Real men are sadly lacking in this world, for when they are put to the test they prove worthless.

Traffic Jam: The Trap Of Traffic Light

Worthless
They think of themselves as worthless.
And they are.
With no value that has been identified.
Or a self evaluation taken.
It is pointless to disagree with them.
Many have come and gone,
Making attempts to prove them wrong.
To change their visions.
Since their 'visions' given to them,
Had been intended to inflict...
An ignorance that is worshipped.
And those believing themselves worthless,
Will not listen because this offends.
And the ones who wish to open their minds,
Have left alone to condone their mental sickness.
With a saving of their own sanities.
They think of themselves as worthless.
Obvious is this in observation.
And with determination they have proven,
They are this way and they will stay.
To leave themselves and their children scarred,
With beliefs they've been fed...
And will not and wont release,
That which has been embedded in their heads.

Real Cool World
So far this love is delightful
The face of seduction was you
But I listened for each and every footstep
In this real cool world
Questioning saintlike and fantastic heroes
Feeling like lost little children in fabled lands
So I listen for each and every friendship
In this real cool world
Now there is you
In my real cool world
Starry-eyed life but somehow believing in nothing
You whisper sweet nothing but reading between your lines
I listen color me doubtful
In this real cool world
Now there is you
In my real cool world
You came from nowhere
You came from nowhere
You held me you shook me
Hey
Its a cool world
Its a cool world
Its a real cool world
Its a real cool world
Its a real cool world
Its a real cool world
Now there is you
In my real cool world
Now there is you
In my real cool world
Mmmm
Real cool world

A very true
It is you
And very true
The seed is sown
Now openly admit it and own
It is not the trick
It is no gimmick either
You are there at the center
You have made it and entered
The heart may beat
When we meet
You shall try to free the way
Don’t be lost and run away
I shall catch you in real glimpse
You are there and nothing else
Try to love in real world
Do not develop shiver and cold
I never lost nerve at first sight
I think my choice is very right
You were the center for attraction
I think something more needed as action
How shall I express it words?
Should I take as sign for going forward?
Will that materialize in coming days?
I dream of nice golden days
You have done it once again
Clouds are over cast and may rain
It may crunch the thrust for ever
Shall we unit and remain forever?
Say it again and again
Whisper in ears and refrain
From any exposure that might speak
And make it known to others and leak
I had waited long for some one to show
A real love and affection to flow
I had little fascination to go along
It was to prove right and not wrong
Is it not natural to dream for life partner?
To look around and search as beginner
I was going to prove as lover and not the sinner
The chance seemed bright and not the thinner
I shall dream of building a very good nest
We may only remain there for the rest
It is not the only imagination to hope for best
It is going to be real and not imaginative test
Is it not natural to dream for life partner?
To look around and search as beginner
I was going to prove as lover and not the sinner
The chance seemed bright and not the thinner
I shall dream of building a very good nest
We may only remain there for the rest
It is not the only imagination to hope for best
It is going to be real and not imaginative test
It is always lovely to be with right choice
To be enjoyed without much ado and noise
It is not the medium to be given public exposure
The life is certainly going to be beautiful for sure
Love to live and enjoy
It is definitely a joy
Still more lay open before
It is to be thought therefore

Action in contemplation
Do not act in haste
It will be too late
No one may come forward
To offer you consolation or word
It is real test
You should not waste
You should not sit idle or rest
Until you get clearly the best
This is give and take
You have to act and reciprocate
The world is tit for tat
You will have to act as per that
Who will venture for nothing
If there is no gain for something
You can't expect people to be liberal
No note is taken of if told in verbal
Hollow words may invite only problem
It won't be taken seriously by them
You got to prove your worth
As there is shortage or dearth
Your intent will not be judged
Your action only will be weighed
One bad action may invite gloom
There won't be left any other room
Search for reasonable praiseworthy solution
It must only be action packed resolution
You must mix with the people as solubles in water
That is most important and subject matter
Have all cards close to the chest
Try to think positive and deliver the best
Forget about the result and leave it to rest
That may prove as your crucial test
Public memory is too short
Many may try to scuttle or abort
You need their valuable support
Try to be with them with personal rapport
You may pass through all ordeals
But it is short term fall out and not real
You guess what can be next in store?
Try to think and possibly explore
Any action may have equal response
You must be careful and alert hence
You never be given chance to face
This is one time final race
All are striving very hard to attain
They may prove as your rivals main
You got to overcome them and excel
It will definitely speak of you very well
The desirous result is not achieved if acted in haste
It is totally unwarranted and waste
People may get hint of your preparation
You may be failing in your examination
It is always advised to go for speedy action
People should not be afforded with quick reaction
It must be like lightening speed and in waves
No one may come forward and simply dare
This thing is expected of a person
He has to act differently in all the seasons
There may not be many reasons
Only one may be the real reason

Child
In these arms you'll surely die,
You'll choke on feathers and lies,
But sadly now is the time,
To light the truth and draw the line,
A wrong step's paired with regret,
And for you I just want the best,
Doubt the words of those who fret,
Prove me wrong and rise to the test,
Empty arms can make one cry,
As one is left asking why,
But to know that they have tried,
Will aid them to cease to pine,
What's owed to you you shall get,
When you strive when others rest,
Although you've far to go yet,
The eyes on you are impressed.

Hooch
Its your last chance to find yourself in consequence.
Its so hard to find a simple reason.
Maybe Ill find myself with evidence.
Hate breeds with nothing believe in.
Another day another day in paradise.
If you only knew wouldnt it be nice.
Get away get away get away.
Im about to detonate.
Everything to lose
Nothing to prove
Just when everything has fallen to the ground
Gonna knock it down
Just believe me when I tell you its alright.
This time were on our way to tragedy
Forever bored and ourside from the in crowd.
Ive come to grip confronting my reality.
Numbstruck its me against the world now.
For all you know for all you know its not for real
Spare me the obsession that you deal.
Get away get away get away.
Im about to detonate.
Everything to lose
Nothing to prove
Just when everything has fall to the ground
Gonna knock it down
Just believe me when I tell you its alright.
Everything to lose
Nothing to prove
Just when everything has fall to the ground
Gonna knock it down
Just believe me when I tell you its alright.
I shouldve know right from the start
That youd take this trust and rip me apart.
Could be a change of heart.
Ill fall into you, but dont believe that this is real.
Ill fall into you, but dont believe that this is real.
Ill fall into you, but dont believe that this is real.
Ill fall into you, but dont believe that this is real

Declared No More
He was declared no more
As he was not breathing, therefore
There was no sign of any move
He had left behind nothing so as to prove
No one can say that he was worthless
Full contentment was seen on the face
His eyes were fully closed as if under the deep sleep
I saw him motionless and controlled not to weep
It gives pain when someone truly departs
For many years one remains associated with as reliable and part
We may appreciate his worth only after demise
Remember his stubborn stance for any promises made
I had seen him working very hard
He was always fearlessly moving forward
Not only him but will take many along his side
Give suitable piece of advice and confide
He did not dream with his ideals
He knew it can’t be transformed into real
Yes he did not leave hope for the best
As he considered it as life time test
We all adored him so long as he was with us
Even after his demise we put even more trust
It is not the time to weep for his departure
As he has left nothing to be assured
Some of the friends are easily forgotten
We may miss them as if something is stolen
Time and again we may miss his absence
As he was towering strength for us in his presence
I would love to pay great tribute to him as true man
He was in real sense a great humorist and human
We may have many friends as close associate
But only few will make impact to relate

All That Is Real Is You
All the world over Ive searched for a dream
Ive found out that life is not what it seems
Ive seen all the wonders the world has to give
But all that is real is you.
All of the silver and all of the gold
Seems worthless to me
Lifeless and cold
Ive known all the treasure
A man can possess
But all that is real is you.
So bring me back home
My love - my love
Oh how I need you
Take me back home
My love - my love
Oh how I love you.
Even the place where my heart used to fly
The warm summer breeze
The wild seabirds cry
All are illusions and all just a dream
cos all that is real is you.
So bring me back home
My love - my love
Oh how I need you
Take me back home
My love - my love
Oh how I love you.
All the world over Ive searched for a dream
Ive found out that life is not what it seems
Ive seen all the wonders the world has to give
But all that is real is you
cos all that is real is you.

One On One
Words and music by rick nielsen
Reputation is a fragile thing
Fame and money dont mean much to me
Oh, dont go change to prove the point
It doesnt matter, oh no
Weve had our problems and weve had our fun
Did a lot of livin on the run
Oh dont go cover up the truth
Cause were together, oh yeah
One on one, one on one
Its you and me against the world
Its one on one
Head is spinning and your mouth is dry
Happiness you couldnt find or buy
Oh, ever want something so bad you could taste it?
Made the deadline and you passed the test
Sabotage seems safer than success
Put it off until tomorrow
Ive hear it all before
But its one on one, one on one
Its you and me against the world
Its one on one
I need some time to think the whole thing over
You say you want to save the world alone
I want to taste and test the waters with you
Its not so easy when youre on your own
Dont lie to me is all I ask of you
No excuses I just want the truth
Reputation is a fragile thing
I know you know it, well its
One on one, one on one
Its you and me against the world
Its one on one
One on one, one on one
Its you and me against the world
Its one on one

Graduations Past
As I look back on my own graduation, I reflect
On the race to finish learning, test and studying all I reject
Done feeling judged, tried of trying to fit in
Not knowing that exactly how I’d feel when the real world set in
I now cherish those days, when everyday I talked with a friend
When all the steps were mapped out from beginning to end
All I wanted was to be set free into this great world
All my life was out There…waiting for me to unfurl
Using rudimentary tools, I carved a nitch in this place
When I’m done I hope to leave a mark on the whole human race
Stilling learning today, facing test after test
Studying people, hoping to understand them, doing my best
Not judging others, hoping not to be judged is the goal
To stand out from the crowd, yet being one with my soul
Wherever you go, the whole world is a school
Just stop and listen closely… it’s talking to YOU

A beautiful object
The most beautiful object from the nature
To see for for self and make it sure
Its revelation is simple and pure
Eyes make its presence and assure
Everybody has realized this fact in the world
You can’t neglect or put it on hold
The relation can’t be stored in cold
The initiative has to be very bold
The silence may speak thousand of words
The world can’t be won over by power of swords
Some warmth has to be felt from within
There there will be surrender and compete win
The rolling stones will be in motion
The place may be taken over by emotions
You may try to influence and prove best
Make it known as it is your final test
Who will speak for you and reveal
Who will hold it back and conceal
It will almost prove to be real
It may find its approval and final seal
Still the eyes may speak a lot
The consequences or result you might have not thought
Without reasons no wars are fought
It is acknowledged and reasons are not sought
Silence may descend as you feel the pulse
You may have strong urge not to repulse
The eyes may not speak but seek the solace
You got to make your hut as palace

we make up sometimes
we real cool
we prove to God
that his Project X
is phew...a great success

Journey Man
Eclipsin' the sun, with the moon blue,
Traipsin' off the path beaten, true,
He's got the world in an empty can,
Sadly nowhere is the Journey Man.
Son of none, of daughters unsure,
He's the disease to his own cure,
Consilience with many a spirited clan,
Sadly farsighted is the Journey Man.
Oh, he be recallin' those dark days,
Spent in a maze of evanescent haze,
Lone the sigh, in his hand a trepan,
Sadly passionate is the Journey Man.
Call forth his sun, a black star,
His wyrd shall his radiance mar,
Life sacrificed for Destiny's plan,
Sadly condemned is the Journey Man.
Hallucinate in oblivion, encore,
Brewing the past on future shore,
The present is aflight! If ye still can,
Sadly capture it, O Journey Man!
The time's a- goin', a sword's cut,
From palace now to a humble hut,
Death to free from a cruel lifespan,
Sadly shackled is the Journey Man.

They say that 'time assuages,
They say that 'time assuages,'--
Time never did assuage;
An actual suffering strengthens,
As sinews do, with age.

But not a remedy.
If such it prove, it prove too
There was no malady.

Kind of Confusion
Talent, as we call and refer, as an instinct
Valuable gift from God and very distinct
No one can compare it with anyone
It is rarely seen with someone
It is seen and observed for the kids
We can certain assume and have the lead
You can clearly distinguish and read
You need no certificate or any kind of feed
Yet you go to prove it before experts
When you face the world class of arts
Everyone will have to prove class and ability
They will know better and praise the quality
People may put you o prove skill
It may drain you out and kill
With single thought that you are worthless
And has no dedication or courage to face
Such things can not be denied
Certain hopes are grounded or bellied
Basic facts can not be denied
Yes hope and despair is definitely accompanied
One may come out with flying colors
His ability and strength is proved and adored
He has now everything ready to explore
He can add feather in cap and ask for more
There is no end to our ambition
These are the basic inhibitions
We are ambitious and over zealots
But certainly not the fool or idiots
One will have to prove the superiority
Life can not be stagnated and must move on with continuity
There should not remain any kind of confusion
Life is live race and must be seen as compulsion

The True Life
Those who trust in lying vanities
Forsake the grace that could be theirs
They try to earn what's freely given
The Gift to be as Heaven's heirs.
Novenas, masses, sacraments -
Idols mute and sadly worthless
Arrayed to be Deception's garment
These fail to give man holiness.
The Gift of Life came from the Cross
It is received by Faith and Trust
The LORD Christ Jesus paid the Cost
Only though Him, believe we must.
'For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus.'

Real World
Days, times we will remember
When innocence was lost
We let our hearts move on
So many dreams we thought would last forever
Today it doesnt matter
All those dreams are gone, they are gone, oooh
Tell me how it feels again
Oh, show me that its real and then
Ill walk away, from my own reflection
The stranger that I knew
The stranger that was you
And now I face a cold return to sender
A truce but no surrender
A voice that wont ring true, where are you? oooh
I reach over the edge
And throw a penny in the wishing well
Its so deep that I can tell
That in the real world
Theres fewer stars in the sky
And in the real world
You can get hear children cry at night
This is the real world
There is no time, for a life of solitude
Only hunger and survival
In the world we were born into, were alone, oooh
And it brings me to my knees
Our father lay me down to sleep
Father please
Pray the lord my soul to keep
Keep us in the real world
Keep us in the real world
Dont have to tell you
In the real world
Theyll damn you if you try
In the real world
Let it begin with you and i
This is the real world
Theres fewer stars in the sky
This is the real world
You can get hear children cry at night
Now in the real world
Theyll damn you if you try
And in the real world
Let it begin with you and i
Living in the real world
Yeah, living in the real world

and their failures.
real men own their mistakes.
