An engaged woman is always more agreeable than a disengaged. She is satisfied with herself. Her cares are over, and she feels that she may exert all her powers of pleasing without suspicion. All is safe with a lady engaged; no harm can be done.

The most important thing for anyone, I think, is to be engaged, whether you're an artist or a journalist is to be engaged in the process at some level.

As far as the mechanics go, working with other people on received ideas was for me a very interesting technical problem. I can't say that any of my collaborations engaged my heart, but they engaged the craftsman in me.

Lets Stay Engaged
It might be late
but it won't be early
you got me to the gate
with time for a coffee
it's getting late
sounds like a departure
it's getting close
sounds to me like a departure
Until we meet again
lets stay engaged
until then
lets stay engaged
Lies over time
float to the surface
lies over time
they equal surface
lies over time
though the reasons desert us
lies over time
with no apparent purpose
Until we meet again
lets stay engaged
until then
lets stay engaged
See the dead art
and you see your reflection
fear no art
and you fear no reflection
but don't look at me
I'm not the artist in question
sounds good to me
but I'm not the artist in question
Until we meet again
lets stay engaged
until then
lets stay engaged

Scorching Summer In 1981
in 1981
i met her
she was then
a poetess
we were engaged
to talk
and so we had
a tryst
under a tree inside
that walled house
it was summer
and the grasses were
all brown
it was a useless
meeting
we did not say anything
we were meant for
nothing
we were only engaged
to talk

Sinners
He fell for her daughter;
She fell for him later.
There came in no protest.
He engaged them both.
***
He fell for her mother;
She fell for him later.
From them came no protest.
He engaged them both.
***
He fell for his neigbour;
His son too fell for her.
Silence was the protest.
She fed them both alike.
***
A mother was his beloved;
Her daughter was his son’s.
Wordless was the protest.
Each engaged the other.
***
Sinners make friends

I have investigated the dust-heaps of humanity, and found a treasure in all of them. I have found that humanity is not incidentally engaged, but eternally and systematically engaged, in throwing gold into the gutter and diamonds into the sea.

He who knows not how to employ his leisure hath more cares on his mind than the most busy of busily-engaged men.
Research is starting to show that a child should be engaged at least 20 hours a week. I do not think it matters which program you choose as long as it keeps the child actively engaged with the therapist, teacher, or parent for at least 20 hours a week.

The partisan, when he is engaged in a dispute, cares nothing about the rights of the question, but is anxious only to convince his hearers of his own assertions.
Pulling Your Own Weight
Individual,
Caught up with a smiling lady!
Interacted,
Engaged with a lovely lady!
Conversation,
But you stopped your act with the status of your muse!
And like carrying your own load and pulling your own weight,
But i am ambushed in the night always by your love.

Powers Engaged
The return of the teacher and the return of love,
But the mind which can examine issues impartially tells the truth;
For a man is what he is because of what he thinks in his mind.
Wash me and cleanse me with your kiss,
For the heavens and the earth with listen to us;
Because you are the patience of my heart and,
I am the one for you on this love that is hidden inside you.
Like the powers engaged to uplift your dreams,
Come and be impartial to the truth;
For a woman is what she is becuase of what she thinks in her mind.

The music teacher
An autumn lady hired an autumn man
To teach her daughter, the spring, music.
Whether the spring learnt or not music
The lady engaged him to play her music.

One Earth and One Sky
The sky is one
The earth is one
But we are not one
We are divided in the name of
caste, creed, race, religion and culture
and so many other differences
Science has developed
but could not adjoin us
it is a pity?
why we are unable
to understand feelings of others
Are we blunt?
The birds are better
they can fly anywhere
but where we are?
Are we engaged
only to rejoice the reins
and powers
Must not we proceed
we simplify our action
accessible to all

I See No Reason Why We Can Not Stay Engaged
Why do you wait to the last minute,
To change your mind.
And show just how indecisive you are.
The next time,
Whatever it is you say...
Do not expect me to be there.
It's too embarrassing.
Especially returning gifts...
With a 'Thank You' note.
'Maybe we should stay engaged.
Everytime I see you walking down the aisle...
You look completely different.
Dressed in white AND behind a veil.
You should see it from my perspective.
That's the only reason why I asked the minister...
How much time could I take before I said 'I Do'?
I just want to be sure.
What's wrong with that?
We've been living together for ten years without a contract.
I see no reason why we can not stay engaged.
That's the only part of our relationship that seems to work.
And has lasted for years.
Oh...
What about the towels?
Are you returning those too? '

The teenage acts
A lady, of an aristocratic look,
Older than me who myself am old,
Seated beside me in a concert,
With oval face, prominent nose,
And pouted mouth,
Drawn to narrow chin,
Despite wrinkled skin,
Kept me engaged through out.
Next day I went to see her in vain.
I recollect my teenage acts.

Who Told The Development Worker
That the ghettos
Have scaled eyes
To see the mammoth gap
Between the engaged and disengaged?
What a myth, yet same eyes!
That the North’s
6th Century old citadels
Are rebuilt annually
For having employed
The rife “low cost” materials
What a lie, yet we realise!
That the uplift
Needed by Africa now
Should be in hundreds
But the North’s was in billions?
What a difference, yet same dollar!
That the North’s periphery
Lifted-off without gasoline?
The heartthrob of development
What a slow mind
Oh! African development worker!
Dedication: To all humanity who strive
to see Africa awakened from her
deep slumber of economic backwardness.

Highway Lady
Run down, low down, dont feel tired
Take no orders, dont get fired
I waste away cruisin along
* fighting blizzards, ragin storms
Hold the wheels tight, know Im born to ramble on
Cruisin along
But I stop, turn my head around
Sleep until tomorrow, in my arms
In my arms,
Highway lady, lorelei, dream the big time high above
Highway lady, high on wheels make you smile again
How she feels
Found my way to spanish stairs
Small corruption, no one cares I taste a lie
Cruisin along
* repeat
* repeat
How she feels
Highway lady, highway lady highway lady, highway lady

ONE AIN'T ENOUGH....by Talile Ali
I CAME HOME EARLY
WHAT DID I SEE
2 MEN BOTH IN MID-STROKE
DOIN MY HONEY
I SAID 'WHAT JA DOIN? '
THEY SAY 'THIS LADY'
MY WOMAN'S, SHE'S SMILIN
SAYS 'WHEN THEY'RE DONE, YOU DO ME! '
MY HEAD WAS SO TRIPPED
FEELIN' DAZZLED AND SORE
MY BABY CALLS OVER
SAYING 'COME DO ME SOME MORE'
SHE STOOD THERE ALL NUDE
I WAS PISSED AS HELL
I GRABBED HER AND TURNED HER OVER
AND I DID HER REAL WELL
WE WERE BOPPIN AND POPPIN
AND MY STYLE WAS SUPERB
AND SHE WAS SO ENGAGED
THAT I FORGOT MY BAD SPELL
I WANTED TO FEEL REAL PISSED
BUT THE REAL SIMPLE FACT
IS THAT WHEN SHE IS DOING IT
SHE'S AS HAPPY AS ALL THAT
MAYBE WE'RE DIFFERENT
MAYBE WE'RE NOT
MAYBE WE'RE JUST HONEST
THAT'S WHY MY BABY'S SO HOT
ALL I CAN SEE
IS THAT SHE'S OK
JUST ONE DUDES NOT ENOUGH
AND I THINK I'LL KEEP HER THAT WAY
