State Of The Nation

You can walk, or you can run
You dont have to be someone
I went on a summer cruise
Upon an ocean born to lose
My brother said that he was dead
I saw his face and shook my head
Can you see where we cant be
Were losing our blood in the sea
cause its the state of the nation
Thats holding our salvation
Yes, its the state of the nation
Thats holding our salvation
Oh, the state of the nation
Is causing deprivation
Oh, the state of the nation
Is causing deprivation
From my home I traveled far
I drove in my stolen car
When it broke down, I kissed the ground
cause I dont kiss when youre around

You've Changed

We've been through this before......
Compromise
With me agree right now
Useless cries
I'm telling you just how
Paralyzed
There is nothing I can do
I realize
I liked the other you.
You've changed
Everything about you is strange
Look at yourself, you've changed
With the facts in your face
It's causing conflict
You've changed
Everything about you is strange
Look at yourself, you've changed
With the facts in your face
It's causing conflict
Hypnotized

Oxymoron

Oxymoron:
fresh fish

*********

JBO:

'The beach at Sanibel... an Arlington Cemetery of shells.'
*
Every suffocated or strangled fish is first given
waterboarding sensations.
*
Fishes more frequently than
mammals or birds are cut open
alive, while their eyes watch
the knifing of others and their
gills struggle for absent air.

Fish cannot scream.

Over 'N' Out

Come with me guarantee
Everywhere we go we're gonna rip it up
(Over and out)
It's free to ride
Step inside
Keys in the ignition
We're gonna burn it up
(Over and out)
I don't know what the future holds
I don't care
Place your hands, now we're on a roll
All say yeah
No one knows what the future holds
No one cares
Get in line 'cos I'm on patrol
I say yeah
No matter who you are
Just get with me
You don't need an invitation
We're tearing this place apart

Three prayers during spring

I. I did not expect this early spring

I did not expect that after this severe winter
that destroyed flowers, grass and plants
that this early
without even rain falling, showering down
spring would come in all this glory

with trees blossoming in bright white and pink colours
plants flowering
unfurling and to be again really living.

I did not expect these blessings,
in life’s early winter
that even though I am constrained,
my career is falling to pieces
and not by my own making
my words, my verses
are coming to their own

There are only three sins - causing pain, causing fear, and causing anguish. The rest is window dressing.

My Love For You

You are the nail,
That peirced my bleeding heart,
Causing my death,
And now my love for you will never be the same,

You are the very torch,
Yhat burned my soul,
Causing me to drown in darkness,
And now my love for you will never be the same,

You are the pain,
That beats me everyday,
Making things worse for me everytime,
And now my love for you will never be the same,

You the blade,
That cut every vein in my body,
Causing a foutain of red to flow out,
And now my love for you will never be the same,

A shy boy

I wished to be a shy boy
Stay at home and silently play with toy
I was hesitant to mix with people
Yet it was nice arrangement without any trouble

I offered no hurdle of any kind
Yet people took it seriously to mind
I grew with enough of concern
Now it was their ire on me in turn

It was causing me internal pain
It was wearing me out and causing drain
I rebelled and thought of repelling attack
As if something was aimed at or at stake

I was not feeling sorry
It was causing me no worry either
I had decided to counter the move
To rise to the occasion and prove

Mosquito-bite free Goodnight - from a mosquito

I am a mosquito thriving in a tropical country
We, mosquitoes, feel highly disturbed
By the crusade against us
Attempts are always on to eradicate us

The reason quoted is that
We propagate diseases
You say we spread malaria, encephalitis
And so many others including the disabling polio

You learned people know that
We have not created any of them

But it so happens when we suck blood from any of you
The disease causing pathogen comes along with the blood
And it is passed on to another person, if we go for his or her blood
You will admit we are not really the culprit
But the person who has already hosted the disease causing agent
Blame him or her, not us

A direct attack

The sun was its new height with direct rays
People were running for shed in hot days
It was really unbearable to withstand the natural fury
It was making everybody tired and weary

The scorching heat was killing many in a broad day
There was no respite and roads were deserted all the way
Not a single bird flew in to venture for water
They all were to die sooner or later

I have never witness such natural displeasure
What may happen tomorrow? I am rally not sure
The heat waves may continue for some more days
The earth is also tearing apart and giving away the way

It has affected our lives and brought everything to a stand still
The poisonous gases are released day and night from the mills
The situation is worsening and adding to the misery
We are definitely inching forward to ruthless slavery
