'But it is always interesting when one doesn't see,' she added. 'If you don't see what a thing means, you must be looking at it wrong way around.'

Fundamental of Liar Chapter CII: little thing
Little thing sometimes forgotten, but it doesn’t mean it’s not important
Little thing sometimes neglected, but it doesn’t mean it’s not affecting
Little thing sometimes missed, but it doesn’t mean it’s not a threat
Little thing sometimes underestimated, but it doesn’t mean it’s not treating
Little thing sometimes ignored, but it doesn’t mean it’s disappeared
Little thing sometimes trifling, but it doesn’t mean it’s not needed

(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don't Want To Be Right
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If being right means being without you
I'd rather live a wrong doing life
Your mama and daddy say it's a shame
It's a downright disgrace
Long as I got you by my side
I don't care what your people say
Your friends tell you there's no future
in loving a married man
If I can't see you when I want to
I'll see you when I can
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
Am I wrong to fall so deeply in love with you
knowing I got a wife and two little children
depending on me too
And am I wrong to hunger
for the gentleness of your touch
knowing I got somebody else at home
who needs me just as much
And are you wrong to fall in love
with a married man
And am I wrong trying to hold on
to the best thing I ever had
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
Are you wrong to give your love
to a married man
And am I wrong trying to hold on
to the best thing I ever had
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
I don't wanna be right
if it means sleeping alone at night
I don't wanna be right
if it means coming home at night
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna never, never, never be right

Get On The Right Thing
All at once you get love on your mind
And your world is as kind as a penny
Oh.... and you knew it all along / you did the right thing
Believe me its true / and it can happen to you
All at once you get sound in your ears
And your cloud disappears into yellow
Well you know they were were wrong
Get on the right thing / well you knew it all along
Get on the right thing
Believe me its so / because I happen to know
Try a little love, you cant go wrong
Get on the right thing (repeat twice)
My little love you cant go wrong
Get on the right thing / get on the right thing
Get on tee right thing do / get on the right thing you
All at once we see things in our skies
And we both realize it together
Well you know they were wrong
Get on the right thing / yes you knew it all along
Get on the right thing / believe me its so
Because I happen to know / you cant go wrong
Get on the right thing, get on the right thing,
Get on the right thing / you cant go wrong get on the right thing
And try a little love / and it cant go wrong
Get on the right thing you etc.
Try a little love, you cant go wrong
Get on the right thing etc.

She Says
Sweet is the side
Of her room
Window open by candlelight
How would you know
Cold winter on the shore
Chills a dress she wore
It's on the floor
It feels so warm today
And that's why I'm wondering why
You had to tell me
What's goin on in your head
What's wrong
Come around to another time when you
Don't have to run
Chorus:
And when she said she wants somebody else
I hope you know
That she doesn't mean you
And when she breaks down and makes a sound
You'll never hear her the way that I do
And when she said she wants somebody to love
I hope you know
She doesn't mean you
And when she breaks down and lets you down
I hope you know
That she doesn't mean to
Yeah yeah... I know it
Swing into flight
Over hills
Over her hills it's twilight
Yeah, I guess that's right now
While we're here
Tell me why it's so funny
That you're so funny when you're mad
Always so mad, so mad
And that's why I'm wondering why
You had to tell me
What's goin on in your head
What's wrong
Come around to another time when you
Don't have to run
Chorus
Yeah and I don't know where
Come and find me
I don't know what
We're coming to and
I don't know what it means to me
And you don't know what it means to you
We're over now
Yeah

A Quiet Rap for Poetry Teachers
Words, they ‘mean’ – just, what they do;
and a poem means – just what it does;
if it doesn’t do a single thing for you –
that’s it, for now; let’s cut the fuzz…
it may be called ‘the greatest’ poem;
it may be utterly true;
but if it doesn’t do one little thing for you -
just put it aside for another time;
and let's all rap'n'clap this memorable rhyme:
'poems ‘ mean’ – simply – what they DO…
(1,2,3, and...) ...for ME..(5,6..) ......for YOU! '....
and that’s the end of my poetic beef –
I hope you find that some relief..
so rap it with me, all of you:
“ POEMS MEAN – JUST WHAT THEY DO! ! “

The Way Of Love
(olivia newton-john)
I believe one thing--you believe another
Doesnt mean Im wrong
It just means each of us has the right to choose
Dont let anything get in the way of love
I can love one god--you can love another
Doesnt mean Im wrong
Every soul is searching just to seek the truth
Dont let anything get in the way of love
I can sing one song--you can sing another
Doesnt mean Im wrong
Dont let anything get in the way of love
Everybody has to walk their path in life
When it comes to this there is no wrong or right
I can dream one dream--you can dream another
There is no wrong dream
Every heart is searching just to seek the truth
And every heart is beating with the way of love
Show our children
Its not black or white
Everyone decides
When love is with them
They are safe in its light
I can walk one road--you can walk another
There is no wrong road
Every heart is searching for the right way home
And every path will lead us to the way of love
Oh no dont let anything get in the way of love
I can sing one song--you can sing another
There is no wrong song
Lets not confuse it
I believe one thing--you believe another
Doesnt mean Im wrong
It just means each of us has the right to choose
Doesnt mean Im wrong
Dont let anything get in the way of love
Oh no dont let anything get in the way of love
I can sing one song--you can sing another
There is no wrong song
Lets not confuse it
I believe one thing--you believe another
Doesnt mean Im wrong
It just means each of us has the right to choose
Doesnt mean Im wrong
Dont let anything get in the way of love
I believe you believe we believe ah ha

What Christmas Means To Me
christmas
is for love
friends and family
christmas
is for peace
joy and happiness
christmas
is for having fun
laughing and talking
christmas
is for everyone
the rich and the poor
that's what christmas means to me
the presants don't mean a thing
unless you made it
or it came from the heart
cause the best gift of all
doesn't glitter or sparkle
it's not raped in ribbon or paper
it doesn't cost a thing
the best gift of all
comes from the heart
it's a song that you share
or a smile that you start
the best gift of all
doesn't come from the store
it's time spent
with you and me

What A Guy Wants
A guy wants the type of girl
That doesn't mind staying home
A guy wants a girl
He can call his own
He doesn't want a girl
Who will cheat
He doesn't want a girl
Who is cheap
He wants a girl
Who will be his best friend
He wants a girl
Who will love him to the very end
He wants a girl
Who he can depend on
He wants a girl
Who will tell him when he's wrong
A guy wants a girl
Who will never lie
Even if it means
One ends up crying
What a guy wants in a girl
Is passion and trust
But most of all
A guy wants to love and not to lust

War Means mutilation

And lays down their arms

Just Because
Just because you did
Doesn't mean that you should
Just because you can
Doesn't mean that you could
Just because you are able
Doesn't mean you would
Just because you sat
Doesn't mean you should‘ve stood.
Just because you spoke
Doesn't mean that you thought
Just because you looked
Doesn't mean that you sought
Just because you argued
Doesn't mean that you fought
Just because you dreamed
Doesn't mean that you wished not.
Just because you cried
Doesn't mean that you wept
Just because you had
Doesn't mean that you kept
Just because you cleaned
Doesn't mean that you swept
Just because you said yes
Doesn't mean that you accept.
Just because you gathered
Doesn't mean that you own
Just because you gave up
Doesn't mean that you were alone
Just because you saw
Doesn't mean that you were shown
Just because you expiate
Doesn't mean you should atone.
Just because your old
Doesn't mean that you have flaws
Just because you won
Doesn't mean you have to applause
Just because you waited
Doesn't mean that you paused
Just because you were you
Doesn't mean anything, because.

Next Big Thing
Things are changin' in the modern world.
It makes it kinda crazy for a boy an' girl.
An awful lot of noise on the radio.
It really don't rock, it really don't roll.
Well, a kid'll come along, make the young girls swoon.
They all put his picture in their pink bedrooms.
They all hail the brand new king.
Everybody's waitin' for the next big thing.
Big cigars an' diamond rings.
Ridin' all around in a limousine.
When you finally hit the top, man, you know what that means?
Well, everybody's ready for the next big thing.
For a little while, you can do no wrong.
Live it up, son, 'cause it don't last long.
There's always somebody a-waitin' in the wings,
Thinkin' they're gonna be the next big thing.
Big cigars an' diamond rings.
Ridin' all around in a limousine.
When you finally hit the top, man, you know what that means?
Well, everybody's ready for the next big thing.
I'll get a Camel hat, some real tight jeans.
I'll lose a little weight an' get a belly-button ring.
You better stand back, I'm a lean machine, yeah:
Baby, I'm gonna be the next big thing.
Big cigars an' diamond rings.
Ridin' all around in a limousine.
When you finally hit the top, man, you know what that means?
Well, everybody's ready for the next big thing.
Everybody's ready for the next big thing.

My Romance
My romance doesn't have to have a moon in the sky
My romance doesn't need a blue lagoon standing by
No month of may, no twinkling stars
No hide away, no softly guitars
My romance doesn't need a castle rising in Spain
Nor a dance to a constantly surprising refrain
Wide awake I can make my most fantastic dreams come true
My romance doesn't need a thing but you
My romance doesn't need a thing but you

You Love It and I Know It
Look...
Creature!
I can not treat you with respect.
You don't know what it looks like.
Or what it means to show it either.
No where inside my mind,
Is there a fantasy about you telling lies on me.
And pretending that's not done when I overhear you do it!
Do you see 'fool' written across my forehead?
'Do you want me to respond to that?
Lift up the horse tail.
OR should I tell you what it is I do see?
Which do you prefer?
An acknowledgement...
Or a discussion? '
You want to shine in public.
No matter to who's expense.
You cut off my sentences when I speak,
As if what I say makes no sense.
And completing my thoughts when they are yours,
And not mine...
Is getting exceedingly dangerous.
That 'cool' I hold?
Is not going to be kept that much longer.
I am in no competition with you.
You are going to say the wrong thing,
At the right time.
And my mind is going to forget,
It use to have common sense in it.
We are suppose to be together.
You know?
As a couple?
In a relationship?
'Let me know when you are finished.'
Oh...
Trust me.
I'm almost done with you.
'All-I-said-was-this...
The wig you have on your head,
Doesn't look as good as the one your sister has.
And the weave your father wears,
Does not look appropriate for a man damn near dead!
What was wrong with that?
The people gave you sympathy.
You were there when they held you when you cried.
I saw that.
And you say I am the one not understanding.
I understood that.
But I'm not the one trying to get attention.
You manage to do that all by yourself.'
Oh yeah?
I'm almost done with you.
You have no idea.
'Almost?
You love it and I know it!
I don't need clues to hunt around to see that.'
One day you are going to say the wrong thing to me.
And that might be heard by somebody else,
Who is not going to tolerate it.
'There you go...
Talking about the 'power' of God.'
