We cannot banish dangers, but we can banish fears. We must not demean life by standing in awe of death.

Fear Is Just a Word
Fear is just a word
That's tarnished our lives
It stops us from reaching
Our goals in our lives
The darkness the gloom
Makes us run, makes us hide
Just don't let it control
You're meaning in life
Stomp out that fear
Stomp the darkness away
Banish the fear
That stops you in your tracks
Banish the fear
Of sadness away
Because once you do
And you kick it aside
I promise you this
It will make your days
And your life
Just seam worth while

The Birds Will Still Be Singing
Summertime withers as the sun descends
He wants to kiss you. will you condescend?
Before you wake and find a chill within your bones
Under a fine canopy of lovers dust and humourous bones
Banish all dismay
Extinguish every sorrow
Eternity stinks, my darling. thats no joke
Dont waste your precious time pretending youre
Heartbroken
There will be tears and candles
Pretty words to say
Spare me lily-white lillies
With the awful perfume of decay
Banish all dismay
Extinguish every sorrow
If Im lost or Im forgiven
The birds will still be singing
Its so hard to tear myself away
Even when you know its over
Its too much to say.
Banish all dismay
Extinguish every sorrow
If Im lost or Im forgiven
The birds will still be singing

The Spirits for Good
We come with peace and reason,
We come with love and light,
To banish black self-treason
And everlasting night.
We know no god nor devil,
We neither drive nor lead—
We come to banish evil
In thought as well as deed.
And this our grandest mission,
And this our purest worth;
To banish superstition,
The blackest curse on earth.
We come to pass no sentence,
For ours is not the power—
The coward’s vain repentance
But wastes the waiting hour.
’Tis not for us to lengthen
The years of wasted lives;
We come to help and strengthen
The goodness that survives.
We promise nought hereafter,
We cannot conquer pain,
But work, and rest, and laughter,
Will soothe the tortured brain.
That which is lost, we cannot
Restore to any one—
But Truth and Right must triumph,
And Justice must be done!
We come in many guises;
But every one is plain
To each pure thought that rises
Again and yet again.
We are ourselves and human,
And ours our destiny;
The souls of Man and Woman
Divorced by Vanity.

The Epicure
FILL the bowl with rosy wine,
Around our temples roses twine.
And let us cheerfully awhile,
Like the wine and roses smile.
Crown'd with roses we contemn
Gyge's wealthy diadem.
Today is ours; what do we fear?
Today is ours; we have it here.
Let's treat it kindly, that it may
Wish, at least, with us to stay.
Let's banish business, banish sorrow;
To the Gods belongs tomorrow.

My Melancholy Baby
Why do you grieve?
Try and believe
Life is always sunshine
When the heart beats true
Banish your fears
Smile through your tears
When youre sad
It makes me feel the same as you...
Come to me my melancholy baby
Cuddle up and dont be blue
All your fears are foolish fancy, maybe
You know, dear, that Im in love with you;
Every cloud must have a silver lining
Wait until the sun shines through
Come on and smile, my honey dear,
While I kiss away each tear
Or else I shall be melancholy too...

Stop, Choosing to Demean
You've got your meaning,
And still you are choosing to demean...
My love?
Ya gotcha meaning,
But-cha choosing to demean.
Ya gotcha meaning,
But-cha choosing to demean.
Ya gotcha meaning,
But-cha choosing to demean.
Baby!
I gotcha meaning that demeans,
What I say.
And why it is I feel this way.
You're choosing to demean,
How I pray.
For us...
With faith and love,
Everyday!
Baby!
You're choosing to demean.
I see,
You're choosing to demean.
My compassion,
You're choosing to demean.
And..
My strong beliefs.
Yo, Baby!
You're choosing to demean.
I see,
You're choosing to demean.
My compassion,
You're choosing to demean.
And..
My love for you so deep.
But, you choose to be so mean.
And baby...
Stop, choosing to demean.
Baby!
Stop, choosing to demean.
Yo' baby!
Stop, choosing to demean.
Yo' baby!
Stop, choosing to demean.
Yo' baby,
You mated!

If I Were A Student
If I were a student
Books will my companion be
Time shall my master be
The library shall my playground be
Devoted teachers will be my idols
To be a giant will be my ideal
If I were a student
Rudeness will I banish
Laziness will I never relish
Truancy will I at no time cherish
I will banish procrastination
And never tarnish my reputation
If I were a student
Hard work will I entertain
Dedication to duty will I maintain
Respect to all will I sustain
I will retain perseverance
I will contain bad peer influence.
If I were a student
I will study vigorously
And follow instructions rigorously
I will strive to excel in every race
In a class of my own will I be placed
I giant I will be by his grace

Is man really courageous?
Is man really courageous?
He who says so
Must be lunatic.
Man fears life,
He fears death,
He fears disease,
He fears failure
And sometimes his success also,
He fears the truth,
He fears honesty,
He fears God
But on his terms,
And above all
He fears himself.
So why should he be called
A courageous?

Without You
The issues of
this life
overwhelm me.
Without you

dawn could
not break
all hope of

woud
banish.
dreams would
never come
true.
I'd be lost
without
you.

Fire Within
Clouded vision,
fog shrouded
sightlessly glide
through morning
pale shades,
searching
for clearer light!
Oh blazing star!
banish death's sight!
Clear clean
the sharp edges
of infinite right,
and emerge,
O Fire
within!

The End Of Suffering
“Danger” The innocent fear not!
Choosing instead life’s wonders
Without remorse or afterthought
‘Tho they may be prone to blunder
Youth are programmed to believe
By media, religion, academia
“You live and then you die”
So from the cradle they do grieve
Impending death and Satan’s lies
They know not;
“You get what you expect”
“Reap what you sow”
To claim “self respect”
To “Just go with the flow”
Banish suffering;
Love life for the sake of life
Forgive self, forgive others
Abolish chaos, war and strife
See only Sisters and Brothers
Then Mother Earth shall Eden be
For all free-men and their progeny
(Inspired by Freeman)

How Dark The Moment Be
How dark the moment be
Be sure that soon you will see
The first ray of bright sunshine
To brighten the way of thee and mine
Just don't lose hope of ever cry
Stick to courage and once more try
And then surely you will see
Bright sunshine smiling on thee
But for that just remember this my dear
That you have to banish all your fears
And have to look at the sky with smiles
And hope for the rise of sunshine in any trial.

Despiteful thus unto myself, I languish
Despiteful thus unto myself, I languish,
And in disdain, myself from joy I banish,
These secret thoughts enwrap me so in anguish,
That life, I hope. will soon from body vanish;
And to some rest will quickly be conveyed,
That on no joy, while so I liv’d, hath stayed.
