User-friendly
Do we inhabit some micro-space
And interface through wires.
Dance on a printed circuit board
Throw the software to the fires.
My memorys slim --- so volatile
But Im learning.
Plug yourself in. stay for awhile.
Un-discerning.
And on dusty terminals
Finger me lightly do.
And qwerty is the name of love
Printed on the v.d.u.
Cut yourself free. were all alone
Communicating.
Dont bother me with arithmetic ---
Im waiting.
User-friendly.
Thats what I am to you.
I have to break out of here.
Trapped in my hardware cell.
And come to you as you sleep tonight,
Take you back into my hell.
Binary joys and digital sighs
So appealing.
Im one of the boys and its only
Your mind that Im stealing.
User-friendly.
Thats all I am to you.

No...I Am Not That User Friendly
IF,
I am annoyed...
By anyone enjoying the implementation of it,
I will not express my agitation 'randomly'.
No barking do I do at strangers...
From a mind splitting fit like this.
No...
I am direct and specific.
I do not walk around,
Allowing others to leave me with a headache.
To pick my brain and leave me strained.
No...
I am not that user friendly.
Nor will I adopt or adapt to causes,
That usurp my beliefs or peace of mind I keep.
No...
I am not that user friendly.
Nothing I've earned is marketed...
For that kind of cheap sale.

Not My Repertoire
Being assertive is not part of my repertoire,
I have never learnt to insist on the essentials
required for health and well-being, no wonder
I am scared of a world which is well-meaning
but where I cannot begin to make myself un-
derstood - I can serve others and see to their
needs - bring them the moon
Yet for my own Puritan self, one angry look
from my beloved and I wilt like a flower, one
angry word from a colleague and I tumble in
despair - I can't ask for the ergonomically
correct work space and user-friendly chair
required for a pain-free posture - trapped
in my own mind - I can't break free
Right now I wax lyrical about Pregabalin
administered as LYRICA to deaden the
nerves and scramble the signals of
neurological pain because I sit in a
chair that is breaking my back…

Linux Concept(.SVCPD)
Name: Standardize Version Compatible Package Deployment.
Goals: 1. Make All Software On Linux Compatible By A Version Standard.
a: By this if you name something name_x.x.x.(1) and something else of the same version will not conflict with it. Only the number in the brackets will be important for this standardisation. Allow the software creators, programmers, and designers to state what stage the software is in. Why because I believe good organisation will produce better coding. Not just clean code, but clean files that call upon that code.
b: The inner compatibility is important an key. Why are Linux competing against each other? Why is it not a joint effort in it's entirety? Now I'm not speaking of their design or how something works by itself but with other and completely different software. Now imagine for a second if you wanted something that wasn't on you current os (Operating System) , but was on another Linux. Wouldn't it be nice if you could install their package. Without having to rebuilding the source to a package, compiling natively, or having to worry about if it will conflict with any of your currently installed files.
Now the third part of the version number name_x.x.2.x Let it describe the hardware it will work with. Let this number be tested and proven before it is given and if it not let the number clarify what hardware it is for and state it hasn't been completely tested yet. Thus the alpha betas what ever you want call them. Now the second number let it define a controlled listing of bugs/errors. And
let the very first number describe the current version of the modification in code or design.
Next let us add another number x.x.x.x -x
To describe any unavoidable conflicts in detail and to keep a listing of them of files in a specific version type.
Another thing I want from this packaging software.
Is the ability to covert packages between different types.
And upon conversion to.SVCPD I want it automatically generate this version number. I want to it access a database and return a number that describes everything I listed above. I want the user to see what will work, what won't, and explanation why other then just an error code. Or a compiler code. We need to make Linux more user friendly. But not in the eye candy sort of way. But instead in the usability way. Make it to where you can almost install any software on Linux within reason. I want to make it where the design of an operating system is more important then the window environment.
And it is already happening for alot operating systems already have multiple window environments installed.
Another goal is to have the software packaged in.SVCPD to no matter what software environment it is installed it calls upon files from that environment and has a gui interface of that environment. And it not to be necessary to install a different environment for it.

Heart User
She wears her hair real wild
Her nails are perfectly filed
Her lips painted deep jungle red
Her best colour is black
And the clothes on her back
Show shes a woman with style
She wears satin and lace with impeccable taste
Shell tell you it runs in her blood
In a cloud of perfume she walks into the room
And it comes to a stop when she does
Shes a heart user
No time for losers
Shell use you up and throw your love away
Heart user
A barracuda
Shell use you just dont get in her way
Oozing with charm got a girl on each arm
His eyes match his all over tan
And as he straightens his tie
Some beauty catches his eye
Brings out the best in the man
And her fresh young face makes his cold heart race
Shes wearing that deadly perfume
You must admire the skill as he comes in for the kill
Its time to attack make his move
Hes a heart user
No time for losers
Hell use you up and throw your love away
Heart user
A barracuda
Hell use you just dont get in his way
Where you been all my life
This is love at first sight
Could swear weve met someone before
She throws back her head
And she shamelessly says
You got real good taste tell me more
Then the lady in black thinks shes setting her trap
And he thinks shes playing his game
But anybody can tell theyre just into themselves
Theyre two of a kind theyre the same
Theyre just heart users
No time for losers
Theyll use you up and throw your love away
Heart users
Theyre barracuda
Theyll use you just dont get in their way...

Never trust a user
For they hurt the ones you love
They will seek you out as easy pray to get what they want
Never trust a user
They will take your heart and throw it away
They play you like you’re a toy
Then tell you it’s your fault
That things went bad between you two
Never trust a user
For they hurt the ones you love

Program
I live in a sea of computers,
Often I slay the programmers,
Offering them a slice of cake
Before I do.
I had slain my option, I had.
I have been very odd, but I’m not
Your coding, and I am very awkward
When it comes to managing
In a triply devastating idiosyncrasy.
Binary is the method of talk,
I examine his word with mine,
My robotics are advanced, but artificially sound.
Who is he? He is a user, a very exceptional user.

Can't See The One Who See through Me!
My eyes are camera,
just as a web camera,
Connected to computer,
And the is my brian!
I can see the hardware,
And sometime can learn the software,
But not the seer or the user of this computer!
Ha Ha, I laugh, it is I am,
None other than me is the user!
Ah! I fail to find myself, even before mirror,
Or mirrorlike friend,
Only I can see half of the plane,
from where I see,
O, not having eyes behind,
Neither my eyes can see my own back,
Nor my hands can scratch!
There is some thing formless behind my form,
The ocean of which I am a wave,
What I see is seen by eyes,
Processed by mind,
Presented to self,
The self I have seen as my light,
Which lights even my darkest path!
What ever I see, it never cares,
Whatever it sees, I can't see at all!
I see this,
while that does not,
What that see,
I can't see that,
I foolishly think
I can see everything,
But electromagnetic spectrum breaks arrogance of my eyes,
infrasonics and ultrasonics make me faint,
My skin can't boast, I can't touch air,
Unless air moves as wind to touch me,
My tongue can't taste sweetness of coffee,
after eating sweet
chocolate!
How can I believe these,
my senses misdirect my mind and intellect!
I can see your face, trees, fruits,
also flowers and butterflies,
See the nonexistent sky too,
Can see that mountains and clouds,
But can't see billions of bacteria on my skin!
I think I can see everything,
But Cant see from where I see,
this and that I can see,
But not the one who see through me,
He the one behind all these billion forms,
Assumes any form,
Yet remain formless,
What I can see is true,
But what I can't see hides the Truth!

Magnetic
Martin page
No self-control
A chain reaction as my body lets go
A strange kind of light
The tempo takes me and the circuit excites
Its magnetic
The rhythm of a dangerous dance
Lets dance in the static
Suck you in twice as fast
Magnetic
The rhythm of a dangerous dance
Lets dance in the static
Suck you in, youll never last
Step into the light
Make the spark ignite
Step into the light tonight
No place to hide
I keep on runnin but Im falling behind
A new kind of beat
It takes your mind, then it takes your feet
Its magnetic
The rhythm of a dangerous dance
Lets dance in the static
Suck you in twice as fast
Magnetic
The rhythm of a dangerous dance
Lets dance in the static
Suck you in, youll never last
Are we making contact tonight?
Dont break the circuit
Ill be making contact tonight
Dont break the circuit

Complex & Complicated (Life Poem)
Sophistication is the refuge of the complicated,
High maintenance, it's someone else's fault,
Infecting everyone with their little paranoias,
A black hole, taking all and giving nothing back.
Simple pleasures are the friends of the complex,
User-friendly, reliable and rather iPod-like,
Touching everyone with their magical dreams,
A desert oasis, giving all but getting even more.

Live Wire
Plug me in
I'm alive tonight
Out on the streets again
Turn me on
I'm too hot to stop
Something you'll never forget
Take my fist
Break down walls
I'm on the top tonight
(pre-chorus)
No, no
You better turn me loose
You better set me free
Cause i'm hot, young, running free
A little bit better than i use to be.
(chorus)
Cause i'm alive
Live wire
Cause i'm alive
I'm a live wire
Cause i'm alive
Live wire
Cause i'm alive
I'm a live wire
I'll either break her face
Or take down her legs
Get my ways at will
Go for the throat
Never let loose
Goin' in for the kill
Take my fist
Break down walls
I'm on top tonight
(pre-chorus)(chorus)
Come on baby
Gotta play with me
Well i'm your live wire
You better lock your doors
I'm on the prowl tonight
Well be mine tonight
(chorus)
Come on be my baby
Come on tonight
Come on love me baby
Come on tonight
I'll give you everything
You want inside
Plug me in, plug me in
I want you
Come on tonight

A friendly smile
A friendly smile
Just your friendly smile
When I think of, it makes
Me smile and afloat on the Nile
Absent, no matter long it takes
Your smile stands vividly still
In my memory and can it fill
Offered, your friendly smile
Is lovely for a being my kind
To love you I made up my mind
With your friendly smile
None of smiles can your place
Take and shrink back my pace
