Sustaining to Maintain That
I will be there 'with' you,
To prioritize what to do to get done.
I am that one!
But I will not be there 'for' you,
In the support of your fears.
Or a stagnation that is clear,
With an obviousness...
You wish it stays to remain.
Sustaining to maintain that...
Is all yours.

Obviousness of It
I want to know,
You.
Not that 'you'...
Prepared and rehearsed.
With lines to deliver crisp and quick.
To do and say what you think,
Is in my best interest.
No...
Not that!
I'm directing this!
I want to know,
You.
From where I want you,
To feel me.
And...
That deeply!
With an ultimate shallowness,
Of seeking your pleasure...
As a goal.
To meet discreetly.
And naked if we decide,
To share a chemistry prioritized.
But that 'you' I want to know!
My heat does not generate deceit...
In my eyes.
They can't!
You've got my nose wide open!
And you can rely on that to be devoted.
It has to show...
You melt me.
Not that you might already suspect,
The obviousness of it!
There is an...
Obviousness of it!
There is,
An obviousness of it!
Obviousness of it!
I.

There.

Them...Selves
Those who have distanced 'themselves',
From the ones who spoke truth.
And embarrassed those distanced,
Who remain sustaining delusions...
About the lives they live.
And...
For 'who'?
Must feel today they are the ones,
That have been betrayed.
Afraid to be identified with 'them'!
When it is now 'them'...
Who have always been respected for who they are.
Them...
Selves!
With an identity,
They maintain and pride.
And have never tried to hide or lie,
The obvious!

Once From Their Sight 'Your' Treasures Leave
As long as someone 'assumes' there is a benefit,
You will be shown some aspect of respect.
By those who prioritize the feeding of their needs.
And you might be left to believe,
Any attention you receive from them...
Is a result of your radiant personality.
There is nothing wrong with 'your' perception.
If from them you now get a wished reception.
In an atmosphere of shared embellishments.
We all keep some delusions handy and accessible.
However,
This is generally the 'observed' scenerio:
If you have nothing others can value,
Or 'things' available that impress...
On sight and can be used.
To address 'their' hangups and insecurities?
No one is brave enough to face seriously.
You will not maintain their attention!
Listen...
Maybe with a mention of disgust on their lips.
That's just how it is when people are first taught,
To worship...
And 'prey'
On others with a solicitation that leeches,
In support of their greed!
This is felt as you will witness this.
Especially once from their sight,
'Your' treasures leave!
That's just how it is when people are first taught,
To worship...
And 'prey'
On others with a solicitation that leeches,
In support of their greed!
That's just how it is...
In the land of 'opportunity'.
Where the breeding of this has yet to cease.

Easier To Face Opposition
It is much easier to face opposition alone,
Than to remain in a mental state of stagnation...
Amongst those who have chosen to stay,
Fixed in positions to restrict themselves from growth.
With a blaming of others who attempt to do something,
Much more than quoting scriptures.
And defending their fears while doing absolutely nothing,
To improve their negative outlooks on lives they condone...
That feeds into their own suppression they keep validated.

Maintain Your Defense
Whatever you do,
Maintain your defense...
Against those who critique.
With a battling done.
By the use of weapons!
Delivered and supplied,
On the tip of embittered tongues.
Do not let that weaken.
And get underneath your skin.
Not at the expense of you losing sleep.
Or keeping your mind unable to be at peace.
Whatever you do,
Maintain your defense...
Against those who critique.
Recognize those insecurities,
Worn upon their needing to be fed egos.
Come to realize,
Your potential may be despised.
And jealousy and envy,
Are often hidden and disguised.
Where is the support that has been aborted?
Where is that brotherhood sought and proclaimed?
Where is that need for unity?
And 'why' do those pretensions remain sustained?

No Votes For You
A nobody is who we need.
Not a puppet on some strings.
A choice vote
A angry vote
An absence of vote
Some choice words
To those elitist who think its funny.
Screw your money.
You do not have my support
No matter your tactics of resort.
Splash the t.v. screens with images of nothing but you
An idol, A hero
If that was only so
But We Know! ! !
This is my slogan.
Let it take effect in the hearts and minds of the people who brought you to power.
With promises of well wishes.
That never happened.
A disabled man with no legs can't even afford his own medicine
Life sustaining, Life needing
Screw your health care.
With words utter under my breath.
I see your mess.
It's even worse then the last.
The undereducated are becoming educated very fast.
Beautiful internet
She teaches in ways that you can only hope to destroy
Cuts in education, what a revelation.
You words are heard only with stagnation
You claims of spending to save the economy utter bullshit
Nothing is made in America anymore.
So who are we really supporting.
Keeping a job for the minimum wage slob.
But what about those thousand of jobs overseas.
One for you and me.
What a specialty
Its the deal of century.
Well I will not support such a name
That is completely insane

An Obviousness That Is Set Into Motion
When it becomes easier to belittle,
Someone's achievements...
From a hidden jealousy,
And for despiteful reasons.
That begins to expose an obviousness!
An obviousness that is set into motion.
An unintended and indirect promotion begins.
And degrading patronizing statements made,
Only propels those who excell...
To a wider appeal with more adulation.
With character assassinations,
Dooming the ones who initiate them.

Water Anew
From mountain high to valley low, the warmth of springs thaw runoff comes clear cold water from the melting snow.
Spring rain, cool and clear, mist and fog, early morning's dew, creeks, rivers, lakes renew.
Though mud stained from the thaw, the water soon will clear, life sustaining, life anew.
With summer weather comes light or heavy rains, sprinkle, mist or fog, life sustaining, life anew.
With autumn arrives the cold, then frost, soon after winter follows, sleet and snow, water turns to ice.
Though covered with ice and winters snow, the water in creeks, rivers and lakes renew until springs thaw, the water still flows.
Whether spring, summer, autumn or winter, water, life sustaining, life anew.

Fears For Fears
Death promises nothing for me
And I don't expect nothing from death
Either than pain and sorrows
Fears for fears
Live in me
When I walk late at night on the road
Because I never know what can happen to me
But I believe that God is always on my side
Fears for fears
I will never trust the promises of a lazy man
Fears for fears
I will drink the one
With my food
So that I can give gheers to my God
Fears for fears
I don't fear the thunder or lightning
Fears for fears
The pond is home to all ducks
Because all the ducks lives in the pond
Swimming away
Fears for fears
What more can I give to God
Than myself
Fears for fears
The paths are not clear of the snow
In the winter
In the city where I live
Fears for fears
The harbour is so quiet during the winter
Because no boats are in the harbour during the winter
And everything sleeps away in the harbour
Also the night comes early during the winter months
But summer is different
Because the light shines all day
Fears for fears
Our bodies are made of water
And we need water to survive in this heat

If You Feed It Good
If you feed it good...
It stays fresh.
It stays the best,
One can get!
Yes.
And,
If you feed it good...
It stays fresh.
It stays the best,
One can get!
Yes,
Feed it good...
And it stays fresh.
It stays the best,
One can get!
I'm not gonna mock you anymore,
'Cause you're good to me.
You don't have to knock,
On that unlocked door.
No more...
I'll rock your needs
When we get it heated! .
Now,
If you feed it good...
It stays fresh.
It stays the best,
One can get!
Yes,
Feed it good...
It stays fresh.
It stays the best,
One can get!
Yes,
Just feed it good...
And it stays fresh.
It stays the best,
One can get!
Don't shout or scream,
To be mean and demean.
I'm not your enemy.
Nor do I owe a thing....
To ya!
You can pout with a frown,
Thinking it will bring me down.
To be around...
For your clown count!
To the ground.
But,
If you feed it good...
It stays fresh.
It stays the best,
One can get!
Yes,
Feed it real good...
It stays fresh.
It stays the best,
One can get!
Just,
Feed it good...
And it stays fresh.
It stays the best,
One can get!
Keep that in your head,
And let it feed real good!
Like it should.
Feed it good.
Keep that in your head,
And let it feed real good!
Like it should.
Feed it good.
Yes,
Feed it real good...
It stays fresh.
It stays the best,
One can get!
And,
Keep that in your head,
And let it feed real good!

Meant
With souls entwined,
Hurt's left behind,
As we've refined,
The weak resigned,
All those afraid,
Find hopes mislaid,
For risks unmade,
Leaves love decayed,
When led astray,
Through grave dismay,
We know someday,
Woes shall allay,
All we regain,
We shall maintain,
Fears shan't restrain,
Bliss shall remain.

A wish to stay
Can you live sincerely away for no reason?
Can you find any stone heart person?
Who will prefer to stay away and still love?
Can any one take his words granted and believe?
No love can last long and still remain in tact?
This can not be denied as truth or fact
It has its on relevence and logic
It has got tremandous force and basic
What else can be the positive side?
How ther can be pserception so wide?
It can’t be seen as positive trend
This can not last long as friend
There has to spring after autumn
The promise is to be givn as solemn
Any negative thought has to be condemned
The person should be publically canned
The days of loy can not come to an end easily
They have to be spent merrily and happily
The days can not be compared on day to day basis
The seperation must be resisted as clear emphasis
You can have easy pass with fun
You got to maintain it for long run
You can’t stay away for longer
It is not appreciated any longer
You can remain away for some reasons
You can stay away without caring for seasons
But absence can cause some serious rift
There should not be any visible shift
It is difficult to maintain relation at long distance
You must have strategy and clear stance
There are number of breaks as instances
This can prove as major hinderences
It must be avoided at all costs
The relation should not be allowed to frost
It is one time alliance and must be preserved
The sanctitiy of the bond must be observed

There Are Those Who Irritate
in the same manner
there are those who are not irritated
they know how to maintain
poise
despite the storm
to be sensible despite
the plagiarism
they become more of themselves
as others
go beyond their nature
they are silent when you speak
they remain silent
even if you are silent too
oh, they are just themselves
despite the
volcanic eruptions
oh, they remain calm
even if
all are screaming
running
even if the world is dead
they remain
growing like moss
like lichens
like cockroaches like flies.

Kickin' Fear
Hold up, you movin too slow,
you've got to make the evening blow...
Just kickin' down the fears,
lookin' for fun and feelin' o' clear...
Hello Met(llica) , what's cha knowing,
I've come to teach you growin'
Ain't cha got no rhymes for me,

Hold up, you movin too slow,

Just kickin' down the fears,

I've got no weads to smoke, no grass to keep
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep
Let the morning time dropp all its worries on me
Hold up, you movin too slow,
you've got to make the evening blow...
Just kickin' down the fears,
lookin' for fun and feelin' o' clear...

Is man really courageous?
Is man really courageous?
He who says so
Must be lunatic.
Man fears life,
He fears death,
He fears disease,
He fears failure
And sometimes his success also,
He fears the truth,
He fears honesty,
He fears God
But on his terms,
And above all
He fears himself.
So why should he be called
A courageous?

It Came To Appear On One's Agenda
Fear of losing something,
One claims to own...
Has already been lost,
When fear made it clear...
It came to appear on one's agenda.
And made sure it was known,
As the one thing to prioritize.
With the strength of doubt,
To keep it right where it is!
On top and kept as a reminder.
