Kung walked by the dynastic temple and into the cedar grove, and then out by the lower river, And with him Khieu Tchi and Tian the low speaking And “we are unknown,” said Kung, “You will take up charioteering? “Then you will become known, “Or perhaps I should take up charioterring, or archery? “Or the practice of public speaking?” And Tseu-lou said, “I would put the defences in order,” And Khieu said, “If I were lord of a province “I would put it in better order than this is.” And Tchi said, “I would prefer a small mountain temple, “With order in the observances, with a suitable performance of the ritual,” And Tian said, with his hand on the strings of his lute The low sounds continuing after his hand left the strings, And the sound went up like smoke, under the leaves, And he looked after the sound: “The old swimming hole, “And the boys flopping off the planks, “Or sitting in the underbrush playing mandolins.” And Kung smiled upon all of them equally. And Thseng-sie desired to know: “Which had answered correctly?” And Kung said, “They have all answered correctly, “That is to say, each in his nature.” And Kung raised his cane against Yuan Jang, Yuan Jang being his elder, For Yuan Jang sat by the roadside pretending to be receiving wisdom. And Kung said “You old fool, come out of it, “Get up and do something useful.” And Kung said “Respect a child’s faculties “From the moment it inhales the clear air, “But a man of fifty who knows nothng Is worthy of no respect.” And “When the prince has gathered about him “All the savants and artists, his riches will be fully employed.” And Kung said, and wrote on the bo leaves: If a man have not order within him He can not spread order about him; And if a man have not order within him His family will not act with due order; And if the prince have not order within him He can not put order in his dominions. And Kung gave the words “order” and “brotherly deference” And said nothing of the “life after death.” And he said “Anyone can run to excesses, “It is easy to shoot past the mark, “It is hard to stand firm in the middle.” And they said: If a man commit ****** Should his father protect him, and hide him? And Kung said: He should hide him. And Kung gave his daughter to Kong-Tchang Although Kong-Tchang was in prison. And he gave his niece to Nan-Young although Nan-Young was out of office. And Kung said “Wan ruled with moderation, “In his day the State was well kept, “And even I can remember “A day when the historians left blanks in their writings, “I mean, for things they didn’t know, “But that time seems to be passing. A day when the historians left blanks in their writings, But that time seems to be passing.” And Kung said, “Without character you will “be unable to play on that instrument “Or to execute the music fit for the Odes. “The blossoms of the apricot “blow from the east to the west, “And I have tried to keep them from falling.”

Everything is a ******* lie She never love me I was only used as her puppet Her words make the strong willed melt A voice that onced calmed the storm now is the fury That time is gone and now wasted All I was to her was nothng My words pointless My actions useless Everytime I let someone close I get my heart ripped from my chest At the end I'm the ******* Why me? Why must people manipulate me? As I cry No one is there for me Nowhere to go No one to relate to My tears scar me Scars that can't be seen They span the fabric of time itself All I want is to end it all No one will listen to me All my tears gone into this world will remain unseen As I drag my knife across my soft flesh The blood pouring out The pain drownig out the world All I want to due is cut the pain away My trust abused My heart in complete disrepair Nothing can fix it Why must i act strong I am weak I just want to die I WANT DEATH!!! I WANT ISOLATION!!! I want to abandon everyone No one needs me No one wants my love No one even wants my friendship No more I've always been there No more lies Nothing will change my mind Nothing will Nothing but death

Silent Little Lamb
its like walking in to a dak woom with no lights room and deperately looking for a light swiththat isn't there. Like chiking on every word you say, terrifie of the resoce that spills through your ****** cracks=ed lips. I cant close my eyes. i see nothng at all. I feel it all. Everthing in its place that;s not supposed to be there. walls necorted wall decortate with fist chaped wholesand shatter glass judt lkr nre carpet. I close my eye and i see his face. All of the face. His long beard cover in whiskey, her thin hair, the way she said, "im going to kiss you like adults do." It swollows me whole. It take my minutes, my hours, my days stripped away from me. I am nothing to be to be cared for, I am nothing but dissasociated mindlessness. You stole it all from me. Every part of me was ripped away like fragibe bir bines. Drape me in this body bag of satin sheets. I'm too sick. Like a flu in my mid. there is not cure.

cut deep, while others are sleeping. we tread the way, from here to there, leaving a trail. you may follow. cut round the cowslips, leave the twigs. step this way, it leads to the old apple tree, cookers. step that way plum blossom. nothng is straight, nothing planned. later we watched chelsea . sbm.

. the little pathways .
whiskey tainted lullabies lay eggs in quiet ear drums that explode a thousand symphonies and light the world on fire there is nothng quite like passion when it sits on your lap and kisses you straight on jagged lips music is the melted rainbow awake in our sleeping minds we are all a vessle of sound echoing and pulsating music is the only truth

on these clouds of inspiration
My mind is a siner of good and evil i fear only the darkness,because i belve it has a way a changing reality and making thngs look worce befor ur ayes even the smallest thng could be fedal,daknes is a place of evil corsed by the pain and suffering one's heart has to indore,the pain that one fells its more than 1 can tell and it cannot be heal as they say u may heal the wound bt scares remain the same,the pain that we fell is cosed by the memories that we once had and lost and dreams that we have and lost as time passes by,then we fall 2 a place that its nt easy 2 get back 2,ths place is known as hell burning for al iternity bt thts nothng compare 2 the heart's pain,the devil smiles when u enter the world of revenge u ar tied and bonded until the end of days

Pain of the under world
We live in a clash of cymbals then hear the noise and the opposing silence. Another thing and another thing. We see it is always so Love and Loss; Love and rejection a double dose. Surely there is shame and pride, beauty and ugliness, long summer days dreaming unafraid then head on toward fearful death so much left undone unsaid a total loss farm we bought then against the end one famous long ago our advocate in the stunning dream the rejected stone. It is over. One is born remembering nothing. Blessed nothing. It was better it seems than this rude place. But now I know no other.Some day it shall be written,perhaps I will write about how lovely it was in the morning.
