Quotes about x'hal, page 13
a fathers Pain
heartbroken, the father stays away
questions unanswered, sorrow & Mr Cry, close friends
transition a blur, the two..
little Girl busted knee, son & Dad at play...
silent witness; triggers come unannounced
the mask readjusted- tightened against the rain
when all asleep, permission to open the gates, granted
silently workmates pass judgement
understands the father, accepts the sentences'
doors left ajar; spies there anger, the disgust!
head bowed, exposed! takes it all
himself still at a loss, a Tool, mindlessly, numbingly, lost
to this existence
comfort only, knowing those Children,
stable now!
'better off they' me not there, gone

Jangan maksa
Jangan maksa cuma keinginan kita
Kalau kamu juga tidak mau dipaksa-paksa
Jangan maksa bersikap ceria
Kalau sedang tak ingin tertawa
Jangan maksa ngebut di jalan raya
Kalau nantinya malah celaka
Jangan maksa kelihatan kaya
Kalau hanya untuk gaya
Jangan maksa apa pun juga
Karena hasilnya pasti sia-sia
Jangan maksa tentang rasa suka
Karena cinta datang dengan rela
Jangan maksa tetap menderita
Karena hati bisa lebih keras dari baja
Jangan maksa tapi tanpa usaha
Karena keberuntungan bukan cara
Jangan maksa semua harus sempurna
Yang penting bermakna dan berguna

Falstaff's Lament Over Prince Hal Become Henry V
One that I cherished,
Yea, loved as a son -
Up early, up late with,
My promising one:
No use in good nurture,
None, lads, none!
Here on this settle
He wore the true crown,
King of good fellows,
And Fat Jack was one -
Now, Beadle of England
In formal array -
Best fellow alive
On a throne flung away!
Companions and cronies
Keep fast and lament; -
Come, drawer, more sack here
To drown discontent;

Padam
Apa yang kau dapatkan, hargailah
Apa yang dipinjam, kembalikan
Sebelum semuanya menghilang
Dan api di dalammu padam
Apa yang kau simpan, rawatlah
Apa yang kau buang, relakan
Bila api di dalam dirimu telah padam
Kenangan pun tak lagi bisa membakar
Mimpi pun tak bisa lagi bersinar
Jadi jangan berhenti dulu
Sebab dewa masih memberimu waktu
Sebelum semuanya memudar
Dan api di dalammu padam
Apa yang kau inginkan, kejarlah
Apa yang kau takuti, hadapi
Sebelum semuanya menghilang
Dalam kegelapan yang kelam
Apa yang kau jaga, sayangilah
Apa yang kau benci, tangisi

Bottle Left To
selfishly i have held you....stolen i have,
one to many eager hands reaching,
at all costs they drain your contents, spill they care not
reluctantly, finally
to chance the bottle is set too
left to the ebbs and tides of the great wonderer
her treatment kinder then ours i hope
but still i ask-
how will thy travel.....all alone on the great expanse,
yearns-aches this heart not to be with you, beside you
where will you go, what will you see
picture perfect stretches?
or dashed broken, cliff face won

Ned Kelly Is Proud
It's a sad sad day...
Our land, being taken from us
No care for the future..
They; take and taking,
Government balls deep'n
the miners; shut up money
A beaut dummy!
What would old Ned think?
What would old Ned do?
Eureka; those Legends!
Young Ned grew up to, truly awed..
Those Old fellas swore an Oath
under our Southern Cross..
' stand truly by each other and
fight to defend our rights and liberties '
Ned and the Eureka mob; laughing at
you young fella's! Struttin around, pill poppin
Loose pizzles, Straight off the production floor,

Vær hilset, Du Fortids Toledo
Vær hilset, Du Fortids Toledo,
Du ridderlige gamle By;
Hvor Maurerklinger blev' smeded',
om det gaaer i Verden Ry;
Her er saa eensomt og stille,
forfaldent, øde og stort;
Af rustædte Hængsler er faldet
Alcazars Vinduer og Port.
En ridderlig Gaard er nu Vertshuus,
min Stue en gammel Hal;
End pranger Familievaabnet
over den aabne Portal.
Her er ei Kamin, men et Ildfad, -
jeg hører den styrtende Regn,
Den skyller ned som en Syndflod
over den udbrændte Egn.
De nøgne, graagrønne Klipper
sig løfte langs Tajos Bred,
De kjende den larmende Fortid,
og Nutidens Eensomhed;

Rain Cycleish
as thee splashes innocently, cadence steady, blue
prepare you do, this morning hour
journey don't know where; but deep within....
knowledge of eons guided
screaming, it vibrates
rising heat and beckoning, the great one shows himself,
reluctantly, strength demonstrated
with heroic acceptance;
thy simply goes forth
the eagle suspended, how he must feel your passage,
what token goes exchanged
grateful he, nothing from you want
enduring love is all he gives
unwittingly you provide:
shadow formed, an awning for all
save thy strength friend, not all can be quenched

Peace And Dunkirk
Spite of Dutch friends and English foes,
Poor Britain shall have peace at last:
Holland got towns, and we got blows;
But Dunkirk's ours, we'll hold it fast.
We have got it in a string,
And the Whigs may all go swing,
For among good friends I love to be plain;
All their false deluded hopes
Will, or ought to end in ropes;
'But the Queen shall enjoy her own again.'
Sunderland's run out of his wits,
And Dismal double Dismal looks;
Wharton can only swear by fits,
And strutting Hal is off the hooks;
Old Godolphin, full of spleen,
Made false moves, and lost his Queen:
Harry look'd fierce, and shook his ragged mane:
But a Prince of high renown

My Father's Words
Yesterday I finally understood
“Beauty like a tightened bow”
And as read “No Second Troy”
Things, though already clear,
Became even clearer still.
Not just because of Yeats’ words,
But by what my father earlier said.
He told me that life is full of obstacles,
That some surmount those obstacles and
Move on with their lives,
While others remain adrift at sea.
He demanded courage of me,
Courage equal to my desire be happy,
And to understand people are who they are
And will not be changed by me.
My decision must be base on the good as I see,
And not anyone or anything else but that good.
A tighten bow is always ready to be fired.
So Yeats’ beauty of the tightened bow is
