Two-thirds of the Earth's surface is covered with water. The other third is covered with auditors from headquarters.

4th Chorus Mexico City Blues
Roosevelt was worth 6, 7 million dollars
He was Tight
Frog waits
Till poor fly
Flies by
And then they got him
The pool of clear rocks
Covered with vegetable scum
Covered the rocks
Clear the pool
Covered the warm surface
Covered the lotus
Dusted the watermelon flower
Aerial the Pad
Clean queer the clear
blue water
AND THEN THEY GOT HIM
The Oil of the Olive
Bittersweet taffies
Bittersweet cabbage
Cabbage soup made right
A hunk a grass
Sauerkraut let work
in a big barrel
Stunk but Good

Covered In Rain
These days, with the world getting colder,
She spends more time sleeping over
Than I planned.
Tonight were gonna order in,
Drinking wine and watch some cnn.
Its dark I know but then again
Its the brightest thing I got
When Im covered in rain
When Im covered in rain, rain, rain, rain
No, I am covered in rain, rain
Firewoods to fire places
Summer snow and fallen places
Now were people watching other people, people watching you and i
Standing by the missing signs at the cvs by the checkout line
Put your tiny hands in mine
Cause your the brightest thing I got
When youre covered in rain
Cause Im covered in rain
Cause Im covered in rain
No Im covered in rain
And its alright
If you dont want to go on
And its alright
If you dont want to be alone
And its alright
If you dont want to go home
Come december lydia left
Mentioned something about it being for the best
And I cant say I disagree
Now Im standing facing west
Tracing my fingers round a silhouette
I havent gotten used to yet
But its the brightest thing I got
And Im covered in rain
Cus Im covered in rain
Cus Im covered in rain
You and me and everyone, covered in rain

Shine On Sweet Jesus
(jesus song no. 5)
Waitin for my ride
Jesus is floatin outside
(shine on, sweet jesus, on me)
Watchin the water rise
Im gettin lost in the tide
(cry all your teardrops on me)
While Im still myself,
Your blankets covered me
Covered me while I was still asleep
Watchin the planets shine
Reflecting yourself in the sky
(shine on, sweet jesus, on me)
Scraping these smiles of mine
Impossible one at a time
(cry all your teardrops on me)
While Im still myself,
Your blankets covered me
Covered me while I was still asleep
Jesus is at my side,
Wondering what he will find
(shine on, sweet jesus, on me)
Watchin the water rise
Im gettin lost in the tide
(cry all your teardrops on me)
While Im still myself
Your blankets covered me
Covered me while I was still asleep

There Are Only Eyes Appearing Above The Surface
There are only eyes appearing above the surface
in the brown water of the river's pool
before they again disappear without a trace.
There are only eyes appearing above the surface
when it notices a prey, are covered by the water-curtain
where the crocodile hides in the depths of the river,
there are only eyes appearing above the surface
in the brown water of the river's pool.

First Water
First Water
The water had its beginning before earthly time began
Before even the first born God would call man.
The Creator knew the value and significance of water
Just as the second human creation we call a daughter.
Man certainly does not live by bread alone
But along side the children who sleep at home.
Man can survive without food for a very long time
But not for long without water for the vine.
The universal one covered earth with two thirds water
Still not as miraculous as the gift of a daughter.
More bounty in the water than in the soil
How expressive is the holy one when we toil.
A green tree grows on coral with a great deal of salt
A desire of the eternal God who has no fault.
The Creator put birds in the sky and fish in the sea
Saving the land for man's children and family.
Water cleans, heals and provides
Mother nature gives, replenishes and renews; with each new tide

My Man
My man
Muscles from hand to foot
Completely covered in uninteruppted skin
My man
Signals command the leg
To follow orders coming down from headquarters
Why then am I in bed?
I guess my mans fallen out with my head
May I direct your attention to the following simile
Youre like the coasts of an ocean
Buried beneath is a submarine cable
Connecting the opposite shores that surround it
My man
How can he stand?
Your fingers could encircle clear around the ankle
My man wont walk again
In conflict with express instructions given by the brain
Why cant the message be sent?
I guess my mans fallen out with my head
When something happens to drag on the floor of the ocean
For instance an anchor or mooring
The cable can be disrupted and even be severed
Which halts the transmission across it
There is no way to repair the break
My man
Muscles from hand to foot
Completely covered in uninteruppted skin
My man
Signals command the leg
To follow orders coming down from headquarters
My man
How can he stand?
My man
Muscles from hand to foot
Completely covered in uninteruppted skin
My man
Wont walk again

But along side the children who sleep at home.

Still not as miraculous as the gift of a daughter.
More bounty in the water than in the soil
How expressive is the holy one when we toil.
A green tree grows on coral with a great deal of salt
A desire of the eternal God who has no fault.
The creator separated the birds from the land and sea
Also for man and woman and their child to be.
Water cleans, heals and provides
Mother nature gives, replenishes and renews with each new tide.

~Cold
! Lost raindropps in the snow
Covered in ice cold regret
Never-ever to be found
In the chill of Winter-Set
Frozen are the rainbows
Made of colour spectrum lights
Covered up by dancing
Snowflakes
Of the blanket white-covered night

What is Love (A Sonnet)
Love is a stone,
When thrown in the waters
It disturbs the water surface with riples,
Causing wonder to all water creatures as it sinks;
Mystiriously it lies underneath.
Covered by liquid dust on the sea bed
No one knows why, how and where.....
and forever it lies beneath.

I had an idea in the beginning to do a book about some of the events that I had covered, just various stories that I've covered. Reporters spend a lot of time telling each other tales about how they covered stories, and that's what this book started out to be.

Life Immortal!
Nothing less, nothing more,
The flash of billion Galaxies,
The glowing stars,
Revolving planets,
Roaring rainy clouds,
The Sun, The moon, the Earth, Land and oceans,
Ice covered mountain to Sand
covered deserts,
Hot core and mantle of earth to
ice covered poles,
Made of elements, Energy manifesting in different
forms in different ways! One which lives has to change,
One who brings every thing to
life never changes
That remains mysterious,
as no signal can come from,
No signals can go from here, But that mysterious pervades all,
dwelling inside every thing and
enjoys everything without
enjoying,
Moving everything without
moving at all, Newton third law fails as action
and reactions balanced only on
this plane,
But valid on the plane where
everything is only one!

Terror
You see her covered
And back away
Leaving her with her black robe
She could be kind
Be the nicest person on Earth
But you don't see that
She could be smart
Be the modern Einstein
But you don't know that
She could be beautiful
Be the one you've been looking for
But she's covered
To you she is a danger
Waiting to explode
You took away her kindness
Stripped her of her genius
Scared away her beauty
Then left her naked
Shivering in you terror!

Darkness
Been spending so much time underground
I guess my eyes adjusted
To the lack of light
I got
Covered in darkness
Covered in darkness
Hibernating always waiting for something new
Happiness always endin'
In the blink of an eye
There was no one attending
No one attending
It doesn't really matter where it all began
All I know
I got covered in darkness
Covered in darkness
Ever wonder why I never really truly connect
Although my eyes are open
I can hold your gaze
But I am never connected
Never connected
I am famous for my generosity
They say I am the kindest
But it is easier to
Give than receive love
Give than receive love
It doesn't really matter where it all began
All I know
I was covered in darkness
Covered in darkness
Turning pages over
Run away to nowhere
And it's hard to take control
When your enemy's old and afraid of you
You'll discover that the monster you were running from
Is the monster in you
Better to hold on to love
Better to hold on to love
Change will come
It doesn't really matter where it all began
All I know
I was covered in darkness
Covered in darkness
It doesn't really matter where it all began
Cuz all I know
I was lost
I was lost
No, no
It doesn't really matter where it all began no no
All I know
I was lost
I feel lost
Lost
No...

Sandro
The mouth of the sea and the eyes of the earth,
People came rushing for the news!
But what they got is not what they wanted because,
My lover had already covered her nakedness.
Dress like Dalessandro and walk like Sandro my friend!
For i really know much about thid life and,
I am ready to share my experiences with you.
Writing the unseen and seeing the unbelievable!
But the reporters came in and met something different;
Because my lover had already covered her nakedness,
And like one who marries Mary to make merry.

Lost In Daily Routine
lost in daily routine
the nerves take revenge
look how can you
not raise a hand?
there is a hole
covered by a river
there is a void
covered by flesh
my feet find it hard
to walk toward the church

Journey In Blue Sea
with all its seplendour rise the sun,
throws its crimson radiance over the ocean,
feeling myself as bright as sun,
getting in to flower covered boat,
on the surface of silver bright water for having fun.
wearing glittering fairy dress,
my bright glances wants god' bless.
seems to tremble sunny rays,
falling on the floating waves.
melting music softly rise,
gentle sounds play along the waters towards the sky.
very smoothly water flow,
very gently light breeze blows...........
The Covered Bridge
The covered bridge above a stream
in hues of weathered colour cream,
who's planks once bowed from wheel and hoof -
her carriages now seem aloof,
and paint curls back off every beam.
Traversed by oxen as a team
the wear and tear had been extreme.
Several bids were made to proof
the covered bridge,
but they were few and far between.
Now years gone by, they cross by steam.
Expelling out her grey-white poof,
the churning locomotive's woof,
her trav'lers 'member naught, but dream
the covered bridge.

Autumn Frost
The morning sun shows like a pillar
Of fire through smoke on frosty days.
As on a faulty snap, it cannot
Make out my features in the haze.
The distant trees will hardly see me
Until the sun at last can break
Out of the fog, and flash triumphant
Upon the meadows by the lake.
A passer-by in mist receding
Is recognized when he has passed.
You walk on hoarfrost-covered pathways
As though on mats of plaited bast.
The frost is covered up in gooseflesh,
The air is false like painted cheeks,
The earth is shivering, and sick of
Breathing potato-stalks for weeks.
