The progress
Cooking invented, I have lost my teeth.
Tools invented, I have lost my hands
Carts invented, I have lost my legs
Electricity invented, I have lost my sight.
Calculator invented, I have lost counting.
Computer invented, I have lost faculty
Internet come, I lost neigbours.
Is mankind on march to stability?

Console game publishing has become more like theatrical release film-making and it is very hard if you are not one of the major publishers, and even for them it is hard unless they are working with major game brands.

My Bow To The First Man
My Bow to the first man
To the first man and women who born
On this earth
To the first man who eat something
To come out of hungry
TO the first man who made a tent for him
To the first man who invented fire
To cook his food
To the first man who found water
Which satisfy his thirst
To the first man who seeded
First plant to produce food
To the first man who used
Sharp object to kill wild animal
For his survival
To the first man who made horse
As his travel animal
To the first man who found
Agriculture as his necessity
To the first man who invented
Language for communication
To the first man who made his
Life with wife
To the first man who got a child
Of his own to build family
To first man who invented
Pain reliever for wounds
To the first man who invented
Social life by making villages
I bow my head before their feet
And remember them always

The First Poets
The First Poets hunted game in the forest and on the plains-
inventing signs and gestures; guttural sounds and mime-
and ultimately Words.
The First Poets wrote words and drew pictures
on the walls of caves
stamping their feet to drum-beats;
learning to dance.
The First Poets invented music for their words
religion, books and counting-conjuring up
in each instance-new things.
The First Poets imagined names for plants,
animals, birds and creatures of the sea;
sang songs about them-wrote poems and hymns.
creating sentiment, vows and promises-
marriage ceremonies.
Poets invented the idea of the Idea, of kindness, and visions.
Poets invented hope and the future, love of the past, community.
Poets invented the rhythm of our lives.
Poets re-invent themselves and civilization each generation.
They peer into the gauzy dream and dream what is not yet;
they peer inside themselves
reaching in
with-drawing something new
from that which had not been
there
before.
The First Poets invent and re-invent civilization each generation.

A Conceited Mistake
Once upon a time there was a mistake
So silly so small
That no one would even have noticed it
It couldn't bear
To see itself to hear of itself
It invented all manner of things
Just to prove
that it didn't really exist
It invented space
To put its proofs in
And time to keep its proofs
And the world to see its proofs
All it invented
Was not so silly
Nor so small
But was of course mistaken
Could it have been otherwise

His Smile
He smiled … it was as if I’d never seen
a smile before; as if, that moment, God
invented smiles; as if there’d never been
a reason for a gift that was so good…
He smiled… as if from every day and year
of his own life, with each its gratitude
to give assurance, that we’re living here
to fill our living with that godly good…
Was this how angels smile? Was this as God –
who has no need to smile – and thus, whose smile
may be unbounded, when he sees mankind
now in His image, shining as He shines?
Was this the peace on earth of God’s first dawn?
Mandela smiled.. and mankind was reborn.

The Game Is On
Have you seen
This little toy
When youre down
It gives you joy
You escape reality
Delve into its tv
Screen
For the rich and for
The poor
For the even more
Secure
Doesnt matter where
You are,
Where you go or where
Youve been
Well, theres still no
Guarantee
For your virgin mind,
You see
Just go on and play
The game
You will surely go
Insane
The game is on
And you have gone
Gone to a world
On its display
And the game is fun
But when it has won
All you ever hear is
What it says
Theres a great
Amount of fumes
Coming out from
Somebodys room
The firemen got
There
Making their way
Up the stairs
Find a man in a chair
But it doesnt seem
Hes there
With a grey box
In his hands
He has gone to
Another land
The game is on
And you have gone
Gone to a world
On its display
And the game is fun
But when it has won
All you ever hear is
What it says
You have played it much
Too long
Now your senses get
Things wrong
All your walls come
Crashing down
Now its time
For you to frown
Howd you like this
Heavy load?
Guess your brain will
Soon explode
You never had this
Ugly feel

Images
Images.
Images invented.
Images invented to cement.
Images invented to cement and limit,
To give images purpose and intent.
A reason to solidify limitations that prevent,
A bombardment of unrestricted imaginations.

Sedan Delivery
Last night I was cool at the pool hall
Held the table for eleven games
Nothing was easier than the first seven
I beat a woman with varicose veins.
She stopped to see herself in the mirror
Fix her hair and hide heir veins
And she lost the game.
Next day I went to the dentist
He pulled some teeth and I lost some blood
Wed like to thank you for the cards you sent us
My wives and I were all choked up.
I recall how caesar and cleo
Made love in the milky way
They needed boats and armies to get there
I know theres a better way.
I saw the movie and I read the book
But when it happened to me
I sure was glad I had what it took
To get away.
Gotta get away, gotta get away
Gotta get away, gotta get away
Im making another delivery
Of chemicals and sacred roots
Ill hold what you have to give me
But Ill use what I have to use.
The lasers are in the lab
The old man is dressed in white clothes
Everybody says hes mad
No one knows the things that he knows.
No one knows, no one knows
No one knows, no one knows
Im sleepin in every hallway
I just cant accept the stares
Im using too many covers
Im warm now so I dont care.
Im thinkin of no one in my mind
Sedan delivery is a job I know Ill keep
It sure was hard to find.
Hard to find. hard to find
Hard to find. hard to find

The character I play is a wonderful compilation of things I hate about myself and things I love about myself and things that I've invented to make her even more interesting than me.

It avoids a self-conscious relationship to the act. We live in the most self-conscious society in the history of mankind. There are good things in that, but there are also terrible things. The worst of it is, that we find it hard to give ourselves to the cultural process.

Random Thoughts
Honestly, I don't have any strong opinions anymore.
I'm not passionate about anything in my old age,
and I suppose that I don't really care
what your opinion of things is either
because circumstances never stay the same
making you have to reposition yourself eventually.
In other words, why even bother arguing and pretending
as if we are certain of things
that have some sort of invisible seismic force
swaying the ground under our feet?
So the bottom line is
don't waste my time telling me
everything you think you're sure of
unless you are capable of respecting
what I don't know.
You wanna know what I really care about?
What I REALLY care about is
that no one has invented a preventative
to those little gnats
hovering over my wine glass as I write this.

Name Of The Game
No one believes me
Someone conceived me
A fluke in the night of obscurity
Played by millions simulcast by a few
A city no lights such a great view
Its all very strange its the name of the game
(chorus 1)
Its all the same its never gonna change
Its the name of the game
Over and over and over again
Time after time after time
Over and over and over again
Love is the name of the game
Come around and see me analyze or analogy
Ill give you a clue what you really need
If things get bad then things can get worse
Remember surrender remember the verse
Its all very strange its the name of the game
Its all the same its never gonna change
Its the name of the game
Over and over and over again
Time after time after time
Over and over and over again
Love is the name of the game
I say hold on tight
Say hey youre doin it right
As I wish for a full dream flight
Night after night Im a knight
Over and over and over and over
And over and over again
Time after time after time
Over and over and over and over
Love is the name of the game
And then it came to me
Its just a game to me
Love is the name of the game

Mankind is on a Journey,
Mankind is on a Journey,
Mankind is on a Journey,
Mankind is on a Journey,
It is Very Hard in Great Tribulation,
Flow with the Fowls,
Witness Evil and Kill it,
Then see how the Trodding will not be a Great Tribulation anymore,
But Prosperity to Human Knowledge.
