I'm addicted to email, but other than that, there are practical things - being able to buy a book on the internet that you can't find in your local bookshop. This could be a lifeline if you live further from the sources.

Lifeline
Changing her colours shes off to the shore
She rides the soul train and he fight the law
Theres a power in his voice and it makes her feel so sure
So live and live in love
One day hell build a statue with his hands
So gentle when he tries to understand
This subterfuge he never really planned
Now youre living in the lifeline
Were moving
In the lifeline
Were walking
In the lifeline
Were throwing
So live and let live in love
Exchanging their letters their exits begun
With deathless precision hes aiming his gun
A democracy of sorts that justifies the sun
So live and let live in love
Neither has the ghost of a chance
Those decisions only can be made once
You never really know just what youre giving
Till youre living in the lifeline
Were moving
In the lifeline
Were walking
In the lifeline
Were throwing
He could have built a statue with his hands
So gentle when he tries to understand
You never really know just what youre giving
Till youre living in the lifeline
Were moving
In the lifeline
Were walking
In the lifeline
Were throwing to you
But Im not living

Im Addicted
1, 2, 3, 4!
Look around this dirty town
Drink it up till we fall down
Dont want to live forever this way
But its gonna have to do for today
Oh, Im addicted - as I want to be
Im addicted - as I want to be
Im addicted - as I want to be
Im addicted - as I want to be
Before that hurried call
I had my back against the wall
No, dont want to be shown
Go out and learn your own
Oh, Im addicted - as I want to be
Im addicted - as I want to be
Im addicted - as I want to be
Im addicted - as I want to be
1, 2, 3, 4!
Before that hurried call
I had my back against the wall
No, dont want to be shown
Go out and learn your own
Oh, Im addicted - as I want to be
Im addicted - as I want to be
Im addicted - as I want to be
Im addicted - as I want to be
Im addicted - as I want to be
Im addicted - as I want to be
Im addicted - as I want to be
Im addicted - as I want to be

I find I use the Internet more and more. It's just an invaluable tool. I do most of my research on the Net now - and certainly do the bulk of my communicating through email.

Lifeline
I was in some timeless place;
Timeless face; my embrace
Held empty air and empty space,
All on a sunny day.
She lived by the bounding main.
To baltimore, I took a plane.
An east coast lady lit my flame
All on a sunny day.
I was in some dreamless sleep
Where angels watch as lovers leap;
Some of them landed on their feet,
Living the lifeline straight.
She was like the breath of spring
When flowers grow and robins sing,
Keeping me from the pouring rain
All on a summers day.
Theres a lifeline that I know
And it holds me back and lets me go.
Whatever I do, I dont live my lifeline straight.
So it goes as lifetimes pass,
From heart to mind and back again.
My restlessness becomes a flame,
Letting my lifeline show.
She stood by the boundless tide,
Afraid to ride, afraid to hide,
Letting her conscience be her guide,
Needing a lifeline so.
I was in some aimless state
Where lovers meet while angels wait.
With gifts of time, they hesitate
All on a sunny day.
She lived by the bounding main.
From baltimore, I took a train.
An east coast lady lit my flame
All on a summers day.
Theres a lifeline in my soul
And it holds me back and lets me go.
Im in love, so Ive been told,
Letting the lifeline stay.
Ive got a heartline in the air,
And if you listen for me, youll find me there.
Whatever I do, I dont live my lifeline straight.

I've never had Internet access. Actually, I have looked at things on other people's computers as a bystander. A few times in my life I've opened email accounts, twice actually, but it's something I don't want in my life right now.

Lifeline
Well Im not superstitious
But theres something
Going on inside
Could be friendly, could be vicious
And there isnt any place to hide
Its my imagination
A blessing or a curse
No, I cant ignore it
For better or for worse
It wakes me when Im sleeping
A thief that takes my breath away
And I find myself
Reaching for a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline and
Bring me back in time
I need a lifeline, throw me a lifeline
Im going down for the last time
Sometimes I cant control it
Sometimes it isnt there at all
Sometimes I try to roll it
And wind up staring at the wall
My imagination
I love the games it plays
I get in so deep that I get lost
For days and days
It sometimes leaves me shakin
Standin in the dark alone

Internet Cyberspace Slices Mind Time
who pays the piper
to play his pipe
children now on skype
follow in no groups
jump through no hoops
live in chicken coops
facebook email takes time
computer games hours do bind
internet cyberspace slices mind
never time to run catch up
many thoughts never written
shared in presence spoken
social networks
finger spoken
take list token
chance Russian roulette
six cylinders spinning
interactive rapport missing
imaginative creative childhood powers
story book adventures mysteries
cannot now compete with computer keys?

Your letter is beautiful
Your letter is beautiful
and tells about things deep in your heart
but what lies between the lines
are unnamed things
that you are saying anyway.
To eagerly I want you
here with me
and it’s as if you
cannot untie time
to make yesterday
today again.
Sometimes you email
and at times I email you
and life takes its course
and like somebody raving
I feel caught in it all
as if there’s always a goodbye
between you and I
and the letter
ends much too quickly.

Breadline
Aint got no job
Aint got no smoke
Aint got a car
His lifes a joke
Living on the skids
Thinks the worlds just fine
Forgot what he did
Dancing on the breadline
No one there to bind him
Nothing to remind him
Nowhere left to find him
About to lose his lifeline
Hes dancing on the breadline
Forgot who he is
Forgot who he was
Used to call the shots
Now he cant connect the dots
A mover and shaker
Getting closer to his maker
Lower than a hemline
Dancing on the breadline
No one there to bind him
Nothing to remind him
Nowhere left to find him
About to lose his lifeline
Hes looking for a headline
Sniffing up the white lines
Hes dancing on the breadline
Watch him dance
About to lose his lifeline
Hes looking for a headline
Sniffing up the white lines
Hes dancing on the breadline
About to lose his lifeline
Hes dancing on the breadline
No one, nothing, nowhere
Dancing on the breadline
He forgot and he aint got nothing

Un Conference In Dubai Nov 13th,2012
If most UN conferences are now held in Dubai
Maybe the whole UN should move there and say goodbye,
We don't seem to know much of what is happening over there,
Being as oil-rich as they are, is extremely rare.
Have you heard the UN may soon control the Internet web?
With International Telegraph Union rules - their spider web,
They'll decide at another UN conference soon in Dubai,
For us the results could mean the Internet goodbye.
And how will Canada vote at that conference over there?
This could mean a lot to those of us; Internet aware,
Canadian Civil Liberties wants to veto this UN event,
But UN dictatorships want to monitor their own local dissent.
They and their UN dictator friends like this whole affair,
Under the wire and completely out of the public glare,
Which is why they are now writing the new regulations,
Don't you dare point a finger at their UN foundations.

Three Dog Night
Chuck Negron
who I did meet
is really sincere
and really sweet.
I told him I wrote
'Poems of
Inspiration
and Recovery'
People who
read them
can feel
better with discovery.
My poems have
words in them
like the word
“pray”.
These poems
where on
display
in Hazelden Ctr.
that very
same day.
Now he did
sign my book
writing to my
alias Suzae.
The book he
wrote is
“Three Dog Nightmare”.
describing
his life which
is almost like
one of Razel’s
“Frightmares”
It’s about
his drug
addiction
& his word
of hope,
for anyone
addicted to
or strung out on dope.
Now buy it on
Amazon or at
your local bookstore,
it’s worth every penny
and then some more.

Lifelines
One time to know that its real
One time to know how it feels
Thats all
One call - your voice on the phone
One place - a moment alone
Thats all
What do you see?
What do you know?
What are the signs?
What do I do?
Just follow your lifelines through
What do you hate?
What do I do?
What do you say?
Dont throw your lifelines away
Dont throw your lifelines away
One time - just once in my life
One time- to know it can happen twice
One shot of a clear blue sky
One look - I see no reasons why you cant
One chance to be back
To the point where everything starts
Once chance to keep it together
Things fall apart
Once I make us believe its true
What do we see?
Where do we go?
What are the signs?
How do we grow?
By letting your lifelines show
What if we do? what up to now?
What do you say?
How do I know?
Dont let your lifeline go
Dont let your lifeline go
Dont let your lifeline go

Friends Across The Internet
This poem goes out to all my friends wherever they may live.
Someone said to me recently
you cannot count people on the internet
really as your friends.
When asked why not?
They replied, you never see them,
never touch their hands,
so you really cannot count them as friends.
I disagreed with them entirely;
friends are what you make people.
Maybe you cannot see them,
nor touch them physically,
but when you write to them,
you feel you know them;
sometimes more than
those you meet everyday.
My wish is one day
I will be able to meet all of them
and give them a big hug individually,
to show them they really are a friend to me.
I have met a few already whom I care a lot about
and I worry about them when troubles come their way,
but there are many more whom I have yet to meet.
They live in distant lands,
many thousands of miles from me
and I am going to do my best
to visit them one day,
so don’t be too shocked of you get an email from me
saying I am coming your way
on such and such a day.

Addicted To You
I am addicted to you.
So what can I do?
but accept what has happened to me?
You're my personal drug
each time we hug
my body turns out to be
at peace once again and not so uptight,
no shaking, no headache in sight.
I am addicted to you.
The need in me grew
from the very first time that we kissed.
You're my personal high,
the reason why I
know that you are why I exist.
I know that all's well
and there's nothing to fear,
no frightful event will appear.
I don't need a drink,
I don't need a smoke.
These things I will never do.
My needs are not bad.
In fact I am glad
that I am addicted to you.

A web of lies
As I lay down in my bed
and cry
I realise
It was all a web of lies
I was deceived
as I misconceived
the one identity
that I even had to question
my own sanity
I became a fatality
an instant causality
of using this facility
with hidden negative opportunites
called the internet
A web of lies
spun on the internet
Right in the chat room
dusted into my corner with a broom
I wanted to believe
I do not know why
hence created a world of my own
email addresses
flashing me messages
as cold as any marble stone
The truth was blown
When I heard my clowns on the phone
Be careful
Take care
I say with a sigh
It was all a web of lies
