Arrogant and right is surely better than humble and wrong.

Sometimes I may be totally arrogant, sometimes I may totally be the most humble guy you've ever met, sometimes I may be in between. But that's life. Who isn't like that? What's the big deal if I had an arrogant moment.

You have to know when to be arrogant. You have to when to be humble. You have to know when to be hard and you have to know when to be soft.

Humble People

Humble people
We both are
We are humble people
We are happy
We have someone that is watching out for us
Humble people
Are much happier than those who have too much
Humble people have little but they are happy
Humble people are rich in spirit
Humble people have more friends
Than those that are rich
We are not so materialistic either
Humble people
Like to enjoy other humble people also
That is the kind of people they mix with
Humble people don’t wear any expensive clothes
Humble people are good Christians
Humble people are hungry for the word of the Lord

Who's Right, Who's Wrong

Who's Right Who's Wrong
Kenny Loggins
(This Is It)
I've grown tired of fighting
Whether you're right or wrong
Whether I'm weak or strong in your eyes
'Cause this is a lonely feeling
Watching you turn away
Why does it have to be this way?
On and on tonight
You've made a point of being right
Making this a game instead of love
You should know
Where this goes.
Someone's heart will surely be broken
Before too long
If we keep on playing this game
Of right or wrong
CHORUS
Who's Right, Who's Wrong
When love is gone?
Who's right or wrong -- false or true
Never used to matter to you.
You're almost crying
Saying "I've gotta run"
Easier said than done
Tell me why
I want to know what you're hiding
Turn around and look at me
I've never been this hard to see before
If we'd only come together
For a moment here tonight
You could hold me tight
And ease your troubled mind
You should know
Where this goes
Someone's heart will surely be broken
Before too long,
If we keep on playing this game
Of right or wrong.
Right or wrong, lady
Right or wrong, baby
I'm right, you're wrong lady
You're right, I'm wrong, baby
Talkin' about who's right or wrong
It never really matters
when your love is gone
Sayin' it out
This right is wrong
If all our lovin' is gone.

Set Down Rules

Proud and arrogant!
But a humble person will not argue, dispute nor disobey set down rules;
So work very hard to develop yourself positively on this earth,
And try to change yourself from the inside first.

Temptation Inside Your Heart

(reed)
Somebody shut the door
I know where temptation lies
Inside of you heart
You can talk during this
I know where the evil lies
Inside of your heart
Well get out of here
If youre gonna try to make it right
Youre surely gonna end up wrong
Wrong wrong wrong wrong
Ah!
Thats the only chord I know
I know where the mirrors edge
Is inside of your heart
Motown
Its no even within five feet
Well if youre gonna make it right
Youre surely gonna end up wrong
You dont look like martha and the vandellas
Im just gonna start it all over again
Somebody get her out of here
Electricity comes from other planets
(its not that a bad solo. four times is pretty together)
(you can stay here)
I know where temptation lies
Inside of your heart
Yes hes ready
I know where the evil lies
Inside of your heart
Is he ready
Well if youre gonna make it right
Youre surely gonna end up wrong
Oh the hole mess start again
Well new york buildings are very hight
And not all offensive
Lock the door
Gonna carry on at infinite leght, my dear
The pope in the silver castle
Was that awful
Hey, thats fine. thats it

M.K.Gandhi, the Mahatma

To attack is not the boldness;
To ward off any is.
To live humble is not the austerity;
To earn humble is.
To pardon the mighty is not the
tolerance;
To forgive the timid is.
To win the battle is not the gallantry;
To win your wrong is.
M.K.Gandhi personified all these.

Skin And Atmosphere

Think I'll rename my heart, the calendar.
'Cause it'll surely know just when to end.
And I've been looking at you through the telephone,
as the photograph whispers that she isn't even home.
So alone, I bleed myself right in.
Unusual here breathing, inviting the silence.
But you're not ehre,
you're nowhere near at all.
Just skin and atmosphere.
And if it's not what you wanted,
better get out now.
Alone it takes me,
underneath it'll surely break me.
Underneath these things.
Twenty some years my parents let themselves leave.
I always swore that would never, ever be me.
And now you're looking at me through a new lens,
your voice on the end doesn't understand anything, nor do I.
Paper cuts for me.
Prove me wrong, I want you to prove me wrong.

Weighed But Found Lacking

Like a fly nestled on the cow's back
Deceived that it's taller than its real size
Arrogance cannot see what it really lacks
And cannot perceive the plank from its eyes.

Proud to declare superiority
And quick to pronounce sweeping judgements,
Arrogance needs little remedy
In making its rules laid in sentiments.

With sight shaded by a controlling Self
All others dim from importance.
Like a book occupying a whole shelf -
All written work pale in its Dominance.

But 'the humble will be exalted,
And as 'pride goes before destruction'
The lowly writers may soon be read -
While the arrogant led to oblivion.

'God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.' (Prov.3: 34)

Roads

Ohh, cant anybody see
Weve got a war to fight
Never found our way
Regardless of what they say
How can it feel, this wrong
From this moment
How can it feel, this wrong
Storm.. in the morning light
I feel
No more can I say
Frozen to myself
I got nobody on my side
And surely that aint right
And surely that aint right
Ohh, cant anybody see
Weve got a war to fight
Never found our way
Regardless of what they say
How can it feel, this wrong
From this moment
How can it feel, this wrong
How can it feel, this wrong
This moment
How can it feel, this wrong
Ohh, cant anybody see
Weve got a war to fight
Never found our way
Regardless of what they say
How can it feel, this wrong
From this moment
How can it feel, this wrong

I can't be different

How can I be different from others?
This idea always hounds and bothers,
I got to move smoothly and fall in lines,
Even if not to liking but pay the fines,

I can’t stand as only person,
Humble humble submission as only son,
I can’t be fed with advises in spoon,
I stand to loose race very soon,

I will have to steal the show,
Side with wrong and weight throw,
Not always with but ready to go,
Chances to be had and can’t forgo,

How to survive in selfish world,
Where hollow promises and matter the word,
Cheating, deceiving are strong parameters,
Situation differs but never alters,

I have to lie and show wrong cry,
All just show but people feel why?
I never feel regret and shy,
Role different but have to ply,

I can’t stand alone but have to side,
Keeping al secret but not to confide,
May be wrong but not all the time,
Life to believe with simple goal prime

A thought from Isaac of Nineveh

Isn’t it extraordinary – when
you come to think of it – that
the One whom atheists deny
(for then they would have to acknowledge
One greater than themselves…)
knew, knows, about humility…?

I mean, how could He?

Suppose, He hadn’t sent
such men as Jesus Christ
to show us that humility
was, is, godly, and indeed,
a path to know that One?

Would we then be treating
the humble as the self-victimising
scum of the earth? And we, assured in being
proud and arrogant?

What else could that One
know of contraries and opposites,
paradox and contradiction,
unless He (or She, or It)
knows all; knows us
better than we know ourselves?

Tophat, Cape and Evening Gloves

Please keep me humble.
Don't let me stumble on my arrogance.
Don't let my ego leave fumes of stench!
Please keep me humble.
And when I have risen to heights,
To pay much more than my rent.
Help me remember,
My talents have been to me God sent.
And He can remove all of my pretensions.
Especially those I flaunt...
Seeking attention I necessarily do not want!
Please keep me humble.
At least...
Until I have arrived to see the eyes of Oprah!
And only then will I pretend not to know you!
But as for now...
Keep me humble,
With my feet planted on the ground.

'I hope you are kidding? '

Me?
Of course.
Now toss me my tophat,
Cape and evening gloves.
I feel like taking a stroll,
Around the neighborhood!
Leaving those a glimpse...
And a taste of what's to come.

'And you believe that is being humble? '

Of course not!
I said 'Please keep me humble.'
Do you think I have any intentions,
To stay that way?
If I have to fall from a climb...
I am going to make sure I leave visuals!
I know what I want.
But I also know folks love to be entertained!

Dear Worm

There is no reason to be arrogant

In your small world you are the only rose
And he is the only caterpillar
Who wants to be your only butterfly
But in my world there are roses
All over my garden
And there are more caterpillars
And butterflies that one can ever
Think of,
So please there is no reason to
Be arrogant, dear worm...

One Of Nature's Life Forms

Like most living life forms we harbour disease
And we play host to mites and we play host to fleas
And our germs search for hosts in the freshening breeze
That we give to the air when we cough or we sneeze
Since to Nature's laws most of us never comply
The word arrogant to us surely must apply
We pray to our invisible Gods in the skies
But that we are one of Nature's life forms we fail to realize
In our search for Nature's resources when we dig up her ground
New once dormant diseases we do spread around
We may think we own Nature but we have got it wrong
Since of her we were born and to her we belong
And like all of Nature's life forms we are born to die
That is a fact of life and facts never lie.

On Death

A physician that relives,
Pangs of all maladies,
Indiscriminate to small or great;
Treads under the heavy hooves,
Who are too raised in the world,
Presses them hard to flatten
But it touches them gently,
Who crumble their rebellious ego.

A frequent visiting phenomenon,
Yet forsaken by the victims,
Rough to arrogant and proud,
But subservient slave to Omnipotent,
Fears not obeying His commands.
Removes the screen opaque or green
Eclipsing inevitable final reality.

An open door where from,
Each one has to go through,
The weak, fragile and humble,
Pass with Extra-case and dignity,
But the fat, strong and arrogant,
Are flayed ‘to shorten before,
To the size, with a chopper,
Crumbled and crushed ruthlessly,
With, forky nailed claws of death,
It is hard, really hard, very hard.

Oh man! Feast not upon arrogance,
Do fairly right deeds of charity,
Lest unbridled pride should make you,
Too fat to pass through smoothly,
From the door affixed in The lofty well.

Chorus:
Surely, surely, surely, surely,
Surely, surely, surely, surely,
I, i, i, i,

Love ov, lo lo, love ov, lo lo, love ov, lolo love you
Come rain, come snow
Come, come sunshine
Your love will stop the rain
It will melt the snow
cause youre mine
All I find to say
When I feel this way
Is just i...i
Love you, love you, love you
I love you because
Darling, youre for real
You showed this heart of mine
How a real true lovin ought to feel
Surely, surely, surely, surely,
Surely, surely, surely, surely,
I, i, i, i,
I, i, i, i,
I love you because
Honey, youre for real
You showed this aching heart
How a real true lovin ought to feel

If you feel arrogant

If you feel too arrogant
Take a trip to America.
As always happened
You have to replied
About weight height colour
And be a lier.
If you are a Khan
You will be detained
May be you a president
May be you an artist.
Sorry and apology
Is there to make you happy.
If you feel too arrogant
Go for a trip

Snowman

Snowman

I’m going to Sapporo next year to build a snowman
and win a prize, get my picture on the news and
be interviewed by David Frost.

I will not be arrogant and look down on ordinary
people, but everyone will notice that inner glow and
say: Truly there walks a famous, yet humble man.”

For I know, as you do, come spring my snowman will
melt, and only you admiration for the famous will
prevail, until someone builds a bigger snowman.
