A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue, but moderation in principle is always a vice.

On this subject I do not which to think, or speak, or write, with moderation. No No Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen but urge me not to use moderation in a cause like the present. I am in earnest I will not equivocate I will not retreat a single inch and I will be heard.

Former and Latter
If I Weep,
I want
it to be Torrents;
if I Cry, ,
make it Tsunami;
if I Lust
have me be Ravenous;
If Sad,
have my eyes
Glow in the Dark.
Empathy for me
must be Complete;
Love All Consuming;
Pity must be
the Heights of Grief;
Death must be
Really Dead.
No half way measures;
they are the Necro-Nibbles of Life.
The Greeks counseled
Moderation in all things
but they did not;
Democracy is an extreme
form of Individualism
and Sexually they
did not
cease at the Moderation Crease.
The Truth here
is that Creativity
only comes at the extremes
but not without its price;
one that I will pay
for an Extreme Life
rather than the alternative-
Slow Moderate Death.
These are sometimes
choices we make;
giddy Risky Risk
or Slow Suffocation;
or being mugged in life
slow frame
by slow frame.
Put me down
for the former
you can take the latter.

There has been a tendency through the years for reason and moderation to prevail as long as things are going tolerably well or as long as our problems seem clear and finite and manageable.

Moderation I
Of all the many treasures
that fill my treasure chest
One of all I cherish
More dearly than the rest
Her name is Moderation
Moderation in all things
And men and Nature prosper
where she unfurls her wings.
She is fair as a flower
the dewy dropp begems
or like a morning pure and clear
the starry night indemns.
or even like the Morning Star
that pranks the new-borne sky
and flicks its beams more brightly-far
as nearby diamonds die.
The evening she presides on
is broken by the day
as breaks the wave on Baie sand
that's born on Baie's bay.
Her morning hours tick slowly
and dawdle pleasantly
as loathe to leave unladen
with fruits of husbandry.
Always clear her windows
Cream is sweet in the bowl
A maelstrom could not rattle
her servant's inward idyl.
Two smocks only has she-
one fine for Sunday wear
yet put her by the lily
and say which is the fairer.
She will shrink from nothing
no sport or raillery
or nearly none, repels her
but only its degree.

Moderation II
She might converse with angels
as with a fool or clown
and might well chat with blackguards
but turns their mischief down.
And she might now a dropp taste
but knows what a cork is for
for every dropp admitted
resisted a score score.
Wise men entertain her
and though she owns no home
is welcome at their tables
whereever she may roam.
Her eldest child is winter-born
his name is Industry
Her youngest, May-born Mercy mild,
who speaks best with her eyes.
Time but improves her-
she is easlier lovlier now
than when I introduced her
some twenty years ago.
Oh, I'm a rogue and a scoundrel
and a pleasure-driven fool
but I love Moderation
she is my clearest jewel!
I love you, Moderation
and mean to love you more
and if it's blessed I come to be
it's you I'll thank it for.

Life
Life, each and everyone
Practice in their own ways
And everyone can say,
Too much of good is bad
Standing in the middle of road
Everyone will get smashed
Without knowing on which side
To stand in running path of life
The blessing of god is great
With the lovely time of life
Things done in moderation
So we can live free life.

Never go to excess, but let moderation be your guide.
Moderation
A message to the third heaven,
My blindness is now removed;
A message to the third heaven,
With written credentials in the depth of love;
For now i can clearly see.
Phrygia, Pamphylia and Egypt;
I can now see very clearly on this love like,
A message to the beautiful gate of love.
My heart is for you and i am with joy!
So let your moderation be known to all;
Like the message to your beautiful gate of love.
My tongue is glad and my heart is at peace,
Like a message to your beautiful gate of love;
My heart is with joy and my mind is full of your blues,
But let your moderation be known on this love;
Like the crown of rejoicing after the blue movies.
I am he whom you do seek,
Of the stars of joy and the mark of love;
Behold! My mind do seek you too.
