In Touch With Self
Status and who has it...
Isn't often in appearance detected.
Status and who has it...
May be influenced,
By one's ability...
To be in touch with self.
And many try to keep this out of reach.
Since a status had that one has and keeps,
Can not be taught to teach.

A Sad Thing
Some say life is like a ship
Sailing in the ocean of acid
A voyage coloured with hardship
A journey filled with bullshit
Survival is the most reality
Status measures sanity
Especially one with prosperity
Have-nots are labeled as vanity
One individual will only exist
When other people notice
Like fire with oxygen
Like a narcist with his reflection
What a sad thing life is
If every living soul sees
Survival of the fittest is
The only law that exist
Luckily, human needs to create
To socialize and to debate
To realize and to relate
Relationship and faith
Relationship is connectivity
One connects to the other party
Nothing will disrupt the clarity
As long as both maintain honesty
Relationship is synchronization
That requires collaboration
Each must realize the benefit
Before it actually succeed
Faith is a relationship
That requires complete partnership
It's indistinct and confusing
Yet exist and influencing
Some believe faith is vertical
While socializing is horizontal
Thus, one can remain faithful
While being fool and hateful
Like some murderous extreemists
Proud, sacred, and optimist
Killing in the name of faith
Bombing for a status of saint
What a sad thing world is
If oneself' perspective
Is considered the only truth
While everything else is falsehood

Pride attaches undue importance to the superiority of one's status in the eyes of others And shame is fear of humiliation at one's inferior status in the estimation of others. When one sets his heart on being highly esteemed, and achieves such rating, then he is automatically involved in fear of losing his status.
Rwanda was considered a second-class operation; because it was a small country, we had been able to maintain a kind of status quo. They were negotiating, they'd accepted the new peace project, so we were under the impression that everything would be solved easily.

Opportunities In Chaos
It's amazing
What chaos can do
What could have been done
To hurt you
Utterly destroy you
Somehow results as
Motivation to
Promote you
To do the very things
You werent aware
You could actually do
So be encouraged in tough times
As you maintain status
Restoring the person
On the inside
While keeping views
your clear

Who Has Been In Charge of the Press Releases?
As long as we keep them depicted,
As needy heathens...
This will provide all the incentive we need,
To maintain our delusions.
With the same marketing tactics.
And keeping those ignorant believing we are better.
Who has been in charge of the press releases?
I don't care who they voted for!
This 'liberal' atmosphere has gotten out of hand.
Before you know it...
Everyone will believe they are here to 'think'.
And we will lose our status of being a great people.

There Were Giants
Scientists have worked hard to suppress
Giants walked upon the Earth long ago
Dismiss all evidence with great success
Their goal? Maintain 'The status quo"

Who Was The Guilty One?
One was never the one
guilty guilty...
of not loving
other partner enough.
You were meant
to be with me...
eternally but your not.
Therefore
committed you were not...
equal to
a great love
or supreme sacrifices...
needed.
Were you too afraid
to commit to love...
in a gross material age
where everything
is sold at...
market price?
Does your job status
justify justify...
your menial existence?
Or is your life
still meaningful...
with status but no love?
Or is your life
still meaningless...
with status but no love?
One life in the material
where status reigns supreme.
One life in the ephemeral
walking back beyond between.

Without Druthers
One thing said and done by one,
Will be found replusive and often shunned!
But the same thing said and done by another...
Gains much approval and accepted without druthers.
It all depends on 'who' finds this offensive!
And the status one claims,
To 'certify' such obscenity over ruled...
With 'retooled' defenses!

Praying To Maintain Their Status
There is nothing more exhilarating,
Than being in an environment...
Of children raising children,
And none of them are nourished...
With an influence meant for them to grow.
And surrounded they are,
With opportunities to have fun.
Leaving them free of accountability.
And anyone attempting to have some,
Is regarded as a threat to broadened any aspect...
Of a higher consciousness.
With an observation of them,
Praying to maintain...
Their status as victims.
And succeeding.
There is nothing like witnessing,
The feasting done of this.

The people have already determined Chechnya's status at the referendum - it is a unit of the Russian Federation. Its political status is not to be discussed any more.

Status
Check your status
And ascertain
What would happen
After the leaves
Turned grey.
My status has no
meaning without my mother
My status is with my mother
My mother is not with me
I could not keep my mother with me
You are the proper person
To ascertain not I.
I am my father'son
Please ascertain
That I tilldate failed.
I could not understand
My position
I could not stand in my line.
My position is in crack
Not in bending down.

One's Social Heirarchy
Losing one's ability,
To maintain both credibility and integrity...
With one's social heirarchy attacked as well,
Is far worse than losing one's credit rating status.
Although for the sake of appearances,
One can always repair one's ability to borrow...
With a promise made to repay and keep that faked.
However...
A falling from grace on one's face,
Does not provide a backup to cover.

Status anxiety definitely exists at a political level. Many Iraqis were annoyed with the US essentially for reasons of status: for not showing them respect, for humiliating them.
