And there was a real shedding of the old dogma, like boundaries of morality were being broken down and everybody was into the new party mode of just loving on each other. Which destroyed thousands of us. I lost 16 of my personal friends through that lifestyle.

I Am Aroused
I am aroused.
Because of the state of my lifestyle.
It's simple and basic from greedy needs.
And this has me happy...
Like no one would believe.
I am...
Aroused.
Because of the state of my lifestyle.
It's simple and basic from greedy needs.
And this has me happy...
Like no one would believe.
Economics use to rob me,
From a peaceful sleep.
Thinking who to impress and to please.
When I got 'downsized'
My heart I thought would stop.
Seeing myself broken and on bended knees.
But,
I got...
Aroused.
A pity party started but I took my leave.
I didn't want nobody pity me!
Somehow,
I-got-aroused!
And started the beginning of a new lifestyle.
It's simple and basic from greedy needs.
And this has me happy...
Like no one would believe.
Happy like a monkey,
In a banana tree.
Economics use to rob me,
From a peaceful sleep.
Thinking who to impress and to please.
When I got 'downsized'
My heart I thought would stop.
Seeing myself broken and on bended knees.
And no pity party started was a remedy.
No pity party started was for me.
Then I got aroused.
And this has me happy...
Like no one would believe.
This has me happy and relieved.
No pity party started was no remedy.
And now I.Am.Aroused!
Because of the state of my lifestyle.
It's simple and it's basic from greedy needs.
And this has me happy...
Like no one would believe.
A pity party started had to leave.
I saw no pity party as a remedy!
No pity party started was for me.
Nope.
No pity party started was for me.
Nope.
No pity party started was for me!

My Best Friends
For JoAnn and Meggie
There are two young ladies
I think of as my best friends.
If ever I have a problem
that was eating away at me
I could go to either of them
and they would comfort me.
I’d do the same for them
at anytime night or day.
Not only are they my best friends,
they are my writing partners in poetry
when we write under
JoJo Bean, Dodgy Dave and Meggie Gultiano.
Although we have never met
as each of us live thousands of miles away,
they are still my best friends.
Some may never understand
why I say that at all,
they may even argue that statement
saying how can you be best friends
with people you have never met.
I’d reply just look at the poetry
we have together written
it speaks of three writing together with one voice,
of friendship with a deep loving bond for one another.
Therefore, when I say they are my best friends
I say that with sincerity,
and my words come from my heart.
Therefore, ladies now you know
just what you mean to me
and I want the whole world
to see and understand
that best friends can live anywhere
even in far off distant lands.
Friendships hold no boundaries
and are not restricted by what we are.
The key is how you feel
towards every one of them.
I have been lucky in having many friends
of many religions, nationalities and creeds,
but JoAnn and Meggie are my best friends,
and I know it will always stay that way.
Thank you ladies
for always being there for me.

Where's The Party
Where's the party (party, party)
Where's the party (party, party)
Show me the way, show me the way
It's like a holiday
That happens everyday
I get to celebrate
No matter what you say
When I get real bored
I want something more
I never lose my head
Cause I know the score
Show me the way
Show me the way
C'mon, show me the way
Where's the party?
All I Wanna do is have some fun
Where's the party?
Party all night 'til I can't go on
Where's the party?
All I Wanna do is have some fun
Where's the party?
Show me the way, show me the way
One thing I know
Is when I feel low
I never have to worry
Got a place to party
no one's getting mean
It's so obscene
No matter what goes down
I just get what I need
Show me the way
Show me the way
C'mon, show me the way
Where's the party?
All I Wanna do is have some fun
Where's the party?
Party all night 'til I can't go on
Where's the party?
All I Wanna do is have some fun
Where's the party?
Show me the way, show me the way
Where's the party, where's the party
party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party
p-p-p-party
Show me the way
Show me the way
C'mon, show me the way
Where's the party?
All I Wanna do is have some fun
Where's the party?
Party all night 'til I can't go on
Where's the party?
All I Wanna do is have some fun
Where's the party?
Show me the way, show me the way
Show me the way, if you show me the way
C'mon show me the way
Where's the party?
All I Wanna do is have some fun
Where's the party?
Party all night 'til I can't go on
Where's the party?
All I Wanna do is have some fun
Where's the party?
Show me the way, show me the way
Where's the party, where's the party
Where's the party, where's the party
Show me the way

Then he saw also that it matters little what profession, whether of religion or irreligion, a man may make, provided only he follows it out with charitable inconsistency, and without insisting on it to the bitter end. It is in the uncompromisingness with which dogma is held and not in the dogma or want of dogma that the danger lies.

Got A Lot O' Livin' To Do (Film Version)
Oh yes Ive got a lot o' living to do
A whole lot o' loving to do
Come on baby, to make a party takes two
Oh yes Ive got a lot o' living to do
A whole lot o' loving to do
And there's no one who I'd rather do it with-a than you
There's a moon that's big and bright in the milky way tonight
But the way you act you never would know it's there
So baby, time's a wasting
A lot of kisses I ain't been tasting
I don't know about you but Im gonna get my share
Oh got a lot o' living to do
A whole lot o' loving to do
Come on baby, to make a party takes two
Oh yes Ive got a lot o' living to do
A whole lot o' loving to do
And there's no one who I'd rather do it with-a than you
There's a balmy little breeze
That's whistling through the trees
And it's telling you to pitch a little woo with me
Why don't you take a listen
You'll never know what you've been missing
Cuddle up a little closer and be my little honey bee
Oh got a lot o' living to do
A whole lot o' loving to do
Come on baby, to make a party takes two
Oh yes Ive got a lot o' living to do
A whole lot o' loving to do
And there's no one who I'd rather do it with-a than you
You're the prettiest thing Ive seen
But you treat me so doggone mean
Ain't you got no heart, Im dying to hold you near
Why do you keep me waiting
Why don't you start co-operating
And the things I say are things you want to hear
Oh got a lot o' living to do
A whole lot o' loving to do
Come on baby, to make a party takes two
Oh yes Ive got a lot o' living to do
A whole lot o' loving to do
And there's no one who I'd rather do it with-a than you

Day Of Sorrow
Two black jets destroyed
our buildings.
We lost our friends and
our famalies.
It was the day that we
put aside our personal
troubles.
Work side by side to
rebuild our tomorrow.
Not let evil keep us from
working together and
continue with our lives.
Our land is strong, we
fear not evil we will
prevail.
Evil will never win.

Evil
Evil, why have you engulfed so many hearts...evil
Evil, why have you destroyed so many minds...
Leaving room for darkness, where lost dreams can hide.
Evil, why do you infest our purest thoughts, with hatred.
Evil, why have you stolen so much love...
Leaving everyones emotions lost and wandering free.
Evil, why have you taken over gods childrens eyes...evil
Evil, before they could really grow to see,
That your way, is not the way, to make, life what it should be, yea, yea, yea
Evil, why have you destroyed, youve destroyed so much of this doggone world...evil
Evil, oh, why have you broken so many homes...
Leaving everyones emotions lost and wandering free.

Ugly He Was Born
ugly he was born
even her mother had second thoughts loving him
his father disliked him
junked him from his
masculine affairs,
but he learned a lot
from being unloved
he keeps on knowing
what love is by loving
more those unloved
around him,
he sketched the faces
of those who were always set aside
or left out
those whose faces
do not matter
he learned all these
sufferings in his heart
kept the feelings
inside him like a big
book to read
when he is lost
in pain,
he did not stop loving
and those unloved
felt him, so real
he is real,
he is real
they call him real
somehow, he felt the
comfort of his real self
ugly, yet by now
so confident
to be himself
and not be somebody else

All I Want
All i want,
is the memories of us,
Like the one we use to know,
In between the pain and hurt,
We didn't realise what we were losing,
I didn't realise that i had lost,
The one thing that meant everything to me,
A family that was whole,
But now it broken and unbalanced,
My life is like a jigsaw,
But all the pieces don't seem to fit,
Tears fall from my eyes,
And roll down my cheeks,
As i think of what I lost,
A family,
Now i'm living in a world of distruction,
A destroyed world,
Broken, unbalanced,
I'd crawl across the world,
I'd go to hell and back,
If i can just have my family back
And i don't want love to destroy me,
Like it destroyed my family,
It ain't easy growing up in World War 3,
Never knowing what love would be,

Humanity Have Got Lost
Mosques are ruined
Churches destroyed
Castles, thousands and thousands years lasting a huge culture ruined destroyed Ah for the sake of human being greed
Alas for what are all these harmful deeds
When the humanity will find a little bit peace
As long as within hearts the brutality for the sake of stillness will survive
As long as the insensibly of human being will allow him to harm his fellow man for a bit of bread
As long as the pities are frozen to kill innocent children
Ah those innocent kids their hunger and their poor tears never will find an end
Ah those bloody tears of poor mothers when will find an end
Alas my fellow man as long as you don't have a pity
As long as the brutally of your heart allows you to kill your fellow man
The peace is lost
Alas humanity have got lost.

Personal
Its not personal
You didnt let me down at all
No, its not personal
Its how the world goes round, is all
Ive got some loving but it aint for sale
- give it free to you, my friend
Somewhere further down the trail
Il be pulling out again
Its not personal
Dont let it underneath your skin
No, its not personal
Im only breathing out and in
Im just moving on
Because the groove has gone
Im just stealing down the line
And its fine
Woke up this morning, I was all alone
Instead of her I found a note
I guess my bluebird just came home
For these are all the words she wrote...
Its not personal
You didnt let me down at all
No, its not personal
Its how the world goes round is all
Its how the world goes round

Gavel And Cost!
has it always been easier
to kill your brother than
to listen to your brother?
that which we kill for
fades with time,
and is lost...
the gods we worship,
printed in denominations,
shipped in barrels!
who are we lying to?
we dig graves like
we're burying treasure.
morality driven by profit,
profit at the expense of...
we drench the streets of hell
with urine and holy dogma!
the faces in the mirror,
both gavel and cost!

Sans Abris
Ends that justify the means
Dogma evokes obedience
Conscience deceived
Deaf to suffering
Silencing morality and screams
As you look away
Reality is what you want to feel
And what you want to see
Rationalize
To overcome the guilt
Your self righteous certainty
Shatters as you become prey

Heavens What I Feel
Oooouoooohoooo...mmmm...mmm
Love sometimes
Can be like destiny....
Theres no way to say forever
May not realize your dreams
And love sometimes
Is like the blowin wind
It can take us to wherever
Sending us sometime it wings
But I have broken
All the rules of love...
I never dreamed that
I could come this far....
And now Im lost in my emotions
Youre becoming my devotion
Theres nothing I can do
To stop this love for you...
I was not supposed to fall in love with you
I have someone else....
Someone else is loving you
And I was not supposed to
Let this love get through
(let love get through)
So let me say for real....
Heavens what I feel
When Im with you...
(this feeling is forever)
It is forever...
(you make me feel like heaven)
I feel like heaven
(my love is true when Im with you... ooh...oooh...you...ooo)
How could I have known that in your eyes
(in your eyes) I would find the deepest answer
To the questions of my heart
And how could I have known
That by your side
(by your side)
Was the light to fill the darkness
And the shadows of my life
But I have broken all the rules of love
I never dreamed that I could come this far
And now Im lost in my emotion
Youre becoming my devotion
Theres nothing I can do
To stop this love for you...
I was not supposed to fall in love with you
I have someone else....
Someone else is loving you
And I was not supposed to
Tet this love get through
(let love get through)
So let me say for real....
Heavens what I feel....
When Im with you....
(this feeling is forever)
...ooou..ooou...oooo
(you make me feel like heaven, my love is true, when m with you.. ooo...ooo..hoo..hoo)
(heaven....heaven...)
Is what I feel when were together
(heaven....heaven...)
Just look in my eyes and youll see its come true.....
I was not supposed to fall in love with you
I have someone else....
And someone else is loving you
And I was not supposed to let this love get through
(let love get through)
So let me say for real....

Im Broken
I wonder if well smile in our coffins while loved ones
Mourn the day, the absence of our faces, living, laughing,
Eyes awake. is this too much for them to take?
Too young for ones conclusion, the lifestyle won.
Such values you taught your son. thats how.
Look at me now. Im broken.
Inherit my life.
One day we all will die, a cliched fact of life. force fed
To make us heed. inbred to sponge our bleed. every
Warning, a leaking rubber, a poison apple for mingled
Blood. too young for ones delusion the lifestyle cost
Venereal mother embrace the los$. thats how
Look at you now. youre broken
Inherit your life.
