Sophistication

sophistication amidst the
hunger of the masses
becomes a curse to your
further progress,

soon no native likes the company
of your strictures
no river is willing to carry you to
the other end of the sea
no moon shines upon you
no sun rises on your brow

how many times shall the black bird tell you
in the plainest notes of her ordinary song
simplicity is beauty
there is no other effective tool
to be loved by your
own people

be with them in the most ordinary even of their lives
breakfast consisting of fish and rice and water
and then a very nice conversation about the recent
adventure in fishing
there is no other effective tool than being loved by ordinary people
as they are themselves, so shall you be yourself
no pretensions
no sophistication
just simplicity.

Micro Cuts

Hands are red with your blame
Megaphone screaming my name
Whimpers someone I should've loved
Souls weeping above

I've seen what you're doing
Destroying puppet strings
To my soul

Micro waves me insane
A Blaine cuts in your brain
Sounds like forks on a plate
Blackboard scratched with hate

I've seen what you're doing
Destroying puppet strings
To my soul

Free Soul

Free soul walking on the earth,
walking looking for the fun,
hearing that fun is on the sunnie side,
look what she see...
It's you people having fun,
join dance with us free born soul,
have fun enjoy life!

Don't doooooo this,
changing soul in to the devils tool,
girl your soul is in chains,
I feel so free,
free like an angel!
But you don't feel chains round your chests!
but I feel wings on my back!
do you feel horn on your head?
I see my body few feet from me!
And now is lady deeeeead.

Nothing To Fear

Hey neighbor let me give you some advice
The russians are about to pulverize us
In our sleep tonight
That is if the crazy arabs
Or the riots don't get us first
And the fire will rain down from the sky
The fire will rain down from the sky
People will die--people will die
People will die--people will die
But go ahead sleep tight in your beds
Remember what the wise man said
Chorus
There's nothing to fear nothing to fear
There's nothing to fear nothing to fear
There's nothing to fear (but fear itself)
There's nothing to fear (but fear itself)
And the temperature's starting to drop now
The temperature's starting to drop now
The temperature's starting to drop now . . .
Hey little girl won't you come this way
Won't you let me buy you candy or perhaps a chocolate shake
Or perhaps some nice cocaine or perhaps a little kiss
Or perhaps a ride in my big car
Perhaps a ride in my big car
Won't you make an old man happy
Won't you make an old man happy
Won't you let me show you paradise
(don't ask your mother for advice)
Chorus
If they don't turn you into a junkie or a zombie on the street
If they don't turn you into a yo-cat or a grinning jesus freak
If they don't take away your brains or turn your body inside out
If they don't take away your passion with a color tv set
They'll take away your heart and soul
They'll take away your heart and soul
They'll take away your heart and soul
Don't let them take away your heart and soul
But remember what the wise man said
Chorus

Wish Of A Soul Is Wish Of Nature I

To wish is natural, wish of a soul
is wish of soul of nature.
It is the basis of evolution of
souls. But any wish limited to
individual either ends in
temporary happiness or pain. Wish which is limited to
individual interest is binding
one!
Wish for the broader interest of
living being is rewarding.
But soul free of any wish is liberated.
Broad spectrum wish,
I like to call,
are surely help evolution.
Once I believe this and know,
I keep myself full of wishes, those wishes that will become
boon to
all worlds.
If my wish is not able to move
the immovable's heart,
then I am not in the way towards
liberation. In my opinion liberation of soul is
less important than love flowing
from heart that embrace all!

Sky People

I stopped flying a long time ago,
Thinking thats just for the birds and bees.
But when I look up (I look up)
And see the sky, (see the sky)
I like the blue and I know why.
You came from zeus, we come from uranus,
Hoping to meet soul to soul.
We see you clearly, (clearly)
With our third eye, (with our third eye)
Theres no more fear and I know why.
Sky people, thats what we are,
Sky people, thats what we are.
One day well fly and leap through the sky
To look for a good land hand in hand.
Sky people, thats what we are,
Sky people, thats what we are,
Sky people, thats what we are,
Sky people, thats what we are.

Caught Up In a Mess

What amazes is the feeding of the greed.
And the heat from the people raging,
That a payback is not needed.
Some say...
Accusations cause sensations deceived.
And we are caught up in a mess,
That is not cost effective.

Well, well...
What amazes is the feeding of the greed.
And the heat from the people raging,
That a payback is not needed.
Some say...
Accusations cause sensations deceived.
And we are caught up in a mess,
That is not cost effective.

Well, well...
We've been affected.
Well, well...
And disconnected.
Well, well...
From a secret kept,
Discreet and much deceiving.

Well, well...
We've been affected.
Well, well...
And disconnected.
Well, well...
From secrets kept,
Now destroying democracy.

Well, well...
No benefit comes to visit and stay.
And we are turned away,
From those questions we want answered.

Well, well...
We've been affected.
Well, well...
And disconnected.
Well, well...
From secrets kept,
Now destroying democracy.

Well, well...
It just amazes.
Well, well...
More are not crazed.
Well, well...
It seems we're closer,
To those final days.

My Pain - You

living costantly
dieing slowly
reaching the end
slowly killing my soul

fear is mot i word i know
kill me
thats fine with me
dice the blade
one look at me
you slowly die inside
fear is killing you
but fear lets you live
but it eats at your soul
but with no fear you have
no soul

In his image

god creates the physique
as a compass
to him

the body a sanctum
to cultivate
the soul

god creates the physique
as a guide to
finetune his soul

god creates the physique
a tool to upgrade the
vibrations of the soul
in order that it can fit
nicely into the mould of god

god creates the physique
to see how far man
can veer away from him

the physique a piano
songs of the soul
are played

Hunting Soul

Each thought I imagine
My essence dissipate
The hunting soul stalks
Its action I reciprocate
Internally I die
Into life's abyss
A prey to my soul
A soul that does not exist
My soul, a mirror
A mirror of fantasy
I stare with fear
At no reality
No soul has soul
Accept for chemistry
Imagine I dream
A specious casuistry
My soul hunts me
A prey to my own creation
To thou I pray
For thy soul's haven
Hope I believe
Faith hoping with me
That beauty I love
Is beauty I absolutely see
In God, its spirit
the soul is divined
With no chemistry
But soul art I finally entwined

Unknown Fear

Unknown fear,
Is hovering my heart.
Fear of love and hatred.
Fear of victory and failure.

I can not guess it
Accurately I mean
May be one of those…
But I m too keen.

What it is about?
Why it gives me chills?
It is really dreadful,
As my soul it kills.

Might old memories
Are affecting my present,
I tried to erase
But for permanent it went,
Went deep inside…

But it bumps out,
Sometimes unexpectedly.
Withers my soul,
And rock me as whole.

At this moment,
I want a companion.
Who can comfort me,
But I found none.

Alone confronting fear,
I sometimes cry,
Hoping someone will hear.
But I find- fear, fear only fear…

A Great Soul Embraces All Knowing No Enemies

A truly noble soul sees no caste or religion
a great soul sees loves fellow human beings
with love dreams hopes needs fear in their eyes
a great soul gives treats all people equally as
true brothers sisters belonging to one family
a great soul embraces all knowing no enemies
with compassion humility as common humanity.

Exactly Straight women who surround themselves only with gay men or white people who refuse any other race into their circles are unhealthy and it has more to do with one's individual fear and individual closets.

I Learned My Literature As Myself

I learned my Literature as myself-
Kafka was my soul
In the days of my early anxiety-
Joyce was my soul
Also in literary striving -
Wordsworth my soul in calm and love of nature-
Salinger my soul
Bellow my soul
Singer my soul
Soul after soul

But when I came to write
Near the end
After all the meaning
I and all the other souls together conspired
A voice perhaps my own?

I Am Not As Great A Soul

I AM NOT AS GREAT A SOUL

I am not as great a soul
As I would like to be-
Too much fear-
Too much anxiety-
Too much question and doubt-
Too much uncertainty -
Too little faith -
Too little trust -
Perhaps even
Too little Love-
I am not as great a soul
As I would like to be -
And I don’t know how now
To make my soul greater.
