The effect matters
An action is proven right
Only after its effects.
A path is proven good
Only after the travel.
An egg is proven good
Only after its hatch.
Every step is a bet.

The Question
1916
Brethren, how shall it fare with me
When the war is laid aside,
If it be proven that I am he
For whom a world has died?
If it be proven that all my good,
And the greater good I will make,
Were purchased me by a multitude
Who suffered for my sake?
That I was delivered by mere mankind
Vowed to one sacrifice,
And not, as I hold them, battle-blind,
But dying with open eyes?
That they did not ask me to draw the sword
When they stood to endure their lot --
That they only looked to me for a word,
And I answered I knew them not?
If it be found, when the battle clears,
Their death has set me free,
Then how shall I live with myself through the years
Which they have bought for me?
Brethren, how must it fare with me,
Or how am I justified,
If it be proven that I am he
For whom mankind has died --
If it be proven that I am he
Who, being questioned, denied?

Magic And Loss - The Summation
Love is here, here to stay, love is here, here to stay
It gets proven every day, love is here, here to stay
They both love Chinese food, he hates to dress
He loves to play pinball, she wants to play next
She likes her novels long, he's into comic books
They're gilt-edged polymorphous urban but somehow it works
Love is here, here to stay, love is here, here to stay
It gets proven every day, love is here, here to stay
She likes Truman Capote, he likes Gore Vidal
He likes Edgar Allan Poe, she's into Mean Joe Greene
She thinks eating meat's disgusting, he likes hot dogs
She's into Gestalt therapy, while est and the vest just make him ill
but love is here to stay
Love is here, here to stay, love is here, here to stay
It gets proven every day, love is here, here to stay
Love is here, here to stay, love is here, here to stay
It gets proven every day, love is here, here to stay

No escapism
Lack of evidence for God’s existence
Cannot itself be the evidence for His non existence.
That you are not guilty till you have been proven
Cannot alter your status of having been
Guilty till you were proven.

Symbol Moon-1
This day Chithragupta's ledger is approvable
Our sins and virtues are now accountable
Providential check-in is going on accomplishable
There, she's the proof proven amicable
Revealed Heaven's allowing the good adoptable
Opened Hell's scoring sins punishable
Atoning austerities on Earth cherishable
There, she's the proof proven amicable
Aesthetic her fulgency shining noticeable
Can never be hidden erratic Chithragupta actionable
And Chithragupta is but our karmic shade amendable
There, she's the proof proven amicable
Amicable with ascending Chithra twinkling
Amicable with freshened Chithirai newly seasoning
Amicable with Chithragupta recording
She's Chithra Pournami, testimony of our doing

In terms of the black female audience, usually if you're true to that character but more so in your body of work if you've proven that you love your sisters and you proven you will come back home like in 42.4% they'll give you a pass when you jump ship. I hear it all the time.

Love Proven True
Innocence and guilt must be proven.
But what of love?
For the innocent and guilty are both accused.
But assumption prevails.
Until it is proven.
On a lonely hill,
With hundreds of lonely observers.
Was a man that proved love once and for all.
For all to see.
Showing the lonely, they were not alone.
Not until He had enough,
But until it was done.
His will.
Love's will.
If life is love, then love is life
If we take a life, we have committed murder.
The same with love.
For both are the spirit.
It is given to us to be given to another.
Our lives and our love.
Not to be taken, but given.
As the only obligation love has, is to give.
It is a gift from Love.
It has no expectation.
It never gives up.
It proves itself,
Until it is done.
For it is in the final moment,
That love is proven true.

Truth Unwanted
I have reached a crossroads
The one path; pursuit of heart
The second path; awaiting the will of fate
The past has proven itself to be at fault
The future yet to be proven
My fate still to be decided
And so the decision over you will be told
Fate itself is written and true in the end
To get there is one's own deciding
Faulty marks thus far had me thinking
To walk a more basic path
Yet now, over you, my heart is choosing it's own path
Fate or not
To be chosen; journeying alone, awaiting fate and hoping
the heavens share a name with thee,
or; ask your hand in mine and walk the thin line between
fate and destiny; to see if my heart only cheats my soul

Assumptions Kept
Are you the kind that gets upset...
When your assumptions kept,
Have been proven to be incorrect?
And when this is discovered,
Do you do your best to pretend to forget...
When in the presence of someone,
You hope has forgotten your disrespect?
Are you the kind that gets upset...
When your assumptions kept,
Have been proven to be incorrect?
And those assumptions had been shared,
By others also like you...
Assuming throughout their lives,
That what they hear about others is true.
Are you the kind that gets upset...
When your assumptions kept,
Have been proven to be incorrect?
And the only thing you can do is your best...
To prove to the ones you have done this to,
Is to prove to them you are not the fool...
You have shown yourself to be.

You Say You...Love Me
You say you...
Love me!
But you get up and you run.
But you get up and you run.
How can I tell...
When you get up and you run.
When you get up and you run.
You say you want me.
But...
There is nothing proven done.
There is nothing proven done.
And I know too well...
A love that's meant to be for me,
Doesn't run away...
Escaping,
To Be Chased.
A love that's meant to be for me...
Doesn't run away,
To be chased!
And not by me.
No.
When you get up and you run.
Go!
There is nothing proven done.
No!
A love that's meant to be for me...
Doesn't run away to be chased!
And not by me.
No.
When you get up and you run.
Go!
There is nothing proven done.
No!
You say you...
Love me!
But how can I tell...
When you get up and you run.
When you get up and you run.
Go!
There is nothing proven done.
No!
You say you...
Love me!
But you get up and you run.
But you get up and you run.
You say you...
Love me!
But you get up and you run.
But you get up and you run.
You say you...
Love me!

A Song
If all of the bottles we dropp in the sea
were put bottom to mouth one by one
to the moon they would go
it's been proven, you know
and would probably reach to the sun.
It's been proven, you know
to the moon they would go
and would probably reach to the sun-
so ponder this wonder whene'er you prepare
to send under another of them.

The argument of caffeine
The argument of caffeine.
Preventive medicine some say.
Others believe that it causes increased chance of heart problems and strokes.
Good old studies, when the medical society as a whole can't decide.
How is one such as I who has no research invested in the subjects to decide.
Its addictive I'll agree with that. It relieves some migraines, its been proven. That's one of the active ingredients in Excedrin migraine.
It causes nasty side effects when you go off it cold turkey.
I know from personal experiences.
But a cure for some kind of Alzheimers, later on in life, hmm I just don't know.
That's too much like trying predicting the future.
And it would require extensive studies to be proven.
Ones that were done the life span of human beings.
It makes you more alert.
The reason why when we first wake up we desire a cup of coffee is the addictiveness and it ability for it to wake us up.
The aroma, the hotness, the bitter sweet taste.
Fulfilling it is with a yummy doughnut in the morning.
So for right now I'll continue to drink my caffeinated coffee.

How Good Will Be The Move
Getting out!
To get back into what?
And how big will be the next box...
To pout about in.
As you try to figure out,
Why you are feeling restricted.
Without acknowledging,
You did this to yourself.
Getting out!
To go where and why?
Will a meeting with more comfort,
Satisfy the removal of unneeded despair?
And to who's benefit,
Will the discovery of going nowhere provide?
When a getting out has been accomplished,
How good will be the move?
And to who is this going to be proven?
If...
You are the only one to travel,
With the company of uncertainty.

Cheesing In Broad Daylight
Speculated incompetence,
Seems to be riddled...
With proven ability.
And those spectating,
With expectations of defeat.
Appear to be more familiar with it.
Than the one standing tall,
On two grounded feet.
Speculated incompetence,
Seems to be riddled...
With proven ability.
To leave those scattering aound like mice,
Seeking the comfort of their darkened holes...
Rushing to get away from the exposure imposed,
From the embarrassment of 'cheesing' in broad daylight.

I Was Not Good Enough
I WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH
I was not good enough
To realize the Dream
I have given my life to-
God did not give me the gift
I so longed to have-
Now I write these words,
Defeated, disappointed, small-
Yet still irrationally hoping,
I am better than I have been proven to be.

A fervent belief with ardent hope

Till it is proven false or otherwise.
