Your Hands As Truths..
when you say you like me
i know
you meant the opposite
and then i say that it is over
which you
of course fully understand
that i still need
another beginning
in this game, i opted for
consistency
a tooth for a tooth
an eye for an eye
look at us, look at us
i need to find your hands and hold them
as truths.

Tooth And Nail
I'm tired of all this cheap talk
When you walk next to me
They say I ain't good enough for you
Why don't they come and tell me
When they see us out in the night
They can't wait to tear us apart
Now I hear them saying lovin' you ain't right
Well they'd better be ready 'cause honey I'll be there
I will fight tooth and nail
Count on me, I will not fail you
I will fight tooth and nail
They say I'm always breaking promises
And I'm just fooling with you
Then they try and come between the two of us
Man, that's a bad thing to do
I can say I had more than enough
But I ain't gonna take it too hard
I said hey, they want to play rough
Well let's see who backs down when the trouble starts
I will fight tooth and nail
Count on me, I will not fail you
I will fight tooth and nail
Come on try me, I won't give in
They take advantage, but they can't win
I'll be your man, baby, wait and see
Ain't nobody, nobody take your love from me
I will fight tooth and nail
I was wrong, I will not fail you
I will fight tooth and nail
I'll be your man, baby, wait and see
Ain't nobody, nowhere take your love away from me
I will fight tooth and nail
Count on me, I will not fail you
I will fight tooth and nail
Right now, tooth and nail
I am waiting for the fight
Tooth and nail
Right now, c'mon, tooth and nail
Right now, tooth and nail
C'mon, tooth and nail
Ah fight
Tooth and nail
Right now, c'mon, tooth and nail
C'mon, right now, tooth and nail

Quatrain #195 - An eye for an eye and a............
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
is what we've been doing since our youth.
This is really a misunderstanding and an opposite view
of 'do unto others as you would have them do unto you'.

The Devil's Candy
Smoky old bars, bright neon lights
Good ole boys and girls of the night
An ice cold beer and a good shot of brandy
I've always had a sweet tooth
For the devil's candy
And I've fought it all my life
And the battle's now a war
But I'll get up tomorrow
And I'll fight it all once more
I want to do what's right
But I'll never understand me
I've always had a sweet tooth
For the devil's candy
Well I've played the cards, and I've rolled the dice
Well I gave up heaven for a fool's paradise
I once lost an angel when a bad girl was handy
I've always had a sweet tooth
For the devil's candy
And I've fought it all my life
And the battle's now a war
But I'll get up tomorrow
And I'll fight it all once more
I want to do what's right
But I'll never understand me
I've always had a sweet tooth
For the devil's candy
I want to do what's right
But I'll never understand me
I've always had a sweet tooth
For the devil's candy
Yes I've always had a sweet tooth
For the devil's candy

Florence
'Fracture for fracture, eye for eye, and tooth for tooth! '
But as a man ingures another,
So shall he be ingured in the same way too.
Florence, you shall not make gods (elohim, teraphim) for yourself;
And you shall not eat anything with the blood in it.
Florence, things may fall apart at times;
But do wake up in life again and move on,
For anyone who commits adultery with a man's wife is not wise.
'Fracture for fracture, eye for eye, and tooth for tooth! '
But like the first day of the secone moon,
Try to keep on along the right paths of life to gain your future.

Meditation Poem - A tooth
this body is a
tooth of existence
one among 32
but when it pains
it feels all 32
32 becomes one
this mind holds
the realm of existence
the body is
a pain of a tooth
numbing all others
you pull out the tooth
the other 31 look at you
and - smile

A Tightwad Tooth Fairy Called Griselda
There was a tightwad tooth fairy
and Griselda was her name.
When you had your teeth out
and put them under the pillow
she would come along and pinch them
and leave nothing in return.
You would wake up in the morning;
look under your pillow for some dosh,
but under your pillow was empty there.
As you looked at the empty space,
you knew straight away
that Griselda the tightwad tooth fairy
had been about.
Complaints followed complaints
to fairly land
about this tightwad tooth fairy.
The fairy council
had never heard of such a thing.
A tightwad tooth fairy.
Oh, this could never be.
They had never had a case
of a tooth fairy leaving no money.
Something had to be done.
Griselda was called
and stood before the council
and asked to explain why
she was a tightwad
and left no money behind.
The miserly tooth fairy
thought for a moment.
She was saving some money
to buy herself a fairy yacht,
only it took a lot of teeth
to purchase one of them.
For her crimes,
she was sent to work with Santa’s Elves.
She sits in the toy factory
banging happily away,
because if the truth were known
she didn’t want to be a tooth fairy anyway.

Prophylaxis
as an advance guard
the tooth without the lips is the real leader.
it cannot speak for itself
no one, nothing speaks for it
since the tongue is numb & sick
and the lips find finds it a shame
in fact it tries to conceal it
and so you know what happens next
the tooth creates the pain
and all it does is
this gritting.

Cant Stop Now
(coverdale/vandenberg)
My mama always said
If you want you should get in fast
While the goings good
Lie like a rug if you fool around
Just dont get caught with your trousers down
Somebody stop me,
Tie me down
I tell you, baby,
I cant, I cant stop now
My daddy said son gotta understand,
Dont think twice get it while you can
You cant hang around, you cant stand still,
Cos if you dont take it another man will
Somebody stop me,
Tie me down
I tell you, baby,
I cant, I cant stop now
I got an eye for a pretty girl,
An a sweet tooth for trouble
I cant stop, cant stop, cant stop now
I cant stop cause it tastes so good,
I got a sweet tooth
For trouble
No rest for the wicked, no peace of mind
When you got a jukebox heart
Working overtime
I maybe out of touch,
Maybe out of line
But, baby, you got your life
An I got mine
Somebody stop me,
Tie me down
I tell you, baby,
I cant, I cant stop now
I got an eye for a pretty girl,
An a sweet tooth for trouble
I cant stop, cant stop, cant stop now
I got an eye for a pretty girl,
An a sweet tooth for trouble

Time Proves It, And Time Shall Prove It Again
this will never work.
a tooth

and an
eye for an

it never worked.
all suffered much
the grief will never be over.
in the land of peace
the great joker cannot laugh again.

Quid pro quo
A tooth for a tooth
An eye for an eye
You know what’s next
(ok, just in case you
don’t… until all would
be toothless and blind)
a lie for a lie
hmm, hand them
brand new brushes
each
&
more colgate toothpaste
please
they’re all lying on their teeth.

Eye For An Eye
You turned me over now I'll turn you around
Mistakes are made, foul play
You have givin' is what I found
You'll be my queen for a day
I'm no matinee idol
You put it in the wrong way
If I was Valentino
It'd been the same
It's like an eye for an eye
Give me some proof
Speak up now or it's a tooth for a tooth
An eye for an eye
Give me some proof
Time is runnin' out on you
Watcha gonna do?
No need to smile while I make my advance
But please don't turn away
Your reputation got me into your pants
But you weren't that great
Well now you turned the tables
It's the other way
I've got my revenge baby
And you want to stay
It's like an eye for an eye
Give me some proof
Speak up now or it's a tooth for a tooth
An eye for an eye
Give me some proof
Time is runnin' out on you
Watcha gonna do?
It's like an eye for an eye
Give me some proof
Speak up now or it's a tooth for a tooth
An eye for an eye
Give me some proof
Time is runnin' out on you
Watcha gonna do?
Watcha gonna do?
Watcha gonna do?
Watcha gonna do?
Watcha gonna do?
Watcha gonna do?
Watcha gonna do?

Dog Eat Dog
Well its a dog eat dog
Eat cat too
The french eat frog
And I eat you
Businessman, when you make a deal
Do you know who you can trust?
Do you sign your life away?
Do you write your name in dust?
Chorus:
Hey, hey, hey
Every dog has his day
Its a dog eat dog
Dog eat dog
dog eat dog
Read the news
Someone win
Someone lose
Ups above and downs below
And limbos inbetween
Up you win, down you lose
Its anybodys game
Chorus
And its a eye for eye
Tooth for tooth
Its a lie
Thats the truth
See a blind man on the street
Looking for something free
Hear the kind man ask his friends
hey, whats in it for me?

To Be Appreciated
'Shalom Aleichem'!
Efforts and experiences to a personal feat;
With your feet on the work to gain your future,
But, never give up on your dreams.
The alphabetical acrostics of my mind,
But love called in when i was away;
However, never give up on your dreams.
Proverbs,
Parables,
Puzzles;
With drak sayings in veiled language,
But, characterised by a systematic presentations.
Art is meant to appreciated in this world,
But, 'an eye for an eye' will make us go blind!
And, 'a tooth for a tooth' will make us toothless.
I am very zealous in the name of love,
So be part of this world in a positive way;
For, art is meant to be appreciated,
And like the muse of my love in the land of your care.

In An East End Hovel
To a Workman, a would-be Suicide
MAN of despair and death,
Bought and slaved in the gangs,
Starved and stripped and left
To the pitiful, pitiless night,
Away with your selfish thoughts!
Touch not your ignorant life!
Are there no masters of slaves,
Jeering, cynical, strong —
Are there no brigands (say),
With the words of Christ on their lips,
And the daggers under their cloaks —
Is there not one of these
That you can steal on and kill?
O as the Swiss mountaineer
Dogged on the perilous heights
His disciplined conqueror foes:
Caught up one in his arms
And, laughing exultantly,
Plunged with him to the abyss:
So let it be with you!
An eye for an eye, and a tooth
For a tooth, and a life for a life!
Tell it, this hateful strong
Contemptuous, hypocrite World,
Tell it that, if we must live
As dogs and as worse than dogs,
At least we can die like men!
Tell it there is a woe
Not for the conquered alone!
An eye for an eye, and a tooth
For a tooth, and a life for a life.
