Understanding reduces the greatest to simplicity, and lack of its causes the least to take on the magnitude.

Where lies beauty?
Modesty enhances
and glamour reduces,
Muteness enhances
and openness reduces,
Formidability enhances
and accessibility reduces,
Prudence enhances
and hollowness reduces,
Reliability enhances
and camouflage reduces,
The beauty of a woman
To the eyes of men

There is no single development, in either technology or management technique, which by itself promises even one order-of-magnitude improvement within a decade in productivity, in reliability, in simplicity.

Shaped
The magnitude of a shape can be reflected by the shape,
This small animal of some use can argue with us.
Under the microscope it is delicate, and easily deformed
Into different behaviours to make it look living.
We live and you live, but how do we all live?
Due to something in the cosmos, and everything on Earth,
But Earth is a provider of a bigger life span and me.
The smallest animals are not plants but cells
Of magnitude, of severe lack of trust for each other
That they have somehow abandoned each other.

He Will Keep The Simplicity
he goes on to keep the simplicity
of his existence
the chastity and candor of
his feelings
the clarity of his words
the classicality of his
clean line
the clearness of his directions
the modesty of his intentions
the openness of all that is obvious
to the naked eye
the plainness of all that is primitive
the naivete of uniformity
the straightforwardness
of innocence
the severity of his singleness
artlessness in
sophistication
and without complexity
understanding comes
without difficulty
yes, try the restraint
of the state of lack of
adornment
white, blank wall
and you.

Achieving Its Goal
Achieving its goal,
Over the lives of men and women in this town;
But they lack understanding and wisdom,
And certain things are allowed to take place for the truth!
Frome one year to another.
Relying,
Celebrated,
Actually;
Achieving its goal to satisfy your muse,
But they lack understanding and wisdom!
And like the phrase of love in the land of your muse.

The very damaging, frightening part of postpartum is the lack of perspective and the lack of priority and understanding what is really important.

Astronomy is perhaps the science whose discoveries owe least to chance, in which human understanding appears in its whole magnitude, and through which man can best learn how small he is.

When there is freedom from mechanical conditioning, there is simplicity. The classical man is just a bundle of routine, ideas and tradition. If you follow the classical pattern, you are understanding the routine, the tradition, the shadow — you are not understanding yourself.

It All Starts Now
Too many people act as if hope is dead. Just watch the movies, the news, really look at how people treat each other in the office, on the streets. So much pretense, hostility, arrogance, silent killings, so little kindness, patients, appreciation, understanding love and generosity. If people really had faith, if they really believe, in their heart, in their depths they would not be this way. One of the first steps to end the insanity is to face our destructive desires, born and perpetuated out of a lack of love, Lack of EMPATHY, lack of courage, lack of vision. It all starts now. It all ends now. We choose every moment.

I Eat Therefore I Am
The medical profession
has not been kicking its heels.
Faced with a spreading obsession
with eating and an explosion
in obesity,
it offers a solution
of Cartesian simplicity.
SNACKING BETWEEN MEALS!
This reduces your appetite at mealtimes
and helps you compensate
by EATING your way to losing weight.
Today Cornmarket is full
of the well-insulated
with heads enturbulated
by nutritional dyslexia,
munching their way to anorexia.

Our life is frittered away by detail. An honest man has hardly need to count more than his ten fingers, or in extreme cases he may add his ten toes, and lump the rest. Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity!

The Greatest
[Intro]
(The the, the the, the the, the the)
Don't throw no roses on my grave, boo
That's not a soldier, it's more like an angel
You got no where to run, no one to pray to
Jesus and Moses ain't comin' to save you
(The greatest, the the the greatest)
I flow like a butterfly, I sting like a hornet
They won't let me have it
Not even if no one else want it
And if I try to take it
They wanna break me down and strip me naked
They write a brand new rule and break it
They lie, they cheat, they steal, they fake it
But I'mma make it, Lord I can take it
I'm the (The greatest man alive)
Cut the drama boy, save it for your mama
I'm the (The greatest man alive)
I can't sweat it, know I got to get it
I'm the (The greatest man alive)
Without no doubt, my name will survive
(The greatest the the greatest man alive)
(The greatest man)
(The greatest, the the)
I'mma make it, Lord I can take it
I'm the (The greatest man alive)
Cut the drama boy, save it for your mama
I'm the (The gratest man alive)
I can't sweat it, I know I got to get it
I'm the (The greatest man alive)
Without no doubt, my name will survive
(The, the greatest man alive)
(The greatest, the the greatest man)
(The the, the greatest man alive)
(The, the the greatest, the the the greatest man)
(The greatest man alive)
I'mma make it, know that I can take it
I'm the (The greatest man alive)
Cut the drama boy, save it for your mama
I'm the (The greatest man alive)
I can't sweat it, I know I gotta get it
I'm the (The greatest man alive)
Without no doubt my name will survive
(The greatest man, the greatest man alive)
It only gets harder
It always seems so far away
The sky's getting darker
Another storm is on the way
(The the greatest, the the the greatest,the the)
Another storm is on the way
(The the the the greatest, the the greatest)
(The greatest man alive)

Like It's 1999
Why is my presence becoming more negligent?
I have no interest is being entertained,
Observing those mindless destroy themselves.
Especially at local events.
When I see vendors selling their wares,
At huge affairs.
And the people living in the communities,
Not invited to benefit from the marketing of greed...
That is in a high profile 'everywhere'.
And the locals have no concern,
About what takes place there?
As long as they are seen on these scenes...
Dressed to the 'nines' and flaunting their taste for flair,
Everywhere!
However...
They do come and party,
Like it's 1999.
~WHY are you so negative,
ALL the time? ~
I guess this comes from a lack of understanding.
If I grow grapes...
I'm not going to watch someone else,
Make, sell AND drink the wine!
And I don't get a dime?
I guess this comes from a lack of understanding.
'Thank you, Prince.'

Poets, You Are All Stars!
Stellar objects in the sky,
Brighter and visible to naked eyes,
All twinkle and smile with naughty winks,
A few are brighter than other kinds,
Own luminosity determines its brightness,
Proximity to the observers can alter it,
Brightest star are at the first magnitude,
The faintest at the sixth magnitude,
Standard stars stays brighter always,
Variable stars have different brightness,
These stars change their magnitude as they wish,
You are all the stars in the sky,
Can be seen smiling at me with white rays,
Every one of you, have your own brightness,
Reigning the poetical sky in togetherness,
I may be the faintest star in the sixth magnitude,
Yet to be seen and mapped in your gentle hearts,
From that distance, I can see you all twinkling steep,
Singing the songs of love, sorrow, loneliness and hope.

Energies
Mental energy: solving problems
increases it, movie watching reduces.
Emotional energy: flirting increases it
and hatred reduces it.
Physical energy: sports increase it
and book worms reduce it.
See that energy is built up.

Choose your words carefully
An impoverished vocabulary,
can preclude communication.
Facilitate incomprehension.
foiling our attempts at clarity.
Although we try our best to speak plainly.
The fault does not lie with our diction
rather to their lack of education.
They suffer from a disability.
Therefore we have to learn to modify
the way we talk to suit our audience
Couch what we say with great simplicity.
Although we understand the reason why
we must be careful not to cause offence.
To those who lack verbal ability.

The greatest artist is he who is greatest in the highest reaches of his art, even although he may lack the qualities necessary for the adequate execution of some minor details. It is not by his faults, but by his excellences, that we measure a great man. The strength of a beam is measured by its weakest part, of a man by his strongest.
