Our course, then, is clear; if we desire to put an end to pauperism, or to lessen it, we should import everything we can use or sell, in order that we may employ our unemployed hands, in making the goods by which we pay for these imports.

To fall in line
Everyone busies himself
That he will have no time
To share your grief or joy.
Everyone busies himself
That he will have no time
To lessen your burden.
Stop busying yourself
And attend others problems
Then they will fall in line.

This circulating medium has a natural tendency to lessen by degrees the value and the use of money, and finally to render it powerless; and consequently to sweep away all the crushing masses of fraud, iniquity, cruelty, corruption and imposition that are built upon it.

Thought Transference Fails?
Where are you my friend
need you the most
where are you my friend
am in the dark
telepathy.......
don't you sense it this time
the hell am going through
sympathy is not what i need
sorry is not what i need
just a few words of care
lessen the pain am going through.

A Hug Each Day
A hug each day
Will drive your blues away
To welcome you
or i hate to see you go
It will lessen your pain
and be assured
that every thing's okey
That's why God gave us arms
to hug each one with kindness and love
so here's sweetie Meggie
to give you a hug each day
and here's my hug...

About The Tears
tears from your eyes
and if i be poetic enough
to calm you and
lessen your pain
i shall tell you that
tears are pearls
and that your sob
is a song of a
woman of beauty
but you cut me short
and touch my lips
with your hands
and you tell me with
the truth of your silence
you are mourning
and my poems are
not of help.
