1 listen to the majestic tale of a wooden cross,the passion of the story fills roy soul with sadnessfrom a man

(Jesus Christ)-1 read another tale of what is fiction, of a man,who bravely gives his life for the life of othersand his love .

(Sidney Carton; A Tale of Two Cities)-A wise man once said :"The needs of the many ...outweigh the needs of the few...or the one."

(Mr. Spack, Star Trek)-A journey of a thousand mileshas begun with a single step(Lao Tzu)"For those who need to know,And those who want to know."

Game of LoveAhhhhI sing myself to sleepWondering if I'll stay on my feetI cannot lose this game,Or I'll bow my head in shameI'm trying hard to dance aroundthe things I don't understandI see the score I havethat I couldn't achieve\'Vouldn't achieveI can't stand it anymoreDoes anyone pass the game of loveI would never think soSo many people lose andmany happy people winI give up on this tragicand I mean tragic finaleA life long sadness of losing agame I've never played beforeI lose with my love in my heartAhhh ....

InMy OwnWorldIn my own worldAll I see is warEveryone at each other's neck,Pulling the life out of themIn my own worldDevoid of all feelingMy heart raging fullAlong with black bloodIn my own worldAll the starts run awayFrightened ... ofMy own worldDevoid of all feelingIn my own worldI'm laying on a hill withburnt trees and dead flowersWith dead bees all overIn my own worldIn my own worldexhaustion, depression,suicide, genocide,are the government

In my own worldIn my own worldIn my own worldI'm fleeing my own worldIn my own worldShadows run awayScared of their mastersTrying to execute themIn my own worldAll I see is a devilRed sky with everyoneWearing bla.ck robesIn my own worldno law, no orderno land, no sandno sea, no oracleIn my own worldI feel so alonePondering why isit this wayIn my own worldI see nothingabsolutely nothing!

My EarthI'm leaning on a treeI feel the floor rumbleIclose my eyesIimagine hugging ,This giant ball I callmy home. I treat theEarth as a pet, which l [ave. As I treat'her' better, the Earth treatsus humans better. I lovea furry creature ..I siton this ground, on top ofthe world, I love my EarthDay of the DoveThe dove passes through time;It flies through nightPursued and escortedBy its allies the barIt flies through the dayPursued and escortedBy its fellow birds of the sea\Vings purged; beak pursedNo one can stop itToday it flies no more;It's the last day of the dove

Love StoryHow can I find awayTo simply saywhat Igotta sayHow can Ifind a wayTo sit down and prayHow can I find a wayTo find that special sprayI t smells so sweet and fineIt is alwayson my mindFrom the first day I sawyou,I knew it was trueYou smelled so goodYou got me in the moodI loved you right from the startI thought it would be smartTo stay and talk to youEven though our friendship was newI gave you my numberI felt even dumberI left out half the number!

Daytirne ThinkingInexplicably fineHer personality was thatof an old vintage wineHer soul had purpose;So it was upon meTo seriously investigateSo I sat down near a tree;I was comfortableI couldn't complainThere was nothing in sightNot even a fightWhy am I compelled tosituate this personinto the very complexitythat I call my lifeAnd with this very lastthought, I 'pondered it out'exactly how I shall winthis matchof wits and thoughtwith her at my sideI needn't worry

You've Foundthat Love and Feeling

A semi-circle of a fiery globesits atop a vast ocean of nearblue and fades to a distant orange watera cool sea breeze washes across my backsending a chill all over my bodysea gulls, playing beyond the blue water,searching for food, are frolicking, in loveI am content, but not whole.Laying on this cool sand at aroundsunset, I still feel my loss. She isfar away from me now, gone but notforgotten. I have a little radio nextto me. I am deep in thought whenI hear 'baby-baby I get down on myknees for you.' I say to myself Iknow this song and I begin singing'you've lost that love and feeling.' Idisagree with that song. To me, I'velost the feeling of love, but amslowly learning to wish it back to me.She didn't leave me purposely, causeshe knew I'd give her the world,It was just a fact of life I had

to deal with.'No!' I got up and startedsinging 'Baby, Baby I'll get you back.We'll be together for love, for our love.'And as I finished singing my ownfinishing to that song, the sun finallyset, and vowed to rerum to mylove, the one r love ...

A cool breeze,A wet drop of rain,My heart pounds,Iam aloneIstrike a poseNobody noticesIam scaredIm sadIt's dark outsideAnd r don't wantto walk aloneI pray for someoneTo hold my handAnd make theMonsters go away

OutsideBut that won'thappen todayIt's raining outsideThere's nobody out thereIt's too cold; I'm cold,Nobody to keep mewarmBrrr ...Time to closethe window.

Birds were chirping as she lay on the knee high grass.She was in a field of spotty grain and weeds. Her hairwas blowing in the fresh spring breeze. Her creamcolored loose dress was dancing around her. She wasbeautiful. She had a spiritual appearance as if Godhimself laid an angel before me. I wan ted to run toher. I wanted to hug her dose and tell her I loved herand that I would want to spend the rest of my physicaland spiritual life with her. But I also wanted to stayhere, hidden, like a lion watching its prey ...or mate.My stars, she was beautiful. I was hypnotized intostaring at her. She was calling to me. I could hear herthoughts. She knew I desired her emotionally andspiritually. I got up and started to run to her. Andwhen I went near to her she changed from a beauty toa goddess and joined my souL I knew it wasn't adream. I touched her hand. Her skin was softer thancotton and as smooth as a highway. Her face wasshaped with pride and dignity like the Statue ofLiberty come to life. Artists would have adored hershape and they would then beg to imitate her onpaper. But this person, this goddess, with eyes filledwith more twinkles than a night sky filled with stars Iwill be with you forever. My angel, my love, my heart,my soul, together forever.
