I just have a lot off different influences.

I put together the influences of my life in as clear a way as I possibly can, in the same way that Beethoven or Schoenberg or Bach put their influences together.
This record has a lot of influences that I'd love to cover, like Marvin Gaye and Earth, Wind and Fire. Maybe I'll do some covers of my major influences during my live show.

Resist It
Resist negative influences and live,
And let me connect you with my love so sweet;
For the positive values of life are needed by us,
And like the words that comes out from your mouth.
Say it right and do it right,
And resist negative influences!
For the values of life needs peace, untiy, love and care.

Imitated Life Grasped Scenarios
why do so many
people copy imitate
fashions friends
whatever is trending?
probably for host many
reasons peer pressures
to fit feel sense belonging?
children learn by copying
drawing repeating acting
multiple forms of imitating
many write down copies
of life grasped scenarios
words that inspire infantile minds
songs pantomime experiences
influences influences attitudes teaching
parental behaviour modeling
misbehaviour temper tantrums scolding
social values norms rewarding
today often trends electronically copying
has someone copied your look work styles?
to be imitated is a form of praise
in X generation many influences
most just seek trendy differences
it takes infinitely longer to know self
to develop knowledge of essential self
unique souls perpetuate shades of self

Where Demographics Are Marketed
I can not be a true racist.
There is nothing I possess,
That controls or influences...
Whose lives I affect.
I am not a controller of quotas.
Nor can I influence those who do.
And I know no one influencial...
Who hires and fires,
Or decides who should choose.
I can not be a true racist.
There is nothing I possess,
That controls or influences...
Whose lives I affect.
If I am connected to the media,
I certainly do not own it.
And nothing I write to publish in print...
Has my last word,
Where demographics are marketed.
Or whose mind will be convinced.
Wherever the message I convey is sent!

I don't have any influences, any heroes, it's just me.
Juvenalia I
They are the poems you found leatherbound
in a cedar drawer, decades later
dedicated to their 'only begetter'
the girl (where is she now?) you took to the senior prom
in your fathers' fancy, foreign luxury car.
Inhabited by Circes, Aphrodites, Maeves,
influences you never knew you had
none, mind you, awfully bad
employing every Italian form known
to occidental man, perfectly rhymed and sad.
some quite good and none, I stress, especially bad:
sonnets, odes, epodes, a tearful sestina
one parsed-out in queasy terza-rima
(English being a rhyme-poor tongue)
one boldly comparing love to influenza. (!) (?)
Nor are there French influences wanting-
viralays, rondalays, rondeaux:
there in the walled garden blows the tall rose
of Ronsard, beside the pretty orchard
of yellow pears ahanging.
