Before Anyone Notices
Why is it you hold responsible,
Your birth, your perception of worth...
And the missteps you have taken,
On someone else to hold responsible?
It seems accountability today now means...
'Let me see what 'I' can get away with,
Before anyone notices,
My footprints have long been on the scene.'

Not Responsible
Now let me ask you something:
Have you ever felt that you weren't responsible for the things that you do?
When the girl that you are with is just too much
She is so out of sight, baby, that all you can say is:
Well, all right!
I'm not responsible, not responsible
For anything I do when I'm with you
I'm not responsible, it's impossible
To be so very near and not feel part of you
You've got such a hold on me
You make it seem so easy, but it's true, oh yeah
I get such a happy feeling
Knowing that you feel the same way too
Whoa..oa, baby, all right
I'm not responsible, not responsible
When you can make a man do what you want him to
I'm not responsible, it's impossible
To be so very near and not know what to do
You got such a hold on me
You make it seem so easy but it's true, oh yeah
I get such a happy feeling
Knowing that you feel the same way too
I get such a happy feeling
Knowing that you feel the same way too
Believe me baby, etc....

Our Level Of Responsibility!
our level of responsibility
far deeper than our occasional
stabs at compassion, and truth...
when we sit down to eat, and eat
far more than we need, and throw
the leftovers out... we are
responsible fot the hungry!
when we go to sleep at night, in
houses too big and too plush, we
are responsible for the homeless...
when we drive our SUV's around for
no reason at all, burning excess
gas, we are responsible for the
oil spills...
when we vote people in office,
whose agenda is profit at all costs,
we are responsible for countries
invaded...
when we turn our backs and walk away,
or stick our heads in the sand, we are
responsible for the loss of human rights...
when we allow the banning of books, and
legislation against free speech, we are
responsible for ignorance, and allow
ourselves to be enslaved!
responsible, every thought, every intent,
every action!

Scapegoats are all punished.
As much you are not responsible
for what you have done
as you are not responsible
for what you have not done.
The cause of action is not exclusive
in you but is in continuation
of the causes in inter action
and in intersection,
Which cannot hold you exclusive
for the reward and punishment
that the world will inflict upon you.
Yet, who cares?
The weak are the scapegoats.

Here Is A Four Dollar Bill
You want to hold me responsible,
For not agreeing to your mistakes made.
Or supporting your decision,
To pretend you were not aware...
You initiated them with an implementation?
Okay! I'll go along with your scheme,
To have you release from any accountability.
I will campaign to make that known.
But first, before I do that...
Here is a four dollar bill.
'? '
I'd like to have you make change for it.
And in return I'll accept only tens and twentys.

A Poem also About Duplicity
It would be unfortunate if the idea of multiple selves
obscured the fact the self is still
responsible for the terror it makes in the mind.
It would be a mistake if the multiple meanings
of words like torture disguised the fact
we are torturers, with lessened concern about it.
It would be tragic if the loss of multiple relationships
to the unconscious
obviated the possibility
of minding a more responsible life.
I say this as someone who minds
what insanity means, not what we are coming to think.
Imagination means so much;
so much depends on what's under.

Get Use To Being Tested
If one is not specific and precise.
Or makes attempts to be responsible,
With an accountability for their actions.
What influence do they expect to have,
On someone else...
Who has been taught to be 'upfront',
From birth?
Even a displaying of pretentions does not work,
When one is made to feel 'humbled'...
In these situations.
'Ma?
My teacher says I think I know so much.'
~Don't blame your teacher.
I had nothing to do with raising her.~
'He's a 'man'.'
~Well...
Get use to being tested.~

Sir Hugh Greene is the man I hold most responsible for the state of our country today. For 11 years hardly a week went by without a sniping reference to me. And he gave access to anyone who was prepared to say anything morally subversive.

Hold On To Your Dream
In life we have our pains and sorrows
Face mountains we think we can't climb
Nothing can there's always tomorrow
You feel like giving up, you say you're out of luck
But then you hear a voice in your mind
Telling you to
Hold on to your dream
Cause they're always worth having
Hold on to your dream
Like a father to his son
Don't let anyone ever steal your joy from you
Hold on to your dream
till the day that life is said and done
This world is filled peaks and valleys
With rivers we think we can't cross
To busy keeping sorrows telling
You say you're at you're in
You say you never win
But then a light comes on in your mind
Till you
Hold on to your dream
Cause they're always worth having
Hold on to your dream
Like a father to his son
Don't let anyone ever steal your joy from you
Hold on to your dream
Until the day that life is said and done
If you wanna hold on to something
You better hold on to your dreams
If you want to hold on to something
You've gotta hold to your love
To your love
So if they try to burst your bubble
It's cons they haven't done em all
And when you feel you are in trouble
Hold your head up high and feel your heart inside
And know that you are never alone
Just as long as you
Hold on to your dream
Cause they're always worth having
Hold on to your dream
Like a father to his son
Don't let anyone ever steal your joy from you
Hold on to your dream
till the day that life is said and done
Hold on to your dream
Cause they're always worth having
Hold on to your dream
Like a mother to her child
Don't let anyone ever steal your dreams from you
Hold on to your dream
And do your best to always wear a smile
Hold on to your dream

Hold no man responsible for what he says in his grief.
Now And Then
(jerry fuller)
I see you now, i think of then
And dwell upon the happiness of way back when
Cause since you said goodbye
The feelings just won't die
And i still long to hold you now and then
A million years have come and gone
And i was sure by now i'd make it on my own
But seeing you today
Took my breath away
And i still long to hold you now and then
Suddenly i felt myself wondering
If you might wanna try it again
And though i wanted so much to hold you
You smiled and shook my hand
So i'll exist on dreams again
On days when we were lovers and not just friends
And even if i find another love in time
I still long to hold you now and then
Oh, i still long to hold you now and then

On Fire
My opinion could change today, but Im responsible anyway
For second or third hand information
That complicates the complication
And I dont think before I speak
And I dont know how far my words reach
So wrong nearly every time, that Im sorry I speak my mind
If what I said was unkind
Now it feels like Im on fire
Its burning the world through
But dont hold it against me, cuz I know youre lying, too
Is there any need for apology? Theres no reason to believe me
Judgments born in my jealous mind, creeping inside outside
Connections Ive made never follow through
And sooner or later disappoint you
Or cross you twice when your back is turned, thats how Ive learned
That someone has got to be burned
Now it feels like Im on fire, these words are not the truth
But dont hold it against me, cuz I know youre lying, too
Feels like Im on fire, its burning the world through
Dont let me fall without someone to hold on to
Someone to hold to, someone to hold on to

Have You Seen My Baby?
Have you seen my baby
On the avenue?
You know shes driving me crazy
With the funny things she do
I seen her with the milkman
Ridin down the street
When youre through with my baby, milkman
Send her home to me
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
You know its been so long
Since she have been gone
Hold on, hold on, hold on
I seen her with the gipsies
Dancin in the wood
Shes always been unfaithful to me
She aint never been no good
I say, please dont talk to strangers, baby
But she always do
She say, Ill talk to strangers if I want to
cause Im a stranger, too
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
You know its been so long
Since she have been gone
Hold on, hold on, hold on
