Paradoxical Freedom Of Utopian Welfare
Paradoxical freedom of utopian welfare
Paradoxical freedom of utopian welfare state
Decorates the coffin of innocent plebiscite
Dodger leads the dancing steps for packed fodder
Loop-holes curtains for the hidden ventilation
Helpless voice of powerless position teams
Tried to shape the route of the ethics
Hurling of abnormal elements on procession
Proclamation to light the shining Sun
Wandering in somnambulism to reach goal
Locked the symbol of awakening all
Hanging on the power lines to put the cut
Even the natural flow is subsidized
Swallowed by our shadow itself waiting for sympathy
Digging the contaminated clouds in search of the hopeful seeds

Paradoxical as it may seem, to believe in youth is to look backward; to look forward we must believe in age.

Fundamental of Liar Chapter CIX: Power
The one who doesn’t have the power always looking for the stronger one
The one who has the power never wants it slip from his finger
The one who no longer has the power still acts like he has the one
The one who under influence of power still thinks he holds the control
The one who doesn’t have interest in power is actually chased by the power
The one who dislikes using the power is definitely a liar

The POWERFULL
I am the power
Below my bower
Are decided
The bullet’s shower
I am the power
If you are rebel
But are capable
I would help you
Like the crow’s pebble
I am the power
If you are weak
My help is bleak
Let you not shriek
Due to oppression
I am the power
All kinds of “cracies”
Are my policies
Brutal use of power
Are my legacies
I am the power
All organizations
Are in collaboration
Always abet me
In all possible fashion
I am the power
Poor are exploited
Rich are invited
For attaining coffers
Looted from the blighted
I am the power
My ostensible fights
For the all human right
Are my devices
That help me flight
I am the power

An evil shadow across my brain
A certain buring that makes me insane
Shes on my beam oh no shes in my room
Shes al around me now and Im a tool

She says she wants to have some fun, well, hey
She calls me over on the sidewalk
Shes got a joint, shes got a cute walk

Im so pent-up, like this I cant stay
Ive got to look this in the eye
Im much too crazed, Im much too shy
But all in all, at least I am i
Oh my oh my oh my oh my
Pussy power

The Power Of Smile
The power of a gun can kill
and the power of Fire can Burn
The power of wind can chill
and the power of the mind can learn
The power of anger can rage
inside until it tears u apart
But the Power of a Smile
especially yours can heal a frozen Heart

Fondness
it is indeed paradoxical
when one misses the one who is not missing somebody
when the fondness rests on the arms
of the cruel warrior
when love is like a bird that always leaves
the present season
looking for that which ambushes it for the
kill.

Pointless To Make Attempts WITH Common Sense
Is a power taken,
The same as a power given?
And how much power,
Does a power that has been taken have...
If those that did not give it,
Deem it as useless?
And if those who deem a power taken,
As being useless...
How powerful can that power remain?
And over what or whom,
Does one with useless power...
Have it kept in their minds believed?
It is pointless to make attempts,
WITH common sense...
To anyone who has money,
That money hoarded has no power at all.
It is only when it is distributed,
That the power of it is most effective.
One's greed,
Eventually defeats a blinded perception.
