Under the Sun
Under the sun is a reason and a run,
Forming clever tactics with the real one.
The moon is intelligent and wise
Like so many lies under the clear blue sky.
Many faces reveal many diverse views,
To learn those with art is a blessing.
The angelic voice calls out on the surface
Of this polite planet, and we emerge to be reunited
With family, with religion and opinion.

The spirit of our planet and family
spirituality and nature
Human nature is the key to a good heart,
I think the mother is a symbol of compassion,
And has taught us the value of compassion,
Everyone has a seed of a good heart,
Nature and our planet,
Is nothing special,
Nothing sacred,
Nothing holy,
We have a love for our house, our family,
We have no other planet,
We have no other house or family,
Except the one we live in,
Or family we have,
Disturbances and problems exist, on our planet,
Solve these problems and disturbances,
For we can not live on other planets,
The moon looks beautiful from a distance,
But we can not settle there, it would be horrible,
It is only my thoughts,
Now take our blue planet,
It is much better, and a happier place,
So take care of our planet,
Take care of our own place,
Take care of our house,
Take care of our families,
It is only my pondering,
On human nature,
Our blue planet,
Our house we live in,
Or the family we have,

True Lies
Where do you go after midnight
When all the doors should be closed
Your alibis just dont sound right
I asked but nobody knows
How can you look in the eyes
And make it sound so very nice
With those true lies
Someones been sleepin in my bed
This room dont smell like you and me
Whos that been sneakin out the window
Do you think Im too blind to see
When you look me in the eyes
And, make it sound so very nice
With those true lies
It was a clever disguise
But, girl, Im gettin wise
To your true lies
You been doin this so long now
Youre thinkin its the truth
I guess it dont seem so wrong if it
Aint bein done to you
Gotta lot to learn, baby,
You can keep it down
Word gets in the wind
Then its bound to blow back around
Girl, can you give me a reason
Bet you dont even know why
Cant figure out what youre thinkin
Or what it is youre tryin to justify
When you look me in the eyes
And make it sound so very nice
With your true lies
It was a clever disguise
But, girl, Im gettin wise
To your true lies
You can laugh, you can cry
But, girl, I just cant buy
Those true lies

Moon, We Look to You.
Moon, you have a shade of blue tonight –
Is it something that you saw or heard?
Only yesterday, your tone was proud and bright,
Yellow silver, full, and so assured.
Moon, despite the clarity of sky,
Metaphors of cloud that fluff with grey
Drift across your rounded face to spy;
Feeding back, there's awfully much to say.
Moon, you have a role to play up there –
We below must bear the earthly pain.
Duty bound, we shoulder sorrows fair –
You are free from our grotesque disdain.
Moon, we depend on you to shine
When the sun retires down below.
Add to that your grandest role divine:
Tidal Lord, to keep the seas in tow!
Moon, I hope you take to heart our plea –
Needless is the reason for your blue.
Beaming, you should give the night its glee:
We're despairing – so we look to you.

Want
he wants
or at least wishes
that everyone in the family
be intelligent,
but he knows, of course, this is
not possible at all,
some come out as morons
others turn out later to
be nincompoops,
some though with the way
they speak and write
spelling the words
correctly and
choosing the right words
under the proper
context with which they
are said
and meant, ...become
too promising
to appease what he calls
as bad karma to
the family,
they later give their
true colors,
yes, intelligent but
very corrupt,
at the end he leaves
everything to God,
asking though,
it this really what
it has to be?
a family of wrong
people
and hence somewhere
along the line
one must settle for
compromises
or just leave genetics
as is
and let evolution do
the selection
of who in the family
becomes fit
to survive
well that 's it
i get away from my
wishes
i simply watch the family
go by
like a story without an
expected ending.

Bugs On Our Skin
The bugs are the bugles of nature for some,
Hurting is their tip, forming a lack of power;
The bugs have diverse rules, never to understand
As their bite is on this date, and the craft is clear.
The minding of these insects is immense,
Slowly we bite them with our strategy and tactics,
It takes the army some, the reality beckons
But we are in shivers for the pain and suffering.
Huge bugs will define us, what are our habits?
Their forewings and hindwings can handle their flight
To ruin our skin, with their feeding habits.

Cleverness
Friendship,
Fellowship,
A clever boy sits among you;
And out of the smell came something sweet.
Of a dog and a monkey,
Of a goat and a donkey,
A clever girl sits among you;
And out of the smell came something sweet.
The character of man,
A clever man sits among you;
The character of woman,
A clever woman sits among you;
And out of the smell came something sweet.
A man marries and doesn't want children,
A woman marries and doesn't want children,
Like a stolen money tithed off!
For out of something very sad came hardship.
You have lost a limb on this war so,
Do keep your marriages according to the law;
You have lost an eye on this war so,
Be very wise like king david who was the seventh born;
You have lost your hearing from this war so,
Try to live at peace with others too;
For out of the smell came something sweet.
To feel touched when love calls,
From Yaaqob came the twelve tribes of Israyl;
But try to be like a new hewn stone.
And like the leadership of the sun god of the heathen,
Try to bring to your side always.
Respect all life forms and,
Reproduce and replenish the earth;
Like a wise woman sitting around you.
What you do with your life is your choice,
Like a wise man sitting around you;
But in this life, history do repeat itself.
You can correct this history with time,
But you need to know your direction;
Because, some things will never change!
Time moves on as man grows,
And out os something sweet came the baby;
But, real life means a lot to all of us.
Cleverness,
Of the time frame of life that swings around us;
With all that muses in peace and love,
But at times with the difficulties of life as well.
Be clever and do learn at all times,
For Rome was not built in a day.

The Price For Our Greed
Human Beings have invented computers and walked on the moon
But the Planet we live on we are trying to ruin
The greed of our kind may well be our downfall
We are not as great or as clever as we think we are after all
The natural beauty around us is for us all to enjoy
Yet the Planet that feeds us we are trying to destroy
Due to our carbon emissions the Polar Ice Caps melting causing sea levels to rise
We who think we are clever are not very wise
'Tis mostly of the economic depression we read of and hear
And climate change is something we do not seem to fear
Due to pollution the climate is changing from north to southern shore
Yet the warnings of Nature we tend to ignore
Global warming giving rise to climate change and it seems sad to say
That the price for our greed may be huge for to pay.

Testing From a Nest Infested
To ignore those who annoy,
Is a blessing.
A gift to resist the desires of those
Wishing conflict.
Gives a peace within.
And this will never be understood...
By those doing their best,
To attract others to their nonsense.
As they seek a confrontation,
Spiced with agitation.
Testing from a nest infested...
As a pest unrested.
And being aware of this,
Provides a mental lift.
Delivering one to a higher consciousness!
The one who views those who do this as misfits.
As tactics employed by a sleepless surface thinker,
Become useless like a broken toy discarded.
Fading its purpose,
To an ego enjoying limitations that do not nourish!
Or flourish beyond an irritation that has no affect.

Diverse Is Life Here, Is Only to Die worse?
Diverse this world looks,
Look at the green forests,
Look at the animals,
Diverse is living, world,
Only comes into life,
to Die worse!
Are men too, their diverse races,
Diverse thoughts,
Diverse nationality,
Diverse mentality,
Are this only to Die worse?
Some are selfish and ignorants,
Some are fantastic and fanatics,
Some are psychiatrists and some are their patients,
Some are physicians,
Some are with diseases,
Diverse is this world,
Only here all have to Die worse!
Some are good husbands
Some are good housewives,
Some quarrel and make worse,
And divorce,
Only to Die worse some day!
Some are sages,
Some work for wages,
Some dance and sing well on stages,
Some are teachers, some are pupils,
Diverse is this world,
All have to Die worse!
This earth is green and blue planet,
Not has any celestial danger yet,
Still men born here were half scientists,
The worked for some,
Yet nature reacted to all,
Diverse is science, only made,
Life better temporary
But truth is one has to live and die worse here,
Some are sages and buddhas,
Some are Lao Tzu and Taoist,
Some are communists, Marxist or Maoists,
Some or artists or some Are critics
Some are atheists,
Some are monoethists
Or polyethists,
Diverse is nature of men,
All have do die worse!
Some are missionaries,
Some are visionaries
Some are revolutionaries,
Some are ordinaries
Some are extra ordinaries,
All has die worse!
Some are innocents
Some are militants
Some are mutants
Some are scholars,
Some are school goers,
Diverse is nature all die here,
Some will try and live,
Yet they have to die,
But not die worse!
All are not alike only some strive hard,
refuse to Die Worse,
Live well and die well,
Only to dwell in the eternal truth!

No Religion
We didnt know no better, and they said it could be worse
Some people thought it was blessing
Other people think that its a curse
Its a choice between fact and fiction
And the whole world has gone astray
Thats why theres no religion, no religion, no religion here today
And theres no straight answers
Of what this thing called love is all about
Some say its unconditional
Other people just remain in doubt
Well I cleaned up my diction, I had nothing left to say
Except theres no religion, no religion, no religion here today
And they ask what hate is
Its just the other side of love
Some people want to give their enemies
Everything they think that they deserve
Some say why dont you love your neighbours
Go ahead, turn the other cheek
But theres nobody on this planet that can ever be so meek
And I cant bleed for you
You have to do it your own way
And theres no religion, no religion, no religion here today
And they ask what hate is
Its just the other side of love
Some people want to give their enemies
Everything they think that they deserve
Some say why dont you love your neighbours
Go ahead, turn the other cheek
But have you ever met anybody whos ever been the meek
And its so cruel to expect the saviour to save the day
And theres no religion, no religion, no religion here today
And theres no mystery, and theres nothing hidden
And theres no religion here today
And theres no religion, no religion, no religion here today

Wisely Love The Wise
The wise love wisely.
It’s said, that when the truly wise
surface from their sleep,
they see nought but heavenly blue
in which the world then gently, slowly shapes itself
as if this whole created world were but
a single act of love; and within that love,
their love is wisdom, knowledge, law;
as they emerge from their wise sleep,
this is what they are.
The wise love wisely; when they look at you,
(you who maybe meet them for
the first time; offer them perhaps
a flower from too hot a hand,
a fruit, a handkerchief…
or meet them by some heavenly accident,
they, like a comet through your life)
and their first so wise glance at you
sees nought but your perfection;
they do not doubt that you are they,
that they are you; and while they’re here
you share all this with them;
you’ve met yourself; for this
is what you are..
The wise are careful lovers
for love is care, and care is charity;
and yet the wise are widest, wildest,
most romantic lovers:
they throw, they strew their love
on all and every one and thing without a further thought,
offering simply, lawful freedom, happiness;
bidding love well as it flies away,
wishing you themself;
wishing you, yourself;
The wise love wisely;
for they know the secret law of love:
the more it’s given, the more there is
to give.
The wise love wisely;
so, they wear a wise disguise;
they look like you and me; because
we are that same disguise.

Doctor's Liking
I suppose the question he asked
Gave me a liking for him
As my doctoring resents anything
Like disease
And the falling into sin is itself
The clever disaster
That we imagine
Has arisen
Now.
I philosophically justify
The belief in my heart
And head.
The wishes describe a blessing
But he needs to heal
The wounds of his mind
And body.
Clever and intelligent
And old a regime
Of understanding
Best explains the future
And virtuosity
Of our system of thought.
Must we?
"Let the leg go! " he said.
I can not figure out
A solution to this problem.

Simple alarm
It is not simple alarm or aimless signal
It coveys powerful message in original
If we don’t wake up to the distress call
Buildings and palaces will collapse and fall
Not a single human being will survive
Return of cold age with no sign of life
Nature seems turning against with fury
We can’t afford to be silent with luxury
Epic centers change their position
It seems this is beginning or transition
We may not believe in superstition
We can’t shun our eyes to the real composition
Millions loose their lives with sudden tragedy
Houses get destroyed as if to look as comedy
We watch it helplessly with no voice to rise
Accept the fate as it may not remain as surprise
It is not the quake alone that plays havoc
Earth is torn apart at many places or in block
Situation may arise when continents may submerge
New world map may appear as reality or emerge
We stand no chance to enjoy real nature
Many birds may not have habitat in future
No green grass for animals to graze
Sun rays may be all set to put everything ablaze
Whole world is reeling under severe cold
Miseries have increased many many folds
Cold waves sweep entire areas of globe
Who can stop this fury is only last hope?
Nothing can convince the world leaders
Only strong opinion can be asserted by readers
We should come forward with one voice
Except to raise the banners, we have no choice
Opinion or no opinion, we must come forward
This can be considered as real work for no reward
World may be saved from near extinction
We should have clear goal in mind without distinction

The Sea I Drive
Force my religion upon the sea I drive as waters,
That submerged become trouble for the east and west,
For north it encumbers the south, and for me southern
Accusations shall arouse anger into religion.
My reason for statements that belong to ice and colder
Types of water
Is obvious, blatant, one that is reason.
We have a sea and new religion, forming from the sockets
And the pens of scholarship.
Force the religious doctrines to make impact
Like the waves of the ocean beating horrendously
On the beams of the shore, I drive them too.
I love them and admire the crashes, the crashes.
Must we not crash into nobody but the sea?

Ch 08 On Rules For Conduct In Life - Maxim 05
The country is adorned by intelligent and the religion by virtuous men. Padshahs stand more in need of the advice of intelligent men than intelligent men of the proximity of padshahs.
If thou wilt listen to advice, padshah,
There is none better in all books than this:
‘Entrust a business to an intelligent man
Although it may not be his occupation.’
I think Douglas was a real one-off. He was so clever and so intelligent and so well read in real science that he could make science fiction work as well as it did. And just such fun to have around, he was just such a lovely man.

A Man Of A Thousand Faces
(music: marillion lyrics: john helmer)
Im the man of a thousand faces
A little piece of me in every part I take
I hold the tape for a thousand races
A different point of view in every speech I make
Cut me a piece of my divided soul
Cry me a river, call it rock and roll
Speak to a leader with the voice of command
And when I talk to God I know hell understand
I speak to machines with the voice of humanity
Ill speak to the wise with the voice of insanity
Im the man of a thousand faces
A little piece of me in every part I take
I hold the tape for a thousand races
A different point of view in every speech I make
Cut me a piece of my divided soul
Cry me a river, call it rock and roll
Give me an attitude and watch me make it lie
Pass me a microphone
I need to testify
Well I speak to machines with the voice of humanity
Speak to the wise with the voice of insanity
Speak to the present in the past and future tense
Speak to a slave with the voice of obedience
Im the man of a thousand ages
You see my face in the stones of the parthenon
You hear my song in the babble of babylon
Im the man of a thousand riches
Be my guest at the feast of satyricon
You spend the money that my logos printed on
Well Ill speak to machines with the voice of humanity
Speak to the wise with the voice of insanity
Speak to the present in the past and future tense
Speak to a slave with the voice of obedience
I stole a fire but it burned up much too soon
I took a leap and I landed on the moon
Look at my life and it looks like cnn
You see something once yknow its gonna come around again
Well Ill speak to machines with the voice of humanity
Speak to the wise with the voice of insanity
Speak to a woman with the fatal charm of a snake
Forgive like a giver and account for all I take
Yes, I speak to machines with the voice of humanity
Speak to the wise with the voice of insanity
Speak like a leader with the voice of power and command
And when I talk to God I know hell understand
Cause Im the man of a thousand faces
Yes Im the man of a thousand faces
I stole a fire but it burned up too much too soon
I took a leap and I landed on the moon..
Voice of command
Voice of a snake
Voice of humanity
Voice of insanity
Voice of command
Voice of a snake
Voice of humanity
Voice of insanity
Voice of command
Voice of obedience
Thousand faces
Thousand races
Cry me a river
Face in the stars
Stones in the parthenon
Babble of babylon
Voice of command
Voice of a snake
Voice of humanity
Voice of insanity
Thousand faces
Thousand races
Cry me a river
Steal a fire
Face in the stars
Stones in the parthenon
Babble of babylon
Landed on the moon

In his eyes shone the reflection of the most beautiful planet in the Universe---a planet that is not too hot and not too cold; that has liquid water on the surface and where the gravity is just right for human beings and the atmosphere is perfect for them to breathe; where there are mountains and deserts and oceans and islands and forests and trees and birds and plants and animals and insects and people---lots and lots of people. Where there is life. Some of it, possibly, intelligent.
