Idleness among children, as among men, is the root of all evil, and leads to no other evil more certain than ill temper.

In terms of the idea of long-term occupation - I have been reading a little bit more about this period - and you can see in that occupation are many lessons for the current occupation of Iraq. So we have these connections that go way back that people aren't aware of.

Remember This Lack of Conscience - 'For Maya Angelou'.
When time goes past and dithers not
One sees the blame that gathers moss
To feel akin with woe as one
I'll forgive myself and you to soldier on
Remember this lack of conscience when we meet
I was violated, raped and beaten within to provide a treat
Remember this lack of conscience when I get out
To see through with vision all I espy
Remember this lack of conscience which will know no bounds
To hideously transform love profound
Remember this lack of conscience when I am free
You will lose and you know me
Remember this lack conscience less you forget
That freedom is precious and not a threat
Remember this lack of conscience when the bars are bent
I will slip out into the depths of crass to vent
Remember this lack of conscience to come
The Devil has a new spawn and drum
Remember this lack of conscience gathering
To prove nothing but give a battering
Remember this lack of conscience wild
It has no remorse just like a child
Remember this lack of conscience like the Hawk
Which draws blood, looks on and gawks
Remember this lack of conscience with the Demon within
It's a Golem to clear the the Evil and get even
Remember this lack of conscience when you renege
The death of love can be ones grave
Remember this lack of conscience and tremor not
No fruit you bear or shall ever to care
Remember this lack of conscience that prevails
The trial is over and you have failed
Remember this lack of conscience and grow
To a woman that a man can know
Remember this lack of conscience that forgave
and now with Love sends you away
For Maya Angelou - ' Remember This Lack of Conscience'.

Far from idleness being the root of all evil, it is rather the only true good.

Evil Fantasies
We turn and face each other / my fingers pull your hair
You wince and jerk my wrist off / I bite my lip and stare
Your stance at once defiant / Im rigid to your pose
You clench your teeth in anger / my loving swells and grows
You give me evil fantasies
I wanna get inside your mind
Come on and live my fantasies
Ill show you evil you cant hide
Youre dragged into my vision / trapped, serving to my need
Maybe imagination / is where my dark side feeds
You slide your nails down in me / I raise my structure high
You pout, I snarl, you whimper / and wave compassion by
You give me evil fantasies
I wanna get inside your mind
Come on and live my fantasies
Ill show you evil you cant hide
Gonna take you, gotta get through
Gonna make you, do what I want
Youre dragged into my vision / trapped, serving to my need
Maybe imagination / is where my dark side feeds

Feeling the rath of Evil
Feeling Evil
Evil on a night like this
Evil tasting like a twisted wish
Evil paralized upon the ground
Evil tates the tears of fear
Evil tainted sounds of cheer
Evil dripping down; your blood of hate
Evil tearing down your helpless fate
Evil swears that by the night's end
Evil won't say it was all pretend
Evil because Death will follow you
Evil until full content
Evil pleasured to full extent

Poe's Theory of Man
When you look at a person
You judge them immediately
But what none see
The evil inside everyone
Lays deep or sits on the surface
Either way
Nobody can hide the evil within
It's dark and horrible
Lying and cheating you all the time
Eats you from the inside out
Slowly amd painfully
Every pain builds up the evil
Feeding it and it never shrinks
Until it's big enough
Then it pops out and hurts those around
The evil
The love from Satan
The love of us humans
God's lack of love for us
Both combined lies inside us
Only some realize it
But no one does anything

It has been said that idleness is the parent of mischief, which is very true; but mischief itself is merely an attempt to escape from the dreary vacuum of idleness.

Be with minimum anxiety
If you tend to achieve much in less time,
If you tend to expect high from low,
And if you tend to reach through short cut,
You buy your anxiety against your health.

Beautiful Occupation
Don't just stand there watching it happening
I can't stand it don't feel it
Something telling me
Don't wanna go out this way
Have a nice day
Read it in the headlines
Watch it on the tv
Put it in the background
Stick it in the back
Stick it in the back
For the beautiful occupation
The beautiful occupation
Don't need an invitation
To drop in upon a nation
Up to city come
I'm just sittin here
I'm just wastin my time
Half a million civilians gonna die today
They looked the wrong way
Read it in the headlines
Watch it on the tv
Put it in the background
Stick it in the back
Stick it in the back
For the beautiful occupation
The beautiful occupation
you don't need an invitation
to drop in upon a nation
Don't just stand there watching it happening
I can't stand it dont feel it
Something telling me
Dont wanna go out this way
Have a nice day
Read it in the headlines
Watch it on the tv
Put it in the background
Stick it in the back
Stick it in the back
For the beautiful occupation
The beautiful occupation
You don't need an invitation
To drop in upon a nation
For the beautiful occupation
The beautiful occupation
So much for an intervention
Don't call the united nations

Bible in Poetry: James 1
1A servant of God and of Christ,
Greetings from James to the twelve tribes
Scattered among the world’s nations:
Trials and Temptations:
2 You consider it as pure joy,
Whenever you face many trials,
3 Because you know by testing faith
You develop perseverance.
4 By perseverance you’re mature
Your work becomes complete and whole;
And does not lack in anything.
5 If you lack wisdom, ask of God,
Who gives to all generously,
And without finding fault with you.
6 But when God asks, you must believe,
And not have doubt, for the doubter
Is like a wave upon the sea,
That’s blown and tossed across by wind.
7 A man with doubts shouldn’t think he will
Receive a thing from the Lord God;
8 He is a double-minded man,
Unstable in all that he does.
9 In humble circumstances then,
The brother ought to be quite proud,
In his high position God-given.
10 The one who’s rich should take pride in
His low position, for he’ll pass
Away like wild a flower then.
11 For, sun rises with scorching heat,
Withers the plant; its blossom falls
Its beauty is destroyed fully.
Similarly, the rich man fades,
Ev’n while he does his business.
12 Bless’d is the man who perseveres
In face of trials, and stood test;
He will receive the crown of life,
That God will give those who love Him.
13 When tempted, none should ever say,
'God is tempting me so often.'
For, God isn’t tempted by evil,
Nor does He tempt ev’r anyone;
14 But everyone is tempted by
His evil desires of own;
He’s dragged away and too enticed.
15 And when desire has conceived,
It gives birth to sin and more sin;
When fully grown, it leads to death.
16 Don't be deceived, my dear brothers.
17 Each good and perfect gift’s from God,
And comes from Father in heaven,
Who does not change like shadows cast.
18 He chose to give us birth by truth,
That we may be first fruits, He made.
Listening and Doing:
19 Take note of this, my dear brothers:
Each one should be quick to listen,
Slow to speak and slow to anger,
20 For man's anger doesn’t bring about
The righteous life that God desires.
21 Get rid of moral filth, evil
That’s prevalent in abundance,
And humbly accept planted word
Of God in you, which can save you.
22 Don’t merely listen to the word,
And get deceived, Do what it says.
23 For he who listens to the word,
But does not do whatev’r it says,
Is like a man who sees his face
In a mirror, all but in vain,
24 And, after looking at himself,
He goes away and soon forgets
What he looks like immediately.
25 The man who looks intently then,
Into the perfect law that gives
Freedom, and continues with this,
Not forgetting what he has heard,
But doing it—he will be blessed
In what he does, at anytime.
26 If you think you are religious,
And do not hold your tongue in rein,
You deceive yourself in your life
And worthless is your religion.
27 The religion that God accepts
As pure and faultless is just this:
To tend to orphans and widows
In distress and keep oneself from
Being polluted by the world.

Dr. Evil
Evil, evil is his one and only name
Evil, in his mind there is no other game!
When your name is Evil, that is good or so you think,
but you're so very wrong.
It's evil!
But being wrong is right, so then you're good again,
wich is the evilest thing of all...
Do you find his sudden ways, invite you? does he excite you?
If his contradictions should atract you, should he distract you?
Heaven help you then...
You're finished, it's the end...
There'll be no retrieval...
From the evil...
The evil,
he will
do.
He's evil,
he's Doctor Evil.
His name is Evil.

What gets me upset about with the newer players is their lack of intensity. They tend to go through the motions a little bit. They don't understand that you've got to practice the way you play.
Sometimes I Feel so Evil
Sometimes I feel so evil
going crazy
ready to kill people.
I laugh
ready to go to the store
buy a gat.
Watch it go blast blast blast
Now watch your past
flash before your eyes
and who knew this would be the way you die.
But I won't be sad
Feeling so evil is the best thing I've ever had.
Ready to grab a gun and shoot your dad.
He hatted me anyway don't get mad.
This relationship is over I found a new wife
Its evil and a knife
Into your back, slice slice slice
You deserved it, you gave me lice
and told me lies.
You don't know how many times I've cried.
But evil will put a ring on my finger
all around me, you can smell, it's a clinger,
and it always lingers, the feeling
the presence even when I'm gone.
You remember what you felt the
evil will drive you insane. Your brain will melt.
Start whippin your kids with belt, leavin welts,
all up and down there back, the evil passes
and they attack. Now they hate you,
they say 'a father I lack'. Letting go getting fat
off sugary snacks. But its okay cause the
evil will pass.
The evil I wish it would last.
