Pocket and Run
They meet!
They nod.
They socialize...
And exchange between them business cards.
They listen,
With intent.
Identifying the purpose...
What to them this affair has meant!
Leaving each other,
Smiling big with firm handshakes.
Opportunists they are...
Believing they have what it takes,
To establish themselves and make 'breaks'!
But when it is time,
To get 'real' things done...
They show utter dissatisfaction,
Towards the working ones!
As they explain in campaigns...
They're awaiting for more funding,
To pocket and run!

Keep The Intent Of Your Purpose
Although there seems to be,
A slowing done of your focused flow...
Keep the intent of your purpose.
Don't let that motivation go.
Stay true to yourself,
Knowing your beliefs do not deceive.
Keep the intent of your purpose.
Do not let that purpose leave.
It is difficult enough,
To constantly be bombarded...
From those events,
That fuss things up.
It's enough to want to cuss,
Everything believed to be corrupt.
But that 'outside' stuff that is happening...
Has a meaning that should awaken all of us.
Although there seems to be,
A slowing done of your focused flow...
Keep the intent of your purpose.
Don't let that motivation go.
Stay true to yourself,
Knowing your beliefs do not deceive.
Keep the intent of your purpose.
Do not let that purpose leave.
Each day collect pieces,
Of your sanity.
Keep the intent of your purpose.
Be gentle and easily allow yourself to breathe.

Baby Keep Smiling
It's hot outside so for me it is
a brand new day that I shall kiss
and if you feel the same way too
then do the things that I'm goin do
all we need is a mobile phone
to tell everybody: we are not at home
and if you have to work all day
then listen what I got to say
Baby keep smilin'
you know the sun is shinin'
I put on my glasses
and tell you how sweet your ass is
so would you jump in my caddy
and call me your sweet sweet daddy
all we need is a mobile phone
to tell everybody: we are not at home
and if you have to work all day
then listen what I got to say
Baby keep smilin'
you know the sun is shinin'
(sing along)
keep on smiling
the sun is shining
Baby keep smilin'
you know the sun is shinin'
Baby keep smilin

But...Don't You Think That's Stupid?
Unflattering and degrading comments to me made! ?
If I had not been raised prepared to receive them,
Or listen with intent to criticisms sent my way...
My strut would not have had such a focus with purpose.
Nor would I feel what I did m
Meant 'something' to get,
Enough attention to be mentioned.
'Why do you do what you do?
As if to have others believe you are a fool? '
Ssshhh.
What are you trying to do?
Ruin my reputation?
What makes you 'think'...
I am not doing the best I can,
To represent myself as one.
'But...
Don't you think that's stupid? '
Of course I do.
So what point are your trying to make?

Keep On Smilin
... oh baby, yeah, girl, you always make me feel so good inside
What about you and me?
We were supposed to play for keeps. home grown from the streets,
The jungle in our reach
It aint about bein a hood
When you touch me like you should,
Ill rule every day
You let me in your world.
Chorus:
You see through of these years our love remains,
The moon will never let the tide go away
Through the pleasure and pain,
Through the sunshine and rain,
Baby, we keep on smilin
Through the laughter and tears
And all of the years,
Baby, we keep on smilin
Everybody says the same
Baby, keep smilin, smilin for me, come on now,
Baby, keep smilin, keep on smilin
Headin out to the beach,
Try to claim a few rays
Jump in the back seat,
Were gonna taste the grape,
Red and white they both go,
Were cruisin the way.
Thats right, pretty girl, no matter how hard things might get, you can always count on me.
Hey, you see...
Baby keep smilin...

Egress
how very sad, these sad ones murmuring along
happily delighted in their tricks and habits
staring vacantly, intent on rusted footpaths
where have they come from, where do they lead?
just one purpose met, just one light fulfilled
growing not upward or with skillful grace
simply entertained, simplier confused
there is not a boundary set for measurement
only dissolution of boxes, breaking of walls
bearing this verity in mind, that all is pale
heaven is meant for angels, and hell for demons
leaving is not a science, but an understanding

Don't Count On That At All
When I give...
Don't count on it being everlasting.
Unless there is a mutual exchange going on.
I have needs and desires to.
I can sit and listen to you.
And sitting to listen to you,
Is all that I have been doing.
That was not a career choice.
You have taken no time to hear me.
Feel or understand that I might wish for you to listen...
To me.
And I know that would be traumatic for you!
And like I said,
When I give...
Don't count on it being everlasting.
In fact,
Don't count on that at all.
I am removing myself from this nest.
I am leaving this convention of selfishness,
That I have allowed and made too comfortable...
To have my presence disrespected!

More Meaning to Me Than Compliments
For the purpose of message.
That is all that is meant,
By my intent.
Comprehension exchanged,
Has more meaning to me than compliments.
I am flattered by those who do it.
It inspires and motivates,
With a lift.
But I have no need to feed an ego.
Although others may wish this.
And actively solicit.

Sad Affair
I called you last night
But I got no reply
Theres something not right
By the look in your eye
Makes me laugh
To walk the path
So many pass this way
Its so unreal
I cant help but feel
I gotta wake you from this daze
Listen to a world of your own
Youve got to leave me alone
Sweet mother calling up now
Dont want to speak to no fool
She say I got to look out
For Ive got to find the jewels
I have some precious momements
Into the night I stare
To dream of something special
Ooh another sad affair
When all your trust
Turns to dust
And youre lost for words to say
Youve got so much more to see before
You turn to walk away
Listen to a world of your own
Youve got to leave me alone.
Ooh another sad affair
Another sad affair
Ooh another sad affair
Another sad affair
It makes me laugh to walk this path
So many pass this way
Its so unreal
I cant help but feel
I gotta wake you from this daze
Listen...

Our Affair
What a perfect night
Secrets lights up the sky
Like fireflies do
There's nothing but a silky hope
That old opiate
Between me and you
Don't look now
We're just about there
We're just one little breath away
From our affair
From our affair
Don't move too fast
Don't run scared
We're just one surrender away
From our affair
Don't you feel like
You're coming down with something
Some great fancy flu
Don't you feel like you're
Coming down with me
And it doesn't get sicker than you
Don't you feel like this is the really good part
Where it's still up in the air
The perfect romance is never
Stated or sated, deflated or fair
Don't admit it yet
And don't stop saying your prayers
We're just one little heartbeat away
From our affair
From our affair
There's a light in my window
And a little red ladybug in my hair
Just one turn down an empty street
Away,away, away
From our affair
From our affair
There's a white-hot desire
Of which I am pleasantly aware
Just one more "wait a minute baby"
Away, away, away, away
From our affair
From our affair
From our affair

Following Those Hollow
And those who say they knew him,
Did not know him from within.
They knew of his accomplishments...
And some with him embellished them.
While others were contented,
To show how much of him they resented.
He would listen with a sensitivity...
From depths unexplained,
Or could tell what they meant!
From a divine philosophy sent.
And when he passed away from them,
His life seemed to have more purpose 'then'.
Since he was validated for not wasting his wishes...
Instead of dismissing 'gifts' tormenting him to fits!
Unlike those who sat...
To gather in chats,
About what he had accomplished...
Despite their unwarranted jealous attacks!
And what he left behind were discovered facts.
Leaving them shocked and amazed,
He had spent his days...
Protecting their backs!
While they made efforts to stop him in his tracks.
Leaving them stunned and in a daze...
To discover he was the martyred one,
And they scrambled in a maze quite crazed!
Friends,
They say!
As thick as thieves,
They say!
And these,
They say...
Will never betray!
They say!
As long as they...
See themselves,
Following those hollow!

Ugo Print
On Lake Avenue, there is a business owner named Que.
He owns Ugo Print and he has a great crew.
His crew develops, creates and makes a new
your brochures, business cards and letterhead too.
Ugo Print took my artwork and enlarged it for a fair price,
better then Fed Ex, and staff is really nice.
Business cards of mine where printed with a great format,
Ugo Print made it great I can vouch for that.
Embroidery and screen printing Ugo does as well,
they are a full range printing company that does sell,
sell direct mail that makes your business boom,
print with Que who is exceptional and his employees too.

An Unintended Blessing
the critic serves a useful purpose
criticism can contain a surprising
amount of suddenly revealed truth
comments may have been venom versed
yet these are a great source of inspiration
in identifying areas to accurately improve
my philosophy, to use criticism, for a better,
more determined purpose, as focus point,
as an inspiration, to succeed, to attain excellence

The Attributes of Planets in Our Solar System
Do not aspire to achieve heights of greatness,
And be prone to make typographical errors...
Of words used,
Without knowing definitions.
Or content of a purpose meant,
That may not produce the expected outcome...
Desired.
For example...
A name affixed to the planet Uranus,
May imply for some...
That you refer to manure.
And the use of it...
To encourage organic growth.
Some are not so sure,
If the usage of manure for this endures.
Especially,
When you are actually telling them where on a map to lick,
To help them to remember...
The attributes of planets in our solar system.
Learning is done by the application of tricks,
Sometimes.
When some minds decline behind the times.
Although there may be a few,
Who would rather kiss these aspirations.
And with them,
When they do...
The purpose meant and intent has more meaning.
'THIS has 'nothing' to do with typographical errors.'
I know.
As you can see...
I've done my best to correct any,
One may be inclined to find.
'And...
What about the attributes of planets in our solar system? '
That's not my interest.
Although Uranus is.

Nothing to declare
we need passports id-s and an
unrepeatable unique crucial numbers of a citizen
we look at those photographs with weary visa faces
that reflect a tiresome long standing in a queue
why can't we sit
we need hands palms a pointer sealed in an
unrepeatable unique crucial print of a citizen
why can't we make a handshake
we need this for the sake of neat info organization
so as not to be lost so as to be easily found
why is no one looking for us
we need health cards credit cards phone cards
business cards membership cards
why can't we discard them
we need birth school pre post BA MA PHD certificates
why can't we really sign them
we need a luggage a lift a transport a life
why can't we travel
why do we have
nothing to declare

Something Else Unstated
What is it that one 'should' expect to accept?
That which is told and thought to be correct.
Or another version of it,
To then be told what was first said and heard...
One should forget since it was not meant,
To be intended to be interpreted...
For anyone to take seriously.
'Then why say these things at all?
What is the purpose? '
~Today?
I've learned not to analyze one's intentions.
Or the depths of their honesty or purpose,
To avert away from it.
It has become too easy for anyone,
To change what they initially say...
For something else unstated,
They claim to have meant.~
'Why bother to make attempts,
To have a meaningful conversation? '
~How can that be done?
When people have not experienced,
The benefit or purpose of having one.~

Consular cards were not designed to be identification and no treaty recognizes them as such. Legal travelers, visitors and long-term residents carried passports, visas or green cards for that purpose.
