Art is not the application of a canon of beauty but what the instinct and the brain can conceive beyond any canon. When we love a woman we don't start measuring her limbs.

Canon Square
In Canon Square
The sun beat down
One white-gloved Sunday
Warmed the town,
But suddenly
The weather changed
And everything
Was rearranged,
The sun went out,
The sky was grey,
And folk remember
To this day
The rain beat down
In Canon Square,
The rain beat down
And had her share.

The greatest block today in the way of woman's emancipation is the church, the canon law, the Bible and the priesthood.

Eat It All
Of life and war!
Of a mighty malak with a rainbow on his head;
Seal up those things for many to learn.
They were meant for the future,
They were meant for us to learn;
So take up my love and eat it all day long.
Of a reed like a measuring rod,
Of the two olive trees;
But do let your mind be at peace always.
Of a weed like a measuring rope,
I am the one for you;
Of a seed like a measuring hope,
I really know what you want on this love;
And it is all about the love that we share,
Like the sweet food of my love to you.
To eat the sweet fruit of my love,
Like the little book beside you;
Of the feed which is like a measuring harveat,
Of the deed which is like a measuring vision,
But to heed like a measuring mission on this love;
Eat it all to satisfy yourself because,
Love is all that we share now.

The mouth of a canon is less dangerous than that of a scandalmonger.
The voice of the people is louder than the boom of a canon.
Canon law itself says for one case of guilt, a priest can be dismissed from the clerical state. One.

During the engagement I tried to throw a strong force through the canon, but I was obliged to use it elsewhere before it had gotten to the supposed location of the village.

Inaudible prayers, particularly of the Canon, which at first don't seem to have anything to do with music, end up being a very important part of the aesthetic of the traditional structure of the Mass.

After the war, prompted by the Cardinal Archbishop of Paris, I entered Parliament so that a priest could speak out for the poor, as canon law at that time still permitted.

The Western musical canon came about not merely by accumulation, but by opposition and subversion, both to the ruling powers on whom composers depended for their livelihoods and to other musics.

At The Grand Cañon
Wind of the desert, softly blow
Across the cañon shining wide.
Lightly among the temples go
That rise in towers of pride.
Soft, lest they float away
Out in the azure day!

Beauty of A Woman
The beauty of a woman
is not in the clothes she wears,
the figure she carries,
or the way she combs her hair;
and...
The beauty of a woman
is not in a facial mole, but...
true beauty of a woman
is reflected in her soul.
The care that she gives, and...
the passion she shows; would be the...
beauty of a woman's character that grows.
Phenomenal Woman: A Lady with love.
Phenomenal Woman: An Angel above.
Phenomenal Woman: An Image of God.
Respectful, kind, and not of a facade.
A Poet with love; her age just a number,
this Woman of God would NEVER slumber.

A true servant of God will never teach a false doctrine. He will never deny new revelation. He never will tell you that the canon of scripture is full, or that the New Testament is the last revelation ever intended to be given to man.

Wild Fire Woman
I'm gonna drive my car, way
across the border,
'Cos she's the only one, she keeps my mind in order.
I'm not a bad man, but I know
where I stand:
If I have your love, gotta have your love in my hand.
Yeah, come on boys......
It takes a good man, yeah, to know
a good woman.
I ain't so much a good man as one who needs loving.
I'm a driving down the highway getting closer to your love,
I'm going pretty fast now, but it ain't fast enough.
Listen.
Wild fire shooting thru my veins,
Burns a fever to my brain.
Wild fire woman, something
you got,
I start to shiver when you do that,
Do that baby, now.
It takes a good man, to know a good woman.
I ain't so much a good man as one who needs loving.
So I'm a burning up the freeway, ain't nothing in sight,
You know it takes a whole lotta loving,
To keep me driving all night, hey.
Wild fire shooting thru my veins,
Burns a fever to my brain.
Wild fire woman, something you got,
I start to shiver when you do that,
Do that baby.
Wild fire shooting thru my veins,
Burns a fever to my brain, oh.
Wild fire woman, something you got,
I start to shiver when you do that.
Wild fire shooting thru my veins,
Burns a fever to my brain.
Wild fire woman, something you got,
I start to shiver when you do that,
do that, baby. Do that, do that, baby.
I start to shiver and shake, I just can't wait,
I start to shiver and shake,
I just can't wait.
I start to shiver and shake, ha, now baby,
I just can't wait, driving down the highway,
Yeah, yeah, oh.
I'm driving all night......

Awesome Beauty
When the golden sunset
Sets over the amber hills
And when the moon shines bright
And all the world stands still
There is beauty, awesome beauty
God took the dust and formed a man
He paints each sunrise with His hand
He took all the love within His heart
And gave us beauty from the start
There's beauty, awesome beauty
When the storm clouds come
And thunder rolls
When skies are dark
And it hardens the soul
There's beauty, awesome beauty
God took all the love within His heart
And gave us beauty from the start
There's beauty, awesome beauty
Through every age
There is a call
To admire the creation
He gave us all
It is beauty, awesome beauty
See the beauty, hear the call
Enjoy the life He gave us all
God took the love in His heart
And gave us beauty from the start
There's beauty, awesome beauty

C'est à coups de canon qu'on rend le peuple heureux
C'est à coups de canon qu'on rend le peuple heureux.
Nous sommes revenus de tous ces grands mots creux :
- Progrès, fraternité, mission de la France,
Droits de l'homme, raison, liberté, tolérance. -
Socrate est fou ; lisez Lélut qui le confond ;
Christ, fort socialiste et démagogue au fond,
Est une renommée en somme très surfaite.
Terre ! l'obus est Dieu, Paixhans est son prophète.
Vrai but du genre humain : tuer correctement.
Les hommes, dont le sabre est l'unique calmant,
Ont le boulet rayé pour chef-d'oeuvre ; leur astre,
C'est la clarté qui sort d'une bombe Lancastre,
Et l'admiration de tout peuple poli
Va du mortier Armstrong au canon Cavalli.
Dieu s'est trompé ; César plus haut que lui s'élance ;
Jéhovah fit le verbe et César le silence.
Parler, c'est abuser ; penser, c'est usurper.
La voix sert à se taire et l'esprit à ramper.
Le monde est à plat ventre, et l'homme, altier naguère,
Doux et souple aujourd'hui, tremble. - Paix ! dit la guerre.

Beauty of a Woman
The beauty of a woman lies in her silence
Rather than her speech
The beauty of a woman lies in her patience
Rather than her inquisitiveness outreach
The beauty of a woman lies in her experience
Rather than her age
The beauty of a woman lies in her veil for awhile
Rather than her face
The beauty of a woman lies in her submission
Rather that her dominance
The beauty of a woman lies in her smile
Rather than her laughter
The beauty of a woman lies in her abode
Rather than her adventure
The beauty of a woman lies in her offspring
Rather than herself ever
The beauty of a woman lies in her heart's spring
Rather than in skin cover

Empty And Broken Hearted
You'll always be in my heart
From now to eternity
My thoughts will be on you
Ever since I left I felt empty
Something was missing
my body doesn't feel the same
Pieces of me are gone
that will never return again
the tears I cry will only ripple within your name
I'm like a vase
with no water and no love
I miss the days that went by
and the days that will never be once more
With out you is like being on a drained out subway train
Wanting to stay on but wanting off at the same time
Or a scary rollercoaster wanting to get on but last time
You thought it nearly killed you so you want to
Stay away and yet if that one person asked you you'd ride it again
Sitting here wondering if your breathing or not
Is like the echoing in my brain between the two canon walls
Just becoming more and more of a fade in the wind
That fills the space that holds nothing
My heart was once crammed to the top and
Poring out to others
I held it so high once
Then April 11 came along
In that team of seconds
My heart went from high up in the air
Felling my hole entire body with love to
Dragging on the ground bleeding and in pain
Bare drained traumatized and unfilled with love

Sonnet: War Ain’t The Solution
The troops of two nations stand either side
Of line of control, threat'ning each other;
And fire shells, missiles, canon-guns: hide;
Brother is pitted 'gainst his own brother.
One blames the other for this situation;
And die Jawans daily in more numbers;
United Nations advises 'caution';
The rest of world in selfishness slumbers.
A war could start between two good neighbors
Over the issue of a piece of land!
The war could rope in umptine new members;
Yet, Terrorists are taking upper hand.
Can Peace be ushered by confrontation?
Nay, War's a thing that’s worth condemnation
