Being briefed only once is a quaint defense. You're either briefed or not briefed.

So without getting into the specifics, I can tell you that to the extent that investigation is a relatively important investigation and meaningful, the president would have been periodically briefed.

So everything turned out fine, and we were given the opportunity to go to Washington and be briefed on the project of man in space, and given the opportunity to choose whether we wanted to get involved or not.

It's not like I just have to go to Washington and go to the White House everyday, and go to the same press conference at 10 in the morning and then be briefed at 4 in the afternoon, and then get a story on at 6.

The Changing of the Guard
They had briefed us out by Sirius
Before the stellar war
When the Rogons and Teresans
Blasted atoms at the core;
And the by-station called Sargon was
Left glowing in the night
As a lesson to us Lidyans:
‘Defy us - and we fight! '
It was known among the planets
Scattered twenty parsecs wide,
That the distant planet Akron
Was abysmal in its pride,
Our infiltrators were Germals,
And they told us, without doubt,
That the scientists on Akron
Were about to blast them out!
They had built some great contrivance
In a country known as France,
Blasting protons at each other
Just to see if they could dance,
But the chance of anti-matter being
Spawned is our concern,
We could travel there to stop them,
Or just watch their planet burn.
They're like children in a playpen
Thinking everything is fine,
And they nod and smile at danger
Like a strange but new-laid wine,
But they have no understanding
When they try to act like God,
That creating anti-matter would
Destroy the earth they trod.
And the blast would take their planet,
And the blast would take their moon,
It would spread out in its violence for
One single afternoon,
It could gobble up the planets
That revolved around their sun,
And feeding on the solar rays
Might take out everyone!
We turned our battle-fleet to cruise
On through the universe,
Engaged the ion drive and set
The warp to speed our force,
We knew we had to navigate

I Must Stay
I am coming out of youth
The wind is blowing from south
I smell its fragrance and enjoy
Dream about world with enormous joy
The sea is posing me formidable challenge
I think that I shall be able to manage
I am unable to measure its deepness
But of course it may be stiff challenge to face
I can see no end as vision gets blurred
It doesn't reach far end when shared
Only blue waters reflect sun shine
That reminds me of very much tough time
I have no means to cross
Yet with many ideas to suppose
I have an aim to venture over waves
Even with no available means to dare
I am briefed about vast treasure beneath
But how to explore even at the cost of death!
Sea may not allow me to reach at the bottom
It might have been tried sever times but successful seldom
I never get disheartened
As so far nothing has threatened
I am of the firm opinion with strong wish
The sea is meant for me and I must reach
I have small boat to sail
With no gadgets to get help if on the way failed
No directional help except with flow of wind
I am still hopeful of many things to find
I may be lost on the way
I may be even drifted away
Still I hold the hope of bright ray
Life is meant for me and I must stay

Figures Don't Lie (edited)
you must understand that what costs
us sleepless nights
and these ugly eye-bags are not
really the words, but the
numbers,
yes the numbers those digits
those symbols
they are the least common
denominators
and numbers are figures and figures
as you must have been briefed by the famous adage department
figures do not lie.

May surely cease
It pinched me internally to tease
I feared heart may surely cease
It was not behaving as usual
I tried to look normal and take it as casual
No it was not normal type unrest
I forced me to think as far as best
It did not help me either way
I was drawn in some game and pushed away
I tried to brush it aside
The concept was agreeable but very wide
I had remained aloof from such feeling
This one had come unexpected and willing
Each part of the body worked in normal fashion
Though whole body preferred relaxation on cushion
This was happening in cool and peaceful night
The heart may not allow having rest without her sight
I feared something may happen at odd hours
The eyes had exchanged greetings at doors
It was coming like fresh scene in the mind
Where was peace to sleep and next day to find?
The arms were ticking away silently in clock
It was assumed correctly what will be in stock?
It was not speeding to get rid of silent night
The good man in me was simply lost without any fight
I shall definitely ask about the dark magic
I could not find anything behind as logic
It was simply a surrender to open invitation
I could well guess and judge the indication
I was briefed by senior friends about down fall
They cautioned me to go slow before responding the call
I knew it was impossible to respond in such a way
I was drawn closer and nearer without any say
It compelled me to thinks about great world wars
They could have been averted and pushed very far
Had this merchant of deaths smelt a peaceful rose in varieties?
The fragrance might have traveled across and beyond boundaries
I felt certain divine force behind such feeling
Though inwardly it was weakening and killing
No one can deny the tremendous thrust behind
It was felt bodily even with gentle push from wind

No to isolation
It is neither secret place
Nor solitary in any case
Don't run away with fear
Pain and agony is meant to bear
See another side of human being
The beautiful heart can be found with king
Poor and rich all long for its company
You should search and go for it like many
Ni peace may be had from isolation
Even god may not grant that indication
As love and hate can be reflected on face
It is best to leave and spend time with human race
In human sound you may find hymns
Honest urge for almighty with concerns
They are also troubled souls and search for peace
Come back to the poorest of poor and live at ease
Death has spared no one
So don't be afraid of any one
It may find you even in isolation
It will then cause you great indignation
Severe not that has been considered sacred
You are only briefed wrong and mislead
No one has found almighty in thick forest
Even if some of the time has been spent as best
People may not allow you to be restless
As they too know what can be reality on face
World is too considerate if some one is in dire need
Not all are after hatred but few are still good indeed
So love to live among and spend time
It is possible you may have good time
You may find the bright sun shine with divine message
That is all we need in our entire age

Undefined Elegy
I.
no matching ever been briefed
simply a sky
young with soothing sun
saluted the pain of departing
a straight road-way pitch-black
never meets any border
encouraged the move to motion
long year-close breathless enclosures
masterly entranced the draconic spatula
scattered its every shape and saliva
yet none to arrange the match
unmatched by its acrylic brights
hanging hard from sky O Sky
the indepth blotting
our plinth and plank
just do nothing
simply afloating a boat
the journey undefined...
II.
the wave unheard
unplanked
the wave origin
white but heavy
blotting and blotting
the pain
the departing
never meets any border
invites the move to motion
alone and world
world but alone
alone the world
blinking battering
banishing depth of divining
the maker of matching to unmatched
fathoms to derive the sky never ends

A Call From Jolo
the general calls from jolo
he keeps the war at ease like a soldier at rest
there is no exact information
about how many bodies are dumped
into the raging sea
or the ever silent mountain
you see wars are fought like emotions
you keep it inside yourself
the face must not show the struggle
the mouth does not speak
about casualties
the dead are buried on the night
and the missing soldiers are like names canceled on the list
the widows weep and their children look at
their memories but soon the sorrows pass
like a storm
and then it is calm again
children swim in the sea
the fishermen ride on their boats and cast their nets
tonight the general has briefed his men
there is an emergency
and the killing must, as a necessity, begin again

A Lesson In Swimming*.
(*when a young girl ventures out for her
first class in swimming she should briefed
on consequence of body baring as well
as likely presence of paedophiles) .
a young girl went for swimming class
changed in to her new suit, surprised
at her own form and size, the aura of
her bountiful beauty and freshness that
enchanted her, went in to a world of
dream, slipped in to pool like a princess,
coach in tow who stunned and amazed
at her form and fragrance held her soft
in water in his hands, spread wide.
suddenly it seemed water is hot and
boiling, quickly they moved to change
room, where he bared her nude, it
was her curiosity and his anxiety! .
