IF You Wish To See Me Be Submissive
Never did I ask,
For an acceptance of my honesty.
When you invited me to pay a visit...
I insisted to forward my résumé.
But noooo...
You said you wanted me to feel at home.
In an environment I would find simple,
Relaxed and nontaxing in conversation.
Something familiar...
That would not threaten me,
With a discomfort.
And I took you up on your invitation.
And I feel as if I've become challenged.
Remember...
You invited me over for an evening of relaxation.
Why after beating you in the playing of chess,
Scrabble and discussing everything from politics...
Cooking, sports, religion, proper diet, exercise
Mediation and quoting from Biblical scriptures...
You want to box?
I think that is totally ridiculous.
I can think of other ways,
You can prove to me your dominance.
Yes, I too can box.
However...
If you want to impress me by knocking me out.
I can only think of one way you can do that.
And I need not have to show you my jab!
IF you wish to see me be submissive...
All you have to do is ask!

Use of Your Techniques
Remember...
You invited me,
To rank and critique.
As if my ego,
Would find a boost...
By the use of your techniques.
You insisted that I needed this.
And even today I agree I do.
The exposure to such pettiness...
Has kept me feeling blessed,
That what I have to offer
Does not need to pass your tests!
Remember...
You invited me,
To share my abilities.
And not feed from the offerings,
Of a constant flow of mindless BS!
That you claim is among your very best!
Please.
I am not flattered easily,
By insults!

Like You And I Were In A Marriage?
You say I have been harsh and critical,
Aloof and seem to be unreasonably embittered.
You also make claims I have been unapproachable,
And that my actions are more like a quitter.
You say,
Whenever you come to visit my home...
I sit with very little to exchange in conversation.
And my hospitality has begun to get 'edgy'...
As if I don't want to communicate in the sharing of,
Those topics you pick.
'I see...
When was the last time you invited me,
To come to your home?
Or invited me out anywhere? '
Well...
I...uh...live in a...uh,
Neighborhood I don't particularly like.
And besides...
I like your music.
The meals you cook are delicious.
And...
Where else can I go,
To use a computer, watch anything I want on TV...
And not be disturbed by noisy neighbors.
'I see.
Like you and I were in a marriage? '
No. No...
Nothing like that.
Just good friends.

Your Actions Have Outdated My Patience
For many years I have known of you!
And in those years,
I feel I don't know you at all.
I've invited you into my home...
And assisted in the things you do.
I've even invited you with me,
To attend events.
And this you have refused,
With excuses to invent.
And when I see you publicly,
You pretend not to know me...
You never acknowledge me to make small talk.
When was the last time I recieved your invitation,
To go anywhere with different sights to see?
I can not recall that being your priority.
And yet you call yourself my 'friend'?
Which one of us is pretending?
And which one of us thinks,
Whatever this is between us should end?
'You don't know me like you think you do! '
You say to me as if to accuse.
And I say to you...
'No kidding?
You must be a comedian too?
But your actions have outdated my patience.'

Our Mindsets Are On Two Different Ships
Relationships based upon the masquerading of images...
Are not invited for private meetings,
Within the comfort of my home.
People who condone those types of affairs,
I don't criticize at all.
What is mine is not theirs to share.
And mutually I don't see why the other would care.
Our mindsets are on two different ships.
Relationships based upon the masquerading of images...
Are not invited for private meetings,
Within the comfort of my home.
No one is invited to come into my home,
To play hide and seek.
Or guess what I'm thinking next!
If the conversation is not open and free...
I don't extend understandings.
Get up and leave,
That's my policy!

Love And Napalm
Call me Deadliner
Nothing in here but dust.
Are you afraid dear listener?
Nothing in here but us.
I'll give you black rumours
'Stay away from everything I've seen.'
I'll give you black rumours
'Stay away from everyone I've been.'
The broken sound of love and lies
Still fill your room.
Faded memories of shame
Will find you soon.
I'll give you corrosion
Miracles are never what they seem
I'll give you corrosion
Welcome to the nightmare, not the dream.
I can remember everything.
Every promise, every lie,
And how the words of strangers made me cry.
All the pride, all the shame,
All the friends that came from nowhere
And then hurried back again.
I collected scars like a man at war
And I thought 'Isn't life peculiar,
Desire takes you there, but not back.'
No more. I'm just another old story.
When God heard your prayer
It said 'I am not your friend.'
Laughed like a fallen angel
And said 'I've no love to send.'
It keeps a photograph
It likes to overdose on time
It said 'Time to leave'
Like other friends of mine.
I'll give you dark wonders
You are all invited to the show.
I'll give you dominions
You are all invited to the show.
I'll give you dead hereos
You are all invited to the show.
I'll give you love and napalm
You are all invited to the show.

Fast Forward
Why is your fist all up in my face?
'I just wanted you to see my knuckles,
In the event you should say something...
Totally disrespectful.
And I wanted you to see,
What I am capable of doing...
Before your lights are turned off.'
Why would my lights be turned off?
'Only your conversation will determine that.'
We haven't started it yet!
'So far we understand each other.
And I am liking it so far.
I'm ready whenever you want to begin.
And remember...
Keep it respectful.
And let's try to stay away,
From backstabbing relatives, past relationships...
Politics, religion or religious beliefs.
And especially cheating spouses.
I get upset easily.'

You're Invited
Little woman got that look in her eyes
Want to cut me down to size
Show me watcha gonna do...it's true
Who's that gorilla standin' by your side
Oh no that must be your ride
You wouldn't be with such a fool
Or your mama too
There's something over here i want you to see
There's a party but it isn't for three
Get something straight between you and me...because
(chorus)
Oh, no you're invited but your friend can't come
Oh, no come on baby we're gonna have some fun
Wow
Heartbreaker yeah you came for the show
But little did you know you'd end up in the spotlight
Well all right
Come on baby won't you show me what you've got
Ready or not...one, two, here we go
Oh no
Nobody's watchin' it's time to decide
Shake the monkey, mama don't be shy
Come on honey time to take a little ride because
(chorus)
Oh, no you're invited but your friend can't come
Oh, no you're invited but your friend can't come
Rock the night like a hurricane
Make me sweat like the drivin' rain
Pour it on till i can't get no reaction
It's gonna be your night tonight
I'm gonna make you feel all right
Scream and shout, i need it now!
Now! now! now! now!!!!!!
I'm making plans for the rest of the night
So tell your guard dog he better not bite
My dogs are bigger and they're ready to fight
Come on...come on...come on...give it up tonight!
(chorus)
Oh, no you're invited but your friend can't come
Oh, no come on baby we're gonna have some fun
We're gonna have some fun, we're gonna have some fun
Have some fun, baby...oh...she can't come...

And from the eyes of those,
That have been overdosed...

Shoveled away,
Is the scent of manure.
People who endured it,
Reached and sought for better days.
Some folks who stayed,
Pray on wounded knees.
Hoping that the sky will open,
To release,
Gold trimmed silver trinkets as they please.
And some sneeze from the gold dust rubbed.
With,
Excited.

The Effects Of A Secret Leaks
The effects of a secret leaks.
And those trusted with it,
Claim to now feel threatened?
By what?
Their guilt?
If a secret leaks to achieve the expected...
Why would those unknown,
To have kept the secret...
Between themselves,
Feel 'now' their identities will be exposed?
To who, what or whom?
If a mission successfully has been accomplished...
Only those chosen,
Should be invited to celebrate the outcome.
Unless some are feeling slighted,
Because they weren't invited.

Unconditional and Uninhibited Love
What are you doing?
When I invited you out for dinner...
I did not expect this at all.
'You were the one to ask if I was uninhibited! '
I meant in private.
When we are alone!
Hurry up!
Get dressed.
This is embarrassing.
You are an exhibitionist.
'What difference does that make?
I told you I enjoy eating in the nude!
So you want me to take the tassels off my breasts too?
I thought you said you wanted to see me dance? '
Hurry up and get dressed.
This whole thing has been a misunderstanding.
Your ad said 'Unconditional and Uninhibited Love'.
'And...
What is your point?
I'm the one embarrassed.
I should have questioned you 'before' accepting your invitation.
You're the one who lied when you said I should be myself!
Didn't I tell you,
My honesty was rare?
That I kept nothing covered?
I was as naked to the truth as I can be? '
Yeah...
But,
People lie!
And this is 'too' much honesty.
I'm not ready for it.
Hurry...
Get dressed.

Excited to Perform Localized Surgeries
'If my heart could ever fly to you,
To hold yours in your need...
You would not ever have to wait in anticipation.
All of me would be there to enfold your loveliness.
Forever I confess my love for you.
You are the only 'BOO I'd HOO' for! '
He gets more and more sentimental.
I just love him.
He's so silly!
'You are the only 'BOO I'd HOO' for! '
Is different.
WHY he wanted to be President,
Is STILL a mystery to me.
~You know how he loves challenges.
Where is he?
We were all to have breakfast together,
Before our family hike through the woods
This morning.~
He went to visit those wounded.
~He was there shooting pool with the troops,
Just the other day.
He spoils the hospital staff whenever he visits.
He is too concerned about their welfare.
I still think it is disrespectful they call him,
By his first name.~
Don't blame that on them.
That's his doing.
And they are not the wounded he went to visit.
~They're not? ? ?
Well...
Who are the wounded he had to visit,
At this hour of the day? ~
Remember those senators...
The ones who invited him to speak,
At their after party?
You know 'that' party.
The one after his State of the Union speech?
~OH!
Geeessshhh.
That one?
Yes.
I had to turn it off myself.
What in the world were they thinking.
With cameras AND reporters invited too?
That was extremely painful to watch.
Hopefully they will get the picture soon.
Heaven knows, the entire nation did.
Did you actually see him begin to smile?
Especially when he got excited to perform,
Those localized surgeries.
And the agony on their faces?
They had no clue,
His speciality is clinicalized removal.
With stunning precision.
I wanted to embrace them all myself,
When I saw what he was about to do! ~
He is a wonderful teacher as well.
I saw it coming.
I wish I was there to have given them all a hint!
Or told him not to leap up,
So excitedly towards the podium.
A little stroll would have been less intimidating.
Eventually they will get the message.
If he allows them to survive!
One senator compared him to Jimmy Carter.
And he did it sarcastically.
They are going to find out...
My 'BOO' aint no Jimmy Carter!

Leave Me Alone
As for this song
Ill set the mood
Theres nothing wrong
Prefer solitude
Alone to think
Of what I dont know
The deeper I sink
The further Ill go
Nothing to fear
No need to hide
Im already there
Came in from outside
Safe in my nest
Home sweet home
No invited guests
I want to be alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
I wish you would
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
I just want to be alone
Its better this way
No one will get hurt
If you stay away
I wont lose my shirt
If I have become
Too defensive
Im not the one
You have to live with
Chorus
I want to be, I want to be
I want to be, alone
Dont feel sorry
Its not your concern
Only the lonely
Are the ones who get burned
Safe in my nest
Home sweet home
No invited guests
I want to be alone

The Effects of Racism
I was once invited to participate,
In a seminar.
To discuss the effects of racism,
Conducted many miles away in an isolated
Remote area
Distanced from where the effects took place.
Near my home.
And I was to be the only Black to appear,
On this prestigious panel.
I declined the offer.
Since I felt it was ridiculous,
To remove myself away from those 'effects'
While in discussion with others,
Who kept perpetuated the acceptance
Of expressed indifferences.
Plus I had attended another affair,
At the same location...
As others listened intently,
While I explained reasons for wearing my hair
In dreads!
And if it had an affect on my identity.
I was then asked to come again,
Next time I was in the area.
As if these 'settings' would be missed,
In my life!
And those who 'sympathized' with my plight,
Would embrace my need to receive their acceptance.
With an understanding of my internal turmoil.
Which, of course, had to depress,
My sensibilities.
Yes!
Only an eyewitness experiencing this,
Would appreciate the sacrifices I make.
Living amongst those who have not been so 'chosen'
To escape from their deprived and substandard conditions.
Inflicted upon them by those less liberal of deed.
I feel so blessed to be honored,
By those 'willing' to share their comfort zones!
However...
There is something about my own environment,
That affords me the freedom to express less pretentiousness.
Although I must say this,
Being a 'victim' of those who are racists...
Has, at times, been to my benefit.
At least I know where they are coming from.
And I have been given opportunities to avoid them!
With a choice to leave them and their preceptions,
'Impressed' upon their limited consciousness.
And I,
Could leave them alone to glorify their intentions.

Deleted
The last time you said no,
And I agreed.
You wanted me to extend to you,
An apology.
I couldn't believe you actually insisted.
You wanted me to resist.
But instead I went along with it.
Remember when I persisted...
To get you to see me differently?
I wanted to prove to you,
I was genuine and true.
But you wanted to play hard to get.
And when you did that,
I had no regrets.
And now you wish to begin again.
After you have discovered,
My honesty is not a trend.
I am not someone you can dump,
And pick back up!
You thought you were too good for me.
But it is you who has run out of luck.
The last time you said no,
And I agreed.
I deleted you off the scene.
And that was done immediately.
I am not the one,
Suffering from an emotion of desperate need.

Love and not hate
Don't keep such feeling that people may forget to love
Don’t allow some else to come define and finally drive
Hide your pain in such a way that no one gets even comes to know
Confide in heart's walls so nothing comes out if it to blow
? ??? ??? ??? ???? ?????? ?? ??? ??????? ?? ???? ??? ???
???????? ?? ??? ??? ????? ??? ?? ???
????? ???? ??? ??? ?? ?? ????? ???
???? ?? ???? ?????? ?? ??? ??? ???? ?? ? ???
Hate results into hate and love enriches love
Accept it with full honesty and heartily believe
No need to respond as she also has the acceptance
If hate takes driver's seat then everything is lost at once
???? ?? ???? ????? ?? ?? ????? ?? ?????
?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ??? ????? ????? ?????
???? ???? ?? ????? ?? ???? ?? ?????? ?????? ???? ?? ?????
???? ??? ????? ?? ??? ???? ?? ?? ?? ??? ?? ?? ?????
You won't be able to sleep with lots of pain
The tears also may be going into drain
Tell your eyes that spring may come again tomorrow
The past may just be back with happiness to flow
?? ?? ???? ?? ??? ????? ?? ??? ?? ????? ????
????????? ???? ?? ??????? ?? ??? ????
????? ?? ?? ?? ???? ?????? ??? ?? ???? ????
???? ??? ?? ??? ???? ?? ????
Divert all the melodically waves to form a music
To impress upon and to bring around with magic
Love may definitely succeed to show its color and influence
Bring shine on her cheeks if possible at once
???? ?? '?????' ??? ?????? ?? ????? ??? ????? ?? ???
???? ?? ????? ?? ??? ?? ????? ?? ???
??????? ??? ??? ?? ????? ???? ??? ????? ?? ?? ???
?? ??? ?? ????? ?? ??? ???? ????? ?? ????? ?????? ???
It has become now impossible to bear and to reveal
The feet have crumbled under own weight and now terribly feel
I don't want to show it to whole world by beating the drum
Past love may certainly return which happens seldom
??? ??? ??? ?? ???? ?? ? ?? ?? ???? ?? ?? ???? ????
???? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ???? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ????? ?????
???? ???????? ???? ????? ?? ???? ??? ?? ?? ????? ????? ?????
????? ?? ???? ?? ???? ?? ??? ?????? ????? ?? ????? ?????
It is natural art to convert hate into love
It may prove beautiful if you can bring about and believe
Heart is filled with emotions a mind is bogged down
Tears just role out and fall of their own
???? ?? ?? ????? ??? ???? ?? ?? ?????? ?? ???? ??
???? ?? ?? ??? ?? ???? ?????? ?? ????? ??
???????? ??? ??? ???? ?? ???? ?? ?? ?? ?? ??? ??
?? ????? ??? ?? ????? ??? ???? ?? ??? ??
Nothing wrong in it if you claim true feelings
May be possible that you are unaware and unwilling
Still it will be better, instead of beating in dark, to accept it with open mind
Hold the hand firmly and show that you too are the claimants in race to find
????? ??? ?? ???? ???? ??? ?????? ????
?? ???? ?? ???? ??????? ???? ?? ????? ?? ????
??? ?? ?????? ??? ??? ?? ?? ????? ?? ???? ??? ??? ?? ????? ?? ??
????? ??? ????? ?? ?? ?? ?? ????? ?? ???? ?????? ?? ??????

From That Day....
I woke up in that morning.
I saw a nice view of nature outside the window.
I wanted to feel the day.
I wanted to explore my perceptions from that day.
I used to sit beside my little (but beautiful) garden.
I used to try to share something marvelous like them.
I used to write few words to impress you like them.
They are the noble-minded.
Me, a muddy boy always took my sense and my endurance at leisure.
Now, I came to know,
They always tried to show the actual law to reduce the drawback of life.
Yes, they were truly the lettered.
So, I got a lesson-
And I wanted to impress you by their admonitions
From the day.
Yes, from that day.
I always remember it (that day) before starting a rendition.
It was a remarkable and a resplendent day.

Squeal
I can't begin to tell you
How bad I feel about it
So now that it is all out
How do you feel - did you profit
Why can't you keep a secret
Why'd you squeal
I thought that I could trust you
Why'd you squeal
I thought we had agreed
That we were in this together
But now that you have betrayed me
I got no other option
Why can't you keep a secret
Why'd you squeal
I thought that it was private
It's a tea party and you're all invited
To kill the narc who wrote it and said it
You can always smell a stinkin' tattletale
Come out of a shell I think so they can break the link
When everyone knows it squeals and that is just as well
A kiss of death goes out to those who rat and fink
Why'd you squeal
But I can't begin to tell you
How bad I feel about it - hey
Why can't you keep a secret
Why'd you squeal
I thought that I could trust you
Why'd you squeal
It's a tea party and you're all invited
To kill the narc who wrote it and said it
You dirty rat
I can't begin to tell you
How bad I feel about it - hey
So now that it is all out
How do you feel - did you profit - hey
Well tell me all the gossip
Why'd you squeal

It's a tea party and you're all invited
To kill the narc who wrote it and said it
Kill the narc who wrote it and said it
Who's the narc who wrote it and said it
