The Loop

I .. do ... i, i, do ...
I just wanna say
I haven't been away
I am still right here
Where i always was
So one day, if you're bored
By all means call me
Because you can do
(only if you want to)
I just wanna say
I haven't been away, oh
I am still right here
Where i always was
So one day, if you're bored
By all means call me
B - because you can do
But you might not get through, honey
This ... for me ?

The Only Thing You Do Not Get

Have I ever not,
Supported your confidence?
Have I ever not,
Wished you unlimited success?
Have I ever not,
Been by your side...
With a pride I did not hide.
And have I ever not cried,
When you denied yourself respect.
The only thing you do not get,
Is the message.

Sonnet VI: This door you might not open

This door you might not open, and you did;
So enter now, and see for what slight thing
You are betrayed.... Here is no treasure hid,
No cauldron, no clear crystal mirroring
The sought-for truth, no heads of women slain
For greed like yours, no writhings of distress,
But only what you see.... Look yet again--
An empty room, cobwebbed and comfortless.
Yet this alone out of my life I kept
Unto myself, lest any know me quite;
And you did so profane me when you crept
Unto the threshold of this room to-night
That I must never more behold your face.
This now is yours. I seek another place.

What You Do Not Understand Seems To Be The Most Beautiful....

i have a bad voice
so do not expect me to answer your call

what you will hear
will be the sounds of coarse sands
clashing with pebbles
not the slushy sand that
Matthew hints
on his tryst with Eliza
on the secret bank
of the lonely river

albeit
what i ask of you is just read my letters
(or have time
with my poems
concealed symbols lurk there
like an old church
scroll

you will meet an old man
who is cantankerous
who drinks Tanduay all day
and night
and then forgets everything
nasty
and sleeps)

i do not ask for more
because i cannot stay that long
here
or somewhere

the more i put my feet on something stable
the more aches i have
i become sore like my toes
and they scream like
hungry puppies

the chickens feed on dung
and dung becomes justified
as a need
somehow

do not find
or look for consistency
that is passe
have familiarity with one that
is so unrelated like a metaphor
but strikes deep
in the heart of the most logical
connection

for all you know
what you do not get
or understand
at least for the moment
seems to be the most beautiful item of your life

and then the misery comes
when you finally understand it
and it is
bland, it is numb

listen to me
please, read my lips,
that is what the old drunkard
said to
the triumphant
and
startling turtle.

Into A Place Where You Are Not Welcome

when you find yourself
in such a place
you imagine yourself
in the middle of the fire

the fire burns all day
you may not get charred
but you finally find your body
without nerves

you walk with them
and you feel that you have no more heart
that beats inside your
chest

why stay in that place for long?
inflicting death to the very pulse
of your arm

We Believe In God

We believe in God
And we all need Jesus
'Cause life is hard
And it might not get easier
But don't be afraid
To know who you are
Don't be afraid to show it
If you believe in God
If you say you need Jesus
He'll be where you are
And he never will leave you
Sing to me now words that are true
So all in this place can know it...
We believe in God
And we all need Jesus
We believe in God
And we all need Jesus
We believe in God
And we all need Jesus
Sing to me now words that are true
So all in this place can know it...
We believe in God
And we all need Jesus
We believe in God
And we all need Jesus
We believe in God
And we all need Jesus

Dear Daddy

I know it might be too late for you to get this....
Because you might not get to see me....
But your love is something that I will truly miss....

To Jesus I can only pray.....
I hope that He passes this to you....:
'That I am sorry and hopefully that you will forgive me one day….
And yes, you were right about the things in life that I might go through'....

Thank you, Jesus for passing this to me....
And for letting me know that I am still a part of his life in his heart.....
It brings tears of happiness in the things that You(Jesus) bring me to see.....
And that you never let our love grow apart.
Jesus I also need to say, 'thank you for being the middle man'....

And for being there to help me support him when his pieces in life started to fall....
Son, I am proud to say that I can glad that you have learned and are now taking a stand....
And even though I am no longer here, don't worry about me because I will see you again at the final heaven call....

Never Give Up

living with me
I don't think it would be so bad
this is the first time this year
that I'm not going to make you mad
I'm tired of my conscious
always telling me to stop slipping in
but I can't waste a second
on trains that will never begin

everyone has a head upon their shoulders
we're losing our pride as we all get older
everyone has to become their saviors
you might not get it right
or you might realize that its too late

don't back down
I'm over the past
can't you see
don't back down
I don't really care about before
before you met me

is it cool if I see you tonight
there's a thousand questions
I want to ask you
if you think that its alright

everyone has a head upon their shoulders
we're losing our pride as we all get older
everyone has to become their saviors
you might not get it right
or you might realize that its too late

don't back down
I'm over the past
can't you see
don't back down
I don't really care about before
before you met me

so don't take anything for granted
sit outside in the rain
an excuse you know I planned it
every ending
its all the same

don't back down
I'm over the past
can't you see
don't back down
I don't really care about before
before you met me

What Love Mean To Me

When you are in love you have to put hundred percent into relationship
When you say I love you should mean it and not joke about it, it's not funny
What love mean to me
Are feelings you felt for the first time with that person
You should cherish that person good because
They going be gone out your life without you even realizing it
If you lost that chances
You got to learn to work to it out and figure out on your own
Do what the other person wants to
Try new things and take risk with one you love
You got to learn trust the other person
Being with someone you been waiting for is so magical and beautiful
Don't let that person slip away
You might not get that second chance
Try to do something nice or romantic for that person
What love mean to me
Is enjoying life and share happiness with your love one
We all will get in argument with each other
Then we start thinking about our exes or just go somewhere to think
At end it be fine or not depends on situation went on
You shouldn't let that get in the way of having each other
You should make compromise with your love one
You guys will work something out as along as you guys meet in middle it be good
One day you guys want to get marry and start a family or just have each other
Chemistry and sparks will last forever
If you go back to memory land and found out
Why you guys fall in love in first place and
Just want each other forever and always
If you learn from mistakes
Life won't be difficult
You need just learn to open your ears and eyes
You should never lie in relationship then it's not really one
Love should be on top of your properties
Don't let friends and work stop you from being with that person
No matter how hard things get
You guys can overcome it together
What love mean to me

Jobism-According to Uncle Bob

'Jobism'
he said
'the real disease of the 2Oth century'
Bob was warming up to the topic.

'Now you take my grandfather,
what he wanted was his own piece of land
the ability to run his own life
he didn't work all his life for a job.
He worked for land and the independence
that land meant.

It has been that way for all of history of the human race.

From the cave man marking up the cave walls
to the rancher, the farmer
and the homesteader,
all we have ever wanted was a piece of land
to call our own.

My people came here to America not for a job
but for freedom.
Now we are settling for cubicles.

Mere one-hundred years ago
they taxed us off the land
gave to the corporations;
the farmers left the land,
got herded
into the dirty cities
plopped down into factories
becoming wage-slaves.

My Grandad is still bitter about that.

Now our kids are taught be good,
get a good education
and try to get a good wage-slave job.

One hundred years ago
it was get your own piece of land,
be independent,
don't be beholden to any man,

don't let the authorities run your life.
What a change huh?

This has had for more impact
than we think.
Hitler's minions asked why did they gas the Jews
and their answers were, 'it was my job.'

People in experiments will kill other people
if scientists in white lab coats tell them its ok to do so.

Whole nations go to war and maim
because somebody told them it was their job to do so.

Job one
means obedience is number two,
obedience to those that you might not ever obey
except for they tell you
obey me or your family starves.
or you can't get a good job.

We need to sever the wage-slave
from the job
which enslaves.

Cities never really worked
they create wealth for the few
and poverty for the many. Still does.

My idea, ' he said'
is I don't want no job:
I want independence.

Then he smiled.

Something magical happened when I turned 25 - I looked in the mirror and was like, 'You might not get carded for an R-rated movie anymore.' Like I didn't have a little stick figure anymore.

Most good roles are written for young men. We are fixated on youth. So however much people say there is nothing wrong with being bald, the reality is once the hair is gone, you might not get the parts.

Hard Done By

It makes me mad
when someone says they hard done by
because they did not get everything
for Christmas or their birthday.
They never look and see
what they really have.
Theirs eyes are only for material things.
They forget the love that surrounds them
from their family and friends.
That should be enough for anyone to have.
It’s better than being unloved
and having very few friends,
feeling lonely everyday.
I have had my share of that.
Parents who did not care,
who shamed you for what you did.
Do not tell me you are hard done by
because you did not get material things
for Christmas and your Birthday.
There are people out there
who have a lot less than you,
and you will not hear them whine and complain.
Just look around you at what you have
and be thankful for it.
There are those far worse of than you.

Like The Rain

I never liked the rain until I walked through it with you
Every thunder cloud that came was one more I might not get through
On the darkest day theres always light and now I see it too
But I never liked the rain until I walked through it with you
I hear it falling in the night and filling up my mind
All the heavens rivers come to light and I see it all unwind
I hear it talking through the trees and on the window pane
And when I hear it I just cant believe I never liked the rain
Like the rain I have fallen for you and I know just why you
Liked the rain always calling for you Im falling for you now
Just like the rain
When the cloud is rolling over thunder striking me
Its as bright as lightning and I wonder why I couldnt see
That its always good and when the flood is gone we still remain
Guess Ive known all along I just belong here with you falling
Like the rain I have fallen for you and I know just why you
Liked the rain always calling for you, Im falling for you now
Just like the rain I have fallen for you
Im falling for you know just like the rain
And when the night falls on our better days
And were looking to the sky
For the winds to take us high above the plains
I know that well find better ways to look into the eye
Of the storms that will be calling
Forever well be falling
Like the rain I have fallen for you, and I know just why you
Like the rain always calling for you, Im falling for you now just
Like the rain I have fallen for you and I know just why you
Like the rain always calling for you, Im falling for you now just
Like the rain I have fallen for you and I know just why you
Like the rain always calling for you, Im falling for you now just
Like the rain
Like the rain
Like the rain
Like the rain
Like the rain
Like the rain

We all laughed. It was more like that whole thing that I was talking about earlier. You go to training camp and after the season is over, you might not see the guys for six months until you go back to training camp.

Not Being An Advocate For Fools

With each step of incompetence they take...
Leads them closer to their own demise.
The Earth lives, breathes and thinks.
What ignorance of theirs is believed to be hidden?
And from who or what?
They have totally adopted isolation,
As a means to conduct their destructiveness.

However...
To affect ALL of life?
To this Mother Nature has said, 'No! '
Not being an advocate for fools.
Fools like this have to be shown the door.
And appropriate will be their exit!

I Can Not Teach You How To Get It

Yes, I have my issues.
With each I have admitted.
There are struggles I've been through.
And some I still have that I deal with.

I have my days when my flaws loudly speak.
With blemishes I wear and carry,
Exposed publicly.
And accepting 'me' as I've done.

I know I feel a freedom.
That seems to conflict with no one...
But you!
And I can not teach you how to get it.

Because You Were Not There

I've seen the mountains
rise in the sky.
I've seen the plains
with wheat growing high.
And none of it meant
anything to me
because you were not there.

I've held a daisy
up to the sun.
I've counted its petals one by one
to see if you were
true to me?
because you were not there.

How long you've been gone
and where you did go?
No one can tell me
for they don't know.
I keep on waiting for your return.
The tears in my eyes, oh how they burn.

I've heard the music
that meant so much.
I've waited so long
just to feel your touch.
But none of it meant
anything to me
because you were not there.

I Can No Longer Live For you

I spent my life loving you-
not someone like you, but YOU;
not a part of you, but YOU.
I spent my life knowing you,
hearing your heartbeat, painting your smile;
memorizing your thoughts, reading your eyes.
You thought that if you wear a mask,
I wouldn't know at all.
But then I do, coz all my life
I did nothing but living for you.
It's not your face that matters at all,
I can always see your soul.
You might not tell me if youre there
but I can feel your shadows.
It's not your voice that matters at all,
I can always hear your heart.
I can recognize your footsteps,
I can read what's on your mind.
You know that I would sense the truth,
you know that i would feel it.
You didnt tell me- were you afraid?
You twisted all you said.
I loved you and I love you-
I can always forgive you...
I can always understand you.
I waited to hear the truth from you
but why the silence?
Maybe because you dont love me
enough to tell me;
you dont love me enough
to win me back...
you dont love me enough
to care what I feel.
You just dont love me and Im sorry
I can no longer live for you.
I cant forever live for you.
Many times i hoped that i could touch forever
and beg him then to stay.
But then he didnt-
Yet, I wont live forever just to feel your love.
Im sorry, I cant do it-
I can no longer live for you...
but die for you, I will.
