One might almost reckon mathematically that, having undergone the double composition of public opinion and of the author, their history reaches us at third hand and is thus separated by two stages from the original fact.

Publicity is a great purifier because it sets in action the forces of public opinion, and in this country public opinion controls the courses of the nation.

Whatever is right can be achieved through the irresistible power of awakened and informed public opinion. Our object, therefore, is not to enquire whether a thing can be done, but whether it ought to be done, to so exert the forces of publicity that public opinion will compel it be done.

I believe if a private citizen is able to affect public opinion in a constructive way he doesn't have to be an elected public servant to perform a public service.

Redundancies
the contract is null and void
it was part and parcel of the fraud
involving Cash money
laundered in Hot heat
such is a Dark black night
Frozen ice still hangs on the trees
True fact it is
with a muddled Past history
Free gift from his lover
taken from a Safe haven
the Time period
must also have
Basic fundamentals
it is my Considered opinion
that the End result
even though of Different kinds
involving as it is with Individual persons
and their Personal opinion
leaning onTrue facts
are as Equally as good
as ours Combined into one
and then by Consensus of opinion
and Lapse in time
let me think that First and foremost
everything shall be Full and complete
at last we have come to
the final end

After all mother
She is after all mother
No one can compete with her
You can take shelter at any time
She is available at your care anytime
You or old pass through same trauma
Tears flow freely without staging any drama
It is how mother is well associated with our life
Even though it is difficult for her to save from edge of knife
Someone asked me an opinion about mother
I knew he was perturbed and subjected to bother
Each blessed soul will speak highly about holly figure
He or she might not have come to such bright future
So many articles, books are written in this subject
No sensible person can speak badly or object
You can curse the situation in which you are in
But certainly not the circumstances you have lost or made win
Mother remains same for us in all the ages
She has to perform for us in all the stages
As teens or young she occupies very special position
She has enormous influence to shape or make composition
She is symbol of great strength and towering influence
Each opinion and say counts for future course at once
Person can be considered lucky if he has powerful shield
He may be taken rightly on the path and of course powerfully held

In a Society in which there is no law, and in theory no compulsion, the only arbiter of behaviour is public opinion. But public opinion, because of the tremendous urge to conformity in gregarious animals, is less tolerant than any system of law. When human beings are governed by "thou shalt not", the individual can practise a certain amount of eccentricity: when they are supposedly governed by "love" or "reason", he is under continuous pressure to make him behave and think in exactly the same way as everyone else.

While it's very hard to know exactly how to measure public opinion there, because there's no really good polling, the fact of the matter is that in all the polls I've seen the vast majority of the Iraqis prefer to be free and are pleased that the coalition freed them.

Stages
Its a fine time to fall in love with you,
I aint got a single thing to do.
It happened before I knew what was going on.
I fell out and knew that I was gone.
Stages keep on changing,
Stages rearranging love.
Then you left me standing all alone,
I couldnt even get you on the phone.
Were you just confused and didnt know
If you should stay or if you had to go?
Stages keep on changing,
Stages rearranging love.
Now youre back and say youre gonna stay.
I wouldnt have it any other way.
Tell me its for real and let me know
Why does lovin have to come and go.
Stages keep on changing,
Stages rearranging love.

The Parable Of The Blind
This horrible but superb painting
the parable of the blind
without a red
in the composition shows a group
of beggars leading
each other diagonally downward
across the canvas
from one side
to stumble finally into a bog
where the picture
and the composition ends back
of which no seeing man
is represented the unshaven
features of the des-
titute with their few
pitiful possessions a basin
to wash in a peasant
cottage is seen and a church spire
the faces are raised
as toward the light
there is no detail extraneous
to the composition one
follows the others stick in
hand triumphant to disaster

Mountain Peak
We came together on the highest mountain on this earth.
As years went by we separated into rivers
from the tears this mountain cried.
We all fell into different rivers flowing though
forests, rocks, and waterfalls.
No matter what season we came across
we continued flowing.
We are rivers that started in the mountains,
and rivers that separated as we went through
many waterfalls.
Sometimes we travel together,
and other times we travel alone.
Always remember that these same rivers
that travel many miles through the earth
are once again together when it reaches its final destination
the “Ocean”
So, rivers that started up high in the mountains
and then separated are united
again as a family.

From Depravity To Fellowship
All Men my dear friend, are born in sin and fall into much depravity,
This sin began with just one man and spread throughout all humanity.
Jeremiah states the heart of man is deceitful and who can know it,
Look at the world my friend, for the history of man clearly shows it.
This wickedness of course is far from Jehovah God's original plan,
For His original intent was to have unfettered fellowship with man.
God who can't look on sin separated Himself from man in The Garden,
Left on his own, man continued to sin and his heart began to harden.
And the longer he was on his own the further he fell from God's plan,
Man became so wicked, that God became grieved that He even made man.
However, man's failure did not deter God from His original intention,
To save all men from their wicked ways He simply provided Redemption.
So it was the same God, who desired fellowship right from the start,
Who sent Jesus to offer Eternal fellowship to every believing heart.
With hearts of wickedness, God's Mercy saves us from what we deserve,
And by God's Grace He has given us what we could never have earned.
Through the death on The Cross of God's Son, Jesus Christ our Lord,
The fellowship that God had intended with man has now been restored.
It's your choice to accept God's Grace, and get what you can't earn,
Or you can refuse God's Gift, His Son, and receive what you deserve.

God Reaches Out
GOD REACHES OUT
I know you're feeling very down
And I wish you weren't sad.
There are so many things around
That make us feel so bad.
But when you awake in the morning
To the chirping of a bird,
Just remember that may be God,
Whose singing you have heard.
And when you walk into a store
And a beggar there you see,
Just remember, that sad face,
The face of God, may be.
And when a child smiles up at you
With innocence in their eye,
Just remember that each day
God gives innocence to you and I.
So when you're feeling down and sad
And your heart seems to break,
Just remember that God reaches out
And says, 'My Hand, you now must take.'
Love you my friend.

Alarming Creation
An alarming creation has been assembled,
For he does his work and begets, the very same.
The author creates and blocks out like one who imagines,
In an institution consuming ice and ink.
The embryonic stages set in motion and lead to fabrication,
Of first cracks, of elementary layers like the cakes.
This is the opening, there will be some with less,
But the author of creativity shows a plot or story.
Much is lion, most is gathering when a story unfolds,
Like a consternation, like an alarm of a clock.
The created beings set away from the land
And erode into the sea, the seas and the oceans.

In the long run, much public opinion is made in the universities; ideas generated there filter down through the teaching profession and the students into the general public.
