Quarterly Review (Revised)
Did not sing in key, made so many mistakes, changed
the wrong things, did not find musical tonality required,
missed references, inserted others that should have
been left out
In spite of a new system inhibitor to prevent too much
adrenaline in my central nervous system, I still lost the
plot, can't continue translating, feeling bad with a
headache, my mind confused
I want so much to be an asset to our team but my dream
is in abeyance - ‘Wanting is a good thing' my guru says,
but it did not help me to do my work well and present a
neatly finished assessment document
The worst is the feeling of being a criminal

I therefore believe that our system does not have a word for failed trial, and that is where the American public does not realize that our criminal justice system sometimes makes mistakes.

Man a system of the Divine
man is just a system of God
the image he breathes into
that since has been blessed
wiith a stake in the heavens
man is a spiritual side of God
carrying an earthy facade
- well he is made of dust -
that refuses to set his spirit free
man is just a system of God
who wishes to take him up
to him with the dignity of a
God made - one who has
left behind the the animal in him
man is just a system of God
for when the Almighty fumes
he can easily feel his Spirit
distancing from him, his mind
wondering whereforth he has
done wrong, or whereforth
his love ones have gone wrong

Gratitiude
Good times gone but you missed them
What's gone wrong in your system
Things they bounce just like a spaulding
What'd you think you miss your calling
It's so free this kind of feeling
It's like life it's so appealing
When you got so much to say
It's called gratitude
Good times gone but you feed it
Hate's grown strong you feel you need it
Just one thing do you know
What you think that the world owes you
What's gonna set you free
Look inside and you'll see
When you got so much to say
It's called gratitude

Lost and Confuse In My Thoughts
i see guys as just wanting one thing,
sex,
it's seem to be all they think about,
and all they want from a girl,
don't know why i continue to punish myself,
i know i don't deserve this,
but at the same time,
i love the high that i get,
maybe that why i'm not relationship materal,
i can't handle being with just one guy,
i need to feel alive in the relationship,
and just having that one that cares for me,
start to feel suffocating at times,
they know all about you,
your good and your bad,
well i even share that much,
at times i feel like i'm living,
two different lives,
one where i be this perfect girlfriend,
nothing bothers me,
i know what i want kind of person,
than the other life is,
i'm anything you like,
personality and all,
i become there dream girl,
transform into what guys like,
the dream world seems so much better than reality,
reality has too many problems,
i hate being this girl,
i feel like a girl that got lost,
when she was trying to find her way through life,
confused, lonely, used,
what more can i add,
this don't feel like living,
but i'm so numb,
i don't even know what to feel,
and yet it's a life, i continue to live,
it feels normal,
how do you learn to love,
when feeling certain emotions feel wrong,
i feel like i'm broken,
and nobody can put me back together.

A Miracle Day
A miracle day, the miracle I dreamt of
happened - I enjoyed translating my
document, such fun to find legal term
equivalents - impossible to determine
what brought this about - I only know
the stone in my chest changed into a
warm, beating, loving heart and every
successive moment just became more
beautiful, every step was a privilege, I
was too scared to enjoy it too much -
scared that it would be lost too soon,
a perfect day simply because my
feelings changed - this emotional
state should continue indefinitely!

Experience Week Song
Saturday morning experience week
Im so nervous I can hardly speak
Arrive at cluny hill half past ten
Almost turned and went home again
Yes, I almost turned and went home again
My focaliser showed me my room
Felt like she was consigning me to my doom
What am I doing here? whats going on?
Who are these people? what are they on?
Who are these people? what are they on?
Heres comes my roommate, he sure looks weird
Wild black hair and a big fuzzy beard
I met the rest of the group after lunch
What a strange and motley bunch
What a strange and motley bunch
Come sunday morning, Im feeling bad
Enjoyed the dancing but now Im sad
Things feel different dont know why
Feeling lonely, want to cry
Feeling lonely, want to cry
Monday morning, learned everybodys names
We go down to the ballroom to play some games
Something happened I can barely describe
Changed my feelings, changed my life
Changed my feelings, changed my life
Tuesday morning with a hoover in my hand
Cleaning out the dining room, beginning to understand
Tuning in, tuning out
Starting to see what findhorn is all about
Starting to see what findhorn is all about
Wednesday morning in the winter sunshine
Down to cullerne gardens and everybodys feeling fine
This wonderful place as smooth as a dream
Where eleven strangers become a team
Where eleven strangers just become a team
Thursday morning at a quarter past three
Im wide-awake in the sanctuary
Opening myself to the love and a light
Thanking God for steering me right
Thanking God for steering me right
So now its friday almost time to go home
And back into the big wide world I must roam
But Ill take it with me every single thing
Send it out with every song I sing
Send it out with every song I sing
So thats the tale of my experience week
It was beautiful and it was unique
It made me friends and it opened my heart
This isnt the end -- its just the start!

I Didn't Express That Assessment
I will never find you trustworthy.
'Why?
Because I have the right to change my mind,
When I decide?
And I am not concrete in any decision I make,
To declare I've made one to keep?
And I have never did anything to prove I have integrity? '
That's my feeling about you exactly.
'Well...
Everyone has a right to express their own opinion.
Even though I may not agree to that assessment,
You have of me.'
Remember...
I didn't express that assessment.
You just made it easier not to argue with you.

You Are In My System
Day by day and night by night
I feel you in my mind
It happens all the time
You know the day dreams stop
My heart beats on
I cant take it any more
It's you I live for
You are in my system
You are in my system
I just want you to know that,
You are in my system
You oooohhhh youre in my system, system
Dont you, Dont you, dont you know that, babe.
I will keep on pushing, pushing, pushing
Until I get through
My main objective baby is to get to you
To turn your mind around
I know will take time
But you know I can wait, now
Youre on my mind
You are in my system
I just want you to know that,
You are in my system
Got me burning, Im on fire
You, youre in my system
Youre everything I need
You, oooohhhh, youre in my system, system
Dont you, Dont you, dont you know that, babe.
Its a romantic vision of me and you
It happens all the time
My dreams are filled with you
Theres no doubt in my mind
That Ill be true baby
You know Ill take you out
And Ill keep lovin you
Oh baby you are in my system,
I just want you to know that
You are in my system
Cut me right down to the wire
You, ooohh, youre in my system
Got me burning Im on fire
You, youre in my system
Cant make believe
You, youre in my system
Youre everything I need
You, Ooohh, youre in my system
I just want you to know that
You, youre my system
Got me burning Im on fire
You, youre in my system

D8
he never thought
that he can reach this point,
never in his mind
did he think that he is a lucky person
reaching the summit
and feeling the
coldest air
the fog beside him
the grave silence
of the stones below his feet
the howling cliffs
up here
he is the most lucky person
to understand
what loneliness is all about
and the people below
those who think that the plains are
low levels
and not worth their brief
stay here on
dusty roads and
arid deserts
look at to him as
an idol
and always mention them
to their children
that he is an epitome
of success
the man who made it
from rags to
riches
all the while he is thinking
something's wrong
with this system
something must be
changed
someone must be made
responsible
the belief systems are
all wrong.

Diagnosis
for David Lehman
I woke up this morning feeling
incredibly Gorky. So I made an appointment
to see my Doctorow. He said my Hemingways
looked a little swollen and sent me to
get an M.R. James and a complete Shakespeare.
By that time, I began feeling a slight Trilling
in my Dickinsons and some minor Kipling
in my left Auden. The entire experience
was extremely Dickey.
I was referred to an H.D., who asked
about my cummings. She detected traces
of Plath in my Sextons and suggested
I might also have some Updike
trapped in my Yeatsian system.
She recommended that to keep Orwell
and prevent inflammation to my Balzac,
I elevate my Flaubert once a day.

A Change In Mind
It is not always by chance
It takes place with reason at once
Some tragedy occur with mind’s absence
It must be tackled with deep sense
You can learn from past mistakes
Even though there may be more at stake
Some worries may keep you always awake
You will be on hunt to find out what is true or fake
Things may not go always wrong
It can not be brushed aside as cheap song
Some price you have to pay for its lapses
You can do nothing except for eye brows to raise
Good things fall apart with so much fear
Bad things remain for us to bear
We will appreciate and learn it later
It is always nice to adjust it for better
Everything can be changed except sick mind
It will not adapt to good change or place to find
It will think of enough of loop holes and escapes
It will continue to break, shape and reshape
If little work is done to stable the idle mind
It may save us from going blind
It will help to stave off ugly situation
There will be easy path with progressive continuation

Dear Father

(originally released in 1970 as a single, not included on time and a word)
Here are the books
Of luke
You*ll need them
To open the seed
To see what goes on in the world
You*re in my mind
Catch the wind and hold on tight
To what we*ll find
And hear what goes on in the world
Here is all you see
Everything is made for you
From me
If there*s anything you*d like to say
That could help me in any way
Cause i*ve been waiting for so long for you to come along
Help me on that day
When you*d take over all the things heaven has made for you
Is there anything you think you should know?
Is there anything before I go?
Dear father, i*m hungry, i*m cold
Dear father, feeling terribly old
Dear father, I don*t think I can see
I*m not feeling good like I think I should
They*re on their own
Needing their face, a place
Hope....home
To see what goes on in the world
They*re who you need
To show them why they*re wrong
Oh why indeed
We need to go on in the world
Here is all you see
Everything is made for you
From me
If there*s any complication
That you*d like to talk over with me about
Cause i*ve been waiting for so long
For you to come along
We can work it all out
When you take over all the things heaven has made for you
Is there anything you think you should know
Is there anything before I go
Dear father, you must be putting me on
Dear father, cause most of their minds are gone
Dear father, they will not understand me
I*m not feeling good like I think I should
Dear father, can I give it a miss
Dear father, cause i*m not ready for this
Dear father, I don*t think I can see
I*m not feeling good like I think I should
Dear father, won*t you leave me alone
Dear father, won*t you to let me go home
Dear father, I don*t think I can see
Dear father, won*t they crucify me
Dear father, I just couldn*t do that
Dear father, cause that*s not where it*s at now (hey)

System Of Life
Now its time to look in your eyes
Youre so much better its no surprise
Its like a mirror is watching you
Maybe the words been broken - dont be no fool
Following the lights you see like a rolling train
Yesterday is gone - tomorrows in your hands
Something youve had is gone - dont wish it back
Let it go - dont run away - its nothing youll forget
You know the rules dont need no warning
Theres only one way to find the clue
Inside you so let it go
System of life - be the hunted or the hunter
System of life
System of life - its always by your side
System of life - the one and only way to live in harmony
Dont paint a picture full of love and hate
Paradise is here - but exceptions prove the rules
Sometimes it feels just like a dream becoming true
Close your eyes - look inside - it will never be the same
cause for your life there aint no warning
So stand up and fight to find the clue
So watch out you live and learn
Its the
System of life - be the broken or the breaker
System of life
Its the
System of life - its always real and true
System of life - the one and only way to live in harmony
Yeah - yeah
Oh, its the
System of life - be the hunted or the hunter
System of life
Its the
System of life - its always by your side
System of life - the one and only way to live in harmony
Its the
System of life - be the taken or the taker
System of life
Its the
System of life - its always real and true

I'm feeling all alone
I've always said this is a big big world
And now I'm lost in this world
Lost feeling...
Lost love...
Lost and confused,
Even broken and used.
Lost everything for love
I'm so lost
Im dying inside
When trus is lost, how can things,
move forward?
I'm feeling all alone
I'm lost in my feelings
I'm lost in everything.
I los him...
I los his heart.
Wanted to write a poem
But lost the words
I've lost everything and I don't,
Know why.
I'm lost in this world
My mind is lost
I cant seem to trust anyone
Thoughts of nothing
No dreams or goals
I'm lost in this world.
