You
On Monday I started to write a song, The afternoon spent lazing around, Memories of the Sunday night, Like a hangover hanging around, I close my eyes for a moment, As I always feel the day slipping away, Before I know it Tuesday is on, I start to put down words, But the end won’t come to my mind, And I know the day is slipping away For Wednesday has come now, I feel the wakening of the doer inside of me, I sit down with my pen and paper, With the t.v. switched on besides me, Oh I know the day has slipped away, Now at the centre of the week I’m on Thursday, I start for one last time, But I know I won’t finish for the next 2 days, And I wrote dad a dum da beep pada, And I’m not surprised for the day has slipped away, And I begin my weekend on the Friday, Hanging around my incomplete song, Just 5 words on the paper, My head is spinning around, And floating through time I’m onto the next one, Its Saturday night I’m partying hard, Not hard enough for my song undone is weighing me down, I’m not sure what I’m gonna do about it, So I try not to think just loose myself in the sound As I dance to Sunday morning I, I sleep from sun up to sun down, Sunday night I’m roaming around, I know tomorrow’s a new day, I’m gonna finish that song, Monday morning, I’m writing a song, The afternoon spent lazing around, Memories of the Sunday night, Like a hangover hanging around, I close my eyes for a moment, My life’s slipped past when my eyes were shut, Now I’ve forgotten what I was writing about, Back to the start I don’t have another chance, I curse life, for when I stopped it kept moving on.

Days went by, but Tomorrow never came
On Monday I started to write a song, The afternoon spent lazing around, Memories of the Sunday night, Like a hangover hanging around, I close my eyes for a moment, As I always feel the day slipping away, Before I know it Tuesday is on, I start to put down words, But the end won’t come to my mind, And I know the day is slipping away For Wednesday has come now, I feel the wakening of the doer inside of me, I sit down with my pen and paper, With the t.v. switched on besides me, Oh I know the day has slipped away, Now at the centre of the week I’m on Thursday, I start for one last time, But I know I won’t finish for the next 2 days, And I wrote dad a dum da beep pada, And I’m not surprised for the day has slipped away, And I begin my weekend on the Friday, Hanging around my incomplete song, Just 5 words on the paper, My head is spinning around, And floating through time I’m onto the next one, Its Saturday night I’m partying hard, Not hard enough for my song undone is weighing me down, I’m not sure what I’m gonna do about it, So I try not to think just loose myself in the sound As I dance to Sunday morning I, I sleep from sun up to sun down, Sunday night I’m roaming around, I know tomorrow’s a new day, I’m gonna finish that song, Monday morning, I’m writing a song, The afternoon spent lazing around, Memories of the Sunday night, Like a hangover hanging around, I close my eyes for a moment, My life’s slipped past when my eyes were shut, Now I’ve forgotten what I was writing about, Back to the start I don’t have another chance, I curse life, for when I stopped it kept moving on.

Evil might creep in different forms Depending on what's going on around ... It might come in the shape Of a hand-gun or In other shapes ... If it is a hand-gun ,then It means satanic and ugly Simply because if it is in a coward's hand , It means there will an inevitable crime and Innocent victims too ... All ugly evil-doers end in jails , hanged ,or In the corners' trash cans ... ___________________________________________________________________

An ugly evil-doer
Never love a simple lad, Guard against a wise, Shun a timid youth and sad, Hide from haunted eyes. Never hold your heart in pain For an evil-doer; Never flip it down the lane To a gifted wooer. Never love a loving son, Nor a sheep astray; Gather up your skirts and run From a tender way. Never give away a tear, Never toss a pine; Should you heed my words, my dear, You're no blood of mine!

For A Favorite Granddaughter
A doer not a talker, A finder's keepers, not a stalker, first he is A Man, gentle in his MANnerisms, but not the knuckles or his calloused hands. He does not stand out in his field, he is too busy working to increase the yield, not make best use of fifteen minutes, OF Few men can this be said, his hat still fits his crew cut hairy head. when he opens his mouth to speak, his thoughts take shape and become Words, not charged with emotion, not angered or raging, not with some rite of self- righteous indignation. He speaks his peace, and sits his *** on the nearest thing he can find, he has a sound body and a sound mind, when she decides and marries him she will find, treasure. Rare.

A Man Of Few Words
Her whispy straw-like hair Strange green eyes that never rest A smile no artist could ever paint A frown to suicide a saint Her voice fresh water that she never drinks Her measured distance covers what she thinks Laughter so human it inspires God And sends Him back to work Whilst she is unemployed She's a taker; She's a mover; she's a doer And what she gives makes charity cry Her pride is rarely spoken loud She's not comfortable in a crowd But she drinks in others As they drink in her; She is blind where they don't care. Her whispy straw-like hair transcends despair Like only a Russian knows how; Balanced compassion with a violent passion But what light in those still hoping eyes

An Ode to A Hamster
The legere sacristy of pure love blazing Feline confluence across ethereal plains Arched angelic collusion of things sepulchral The arcane occidere travisty of Transmogrification canonized Darkling eminence ordained; The verity aura of radiance Twilights tidal blood- dye magenta, Germane sleek meagre wealth chiming lo!. Finitudes golden prayer draping flounded Brutality tithing the zenith with mealy Doer aptitude majestically turbulent Sacrificing thoriums weld feudal Of heavens deceitful soothsayers, Fellow djinn of Gotterdammerung Soli of vilest stoic jingoism. ELEETE J MUIR.

The Web of Wyrd (Requiescant in Pace).
There is nothing more than a photographers dream than a sunset over a blue clear river. Its just on the beauty but the peace you must feel Your heart melting to the golden glow of the sun. But its not of the view to some anyone could a have a a van to take the love of art But must don't feel the fullness of the work There is nothing to a sports players dream to win every day The fans yelling your name and calling you the because after every goal Its the beat of the music to get you going Notes after the other and tap of your foot to keep the play No story to write itsself but the holders mind The wonder on the world and people that say its home The teaching of each lesson to the kids that have brains The thinker to the doer. You see there are more to what it seems It all has its flaws But they are all the same It makes you happy. By Me

The happy dream
The doer without desire, Who does not boast of his deed, Who is ardent, enduring, Untouched by triumph, In failure untroubled: He is a man of sattwa (the energy of inspiration) The doer with desire, Hot for the prize of vain glory, Brutal, greedy and foul In triumph too quick to rejoyce, In failure despairing: He is a man of fajas (the energy of action) The indifferent doer Whose heart is not in his deed, Stupid and stubborn, A cheat, and malicious, The idle lover of delay, Easily dejected: He is a man of tamas (the energy of inertia).

The Doer
A doer of evil deeds Selfish in the stead of Selfless A wild wicked mind A twisted and crooked heart Did love escape through, A clutched fist? Did the angel of death deliver, An old friend? Did life steal your innocence, Only to be replaced with pain? Bearing witness to rotten fruits Of your corrupt labor To see the pestilence wrought At the Arbiter's table Two choices arise Introspection weaves the way: Tread further into the deep, Embrace self destruction Or Allow redemption to chisel Carving the flesh of the ******

Mail from Asylum
Addiction what a cruel thing. To be entangled by the fiery flames of hell. Oh, how short have we fallen? I have seen many tumble into the same abyss myself included. Deep dark pit of despair. Always making you need to gasp for more air. Every family has a Judas. Or one family member may have an addiction, to later pass it on to their siblings. All my life I have been a doer rather than a hearer. The Lord is our Shepherd only if I let Him Shepherd me. As He leads me to the boldness of His merciful love. Once upon a time, I was at enmity with God. Carnel mind & all. Previously owned by the devil now I am a child of the Most High. Do you know the Shepherd?

tense as the rolled up newspaper thrown slapping against the step at dawn awakening conspiratorial slinking around the truth sleuthing sniffing my way to find out this way or that but the way about the signs the clues preachers words the same weight as the street corner girls a way to think in our detectiving then the ultimate DNA almost the penultimate remains of the doer dids the who what did whats the ne'er do wells on Mulberry street , I know them hoods no they were not the culprits I scent along above below sniff and snoof behoove behind the wildest dogs to find it was mine own trail I had found among the shivering forest green I sat considered a shylock set this up then saw the bacon on my foot I had been following. I set off again my foot clean. I will find this bandit. I like bacon , though.

A beautiful world turns round again A simple man must meet his end A bright new baby is born anew A cycle can do nothing except renew But no sick cycle is meant for us few No endless circuit to remove us from the slew Of public discord raining down from the heavens We only stay on track to see where it ends A broken sidewalk is our path to somewhere To carry us away to a brand new nowhere But no preformed path can lead us away Unless we walk forward to find our own feet at play A brand new day comes to find its own end What irony arises from the end of a beginning? When does a fresh start turn stale and still? Do our new opportunities hover until they fall? Or do we have to pluck them out of the air So thick we can’t see, what the future means us to be Are we failures or successes? Do the powers that be know that we Are the next wave of an endless storm That batters the public consciousness Leaving it forlorn and ragged By the dissent of the vocal minority We will forever be we, and that is a fact The sullen masses can’t remove our power An urge to survive will rain down like a shower On the poor souls without the life of their dreams The possibilities remain locked inside heads of lead While those without any move on ahead A world for the doer but not for the thinker Can doom the ideas of the intelligent and weaker People without the urge to move and shout Living a life of inadequacy is their only way out A great ending for these is not in the cards Instead the powerful push down the bards The dreamers who knew not the hunger To leap to the top and remove any wonder As to whom they could be Must lie at the bottom explaining the lives Of those successful but simpler spirits Who lacked the essence but held on to ambition A world that is just never comes to fruition.

with each passing day, I understand less and less, for who could ever claim to know it all, yet, the simplicity of our base-ic basest instincts makes evil so easily attractive, that now, I forgive almost nothing, anyone for the cruelty inherent in on the surfacial skin of our normalcy, so easily, revealed, and reveled in, wrecks me, and the poetry sparks are not doused, but wick and ember shriveled oh the irony, that foolish me should write of the commandment to love just as the world displays old levels of hate historically deep… .I am hated, to many who would know me only as Jew, and this refresher course in my brain, reminds me, that love thy neighbor as thyself, can morph into a generational opposite, that my former degree of comfort, beliefs, was only skin deep…and Tolstoy was a naïf, a romantic, a royal, who hoped for the best in each man, and that cannot ne achieved for hate is so easy digestible, so sweet a treat for humans, who desire no compass other than simple baseness to know which direction to take…. ————————————————————————————- ”There can be only one permanent revolution—a moral one; the regeneration of the inner man. How is this revolution to take place? Nobody knows how it will take place in humanity, but every man feels it clearly in himself. And yet in our world everybody thinks of changing humanity, and nobody thinks of changing himself." Tolstoy ”To perform evil deeds a person must discover “a justification for his actions,” so that he can regard stealing, humiliating and killing as good. “Macbeth’s self-justifications were feeble,” and so conscience restrained him.

Tolstoy uses a French expression, “Tout comprendre, c’est tout pardonner”: To understand all is to forgive all.

How was it there in Isengard, Former haven of the proud, Whose hollowed valley hid the rot Beneath its treeless hills, Ancient machinations tunneled far below The smooth, impervious tower of Saruman, The Iridescent Dazzler, Whose quiet words slipped Sauron's thoughts Inside our weaker minds? Venom running hot...then changing cold Within old Saruman on Gandalf's salutation: "Saruman the White," Changing Truth for truths, Something totally desired. "I prefer Saruman the White!" I think old Gandalf said While he was still "The Gray," (Just before his lofty spire stay). But evil magic has its ends, Tendrils turn upon themselves, Vines tangling slow or fast, Returning to the evil doer's door While Good climbs steadily to new beginnings Rooted in the Old and True, Reaching for the sun. Old Ents in righteous anger Broke dams, diverted streams to flood The war machines of Isengard, Drove Orcs and Wargs and Trolls to doom, Drowned the furnaces... Then, mourning tree-limbed kin, Greeted Gandalf on his way to greater things, And pledged themselves to holy war. Saruman the Proud, The sooty iridescent, The abject coward, Stripped of power, Fled unrepentant Into the mists of Middle Earth While Sauron's eye glared West and East, Wraith-seeking Frodo and The Ring.

Isengard Reflection
when you so dear to me do hurt me a pinpoint ***** is a razor’s slashing edge make gashing wounds and bleeding drains me bound scars to testify to the hurt the doer do magnify i flee my brittle tiny shell and don the mask of mirth but fleeing never find a chambered nautilus which i would exchange for mine a twig is bent a leaf is fallen a grain of sand is lost a page is torn teardrop falls a lost one calls when trust has grown when choice is blind when reason cannot reason a little twist a careless wink an unintended turnabout eats up a painful way to the heart that loves.

my brittle tiny shell
Stories older than kings, these exist as stories told with old ones, imaginings of messengers, seers saying this is the vision, made as plain as pi, point, plumb, line, and wall, man, made in the imagination man imagines, and affirms, this I die to know, I am made to be a doer of this, listen

In the wind...
God’s little bud of rose Reflects like a dainty prose In lines that so sweetly glows From veins that so lovingly flows God’s little doer of deeds Into souls might her goodness feed The scroll of life Unfolds and then reads She is what this hopeless world Sadly needs…. In life she moved a hero’s pace Without doubt on her pious face She who felt that holy embrace Now is done with her ultimate race Quietly rest, tender rosebud Nurture that love in your heart For us mortals alive, We must continue to battle The wars in ourselves Never to know When our precious sanity ends… Fragrant rosebud of white Gone-but not forgotten You lived as soft and mellow As the morning rain Sowing your seeds of knowledge And gain As God’s own champion You died not in vain…

skuld skuld skuldenaar dit suis vanaand in tolbos tale rond-en-wind-ge-foeter oor ‘n dor doer pad ‘n uitgestrekte stoftong lek geraamtes tot aan die silwer koppies in die Klein Karoo se maan skuld skuld skuld–in–aar is Ma ‘n vreemdeling wat staan en tee drink in ‘n ander vrou se blou kombuis skuld skuld skuld–in–haar al starend na die krake weerspieël die vensterglas ‘n aarde broos verbrokkel maar die reën sal kom my kind die reën sal kom profeteer die roes–rooi wolke al loeiend in die wind sal Ma staan onmiskenbaar soos ongetemde buffelsgras gewortel en gegrond

DROOGTE IN MY MOEDERTAAL
That shining tower built tall and Proud earth a mother and blue skies its lover seeking perfection,that entity ethereal so, by minds mystical and practical together conflicting hard the dreamer and the doer the willing and unwilling driven mutual as one. Designed vision a force inexorable, realized slow, a conviction human spreading action like wildfire energized faculties stretched,knowledge all exhausted euphoric waves creative ridden like a master boatman a slow birth of creation delivered combined by men all with bodies drained,minds triumphant,heads held high. Attempted perfection teaches wise, taunting,teasing us, so elusive with our minds limited and bodies ever tiring. reach it you can never, just beyond grasp,evolving ever founded in your mind but form it physical you can never. I agree nodding yes, i caught you momentary,to the best of my abilities now, I learned and shall keep chasing you!
