Quotes about request, page 21
Mind Food
Mind food collects in my stomach,
And so I am an esper, the powerful one,
Who injects beliefs into disillusioned minds
For the spirits I request.
It takes a kilo year, a thousand years,
To abstain from powers so great,
Like a needler in the head and mind;
It needs too much mind food.
Minds of intelligence can grok, and spill
Valuable thoughts as well.
Minds need to be understood by scars
That feed into other minds - this is my religion.

My Soul’s Possessions
I have the possessions of the world,
I speak for life on this clay that sounds,
My madmen surprise nobody, for they glow
As the words are righteous for them to be.
Drive us from the thorned bush,
Bonds of slavery arrive to claim,
And the come back of our event
Teaches the madness of the times.
Departures keep coming and despair
Is singing like dance, souls leave
To find more comfort with the only request.
I drive all souls to their worlds.

Now Came Death
I slowly and quickly overcame death,
Its grasp was hidden from my soul;
At first this initial request came from energy
This way and that, licking the wounds as of now.
Victory meandered in the pathways of justice,
Kicking and pulling the thoughts so solid,
On a sloping ground it hurt.
Then the faster you walked they disagreed
As of now, as if solutions of water and other solvents
Converged and diverged when the wetness
Occurred, as of now.

Requests
So twist your head in this direction,
With some obedience, without disagreement.
Change this reality if you dare,
If, if you stare and escape this request.
The learning has belief of a simple heart,
You twist with humility, your body changes
Yet you do not. Obey and reply to this
Like a creature can profit.
There are so many requests,
I discovered and memorized my book
To find answers to these questions-
These requests, these requests.

I am an old Turkey bird
Month of November yawning
And wait for the thanksgiving
An expression of gratitude!
God knows that I am good for nothing
Even the twitcher ignores this godforsaken.
And I have a small request from partakers,
If you don't cook at least keep me under the table
As a partner then I can tell my friends that I have already participated!
* 'I like a little rebellion now and then. It's like a storm in the atmosphere.'
-Thomas Jefferson

In good days and bad days!
While resting in the prison of life
You strum your sensitive heart strings
That play the tune of innocence!
And you light a half burnt candle
on the altar, place a tiny fragrant flower
Kneel and pray, request benefits
A solace for the wound
That never heals?
In good times and bad times
You sing that short song
For a long life?
[Choose a job you love, and you'll never have to work a day in your life.]
-Confucius

Angel of my nitemare
Angel of my nightmare
Come down and stop this pain tonight
Stop the hurt that's deep inside
Stop the me that want to fight
Angel of my nightmare
Are you really there?
Or are you just a figment of my mind
Something deep inside
Angel of my nightmare
Are you a part of me?
Or do you have your own eyes to see
The me in misery
Angel of my nightmare
Please answer my request
Close my eyes forever so I may see
The point in all the misery

Twinkle Twinkle
Of all the stars that dot the sky.
One single star attracts my eye
it shines more brightly than the rest.
of all the stars in that vast host.
Why should this star appeal the most?
I do not know the reason why.
I rack my brain I really try
hard to resolve this mystery.
I have no reason now to boast.
It feels as though I failed some test,
perhaps a reasonable request.
A feeling I cannot deny.
I simply can’t communicate
the stellar distance is too great.

Mediocrity At My Best
If there is something,
Anything...
That you would like me to do,
For you.
Do not perceive my time as being available,
At the dropp of a hat.
Last minute situations?
I do not rush to prepare for that.
That may be 'your' custom.
And it shows in what you produce.
However...
Anything anyone gets from me,
Has a quality that time, thought and effort...
Creates!
I'm not one to deliver,
Mediocrity at my best!
And I know my response to your request,
Upsets.

My lifelike friend with me a lifelong journey
She comes with me since last few days
Her strange name is Deathly,
A spinster, big bursting bust with a slim figure and round buttocks
And she expects a platonic love.
She grumbles; ' I do not take you now and you have enough time to finish your book and I have a humble request that I want to be nude in the front cover of your Anthology.' She hugged me.
It's really cold like a Corpse or a Snake?
* And she promised to blow wind for my torn sails!
