In a finite world this means that the per capita share of the world's goods must steadily decrease.

Hai Scelto Me
Hai scelto me? Oh no.
Quando capita...
Ho scelto te? Non lo so
quando capita,
so che mi sento diverso...
Quasi disperso
hai scelto me
e adesso che... e ...
Ho scelto te,
amore mio,
se ti capita,
fa che sia tutto diverso...
Fa che sia tutto diverso...
C' un uomo perso
sul treno che precipita...
che un cielo terso
accendi il blu
se tu...
Hai scelto me?
Passa di qui
se ti capita.

The life we need.

Our World of Love
A world no one else can penetrate
A world only we two share
A world full of memories all our own
A world where tears have been shed
A world where laughter has rung very loud
A world we built ourselves
Our own little world of love

The great successful men of the world have used their imagination...they think ahead and create their mental picture in all it details, filling in here, adding a little there, altering this a bit and that a bit, but steadily building--steadily building.

Poets (excerpt)
3
What can I do, blind and outcast
In a world where all are fathered and sighted,
Where passions go over anathemas
As if over embankments! Where a lament
Is called - sniffles!
What can I do, by rib and Providence
Singing! - Like a wire! Sunburn! Siberia!
I travel my delusions - like a bridge!
With their weightlessness
In a world of weights.
What can I do, singer and firstborn,
In a world where the blackest - is gray!
Where inspiration is kept, as in a thermos!
With this infinity
In a finite world?!

We have one of the highest interest rates in the world, and we owe more money per capita than any other country. All we need is a nail hole in the bottom of the boat and we're sunk.

The United States, per capita, at a certain period in its history, had the most junkies of any country ever in the world - right after the Civil War. The most brutal war, the greatest amount of casualties that America's ever had.

Politicians preaching -on tv
Saying nothing but -vote for me
Everybody, everywhere
We got a love, got a love
Got a love we gotta share...
One better world
One better world
One better, better, better world
Papers feeding -lies each day
Are you believing -what they say?
Pulpit preachers -selling god
Making big bucks -is that enough?
Everybody, everywhere
We got a love, got a love
Got a love we gotta share...
One better world

One better, better, better world
Someway - somehow - some place - somewhere
Let the lion lie down with the lamb
Someway - somehow - some place - somewhere
Dont use the colour of his skin to judge the man
Someway - somehow - some place - somewhere
Does it matter if youre gay or if youre straight?
Someway - somehow - some place - somewhere
If it does you fill this world with hate
Underneath a flag
Love is just a name
But underneath the moon
We are all the same
Every boy, every girl
Everybody, everywhere
We got a love, got a love
Got a love we gotta share...

So?
...oh, the rat says
she has her own world to share
with all the twists
and short stories to tell
but nothing
about poetry
lest she be nothing but
a second rate trying hard
copycat
she is honest
and means every word
and means that what she says
is her own world shared
the messy room? the missed momma
the hardwork in the office
all these stuff
on the other hand
i still assert
that we too write for other people
empathize with them
and they too become sources
of our own literature
a shared world
a study
a way of putting our own feet
in their own shoes
and i tell her too
i am missing
i lose myself in the world of other people
and find myself
under the moon
hanging its face on the twigs of a
tree
that i too feel the shadows
of the wind
hear the voices of the desert
attentive
to the protests of the waves
of the sea
the rage of the storm
the implacable
chatters of those who
never want to die
as early
as the bud that the
child nipped.

Complicated Melody
If he were a color
Hed be a deep dark forrest green
If he were a car
Hed be a long stretch limousine
With room for all of humanity inside
Cause he is so giving
And he is so wise
If he were a number
Hed be a five cause he has such a brilliant mind
If he were an animal
Hed be an ass cause hes so stubborn sometime
But if he were a song
Hed be a complicated melody
That complicated fellow he
I almost can not sing it on key
But he means the world to me
If he were a building
Hed be a beautiful cathedral
Cause hes so traditionally spiritual
If he were a dance
Hed be complicated like the tango
Exotic like a mango
But if he were a song
Hed be a complicated melody
That complicated fellow he
I almost can not sing it on key
But he means the world to me
He aint the reason for the sun and the moon
He is just the reason for this here tune
Cause he means the world to me (ooh ooh)
Said he means the world to me
Me me me yeah
He means the world to me yeah
Complicated melody that complicated fellow he
Hes a complicated melody
I almost can not sing it on key

Seeing the world with god
i look through my body
at the world, the stars, moon
stars beyond stars
i know there are stars, moon
stars beyond stars too
from my temporary sphere
the aura that shines
from this physical self
the trillion of cells
all the moving atoms,
electrons, protons
the universe inside and out
i look at them
from my infinite self
god the puppeteer
shrewdly playing
the beginning, the end
the two walls
between the human brain
the man innocently walks
to oblivion
some attempt to broaden the width
others like me attempt to
to burst out of the walls
to take a peep outside
the limitations, this physical self
the world outside
the god inside and out
the moon, sun, universe
the things outside
i too have become a galaxy
as i join god to take
a look at his worlds
a meteor flashes by
a cell loses hold
flushed by blood
to another world
an infinite me
looking at the finite me
all the stars, moons,
universe outside
and inside
all the cells that i own
that soon would
squeeze me out
to join the plane
where i could view
the beat of the universe
the expansive universe
myself a galaxy
the zillion of selves
those stars, suns
spinning towards
a full stop?
eternity?
the human brain
stretched towards
a world of no end
suffocated in its attempt
i stand beside god
for just a moment
to take a peek at
all his workings
wondering all the motives
behind his pupputeering
the moons, the suns, the universe
the cells acting out his drama
round and round
casting off light
i saw a star burst
light light years away
the cancer patient
carrying a cell
that too has burst
soon to cast that black hole
over the finite self
the infinite journeys to
rest on another finite self
the universe
i standby the creator
to look at his puppeteering
wondering his motives
in his design
the privilege he gives me
to share a view
of his craft
my mind flying
outside the two walls
of the brain
instead of between
infinity
my body
the universe
i look at them
like the stars, moon, meteors
this infinite me
with a finite self
of stars, moons,
stars beyond stars

The Easter egg is a sign of fertility

You hear about our peace keepers being sent to Afghanistan
World wide
They hear
About the soldiers we lost
When are we going to pull out of Afghanistan?
World wide
Is hunger and poverty
Why don’t they spend the money wisely world wide?
Why don’t they end the war world wide?
They don’t even seem to get tired
I am already tired about listening to it
And to know that it is going on world wide
When are people going to share a moment of silence world wide?
And share the truth with one another world wide
We are loosing this battle world wide
What can we learn from this battle world wide?

Sir Geoffrey Saved The World
Ah.....
Evry days saturday , feeling in steadily
Laughing at people with stars in their eyes
Vicker hays approaching town , preaching in the underground
Talking with the lambs who came out of the sky
You know how sir geoffrey saved the world
You know how sir geoffrey saved the world
Dinner time , anytime, see a crown ,should be mine
Evryones grabbing but no one will get
Sunny day , should I care, taking in the garden air
Evryones happy though no one can see
You know how sir geoffrey saved the world
You know how sir geoffrey saved the world
Ah...
You know how sir geoffrey saved the world
You know how sir geoffrey saved the world
Evry days saturday , feeling in steadily
Laughing at people with stars in their eyes
Vicker hays approaching town, preaching in the underground
Talking with the lambs who came out of the sky
You know how sir geoffrey saved the world
You know how sir geoffrey saved the world
You know how sir geoffrey saved the world

The shortage of buyers, which the world is suffering from, is readily understood, not as due to people not wishing to obtain possession of goods, but as people being unwilling to part with something which might earn a regular income in exchange for those goods.

Sharing
If every life learned to share
A happier world we would have
We could share our lives
And share our thoughts
Without any kind of recrimination
We could share our love
With all the strangers
That may come our way
Around the world
Making new friends wherever we go
If sharing was not just a dream
Paradise at our feet
Would unfold
There would be no more poverty
For every crust of bread, we’d share
We can only dream that one day
Many hearts will beat as one
Many minds will think alike
No more terrors will strike discord
And sharing will become the word
