Those who dare to interpret God's will must never claim Him as an asset for one nation or group rather than another.

Scary Folks
Those who claim to know The Truth are dangerous indeed
Questioning and humbleness are things they do not need
Open minds are useless and discussions take too long
Others have opinions which most certainly are wrong
Hesitation's not required when you are in the right
If others dare to disagree perhaps it's time to fight
When scary folks form in a group the dangers escalate
And violence is one result this mixture can create
Religious zeal can be the yeast that helps group hate to rise
Outsiders soon are enemies and victory the prize
All means are seen as valid when one hears a holy voice
And violent retribution can become a righteous choice
Our world is rent asunder by extremists far and wide
We need some moderation if we are to stem the tide
Traits such as acceptance can help get us back on track
With a dose of humbleness to soften what we lack
Glimpses of divinity are there for all to see
No one group can claim to know complete reality
When we share our glimpses and the truth that each group knows
We walk in true humility and understanding grows
Let us walk the peaceful path with open hearts and minds
So that we all may grow in love as violence declines
We need not cling to foolish pride and narrowness of sigh
Each of us can share the grace which lets all see the light

You know, I do not think it is necessarily looks, I do not think I am the prettiest girl... Everyone has something that is their asset, some have the hair, some have the cheekbones, others have the lips. But once you know what is your asset, then you should capitalize on it.

To illustrate what I mean, an apt dancer may be in thorough unison with the others in that particular group, and at the same time reveal a difference in dancing temperament, rhythm or technique; she may phrase, accentuate or actually interpret differently.

The only asset assured.
Spend it wisely.

Without A Need For Others To Interpret
You claim to know what it is that you 'see'?
And still allow yourself to disrespect it?
Either you don't know it for what it is...
Or,
Your perception of it is not grounded on fact.
You claim to know what it is that you 'see'?
And still allow yourself to disrespect it?
Either you don't know it for what it is...
Or,
Your perception of it is not grounded on fact.
And perceptions not ground on fact,
Could eliminate what you thought you had...
For someone else to appreciate,
With a knowing what it is that they have!
Without a need for others to interpret.
'Hang in there! '
No. YOU hang in there.
That's your expertise.
I have a life to live with doings to be pursued.
With no intentions to swing in the wind.
Or be linked to a ball and chain.

The Rich Asset
The one who holds no assets
Will treat the world as asset
And the world holds him as its assest.
Such place is rich in asset.

Oppression is something that one group of people commits against another group specifically because of a threatening characteristic shared by the latter group.

I like to interpret 'Call me a River', as if I'm saying, 'Now you're telling me you love me after all that, and I'm telling you to shove off.' That's my interpretation. But I would never 'say' that because somebody else might interpret the song in another way.

Small breasts
Small breasts are as much an asset; be proud.
The insecure only will seek large breasts.
Men of valour go for the handy ones.
Small breasts are an asset that humbles men.

Scapegoatism
When the going is smooth,
When success is the standard
When compliments flow from all angles
And the group is swimming in brilliance
They misappropriate the praises
They appropriate the prizes
They arrogate credit for good decisions
They usurp the tribute for choice of suitable strategy
They claim the accolade for the group's glory
And steal the honour of becoming the acclaimed
But when the going becomes tough
When defeat is experienced
When strategies do not deliver
When victory becomes a mirage
When challenges stir the group the face
When criticisms flow from all directions
And the group assumes the status of a joker
They point accusing figures at others
They craftily jettison the blames
Allocate all the condemnations to others
Apportion none of the censures to themselves
They exonerate themselves from all faults
They acquit and discharge themselves
From all the charges preferred against the group
And escapes any form of punishment
The unsung hero's in the good days,
Become the culprits during bad days.
They bear the brunt for poor results.
The heroes of the good days,
Lead in the call to crucify,
The imaginary culprits of failure.
They are sent on compulsory retirement
With condemnation and dishonor
This is called ‘scapegoatism'

Truth or Dare
The truth is I loved you, I dare you to remember
The truth is you hurt me, I dare you to share my pain
The truth is I wanted you back, I dare you to say the same
The truth is you never said sorry, l dare you to try
The truth is I protected you, I dare you to not run away
The truth is you squandered trust cheaply, I dare you to lay the first new stone
The truth is I did insane things, I dare you to stop the insanity
The truth is you lied for nothing that was real, I dare you to face the truth

I Dare You
God only knows how I've needed a friend
Who can see the boldness and pride
Someone strong enough I can put my faith in
Someone willing to let me inside
So be a man and be my man
First Chorus:
I dare you to need me
Like nobody else
I dare you to feel me
Like you've never felt
I dare you to want to want
To wanna be good to me
Baby you've got your reasons
Dangling from kite strings
But you can open your hands, let them fly
Oh I know you wont always say and do the right things
Oh but some things are worth a try
So if you can, be my man
Second Chorus:
I dare you to know me
Like I've never known
I dare you to show me
That I can be shown
Dare you to want to want
To wanna be good to me
Tell me I,
Tell me I'm the one who deserves you
Oh and every time, every time you know that you want to
I dare you
Third Chorus:
I dare you to hold me
Like you never will (again)
Kiss me and leave the world standing still
Dare you to want to want
(repeat first chorus)

I See
Some few have the ability
to see what others cannot see.
Is it a blessing or a curse?
A process that they can’t reverse.
Some few but they are very few
are happy that they can preview.
Future events and be forewarned,
Although their prophecies are scorned
by those who are unwilling to
expand their narrow point of view.
Blithely ignore the evidence
which tends to support prescience.
When things foretold prove to be true
They cannot change their narrow view.
Perhaps afraid that what seers see
must happen: Inevitably.
But those who have the second sight
do not claim they are always right
The fleeting visions which they see.
They may interpret wrongfully.
Nor do they claim they can foresee
every eventuality
They know too well the scenes they see
may be long past or yet to be.
In due course most will decide
to keep quiet; try to hide
the fact that they sometimes see
the future intermittently.
If you have this ability
then you will surely understand.
You won’t see what you wish to see
it is not under your command.

Dare to Believe
I dare to believe that the sun will come out
I dare to have faith that the time is right
For me to reach the top of my game
To say goodbye to heartache and pain
I dare to believe that for the very first time
I will truly get what I want to be mine
And no, it’s not a never ending love
Nor even a fortune dropped from above
No, I dare to believe that I’m all right
That I’m the best that’s ever been
The smartest, the funniest, the best overall
I dare to believe in myself, that’s all.
