Let me give you a definition of ethics: It is good to maintain and further life it is bad to damage and destroy life.

What does that mean?
The meaning of life
The meaning of who you are
The meaning of our dreams
How can we define?
What all that really means
Is it the definition of?
Life
Dose that mean we can be
Anything we want to be
Or is it simply
Do what you say
And be forever free
Is it the definition of?
Who you are
Accept your fallacies
And be a better
Human being
Is it the definition of?
Our dreams
Dream the impossible
And live up to your dreams
And make them all real
Who really knows?
What it all really means

On Suicide
What I’m to say on suicide
It is sooo profund
There’s one thing I know ‘bout suicide:
YOU DON’T GET NO REFUND!
It’s not like if one day, let’s say
You should have a heart attack
You could go down to Medicare
And maybe get some money back
You cannot break the stuff of life
And then take it back to the shop
They would only laugh at you
And to your face they’d mock:
“Your broken life’s no good to us
A broken life will just not sell
Bring it back another day
When it has been made well.”
“The damage you had done to you
Is murder, can’t you see?
You have terminated your agreement,
Voided the warranty! ”
You can’t go back to God and say:
“My life, it is no good! ”
“I demand it be exchanged! ”
“My life I tell ya is no good
And I don’t care if it’s a sin,
If you do not exchange my life
I’m gunna chuck it in the bin! ”
Methinks with God that you may be
No, will be in a heap of strife:
“You threw away you chance at heaven
When you threw away your life! ”
“Oh God. Oh God” you say
“You are not any fun! ”
“Just let me have another go’
Let me have another run.”
Methinks that God may answer you:
“NO! ”
“My answer that I give to you, that I give to everyone:
You’ve broken all your trust in me:
There are NO refunds! ! ! ”

What is Life
What is life?
Who knows the true definition?
Is life everything that you want you gets?
If life a bowl of gravy and a bucket of biscuits?
Is life just one good time?
What is life?
Life is not knowing exactly what it is you want
Life is wanting to take it away but you can't because you cherish it too much
Life is being confused
Life is at times being angry and wanting to cry
Life is crying for no reason and wondering why
Life is finding love only to have it taken away
Life is allowing your heart to go astray only for it to be broken within a single day
What is life to me?
right now I can't tell
my life is sporadic
up today and down tomorrow
sometimes there's smiles, sometimes there's sorrow
my life is thinking you've got it only to find out that it was never there
my life is stressful for reasons that don't need to be
these reasons I still cannot see
What is life?
Can you tell me?

Dawns a New Year (2010)
The Old Year cruises smoothly off;
The New Year dawns across the globe;
It brings its surprises many –
Some of which we may like, dislike!
But this is how the world goes on;
The old must give in to things new,
As people wish for better days,
And give up bad habits and ways!
But toil is key to success prime;
Our resolutions must be good;
Keep to the ear-marked road, we must,
Till aims are accomplished with ease.
Keep God as guide in endeavors;
Let righteousness rule hearts and minds;
With morality, good ethics
And sense of values, forge ahead.
Let marriage keep its definition;
Let sex become not perverted;
Let life be revered right from womb;
Let sweet and healthy be each home.
Let love of brethren take first place;
Let peace prevail ’midst nations all;
Let charity to poor bring bliss,
Invoking blessings of Heaven.
‘Happy New year,2010! ’

A great Friend
The definition of a great

Sticking by you no matter what.
The definition of a great

To dry away wet tears when you are you are down
The definition of a great

To unstick you, when your struck
The definition of a great

To help you through the hard times
The definition of a great

To tell you when are wrong, to teach you to do riight.
The Definition of a great

You Will Damage It
Don't push it in! !
Rather leave it like that;
If not, you will damage it.
Don't push it in! !
Rather leave it like that;
If not, you will destroy it.
Image, age, page, sage, wage, cage, damage! !
So, be careful not to damage it;
For, the muse of love on this item needs a special care.

Dear Friends
Wake up all my dear friends
Carve out the road leading to an end
Must fight it out with ethics or no ethics
This is pure and simple mathematics
Each and every layer is polluted
The moral values are on decline and diluted
The brave and dead are saluted
Our voice is muffled and muted
What do we see for future?
No one can say for sure?
Children are unaware of tomorrow
How can we watch silently and grow?
To whom we shall stand to reply
To whom we should pray and try?
We have done enough of damage
Now there is no time left to manage
Let us see through reasons
There is no use blaming the persons
We are solely responsible for all sins
This has been on and continuously seen
What do we want to give to our next generation?
Secure future or ridden with lots of questions?
It has to be addressed with great concern
Tide will definitely cause damage in turn
We are finding short cuts
Find faults with ifs and buts
We have yet not learnt any lesson
There is lack of understanding with vision
Still it is not late
We can’t blame it on fate
We are the curse for downfall
Let us make it beautiful with positive call

I Wanna Destroy You
Originally recorded by the soft boys
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
I feel it coming on again
Just like it did before
They fill your mind with boredom
And they lead you off to war
The way we treat each other
Really makes me feel ill
And if youre gonna fight
Then youre just dying to get killed
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
A box upon the media
And everything you read
They tell you your opinions
And theyre very good indeed
I wanna destroy you
And when I have destroyed you
Ill come pickin at your bones
And you wont have a single item
Left to call your own
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
Wanna destroy you
Wanna destroy you
Wanna destroy you

Fantasy never hurt nobody, whatever chills the illin
When the everyday gets on your last 1, give it up and go
2 the place in everyones future, the good life - 1 day well know

Everyday after school, u know where 2 find this brother
Uptown at every movie show, outta my life 2 another
That was the only thing that I wanted 2 do, that was my drug of choice
Left all the funny smellin cigarettes 2 the american boys
La dolce vita was the knob that turned me on
Marcello mastroianni italian mac comin on strong
He had all the honies, the kind from the magazines
Small waist, big - right!... biggest ones uve ever seen
The good life (good life), 1 day thats what Ill be livin
Fantasy never hurt nobody, whatever chills the illin
When the everyday gets on your last 1, give it up and go

Mama worked all night, went 2 school by day
Wanted 2 get her master degree so she could make a better way
Set examples 4 her babies that well never forget
Thats where I guess my spirit comes from, eternally never met
Oh, the good life (good life), 1 day thats what Ill be livin
Fantasy never hurt nobody, whatever chills the illin (ooh, good life)

Hey, hey, hey!
Peace 2 the mother that knows
That the babies are the key 2 the world, key 2 the world
The battles of the future will be won
By those who teach those baby boys and girls
This is our plea 2 the brothers
Who are tired of the barely gettin by, instead u should try
2 see your future map out your steps
And make sure no 1 dies
The good life (good), 1 day thats what Ill be livin
Fantasy never hurt nobody, whatever chills the illin
(1 drop of blood aint worth forsaking your dreams)
When the everyday gets on your last 1, give it up and go
(music, sports, fashion, whatever)
2 the place in everyones future, the good life - 1 day well know

The good life (good life), 1 day thats what Ill be livin

Lust versus Ethics
Lust never rests
Between two souls
But tends to crossfire.
She drew to me closer
While at work we were.
There were under-currents
Deep in the placid ocean.
She feigned her presence
Propelled by Lust,
But refrained from advance,
Repelled by Ethics.
Be merry, Lust lured;
Be virtuous, Ethics warned.
Is she to give in or not?
Lust and Ethics were at war.
I felt her and smelt her
But bent not to taste her,
Yet it is as much worth
As if she was tasted.
A flower when smelt
Is not spoilt but is, when plucked.
So she is not abducted.
Lust and Ethics were at par.

Anyone whose attention and love are really directed towards the reality outside the world recognizes at the same time that he is bound, both in public and private life, by the single and permanent obligation to remedy, according to his responsibilities and to the extent of his power, all the privations of soul and body which are liable to destroy or damage the earthly life of any human being whatsoever.

What is life?
What is life? This gives me a big problem!
What is life? More difficult to write in a poem!
What is life? Bewildered and confused me a lot.
What is life? How much you say it is short!
What is life? Different people have different opinion,
What is life? Among people nothing is common.
What is life? No one satisfied with the conception and definition!
What is life? Every one is leading a life of dissatisfaction!
What is life? A bottom of depth-less deep,
What is life? Who dares to fathom it?

Am I Crazy
Words that keep on coming
into my crazy mind, but why?
they enter they run around,
confuse, they drive me mad.
Nuisance this world of ours,
silly too the words that come,
they go away to come again,
in and out, they roundabout.
Turning they fly into my mind,
where or how who made these
crazy words come in, silly too
To I find my mind so troubled.
Am I mad, am I sane, am I crazy,
am I nuts, am I around the bend,
am I creating, do I have a problem,
do I have a gift for crazy thoughts?
Is it wrong to question, wrong to ask,
is the world mad or am I pretty dumb,
or should I become like a good sheep,
become a flock, a clique, a tag along?
I need to have an answer or a reply;
life is everywhere, so beautiful to see,
people love, they have their families,
they help each other, they marry too.
In all the crazy words, questions found;
if our world is full of beauty, full of growth,
if we love someone who is a human being,
a member of the human race that cares.
Most try to make a better world to live,
yet some who believe in this or that,
try to sweep the love the care away,
they kill, they hurt, they make the war.
Why use weapons to destroy beauty
of our world, make the bombs, the guns
that kill, spoil our world, hurt, injure
wound people, damage work that’s built?
If you can say my crazy words are wrong,
and give good reasons why you’d rather war,
kill people, destroy their homes their lives,
destroy trust, truth, spread hate not love.
Than live a life of love, harmony, of peace.
Convince me of your love for all mankind,
Only then and with much persuasion will I
be a good sheep, who follows, tags along.
Indifferent, unconcerned by worlds at war.

Theses, faeces, syntheses
O the language of the thesis!
O the octopus of Academe!
‘As I argued in my previous book,
‘Some definitions of ‘definition’ in contemporary philosophy’ –
an argument which I hope to pursue
in a following volume, (and I quote) :
‘to define what we mean by ‘definition’
we must first consider
the nature of definition:
can it be itself defined? Is
its definition itself a retreat
from what definition defines? …’
and the wood of academic chairs
creaking as a lecture ends,
from which once the young sap rose
like the hope of definition
dries, decays and dessicates.

Football, that's just athletics. But in the business world - doing everything - people are competing. So you need good work ethics, and I think it helped me to develop good work ethics, being in a small town.

If people knew of ethics violations, they should have sent them to the Ethics Committee. If you think there was serious ethics violation that ought to be looked at, you don't hold it back for retaliatory purposes.

Everyone
Some see life as a fairy tale,
a place where everything will come true,
Many see life as a reflection of themself,
Looking in the mirror to find every answer,
But for those who see life that way will soon get a wake up call,
Life is not a fairytale,
were everything comes true,
and life will NEVER be a mirror of you,
beacuse not everything is about you,
For those who see life as a refection or a fairy tale,
need to step away from the mirror,
put down the book, take a step back,
and take a look at reality! ! !
You can stand in the mirror your whole life,
BUT no matter what the damage will always be right behind you,
So take a step back and look at the damage that will
ALWAYS be right there witing! ! !

But Don't You Give Up, Man!
When things go wrong as they sometimes can,
Think afresh, find the cause(s) and solve;
But Don't You Give Up, Man!
When troubles come incessantly,
Maintain your calm, just do your best;
But Don't You Give Up, Man!
When hounded by ‘foxes and wolves',
Find an exit or climb a ‘tree',
But Don't You Give Up, Man!
When failures stare in ways galore,
Recharge and make a newer start,
But Don't You Give Up, Man!
When feeling lonely, forsaken,
Remember God is your best friend,
But Don't You Give Up, Man!
When facing life's ‘troughs, vales and downs',
Think of the mounds and hills near-by,
But Don't You Give Up, Man!
When caught by wrong foot in your life,
Use the other, steady your stance,
But Don't You Give Up, Man!
When pushed towards the ledges's edge,
Apologise and save your life,
But Don't You Give Up, Man!
When found amidst life's storms and gales,
Be patient till the calm arrives,
But Don't You Give Up, Man!
When grief and sadness overwhelms,
Take heart again, for bliss is near,
So, Don't You Give Up, Man!
