You can dominate a game if you dominate on the line... We're just going to have to go out there and work hard and blow people off the ball, and let our runners do what they do best.

Is The Battle Worth Fighting?
some individuals fight battles
with other individuals needlessly
some individuals are never long
content with getting their own way
some individuals fight ferociously
to dominate all those around about
some individuals who cannot safe vent dominate
their own desires seek to next dominate all others
some individuals who cannot control own emotions
seek to control all within range sphere of influence

It Does Not Have To Be This Way
Every culture tries to control, manipulate, shame, dominate the other culture, the dominate cultures today where the so called inferior cultures of the past, the so called inferiors to day where the dominate cultures of the past in many or most cases, in their region or in their portion of their continent. This is what individuals do to one another. This is how we are habituated on many levels, but it does not have to be this way. Believe in your self, face this tendency of humanity that we need to grow out of, defend your self from this, rise without putting others down. Weed out dysfunctional patterns of relating, of being that you picked up from your family.

Pets
Do we love dogs because we can dominate them?
They do as they are told (after some struggle)
and love us unconditionally because they know it
is their only chance of survival; and after a while
do they really love us as a slave loves his master?
Wolves on the other hand will never give a paw
they refused to be enslaved, want to be free of
human’s interference and we hate and fear what
we cannot dominate or train to do our bidding;
maybe it is wrong to keep pets?
Dogs have been with us since stone age when
being with humans were less stressing than
having to compete with wolves for food?
When the moon is full dogs howl their distress
asking if they have made the right choice?

We are so arrogant, we forget that we are not the reason for evolution, we are not the point of evolution. We are part of evolution. Unfortunately, we believe that we've been created to dominate the planet, to dominate nature. Ain't true.

In the second installment, I pretty much dominate the show. Somehow or another, though, I manage to apparently dominate the first show pretty well with just my voice and my hands and a shot of my boots kicking cartridges out of the way.

Whoever cultivates the golden mean avoids both the poverty of a hovel and the envy of a palace.
Whatever seeds each man cultivates will grow to maturity and bear in him their own fruit. If they be vegetative, he will be like a plant.

I believe that happiness is nothing but a chimera, a state of mind that man cultivates, clinging to the image of the future.

Perhaps there is an idea among Japanese students that one general difference between Japanese and Western poetry is that the former cultivates short forms and the latter longer ones, gut this is only in part true.

Phobos
The opposite of
Love is not hate, nor is it
Indiff'rence. Instead, the
Antithesis is power.
The will to dominate is
Confusion manifested,
And in confusion is fear:
Love's contradiction.

If I Can
If
I Can
Feel you
Understand you
Sacrifice for you
Take care of you
Listen to you
Appreciate you
Accept you
Dream of you
Not
Find faults in you
Dominate you
And
Love you
From the core of
My heart
What else
Can I do to have
You?

The Rhythm Of The Saints
If I have weaknesses
Dont let them blind me
Or camouflage all I am wary of
I could be sailing in seizures of laughter
Or crawling out from under the heel of love
Do my prayers remain unanswered
Like a beggar at your sleeve
Olodumare is smiling in heaven
Smiling in heaven I do believe
Reach in the darkness
A reach in the dark
Reach in the darkness
A reach in the dark
To overcome an obstacle or an enemy
To glide away from the razor or a knife
To overcome an obstacle or an enemy
To dominate the impossible in your life
Always a stranger when strange isnt fashionable
And fashion is rich people waving at the door
Or its a dealer in drugs or in passion
Lies of a nature weve heard before
Do my prayers remain unanswered
Like a beggar at your sleeve
Balalu-aye spins on his crutches
Says leave if you want
If you want to leave
Reach in the darkness
A reach in the dark
A reach in the darkness
Reach in the dark
To overcome an obstacle or an enemy
To glide away from the razor or a knife
To overcome an obstacle or an enemy
To dominate the impossible in your life
Reach in the darkness
A reach in the dark
Reach in the darkness
A reach in the dark
To overcome an obstacle or an enemy
To dominate the impossible in your life
Reach in the darkness
A reach in the dark

Love's Logical End
No one may be able to define what is called love
Person may float on the water like dove
He may not be certain or for sure
Will that be simple attachment, sacred or pure?
Basic instinct may remind her of grave danger
She may prove honest emissary and love manager
She may rule as queen in lonely kingdom
Love may infuse new lease of life out of boredom
She may dominate and swear in
It may be combination of intelligence and brain
Love is blind but may not eclipse
She may always greet but never point out lapses
Nothing likes to rule than to be ruled
Not to be pushed but always to be pulled
Gravitational pull may simply work here
It will strengthen the bond as you will remain dear
You had dreamt or desired it as fish
Remained in sea bed with simple wish
You may find it as natural gold
Soon to find place in lover’s hold
We will make it as heaven on soil
Win the hearts with smooth sail
Moon should feel jealous and hide the face
Seek refuge in clouds and go out of race
I may not survive to see it longer
You may dominate and emerge as stronger
True lovers can prove to be good friend
Can we make it memorable with logical end?
Is it gamble, infatuation, love or lust?
Should it not have something special and must?
We should rise above and uphold the real value
Then only it may find right place and due
