The Sentence
as you are praying in the altar
i am urinating in the CR
and then you fix the bed
folding the blankets and dusting off the pillows
i stop there for a while
for i have been thinking about dust
you think that i am catering in
to these deadly thoughts
or granting that they are not
why think of rest
when every idea of this world is always labeled
with activity
you run away
that is a good idea connoting always an action
you cry
that 's drama still watched by the masses
who like to shed tears for the star
of the show
there is no choice you tell me
except to surge
to invade
to move on
yes that is the sentence.

An Idea
An Idea can change the world, how many
things can be done from an idea, every piece
of object was an idea, sense the beginning of
time idea was the first thought created in the
mind, an idea is what surround’s every being.
But an idea is still only an idea and it can't be
felt, you cannot touch an idea or kiss it, or hold it,
ideas do not bleed or feel pain or love, an idea
cannot be seen or heard, its created in our thoughts,
but then again an idea can become real. An idea
can be what ever you which it to be, an idea can
be destructive, an idea can be brilliant, I've seen
people get killed in the name of ideas, ideas,
we walk around with a little
light bulb blinking in our thoughts, ideas.

They are here

They are here to show
our defacement and vandalism
They are here to show us and kick
our ass our laws our bourgeois respectability
They are here to show us and kick against this idea
of unsustainable stability
They are here to show us and kick against this idea because they've got no fear
about death about governments about dominant thought
They are here to show us and kick against this idea because they've got no fear, they use the power
of freedom, expression, creativity, mercy and generosity
They are here to show us and kick against this idea because they've got no fear, they use the power to write down
their fragility their energy their sufferance their misplacement
They are here to show us and kick against this idea because they've got no fear to be opponent
when we are absent, when we decide for them, when we change the rules without their engagement
They are here to show us and kick against this idea
of the ruling class and the perfect family and the perfect life
They are here to show us and refuse
parents who scream and abuse, the bully mates, the violence, the prejudice
They are here to show
respect to the world, to the earth, to human beings
They are here
asking for protection, begging us to stop these fights
don't you see them?

Cry For You
Your eyes are glistening with unshed tears
I've watched you grow through all these years
I can't comfort you, I don't know how
Though I wish to stop your pain right now
You're tears are refused their right to shed
Your thoughts are locked inside your head
You are imprisoning all of your emotions
I watch you just going through the motions
Water from my eyes begins to dropp
Because I can't make your pain stop
You won't show weakness, you'd prefer to be dead
So during your pain, your tears for you I'll shed

It Takes Moment
It takes moment’s work to finish
A living object on earth to perish
What happiness we got from it, I don’t know?
I was taken a back from wind’s throw
How many thoughts might have crossed?
Creator might have never thought or tossed
The idea of giving chance to come on earth
With definite assurance of meeting graceful death
If death was certainty and fully understood
What is need to digest different school’s thought food
Many thoughts may be floated around to fool
How come an intelligent person can be made tool?
More you think in that direction
Less you get any clue for definite action
It is Holy Spirit that binds you in good faith
You can’t be scared for loosing life in death
If it has to come then no one can stop
For that you don’t have to cry and go over roof top
Look at hollow sky and sink into useless thinking
That may only hasten your end and cause for sinking
Any living object has to depart
It is defined clearly and very much part
Known facts to all for no fooling around
It has to be stabilized for doing well and sound
Is it not rubbish idea to think of an ending?
When there is enough room for amending
Lot of space for praying and asking for favor
Lead a life for good aim with peace and honor
What suicide will do to an individual?
His departure may be considered as casual
Cowardice step with no more sympathy
As it is shown disrespect to almighty

Ideal Perfect
Trying to be that idea of perfect,
When in reality we're all falling apart,
Dressing, acting, talking like everyone else,
What's wrong with being different? ?
Can't you see that's the greatest part of life...
Being unique.
Make that idea of perfect YOUR way.
When you feel alone,
Like no one cares,
Bad thoughts in your mind,
When you're on the edge of life,
Losing control...
Just forget about the world and everyone in it,
Stop trying to be that idea of perfect,
Just know...
You don't have to try for me or anyone else,
You're perfect and everything amazing to me,
Be yourself,
Because really you're so very special just the way you are

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.

What Is Normal
what is normal?
might i ask?
is it a set idea?
can it be changed?
who is normal really?
if normalcy is only an idea
given to us by society.
can't normal be
abnormality?
why must everyone who doesn't fit in
be labeled strange?
why, why why?

The really good idea is always traceable back quite a long way, often to a not very good idea which sparked off another idea that was only slightly better, which somebody else misunderstood in such a way that they then said something which was really rather interesting.

Dusts
she is a woman fond of cleaning
dust and dirt and
almost everything that
makes this house dirty
or herself, her hands
her clothes and the
furniture that she keeps
on dusting
almost everyday
she slides her fingers
on the table and screens
the surface for dusts
and she thinks
this world must
be free
from dusts
she keeps dusting and dusting
and tonight
she sleeps
deep into
a slumber where
she does not wake up
anymore
she turns to dust
and the wind blows her away at last

A Better Idea
He hung the moon
Raised the sun
Made the lions walk
And the rivers run
Then he sat down, looked around
And thought a bit
Said, its all good but that aint quite it
So with his mighty hand he created man
And then
Chorus
He had a better idea
A much better idea
He made an angel like sweet perfume
A heavenly smile, someone who
Can light up a room with a heart so true
I thank God he created me
But when I look at you I see
He had a better idea
Thought Id have to face
This world alone
Just walk through life
Without a hand to hold
And I accepted that
I said in fact it might be nice
To live my way
Now thats paradise
Be he knew all along
I was wrong
Repeat chorus (2x)
He had a better idea
God had a better idea

Not My Idea
I bit my tongue and stood in line
With not much to believe in
I bought into what I was sold
And ended up with nothing
This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea of a good time
This is not my idea
You thought that I would never see
What was meant for you was meant for me
I was distracted at the time
Forget about yours

Women say they have sexual thoughts too. They have no idea. It's the difference between shooting a bullet and throwing it. If they knew what we were really thinking, they'd never stop slapping us.

Harmonic
Well, I'll see you around
Don't want to stay and drown
The drama got too thick
Makes me sick
And I don't wanta talk about it
I already thought about it
Stripped down of my pride
I shed the tears then dried these eyes
It was fun at the start
But maybe we're world's apart
Facing differnet ways
Different plains
And I don't wanta drag it out and
I just got to get on out and
Leave it all behind
It's time so don't deny it
I wanta know...does it show on my face
I'm sick of this place
I wanta move on, cause the feeling is gone
I wanta see...is it me out the door
I told you before
I wanta have fun, and it's just begun
I've seen the light
Tried to talk about it
If you were ever down for me
Just stop...you'd see
You know I'm right
And it showed in your eyes
What we shared had run empty
So let...it be
I wanta know...does it show on my face
I'm sick of this place
I wanta move on...now there's one of us gone
I wanta see...is it me out the door
I said it before
I wanta have fun, and its just begun

Idea
I been thinking sitting on a pole.
I'm getting sick of doing what I'm told.
Just me and the mirror and my brain.
But that was when I got an idea.
Came like a gun and shot in my ear.
Don't you think it's time you got up and stood alone?
Fifteen years I lay down on the ground.
I couldn't feel any noise or hear any sound.
Fifteen million years I spent down the line.
But that was when I got an idea.
Came like a gun and shot in my ear.
Don't you think it's time you got up and stood alone?
Get up and stand alone
music
That was when I got an idea.
Came like a gun and shot in my ear.
Don't you think it's time you got up and stood alone?
Get up and stand alone.
That's when I got an idea (repeat and fade out)

Cant stop thinking about you
Cant stop thinking about you
Its no good living without you
I cant stop thinking about you
Cant stop thinking about you
Cant stop thinking about you
And its no good living without you
I cant stop thinking about you
When the night-time comes around
Daylight has left me, i
I cant take it if I dont see you no more
I cant help it, I need your loving so much more
And I cant stop thinking about you
Cant stop thinking about you
And its no good living without you
I cant stop thinking about
I cant stop thinking about
I cant stop thinking about you, ooh
Cant stop thinking about
Cant stop thinking about
Cant stop thinking about you
When the morning comes around
And the daylight gets to me, i
I cant take it if I dont see you no more
I cant help it, I need your loving so much more
And I cant stop thinking about you, oh yeah
I cant stop thinking about you
And its no good living without you

Cant stop thinking about

Dusting is a good example of the futility of trying to put things right. As soon as you dust, the fact of your next dusting has already been established.

The Morning After By A Room Window Where We Sleep
one thing with light
is its beautiful muteness
it comes bringing silence
and lands on the pillows and blankets
not even the cat's careful feet
not even the soft feather of a sparrow
the curtains open and everything is still
someone leaves without the use of a word
i must stop thinking for i too must keep going

The 4th Dimension
I tried and tried
Finally I realized
Why she left this 3d world behind
Go!
She got tired of the same old story
She had a mind that would not quit
Shed insist a plot must exist
With an ending that she could not guess
She tried hard to convince me
Then she took off like a bright idea
She believed there just had to be
A movie that shed never seen
I watched as her fingers drew
A perfect line in space
I watched as she looked on through
Into another place
She found out what shed been missing
She decided she could change her luck
She was right lifes not black and white
Its something more than meets the eye
I watched as her fingers drew
A perfect line in space
I watched as she walked straight through
Into another place
She parted with convention
Now shes living in the 4th dimension
Without me
I tried and tried
And still I dont know why
She left me no address
Or a way to guess
Now shes somewhere in the 4th dimension
Shes living in 4d
She found herself a new direction there
Shes living without me

Just For A Day
You have no idea what it’s like
To be the oldest
No idea what it’s like
To be exiled
You have no idea what it’s like
To be unnoticed
No idea what it’s like
To be me
So I suggest you put on my mask
For a while
Just for a year, for a month
For a day
So you can see
What it’s like
To be me
You can finally feel
My positions
Feel your weakness
In times like mine
How your feelings compress
All together
When you don’t say anything,
But hang your head
