Our whole life is solving puzzles.

Keep Smiling
Hey you, nice smile
My life seems like flowing water
Time just creates endings
Will your smile be a door?
The door to eternity
Solving puzzles
Maybe I ask too much
Maybe the end is close
Maybe the end of the world won't come
Keep Smiling

Under normal conditions the research scientist is not an innovator but a solver of puzzles, and the puzzles upon which he concentrates are just those which he believes can be both stated and solved within the existing scientific tradition.

A successful person isn't necessarily better than her less successful peers at solving problems; her pattern-recognition facilities have just learned what problems are worth solving.

I Am Man
I have found the girl that keeps me sane.
Her eyes they beckon an eternity to wander.
She knows my heart as she knows my name.
She is lightning to my thunder.
I am man. You are woman.
Together we resolve creation.
Together we turn the tides evolving.
Together all puzzles we are solving.
Come lay with me a while my darling
Come share with me a smile.
For only your smile may keep me sane.
Whisper your heart, whisper my name.
Adorn me in the fantasies of your choosing
As I adorn you with the wings of an angel fallen –
Callen to return yet choosing to remain
To whisper your heart, to whisper my name.

Design is really a special case of problem solving. One wants to bring about a desired state of affairs. Occasionally one wants to remedy some fault but more usually one wants to bring about something new. For that reason design is more open ended than problem solving.It requires more creativity. It is not so much a matter of linking up a clearly defined objective with a clearly defined starting position (as in problem solving) but more a matter of starting out from a general position in the direction of a general objective.

Everything Is Everything
Weve got a lot of questions
Weve got a lot to learn
So tired of solving problems
Too many bridges burned
We see it all so clearly and still we close our eyes
Why should we understand it?
What good is knowing why?
I know that life can be filled with these changes
I know theres times when it feels like Im falling
I know something in my life will change again
Now Ive got a lot of questions
Ive got a lot to learn
Im tired of solving problems
Too many bridges burned
I cant change whats in the past
I want to move ahead
I want to understand it
Give me the reason why
Im tired of running these circles in my life
Ive seen the future it changes before my eyes
And I know that there is something thats going to change in my life
I know my life will change again

Microphone Fiend
Yo, I was a fiend before I became a teen
I melted microphone instead of cones of ice cream
Music orientated so when hip-hop was originated
Fitted like pieces of puzzles, complicated
Shot grabbed the mic and try to say, yes yall!
They tried to take it, and say that Im too small
Cool, cause I dont get upset
I kick a hole in the speaker, pull the plug, then I jet
Back to the lab ...without a mic to grab
So then I add all the rhymes I had
One after the another one, then I make another one
To dis the opposite then ask if the brothers done
I get a craving like I fiend for nicotine
But I dont need a cigarette, know what I mean?
Im raging, ripping up the stage and
Dont it sound amazing cause every rhyme is made and
Thought of, cuz its sort of...an addiction,
Magnatized by the mixing
E-f-f-e-c-t

An e-f-f-e-c-t
A smooth operator operating correctly.
E-f-f-e-c-t
A smooth operator operating correctly.
An e-f-f-e-c-t
A smooth operator operating correctly.
But back to the problem, I gotta habit,
You cant solve it, you silly rabbit
The prescription is a hypertone thats thorough when
I fiend for a microphone like heroin
Soon as the bass kicks, I need a fix
Gimme a stage and a mic and a mix
And Ill put you in a mood or is it a state of
Unawareness? beware, its the reanamator!
A menace to a microphone, a lethal weapon
An assasinator, if the people aint stepping
You see a part of me that you never seen
When Im fiending for a microphone.
Cause I take it to the maximum, I cant relax see, im
Hype as a hyperchrondriac cause the rap be one
Hell of a antidote, something you cant smoke
More than dope, youre trying to move away but you cant, youre broke
More than cracked up, you should have backed up
For those who act up need to be more than smacked up
E-f-f-e-c-t
A smooth operator operating correctly.
An e-f-f-e-c-t
A smooth operator operating correctly.
An e-f-f-e-c-t
A smooth operator operating correctly.
An e-f-f-e-c-t
A smooth operator operating correctly.
A smooth operator operating correctly.
A smooth operator operating correctly.
A smooth operator operating correctly.
A smooth operator operating correctly.
Uh!

A Life That Is Complete
a life
that is complete
I wonder what it is
does it really exist?
how can I ever get it?
a life
that is complete
still
it puzzles me.

Idiosyncrasy
Speculation is full of riddles.
Trading is full of problems.
Coveting a woman is full of risk.
Solving the riddles,
Overcoming the problems
And braving the risk
Are the sources of pleasure.
To invent riddles to solve,
To create problems to overcome,
And to assume risk to come through
Are man’s idiosyncrasy-
To create difficulties
For the pleasure of solving them.

Life is a puzzle
Life is a puzzle
More you try to solve
More it entangles
Sometimes one enjoys
Sometimes one hates
At times
One feels near
At times far
From solving it
Some lose hope
Some keep trying
Life goes on and on
The puzzle
Remains unsolved

I Am...? (Mindf'ked?)
Still intact
As though there never was an impact-
You must have sliced through clean...
Prolonging my life when it is already taken-?
This can't be a jigsaw, but still I'm solving and shak'n-
Sealed up by doubt and fear-
When it must be all-ready clear-
That the choice ain't mine here-
But yours...
Yours, yea?

One Problem At A Time
No one person can solve
all the problems of the world,
but if we all united,
we could solve
one problem at a time.
If all countries of the world
could learn to trust one another,
instead of being suspicious of one another,
we could solve
one problem at a time.
If we could see no difference
within another person
because of their colour or their religion,
we could all unite
and start solving
one problem at a time.
Unfortunately, no one person can do it,
but one person can start it,
then collectively we can begin
to turn things around
and start solving
one problem at a time.

All the times
It puzzles all the time
How to respond to it?
Either to act as per conscience
Or surrender to worldly things
No to easy temptation
Maintaining good relations
Ordinary life with high mission
Frank and open guilt admission

Rough times will pass
everyone says you're not alone
but you can't quite feel it on your own
thats cos you're too young to know
life's meaning, and it's not your fault
i don't know what other people feel
but i'm sure i'll never leave you here
struggling in your nightmares
you just need to believe
that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
that scars will remind you, you suffered,
but they'll also remind you, you survived.
i bite my tongue when you say you hate it
but life's not a thing to be hated
a series of puzzles its what i think
you either win or lose by your own rules..

Bit By Bit
Bit by bit, piece by piece
I shall put this puzzle together.
It will distract my mind
and as I find a piece
that fits, I marvel
that anything so exacting
can be so distracting.
I do not think of cares and woes.
They've taken flight for now.
I think of what is in my hand
and where it will fit somehow.
As I hesitate to finish
for then I must perform
all those perfunctory duties,
routinely as I move.
I try again to fit into this world,
fit into the groove.
Bit by bit, piece by piece
I have put my life together.
Just like the puzzles that are done
I often wonder whether
the end piece of my life
will make a lovely picture?
