Swag Bag
Dubiously earned, carefully packed
Loads and loads of greenbacks
Poor people won't understand
No rough diamond, he skips across the pond
Charged to shore up this institution
Lettered in his contract is his saviour..his absolution
Laughing all the way from the bank
His golden handshake with our thanks
Lesser mortals look up to him
And work out how to commit their own sin.

The Ants
What wonder strikes the curious, while he views
The black ant's city, by a rotten tree,
Or woodland bank! In ignorance we muse:
Pausing, annoyed,--we know not what we see,
Such government and thought there seem to be;
Some looking on, and urging some to toil,
Dragging their loads of bent-stalks slavishly:
And what's more wonderful, when big loads foil
One ant or two to carry, quickly then
A swarm flock round to help their fellow-men.
Surely they speak a language whisperingly,
Too fine for us to hear; and sure their ways
Prove they have kings and laws, and that they be
Deformed remnants of the Fairy-days.

Just The Beginning
I can walk on fire, it ain't stoppin' me
It's just showin' me the way
Come thunder, lightning all over me
I'd still be on my way
You can put me through loads of trouble
But in anyway
It's just the beginnin' and not the end
No use in pretendin' cause you can't win
It's just the beginnin', the beginnin'
Not the end
It's not a stange behavior, it's the way I am
Nothin' puts me down
And if a situation would get out of hand
I'd still be back around
You can put me through loads of trouble
But never bring me down
It's just the beginnin' and not the end...
I can walk on fire, it ain't stoppin' me...
You can put me through loads of trouble
But in any way
It's just the beginnin'
It's just the beginnin'
It's just the beginnin'
It's just the beginnin'
It's just the beginnin', and not the end

Everything Counts
The handshake
Seals a contract
From the contract
There's no turning back
The turning point
Of a career
In Korea being insincere
The holiday
Was fun packed
The contract:
Still intact
The grabbing hands
Grab all they can
All for themselves
After all
It's a competitive world
Everything counts in large amounts
The graph
On the wall
Tells the story
Of it all
Picture it now
See just how
The lies and deceit gained a little more power
Confidence taken in
By a sun tan
And a grin
The grabbing hands
Grab all they can
All for themselves
After all
It's a competitive world
Everything counts in large amounts
The grabbing hands
Grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts

Christmas Zen #2
pickup loads of wood,
stray dog running beside the tracks...
young girl hauling a baby,
old coat pulled across her face.
somebody somewhere is crying,
the hands on the clock slowly crawl,
... bare Christmas trees in a parking lot.
& already a line at the soup kitchen,
the sound of bells, water dripping from a spicket...
old man in coveralls, selling...
pickup loads of wood.

Unearth Rough Diamond
Sight rough diamond
still dirt embedded
in clinging dust debris
of parent prison earth.
Chance salient rays
of probe light shining
show carrot promise
lying locked therein.
When prominent washed
diamond is grasped held
in affirmed gem revealing
white introspective light.
But rough diamond
while fate unearthed
was never cut hidden
missing morning light.
Predetermined
a jeweled
alluring
counterpoise.
Set off twist filigree golden
as amulet eye orb disc light
commanding introspection
a sphere of enlightenment.
Diamond in the rough
awaits future incarnations.

I Hurt
For as long as I can remember.
Right from the beginning,
from the very start.
All I ever knew was hurt.
Life has dealt a rough hand.
On my own I try to understand.
Its my feet that do not stand.
For my soul has grown weak.
And the hurt I do not speak.
My heart has loads of secrets.
My eyes tell the pain.
My soul is ugly.
And my mind is lost.
Im forever searching.
For the way to be me.
And long for that day to be free.

Your Vision Is About To Be Broadened Soon
Most have decided to following those signs,
Pointing East.
Several with loads stacked and packed on their backs,
And collectively infighting...
As they follow dusted tracks that head West,
Towards the darkening Sunset.
Hmmm...
They also seem to be protesting in unrest.
What messages did they not get?
'Did you get the message? '
Yes, of course.
'Then why care?
Finally we are approaching the onset of light.
And you want to stop to wonder why,
Conflicts we have left behind...
Find those still upset in confusing states of mind?
I was just curious.
'I understand.
There is nothing wrong with that.
But something tells me,
Your vision is about to be broadened soon.
With a forgetting aided by what comes next.'

Fact
The eyes of the witness
Look at her straight
In her eyes
There is no blinking
There is the silence of the
Majestic Pond
and then when asked
She raised her arm
Point her Finger
and said
' Yes, it is him! '
And then she elaborated
About the Truth
In exhaustive details
And then she stood up
And walked her way out
From the Witness stand of the Room
All her loads
Discarded.

Heart Cryzzz
If only u cud feel me,
U wud find me as yourself,
Shattered r d feelings,
Of dis heart datz rarely felt,
In these nights of darkness,
Love only love can bind us now,
I cannot force it,
It’s level falling down too low…
Broken is d thread of trust,
It’s soooo full of knots,
Solely I won’t blame u,
For equal r my faults,
My heart sinks at d crust,
Cuz u fail 2 pay heed,
Not a spying mentor,
But a caring pal I need….
If only u cud b one,
I have loads n loads 2 share,
My faith begin 2 loosen,
With yours jugdeful angry stare,
Plz cum for I need u,
I really need u by me side,
I know that I aint perfect,
But in my way..m right!

There's always a dinner to go to. There're always loads of people around. I was having fun working with my friends. For a while it all just kind of rolled together in a great way.
The Song Queen
She rules
The air waves
With beautiful voice
She who rules
The airwaves
With beautiful voice
Carves the cadence
Reflecting the effervescent
Views of beauty
Loads the cadence
That makes up beauty
She waves
A legendary appetite
For uploading
The punches, the loads
Of peaked beatific sandbags
In the exciting neighborhood of beauty
She goes
She comes
With superb entries
In the multicolored
Languages of the horizon
She covers
A lot
Of the territory of beauty
She
The immaculate
Song queen

Ch 01 Manner of Kings Story 20
I heard that an oppressor ruined the habitations of the subjects to fill the treasury of the sultan, unmindful of the maxim of philosophers, who have said: "Who offends God the most high to gain the heart of a created being, God will use that very being to bring on his destruction in the world."
Fire burning with wild rue will not
Cause a smoke like that of afflicted hearts.
The prince of all animals is the lion and the meanest of beasts the ass. Nevertheless sages agree that an ass who carries loads is better than a lion who destroys men.
The poor donkey though void of discernment
Is nevertheless esteemed when he carries a burden.
Oxen and asses who carry loads
Are superior to men oppressing mankind.
When the king had obtained information of some of the oppressor’s misdeeds and bad conduct, he had him put on the rack and slain by various tortures.
Thou wilt not obtain the approbation of the sultan
Unless thou seekest the goodwill of his subjects.
If thou desirest God to condone thy transgressions,
Do good to the people whom God has created.
One of the oppressed who passed near him said:
"Not everyone who possesses strength of arm and office
In the sultanate may with impunity plunder the people.
A hard bone may be made to pass down the throat
But it will tear the belly when it sticks in the navel."
I get quite lazy about cooking because when I come back from work it is the last thing I want to do, really is spend loads of time cooking.

My river bank
The water hit the bank
Like a wave upon a shore
Happiness just out of reach
Finding that is something you can’t teach
No one to talk to
No one to see
As you can tell just me
I sit alone on my river bank
No happy people passing by as I let out a gentle sigh
I realized I sit alone on my river bank
Unreal happiness in this unreal tournament they call life
I sit alone, isolated on my river bank
I shall always sit alone on my river bank
I will always be alone on this river bank
