Sanity is only that which is within the frame of reference of conventional thought.

O Sanity
Mm, dum, doo, dum,
Mm, dum, doo, da-da, dum.
Its only sane to be insane,
Psychotic builds a castle and neurotic lives in it.
I dont know what to do with my sanity
When the worlds at a verge of calamity.
O sanity, o sanity,
What am I to do with you?
Drink up, shoot up, anything you please
But shes always standing behind me like a devil in hell.
O sanity, o sanity,
Why dont you let me go?
Let go, let go,
Cut it out!

Sanity Oh Sanity!
Sanity oh sanity at times you hide so well.
Without your ever presence it’s a living hell.
Each day each I meet poses a painful crisis.
Without you they’re left to their own devises.
I try to trust only myself so I can’t be hurt.
With watchful eye I attempt to always be alert.
Health, wealth and youth have all taken leave.
I need you now more than I could ever believe.
Sanity oh sanity you’re my driving force…
Without you at my side I have no recourse.

Gods Dice
Its out of my hands making your hands meet.
? ? ? ? ? rises crumbling out of reach.
Its in the cards of destiny your sanity in tow.
Designate my luck. uh resignate.
This power has no roots to guide. no role.
Trust me. rusted minds refuse to go.
Unwillingness is meaningless to walk away in vain.
Designate my will.
Ah, designate my fill.
Ah resignate.
My will is crashing. synapses flashing slow.
Ah, days like frame by frame. where do they go?
Ah yeah, why fight? forget it. cannot spend it after I go.
Roll them high. throw them again. all gods dice.
Monkey driven. call this living? ha.
Ah, too much thought its overwrought a hole.
Yeah, minding yours whats mine not yours.
Will finish us off.
Ah, designate my life.
Ah, designate my view.
Ah, resignate my will, my will, my will, I will.
Resignate my god.

One Is Blessed To Witness
One style.
One preference and one frame of reference.
One mindset sold to sell one concept bought.
One thought processed to stay one way,
As was taught.
And in some places still the main course to feed,
Is not meant for one life to live to-day to encourage.
Or any other day one is blessed to witness,
With two eyes and two feet with two hands to touch.
Or...
To observe to believe that one of anything,
Has not, was not or shall be 'not' on such an innovative...
And ever changing mind of The Creator.
If it was...
Many would not be able to talk,
Out of both sides of their mouths...
And at the same time without effort,
As freely as they do.

War of any kind is abhorrent. Remember that since the end of World War II, over 40 million people have been killed by conventional weapons. So, if we should succeed in averting nuclear war, we must not let ourselves be sold the alternative of conventional weapons for killing our fellow men. We must cure ourselves of the habit of war.

Angel Of Heavenly Love
ANGEL OF HEAVENLY LOVE
An angel one day came
Thought it was a golden frame
Eyes wonderfully bright
Hairs veil heavenly light
An angel one day came
Thought it was just a game
Heard a voice smooth and caring
Got captured when hearing
An angel one day came
Thought I was insane
Felt a warmness washing
And my senses dashing
An angel one day came
Thought am I to blame
Held out a silver dove
Said follow it to the cove
An Angel one day came
Thought it's not the same
Kissed me on my lips
Enwrapping my hips
An angel one day came
Thought it was a golden frame
It is my Angel of heavenly love
Holding my hands forever above

Diary Of a Madman
What could it mean.
Living beyond shame and fear of the unknown.
Insanity is incredible
And sanity is unstable
The diary of the insane is history.
And memory is long lost in the desert
Of the heart.
To an insane,
Sanity is insanity
And insanity is sanity.
The soul of an insane has gone far beyond earth.
But the sane is oblivious
Of the fate of his own soul
After the final call.
Above all,
Is sanity sane?
No. For bad temperament is
Madness in itself.

Picture Frames
Picture frames that enclose the art
make the art stand out.
If the frame is not just right
better to do without.
For the artist had in their mind
what the frame should be.
But the framer who made the frame
did not know what the art would be.
So acquiring the knack of pairing them
is a talent all its own.
The picture itself cannot speak out
but it has always known
what its frame should be.

Frame
Frame
I could frame my
mind to what my
thoughts become,
"words spoken"
or I could frame the
night to think my
agony is gone.
I can frame almost
anything I quess,
from a heart in grief
looking for some relief,
the mailman,
the milkman,
and everything
that passes by,
A kitten at my doorstep,
is funny isn't it?
you can frame your
way through a
dragons throat.
Anything you want,
even your heart,
your truth your lies and
even the clear skies.
The hymns I sing,
my eyelids to fall asleep,
an ability not yet control.
Everything I long for
has not yet pass through,
so I keep framing
the truth the lies and all
I can think of.
But framing is not my
escape is just a lie
I keep telling myself,
and I can keep doing
it for eons.
But not yet complete,
for I can't frame my
eyes of what I see.

What did I do?
What did I do to get out of your life,
when I am in every frame of your life?
As a fetus, you kicked and turned,
I was there in that frame, carrying you.
As an infant you were fragile and helpless,
I remember I was there as well.
As an aimless toddler, before stumbling down,
the hands that carried you, were mine.
During all your school activities,
the beating heart that prayed for your success,
During minor and major exams and interviews,
the eyes that woke up before you,
Had I been there in those frame?
I was there in every frame of your life,
I will be there in every frame of my grandchildren,
If you both let.
Until then my child, explore the new things.
This poem is dedicated to the parents who miss their
children who have gone for further education, work
commitments and other reasons as well.

Red Frame/white Light
Red frame white light
Telephone box
Red on grey
Six three two three double o three
Red frame white light
You have a gray book
On a metal shelf
Red frame white light
Numbered calls
Selected places
Red frame white light
Telephone calls
Black and white
Red frame white light
You have a yellow book
With averts
Red frame white light
There is a black lead to a dial and phone
Red frame white light
Six three two three double o three

Sacred Journey
In the renaissance
of Western spirituality.
The linear logic of
frame by frame reality.
Is no longer a suitable roadmap
for a blue print of practicality.
The shining clarity of
thought unfettered by the dream.
Unfolding the universe as never before.
Ever revealing the unforseen.
Breaking the chaos
of matter based existence.
From this heightened state of thought
there can be no resistance.
We emerge in all our splendor
the doubts and fears must all surrender.
Thus revealed in all its glory
mans true birthright.
The magnificant story.
Peace and Love for every nation.
Found in God's Blessed creation.

A Mask, A White Lie
My customized protection
An initial accidental intent
Now, a practice with ease
A white lying
To anchor my mark of sanity
See the total spin off from my heart's harmony
What a touch of irony
As I hope another would see
This misrepresentation is not my character referencing
My deliberate array of communication
Blame on society an unfeeling pillar
Sometimes on own for self-inflicted torment
Regardless, its dramatic advantages brings my actions to a compulsion
And that,
This misrepresentation is not my character reference...

Out The Window
You said to never ever come back
I wasnt sure exactly what you meant by that
I know that we have had some problems
But Ive got solutions in my head
[chorus:]
So I jumped out the window
And down the fire escape
Broke the window, who needs car keys anyway?
Climbed through the window, I thought led to your heart
Thrown out the window, there was nothing there to break my fall.
Sorry I sent you all the flowers
I heard your boyfriend wants to shove them up my ass
I never meant to cause you problems
But Ive got solutions in my head.
[chorus]
You said its over
You said never again
Why does this happen all the time?
You dont even want to be friends
It makes you happy when I cry
Now all Ive got left is my sanity
Now all Ive got left is my sanity
And Im not sure how far it goes.
