning
Only time
Slowly, gradually
The crystal vanishes in my hands
Like a crying stone
Like a dying swan
Gone into water

We get that we deserve.
We are governed no better than we deserved.
We are cursed no better than we deserved.
What happened to us is what we deserved.

The reappeard act
The reappeared act
The day you left me allowed me to feel so much joy on thee inside that being free never felt so good! ! I thought I'll have a break down! because of your ability to show up and show out and hit me time and time again in the heart with a surprise that I thought I'll die. I became a custom to your baggage of tricks and disappearing, reappearing acts like Im some **** walking in and out of my life like you became the leap year or Robin Hood because you took. But I thank YoU! ! ! ! Because I needed to take the time for me to rethink that I deserved better then this! ! ! ! !
I came to the place to find me in the mist of what I allow to happen, to happen! ! ! go on far to long. That when I reposition my thinking I found my worth! and I for gave me. Then what I thought was going to be the hard part became so easy I turned around and for gave YOU! The reappearing act! ! ! ! ! ! !

Irritated And Frustrated Readers
IRRITATED AND FRUSTRATED READERS
Irritated and frustrated readers
Angry ones also.
Bored ones too.
I must be doing something wrong.
A Poet is meant to please
And dissatisfaction should not be
His greatest creation.
Oh woe is me and my words
We have become
Better unheard.

Pointy Toes
Pointy toes,
Elegance shows.
A dancer's feet,
Worn and Weary,
A ballerina's feat,
Makes it look easy.
We abuse our feet,
Scrapped till it bites,
We abuse our feet,
Tie knots too tight,
We abuse our feet,
Stand till sore,
We abuse our feet,
Curl like claw.
High heels, tall.
We abuse our feet,
Bound feet small.
Abuse our feet most than rest of body?
Take care, your feet, Everybody.
A Slight Fever
I feel uneasy with this feeling
My heart is exposed and it’s not me usually
I could blame it on the hot sun
I could blame it on the rain
But I won’t tell that it’s because of you
I’m caught in the wrong moment
My mask is dropped and it’s not me usually
I could blame it on the dust in my eyes
I could blame it on cold wind
But I won’t tell that it’s because of you
It’s just a slight fever
Makes me curling in the bed
Hardly to wake and weak
But I won’t sleep forever
It’s just a slight fever
Makes me walking in the dream
I should heal soon from this warmth
But I want to sleep for a while
I can’t say that I hate this feeling
But I don’t like it either
Makes me ignore anything else
And only pity my self
I can’t say that it’s your fault
But you should also responsible
You’ll never know my feeling
Unless you deserved for that
The world begins to spin in my eyes
My mind is fevered and it’s not me usually
I could blame it on stabbing words
I could blame it on bad joke
But I won’t tell that it’s because of you
It’s just a slight fever
Makes me aching with this warmth
But I will heal soon
Yeah, just sleep for a while

And that's what happened to that show. It started ordinary, it started really rather bad. As I said, there was a review that said, really, we think the commercials are better than the show. And then it gradually developed.

There Is Nothing Wrong With Power
'Tis sad to think that many with power abuse it those with power who abuse it weak not strong
There is nothing wrong with having power in the first place it is the abuse of it that is all wrong
For the abuse of power leads to serious crimes against the powerless though power in good hands it is quite okay
And good people with power never do abuse it they use it in the most constructive way
Some people with power are quite benign people and philanthropic one of them can say
But those who abuse their power to the law may never answer though to karma there's a price they have to pay
The abuse of power leads to dictatorial regimes that leads to serious crimes against humanity
In the despicable crimes against women and children the wrongs of power gone wrong for all to see
The people who abuse their power should never have it though to their power they desperately do cling
Power in the right hands an adavantage to others and power in the wrong hands is a dangerous thing
There is nothing wrong with power from once 'tis used well but some with power they do abuse their rule
And some with power they can become quite nasty and derive pleasure out of being cruel
But power in the right hands can be a blessing and kind people with power their praise we ought sing
Since they have the gift of empathy within them and happiness to others they do bring.

Research on child abuse suggests that religious beliefs can foster, encourage, and justify the abuse of children. When contempt for sex underlies teachings, this creates a breeding ground for abuse.

We deserved it. I mean, if you get a pummeling, you deserved it. But isn't it wonderful to remember a time that America was once so innocent that all we had to worry about was the next ""Batman"" movie?

And this whole period of time of gradually working at being a better guitar player and songwriter have gradually led me to the point where I feel I'm doing a clearer representation of the thing that I've been feeling inside me since I was four years old.

Had Thought
I had once thought about killing
But no-one could I ever kill,
I had once thought about robbing
But from no-one could I ever steal,
I had once thought about cheating
But to a love I could never cheat
I had once thought about lying
But to no-one could I cause deceit,
I had once thought about my death
But I did not want to die
I once thought about depression
But no longer did I want want to cry
I once thought about using
But no one could I ever use
I had once thought about abusing
But then to no-one could I ever abuse.
In my life I had these thoughts
As they would entered into my brain
But when they entered into my soul
From them all I did refrain.
I know what's right from wrong
And that truth can or will never change
Excuses instead of truth cannot be accepted
And sins cannot change their name.
Those ideals will still enter into my mind
Especially when temptation I had sought
But I will stay a virtuos and truthful man
When it comes to sins and lies, I too had thought.
