Every acquisition of accommodation becomes material for assimilation, but assimilation always resists new accommodations.

Birthmark
Assimilation done,
Is easily accepted with effect...
When within one's reach.
And this kind of assimilation,
Isn't difficult to teach.
Especially when the aspects of it,
Is as obvious as a birthmark...
Nearly impossible to bleach.
What is implemented stays to keep.
With a disfiguring of perceptions but not beliefs.

It is the purpose of the majority of the Immigration Committee to encourage assimilation, yet this bill has already done more than anything I know of to bring about discord among our resident aliens.

I absolutely believe in assimilation. I don't believe I'm any different from straight people. My wants and needs are the same as theirs. I don't look at sexual orientation as that big of a deal. It's just an orientation.

I think we always move from imitation to assimilation to innovation, but I can't name you 20 people outside those we've already recognized who ever got to point three: innovation.

I guess the two Manifesto, Communicating Vessels, Mad Love, and some of his poetry made a significant mark on me but as far as bringing a literary element into the music I see it as a much broader assimilation.

Assimilation
We are all united as one.
That is our policy!
And with any assimilation,
Considered to be done...
It 'has' to be understood,
Those of different ethnic and cultural...
Expressions to invest,
To expose a pride and diversity...
Will be rejected!
Unless...
It is confessed,
That 'our' way of doing things...
Is accepted as expected!

But then I came to the conclusion that no, while there may be an immigration problem, it isn't really a serious problem. The really serious problem is assimilation.

More than one-third of Mexicans in the United States own property in Mexico, nearly 80 percent send money home and 25 percent have a spouse in Mexico. Assimilation and becoming an American citizen are not the objective for many of them.

Twisted
most people now have a twisted
view
of what charity is
when i lend a helping hand
they think about the hidden agenda
when you give them a treat
they think something wrong is going
at their backs
after all the years
of use and misuse
charity has no face anymore
when you do something good
they think you are into something
benevolent assimilation
convinces no one anymore

Futile
assimilate the night
they cut into your brain
they crack apart the skull
and stick the wires in
the computer releationship
a flame into the flesh
a cut into the brain
a cut runs in your face
you can't believe your head
you can't believe your eyes
nobody can escape
the futile assesment
the futile assesment
oh, futile
we're futile
futile
you're futile
futile religion
futile expression
your futile aggression
a futile obsession
oh, futile assasination
you'll faulter
your generation
your immoral futile assimilation
expressionation
annihilation

Resist the resistance.
The floor resists and hence you walk.
The water resists and hence you swim.
You stand on the earth as it pulls.
To rise up, shy not the resistance?

Unasking
Timeless,
the eyes and fractured wisdom,
the two of us, extremely prudent, suffering
the dislocation of vigilance against wrinkled sin,
I am on my own today
disconnected to
the unearthly rehearsal
of breaking the cycle of carbon assimilation
in the veins of white lies, of crude bombs,
moonbathing we were colloiding in void
of consciousness and scattered verses
in scriptures remained unsearched;
the brutal hierarchy of chromosomes,
loud and merciless, in the birth of new settlements,
huge ovens for cremations, collecting the golden
teeth from the ashes, celebrating the
return of blood and death, me,
blessing the unborn poem.
