You have to be able to enthral and persuade at the same time.

Once I could persuade these guys that all I wanted to hear from them was what they did - Tell me what you do - once you can persuade someone that this is all you're after, you can't shut them up because we're all fascinated by what we do.

Running on
Running on
But you, don't know what you're running from
Hiding on
But you, don't know what you're hiding from
It's amazing
You're acting so crazy
You're trying to persuade me
There's no escaping
Taking off in full drive
Afraid of the full ride
You're trying to persuade me
There's no escaping
Running on
But you, don't know what you're running from
Hiding on
But you, don't know what you're hiding from
On the move
Everyplace I try to talk to you
You don't know what to do
I really can't tell whats wrong with you
Every time you see my face
You act amazed
Stunned I'm still in this place
And haven't yet escaped
I don't know what what you're trying to do
I don't know if I should be running too
Away from who?
I need a clue
You won't give me answers
Just keep moving faster
From a huge disaster
That's trying to get after
you....and us others, too...
Running on
But you, don't know what you're running from
Hiding on
But you, don't know what you're hiding from
It's amazing
You're acting so crazy
You're trying to persuade me
There's no escaping
Taking off in full drive
Afraid of the full ride
You're trying to persuade me
There's no escaping
Running on
But you, don't know what you're running from
Hiding on
But you, don't know what you're hiding from
Keep running on
What are we running from?
When is our running done?
How long is this marathon?
Answers, why aren't telling me anything?
Pushing me
Saying 'There's no escaping'
So you keep..
Running on
But you, don't know what you're running from
Hiding on
But you, don't know what you're hiding from
It's amazing
You're acting so crazy
You're trying to persuade me
There's no escaping
Taking off in full drive
Afraid of the full ride
You're trying to persuade me
There's no escaping
Running on
But you, don't know what you're running from
Hiding on
But you, don't know what you're hiding from

Our aim is to persuade. We adopt the means of non-violence because our end is a community at peace with itself. We will try to persuade with our words, but if our words fail, we will try to persuade with our acts. We will always be willing to talk and seek fair compromise, but we are ready to suffer when necessary and even risk our lives to become witnesses to the truth as we see it. … But if physical death is the price that a man must pay to free his children and his white brethren from a permanent death of the spirit, then nothing could be more redemptive. This is the type of soul force that I am convinced will triumph over the physical force of the oppressor.

If you think aficionados of a living Constitution want to bring you flexibility, think again. You think the death penalty is a good idea? Persuade your fellow citizens to adopt it. You want a right to abortion? Persuade your fellow citizens and enact it. That's flexibility.

I Don't Have Time
For u，I don't have time
Even as u do not have for her
Nobody like to be alone
Although spring is not far away
For her, I don't have time
No matter what u try to persuade
It is three or four of us
For god's sake
It is neither a jeasous nor a fight
It is between us，more or less
U will sell your dream to me
Hey, I love the way u treat to me
Long distance in remote control
Short distance in close combat
How funny and lovely u are
I don't have time for u
She's Got Her Ticket
She's got her ticket
I think she gonna use it
I think she going to fly away
No one should try and stop her
Persuade her with their power
She says that her mind is made
Up
She's got her ticket
I think she gonna use it
I think she going to fly away
No one should try and stop her
Persuade her with their power
She says that her mind is made
Up
Why not leave
Why not go away
Too much hatred
Corruption and greed
Give your life
And invariably they leave you with nothing
Young girl ain't got no chances
No roots to keep her strong
She's shed all pretenses
That someday she'll belong
Some folks call her a runaway
A failure in the race
But she knows where her ticket takes her
She will find her place in the sun
Why not leave
Why not go away
Too much hatred
Corruption and greed
Give your life
And invariably they leave you with nothing
She's got her ticket
I think she gonna use it
I think she going to fly away
No one should try and stop her
Persuade her with their power
She says that her mind is made
Up
And she'll fly

Fog...like Love...
Hopefully, soon I’ll be
Wrapped… enshrouded
In the smoke of the sea
For tomorrow on the road I’ll be
Driving somewhat recklessly
In my haste… to see the sea
I want to feel the fog…
Caress the mist
Wrap damp blanket about me
Submerge myself, on a seaside shelf
And feel the grey fog…
Surround me
Close my eyes, tilt back my head
Let droplets form
Upon my brow
Erase from my mind
All trace of mankind
Immerse my self… in the now
And try to persuade
No not persuade!
But insist! !
That the Gods allow me
To become one
with the mist
Tonight I know, the fog will be
My friend, my solace
My sorrow
But alas, fog, like love…won’t stay
It will steal away
and be gone… come the morrow

Fading Sunset
In the scheme of scenes…a sunset is the most beautiful
Scattering rays of sunlight… intensifying glowing hues
Suspended in an atmosphere of minutes dispersing
Daylight hours come to an end…with a spectacular view
Praising the grand panorama … majestic colors transfuse
Red, orange, and fuchsia …ignite a dimming velvet sky
The calming sunset is a crescendo in an emotional tide
Shadows envelop blind recognition as embers slowly die
The loss of illumination induces a certain spark of sadness
The silenced strings of a symphony no longer enthral
Flickering candles glow providing an aura of consolation
Comfort pales with a whisper from an ascending spiral
Neither moon nor stars above can replace the thrill
All efforts to placate fail to duplicate the radiant blaze
Twilight weaves wakefulness into a numb blanket of sleep
Darkness lift as sunlight filters through a misty haze
Daybreak brings renewing light… inspiring the soul
An extension of hours that will eventually fade away
Each concluding day changes the aroma of the season
There is no way to persuade a single sunset to stay

Visions of Mars
Well talk about the other side
Oh it's not so pretty
Release a modest sigh
Always took it out on me
Let me persuade you now
This could be my chance to
Look up our alien friends
This would be the perfect time
And then you would be the only man
Who walked on Mars

Thy Beauty Fades
Thy beauty fades and with it too my love,
For 'twas the self-same stalk that bore its flower;
Soft fell the rain, and breaking from above
The sun looked out upon our nuptial hour;
And I had thought forever by thy side
With bursting buds of hope in youth to dwell,
But one by one Time strewed thy petals wide,
And every hope's wan look a grief can tell:
For I had thoughtless lived beneath his sway,
Who like a tyrant dealeth with us all,
Crowning each rose, though rooted on decay,
With charms that shall the spirit's love enthral,
And for a season turn the soul's pure eyes
From virtue's changeless bloom that time and death defies.

True Love II (Goodbye)
This might be the last time
I would have a chance to say goodbye to you
Because I’m going to leave you tomorrow
To persuade my dream of being the best for you
It’s really hard for me to let go of you
Because you are my everything
But for me to become the best
I must make some sacrifices
I thank you
For the wonderful memories we shared
All the sweetest moment’s we had
And I hope you can forgive me for being selfish
I just wish I could see you before I leave
I wish I could hug you one more time
I wish I could kiss your lips
For the last time
I hope you understand
I don’t want to leave you
But that’s life
We must take chances
And I promise you
That when I come back
You will not regret
The decision I made….

Blister
Kid, picked on, love, blinds him,
found, his own girlfriend.
Its all he could ask for.
He doesnt need,
his hands,
tied up,
to persuade, this kid,
Had got, it all, too good.
Bit, dust,
And, said I live for,
I live for you.
Trust, too much, this, is what, you,
get for this is just another lie,
just another liar.
He has his hands,
tied up,
to persuade, this kid,
had got, it all, too good.
Bit, dust,
and said, I live for.
I live for you.
Trust, bliss, date, faith, trust, hate, share it,
share it all with you.
I live for you

Wrinkles
For Naomi Lazard
Sometimes I can't wait until I look like Nadezhda Mandelstam.
-- Naomi Lazard
My friends are tired.
The ones who are married are tired
of being married.
The ones who are single are tired
of being single.
They look at their wrinkles.
The ones who are single attribute their wrinkles
to being single.
The ones who are married attribute their wrinkles
to being married.
They have very few wrinkles.
Even taken together,
they have very few wrinkles.
But I cannot persuade them
to look at their wrinkles
collectively.
& I cannot persuade them that being married
or being single
has nothing to do with wrinkles.
Each one sees a deep & bitter groove,
a San Andreas fault across her forehead.
"It is only a matter of time
before the earthquake."
They trade the names of plastic surgeons
like recipes.
My friends are tired.
The ones who have children are tired
of having children.
The ones who are childless are tired
of being childless.
They love their wrinkles.
If only their were deeper
they could hide.
Sometimes I think
(but do not dare to tell them)
that when the face is left alone to dig its grave,
the soul is grateful
& rolls in.

Spider-Man's Super Secret!
Now I'm in love what should I do,
Admit I'm Spider-Man?
Say I'm the guy in red and blue
And hope that she's a fan?
Or send boxed flowers wrapped in web,
No strings attached at all?
Or boast that I'm a great celeb
With wise-cracks that enthral?
Although it's cool to fly about,
My mask keeps me at bay...
And though my heart's so full of doubt,
I hope my feelings stay!
I see her smile, the world stands still...
She speaks and I go numb...
As if she stole my mind, my will
And I'm under her thumb!
I've got the strength of twenty men
Yet love makes me go weak!
Its power grows beyond my ken!
What makes her so unique?
To me, she is the only girl...
No other means so much!
I'm in her web! My heart's awhirl!
Love's so darned hard to budge!
To all the world I'm quite a catch -
All brave in red and blue...
Though Spider-Man is hard to match,
Should I say, 'I LOVE YOU! '?
If so, when is the moment right?
There's no escape from crime!
Love hurts just like a spider's bite!
Time after time after time...
