Old-fashioned ways which no longer apply to changed conditions are a snare in which the feet of women have always become readily entangled.

Under These Conditions
Oh how I wish
You could read my mind
Cause words cant always tell it
Like it is some times
When were this close
The lights and music glow
Why dont we let our feelings
Take us where we want to go
Under these conditions
There aint no wrong or right
Were dealing with emotions
Thats running wild to night
A man needs a women
A women needs a man
And under these conditions
Hearts get out of hand
Youve got those eyes
That wont let go of me
They pull me in and out of touch
With reality
And you got those lips,
That I just got to taste
Id love to hear them whisper
Darlin take me from this place
Under these conditions
There aint no wrong or right
Were dealing with emotions
Thats running wild to night
A man needs a women
A women needs a man
And under these conditions
Hearts get out of hand

Replaced By Suspicion
It was stated to them then,
How they underestimated...
Feelings that had been readily given.
It was reminisced and revisited,
What one thought had been unconditional...
Was conditionally betrayed on a daily basis.
Sincere tears then began to swell and fall,
From puffed eyes.
As if wishing to erase time.
Yet inside one's heart those lies once told...
Seem to fix and take hold.
Never to go away!
'You don't know how I have changed my ways! '
~You have no idea how much has changed...
Period.
Acceptance has been replaced by suspicion.~

My Life Has Changed
My life has changed in many ways
And I don't know just what to say
People everywhere
They don't even care
They don't even know
What I'm doing up in my way
My life has changed in many ways
And you won't know just what to say
Hey Ahhh
Your life will change in many ways
And you won't know just what to say
People all around
Listen to the sound
They won't even know
What you're doing up in your way
My life has changed in many ways
And I don't know just what to say
Solo
My life has changed in many ways
And I don't know just what to say
People everywhere
They don't even care
They don't even know
What I'm doing up in my way
My life has changed in many ways
And I don't know Just what to say

It is a very real concern and my view is that everything changed on September 11th and the procedure, the policies that were in place prior to September 11th no longer should apply.

Perhaps You Might Call Me An Old Fashioned Man
Many love poets like Whitman and Eliot and Poe
The first of the moderns from decades ago
But of their sort of poetry I am not a fan
Perhaps in my ways I'm an old fashioned man.
I still love the old ballads I loved when I was young
That on Winter nights by the fire grate were sung
By then ageing men and women who now with the dead lay
But fond memories of them I have with me today.
Us youngsters learned from them the words of many a memorable song
And with the old songsters we used sing along
A love of old culture from them I did gain
And in the ways of the past I am one who remain.
The mentors of my young years much to them I do owe
The love of old culture in my mind they did sow
Songs they learned from their elders to us they passed down
May they rest in peace in their graves in the town.
I do love the songs that I learned as a boy
And memories of what was I still do enjoy
Of modern poets and their poetry I was never a fan
Perhaps you might call me an old fashioned man.

I'm Old Fashioned
I am not such a clever one
About the latest fads
I admit I was never one
Adored by local lads
Not that I ever try to be a saint
I'm the type that they classify as quaint
Im old fashioned
I love the moonlight
I love the old fashioned things
The sound of rain
Upon a window pane
The starry song that april sings
This years fancies
Are passing fancies
But sighing sighs holding hands
These my heart understands
I know I'm old fashioned
But I don't mind it
That's how I want to be
As long as you agree
To stay old fashioned with me
(bridge)
I'm old fashioned
But I don't mind it
That's how I want to be
As long as you agree
To stay old fashioned with me
Oh won't you stay old fashioned with me
Oh please stay old fashioned with me

Help
When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybodys help in any way
But now these days are gone Im not so self assured
Now I find Ive changed my mind, opened up the door
Help if you can Im feeling down
But I do appreciate you being round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Wont you please help me
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways
My independence seems to vanish in the haze
But every now and then I feel so insecure
Now I know I need you like Ive never done before
Help if you can Im feeling down
But I do appreciate you being round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Wont you please help me
Help
I need somebody
Help
Not just anybody
Help
You know I need someone

I Am Women
I am women
Empress
Daughter of Afro Caribbean roots
Full figured
Ebony coco brown
is my
Exterior
My Face oval shaped
Eyes wide
Resembling moon
Lips almond
sideways
Hair as deep as indigo
black
Short
I stand
5”8 feet tall
Un perfect in many ways
I have desires to seek all within my soul
Penetrating the spirit which resides
Within
Mother
I do all to provide for my seed
I cry
when the pain and struggle is too much to bear
I laugh
Controlling my frustrations when
Pushed by the lips of my young
transcending through to the other side
I am Women
I am women
Hurt
Disappointment
from all directions
Has been a visitor
Yet I over come
And continue
To live
I have desires
To become that women
The women who lives
inside my dreams
the one no one but I can see
Beautiful
Graceful
Powerful
S ecure
A women of courage
Happy
Motivated to challenge myself until
success
is what I posses
I am women
I am Women
Inspiring many
I’ve fallen at the hands of abuse in ways only few have
Been informed of
But it shapes me into my transcending transformation stages to
Rise
Rise
I am women
Seen through these eyes
Hate
war
rape
domestic Violence to those who could not defend themselves
I am women
Wonderful
I am women
I am women

But you have left me …..
We have went our separate ways
But you have left me with some good memories
We are no longer together
But you have left me with unforgettable moments
We have went our separate way
But you have left me with little tears to cry
We are no longer together
But you have left me with no questions as to why
We have went our separate ways
But you have left me with so much to live for
We are no longer together
But you have left me with peace inside my heart
We have went our separate ways
But you have left me with out a partner
We are no longer together
But you have left me with an extra friend

Women and holidays (men, football and beer)
Could you just imagine
the lack of imagination
If men had to buy presents
And pretty them up with decorations
What would it be like
For men to bake the cookies
Or to buy and send cards
To all the friends and families
To think of men buying the food
absolutely boggles the mind
Men in aprons, you gotta’ be kiddin dude
Much less doing the cooking grind
Impossible to describe men helping
on the holidays, In any way except lame
Seeming to contribute in the best way by…
Stayin out of women’s way…watchin the game
Sittin’ on their butts and soakin’ up beer
Are men’s natural inclinations and ways
And it’s readily apparent and abundantly clear…
That it’s women that give meaning to the holidays!

The Cause Of Earthquakes According To A Cleric
earthquakes
and such disasters
are caused by immodest women;
if you are wise you will see this truth
women
indecently dressed
and accentuating contours
cause excitement in vigorous young men;
if you are spiritual you will see this truth
the men who thus get excited
(and it’s all the women’s fault, you will agree)
and so are led astray by such women
and this causes adultery
and such immorality which
results in seismic activity
and so you have earthquakes;
if you are pure you will see this truth
it’s true
because adulterers
do it more vigorously
hence the earth trembles
more readily

The Messerschmitt Twins
My mind is made up, Im changing faster
Your mind is made up, avoiding worries
My old image is set to fade away
Forget the talking
Forget the actions
And quiet voices and all that happened
In just one of hour
You could knock me down
The twos are one now
And ones are fuller
No longer giving
No longer taking
These ways are tried
They never seem to fail
And when youre asking
You sound like telling
Despite the questions
Youre not receiving
I cant explain
Why you disappear
Your mind is made up
The time is taken
You reach decisions
We cant avoid them
Theres no success
No matter what we do
The twos are one now
And ones are fuller
No longer giving
No longer taking
These ways are tried
They never seem to fail
These ways are tried
They never seem to fail
These ways are tried
They never seem to fail
These ways are tried
