I never think of myself as wise. I think of myself as possessing a critical intelligence which I intend to allow to operate.

I don't intend to simply go away and write my plays and be a good boy. I intend to remain an independent and political intelligence in my own right.

Condition Critical

Oh the tension's mounting
The pressure starts to show
All the men in haunting
Please don't let me go
(Don't go)
Try to free my body
(Don't go)
Try to strap me down
(Don't go)
These'll never break me
(Don't go)
Free wheel to look at me
Condition critical
I'm feeling physical
Condition critical
Now I'm really cynical
The bells they are ringing
Or is it in my head
My nerves numb understanding
I'm falling out of bed
(Don't go)
So call it paranoia
(Don't go)
I don't see it that way
(Let's go)
You say I adore ya
(Hell no)
We're gonna rock they way
Condition critical
I'm feeling physical
Condition critical
Now I'm really cynical
Ooh ooh
Whips and chains
Don't feel no pain
What's so wrong
I think I'm going out of my head
Over heels
I can't feel
No pain, only pleasure
Get me out
Take me home
Can't you see my condition
Woo-woo-woo
Condition

Condition critical, critical

That Will or Can Replicate the Doing

This may be traumatic.
But those possessing intelligence,
Are not of your creation.
No scholars you determine...
And selected to roam the halls of ivy.
May be ill equipped,
To handle common sense.

Leather bound books,
May encase what you feel is brilliant
Based upon what you declare...
Reflects an exclusive experience.
To be then induced and reproduced.
To recreate your version...
Of majestic mountains,
And the air we breathe allowed by trees.

This may be traumatic.
But those possessing intelligence,
Are not of your creation.
Nor is 'that' which has made this possible.

And there is nothing you can research and document...
That will or can replicate the doing.
The only choices you can make...
Is to steal and pretend,
You are the beginning of it all.
But your presence when that ends...
Does not 'end' the presence of what is witnessed.

This may be traumatic.
But you...
Having nothing to do with it.
You just represent the effects.
That's all!
Unless you're convinced...
Your head can damage or break a brick wall?

We live in a culture in which intelligence is denied relevance altogether, in a search for radical innocence, or is defended as an instrument of authority and repression. In my view, the only intelligence worth defending is critical, dialectical, skeptical, desimplifying.

The higher the general average of intelligence, all things else being equal, the less the disposition to be meddlesome, critical, and overbearing.

Prayer is commitment. We don't merely co-operate with God with certain things held back within. We, the total person, co-operate. This means that co-operation equals committment.

The Soldier Man

The rifle and the bullet
He handles with bravura;
A quintessence of a warrior,
A mighty man of valor;
Possessing the intelligence of a hundred men.

Come hell or high waters,
He's no superman,
But still remains a soldier~
A soldier man indeed!

The first stage in a technology's advance is that it'll fall below a critical price. After it falls below a critical price, it will tend, if it's successful, to rise above a critical mass, a penetration.

The fool

You lack intelligence
so it makes you wise with indigent intelligence
go meet your friends your fellow
empty head and just a hollow
if you disagree, hit your head, hear sound that follow
your words like where frogs solo

i crave your indulgence
pray ask for wisdom, intelligence
aimlessly walking from coast to coast
with head now ignorance toast

look for a way to be groomed
if you continue this way, you are fore-doomed
argue and shout no more
rather yourself do restore.

Not The One to Come Possessing Me

You,
From me...
Would like to disable,
All my fantasies!
But not one will you take,
Away from me.
Or eliminate desires from my heart to believe.

No You,
And I...
Are never gonna come to realize,
Eye to eye...
That love,
Is a capture that's free!
You're not the one to come to possess me!
Uh uh.

You...wish,
To be everything in life you think that I miss.
But you,
Show no interest or need...
To be the one to take,
And give to please!

No You,
And I...
Are never gonna come to realize,
Eye to eye...
That love,
Is a capture that's free!
You're not the one to come to possess me!
Uh uh.

Not the one to come,
Possessing me!
Uh uh.
You're not the one to come to possess me!
Uh uh.
Not the one to come,
Possessing me!
Uh uh.
You're not the one to come possessing me!

Be on your guard.

I do not think there'll ever be
A system that can guarantee
Absolute security.

Of data on the internet
Although it is certain bet.
This statement is bound to upset.

The expert firms prepared to claim
They have succeeded in their aim.
There's other players in the game.

Hackers working tirelessly
are sure in time to find the key
And intrude on our privacy.

Their motivations various.
Not of all of them nefarious
Some few are. merely curious

They have the capability
To circumvent security
And they intend to definitely

If you are wise then you will vet
All contacts on the internet
Cross checking is your safest bet.

Maintaining your security
Is your responsibility.
So when you check, check thoroughly.

Don't trust new friends too easily.
Don't share too much too readily.
Take security seriously.

I cannot tell you what to do
For in the end it's up to you.
To make quite sure their words are true..

Your long term friends can verify.
Your would be friends identity.
Reducing your uncertainty.

If they aren't known to your old friends.
You have to doubt what they intend.
so bring all contact to an end.

Better to be safe than sorry.
They may be hunters seeking quarry.
Close them down and do not worry.

They will quickly realise
That you do not believe their lies.
Which will not take them by surprise.

They try again with someone new.
Who is not quite as wise as you.
Some wide eyed trusting ingénue.

Who will accept them as friend.
Not realising they intend.
It is her cash they mean to spend.

But you are safe you've closed the door.
You're not the fool they took you for
You won't be bothered any more.

They search the net for easy prey
And find one almost every day.
They make certain that crime will pay.

Are These Not Our Choices?

we are sometimes
as human beings
as inferior beings

too smart
too sharp
too insolent

for our own good
for the good of others
for the good of community

the quick wit
the ready wit
the sharp tack

may be entertaining
may be a joy to behold
may be a blessing to friends
may be a blessing to us all

or is usually of good heart
or is relatively harmless
or is a minor inconvenience at worst

a minor discomfort
a minor difficulty
a minor annoyance

the clever
possessing intelligence
mental alertness

can be witty amusing
or disrespectful
impertinent abusive

but the shrewd
calculating
in business
other dealings

may bless aid us!
or fleece curse us!

the sharp minds
may perceive protect us
or cause sharp
stinging sensations
as they cut into our senses

the sharp minds
may cause mild
embarrassment
or even acute
shame humiliation

the choice may range
from creative witticism
to unpleasant criticism

a spoken or written
opinion expressed
may be right or wrong
may encourage
or point out find fault

considered judgment
assessment of qualities
is a moral obligation!

analysis
appreciation
uplifting praise
caring intentions

or censure
disapproval
disparagement
condem nation

which are your choices?

the smart asses
are less dangerous
than the con artists
and the stalkers

the insolent
may be disrespectful
in speech or behaviour
may be aggressive

but this is not wise!
in life it is not possible
to ever be too wise!

we do not see
we do not perceive enough
know enough

to always fully realize
the consequences of our choices

we are never wise enough
for the deceptive shadows of this world

we can never be too wise
sadly none of us are perceptive
enough wise enough often enough

but classic dumb ass
seems to be
always a dime a dozen!

Intention

Important intention
Intention important.
I intend to work for you
You banyan tree intend to
Provide shade.
Everybody here get
Tranguility peace perfection.

Intention important
Important intention.
I relinguish all
All fruits all hopes
All desires
And intend to remain
With you all day long.

The Constancy Of A Noble Purpose

how must i tell you again
it is not the intelligence but the
constancy of purpose
at first and then
you either do not listen when you
heard me clear or
you simply cannot accept it and
change
you believe always on intelligence
and so i watch you risk everything upon it
trying to explain every grain of sand
and there too many of them
and they invade your intelligence and
they bury it
then
finally killing you
suffocating you because the sands in their
constancy of purpose
never believe what intelligence
preaches and
bragged.

Can life be a blessing

Can life be a blessing,
Or worth the possessing,
Can life be a blessing if love were away?
Ah no! though our love all night keep us waking,
And though he torment us with cares all the day,
Yet he sweetens, he sweetens our pains in the taking,
There's an hour at the last, there's an hour to repay.

In ev'ry possessing,
The ravishing blessing,
In ev'ry possessing the fruit of our pain,
Poor lovers forget long ages of anguish,
Whate'er they have suffer'd and done to obtain;
'Tis a pleasure, a pleasure to sigh and to languish,
When we hope, when we hope to be happy again.
