The Big Red Bus
All nationalities, races and religions
Represented on this world on wheels
As sights of Paris pass by, our senses
Now immune to their immensity
One monument to history merges into another
Each story of glories and achievements
Relating to past battles against foes
Now considered friends
Each represented on the Big Red Bus

Also, it was a cultural moment that wasn't being represented in terms of women who were successful and had choices they didn't have before. They needed a show that they can watch that they felt like represented them.

Only nine States have been represented since my arrival 'till within three days. There are now Eleven States barely represented. This tardiness in the States or their Delegates, besides retarding the most important Business makes it exceeding fatiguing to those that do attend.

History!
Spoken words are history
Records of some remain a mystery
And when today and tomorrow
Row bitterly over yesterday
Today will become history
With just an empty space
Enlightened by a darkened face
History reminds me of a repetition of events
Dancing to the rhythm of the same kind of achievements
A battle is won or lost
Every love or hatred will eventually be buried in dust
I love you
You love me
Soon our love goes down in history
Someone else will find love a new discovery
So the theory behind is history
Is to have a story that commands all glory
For the inevitable past that will last!

Ordinary Story
egoism dictates human relations
a world where fashion outshines morality
here success is written in blood-red colours
designed by the thirst for power
gather the faithful and propose a toast
to the epoch of indifference
an all to ordinary story
with aftertaste so bitter
forced to be someone I don't want to be
I'm losing myself. sinking deeper down
I'm caught in the world wound web
a time represented by the void
an excuse without content
stuck in the abyss of existence
with a content void of excuse
an all to ordinary story
this is my story
with an aftertaste so bitter
sinking deeper down
I'm caught - I'm cage
I'm gone

Represent Me
Feat. naughty by nature
Yo, they dont know how next is gonna come
Divine style in 9-7 yall
So get ready, check it out
One time
One time, ah ah ah for your mind
Yeah, check this out
Listen baby
Girl what were you thinking
When you ran down on me
Tryin to blow the spot
For all of your girls to see
All up in this place
With your hands in my face
Whats that all about
Can we talk it out babe
I gotta let you know how it is
And where Im coming from
So you can see where were at
Ill never disrupt your flow
Even when youre hanging with your little old friends
And thats a fact
Baby, come on lets get it right
We been together too long and I dont wanna fight
So take a sip on this style
Baby, be strong cuz I know you didnt mean it
1 - I dont really mind
When youre hanging
With your girlfriends
Representing
Because you represent me
And I dont really mind when youre dancing
On the dance floor with another
Because I know Im represented
T-low..
See theres no need for me to be
Having feelings of insecurity
Tell me what the drama mean
I thought that you were down on my team
When you and your crew go on the town
I know how your girlfriends be getting down
See theres no need for me to worry
Cuz I know youre down for me
Youre everything that I need baby
If you dont know me by now
I doubt that you will ever know
About my flow
I gotta get my point across to ya somehow
And make sure we have an understanding
All I wanna do is make you happy
So put down your guns and wont you let me
Be the one at night youre coming home to
Youre everything I want, youre everything I need
Repeat 1
Its alright if ya wanna go kickin
Youre all mine and I know youre represented
Its alright
Its alright if ya wanna go kickin
Youre all mine and I know youre represented
Its alright
Repeat 1 until fade

My Best Friends
For JoAnn and Meggie
There are two young ladies
I think of as my best friends.
If ever I have a problem
that was eating away at me
I could go to either of them
and they would comfort me.
I’d do the same for them
at anytime night or day.
Not only are they my best friends,
they are my writing partners in poetry
when we write under
JoJo Bean, Dodgy Dave and Meggie Gultiano.
Although we have never met
as each of us live thousands of miles away,
they are still my best friends.
Some may never understand
why I say that at all,
they may even argue that statement
saying how can you be best friends
with people you have never met.
I’d reply just look at the poetry
we have together written
it speaks of three writing together with one voice,
of friendship with a deep loving bond for one another.
Therefore, when I say they are my best friends
I say that with sincerity,
and my words come from my heart.
Therefore, ladies now you know
just what you mean to me
and I want the whole world
to see and understand
that best friends can live anywhere
even in far off distant lands.
Friendships hold no boundaries
and are not restricted by what we are.
The key is how you feel
towards every one of them.
I have been lucky in having many friends
of many religions, nationalities and creeds,
but JoAnn and Meggie are my best friends,
and I know it will always stay that way.
Thank you ladies
for always being there for me.
David aka Dodgy Dave

I'm a citizen of the world. I like it that way. The world's a wonderful. I just think that some people are pretty badly represented. But when you speak to the people themselves they're delightful. They all want so little.

Paris I adorent
France, her mystery
Her history
Around each corner
A story unfolds
The quiteness of La Seine
The elaborateness of Le Tour Eiffel
Paris I adorent
As it is you I explore
We have developed rapport
En Paris ces't ma couer
En Paris ces't ma maison
One day we will meet again
One day we will meet again

Far off Neighbor
The world has entered a social age,
But we the two,
Races tribes and religions,
Feel pleased in others defeat,
Nothing to share nothing to celebrate,
No humor but ridicule,
Want not to be a platform,
Easily a hindrance though,
count you gains,
How many?
None?
Now take these losses,
No space to place them,
too many,
children orphan,
Women widowed,
mothers crying,
Sisters mourning brothers,
Enough you two,
Enough,
Your children deserve to be friends,
Teach them love,
The enmity ends,
Practice your religions,
Celebrate,
Customs and feasts,
But be the neighbors,
For each other,
A shelter, safety, support and helper….

And therefore we must seek dialogue in this networked world. We must ask which voice was actually attempting to make itself heard and saw no other possibility of gaining a hearing. To that extent, for a while this also represented a forced opening of a cosmopolitan view.

Friends And Foes
Better are foes than friends, sometimes, oh friend
Flip through thy pages friends, pretentiously
And say, “It's great, so nice, wondrous and good! ”
But foes! Rummage with spite them ruthlessly
In search of faults, they tear you piece by piece
God knows what foes unearth and well discern
In their inadvertence may discover
Precious jewels you hid in oblivion
And win you accolades of connoisseurs
So, friends or foes, never mind thee, oh friend
To friends say warm hello and thanks a lot
And there they come, your foes, with smiles crooked
Come on, up on thy feet and make salute
