If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem, but the perpetual human predicament is that the answer soon poses its own problems.

If you don't want to have to kill or capture every bad guy in the country, you have to reintegrate those who are willing to be reconciled and become part of the solution instead of a continued part of the problem.

An Open Heaven
The bell of the horses,
The noise of the lambs,
You are part of the problem;
And i am just a passing glance.
An open heaven,
To the land of plenty;
You are part of the solution and,
I am just a pasing glance.
An open love,
A message to the head of the house;
Live by every word like the fruits of your body.
Curse will be your basket and to the produce of your ground,
For you are part of the problem on this love;
And in seven directions you will always look for trouble.
Why am i here?
Leaving from place to place with thesame problem;
For i need an open heaven than the smokers around me.
Your love is hidden under the disguise of a religion,
But the Book of the Law is what you need;
And from Genesis to Malakyah,
I am what i am on this side of the lake.

Job 600
'Job 600', 'Job 600'!
Of a high building with 600 rooms;
But marry me like a star and let me lead you on,
For, this job is still at hand in the land of my muse.
In this life, if you are not part of the solution then,
You will be part of the problem;
Because, my love to you is like 'Job 600'!
But, the steps ahead of me are full of troubles.

What If
Every problem has a solution…
Struggles are in everyone's life…
Some more then twice…
But to know in your heart…
That you are part of something good…
Is understood…
There is a solution…
Even with all the pollution…
Life has it's up's and it's down's
(Smiles and Frowns)
(Laugh and Clowns)
(Survivors' and Downers… alike) …
"Keep shouting be like Mike"
The things you want… most…
(YOU) must fight for…LIFE…
Really ain't for keeps…
Oh! But it's a beautiful dare…
Even though…life is not fair…
Change your mind…
Change your life…
In that way you get to live twice….
Every problem has a solution
Even with all of the pollution
All is not lost…
Just don't say…
What if…

If we think we have ours and don't owe any time or money or effort to help those left behind, then we are a part of the problem rather than the solution to the fraying social fabric that threatens all Americans.

Politics Attracts A Certain Mind Set
governments are seldom
part of the solution
often part of the problem
politics attracts
a certain mind set
immoral values?
allegiance sold
to shifting highest
bidders made
all power corrupts
absolute power
absolutely corrupts
might proves
who is strongest
not who is right
when will contemporary
twenty-first century
politicians prove quality
take high moral ground
on serious global political issues
partisan policy neglected?

Part Of The World Dies
Part of the world dies
Another part goes on-
We all will die-
Today I am not the part
One day not too far from now
I will be-
How sad our lives which must end in death.

You And This War
You are part of this war. You
pay taxes. You are not part of this
war. No one in charge cares what
you think. You are part of this
war. You go to work each day
and remain quiet on the subject.
You pave the path of least
resistance. You are not part of this
war. You watch images of it and
read words about it from a great
distance. You are part of this war.
You are one 200 millionths of this
nation. You are not part of this
war. You do not fight in it or
fight to stop it. You are
part of this war.

Be Part Of The Solution
A horrible thing in the land of your muse! !
For they walk always in lies;
Yes, evil doers!
And like Sodom and Gomorrah,
But this war will not end now.
Empty hope,
Has gone out;
Wormwood,
Without any future;
But, try to be part of the solution on this earth! !
And not, part of the destruction.

For My Love In The Open
i love you
that is what you will hear
because i say it
when you ask for it
as a matter of
your daily
need.
i have long accepted
half of what i am
ever since
when light is vague
when truth is nothing
but an opaque
view of the egg yolk
against the
lamp.
part of my nose
is efflorescent
it shines when it is
so dark
like a fish on
a moonless night
on the surface
of the the calm sea
part of me is an
anemone
when you are near
everything in me wants
to close and disappear
part of me is your confusion
like the squid
jetting a spurt of
a black trail
part of me
is your love another part of
me is my hate
for this self that i wish
i have completely known
like the lines of
my palm.
part of me is lost
another part of me says
there is no way to find
i hope that 50 years is enough
to know that part of me
is unknown
like that part of the sea
unfathomable.
