I'm trying to make a case for those people who don't have a sense of belonging that they should have, that there is something really worthwhile in having a sense of belonging, and recasting and looking at our modern history.

It is that, but really, it's about how we don't recognise the little things in life, or appreciate the little things in life like belonging. A sense of belonging is a big thing today.

Crafts make us feel rooted, give us a sense of belonging and connect us with our history. Our ancestors used to create these crafts out of necessity, and now we do them for fun, to make money and to express ourselves.

Someone Belonging to Someone
I know how I feel
Lonely in the black of night
There can be no love for me now
Nobody listens when the words ain't right
And you get into someone else
It's hard for me to know
Who's lovin' who
And where do I stand
What did I do it all for
There's no one I could love more
I did it for your heart alone
All that I try to be growin' inside to me
I can be strong if you're there
And there is someone belonging to someone
And I got no one belonging to me
I live in a world where the face of an angel
is all that a fool can see
You got the power to find me whenever I'm lost
Where are you ? Who are we?
I believe in time
Can eat away a heart of stone
And baby if I leave you too late
It's just a feather and the bird has flown
It's colder when the fire dies
With all the trouble I'm in if I lose you too
Then what is my life
If I don't wanna go through
Anything without you
Couldn't be life at all
I could be lyin' on
You are the only one
We didn't make it by chance
And there is someone
belonging to someone
And I got no one belonging to me
I'm caught in a world on
the edge of tomorrow
It's all that a fool can find
I don't belong in the arms
of a love that is lost
Nowhere to cry
There must be something we
can say my love
Something except goodbye
And there is someone belonging to someone
And I got no one belonging to me
Repeat above

I had friends at school, but I was never part of a gang and I dreamed of that sense of belonging to a group. You know, where people would call me 'Em' and shout across the bar, 'Em, what are you drinking?' after the show.

I think I had a shyness about me, I think I discovered acting as a way to break out of that and as a way of belonging, a sense of being special.

An Old Dog
an old dog
stays guarding the house
waiting for me
not wagging its tail
it is dead
it is this sense of waiting and
belonging
it is this that gives
the door mat
its meaning

I Was Made To Think It
First and foremost you've been the ultimate friend
But you know that's not a passport to me
It's seems secondary to the official reasons I have
But you know they're not right
They're not supposed to be right
Such a royal misfit
You demand the highest respect
Such a royal misfit
Your demands should be higher
It wasn't weird it wasn't nothing
Curious at all but nothing so high
It wasn't weird it wasn't nothing
It wasn't nothing
Moments follow one another without belonging
Moments follow one another without belonging
Moments follow one another without belonging
Moments follow one another without belonging
First and foremost what you know isn't everything you are
Or everything you know it to be
It seems secondary that the real real reason I have
When you know it's not right
It's not supposed to be right
Such a royal misfit
You demand the highest respect
Such a royal misfit
Your demands should be higher
It wasn't weird it wasn't nothing
Curious at all but nothing so high
It wasn't weird it wasn't nothing
Curious at all but nothing so high
It wasn't weird it wasn't nothing
Curious at all but nothing so high
It wasn't weird it wasn't nothing
It wasn't nothing
Moments follow one another without belonging
Moments follow one another without belonging
Moments follow one another without belonging
Moments follow one another without belonging

Outside
It's hard to explain
Inherently it's just always been strange
Neither here nor there --
always somewhat out of place everywhere
Ambiguous --
without a sense of belonging to touch
Somewhere halfway --
feeling there's no one completely the same
Chorus:
Standing alone --
eager to just
believe it's good enough to be what
you really are
But in your heart
uncertainty forever lies
and you'll always be
somewhere on the
outside
Early on

Making sense
No sense in it if you act non-sense
People may push you away with sense
You may think why people are utterly non-sense?
When you are perfectly ok and act wit sense
You may fail in your love attempts
Some thing may force you or to act prompt
Still you act with sense and avoid
You may face difficulties which are self maid
You may act wise with change of scene
Gentleman like approach when publicly seen
Is it not the humanly act minus sin?
When one tries to project what he has been?
What comes to your help or rescue?
You may be wondering without any clue
You may blink and face may turn blue
When projection makes no sense for you
Sense is third eye for human being
Timely act may make him king
Opponent may face defeat in the ring
You may survive……………..
What, if nothing suggests or paves the way?
Your voice may not be heard or have the say
You may stick to position and bat for long
Still it makes sense that you are not always wrong
You will know what lies ahead?
Common sense may stop you to be mislead
So even if you are worried or so tense
You may act wise and come out with sense

From everything that man erects and builds in his urge for living nothing is in my eyes better and more valuable than bridges. They are more important than houses, more sacred than shrines. Belonging to everyone and being equal to everyone, useful, always built with a sense, on the spot where most human needs are crossing, they are more durable than other buildings and they do not serve for anything secret or bad.

Spirits are coming to visit
Spirits are coming to visit,
Frog and Bee,
Coyote,
All away from home,
Coming for you,
Coming for healing.
Love is the key.
Eagles,
Dreams of flying
of belonging,
of the search
for legitimization.
Who is different?
Wolf,
pack animal,
highly attuned to belonging.
Lone Wolf,
and the pain of alienation
isolation
loneliness
Alone.

Not Only Learning Facts
Not only learning facts
that flow fresh through
the mind like
a blowing wind
but life reinstalling
seemingly obvious
self apparent truth
facts belonging in the category
of novelty state of self multiplying

truth belonging to eternal time
still silent self contained in the mind

Total uprising
What are we witnessing today?
You mean total uprising and new way
“How can that be reality” friend from abroad exclaimed
I said “Yes” it is really surprising and claimed
“One man army” if any one prefers to call
Even mightiest of empires to crumble and fall
“What can you do old man and spent force”
Ruler boosted with all his strength without remorse
“My life is like open book and contains message”
It has nothing to do with my falling health or age
History may speak of vanished empire
People may express solidarity and admire
This is what we speak of people’s war
Even people disbelieve staying very far
How can non-violence bring about result?
At the cost of indignation, personal injury and insult
Power can blind even honest persons
It has wide ranging implications with reasons
No one can buy arguments when you are corrupted
You rise in anger when questioned and interrupted
This is how we, as nation, are suffering
No good sense prevails despite honest offerings
Love to wipe out the tears of poor
They are helpless and can’t knock every door
When poor are starved and fired upon?
Asking for honorable living and so on
No empire can stand on its own
It has fall down disgracefully and com down
History may be repeated and remembered
Country may gain real independence without dismembered
No one has come down or surrendered
But popular will is imposed or ordered
“Come down, O. tyrants” you will find no place
Give the rightful belonging if that is the case
We shall have it by popular will
Not a single shot being fired or person killed

Objectivity
There is a mob in the backyard,
protesting my nightmare.
They wear t-shirts bearing the image,
of the man who wants me dead.
They chant the same 'Down With Jeff! ' slogan
so forcefully I swear it has a shadow.
What have I done to deserve this?
I pick up a sign and move among them,
like a kind of silence murderers return to.
I join the chant against me,
and for the first time I feel a sense of belonging.

Mind Fed Rituals
When determined people,
Pray to God to have their way...
And God sends to them messengers,
To scream from bullhorns...
This is not going to happen.
Leave people like this.
Do not attempt to make bargains...
With the use of common sense.
Leave people like this.
These people only value,
The physical aspects of life.
People like this will make their mission,
To enlist others to value their point of view.
Even to select and depict those unknowing,
They have been chosen as culprits...
By someone who did not like,
How they were told...
To remove their rose colored glasses!
Leave people like this.
Do not attempt to make bargains...
With the use of common sense.
Leave people like this.
These people only value,
The physical aspects of life.
And the 'spiritual' side of it...
Is a routine of mind fed rituals,
Outdated by a lack indepth perception.
Leave people like this.
Do not attempt to make bargains...
With the use of common sense.
A common sense for many,
That has been diluted.

Happiness Within
Happiness is not only heard through laughters
But of course...
By the warmth of one' touch
By the calm smile from one's lips
By the graceful move of one's body
By the sense of belonging of a certain being
You too can show that real happiness within you
Show it in the eyes
And any signs will follow afterwards
Eyes will brought out all the happiness within.
See now for yourself...
See now!

Merely Pointless
War will always be found
As long as the world goes round
Whether it is because of your race,
Or just because someone was in your face
War is always the first thing in our mind
For all of those belonging to mankind
For before you know it, the War has started
Then you realize, it has already departed
Only to temporarily disappear,
For soon you will be back on the frontier
Fighting for some childish cause
Not even giving yourself a second to pause,
And ask why we are so hostile
Or if this is even worthwhile
For the War will continue, never to end
Always fighting, no attempts to befriend

Sense

Which makes some sense
Other than nonsense
Supreme sense
Is civic sense.
Embedded with moral sense
Inject sense
In this universe
Oozing with nonsense.

My Love Needs You
My love needs you,
My mind wants you,
And my mouth speaks to you daily!
For, your muse is blended with the sense of belonging to my soul.
Shelf life,
Relating;
Self life,
Compared;
Helping,
Competition;
Minor,
Major;
Category,
Impractical;
Laziness,
Non-existent;
But, this constitutes the act of your love!
All the same, my love needs you in the sweet land of your muse.
