Roy was just another bureaucrat to me, but I realized very soon that without Roy this thing would have died.

Romance Of A Bureaucrat
Change is life, though he loves status quo
Unwilling perhaps yet he accepts to bow
Before the authority's command for change
Coward in him fails to face powers' challange.
Inaction n indecision are inherent qualities
Practiced by bureaucrat by grace of almighty.
In romance he indulges with schemes n reforms
Loyalty n sincerity, never he follows such norms.
Romance of bureaucrat blurs any vision
That incorporates plans n their implementation.
Mismanagement n misconception are the basics
That train n teach him treachrous tricks.
He romances too with guv policy's formulation
As also its' circulation n on it ample discussion.

Today I Realize
Today I realized that I could
care again.
Today I realized that I could
want someone again.
Today I realized that I could
miss someone.
Today I realized that I could
need someone again.
Today I realized that I could
never live without you.

The Day I Died
The air was close, but it would not rain
The day I died.
And smog enshrouded Gotham town
The day I died..
I should have stayed in Oceanside
The day I died.
Instead of a hellish subway ride
The day I died.
It started with a stabbing pain
The day I died.
Then waves of nausea deep inside
The day I died.
I fell to earth, I could not breathe
The day I died.
Co workers rushing to my side
The day I died.
Sirens scream on distant streets
The day I died.
bringing hosts of E.M.T.’s
The day I died..
Too late for me, this proud heart fails
The day I died.
I thought” This is the last of Earth”
The day I died.

Swimming, First Practice
I went really fast
I realized
Swimming is my sport
I realized
I just have
to work at
it
I realized
That's where I
belong
I'm not there
just
for friends
I'm there for the
sport
and the
pride
and
the competition
and the
element
of water
and
the fact that
It's part of
who I am

I Saw The Light
(wally bryson/eric carmen)
Good friends
Book ends
Solitaire for two
Till she was leaving
I never really knew
When I looked in her eyes
I saw the light
I realized all along it was her
When I looked in her eyes
I saw the light
I realized
Theres a knock on the door
Then youre home forever more
And now that youre here
There is nothing to fear
When I looked in her eyes
I saw the light
I realized all along it was her
When I looked in her eyes
I saw the light
I realized all along it was her.
When I looked in her eyes
I saw the light
I realized all along it was her

The Strange Design Of Conscience
Given the hopeless nature of our times
And how it would change things
And given the circumstances of our lives
You'd have done the same thing
You'd have done the same thing
You'd have done the same
So if we're talking about forgiveness
Well don't put me up above you
'Cause in the strange design of conscience
We are controlled by our desires that can never be realized
That can never be realilzed
That can never be real

When In High Office
If I can’t do a little thing that’s good,
Why should I work in offices high, then?
If I can’t see that all get enough food,
’Tis better to accept defeat: resign!
If I can’t ensure welfare of the mass,
Why should I decorate the high office?
If I allow my precious time to pass,
Ignoring workers’ conditions, ’tis vice!
The bureaucrat must get all works well done,
With heart of strictness mixed with compassion;
One need not keep everyone on the run,
Because it is the latest one fashion!
Let humaneness prevail in higher-ups;
Refrain from sharing bitterness in cups!
