Writing is my ultimate ambition. I respect it above all. I didn't strive to be a performer. It's come so easily for me. In some ways I feel guilty about that. On the other hand, I enjoy it precisely because I'm not consumed by it.

If it's total freedom, I guess the ultimate thing you can go into is total silence between the audience and performer, with the performer projecting something he doesn't even have to play.

Guilty
Just tried to have fun raised hell and then some
I'm a dirt-talkin', beer drinkin', woman chasin' minister's son
Slap on the make-up and blast out the music
Wake up the neighbors with a roar like a teenage heavy metal elephant gun
If you call that guilty then that's what I am
I'm guilty
I'm guilty
I like driving too fast
Love going too far
It seems the law's on my ass every time I stick it out of the door
If you call that guilty then that's what I am
I'm guilty
I'm guilty
Bad boy on a summer night
When the heat makes me mean and I wanna fight
With my pedal to the metal
And I do what I want to do
Bad girls make me feel all right
When it's hot and they start screaming in the night
Golly gee, it's wrong to be so guilty
I'm guilty
Guilty
I'm guilty
My conscience is on vacation in acute degeneration
Willpower has sunk to all-time low
If you call that guilty well I guess I am
I'm guilty
I'm guilty
If you call that guilty then that's what I am
I'm guilty, I'm guilty, I'm guilty, I'm guilty
I'm guilty, I'm guilty, I'm guilty, I'm guilty
Well I'm guilty
Yeah I'm guilty
I don't care
I'm guilty
I think I've been framed anyway
They said I'm guilty
I'm guilty
They're guilty and everyone is guilty

Writing this is hard for me
Because writing this
Means that your gone
And your never coming back
You was my best friend
You was my ride or die
You was my brother
Even if we didn't come from the same mother
I loved you with all my heart
I would have died for you
I would have took a bullet for you
You was all ways there for me
Now that your gone
I feel like no one cares about me
I feel lost in darkness
But i know your watching over me
guiding me as i go
I love you bro
I would never for get
Rest, In, Peace i love you bro

One Who Pursues Gets Done What They Do
I choose and elect,
To do the best I can do.
Not that I believe I am the best,
At doing it.
But I like to think I am.
What would be the point to make,
If I didn't?
And why do people enter competitions?
Because they lack ambition?
I think not.
One who pursues gets done what they do!
I happen to enjoy being dragged through the mud.
And for someone with that kind of ambition...
Is not one subdued.
I suggest that as a prerequisite!
To get over any sensitivites,
Associated with a public affixed with critics.

Self respect is self love
Self respect provoke love for others
Self respect is GOD respect
Self respect is self norishing
Self respect is self control
Respect and love

Respect and join
Respect and rejoyce
Respect and cellebrate
Respect and enjoy
For the love of god is respect.

A Man Should Have Respect
A man should have respect
His case may not accord him that,
Nor his situation
Yet he must feel self worth.
A man must have respect
He may be poor
And destitute
But he is a child of God.
He is a spark of the Spirit
He is a wonder in himself
He is unique
The greatest of animals.
A man will have respect
Primordiality may refuse him it
But he will strive all he may
To clinch it still.

Foreman told Ray to plead guilty and he'd then give his brother $500, if Ray didn't cause any problems at the guilty plea hearing, and he could take that $500 and hire a lawyer to set aside the plea. Foreman actually put that in writing.

Till to be dethroned
I had an ambition for the throne.
I didn’t feel I was not worth it.
I didn’t mind getting it by crook.
I didn’t want to leave it at all.
Till I had been dethroned by men.

I Fear No Foe
In a certain land,
People smoke cigarettes like the goods-train!
But i fear no foe in writing out my mind;
And you have no respect being a smoker in another culture.
In a certain culture,
People sleep with a menstrual woman!
But in another culture it is a taboo,
And i fear no foe in writing out my mind.
This is how the world is,
For what you respect in your land is at times nothing to others;
But the earth goes round for us to enjoy the muse of life.

In Old Age/ A Sudden Afternoon Happiness
IN OLD AGE/ A SUDDEN AFTERNOON HAPPINESS
In old age
A sudden afternoon happiness
No one needs me to be anywhere-
There is nothing to be guilty about
For not doing anything.
In old age
I can pretend to be retired
To have done
What I can do
To rest and enjoy.
Yet as I write this down
I feel without writing it
The whole of this day
Wasted.

Come Take My Hand
Come with me
And use your fantasy
A secret galaxy
A nomansland
Come with me
Forget reality
Believe in destiny
Come take my hand
Enjoy your life
Feel the freedom of thoughts
Enjoy your life
Dreams will never be caught
Come take my hand
Walk through the rainbow and enjoy wonderland
I'll show you mysteries
Come take my hand
Don't be afraid to walk this way
To a glorious day
Every day
You'll find another way
Come let the wizard say
His magic words
Take the dance
And feel the great suspence
It will be so intense
But never hurts
Enjoy your life
Feel the freedom of thoughts
Enjoy your life
Dreams will never be caught
Come take my hand
Walk through the rainbow and enjoy wonderland
I'll show you mysteries
Come take my hand
Don't be afraid to walk this way
To a glorious day

Some Say
Some say that I am doomed and bound for hell
Since I commit the sin of doggerel
That I am guilty of the awful crime
Of tainting poetry's name in slipshod rhyme.
Some say I ought to hang my head in shame
Since I am one who sully poetry's name
And though with them I can't say I disagree
Still have they right to pass judgement on me?
Some say that I can never be a poet
Since doggerel is all I've ever wrote
But they tell me something I already know
As I've realized that many years ago.
Some say that I should put my pen away
But I hope that they will never see that day
For though in me I don't have poetic eye
The writing of doggerel verses I enjoy.
Some say that poetry is for those with brains
And not for one whose job is digging drains
And that poet should at least have literary degree
And graduate from university.
Some say that I am guilty of grave wrong
That I defile the name of verse and song
And that there's a place reserved for me in hell
As punishment for writing doggerel.

Didn't Mean To Turn You On
When I took you out
I knew what you were all about
But when I did
I didn't mean to turn you on
Now I bring you home
You tell me the night's not enough for you
I'm sorry, baby
I didn't mean to turn you on
Woah, baby, I didn't mean to turn you on
You read me wrong
I wasn't tryin' to lead you on
Not like you think
I didn't mean to turn you on
I know you
Expected a one-night-stand when I refused
I knew you wouldn't understand
I'm sorry, baby
I didn't mean to turn you on
I told you twice
I was only tryin' to be nice
Only tryin' to be nice
Oh, I didn't mean to turn you on
Hey, now why should I
Feel guilty 'cause I won't give
Guilty 'cause I won't give in
I didn't mean to turn you on
Woah, baby, I didn't mean to turn you on
When I took you out
I knew what you were all about
But when I did
I didn't mean to turn you on
Woah, baby, I didn't mean to turn you on

I Didn't Mean To Turn You
Let you take me out
I knew what you were all about
But when I did
I wasn't tryin' to lead you on
Now you bring me home
And tell me goodnight's
Not enough for you
I'm sorry baby
I didn't mean to turn you on
You read me wrong
I wasn't trying to lead you on
I want a friend
I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
I know you
Expected a one night stand
When I refused
I knew you wouldn't understand
Boy I told you twice
I was only tryin' to be nice
Only tryin' to be nice
Oh
I didn't mean to turn you on
Oh I didn't mean to turn you on
Turn you on
Tell me why should I
Feel guilty cause I won't give
Guilty cause I won't give in
I didn't mean to turn you on
[repeat chorus]
You think that I'm a fool
Cause I wouldn't play by your rules
(I didn't mean to turn you on)
You don't stand a chance
All I want to do is dance with you
(I didn't mean to turn you on)
I told you twice
I was only tryin' to be nice
(I didn't mean to turn you on)
I loved you for a friend
But I guess this is the
End of our relationship
Cause I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
Sorry.

Sheer madness
What are criteria to be called mad?
Is that one looks so gloomy and sad?
Looks so shabby and behaviour so bad
Frowning lines on face…………..
One way or other we fall in same category
Every body is after fame and glory
Different attitudes with simple story
Nothing to offer but only sorry
There is no end to our being crazy
Claiming credit despite being lazy
Going for all excuses and no regret
Novel ideas and impractical ways to suggest
Attempt to woo people for straight sympathy
Hard line approach with little apathy
Knowing not what will be the ultimate outcome?
Garnering support with praise and welcome
I know it may not help the cause
There may be serious setbacks because
It lacks sincerity, deep vision and sight
What is use of rift which causes uproar and fight?
Your lust and ambition should stop somewhere
You can’t poke your nose and fight everywhere
May be people resorting to unfair means and way
What makes you to take course in hand and have a say?
Many have tried easy way and perished
Beautiful palaces built but razed and demolished
Time and tide waits for none and play the part
What is use of presenting self clever and only smart?
We should not be driven mad and crazy
Everything must be taken in good spirit and easy
Right will always be right and wrong a wrong
Better to keep aside and concentrate for career long
Life and glory may have its destined time
We should strive for goal and object prime
It may not yield the result in near future
But it is ultimate destiny and kind of nature

Break, Recess: She Stayed Away
For need beyond comprehension
She takes and needs a recess that causes tension
In respect it’s accepted lest we contradict the sensation
“Not long”, she has stated; trust is taken by she by mention
“Beyond the break, think not”; aye there’ll be adhesion
Wish it was that easily done as said in satisfaction
Withdrawal is the policy; break is the regulation
Wonder is no longer mystery, mystery is insinuation
Science told me not to; withdrawal draws aggression
Respect, respect, hers I respect decision
Bearing the big flamy eye
All was kept from my sky
Never had I ever seen my conversation die
I in reality will keep off and never try
My mind whirled; and tumultuously yet easily like a pie
No caveat emptor so I never saw it nigh
I had to not accept, but this was by no means a lie
She needs exemption, from others and I
Why didn’t she see that I am free;
Now that ‘I met her’ I love in a spree?
Doesn’t she see how high, if love it is,
She has me on its tree?
Is morning a thought borne of a night;
Or will it without her now remain a decree?
Vowed she did, never will I her lose;
Does she with that still agree?
Wonder ceases not of whether from she,
This is dessert, main course or entrée

Guilty
Guilty, guilty
Guilty, I'm paralyzed with guilt
It runs through me like a rain through silk
Guilty, my mind won't leave me alone
My teeth are rotted
my lips start to foam
Cause I'm so guilty
Guilty, guilty
Ooohhh guilty
What did I say
What did I say
What did I do
Did I ever do it to you
Don't turn your back, ah
I can't look you in the eye, ah
Eye eye eye eye
I guess I'm guilty as charged
I guess I'm guilty as charged
Guilty, huh, guilty ah, guilty ah, guilty
Guilty guilty guilty guilty guilty
Don't do that
Don't do that
Don't do what
Oh you're such a child
real fool child
Guilty
What can I do
I do it to you
but I do it to me too
Cut off my head
Cut off my head
Cut off my head, ah
Hang me from the yardarm
Guilty, I'm paralyzed with guilt
I've got bad thoughts
I've got an evil clit
Guilty
Guilty, my mind won't leave me alone
I've got a bad mind
I've got a bad bone
Guilty guilty guilty as charged
Guilty
Don't do that
Don't do what
Don't do that
Oh you're such a reckless child
You remember when you were a baby
Do you remember when you were a baby
Do you have a jury, yeah
Do you have a verdict
Guilty as charged
Guilty guilty guilty as charged
Do you have a verdict
Do you have a verdict
I'm guilty
You're guilty
Oh you're such a reckless child
I should beat you
I should hit you
I'll put you in therapy, ah
