There 'Is' a Tremendous Difference
Somebody's always finding,
Something to open minds.
A gap, a crack or crevice,
That knits a loophole!
Found discovered and it is told.
Some regret these found connections,
Of existing loopholes known.
And many angry get more bitter,
Just because those loopholes...
Expose and show what no one knows.
Some regret these found connections,
Of existing loopholes known.
And many angry get more bitter,
Just because those loopholes...
Expose and show what no one knows.
As opening eyes break down closed doors.
Who's whistle blew to undo the knots,
With a snooping through those loopholes.
Who sat and watched the loopholes drop...
To expose and show those loopholes.
Those existing loopholes found,
Could ground the ones who boldly hold...
Amongst themselves maintained control.
Somebody's always finding,
Something to open minds.
A gap, a crack or crevice,
That knits a loophole!
Found discovered and it is told.
Those existing loopholes found,
Could ground the ones who boldly hold...
Amongst themselves maintained control.
And rarely does a loophole drop,
To unload what comes from poopholes!
There 'is' a tremendous difference.
Depending on one's choice of perception.

Loopholes
It's known and shown,
Those habits grown.
You come too early,
And you...
Announce you can't stay late.
But then,
Every minute you're around...
You hesitate to conversate.
What is it you're wishing?
Should we investigate?
Are you wishing we dish less?
Does this irritate?
You're living a life that's full of loopholes you hold.
You need to lick them quick.
Get rid of those sitting to nitpick.
You're living a life that's full of loopholes you hold.
Let them slip through your lips.
And live a life that benefits.

An Array And Plethora
An array and plethora,
Of love...
Is too diverse for me.
I like it,
Directly!
An array and plethora,
Of love...
Is too diverse for me.
I need it,
More directly!
I want to know that which is given,
Has no loopholes I could miss.
I want to know my feelings felt,
Aren't pushed aside to dust on shelves.
An array and plethora,
Of love...
Is too diverse for me.
I like it,
Directly!
When I'm wrapped in a hug,
And my lips are kissed...
I like it,
Directly!
When I see eyes on me melt with mist.
I like this...
Directly!
I like to know that which is given,
Has no loopholes I could miss.
Oh,
I like it more directly.
I like to know that which is given,
Has no loopholes I could miss.
And...
I like it more directly.

The American people likewise want to see enforcement first, no tricks, no triggers, no amnesty, enforcing existing laws and closing loopholes to reaffirm that our great Republic is, in fact, a nation of laws.

Repo
I had my headaches repo-ed...
Yes repossessed.
And closed up all those loopholes.
Right off my chest.
I had my headaches repo-ed...
And took my heart off a lease,
That leeched upon my peace.
Repo-ed!
I rid myself of all burdens,
I was told I had to keep!
And took my heart off a lease,
That leeched upon my peace.
Goodbye to all that stuff on my back,
To release.
My freedom got too crowded out,
And that bothered me.
I got up one morning,
To review worth and stock.
My dividends were wearing thin,
And that had to stop.
With investments spent in groaning,
And I heard that a lot!
Repo-ed!
I rid myself of all burdens,
I was told I had to keep!
And took my heart off a lease,
That leeched upon my peace.
I had my headaches repo-ed...
Yes repossessed.
And closed up all those loopholes.
Right off my chest.
Oh yes,
I confess...
I had a repo.
Yes a repossession
My headaches repo-ed...
Right off my chest.
Yes,
Repo-ed!
And glad I got that repossessed...
With every stress I had possess,
To go...
And with a repo.

Oh, she just happened to be a friend of the producer's. Or, oh, they've been trying to get her from the beginning and she just had a spot open up. There are always little loopholes, so I don't take anything personally anymore.

Manipulators Manipulating Manipulate
Manipulators manipulating manipulate.
Once they've uncovered loopholes,
With a fascination to undo and dilute...
A taste to undermine a process that eliminates,
Valued time and the use of it...
Others do not avoid to find,
To escape its implementation...
By the use of finesse and degradation.
Manipulators manipulating manipulate.
And once they have found the tools to do this,
All that which had integrity becomes abused.
Heights are reached by duping fools.
And those unaware of what it is manipulators do,
Never suspect their minds have been confused...
By the absence of respect diffused,
That blindly goes undetected by those most affected.

Fair Tax Plan
a fair tax plan:
(based on a family of four)
0 - 20,000 = 0 percent (poverty)
20,000 - 30,000 2.5%
30,000 - 40,000 5%
40,000 - 50,000 7.5%
50,000 up to - 10 %
250,000 up - 12.5%
take the load off of the poor,
and put it where it belongs!
no loopholes!
make adjustments for single payers,
and families of different sizes!

Drones Dropping Death And Aerial Hunters
One could compare ethically unconscious trophy seeking
hunters riding shotgun in helicopters as they blast
away at terrorized creatures on the ground to
the unmanned drones which shoot Pakistanis and Afghanis from the air.

Palin's wholesale violation of US federal law in creating loopholes for aerial hunting
was one of thousands of factors in the defeat of McCain.

Intricate Stitching
No one can enforce another,
To see what their mind continually skips.
Whether done purposely or by habit,
No one should feel obligated to do this.
A game played is more popular to attend,
Than one seen absorbed in following the rules.
Or if improvement is needed,
To rid from the use of foolish loopholes.
As long as a perception is fed,
Few are concerned with the details of the pattern.
Or the intricate stitching that keeps it all together,
Fitting to enable the design of it to exist.

Game
It is a game
Between you and me
And it is fact
We both loose
And admit defeat
And we both enjoy
by selfdeclaration
We won.
It is a game
And it can not be
Explained as before
We both responsible
For any loopholes
And become fools
It is a game
We are in shame
It is not being
Played and nobody
Can say successful.

Will Future Torture Or Enrapture?
Future is unknown
Nothing about it is shown
And so future we do not own
So confusion has grown
Now we may plan
But, God may ban
We may think we can
But God is superior to man
We can never predict
As fate will contradict
Through a different verdict
But, God, we cannot indict
Future is a guarded secret
Which may give a regret
Or success we may get
None can know it, I bet
For future if we carefully save
We will not be poverty's slave
We will not maroon in worry-wave
We can in life very boldly behave
If our plans have loopholes
We will have dolorous souls
Will be perforated our goals
Our losses, the World condoles
Plans can be for future made
With the hope of getting shade
All our duties we must not evade
Real grit must be by us displayed
Future is surely an uncertainty
It may give calamity or equanimity
Hoping has got an excellent utility
Future is safe via a sterling quality
Future will become excellent
If using of present is intelligent
Better to be in life boldly nonchalant
Calmly waiting is in itself a fine talent
As a secret let future remain
Let us postpone our pain
If it becomes a gain
We will feel immensely fine

Sonnet: Must We?
Must we send men to moon when some had quit?
Must we spend such huge sums on deterrence?
Must we ignore the corrupted who sit?
Must we hold criminals with reverence?
Must we neglect the common man’s future?
Must we allow loopholes in laws of land?
Must we abandon our Mother Nature?
Must we not rich and poor walk, hand in hand?
Must we allow the population boom?
Must we deny men basic human rights?
Must we to politics give much more room?
Must we sleep on with current-cuts at night?
Must we belittle our nation’s prestige?
Must we become just a global vestige?

a world yet saved Pt.2
When | we look at Christ...
...here's what we see:
a world void of fog,
a world void of slack,
a world void of loopholes and riches and gain.
a world blessed with loss,
a world blessed with hope,
a world blessed with GOD'S word and HIS cross and life.
Found You Now
(g. numan/r. palmer)
I know that you already take as read
I helped you and lost the back of my hand
I wished that we were enchanted
Girl now I take if for granted
Your love was staring me right in the heart
Why does our pride make us wait
While I was wondering where to start
You were there to show me all I had to learn
We were way off the mark
Must have been in the dark
Found you now
Finding light in the ease
With which we reach indecision
I guess we lived in the meantime
till we remembered our first lines
We must have missed our turn
Still got a lot to learn
Found you now
So now we live a life of give and take
Day by day we dont control where it leads us
If we compare the first day we met
I must admit nothings changed
I recognise only one regret
Lifes embarrasements, unexpressed
Found you now, Ive found you now
Found you now, Ive found you now

Sonnet: The Accursed
Accursed are those who play with innocent lives;
Accursed are those who bring ruin on earth;
Accursed are those by whom progress nose-dives;
Accursed are those who cut life’s-thread and breath.
Accursed are those who bring the country down;
Accursed are those betraying motherland;
Accursed are those who kith and kin disown;
Accursed are those who have a traitor’s hand.
Accursed are the unpatriotic souls;
Accursed are bureaucrats who are corrupt;
Accursed are those who use/ misuse loopholes;
Accursed are those who good things interrupt.
Accursed are persons who don’t love their land;
Accursed are those men who need reprimand.

Is It Any Wonder
Turn me down
To the ground
I want to feel the coolness on my face
Lie me down
Show me how
I can begin to hold you endlessly
I don't sleep
So I don't dream of leaving
And when I wake I face the night
And I don't speak
I listen to the breathing
I sometimes think I hear my fate
So is it any wonder
That I'm finding someone in this place here next to me
And is it any wonder
That we found each other
I've found another who meets the same
Is it any wonder
Don't explain by it's name
We write our words forever in the space
Who could say
Chance again
Chooses to bring together you and me
Now I don't sleep so I don't dream of leaving
I lie awake and face the night
I lie awake and dream of you
So is it any wonder
that I'm finding someone in this place here next to me
And is it and wonder that you made it here
We found another who meets the same
And is it any wonder that I'm finding someone in this place here next to me
Is it any wonder
that we found each other
We found another who meets the same

Emerging From The Darkness
First I am baited to debate my beliefs.
Crucified I am when my facts are released.
Then someone decides my opinions have been correct.
Now my opponents are loosening their grips around my neck.
Hoping to masquerade themselves as crusaders.
And not the thieves many are beginning to suspect,
As thoughtless creatures, self-centered with no respect.
Truth is emerging from the darkness to be exposed to light.
And I haven't budged at all from those insights I know are right.
I don't mask loopholes with pretense they don't exist.
Nor am I here to protect those rich,
From dipping further into their pockets to assist those in ditches.
Those unable to switch from caviar,
Or beef skewered shish-kebobs rotorized on thick sticks!
