The way to preserve the peace of the church is to preserve its purity.

A Child's Evening Prayer
Ere on my bed my limbs I lay,
God grant me grace my prayers to say:
O God! preserve my mother dear
In strength and health for many a year;
And, O! preserve my father too,
And may I pay him reverence due;
And may I my best thoughts employ
To be my parents' hope and joy;
And, O! preserve my brothers both
From evil doings and from sloth,
And may we always love each other,
Our friends, our father, and our mother,
And still, O Lord, to me impart
An innocent and grateful heart,
That after my last steep I may
Awake to thy eternal day! Amen.

Mummification
Preserve me in your acts of compassion
As my heart shrinks in one last contraction;
Before my blood clots and clogs deep inside
The vessels of my so-soon-to-be-dried,
Disintegrating internal organs.
When I am lifeless, soulless, and barren;
When I am petrified, dark and ashen,
Permit for me to be indemnified.
Preserve me.
While I lay, looking through my glass coffin;
Resting on a fine, white bed of linen,
Allow my spirit to be purified.
As I am wrapped, embalmed and mummified
In the thick tars of refined bitumen,
Preserve me.

Strength
This night is mine alone but
All that I can do is taken from me
By something that I feel
My head is clear, my eyes are dry
But still there is something going through me
Its something all too real
Look around and hear the sound of things
That I can use to help me now
But I lack the strength
To walk alone
To stay away
From the telephone
Its much too hard
To fight my day
From day to day
And preserve my isolation and purity
So here I am, Ive worked so hard
Ive worked so long to be free of her
And still Im not all here
And I can hear her pain resounding now
But still Im living through her
I want to have her near
Come back down and look around
At broken thing shes spread out on the ground
But I lack the strength
To walk alone
To stay away
From the telephone
Its much too hard
To fight my day
From day to day
And preserve my isolation and purity
Come back down and look around
At broken thing shes spread out on the ground
Look around and hear the sound of things
That I can use to help me now
Come back down and look around
At broken thing shes spread out on the ground
But I lack the strength
To walk alone
To stay away
From the telephone
Its much too hard
To fight my day
From day to day
And preserve my isolation and purity

I am a Conservative to preserve all that is good in our constitution, a Radical to remove all that is bad. I seek to preserve property and to respect order, and I equally decry the appeal to the passions of the many or the prejudices of the few.

Understand The Beauty.
Women,
Preserve purity, reserve honesty,
Cultivate grace, inherit heritage,
Learn fine arts and own modesty.
You are a beauty, though not by looks.

...and In Every Home
You turn to the sinister when you get the boot
Sliding down the banister in your sunday suit
Lying on a slag heap of blankets and magazines
She's only thirty-five going on seventeen
You'd better roll over and go to sleep if you don't come clean
And in every home there will be lots of time
I will be all yours you might have been admired
(and in every home there will be lots of time)
They say they're very sorry but you are not desired
Oh heaven preserve us
Oh heaven preserve us
Oh heaven preserve us
Because they don't deserve us
Holding your life in your hand
With an artificial limp wrist
And so a young blade becomes a has-been
Looking for a new twist
A year after the wedding he broke all their china plates
He's in prison now she's running with his mates
Sees him every sunday
And he asks her where she's been
She's only thirty-five going on seventeen
She's going to cop a packet if he ever finds her
In between the sheets

Sometimes…Not….I Wonder…
Sometimes…..
I feel like we are soul mates
Sometimes not
Sometimes I see us happy and in love
Sometimes not
Sometimes I see us with children
Yeah 4 of them mafuckas
Sometimes not
Sometimes I see our courage, ability to take risks, and ambition coming between us
Sometimes not
Sometimes I look at your smile and I cry
Sometimes I wonder why
I’m alone and hurting without you
Sometimes I just want a husband-a family to call my own
Sometimes I feel as if I’m gonna end up a bitter young woman
Sometimes I wonder…..
Sometimes I wonder if my moods will push you away
If my tears will make you stay
If God will make a way
Sometimes I feel your presence
Sometimes not
Sometimes I feel as if no one and nothing can break us
Then I wonder if hip-hop can do it
The poppin’ and lockin’
Even a hip-hop plie’ got me wondering …
Is our love built on a foundation of principals, morals, and understanding?
Is it touched and anointed by God or is it just “there”?
A spectacle for all to see?
We got some decisions to make
Before sometimes becomes always
Then us will be no more
So let’s think, pray, and communicate
Let’s preserve what we have
Let’s preserve what’s beautiful
Let’s preserve our love
Wake up…Come on lover…
We got work to do!

Nature mother
That may remain so
As the time may pass and go
Nothing worthwhile may come
No change may take place to welcome
No one can offer change
As we have nothing to manage
We want quick and instant result
Nature has lost its galore largely built
We need to nurture
For our habitat with nature
We are destroying its core
Some precaution is needed therefore
We may last so long nature is strong
Preserve her and you may never go wrong
Earth is fine refuge for all of us
Let us preserve her with full trust
Natural resources may dry up
We may have show as flop
There will be no stop
For our greed to stop
I wish green forests
Let them remain expanded as best
Nature is friendly for all
Let us respond positively to the call
We will flourish and prosper
Along with mother earth and whisper
Oh, god you are so merciful and kind
Give us courage not to go blind
We shall strive hard to preserve
What is necessary to observe
We shall vow no to deforest the land
As they have stood by us as true friend

War and Peace
'There is in this world that eternal battle'
the General said
'between Good and Evil.
There can be no compromise;
each nation needs living space
and those who follow Evil
will not hesitate
to take yours
and that means,
some of the time,
War.
War is the ultimate expression
of Evil vs. Good
and inevitable.'
Peace spoke:
War is for those who profit from War
and every war ends in Peace
and diplomacy,
Why not skip the destruction and killing
save human lives
and go straight to the Peace?
Nation-State spoke:
Ah, you Peace forget War
is more than the interval between
the Peace
because War decides which people
will be free
and which people will be oppressed.
Peace you misunderstand;
soldiers fight to preserve their country-mens' lifestyles
their families
and those five dollar lattes.
Ah, indeed in War and Peace
someone wins
and someone loses' Nation-State said.
Peace spoke:
Well, Nation-State, that used to be true
but not anymore.
Nuclear holocaust has no winners,
only losers.
A radioactive planet
where no one can live
for a thousand years
is not victory
but massive defeat for everyone.
.
Nothing to celebrate.
You '
Peace said
to the General
'cannot fulfill your main mission
which is to protect the population.
The foe you fight can blow up
all of their nuclear weapons
and the fall out will drift and kill
the rest of us
without even an attack.
You soldiers have to learn new tricks.
You can't really protect us.
All that is gone. You have to retire that side-gun
and sit at the diplomat's table.
'Peace 'Peace said'
has come to depend upon successful social ecology
and restraining those who would have us kill ourselves
in order to preserve our lives.

In the West there has always been the attempt to try make the religious building, whether it's a Medieval or Renaissance church, an eternal object for the celebration of God. The material chosen, such as stone, brick, or concrete, is meant to eternally preserve what is inside.

To You
The gods and the saints preserve you,
'cause nobody here deserves you.
I'm living my life in flashback,
Since I lost my card for cashback.
and I've gone to rack and ruin,
Since I don't know what you're doing.
There's no clear or present danger,
That I see in any stranger.
Someone, somewhere, said to me.
Will someone, somewhere, marry me.
Well hurry up or, harry me.
Will someone, somewhere, marry me.
To you, To you, To you, To you.
The line on the screen has broken,
What once was asleep has woken.
I cover your face in make up,
Praying you'll one day wake up.
I've littered at life with magic,
Yet I'm neither dead 'nor tragic.
The gods and the saints preserve you,
'cause nobody here deserves you.
Someone, somewhere, said to me.
Will someone, somewhere, set me free.
From all that I'm supposed to be,
Will someone, somewhere, marry me.
To you, To you, To you, To you.

Condy, hold this back. George.
My Fellow Americans:
as loyal Americans,
we are committed to the spread of the freedoms
of democracy throughout the world
regardless of the cost,
to fight
so that peace may prevail
like oil on troubled waters. However
the forces of evil are insidious and
in order to resist them we must
be vigilant to root out the pernicious
forces of evil that are attacking
the very roots of
our own democracy. In 2005
I gave consent to wire-tap all
internal communications for
our own safety and the preservation of
our Am’r’c’nw’yl’fe and to limit
the right of free speech in order to
preserve the right to free speech
throughout the world.
But M’f’l’’w’m’r’c’ns - the
forc’v’l are unrelenting in their
campaign. I must therefore
ask you as true M’r’c’ns
to be vigilant to preserve our
w’life – watch those who claim
to be your neighbours – do not
hesitate to inform the r’l’v’t authorities
of any suspicions you may have. Even hearsay
will be recorded for future reference. Do not
fear for any loss of community spirit,
our Investigation Units only operate
in unmarked thought-conditioned vans
during hours of darkness. And to aid
your work for democracy I have
inaugurated, as your Commander In Chief
a Young Vigilantes Brigade of our
War for Peace Volunteers compulsorily enrolled
in each district.
My F’l’w’m’r’c’ns,
the price of peace is eternal vigilance
in order to bring peacenfreedom
to the world we must move forward and
abandon outmoded woolly liberal
concepts such as ‘peace’
and ‘freedom’ I am sure that
with your help, we shall win this
War for Peace G’dni’f’l’w’m’r’c’ns
and God bless America Who
Stands Alone for
Peace’nfr’d’m’nd’m’cr’cy
