The World War broke out with such elemental violence, and with such resort to all means for leading or misleading public opinion, that no time was available for reflection and consideration.

Masterman Sonata
The world was made for us
And we belong in this world
But this world is very violente today
And to tell you the truth I don't even know if the violence in this world will End
But I have the feeling that we will never be able to live in a world without Violence because the only thing we know is violence
And we never learned anything else than violence
But I believe some enjoy the violence and they welcome the violence Into their lives

Violence means violence
Violence means violence and that
Has a dangerous precedence.
Violence can not counter violence
Without the equipment of non-violence
That has a appearance in the
inner heart of soulfence.

I believe that in the end the abolition of war, the maintenance of world peace, the adjustment of international questions by pacific means will come through the force of public opinion, which controls nations and peoples.

My Engine Is With You
what makes it go round the way we're up and down
we're minutiae staring at the whole sky
battle sense to keep you apprehensive
i guess no one is the same
we're all through different lenses
the bladder will filter all the pain
and the gut has sides you can't restrain
you are everything to me
you are cobalt elemental
a new lagoon five years down the line
and all i want is a lot of your time
these days when the clouds come in
heat broke no smoke without a fire
heat broke no smoke
[chorus]
infractions of the landscape
in a world we learn to escape
bad weather comes
but we have wood to burn
that which only gives
will always bring you through
my engine is with you
kilburn and california
make you wonder what it's all for
feed the lesson to the plate
twenty-one centuries
and I'm just starting to move
wreckless times like poison to the mood
daylight comes all too soon
accusations bruises to the head
planet waves to test your lead
you are everything to me
you are cobalt elemental
[chorus]
tie me in with electric line
bathe me in bacchanalian wine
if i with you to gold worlds of true moans
and eyes that see the same pool
if not the same water
if not the same water
if not the same water
you are everything to me
you are cobalt elemental
[chorus]

Publicity is a great purifier because it sets in action the forces of public opinion, and in this country public opinion controls the courses of the nation.

Whatever is right can be achieved through the irresistible power of awakened and informed public opinion. Our object, therefore, is not to enquire whether a thing can be done, but whether it ought to be done, to so exert the forces of publicity that public opinion will compel it be done.

We are the world. The world is you and me, the world is not separate from you and me. We have created this world - the world of violence, the world of wars, the world of religious divisions, sex, anxieties, the utter lack of communication with each other, with no sense of compassion, consideration for another. Wherever one goes in any country throughout the world, human beings, that is, you and another, suffer; we are anxious, we are uncertain, we don't know what is going to happen. Everything has become uncertain. Right through the world as human beings we are in sorrow, fear, anxiety, violence, uncertain of everything, insecure. There is a common relationship between us all. We are the world essentially, basically, fundamentally. The world is you, and you are the world. Realizing that fundamentally, deeply, not romantically, not intellectually but actually, then we see that our problem is a global problem. It is not my problem or your particular problem, it is a human problem.

When I recall my own path of life I cannot but speak of the violence, hatred and lies. A lesson drawn from such experiences, however, was that we can effectively oppose violence only if we ourselves do not resort to it.

Give Into Hate
Violence surrounds me
Violence in society
Violence in our eyes
Violence in their cries
Violence it's our fate?
Violence, it's too late?
Violence, no escape?
Violence, give into hate?
Is it human nature to act like animals?
We're all guilty, we're all criminals
Selfish species headed for a self destruction
Violent product of moral corruption
Violence for love
Violence because of hate
Violence, revolution
Violence of the state
Violence, you will find
Violence, it grips your mind
Violence, it's too late?
Violence, give into hate

Butterfly
You should know that my smile was leading to this
It's all in this letter
Strange how your wings ache like a son of a bitch
Just when you're, just when you're finally better
(fly away)
Butterfly
Someone like you just better watch where you step
People have been known to bleed
See how my words read like a kick in the head
Sometimes that's just what you need
(fly away)
Butterfly
Butterfly
Fly away my butterfly
Fly away
Fly away my butterfly
Fly away
Don't you know that my smile was misleading
I have outgrown my cocoon
By the time taht you read what you're reading
I will have flown to the moon
Fly away my butterfly
Fly away
Fly away my butterfly
Fly away...
You should know that my smile was leading to this

I am for violence if non-violence means we continue postponing a solution to the American black man's problem just to avoid violence.
I believe if a private citizen is able to affect public opinion in a constructive way he doesn't have to be an elected public servant to perform a public service.

I also hear your president say that war is the means of last resort and I think he means that. I met him last autumn and he assured me that they wanted to come through and disarm Iraq by peaceful means, and that's what we are trying to do as hard as we can.
Ghost Reflection
So much there is to see, never too much, always a blanket of ecstasy.
Pollute not the river of your knowing, for we glow – each and everyone.
Know that we glow, that we are as shining celestial mansions illuminating.
Blowing in the storms of ether elemental, I lay naked in your arms.
I am at one with the peace of the world, here in your arms, safe and serene.
Here I find my sanctuary from the world outside still turning.
Strange beasts fuelled on fearful agony rule this night for most.
Ghost projections host the reflection of the nightmare. Come.
Come share with me a smile, just one moment, one movement in descent.
People on the bridge above me, they know not that they proclaim
In their presence alone the grandeur of the world. Love all consuming.
I love them all but you the most, you my ghost reflection.

We have to stop this violence. We have to make the political nature of the violence clear, that the violence we experience in our own homes is not a personal family matter, it's a public and political problem. It's a way that women are kept in line, kept in our places.

In a Society in which there is no law, and in theory no compulsion, the only arbiter of behaviour is public opinion. But public opinion, because of the tremendous urge to conformity in gregarious animals, is less tolerant than any system of law. When human beings are governed by "thou shalt not", the individual can practise a certain amount of eccentricity: when they are supposedly governed by "love" or "reason", he is under continuous pressure to make him behave and think in exactly the same way as everyone else.
