Armageddon Diaries (Number Three)
the root of ignorance is the
inability to see yourself...
to see yourself in others!
when we cross this bridge,
and dare to look, and to
understand, the symptoms
fall away!
prejudice, hatred, greed, pride..
all fall away! what we discover
is the sacred human, the kingdom
of heaven, nirvana...as simple
as changing a baby's diaper!
we learn to love, first by
loving ourselves, and then loving
others. we learn to forgive, by
forgiving ourselves, and thus, others!
what we have perceived as difference,
is only sameness! we who have searched
for god, find him/her in the face of
a neighbor...

Sonnet: Forgiveness
Revenge, if o’er-come by Forgiveness be,
What a wonderful world it turns truly!
Forgive your neighbor first and only then,
You expect God’s Forgiveness for Heaven.
Forgiving foes is not an easy task;
’Tis not like wearing for face, heart new mask;
Forgiving’s better than seeking revenge;
Learn this great wisdom and do not avenge.
The world we live in is imperfect, oh!
To injustice, we have to sometimes bow;
Taking revenge can’t solve all our matters;
Love, Forgiveness always never falters.
Love is thy weapon, O victimized man!
Forgive neighbors like Almighty, human!

Ain't That Lovin' You Baby
I could ride around the world in an old oxcart
And never let another girl thrill my heart
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you so?
I could meet a hundred girls and have loads of fun
My huggin' and my kissin' belong to just one
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you so?
If you gave me nine lives like a tommy cat
I'd give 'em all to you and never take one back
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you so?
I'm putting on my Sunday suit and Im goin' downtown
But Ill be kissin' your lips before the sun goes down
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you so?
Ain't that loving you baby?
Ain't that loving you so?

A Common Man's Prayer
I pray you to take me to that height,
From where fall is not possible,
But I know my worth,
Being a human being I am the victim of
All those infirmities which a comman man has,
Jealousy, prejudice, hatred, anger, and greed,
inhabit my mind,
I confess my sin yet I am not strong enough
To stay away from them,
O Lord, forgive my sin,
And help me attain that height of spiritual glory,
From where fall is not possible.

Need Your Loving Tonight
No I'll never look back in anger
No I'll never find me an answer
You promised me you'd keep in touch
I read your letter and it hurt me so much
I said I'd never never be angry with you
I don't wanna feel like a stranger no
Because I'd rather stay out of danger
I read your letter so many times
I got your meaning between the lines
I said I'd never never be angry with you
I must be strong so she won't know how much I miss her
I only hope as time goes on I'll forget her
My bodies aching can't sleep at night
I'm to exhausted to start a fight
And if I see her with another guy
I'll eat my heart out because I love her
Love her love her love her
Come on baby let's get together
I'll love you baby I'll love you forever
I'm trying hard to stay away
What made you change? What did I say?
Oooh I need your loving tonight
Oooh I need your loving
Oooh I need your loving
Oooh I need your loving babe tonight
Hit me
Oooh I need your loving tonight
No I'll never look back in anger
No I'll never find me an answer
Can't be no warning how could I guess?
I'll have to learn to forgive and forget
Oooh I need your loving
Oooh I need your loving
Oooh I need your loving tonight

I fall for you Autumn
I fall for you Autumn
from the red in your hair
to the cool breeze in your kisses.
I fall for you Autumn
from your ever changing moods.
To the way you harvest my love.
Autumn loving you is
like a feast of thanks.
I thank you for your touch
I thank you for your understanding.
Autumn you are the changing
season of my heart.
From sadness to joy.
And when it comes to loving someone;
I fall for you Autumn.

Baby I Need Your Loving
Baby, I need your loving
Baby, I need your loving
Although you're never near
Your voice I often hear
Another day, another night
I long to hold you tight
'cause I'm so lonely
Baby, I need your loving
Got to have all your loving
Baby, I need your loving
Got to have all your loving
Some say it's a sign of weakness
For a man to beg
Then weak I'd rather be
If it means having you to keep
'cause lately I've been losing sleep
Baby, I need your loving
Got to have all your loving
Baby, I need your loving
Got to have all your loving
Empty nights echo your name
Sometimes I wonder will I ever be the same?
Oh yeah!
When you see me smile
You know things have gotten worse
Any smile you might see, darling
Has all been rehearsed
Darling, I can't go on living without you
This emptiness won't let me live without you
Loneliness inside me, baby
Makes me feel half alive
Baby, I need your loving
Got to have all your loving
Baby, I need your loving
Got to have all your loving

Man's Rule
I have searched for love,
Only to find hatred.
I searched for acceptance,
Only to find prejudice.
I searched for peace,
Only to find war,
I searched for freedom,
Only to be sentenced,
I looked for shelter,
But only found an open wintery sky.
I searched for water,
But nothing could quench my thirst.
The lord beckoned me,
From his throne on high.
They treated you with hatred,
But bath in my love.
They treated you with prejudice,
But my son I accept you.
They brought you war,
But I shall give you peace.
They imprisoned you,
But I shall give you freedom.
You slept under an open wintery sky,
But here shelter in my paradise.
They did not quench your thirst,
But I shall let you drink from my own cup.

Forgiveness
Forgiveness is an act that works through God;
Forgiveness is an act of God in man;
Forgiveness is the work of God’s great love;
Forgiveness is an art that man must learn!
Men with good sense will restrain their anger;
Such men defer their anger for long times;
To forgive transgressions is man’s glory;
To hold one’s tongue is done by people smart.
Forgiving is an act almost divine;
Forgiving is something not all can do;
Forgiving someone is too tough at times;
Forgiving fully is done by just few!
To preach is easy; forgiving is tough;
Forgiving is an honor of men wise;
If God should forgive us, we must forgive;
Like God, we must be slow to anger too.
‘Forgive those who sin against us, ’ tells Christ;
To gain God’s forgiveness, we must then, first;
There is no limit to forgive someone;
Forgiveness is a virtue Jesus taught.
One who forgives has no revenge in heart;
One who forgives has no hate from the start;
‘Forgive and God will forgive you, ’ says Lord.
Forgiving plants the seed of love of God.
When all are sinners, forgiveness is prime;
By doing so, we gain the love of God;
Through forgiveness, our tolerance will grow;
For prayers to be heard, forgive right now!
A man with grudge is like a fruitless tree!
Grudge can stand in-between you and heaven!
Spare no occasion of forgiving men;
Judge not others but show mercy on them!
We turn like God when we forgive others;
Forgiving earns more souls for God, brothers!

Baby It Cant Fall
Pop/bowie
You have loved me with energy
Backed up with hard work and guts
We inhabit eternity
We fly forever in space
The way we run together
The way we breeze the miles
We put our heads together
And laughingly we smile
It cant fall
It cant fall
Baby, it cant fall
Death means nothing at all
It cant fall
It cant fall
Baby, it cant fall
Our love will outlive this earth
Words have so many meanings
Sometimes mean nothing at all
Sometimes I feel so simple
I dont know whats coming next
We have swum in the ocean
And that was really alright
Im not a big man
Its hard to face the world
It cant fall
It cant fall
Baby, it cant fall
That would nail me to the wall
It cant fall
It cant fall
Baby it cant fall
Our love will outlive this earth
It cant fall

It's Neither Nor Or The Either
While you're loving me
Why don't you take your time,
While you're loving me.
Take your time to blow my mind,
While you're loving me.
I'm in the middle of a season...
When the leaves,
Begin to fall.
While you're loving me.
Why don't you take your time,
While you're loving me.
Take your time to blow my mind,
While you're loving me.
Let's turn this rhyme into a reason,
Both of us found each other to please.
You know I'm prime for the keeping,
Of what is good...
Close to me.
Why don't you take your time,
While you're loving me.
Take your time to blow my mind,
While you're loving me.
I'm in the middle of a season...
When the leaves,
Begin to fall.
Let's turn this rhyme into a reason,
Both of us found each other to please.
Why don't you take your time,
While you're loving me.
Take your time to blow my mind,
While you're loving me.
It's neither nor or the either...
You've got exactly what my hunger needs.
It's neither nor or the either...
You've got exactly what my hunger needs.
Take your time,
While you're loving me.
So baby
Take your time,
While you're loving me.
It's neither nor or the either...
You've got exactly what my hunger needs.
So baby take your time time.
While you're loving me.
So baby take your time time.
While you're loving me.
So baby take your time time.
While you're loving me.
So baby take your time time.
While you're loving me.
It's neither nor or the either...
So baby take your time,
Loving me.
It's neither nor or the either...
You have come here to rescue.
It's neither nor or the either...
You are the one to set my heart at ease.

Out Of Love
Paint me a picture of two lovers, show me the lovers torn apart
You made me fall in love with you, the dance of lovers takes two
Somehow the music stopped, and so did our love
I tried to put the pieces together, and I got a grip on my life
They say theres one born every minute who has all for a lifetime
What good is a lifetime if I cant be with you
Chorus:
I just wanna hold you, just wanna touch you, just let me love you
When I see your face, my heart cries out for you
I guess that fools never learn how to fall out of love
I do admit I really miss you, there are some things time cannot change
And I would be a liar baby, if I told you I didnt care
cos it makes a difference, baby when youre not there
Chorus
I just wanna hold you, just wanna touch you, just let me love you
When I see your face, my heart, my heart goes crazy baby
Its whats calling your name
I just wanna hold you, just wanna touch you, I just wanna hold you
When I see your face, my heart cries out for you
I guess that fools never learn how to fall out of love

Love No Limit
[verse 1]
Baby, there's no need to tell ya
As far as I can clearly recall
My love has been here for you
So you don't have to worry at all
I'll sacrifice my time
I'll make sure you're satisfied
And it's no hard thing to the joy I bring
I wanna give you all my love
[chorus]
Loving you
(that's all I wanna do)
Every day
(and every hour, baby)
Dont you look no more
Love without a limit
(my love is yours)
Loving you
(that's all I wanna do)
Every day
(and every minute, every hour, baby)
Don't you look no more
Love without a limit
(my love is yours)
[verse 2]
Baby, I'm in need of your love
And you got that touch
That I need so much
And I am about to explode
Freely, completely, everything you want I'll be
Good love down to the last drop
And I'm not gonna stop
[chorus]
[bridge]
Loving you, is all I wanna do
Loving you, is all I wanna do
Loving you, said loving you
Is all that I, all that I wanna do
Baby, baby, baby, hey

I'll Be Loving You
Yeah
I'm not that kind of guy who can take a broken heart
So don't ever leave
I don't want to see us part
The very thought of losing you means
That everything
Would go down under
Chorus:
I'll be loving you forever
Just as long as you want me to be
I'll be loving you forever
All this love's for you and me, yeah
(I'll be loving you)
I'll be
(I'll be loving you)
Loving you
(The things you do)
Yeah, it's forever
(I'll be loving you)
I'll be
(I'll be loving you)
Loving you, yeah
I count the blessings that keep our love new
There's one for me
And a million for you
There's just so much that I want to say
But when I look at you
All my thoughts get in the way
Chorus
We've learned to fall to every turn by now
This love will last forever
I can see it all now
(I'll be loving you)
I'll be
(I'll be loving you)
Loving you
(The things you do)
Yeah, it's forever
(I'll be loving you)
I'll be
(I'll be loving you)
Loving only you, girl
Oh girl
I'll be loving only you
(I'll be loving you)

Learn How To Fall
Words & music by paul simon
You got to learn how to fall
Before you learn to fly
And mama, mama it aint no lie
Before you learn to fly
Learn how to fall
You got to drift in the breeze
Before you set your sails
Its an occupation where the wind prevails
Before you set your sails
Drift in the breeze
Oh and its the same old story
Ever since the world began
Everybody got the runs for glory
Nobody stop and scrutinize the plan
Nobody stop and scrutinize the plan
You got to learn how to fall
Before you learn to fly
The tank towns they tell no lie
Before you learn to fly
Learn how to fall

you put yourself in stupid places

situations where it's easy to look down on you
I think you like the be the victim
i think you like to be in pain
i think you make yourself the victim
almost every single day
you do what you do
you say what you say
you try to be everything to everyone
you know all the right people
you play all the right games
you always try to be
everything to everyone
yeah you do it again
you always do it again
you say they taught you how to read and write
they taught you how to count
i say they taught you how to buy and sell
your own body by the pound
i think you like to be their simple toy
i think you love to play the clown
i think you are blind to the fact
that the hand you hold
is the hand that holds you down
chorus
spin around and fall down
do it again
you stumble and you fall
yeah why won't you ever learn

One More Time
Tell me one more time as I hold your hand, that you dont love me
Tell me one more time as teardrops start to fall
Shout it to me and Ill shout it to the skies above me
That there was nothing after all
Baby, baby, tell me that you never wanted my loving
Baby, baby, tell me that you never, tell me, tell me,
One more time, one more time, say youre leaving, say goodbye
One more time, one more time, say youre leaving, say goodbye
Tell me one more time that we never had a thing in common
Tell me one more time as you turn and face the wall
Tell me I should know you were never my kind of woman
Tell me we were fools to fall
Baby, baby, tell me that you never wanted my loving
Baby, baby, tell me that you never, tell me, tell me,
One more time, one more time, say youre leaving, say goodbye
One more time, one more time, say youre leaving, say goodbye
Tell me one more time your tears are only sad confusion
Tell me its just been so long and that is all
Tell me one more time that love was only my illusion
You never answered to my call
Baby, baby, tell me that you never wanted my loving
Baby, baby, tell me that you never, tell me, tell me,
One more time, one more time, say youre leaving, say goodbye
One more time, one more time, say youre leaving, say goodbye
