The Blueprint States

It has always been significant.
That blueprint.
It describes their events!
Time released...
And to them sent.
But alterations to it...
Was never meant.
They have been trying to find,
Ways to avoid it.
Undermining the message.
And becoming annoyed by it!
And the blueprint states...
Exactly what the stakes are.
They have their scholars shouting in their ears.
Even Earth itself...
Can not get them to hear.
And they can not conceive,
This Earth living and breathing at all!
A common sense within them,
Has been ego enthralled!
And nothing sent...
Can transcend their dementedness.
They truly believe they are descendants of the heavens.
And yet their actions represent a demonicness.
And that blueprint goes ignored...
With every detail being abhorred!
As if to wish its existence,
To simply fade and go away!
Like a 'sanity' that now betrays them.
And the 'deities' have given them that!
And it appears as though...
They are clearly too powerful.
And here to take every shred of sanity back!
It has been selfishly abused...
To feed the greed of mindless fools!
What height of arrogance is this?
To dismiss what has been to them given,
To correct their senselessness!

Tears Are Not Enough

Tears for souvenirs
Tears are not enough
Tears for shields and spears
Tears are not enough
Searching for certainty
When its such an unstable world
Searching for something good
And Im looking for the real mccoy
Blueprint: that says that boy meets girl
Picture: girl meets boy
A blueprint that says that the boy meets the girl
Picture in a magazine
_ chorus:
Yes youve shown your feelings
Yes youve shown youre tough
Said things worth believing
Tears are not enough
Repeat chorus
Slam that door, slap my face
But I dont love you anymore
Dry your eyes, sink or swim
You surmise you cant win
We all make great mistakes
Blueprint: that says that boy meets girl
Picture: girl meets boy
A blueprint that says that the boy meets the girl
Picture in a magazine
_ chorus
Would I lie
Should I lie
Could I lie to you?
Excuses had their uses,
But now theyre all used up, all used up
Excuses had their uses,
But now theyre all used up, all used
_ chorus
Tears for souvenirs
Tears are not enough
Tears for shields and spears
Tears are nor enough

To tell something original.

She says, you are not original in what you are telling me

Any janitor in your office can always say that seeing that

It is different. I am original in this. I am feeling something.
I am original in this feeling and you do not feel it that way I see these things.

I am leaving you. It is the first time I am feeling this. It is this first time
That I am telling you. I am original. I have long searched what words to use

To tell something original.

Copies are different originals

I take after my father but not his original.
I take after my brother but not his original.
Replicas are themselves original.

Originally Yours

challenged to be
original
i quit. i am not
original i am a xerox
copy of
another mind
i am a duplicate
of another carbon
copy
i am an imprint
of another zealousness
i use other people's words
i listen to
every syllable
and they all stay
inside my heart
like decanted
mass from acetic acid
from coconut
wine.
i am not original
i look at myself
in the mirror
i am not original
but i put on a smile
i am too
one kind of
a handsome
copycat.

Very few people are original. There's very little original anything out there. Because to be original means you have to stand alone.

No thought is original

Some are original, some inspired,
Some copied, some reproduced,
Some modified or expanded
The original itself is the seed
Of one’s impression of events.
Nothing is original.
New born is not the newborn.
It is the extension of the fused gametes.

A replica too is original

Maybe he takes after his father.
He cannot for that be his father.
The replica resembles the original
And is original from the original.

Don’t brand any as copied

Needing Structure

A spackling 'now' used,
Will not disguise
The appearance of cracks.
Shouldn't a wall be erected...
Before this is applied to that?
I know the blueprint calls
For an action to take place.
But applying spackle to the bricks...
First
Seems too quick and such a waste.
And yet I understand,
When you say the patience you held
Has slipped from your hands.
But wouldn't it be wonderful...
If you and the rest,
Saw this as a team effort at its best.
And not as an individual quest in a contest?
Perhaps you will find...
That blueprint means more than a bunch of lines.
And minds working together,
Saves accusations traded.
To build upon a foundation claimed,
Needing structure and a purpose...
As well as a name to adorn the frame!
And this you say is a craft you crave?
Which part of it is understood?

No Poem Is An Original

No poem is an original
everyone who writes
poetry thinks their poem
was an original, it just so
happens that their poem just
surfaced to the top
of their mind first, so they
were able to write it.

Everyone has love, hate
compassion buried deep
in their soul.

Poets are able to bring
all of this to the surface,
to construct, add the words,
but it is not an original
idea, for the poet because
they wrote it now, it
becomes an original for them.

Who has not heard a song,
read a poem, story or book,
seen a movie and said,
to themselves, hey I had
that same idea.

Only thing is, someone else
brought it to the surface
of the mind, and wrote it first.
Even this poem I'm writing
now is not an original
someone out there
has this idea buried
deep in their soul.

So if you have an idea
for a poem, get busy
write it, don't wait,
or you won't write an original
start today,
don't delay.

Original thought is like original sin: both happened before you were born to people you could not have possibly met.

Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.

The only reason I would write a sequel is if I were struck by an idea that I felt to be equal to the original. Too many sequels diminish the original.
