I have a similar issue with people who hire me as I do with women. 'You have to have a particular taste to want to be around me. I have a slightly askew view.

What's interesting is that both men and women are struggling with this issue in remarkably similar percentages, but the big difference is that women tend to talk about this when men keep it silent.

Chasing Behind What Has Gone
No time is there left for you to take,
To waste procrastinating which way...
Provides an easier taste of life.
That decision should have been made.
And you have discovered time doesn't wait.
Why you are baffled by this is no surprise.
And no longer can you find anyone,
To accomodate your point of view.
Those who have similar visions too,
Are chasing behind what has gone.
Those who have similar visions too,
Are chasing behind what has gone.
Those who have similar visions too,
Are chasing behind what has gone.
Chasing in a race...
For a time that has long moved on!

Suspendancy
Suspendancy
Pendant pictures often hang askew
as if, personnified, they knew
most artists’ channelled tunnel view
is t[a]inted travesty seen through
perspectives missing rendez-vous
currrent observers’ key into.
Art is becoming ambigu,
bears tenuous relation to
contemporary contexts – true
and false corkscrew as red, green, blue,
suffice no longer, out of cue
compared to wave-length capture new
afforded by enhanced retinal cones
to ultra-violet spectrum sensor zones

Painted pictures, pendant, all-askew: -

that every artist’s airy-fairy view
is but a t[a]inted travesty! - Untrue?

In Dreams... well, I was slightly overcompensating with that. I was a bit like a director for hire, so maybe I was putting too much imagery that was familiar to me into it.

Holiday Chocolate
Chocolate- I am smitten
You are there for me
When no one cares
Or no one dares
You fill up my life
With ice cream, pie and cake
I'd even have you on vegetables
Tis' love for goodness sake
You taste soo good in candy
And great in truffles too
I love to munch and chew away
Happy hands coated in goo
Your sugar can make me crazy
I end up very wired
Flying around the house
A rocket: chocolate fired
My taste buds and my stomach
Don't share a similar view
While taste is running delightful
The other is in a stew
At first a big round bloat
And then sick to the gills
From whence my wife will surely say
'Take your stomach pills'
Perhaps a wiser chap than I
Would go gently to a treat
For the coming holiday season
I'll be in it with both feet

The sad story of happiness
Statistics tell. You can be
independent of them, but
you cannot deny them.
Though white Americans are freed
from many of the hassles and indignities
that affect black Americans, yet,
on average, they are only
very slightly happier.
Men have more power and freedom
than women, yet, on average,
they are not any happier.
(Women experience more depression,
but also more intense joy..)
Though the young have so much more
to look forward to, than the elderly,
yet ratings of life satisfaction rise slightly
up to age sixty-five, and for some, beyond..
People in colder areas of the USA
might expect Californians to be
happier. They are wrong.
Surely people who are more attractive
are happier than the unattractive?
Not so..
If you’re adequately housed,
adequately clothed, adequately fed,
then wealth will surely bring you greater happiness?
The rich are only a very little
happier than the middle classes…
So is this the end of
The American Dream – Joe,
José, Leroy, Yusuf, Gianni, Johan, Boris, Ivan, Ravi?
isn’t there a happy ending, over the border,
over the ocean, over the rainbow?
Yes, there is…
happy people grow rich faster..

Im Going Slightly Mad
Words and music by queen
When the outside temperature rises
And the meaning is oh so clear
One thousand and one yellow daffodils
Begin to dance in front of you - oh dear
Are they trying to tell you something
Youre missing that one final screw
Youre simply not in the pink my dear
To be honest you havent got a clue
Im going slightly mad
Im going slightly mad
It finally happened - happened
It finally happened - ooh oh
It finally happened
Im slightly mad
Oh dear
Im one card short of a full deck
Im not quite the shilling
One wave short of a shipwreck
Im not my usual top billing
Im coming down with a fever
Im really out to sea
This kettle is boiling over
I think Im a banana tree
Oh dear
Im going slightly mad
Im going slightly mad
It finally happened - happened
It finally happened - uh huh
It finally happened
Im slightly mad
Oh dear
Ooh ooh ah ah
Ooh ooh ah ah
Im knitting with only one needle
Unravelling fast its true
Im driving only three wheels these days
But my dear how about you
Im going slightly mad
Im going slightly mad
It finally happened
It finally happened - oh yes
It finally happened
Im slightly mad
Just very slightly mad
And there you have it

The fact is five months ago this was an issue that people weren't really talking that much about. Because of the president's leadership, because he's brought it to people's attention, it's now a top issue.

Sisterhood
Women are strong beings
Who always strive for the best
Women are courageous beings
Who always endure for success
Women are brave beings
Who always fight to win the battle
Forever seeking the Best
Life gets harder
The hill goes higher
The ocean drowns deep
When our problems overwhelm us
We forget the similar people next us
When we feel down and low
We turn against our girlfriends
We grin and hate on each other because
We are afraid to trust in each other
TRUST
Trust A Friend to be there, when you are in need.
When I look into your eyes now
I will see that you are hurting
I don't know why we are so mean to each other because
When I look into your eyes
I've never looked into your soul
Now I want to
I want to open up to you
I want to get to know you
HUG
I want to give you a hug, when you feeling lonely
with no one to talk to
I can be a friend to rely on, I can be a sister to trust
I can be a mother to give you unconditional love
LOVE.............I love you
As my friend, As a sister, As a mother, As a child
We have to love each other
I never really looked into your soul and yet
I know you hurting
I want to give you a hug
I want to give you some love
Sister Love
Sister Love is glorified love
Sister Love is sanctified love
Sister Love is needed love
We are so similar
We have to pillar each other
We need each other
The problems we have are similar
The issues we deal with are not foreign
We have to help each other
Instead we poke each others nerves
For pocket change
We rock break each others hearts
For unreal broken love
forgetting that our hearts are not made of steal
Forgetting that our love is precious and real
Pure and unconditional
Women must unit to conquer
Women must bond to be stronger
Sisterhood is the bondage unity of Womb-man
The creators of men.

Women Are Smarter
Let us put men and women together
See which one is smarter
Some say men, but I say no
Women run the men like a puppet show
It ain't me
It's the people that say
Men are leading the women astray
But I say, it's the women today
Smarter than the man in every way
Chorus:
That's right
The women are smarter
That's right
The women are smarter
That's right
The women are smarter
The women are smarter
That's right
Little boy sit on the corner and cry
Big man come and he asked him why
He said, "I can't do what the big boys do"
The man sat down and he cried too
It ain't me
It's the people that say
Men are leading the women astray
But I say, it's the women today
Smarter than the man in every way
Chorus:
That's right
The women are smarter
That's right
The women are smarter
That's right
The women are smarter
The women are smarter
That's right, that's right
Ever since the world began
Women been banned from the ways of man
Listen boy cuz I've got a plan
Give it up, don't try and understand
It ain't me
It's the people that say
Men are leading the women astray
But I say, it's the women today
Smarter than the man in every way
Chorus:
That's right
The women are smarter
That's right
The women are smarter
That's right
The women are smarter
The women are smarter
That's right
Let us put men and women together
See which one is smarter
Some say men, but I say no
Women run the men like a puppet show
It ain't me
It's the people that say
Men are leading the women astray
But I say, it's the women today
Smarter than the man in every way
Chorus:
That's right
The women are smarter
That's right
The women are smarter
That's right
The women are smarter
The women are smarter
That's right, that's right
Repeat chorus and fade out

No police department should hire more quickly than they can assimilate the people that they bring in, and we did. I take responsibility for it. It was the first opportunity I had to hire, and I wanted to do it, and I take responsibility.

Fire and Hire
Got this nuggets
from an old sage of mine
in the then promising youthful times
(thinking I would be soon a fire-and-hire officer but not)
Be cautious of fabulous cv/resume
be aware of glittering diplomas
overload certificates
overqualified is also disqualified
and not all of these are
fitted for the hire
how would you hire
to avoid mis-hire? (a barrier for a long-term goal)
Weed not out
those who would adapt new tricks
in a fast changing work place
they are a handful if not few
How?
I believe in your instinct;
my intuition says

For Those Who Are Wise
for those who are wise
are the very first to admit
they do not know much
just a little pinch of salt
to taste,
for those who are young
they do not talk about age at all
for those who are healthy
the medicine is not an issue
for those who are rich
money is not an issue
for those who are intelligent
the I.Q. is a taboo
for those who speak much
their inside is hollow
for those who listen much
everything is taken as such
for those who are dying
life becomes the most precious thing
for those who are fooled
to honesty must be glued.

Man Smart - Woman Smarter
Let us put men and women together, see which one is smarter,
Some say men, but I say no, women got the men like a puppet show.
It ain't me it's the people that say, men are leading women astray,
I say, it's the women today, smarter than the men in every way,
That's right the women are smarter, the women are smarted that's right.
Little boy sitting in the corner and cry, big man come and ask him why,
He said "I can't do what the big boys do", the man sat down and he cried too.

Ever since the world began women been imitating the ways of men,
But listen cause I've got a plan, give it up just don't try to understand.
It ain't me it's the people that say, men are leading women astray,
I say, it's the women today, smarter than the men in every way.

Folks Who Sugarcoat
If people were to come out of their closets...
Millions would find
They can exchange similar wardrobes!
Especially a taste for kinkiness,
Many in business attire...
Can't wait to discard to immediately address!
And these are the very folks who sugarcoat,
The World's mess!
