A Discourse On The Sufferer....
i am extremely worried
about you
for you think that we are the cause
of your
sufferings
we shall give you that cure
we shall leave you
and we give you that choice
you may leave us
for good
it all depends on what light
you have
what dew is there
on the carpet's
leaf
for we do not want us to be your suffering
we know how to manage sorrow
we have outlived grief
we know the labyrinths of lamentations
we have gone beyond
sadness and joys
in fact, they do not have meaning anymore
except perhaps
a flower on our ears
a garland on our necks
a pair of slippers on our feet
when we do not have you
we know how to shut ourselves like doors
but we always leave you the key
and when the right time comes when you have learned
to go beyond the fences of those dark horizons
or of the walls of the threshold of tolerances
you may open the door again
do not knock
but we cannot assure you
that we shall be here forever
waiting for you
that will be too much for us to
give to you
we are the winds
and we always take chances somewhere
where we are loved
where we are not the cause of sufferings
and we have this trait of always
going somewhere
for us to stay
if you only know
is another suicide
of natural born
reason....

Leave Me Alone
The meaning of leave me alone...
Does not really mean to leave me alone,
Not to be alone in my loneliness.
But to leave me alone,
As I contemplate how long I will have you wait...
Until I'm ready to end your suffering.
Of course...
Someone has to suffer behind this childish activity.
And it's not going to be me.
I'm the one initiating the dismissal.
Therefore,
I'm entitled to at least grovel in thoughts
Someone actually cares I am acting like a child...
And will come to give me kisses!
BUT...
On my terms!
Now...
If I should suddenly hear the door open and slam close,
I am quick to spring to my feet to give chase.
However...
Do not allow me to do that,
And I discover you have done that to get my reaction!
I am quick to learn,
Just 'who' toys with my affections!
When I decide they are given!
Now,
Leave me alone!

One Good Reason
Give me one good reason
That I should care
Give me one good reason
And Ill be there
Like a thief youve stolen
Like rain on a grave
Like a priest whos spoken
But failed to save
Now the air is empty
And the ground the same
Love has gone to be buried
Beside my name
Give me one good reason
That I should care
Give me one good reason
And Ill be there
Why couldnt you have told me
About your liars kiss
I cant believe youd leave me
At a time like this
And the wind is howling
And its a dying dream
And my faith is silent
While my doubts scream
Give me one good reason
That I should care
Give me one good reason
And Ill be there
Give me one good reason
Give me one good reason
Give me one good reason
That I should care
Give me one good reason
Give me one good reason
Give me one good reason
That I should care
Give me one good reason
Give me one good reason
Give me one good reason
That I should care

Sonnet: Sufferings- the Key to Life
Through sufferings, we are born to lead this life;
Through sufferings, we are even baptized;
Through sufferings, we all must meet our strife;
Through sufferings, we’re even magnetized.
Through sufferings, sometimes we have our joy!
Through sufferings, we earn our livelihood;
Through sufferings, we grew to man from boy;
And sufferings’ our teacher from childhood!
Through sufferings, we learn in life good things;
Through sufferings, we learn to live well, pray!
Through sufferings, big truths, this world us brings;
By sufferings, we fight ‘gainst Tempter’s ways.
Yet, sufferings- a blessing God us gave,
To keep the road to Heaven, well behave!

Sonnet: Be Optimistic
Give me some wood and I will make a boat;
Give me more wood and I will build a ship;
Give me the cloth and I will stitch a coat;
Give me the years and I will make friendship.
Give me just mud and I will build a hut;
Give me cement and multi-storeys rise;
Give me my crosses; I'll keep my mouth shut;
Give me more sufferings, I'll keep of vice.
Give me courage to do away with strife;
Give me a job to earn my livelihood;
Give me the chances to succeed in life;
Give me the love I need in my childhood.
Give me something, I'll do accordingly;
Give me a spouse or I will live singly!

Leave Me Alone
Everybodys gonna try to tell you what to do, uhh-haa
And never, never, never, never, let it be said that its true
Oh-oh, hey, give it to my baby
Leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me alone
Leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me alone
Theyre the kind of people thatll always let you down
I know you, too, you dont ever give it a frown
Oh, do it, do it, now, do it, do it
Leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me alone
Get down, baby

Ah-ha-ha
Dont you know some people, they just dont know when to stop
Give it to me, now
They cant tell the floor from the ceiling or the top
And therere other types, they always make you wait
And theyre always the first to say, the state you come from
Leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me alone
Leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me alone
Love me, love me, love me, love me, love me forever
Love me, love me, love me, love me, love me forever
Leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me alone, oh
Leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me alone
Leave me alone
Ah-ha-ha, oh, oh, yeah

Ill Never Say Good-bye
I couldnt believe it the day that you left
Cleaned out your closet, cleared off your shelves
Loaded your car and you drove out of sight
But I never said goodbye
Ill never say goodbye
The doors always open, I leave on a light
Im always waiting in case you drop by
Ill never say goodbye
People have told me you have a new love
My hearts not willing to give up on us
Ive convinced myself theyre just telling me lies
And Ill never say goodbye
Ill never say goodbye
The doors always open, I leave on a light
I never wanted you out of my life
And Ill never say goodbye
Ill never say goodbye
The doors always open, I leave on a light
Ill be loving you till the day that I die
And Ill never say goodbye
If youll just come back, I wont even ask why
Ill never say goodbye, no Ill never say goodbye

The Devil Game
I've got books that say the good man's golden
And more that say the bad will fall
So many men have drowned in evil
And left Lucifer standing tall
Don't take the devil's dare
Don't gamble when the game ain't fair,
Lock and bolt the doors
Can't let the devil use you anymore
You got to listen all you mugs and reivers if you do any wrong
You make it right
You can't be a make-believer
'Cause soon you're gonna pay the price
Lying, hat and pain, all parts of the devil game
Got his foot inside the door
But you can't let him use you anymore
Take, he will take, he will take, give him nothing he'll take,
He will take, he will take, he will give nothing but he'll take
Take, he will take, he will take, give him nothing he'll take,
He will take, he will take, he will give nothing but he'll take
Pray, for devils have no reason
Satan waits to curse your ways
Have you seen it in his eyes in the sunset
Have you wondered if he's laughing when he play
Has he asked if you're alone, if what he sees is all you own
Has he offered you happiness, money, or much better lays
*Satan leave me*
Leave me lonely
*Satan leave me*
Leave us alone
I've got books that say the good man's golden
And more that say the bad will fall
Take a look at what the future's holdin'
Won't be yours if you don't heed the call
Life is a game, and the stakes will remain the same
Now you've gotta choose, is the devil gonna win or lose again

You Made Me Your Shut-In
Why don't you give me a hug,
Or just leave me.
Why don't you give me a hug,
Or just leave me.
Why don't you give me a hug,
Or just leave me.
Leave me be and alone.
Are you the kind to visit shut-ins,
With the ones you've left wounded.
Give me a hug or just leave me.
Or are you the kind who never gets sick of it.
Why don't you give me a hug,
Or just leave me.
Why don't you give me a hug,
Or just leave me.
Why don't you give me a hug,
Or just leave me.
Leave me be and alone.
You made me your shut-in!
Just to visit and leave me.
You made me your shut-in!
Just to visit and leave me.
You made me your shut-in!
You made me your shut-in!
You made me your shut-in!
Just to visit and leave me.
You made me your shut-in!
Just to visit and leave me.
You made me your shut-in!
You made me your shut-in!
You made me your shut-in!

Give Me One Reason (feat. Eric Clapton)
Give me one reason to stay here
And I'll turn right back around
Give me one reason to stay here
And I'll turn right back around
Because I don't want leave you lonely
But you got to make me change my mind
Baby I got your number and I know that you got mine
But you know that I called you, I called too many times
You can call me baby, you can call me anytime
But you got to call me
Give me one reason to stay here
And I'll turn right back around
Give me one reason to stay here
And I'll turn right back around
Because I don't want leave you lonely
But you got to make me change my mind
I don't want no one to squeeze me, they might take away my life
I don't want no one to squeeze me, they might take away my life
I just want someone to hold me and rock me through the night
This youthful heart can love you and give you what you need
This youthful heart can love you and give you what you need
But I'm too old to go chasing you around
Wasting my precious energy
Give me one reason to stay here
And I'll turn right back around
Give me one reason to stay here
And I'll turn right back around
Because I don't want leave you lonely
But you got to make me change my mind
Baby just give me one reason, Give me just one reason why
Baby just give me one reason, Give me just one reason why I should stay
Because I told you that I loved you
And there ain't no more to say

In the Giving There's A Benefit
To have awakened is a good thing to be!
And I have learned,
In the many years it has taken me to do it...
That the being there for someone else,
Will not automatically be interpretated...
As an appreciation to be shown one day,
With a reciprocation known that's received.
I have learned,
There will be many taking others for granted...
With a doing which is believed,
A duty to misuse someone dependable.
Until a reality hits and a doing this is missed.
And a waiting to sit by a telephone,
Wishing to hear it ring is a familiar sound gone.
I have learned,
In the giving there's a benefit.
And I have learned,
Those who give are not desperate.
To have awakened is a good thing to be.
And I have learned,
Those who give are not desperate.
I have learned,
In the giving there's a benefit.
And I have learned...
To leave alone,
Those who take for granted...
Someone giving up their time to misuse.
I have learned,
In the giving there's a benefit.
And I have learned...
Those who give are not desperate.
Oh yes I've learned...
To leave alone,
Those who take for granted...
Someone giving up their time to abuse.

You Can Leave Your Hat On
Baby, take off your coat, real slow.
Baby, take off your shoes. I'll help you take off your shoes.
Baby, take off your dress. Yes, yes, yes.
You can leave your hat on.
You can leave your hat on.
You can leave your hat on.
Go over there, turn on the light. No, all the lights.
Come back here, stand on the chair. Ooh, baby, that's right!
Raise your arms in the air, now shake 'em.
You give me reason to live.
You give me reason to live.
You give me reason to live.
You can leave your hat on!
Suspicious minds are talking. That's right, they'll tear us apart.
They don't believe in this love of ours.
They don't know what love is.
They don't know what love is.
I know what love is.
You can leave your hat on.
You can

Don't Leave Me
Don't leave me
I have to wait for you to come back
I will miss you too much
When you leave me I be depression
Don't leave me
You are my angel
Please stay and tell me whatever I did wrong or say and I'm sorry
You make me not want to eat or sleep if you leave me
Don't leave me
What will I do without you
Everyday not seeing you anymore will make me sad and
Think it all my fault if you leave me
You are the only one for me
Don't leave me
You are my angel
Please stay and tell me whatever I did wrong or say and I'm sorry
You make me not want to eat or sleep if you leave me
Don't leave me and
I have to wait for you
I will move onto another guy and forget you
So baby please stay with me and give me another chance
Don't leave me
I will never smile again
I can't stand back up if
You not here by my side so please stay baby
Don't leave me

Love Comes To Me
(graham russell)
As long as I live all that I receive is what I want to give to you
I know that if I can stay for a while you will soon love me too
Lets take a chance at least well learn a lesson
It beats hanging round waiting for moments that wait into days
I dont want to love you in two different ways
Do you want to give, do you want to give me you whole day and more
Do you want to give, do you want always the key to the door
Its easy for you talking your way out of all situations
When you cant see thru and leave it up to me
And thats what I do
And thats what I do
Love comes to me and leaves me with you
Love runs thru me in all that you do
Dont walk away, dont leave me standing here
Thats not the way, dont lead me anywhere
I need you now, I need you now
Dont leave me standing here
Oh, I dont know, I just dont know
Its much too fast for me cant we go slow
Oh, I dont know, I just dont know
What do you want me to do

I Don't Give
Every time you go away
It actually kinda makes my day
Every time you leave, you slam the door
You pick your words so carefully
You hate to think you're hurtin' me
You leave me laughing on the floor, 'cuz-
(Chorus)
I don't give it up,
I don't give a damn what you say about that
You know-
I don't give it up
I don't give a damn what you say about that
You know-
I'm not gonna cry about some stupid guy
A guy who thinks he's all that
I thought we were just hangin' out (hangin' out)
So why'd you kiss me on the mouth?
You thought the way you taste would get me high- (oh)
You went to all your friends to brag (to brag)
Guys are always such a drag (a drag)
Don't you know the reason the reason that I kissed you was to say good-bye?
(Chorus)
'Cuz I don't give it up
I don't give a damn what you say about that
You know-
I don't give it up
I don't give a damn what you say about that
You know-
I'm not gonna cry about some stupid guy
A guy who thinks he's all that
Hangin', hangin' out; I am simply
Hangin', hangin' out; I am simply
Hangin'... so why'd you kiss me on the mouth? (why'd you kiss me)
Don't you know that I-
I don't give a damn about you
I won't give it up, not for you
I don't give a damn about you
I won't give it up, not for you
I'm not gonna cry about some stupid guy
A guy who thinks he's all that
I don't give it up
I don't give a damn (I don't give it up)

One Good Reason
Just give me one good reason
I know somehow, theres got to be one
I wasnt born every minute of every day
I never feel this way
I fought hard to keep my freedom
But when I think of things that weve done
I give what I keep, and I keep what I give away
Is this a good sign, Im on a thin line
One good reason is all I need
Say the word and Ill cut you free
What was nothing just yesterday
Could be something thats here to stay
One good reason and I might go either way
Give me some indication
Its not my imagination
Something is born every minute of every day
Something could come my way
I just need one good reason
To make me stay instead of leaving
I never knew how to be any other way
Maybe theres still hope
Im on a tight rope
One good reason is all I need
To take the heart that is tempting me
Make a move that could change your life
Never know if its wrong or right
One good reason is all I need tonight
It just takes one good reason
My body sweats, my hands are freezing
I dont make decisions like this every single day
What do I have to say
Just give me one good reason
Give me one good reason

Soul Messiah
There is too much confusion
Much too much impact of obscene terror
I wonder why Im still surfing on this wave of obsession
Is there a reason to stay any longer
Waiting for some cool messiah
Give me a reason to stay here forever
Waiting for something to come
Is it my soul
Is it that glimpse of light I never forget to expect
Or is it you, some kind of angel
That keeps me in waiting forever
Theres too much war on the outside
Much too much impact of symbols and meanings
I wonder why Im still fighting in this ocean of questions
Is there a reason to stay any longer
Waiting for something to come
Give me a reason to stay on this island
Waiting for something to come

Suicide my onnly way out
This is my one and only way.
Belive me I had no choice.
It was the only open door.
Im sorry.
Please forgive me.
Suicide was my only way out.
The only door that was safe.
Life and the world wasnt safe for me.
Every one was out to get me.
My loved ones some stolen.
Some loved ones taken to heaven.
Some loved ones I leave behind.
To those of you I leave behind
Im so truly sorry.
My life was a sad story.
It never did have any glory.
Bastards fucked with my head.
They even messed with my body.
I hate them evil fuckers.
But I dont have time to hate now.
Now Im dead I'll huant them instead.
Im so treuly sorry.
I had to slip through the door.
I grew wings to fly.

Leave Me Alone
Say you dominate you can never wait
To listen to the things that I have got to say
Youre amorous, polygamous
And thats okay as long as I dont start to play
Say listen good
You know you should
Paradise is built inside an hour glass
Im feminine but that dont mean
That I would want to travel second class
Leave me alone cause Ive got my rhythm (yeah)
Leave me alone cause Ive got my life
Leave me alone cause Ive got my rhythm
Just leave me alone
Just leave me alone
Leave me alone if you want to stay mine
Leave me alone
Now I am you and you are me
The signs are right and it will fit eventually
Its hard to take youd better break
A habit that has ruled for an eternity
Its your concern youd better learn
Ill never belong to you or any other man
Take what I give and go and live
With someone else if you dont understand
Leave me alone cause Ive got my rhythm
Leave me alone cause Ive got my life
Leave me alone cause Ive got my rhythm
Just leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone if you want to stay mine
Leave me alone
Leave me alone if you want to stay mine for awhile
Leave me alone if you want to stay mine for awhile
Just leave me alone
