We need God, not in order to understand the why, but in order to feel and sustain the ultimate wherefore, to give a meaning to the universe.

Of That Which Has Created The Earth
Everything has an order.
Everything has a discipline.
When those believe,
They can disrupt an order...
That has strict discipline,
To attempt to impose their wishes...
As if this skips the attention,
Of that which has created the Earth...
They from birth have leeched upon.
And they...
Created by it from within,
A Supreme Inyelligence?
THAT is the ultimate ungratefulness.
THAT is the ultimate display of arrogance.
And 'that' arrogance ultimately ends,
As is to be witnessed.
Without a weapon used that could possibly defend.

Pie In The Sky
It takes photon power
And eight minutes of an hour
To make it to our sun
And I know it sounds weird
But itll take you four years
To make the next one
Expanding border
Thats the sauce
Of chaos
And thats an order
Thats an order
So stomp your feet
And clap your hands
Get out of your seat
And do a little dance
Lift up your voice
And sing with glee
Now listen carefully to me
Desert your quarters
Behold the pie in the sky
And thats an order
Thats an order
Thats an order [7x]

Your Innocence
Your innocence brings order to us,
It reminds us of our heaven,
This religion is pure and crimeless.
Then the men who led the men of cruelness
Define what life can mean with conclusion,
Your innocence brings order to us.
Let the future tell us the solution to the crisis,
Giving us order without computation,
This religion is pure and crimeless.
My production of money is from cunningness,
Forcing the actions from complication,
Your innocence brings order to us.
May we understand each other as generous,
Forming policies of kindness like a fountain,
This religion is pure and crimeless.
The condition we experience from riches is joyous,
Finding a happy home with the fortune,
This religion is pure and crimeless,
Your innocence brings order to us.

An Intruder
You like those worlds of order
A seaming order you don’t understand
That look like systems or something
Seaming you don’t understand
Deeply rooted in rules
The rules you don’t understand
You like to touch them I know
I know and I understand
Because your hair is wild
You like to blow them away
Scatter their neatness into the air
Because your eyes are restless
You like to open them up
And see what lies lie therein
Because your hands are free
You like to build them again
Whatever the peril design
Because you never had roots
You like to plant them in sunrooms
With lots of windows and halls
You are euthanasia sleeping on the patchworks
Perhaps you should leave those worlds alone

Order Of The Universe
I order theme
(anderson / howe / wakeman / bruford)
Instrumental
Ii rock gives courage
(anderson / howe / wakeman / bruford / lawrence)
You dont need anybody, dont you give me that surprise
Everything about you inside your eyes
You dont need anybody in your family ties
You crossed over the river
You dont need any money to deserve all your friends
Its just the love you give them
You dont need anybody in this complicated life
You crossed over the river
And youre there on your own and youre lost in your life
And you think theres someones gonna make you feel so good
You better lose control you better watch your step
For theres something inside you, they call it
Rock gives courage, a way to win the trust
Rock gives lover a way to win or bust
You dont need anybody in this complicated life
You crossed over the river
Rock gives courage, a way to with the trust
Rock gives lovers a way to win or bust
Rock gives sisters a way to speak their mind
Without this gift of rock and roll
Wed all be wasting time
Iii its so hard to grow
(anderson / howe / wakeman / bruford)
They say weve got it made, they say we gotta light
Where is the man with all the great directions
They say we gotta win, they say we gotta learn
But in the end its just the same damn reason
They say youve gotta run, they say you gotta jump
Dont really need to know which way were going
They say we gotta push, they say we gotta shout
Is this the way to keep our bonfires burning
Sick feeling, sick reasoning, sick challenge you la la la la
You cant imagine it, how hard it is to grow
You cant imagine it, can you imagine
The order of the universe
You dont need anybody, dont you give me that surprise
Everything about you inside your eyes
You dont need anybody in your family ties
You crossed over the river
You dont need any money to deserve all your friends
Its just the love you give em
You dont need anybody in the complicated life
You crossed over the river, you crossed over the river
You crossed over the river, you crossed over the river
Iv the universe

To keep it simple you run your gym like you run your house. Keep it clean and in good running order. No jerks allowed, members pay on time and if they give you any crap, throw them out. There's peace where there's order.
It is the function of science to discover the existence of a general reign of order in nature and to find the causes governing this order. And this refers in equal measure to the relations of man - social and political - and to the entire universe as a whole.

God Give |Me strength of a Vindaloo
God give me the strength of a Vindaloo
To order for the first time a Vindaloo
My pals are expecting me to show I’m game
God Vindaloo strength, lift up my name
I’ll be seen as top man, if I swallow and chew
This initiation dish, that so many spew
I’ll be able to say which pub we go next
I’ll be the first in the morning the others will text
God give me the strength of a Vindaloo
The waiter is here, I’m in full view
My pals are waiting to hear what I say
Theres no way out, pray, pray pray
He’s asked me to order, the tension is here
I’ll buy more time if I order more beer
But I’ve already got two pints on the table
God Vindaloo strength, help me show them I’m able
“Sir, can I take your order please”
God Vindaloo strength, stop these knocking knees
I stood up and shouted “CHICKEN VINDALOO”
“IM A MAN AT LAST, YIPPERDEEDOO”
“AND VINDALOO FOR MY PALS, THAT’S YOU, AND YOU TOO! ”
God Vindaloo strength I thank you
Same again tomorrow
When I need the loo
There is neither happiness nor unhappiness in this world; there is only the comparison of one state with another. Only a man who has felt ultimate despair is capable of feeling ultimate bliss. It is necessary to have wished for death in order to know how good life is to live.

The Poetry of Baseball
Grip the words firmly in your glove
Feel the stitching with your hand
Now suck in the pitched air
Focus on the space
Between the catcher and the plate
There is a shape of space
You must curve or slide or hurl
Emotion packed pitch of verb
Rhythm and control
Rock back and throw your leg
Feel the muscle of meaning
Unwind
As you trace a line through space
And connect with a place and time
Timing is everything.
Emotion, execution
You bridge the gap
You give the batter heat
With a singing snap
And feel the rightness of the pitch
The batter anticipates
You hear
Mountain ash smacking leather
The sweet spot meeting
And the afternoon has meaning
Hits runs innings outs
mark the passage of time
Walks bunts runs slides
Syntax for reaching home.
Diamonds of green, players and team
Nostalgia for the order of rhyme.
Baseball season, figurative reason
Picture of
Order and control
The legacy, the legends
The practiced ebb and flow
Epic age- old patterns
Every poet yearns to know.

Sometimes we must (2)
Sometimes
We adapt in tranquility
Yet face the
Insolent society.
Sometimes
We get hurt
In order to grow.
Sometimes
We fail
In order to know.
Sometimes
We feel maturity
Yet unaware off
Our creativity.
Sometimes
We go through
The complexity
To maintain
Our originality.
Sometimes
Our visions broaden
When our eyes
Are washed away
With tears.

I've never been convinced that experience is linear, circular, or even random. It just is. I try to put it in some kind of order to extract meaning from it, to bring meaning to it.
