Into a Devoted Motion

Blocked but not stopped,
Is a flow that can overwhelm.
And...
Deflected,
To dropp its effectiveness.
Where a nourishment is sought.
And not dissected...
Into a nothingness that drifts off.

A purpose that is determined,
Will earn eventually an overdue respect.
No matter if there is a resistence to it...
A delivery to feed,
Will arrive at its destination.
By any means necessary...
To get to where it gets.
With or without,
A disappointment to fret!
Or its movement to regret.

And that which is anticipated,
Achieves beyond oppositions met.
When set and kept...
Into a devoted motion.
Regardless if the notion,
Is to impede its release.

A Significance Diminished

A significance diminished,
Increases in its worthlessness.
And an attention given to prevent this...
Decreases the value of a usefulness.

Segmented divisions,
Introduced to initiate fences to separate...
Implemented a hatred to satiate.
And an accepted degrading of others...
Began an effectiveness.

And,
Those then blinded now see...
There is nothing of a nourishment left,
For them to eat.
A feeding on what had been valued,
Depletes in its neccessity!

A significance diminished,
Increases in its worthlessness.
And an attention given to prevent this...
Decreases the value of a usefulness.
And an abuse of respect remembered,
Is difficult to forgive and forget!

Negativity fed does not continue to feed.
A feeding on negativity eventually breeds regret!
And the breeding of regret...
Tarnishes for many what had been significant!
Leaving a significance diminished,
Soggy with tears wept!

Respect for My Foes

Why should I show respect for a man that shows me none?
Why should I follow your codes when they have no meaning to me?
Respect after all is something we must earn,
And as far as my eyes can see you deserve nothing.

It may be law that I should respect you,
But I shall break law if it means that I am free
Because who likes shackels; they after all are made from man kind.
No man shall hold me for I am as free as a bird.

I shall dropp dead flat on my face
Before I ever put you in a palace
Before I give you the respect you think you have earned.

The highest you will ever go is the social status of a goat.
But we slaughter them.
I hope your happy being king of the goats

They say respect your foes as you do yourself.
So today I shall pretend to be the dirt under my shoes.
And I shall treat you the exact same way.
Respect is somethning we must earn, have you earned it.
I Think Not!

Can It Be Stopped

Can they can they dropp it.
Can it,
Be stopped.

Can they can they dropp it.
Can it,
Be stopped.

Can it be dropped.
Can it be stopped.

Hoodwinkers on the loose.
Hoodwinkers out to dupe too!
And...
Can they be stooped.

Crooked people after loot,
Proving they can low stoop.
But...
Can they can they dropp it.
Can they be stopped.
Can they can they dropp it.
Can they be stopped.

Hoodwinkers on the loose,
Stooping low as they choose.
Can they can they dropp it.
Can it,
Be stopped.
Can they can they dropp it.
Can it,
Be stopped.
Can they can they dropp it.
Can it,
Be stopped.

Respect Poem

_________________________________________
Resp ect your elders all if they deserve;
Respect your servants who will serve;
Respect your father for tilling the soil;
Respect your mother for her love and toil.

Respect all teachers who gave you the knowledge;
respect your parent who will pay for your collage
respect your friend who saved you from the ledge
respect yourself from not going to the edge.

they are so many things we tend to say
giving respect does not come everyday
don't reject, don't regret just correct
but don't forget to bloody respect.

respect it something i like
doesn't matter if your wrong or right
doesn't matter if you black or white
doesn't matter if your rich or poor
doesn't matter what the hell you own
doesn't matter what way were you born.

There Could Have Been A Flourishing

There could have been a flourishing.
With an enriching nourishment that encouraged it.
There could have been a sharing of expertise,
Amongst those mature enough to do it.
And an increase of understanding,
From everyone released.

There could have been growth,
With a beneficial purpose done.
But that road was blocked...
By the ones who joined that bandwagon,
With wishes to have these joint ventures stopped.

There could have been,
A respecting of differences from the beginning...
To everyone's benefit.
There could have been appreciation expressed,
For one person to the next.

There could have been ideals addressed,
With less dissecting as to whose suggestions...
Were better than the rest.
But minds seeking to impress...
Infected all with a lack of interest.

There could have been a flourishing.
With an enriching nourishment that encouraged it.
There could have been a sharing of expertise,
Amongst those mature enough to do it.
But those mature enough to do this,
Could no longer endure those immature!

Dividends Returned

You deserve, earn and get...
The dividends returned,
From your wise investment.

Treat me,
Like I am your treat to eat.
Like a burst of flavor quinching your thirst!
And I will provide the motivation encouraged...
To flourish undisturbed,
The nourishment from you that purges.

Speak to me in unregretted respect.
And you will never regret...
Or need to worry what from me comes next!
For you I will be direct and uncomplexed.
To leave you never to wonder,
If I have delivered to you my best.

You deserve, earn and get...
The dividends returned,
From your wise investment.

I will give for you to see...
Only evidence believed!

The Paradigm Shift

Let's dance, stop to fight
We do the paradigm shift tonight
Yeah, it's a natural drift alright
And it's coming up out of the blur
Out of your mind from deep below
The hidden harmonies discover
Chaos-- which means order
Its evolution is a spiritual way
For quietness is stronger than motion
Silence is stronger than sound
Listen to the tone which is not played
Nothing is what we want
Quietness is stronger than motion
Silence is stronger than sound
Nothing is what we get
But the holistic movement of all
Yes, that is the way
Do you hear the river flow?
Do you hear it?.. Yes!
Do you hear it flow
You talked yourself into wrong questions
You don't care about the answers
You let the others be the good ones
You're part of the death-bringing system
There is no place where you can hide
Stop chasing the wrong Gods of time (ter)
Chasing the wrong Gods of time (bis)
Running out of time (ter)
Time kills!
You're lowering hopes much too much
You get into the grind much too much
And losing faith in your abilities
The loyalty to your beloved system
Of belief must surrender
To chaos which means order
Evolution's not a model of yours
For quietness is stronger than motion
Silence is stronger than sound
Listen to the tone which is not played
Nothing is what we want
Quietness is stronger than motion
Silence is stronger than sound
Nothing is what we get
But the holistic movement of all
Yes, that is the way
Do you hear the river flow?
Do you hear it flow?
Do you hear it

I Am Nothing But That Energy! ?

'With all I have lost, I found
that I never had Anything.
looking at nothingness of me,
I learnt same nothingness behind everything,
And that nothingness felt not in this plane,
Here that nothingness acts as everything,
That is true in that plane,
This is true in this one!

When I depend on light,
Time and space come to existence,
Where that formless energy assumes form,
To achieve some work on its own,

I am nothing other than that energy,
still something makes me,
myself look different,
And different forms!

Even my or your identity seems to be
Nothing,
but for me that is Everything in love, and love is the basis of all creation,
when energy love to have some recreation! ! ! '

Look strange, if we put some effort to rearrange jig saw puzzle,
We definitely arrive at meaning,
And this confidence of energy
makes it try to solve using different forms,
This is its belief
belief of energy entering the matter,
Make it to move and think
And arrive at the Truth!

Only a Few Who Believe

Watched.
Followed.
Dissected and tapped!
And still there are no conclusions reach.
An electrical current provides the heat!
And still the originator of this delivery...
Is sought to conquer!
In a disturbing desire to defeat.
But none can develop or duplicate its power!
As if it is resisting.
It isn't!
Only a few who believe...
Are receiving!
And those confused,
Abuse themselves grieving!

Has My Delivery Come To You Too Easy?

You dropped me.
Too many times stopped me,
You did.
No matter what I tried,
With swollen weeping eyes...
Unhidden and hard to dry.
To appeal to your wants...
And,
Expressed needs.

You can not or wont,
Compromise.
You can not or wont,
Empathize.
Nor will you set aside...
Your pride to embrace reason.
But yet you do a rushing,
To quickly satisfy yourself...
With a temporary decision,
That will not last or please.

It is you that will be swept into regret.
You can not see that yet.
But you will.
This I feel.
And they are real,
These feelings for you I've kept.

You have been convinced by others,
Another they have picked...
Has your best interest.
And I am unfit.

You have been convinced by others,
To introduce between us...
Their conflicts.
And this,
For whatever your purpose meant...
You wish not to avoid or prevent.

No matter what I tried,
With swollen weeping eyes...
Unhidden and hard to dry.
To appeal to your wants...
And,
Expressed needs.
To see...
I am that package you've been awaiting.

Has my delivery come to you too easy?
And you are more familiar with conflict?
Would I have had a better chance,
If I had introduce it?

A moment of fun

It was regrettably a moment
A moment of fun
Right under the sun
As I try to run
Captivated by fear
The harm is already done
I wonder which gender will be born
Where was that elastic
Known by its other name as condom?

Sporadic thoughts storm my brain cells
I better prepare a futuristic story to tell
Will it be a boy or girl?

An unwanted birth
On my cranky old bed set
Where bodies have mixed up
And churned up in anticipated sweat
I regret, I fret
I regret, I fret
Realising the damage
I rage, low on wage and engage
In remorseful thoughts
My thirst has been quenched and trenched

Was it worth it? Behold No!
Did I need it? Behold Yes!
The left overs are the fruit of my labour
The consequences are my only neighbour
At this time I need a saviour
How can I bring a child up all alone?
What direction have the warm winds blown?
In a moment of fun
I lost but he won
Now he is on the run

Empowered

Do you read and leave,
Without feeling the content?

Do you receive the message...
That is left and meant?

Do you sit and contemplate,
What it is that is said?
Does anything stay connected...
In your head to reflect.

Every word selected has a purpose,
To affect.
Those emotions hidden deep.
To respect...
Not neglect.

Each of us are directed,
To use this gift we have to touch.
And if it is protected in honesty...
The delivery exposes an effectiveness,
The receiver can not reject.

Do you read and leave,
Without feeling the content?

Do you receive the message...
That is left and meant?

The you have become empowered!

Respect Is What You Earn Not Command

Respect is what you earn not command
That is something some find hard to understand
You earn respect if respect you do show
From people in your life you've come to know

Of Respect or lack of we do read of and hear
Though 'tis a thing that cannot be born of fear
Of somebody who has power over you
In your feigned respect your feelings are not true.

Many may respect and admire the high achievers of the town
And applaud them on their journey to renown
But with the many some do disagree
Through different eyes we see things differently.

Respect is something you can only show
For one that you feel privileged for to know
And of any shackles true respect is free
That's how it is and that's how 'twill always be.

In Any and Every Way

They want to be treated one way!
Not me.
Treat me with respect...
In any and every way you can!
Show it,
And you wont have to be concerned,
About it being returned.
It will arrive to sit at your doorstep
To surround in a special delivery!

Spider Web

The spider web drifts,
abandoned, useless,
high in the window
bright in the setting sun,
close to a world in motion.

Not immersed in the savage flow,
it is protected from wild birds
that caw in the swaying tree
peering down
at creatures bound to solid,
unmoving ground.

Their motion
is sacred motion,

but the web just aimlessly stirs
in an inner breeze

always on the edge
of the living sea

held fast by stasis
of gravity.

Tears

It comes with a lump on the throat,
Conceived by a gripping pain.
In the absence of comfort sought,
There's a need for release again.

First formed with a deep sigh,
A quiver of the lips tries withholding
That tiny dropp from the eye
From eventually...finally, falling.

As the weight from the heart breaks,
It flows with abandoned speed.
A torrent of drops the eyes forsake,
The water of relief, tears indeed.

Effort

It takes initiative.
Sometimes unrelenting...
To accomplish a task,
From the beginning to end.

And there are times,
What one has chosen to do...
May be too much loved,
To ever give up to walk away.

With motivation, purpose and direction,
It takes effort to make things work.
It takes sacrifice applied.
And initiative with sacrifice 'and' devotion...
May require dedication for the rest of one's life.
Depending on how deeply one is determined and affected.
No matter how easy or hard it may look,
From the outside looking in.

It takes effort to make things work.
It takes sacrifice applied.
And initiative with sacrifice 'and' devotion.
With that set in motion,
Few people could careless how they are perceived.
Knowing blood, sweat and many tears,
May never be subjected to leave.

Oh yes...
It takes effort to make things work.
It takes sacrifice applied.
And with that set in motion,
In the heart of one devoted...
Few doing this could careless,
How they are perceived by the rest.
It takes an effort that will be tested.

I have likened writing a novel to going on a journey, with some notion of the destination I will arrive at, but not the whole picture - which emerges gradually as a series of revelations, as the journey goes along.

No Respect

Respect,
Always everybody looking for some
Respect,
Who do you think youre gonna get it from
Respect,
Anybody here deserving of none
Respect,
Tell me what makes you think
Youre not the one
No respect, no respect none
No respect, no respect none
No respect, no respect none
No respect, no respect none
Respect,
Why be concerned with
Public adulation
Respect,
Pat on the back crying
For attention
Respect,
Finding out what it really
Means to me
Respect,
Honor comes only after
Humility
