An Abstraction
It's very easy being judgmental and
for one to ostensibly censure
When unknown are the causes
and the rational obscure
Perceptions are personal
having an absolute and justified claim
No right one has in branding
and reprobate other proclaim
Gratuitous opinions proffered,
at times are not worth a dime
As each in their circumstantial environs
is a unique paradigm
Mend can't the incorrigible,
because in their blood it is to haunt
In mocking other's gullibility and
sane sensibilities try and taunt

The Standpoint
My actions are the reactions
of the measures you dispense
The response is in fashion mirroring
and reflected truly thence
It's very easy to be judgmental
and arguably simply censure
When your standing is questionable
with logic weirdly obscure
The past were so much simpler
had unabated frolicking abound
The ravages of the time took their toll
all lost was never to be found

Why Do You Do This To Me
Why do you,
Want...
To taunt me.
And why do you want,
To do...
This,
To me.
Why do you,
Want...
To taunt me.
And why do you want,
To do...
This,
To me.
You say I'm not right,
And you do this to me.
To claim I'm wrong,
And you do this to me.
From Sunrise to Sunset,
You do this to me.
Until the dawn.
When you do this to me.
Why do you,
Want...
To taunt me.
And why do you want,
To do...
This,
To me.
Why do you,
Want...
To taunt me.
And 'why' do you,
Do...
This,
To me.
You say I'm not right,
And you do this to me.
To claim I'm wrong,
And you do this to me.
From Sunrise to Sunset,
You do this to me.
Until the dawn.
When you do this to me.
You say I'm not right,
And you do this to me.
To claim I'm wrong,
And you do this to me.
From Sunrise to Sunset,
You do this to me.
Until the dawn.
When you do this to me.
Why do you...
Do this to me.
Taunt me,
And do this to me.
Why do you,
Do this to me...
With wants...
To do this to me!
With wants,
To do this to me.
And taunts,
When you do this to me.
From Sunrise to Sunset,
You do this to me.
Until the dawn,
When you do this to me.

Theres Nothing Soft About Hard Times
By: jimmy buffett
1970
Every day held a new surprise
I watched the hunger burning in my sisters eyes
The paste-board shack we called a home
Would haunt me in my dreams
cause theres nothing soft about hard times
Theres nothing soft about hard times
We never knew anything groovy
A dime meant bread and not a movie
The muscles that controlled my smile were rarely ever used
cause theres nothing soft about hard times
Theres nothing soft about hard times
Chorus:
I had to go cause I could see
I wasnt meant for poverty
The family ties were broken soon
I went off to find the moon
So I sit on a bench in jackson square
I drink my wine and I breathe the midnight air
Tomorrow Ill just hit the street and bum another dime
cause theres nothing soft about hard times
Theres nothing soft about hard times
Chorus:
I had to go cause I could see
I wasnt meant for poverty
The family ties were broken soon
I went off to find the moon
So I sit on a bench in jackson square
I drink my wine and I breathe the midnight air
Tomorrow Ill just hit the street and bum another dime
cause theres nothing soft about hard times
Theres nothing soft about hard times
Theres nothing soft about
No, no, no, no hard times
Theres nothing soft about hard times
No, no, no, no those hard times
Theres nothing soft about hard times
Im going to tell you about the hard times
Theres nothing soft about hard times
No, no, no, no hard times

A Circle And A Zero
A circle and a zero
Mistaken for each other
Taunt my mind for once
And I try to flee from them.
A circle has a unique face
And a zero has many.
The wise have ever proclaimed
As they have had to say something.
In a white paper, I draw a circle
But it looks like a zero.
When I attempt the latter,
The former fades away!
I run in a circle of odds
As many a zero chases me from behind.
I sleep under a circling wheel
And the nightmare of zeroes begins to haunt me.
Who are you both gentle images?
Why are you like twins identical?
May I ask you both just once?
What do you want to do with each other?

If I have a favorite song and it's something obscure, I'm almost offended if I see somebody that I don't deem worthy getting the same enjoyment out of it that I got. It's very judgmental, I know, but there are some things that are so beautiful you should have a license to have them.

Outside the mythic Rains
let us know we are not insane
blood debts still to be paid
(instead) we celebrate the Stranger
Inside the mythic Pains are played
blood doubts are asked again
beware the answers you can not tame
(might) take you too far away
Say what you are
Come here to haunt you
Say what you will
I am going haunt you
And protect you
I am going hurt you
And if we survive this dawn
we wish we'd see the Day
die to comeback a single time
that face in the window
is never the same
Say what you are
Come here to haunt you
Say what you will
I am going haunt you
And protect you
I am going hurt you

Not There to Permit Empathetic Caring
It is easier to deceive a people fantasized.
Easy it is to sway opinion,
With something sparkling...
To dazzle the eyes,
Of one hypnotized.
It is easier to feed a hunger,
Than to tease it with words to please.
It is easy to fix perceptions tricked...
Than to mend them with difficulties defying lies,
Eventually unaccepted!
And taking too long,
For deluded masses to believe...
They have been highly deceived!
It is easier to leave them mentally sick.
And those like them addicted.
Since time to undo this wickedness...
Is not there to permit empathetic caring.

Opinions
Opinions friend, we all may have, and opinions are not always bad.
All opinions indeed carry no weight, in regards to one’s eternal fate.
Opinions, my friend often speak, to the heart and mind of the weak.
They tend to sway a weaker heart, when from truth they do depart.
Opinions vary from one to the next, colored by many various sects.
Various groups truly do abound, as each echoes a different sound.
Men with opinions tend to change, and they’re not always the same.
But, God’s Truth doesn’t change; written in stone it’ll forever remain.
Opinions just air what men feel, delivered to all with a personal zeal.
But some are more of an appeal, contesting God’s Truth that’s real.
Opinions are formed deep inside, the inner feelings moved by pride.
Their opinions are a vain reproof, of God’s unchanging Eternal Truth.
They speak, but don’t understand, their voices are like shifting sand.
Easily moved by the wind and tide; all because The Truth is denied.
Isn’t it just a little bit strange, how much strong opinions do change?
When a big wind comes through, they change just like emotions do.
Opinionated people truly abound, even where God’s Truth is found.
Are they just the enemy’s sleuth, seeking The Lord’s ultimate truth?
However, opinions will not stand, in the presence of The Son of Man.
There only The Truth will reside, and vain opinions will all be denied.

Absolute Beginners
Ive nothing much to offer
Theres nothing much to take
Im an absolute beginner
And Im absolutely sane
As long as were together
The rest can go to hell
I absolutely love you
But were absolute beginners
With eyes completely open
But nervous all the same
If our love song
Could fly over mountains
Could laugh at the ocean/sail over heartaches second time
Just like the films
Theres no reason
To feel all the hard times
To lay down the hard lines
Its absolutely true
Nothing much could happen
Nothing we cant shake
Oh were absolute beginners
With nothing much at stake
As long as youre still smiling
Theres nothing more I need
I absolutely love you
But were absolute beginners
But if my love is your love
Were certain to succeed
If our love song
Could fly over mountains
Could laugh at the ocean/sail over heartaches second time
Just like the films
Theres no reason
To feel all the hard times
To lay down the hard lines
Its absolutely true

The Delibrated Rove
Coerced sort of subsistence
where your soul doesn't belong
The right that was in earnest
with time has gone awfully wrong
It's just a step in front of the last one
in a melancholic mode
Where each avenue is familiar
with most streets earlier strode
Routine at times is daunting
with a longing for spirit to sway
To ditch comforting environs
and step out in a jumbled array
Whole lot would try and dissuade
for impending sensibilities to deter
Tad difficult may prove the final call on,
the path which one would prefer
Expected or if were otherwise
some point in future would try and spell
Proving heart's precedence prevailing over
what head was trying to tell

Soldiers Of Darkness
These are the creatures- born to be wild
Nightmares and pictures of uncertain kind
Born again to kill- any luscious dream
Caught in a war- where they love you to be
In the darkest night- they taunt ya
Mean- in the way they haunt ya
Is that the fight you battle for
Everything is dark- pain is creeping up
Wake up chilled with fear- like never before
Tonight- tonight- gonna have to push for more
In the darkest night- they taunt ya
Mean- in the way they haunt ya
Hey you- take me higher- higher to the danger zone
To the danger zone
They love your sweat - they are collecting tears
You die- you cry- just a dream and nothing more
You cannot hide- you cannot fight
All you want is leave- leave this evil dream
In the darkest night- they taunt ya
Mean- in the way they haunt ya
Hey you- take me higher- higher to the danger zone
Hey you- take me higher- higher to the danger zone
But morning light will free you
Fears and tears are gone
Here they die- the darkness soldiers- another war is won
These are the creatures- born to be wild
Nightmares and pictures of uncertain kind
Wake up chilled with fear- like never before
Tonight- tonight- gonna have to push for more
In the darkest night- they taunt ya
Mean- in the way they haunt ya
Hey you- take me higher- higher to the danger zone
Hey you- take me higher- higher to the danger zone
But morning light will free ya
Fears and tears are gone
Here they die- the darkness soldiers- another war is won

Around in Circles
Logic needs dumping
while walking away from environs secure
The known at times is daunting
and unknown proffers the cure
The heart were always listened to,
let head for once take a call
To go with along that amuses,
than what pretentiously does appall
Questions aplenty with resolves a few,
is a one off many a stance
Crack I must each query
to seek the way out of the circumstance

It Doesn't Come Easy
Into a zone I own and claim.
And not only am I featured...
But I'm there in every scene.
Into a zone I own and claim.
And it took me quite a while,
To establish my own style.
It doesn't come easy,
To get up from a fall at all.
No matter who depicts,
What the picture represents.
It doesn't come easy...
To decide and get the nerve to play ball.
With thoughts of getting rid,
Of any suspect competition.
Into a zone I own and claim.
With thoughts of getting rid,
Of any suspect competition.
Into a zone I own and claim.
With thoughts of getting rid,
Of any suspect competition.
It doesn't come easy,
To get up from a fall at all.
No matter who depicts,
What the picture represents.
So many find their comforts in like minds.
Hoping that all will agree,
To their wants and spoiled needs.
Into a zone I own and claim.
With thoughts of getting rid,
Of any suspect competition.
Into a zone I own and claim.
With thoughts of getting rid,
Of any suspect competition.
It doesn't come easy,
To get up from a fall at all.
No matter who depicts,
What the picture represents.
Into a zone I own and claim.
It doesn't come easy,
To get up from a fall at all.
Into a zone I own and claim.
It doesn't come easy,
To get up from a fall at all.
Into a zone I own and claim.
It doesn't come easy,
To get up from a fall at all.
It doesn't come easy,
To get up from a fall...
At all.
At all.
At all.
It doesn't come easy,
To get up from a fall...
At all.

When men are brought face to face with their opponents, forced to listen and learn and mend their ideas, they cease to be children and savages and begin to live like civilized men. Then only is freedom a reality, when men may voice their opinions because they must examine their opinions.

Pussy Sugar
I can taste the wreckage
Of dismembered dreams
Ghostly disciple, nothing as it seems
I will follow you until this dark cloud recedes
Pain of another, heal this I plead
My heart still bleeds for you
[chorus]
Take the long way home
My heart still bleeds for you
Solemn times stain us like
The blood of all that's unknown
This cursed you the worst
Give me your love
Solemn times stain us like
The blood of all that's unknown

Where Is the Justice In This?
I struggle with desires and wishes to remain ambitious.
To stay productive with a craving,
To release a freshened and creative point of view!
Unjaded by perceptions,
Becoming tainted by lack of drive and motivation.
I remember the days I sought ways to alarm.
To raise the hair on the backs of necks.
And to instantly fold arms...
By those totally disgusted!
But today I complete,
With those exposing their butts on urban streets.
And cussing with abandonment.
And not one eyebrow I see is lifted.
It use to make me happy to upset by surprise.
That was easy for me then to do.
Since I kept my true talents hidden in disguise.
Today it has become 'work'!
With no fun in it at all!
Especially when misfits are getting attention.
And everyone tries to look like them...
By spending every dime they've got at the malls.
And I had provided my weirdness absolutely free!
Genuine I had been with unique ceativity!
Today freaks are 'in'!
And I am regarded as common as Maple trees.
Where is the justice in this?
