Idea Of A Real Leader
Leadership is not an easy position
Many have the power but do not have the right ambition.
Somehow they fell into the job,
But no knowledge, strength or missing the right heart throb.
The real leader have to know how the work goes on,
Possibly went through all or many positions under the sun.
Must have an understanding what is possible
Not just ignore the worker & ask the impossible.
He/she must be strong but kind & flexible in that same time,
Understanding what can be done, not to get into grime.
Slow to anger or not at all with strong emotion,
Be able to see the other person's side,
Without falling into wrong conclusion.
Check yourself are you a mouse or a dictator?
Open your mind for more wisdom, be a good mentor,
That your people would love and ready to follow your lead,
Never be hated, ignored or feared for all your deed.

Dream
Oh my life
Is changing everyday
In every possible way
And Oh my dreams
It's never quiet as it seems
Never quiet as it seems
I know I've felt like this before
But now I'm feeling it even more
Because it came from you
And then I open up and see
The person falling here is me
A different way to be
La
I want more (impossible to ignore)
I want more (impossible to ignore)
And they'll come true (impossible not to do)
And they'll come true (impossible not to do)
And now I tell you openly
You have my heart so don't hurt me
You're what I couldn't find
A totally amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You're everything to me

Natural Selection for Friend Thad
I am a male an alpha plus.
My only purpose is to breed,
to sow the seeds of genius.
So that my offspring will succeed.
I am the leader of the pack.
No one is fit to take my place.
I have the wisdom which they lack.
I am the wolf who sets the pace.
We work together as a team
but I direct the strategy
I have the wit to plan and scheme
The other wolves defer to me.
That is the way it has to be
As long as I am best I’ll lead.
Some day some pup will challenge me
and hopefully he will succeed..
I am a male an alpha plus
but even alpha males grow old.
In nature it was ever thus
The leadership goes to the bold.
I’m not the wolf I used to be.
I’ve had my time now I must leave.
The pack goes on triumphantly
just as it should do I believe..
To lead the pack a privilege
that’s only open to a few.
Who have the strength and the knowledge
to rule the pack as they must do.
A pack that lacks strong leadership
will very quickly succumb to
lack of direction and hardship.
A leader must know what to do.
But also know he must give way.
To new leader in due course
He’s played the part he had to play
a law that nature will enforce.
Only the best is fit to lead
life is a struggle to survive.
Though a strong leader will succeed
ensuring that his pack will live.
Though leaders come and leaders go.
The pack remains an entity
Since time began it has been so
and will for ever seemingly.

Baby
You are the only one who gets me
Our time apart have taught me a lot
You don't care what people say
You know what you want and
I love you for you
You help fine real me
I'm afraid to take risks and not ready for change
When it comes to you and I never felt like this before
You are wonderful and strong person
I keep missing you every day and hiding from the truth
What happen if we are supposed to be together?
It takes me while to understand what I been missing.
I never had any guy go this far wanting me so much
I should have follow my heart and be with one I love
I admit this I want to be with you only
I am jealous whenever you date someone else because is not me
I wish I realized this sooner
I was wrong about you this whole time I am sorry
Baby

To Have Power Over Others
To have power over others is something one does not need
For tis only by good example that one can ever lead
And many with power over others their power they do abuse
And for those who abuse others there cannot be an excuse.
If you wish to be a leader some sort of form of power you crave
And what it takes to be a great leader is to be understanding kind and brave
But leaders with such qualities to say the least seem rare
To some very ordinary people they do favourably compare.
For to have power over others a good person does not desire
And many power hungry people are those we should not admire
Power over others and personal power are different from night and day
We all do need some personal power for to serve survival's way.
To have power over others is something one can do without
And on those who desire such powers one has to cast some doubt
They seem to be control freaks with darkness of the soul
The lives of other people they do need to control.

Travel Thru Time
We should fear fear itself as it was said wisely,
It is true that so many threats in this life can reach us freely.
However, we must develop an antidote with a strong faith,
Find unmovable strength to step through the sureness gate.
Resistance if futile as we all heard before,
We play out the law for each other
Relax, follow your feelings forevermore.
With resistance & opposing you just destroy your own system,
Be flexible, kind & understanding, then you'll never have any problem.
Judgement is a tricky thing, which can be misunderstood,
Just observe when you see what others do, bad or good,
Not just keep on gossiping & tell how they are
But learn and discard it or if it's good put it into your reservoir.
As the wise men suggest, travel thru time
Avoiding fear, resistance and judgement,
That's how you'll find constant betterment.
If you follow your feeling, but stand up for your deed,
That; s the reason you are here in time and space to proceed..

Wisdom
Wisdom is better than gold and,
Understanding is better than silver;
But he who is slow to anger is bether than a warrior!
Knowledge is better than bronze and,
It is like an invisible wall with a gate;
For i am in the innermost being to write this muse,
And you are intoxicated with the joy of my love.
I have the pleasant words to heal your bones but,
He who is slow to anger is better than a warrior!
And i will live all day and to love you.
Wheat, barley and love;
The head to the east and the legs to the west,
For a sound body needs a sound mind.
Wisdom lies with prudence and,
Wisdom is in the company of knowledge and intelligence!
But he who is quick-tempered acts foolishly.
A window to the north and the head to the south,
Of the merry heart that lights up the face;
But a wise man makes his father glad.

Falling Down
Today is just the same as any other day to me.
Walking wall to wall to pass the time, I picture what its like on the other side.
Because Im here on the inside of blue, without you.
Day in day out on and on ... Im missing you.
Nothing seems to work as well, my face in the mirror looks like hell. I think I need to see a doctor.
I watch the slow hand move line by line. I cant even think of the words that rhyme.
Day in day out on and on ... Im missing you.
Some days it feels, just like falling down.
Some days its easy, just like falling down.
Some days its real, just like falling down.
Some days its easy, just like falling down.
Day in day out on and on ... Im missing you

Girls It Aint Easy
(ronald dunbar / edith wayne)
Yeah, it aint easy
Girls it aint easy
To keep the man you love satisfied
It aint easy
Girls it aint easy
To keep the one you love by your side
A womans work is never done
Never stops, it goes on and on
You work your fingers to the bone
You gotta be home every time he phones
Sometimes the going gets a little tough
Seems like my best aint good enough
Keeps you losing sleep
Seven days a week, yeah
It aint easy
Girls it aint easy
To keep the man you love satisfied
It aint easy
Girls it aint easy
To keep the one you love by your side
To keep him happy
You must sacrifice
Be ready and willing
To spend lonely nights
Do what you can
Though he seems ungrateful
Love him so true
Even though he seems unfaithful
But when his hope is gone
And life gets him down
Thats when hell say
He needs you around
Hard to live with him
Hard to live without him
It aint easy, no
Oh, yeah, it aint easy
Girls it aint easy
It aint easy
Girls it aint easy
You got to favour him with understanding
When understanding is what he needs
We try hard to give them respect
All that we get is their regret
But when theyre in trouble
They need our love and care
No matter when we gotta be right there
In between the crying
Gotta keep trying
It aint easy
Girls it aint easy, ooh, ooh, ooh
It aint easy
Girls it aint easy
It aint easy
Girls it aint easy, yeah, ooh
It aint easy
Girls it aint easy, no

Understanding and Knowledge
Those who know don’t talk;
Those who talk don’t know;
Those who speak don’t write;
Those who write don’t speak.
Those who think don’t actions;
Those who actions don’t think;
Those who think don’t judge;
Those who judge don’t do.
Small understanding is no match for great understanding;
Small knowledge cannot understand great knowledge knows.
Great wisdom has great understanding;
Great knowledge has wise sayings.
Great knowledge and understanding is wide and vast;
Small knowledge and understanding is trivial and cramped.
Great speech blaze forth as a huge fire;
Small speech is empty and trivial.
We understand what is appropriate;
Because of what we understand to be inappropriate.
We understand right;
Because of our understanding of wrong.
Use the light of wisdom to see,
Beyond the world of right and wrong.
One can only really understand things,
By understanding one’s true self.

Screamin?out their words
To a world full of people
Just livin?to be heard
Future generations
Ridinon the highways that we built
I hope, that they have better understanding

Goin to work on monday

You cant tell your best buddy
That you love him
So check it out
Where does our time go
Check it out
Got a brand new house in escrow

This is all, we have learned
About happiness
Check it out,
Forgot to say hello to my neighbours
Check it out
Sometimes i question my own behavior

Talkin?about the girls, weve
Seen on the sly
Just to tell our souls
Were still the young lions
So check it out
Gettin?too drunk on saturdays
Check it out

On sundays

Soaring with the eagles all week long
And this is all, we have learned
About living
This is all, we have learned
About living
A million young poets
Screamin?out their words
Maybe someday
Those words will be heard
By future generations
Ridin?on the highways that we built
Maybe theyll have a better understanding
Check it out
Maybe theyll have a better understanding
Check it out
Maybe theyll have a better understanding
Check it out
Maybe theyll have a better understanding

Hope theyll have a better understanding

No Greater Lust
In those who desire to become leaders the ego is quite strong
And sad to say there is nothing worse than an ego that's gone wrong
Those who abuse their privilege of power are those with an ego out of control
For there is nothing darker than darkness of the soul
And no greater abuser than the abuser of power
In fear of the dictator the population cower
The only respect they have for him is respect out of fear
Of crimes against humanity of the power obsessed we do hear.
The one who does not desire great power is the lucky one indeed
The power to lead a happy life is all she or he does need
The most powerful person in the World to the Reaper's scythe must fall
For every life must end in death and that applies to all.
No greater lust than the lust for power and it does seem sad to say
That people often the wrong type vote into power on election day
'Tis said that all good leaders are compassionate and kind
But such people are very rare and very hard to find.

Wisdom and Understanding.
King Solomon, the wise one said,
Find wisdom, get understanding my beloved.
The more knowledge you pick up in time,
Receive more self confidence, takes you out of the grime.
Wisdom cannot be given, the laws of life has to be observed,
Sometimes on the hard way, but eventually it will be deserved,
As knowledge is power, eventually you see the reality
And you live your life in freedom, peace and dignity.
Keep on observing and learning everything on your way,
Be patient, never too proud, only humble, this I can say.
Eventually you will see the light,
And you will realize your power and might.
Which were always with you. that's your birth right.

Heart Of Poetry
The mystery of words wisdom of the heart to each
angelic form, the voice of emotion in verse.
The melody of heart speak in words that feels the
emotion to express the deepness of feeling in the mind.
Thoughts of words flow to the emotion to make meaning,
to the essence that moves, sensitivity inside emotion
through the words.
Intellect of mind with the knowledge of experience power of
wisdom transcend to composition to unlock the perfect will of
words justify hidden truth.
The magnificent power compose words gives roots
blossom to the garden of heart and bring fruits to the heart of men.
Love kind words are power to win oneself to transform the
beauty of inside emotion to one particular individual.
The poetry, words of wisdom comes from inner motives of
good heart that gives us privilege to express the hidden
beauty of thoughts inside mind to put it in words.
The power to dominate inside individual for beauty and
wonder purpose of life.

Where Has The Love Gone (Fire Island Mix)
[CHORUS:]
Where has the love gone
(Where's the love, where's the love?)
Where has the love gone
(Where's the love, where's the love?)
Where has the love gone
(Where's the love, where's the love?)
Where has the love gone
(Where's the love, where's the love?)
[1a:]
It's not easy taking all responsibilities
Think it's time that we should know
What we really need
If the love has gone then you don't want to stay
Then hey baby we can go our separate ways
Ohhh la la la la la
Ohhh la la la la la
[1b:]
I thought that love we had was
Oh so hard to break
But now I know that it was all give and no take
One sided love affair is
Oh no good to me
I'm a woman and I've got my vanity
[CHORUS:]
[2:]
You might assume like everything was going fine
When there was really something
Deep inside your mind
Let's set it down then maybe we can work it out
There's no need to raise our voices
Scream, or shout
Ohhh la la la la la
Ohhh la la la la la
[CHORUS:]
Ohhh la la la la la
Ohhh la la la la la
[BRIDGE:]
I've come to terms about the way you really feel
I know the love we have is no longer real
[CHORUS:]
[x6:]
A love so strong (a love so strong)
Where did it go wrong (where did it go wrong)
Where has the love gone, a love so strong
Where did it go
Where did the love go?
Oooh, oh oh oh oh
Where did the love go
Where did the love go

Love Will Come And Go
Love Will Come And Go
written by Vonda Shepard and David James with additional lyrics by Paul Gordon
Do you want me to read your mind?
Oh if I only could
I wonder if I'd find the same
Hopes I've been having
'Cause baby I came alive
When you caught my eye
I'm falling in love you see
And it's the kind of love
That makes me breathe
I would share all my secrets
I would tell you anything
You know I'd let you in darling
We could be so good together
I would give you the world
If only you would take it from me
Sometimes love comes quickly
Sometimes love comes slow
Let's not miss this moment...'cause
Love will come and go
I never thought I could feel
Such emotion in me
I'm not the kinda girl who falls in love so easily
It's all so clear to me now
Ain't no shadow of a doubt
Now I understand what this mystery is all about
I would be there for you baby
In a special kind of way
If I only had the say darling
We could be so good together
I would give you the world
Baby will you take it from me
Sometimes love comes quickly
Sometimes love comes slow
Let's not miss this moment...'cause
Love will come and go
Let's not miss this moment
Let's not take too long
I think we both know it
Our love would be that strong, be that strong, be that strong
I would be there for you baby
In a special kind of way
'Cause I love you darlin'
We could be so good together
I would give you the world
Baby will you take it from me

Memories
Always moving around your mind and heart.
There deed are so precious from beginning to end.
Several person felt there absence hurting them
it is like hard to forget and easy to recall.
and every one enjoy their presence in their heart,
but few among us do not enjoy this unique pleasure
they always felt loneliness and question in their mind why?
human kind may come, human kind may go..in time
this is a reality of life and nobody can run away.
Each one of go through this phase,
but best think we can do try to follow their good deed.
This is the only tribute to we offer to our loved and near and dear one.
Where will they go.......only memories left in your mind and heart.

God's Love Is Ours
God is always with us
He is forever there
Our Idol and our Mentor
Should we falter or despair.
He helps us when we're lonely
And no-one seems to care,
Without Him we would surely fail
And sink beyond repair.
But God's the One to give us strength
To cope each long day through
With love and understanding
He's our rock, so strong and true.
He sits in power and glory
Upon His throne on high
Waiting just to welcome us
To His Mansion in the sky.
