Feeling shame
I hate the real
Cruel heart
Turned inward
Facing outward
Shame inside
Disapproving stare
Don't look
Deep in this heart
Shallow thinking
Shame covering
Me
False pride
Interrupting
My mind
Forgets
My name
I hate this feeling
Hiding in my mind
Digging through the trap
I've laid
Down today
The list on yellow pads
Wonder ing
Will my stripping
Down
Cover me
Stuck in the
Root of the problem
Heart

From the patriotic song--verses 4 and 5, followed by three of my own verses:

   * Thee haughty tyrants ne'er shall tame:
    All their attempts to bend thee down,
    Will but arouse thy generous flame;
    But work their woe, and thy renown.

    "Rule, Britannia! rule the waves:
    "Britons never will be slaves."

    To thee belongs the rural reign;
    Thy cities shall with commerce shine:
    All thine shall be the subject main,
    And every shore it circles thine.

    "Rule, Britannia! rule the waves:
    "Britons never will be slaves." *

When the international banks decree
that commerce belongs to them, not thee,
thou wilt arise and set things straight
and take back thy rightful fate.

When Brussels, and Germany insist
that immigrants from every shore
should find a home inside your door
(despite the people's cry--"No more!)
you quietly vote to resist.

What fire will flame from Britain's spark?
The division has been now made stark:
On one side, the elite's intent--
the other way, the people went.

With all the wrong notions
How are actions sound?
In the heat of emotions
With groundless ground
In the world unlimited
With the counted days
Without soul’s bid
One always strays
Being crown of creation
One can change his fate
And with every limitation
One can always be great
Excellence in helplessness
Can only be achieved
When God’s transcendence
Is properly received

Winter has just set in
Like a beautiful tasty sin
Snow has started falling down
To cover the land with whitish crown
She is out to play in snow
Love is ready to flow and grow
Flakes of snow when touch her cheek
Beauty plays hide and seek
Pink flowers pay tribute
Then a lover comes in pursuit
At a glance eyes salute
She is innocently cute
Love is pure, beauty is white
Light just embraces light

Life is a series of dour ,complexities and abstract
Every abstraction causes an other for its sake
It is like a beggar's *** at times fiction at times fact
Looking few for pennies to buy bread or cake
From abstractions what humans have to select
In plain words what they are authorized to take
Few sand castles or innocent wishes so correct
Still in this duel we have to take and to partake
To prove that we are the ones who are to be perfect
World is so false sham and defrauds to a limit
Still we claim that we deserve to get heaven in pack
And divine wine to sip bit by bit with a lady by writ

Clean heart and clean eyes are real bless
Clear communication is the key to success
It is not good to play with innocents chess
Face is the index of mind of personality dress

Blessed is the one who helps all and sundry
Keeps all in solace and remains himself free
He is the one who keeps all under shady tree
He is not jealous and does not carry jealousy

Love comes and takes him on a love ride
He is rewarded for his real generous stride
He always in reality remain real love guide
Even if he dies,is remembered far and wide

I've been down a little in the wrong side of town.
Somewhere out there that girl still remembers my smile;
I have loved and lost and I have always seen it through.

The stories I tell can be told by any of you, that's not what makes em special. It's what makes them true.

Now the sun gets higher in the sky and the days get warmer and the world keeps spinnin', these are just the way of things.

I have been strungout on the road in bars and under tables.

Left my number in ledgers, left my heart with the girl before you and you'll get to hold it to.

I've never met a woman who I couldn't fall in love with, no matter of five minutes or five years.

My skin is tough, but my back is strong, heart is on my sleeve which is why I always land in trouble.

Always a had a weakness for a cute girl with a killer smile.

So now here I sit at another bar in another town and wonder who I'll be with tonight, it's a question I don't need to ask because I'll never put up a fight. I break the hearts before they break mine, fragile muscles inside a glass case, handle with care, you break it you buy it.

Sadly the truth is neither of us can afford it.

I can let my heart break because it won't end me, it may sting, it may hurt but it won't phase me, it won't affect me as much as you think, I'm just looking for the girl who can heal the pain, who can replace the bottle, who can challenge the sky to take me and make me feel ok.

We all have a place
Where secrets are made
The ones we would rather hide

More often than not
God takes what we've got
And brings it into the light

Beyond the shadow of doubt
Your sin finds you out
No matter how hard you try

It's best to make
The paths you lay straight
Keeping God right by our side
