#addressed
Distant coddled alabaster runs wild savoring the vortex of a muscle mired maelstrom Caligula's throne sits in the eye of the hurricane we write letters to ourselves—self absolving sin rhetorical ramparts squelch responsibility free wind tickles the tips of branches, the trees stay still. Broken bastion bereaved bunkers are built for sandstorms whether we weather the weather or fall victim to the tsunami there's a climate change in our self addressed letters— they become less about love, more about death after we see the treasure chest in the executioner's cache. Devastation hollows the oppressed a free agent becomes a Super Bowl champ by defeating those who traded him a letter sent home reads—I joined the winning team, equality is inferior to superiority those in glass houses throw stones once they're invading stone houses. Race to the top sink to the bottom of a valley where black sheep roam and scapegoats graze waiting to become predatory lions gnawing on the structured bones of lost wildebeests. Wild animals don't write themselves letters their only signature is their presence an aura of selfish instinct.

Self Addressed
Address a letter to noone ever And send it on it's way Into the gloom of another well packed bag To be carried out and then whisked away Let your focus not fall on the other Let the falsehood, the penmanship And all of the subtle friendlessness Be mailed into the distant future Far far away Just address a letter to no one ever And alone forever you'll ever stay

A Letter Sent To No One
The thing will remain the same Truth will remain as it is, the same, it won’t change. The thing will remain the same Facts will remain as facts Facts will remain the same Facts won’t change. Need of hour remains the issue Need of hour needs to be addressed Over a period of time need of hour will gain all the groud and significant importance Definitely it’s priorities that matter the most Priorities come first Rest will follow later on after priorities are followed, since priorities are the one that always come first.

ODDS – PRIORITIES AND NEED OF THE HOUR
Tu Chaahe, Tu Chaahe, Ya Na, (Whether you wish or don’t,) Main Jiyunga, Haan Main, Jiyunga. (I will live, yes I will.) Jeewan Ka Har Maza, (Each fun of life,) Main Ji Bhar Ke Lutaunga, (I will enjoy wholly,) Tune Diya Hai Jo Dand, (The punishment which you have given,) Main Karunga Ise Bhang. (I will dismiss it.) Tu Chaahe, Tu Chaahe, Ya Na, (Whether you wish or don’t,) Main Jiyunga, Haan Main, Jiyunga. (I will live, yes I will.) Tu Chaahe, Tu Chaahe, Ya Na, (Whether you wish or don’t,) Main Kab Jiyunga, Kab Main Jiyunga. (When I'll live, When will I live.) Jeewan Mein Kya Maza, (What sense is there in life,) Bin Tere Jo Bitaunga. (If I stop believing in you.) Woh Jeena Kya Jeena, (Would that be a life at all,) Har Pal ** Jab Saza! (When each moment I spend is a punishment!) To Tu Chhaaja, Haan Tu Chhaaja, (So be the shade over me, yes please,) Main Phir Jiyunga, Haan Main Jiyunga. (I will live again, yes I will.) To Tu Chhaaja, Ab Tu Chhaaja, (You spread over me, now please,) Phir Main Jiyunga, Haan Main, Jiyunga. (And I will live again.)

Tu Chaahe
I don't want to kick the hornets nest But I am felling quit depressed And begaining to get awful distressed There is things I need to express Because my chest is really compressed I know it's from all the stress It will be hard for you to digest But I have to get this off my chest This problem must be addressed I think it is for the best That all of it is confessed I know after I tell you, me you'll detest But maybe that's for the best Oooh never mind I'll just keep these hornets in their hive And stay in the shadows and hide
