Die Haare wachsen, die Nägel auch,
Es gluckert ständig in unserem Bauch,
Nix ist fix, nichts hat Bestand,
Bringt uns das wirklich an den Rand?
Alles formt sich stetig um,
Es lohnt nicht der Erinnerung –
Doch wir bleiben häufig dumm.
Statt hinzuspüren, nachzudenken,
Weshalb wir uns‘re Zeit verschwenden,
Mit festhalten an so viel Sachen,
Die uns nur bösen Kummer machen,
Verpassen wir so mit der Zeit
Die allerbest‘ Gelegenheit
Stets Änderungen anzufühlen,
Im Hintergrund herumzuwühlen:
Auch das Schlechte – nimm‘s doch wahr –
Wird weggespült, das wird doch klar –
Ist das nicht wirklich wunderbar?

He doesn't use a pitch dork
He doesn't have a tail
He comes disguised
as fear and lies,
to remind you when you fail.
He doesn't wear a red suit and he doesn't smell like smoke,
he sneaks around
until he finds your doubt,
and that's where
he makes his home
When he comes for you
all you gotta do,
is take look at the devil
right square in the eye,
tell him,
I have believed you
for the very last time.
Devil I know
you been lying to me,
you do not define me.
All of your power
has been swept away,
your threats are as empty,
as Jesus grave.
So devil go get behind me, because
you do not define me
He knows the ways
that we're different,
how we're tempted
to choose a side.
Takes the beauty
in our diversity,
and will use it
to divide.
And he'll split us over doctrine
Or the color of our skin
And when we fight
with fear and hate
He's the only one who wins.
But when he comes your way
Just put him in his place.
Just take a look at the devil right square in the eye
and tell him
I have believed you,
for the very last time.
Devil, I know you've been lying to me
you do not define me.
All of your power
has been swept away,
your threats are as empty,
as Jesus grave.
So devil go get behind me, because
you do not define me.

About this poem:
These are the lyrics to one of my favorite songs. It's important to remember that even in faith we are constantly tested. The devil will never stop trying to get to us. You have to fight to remain good and pure in all that you do, all the time.

follow your heart in trajedy and it will lead to ecstacy youll set an example for all to see if you just follow your heart.
somedays are good and somedays are bad just dont let them get you down

Blue sky, blue sky
she walked by my house
raindance in the road
never felt, never felt
so good
Walkin’ high, walkin’ high
she knocked my door
woah, diamond lights in my room
never felt, never felt
so good
Mmmm mmmm sweet girl
your purple ways
lovin’ days
raindance in the road
mmmm Lord
raindance in the road

midnight, midnight
love calls me out
walking in the neon rain
midnight, midnight
simple thing, simple thing baby
full heart love with no refrain
drive by night
she said drive by night
this world has made it plain
drive by night
she said drive by night
cure my lonely heart again

I guess long ago someone wrote a story of you I didn’t want to listen but now I seek every clue I’m trying to show you who I am but something is happening who knows why
I live with myself and my thoughts wish I could show the world who I am I’m too scared to let anyone know beside myself I am who I am
you gave me a sign not to care with the world I wish myself to share I get a little choked up to give my all somewhere down you won’t let me fall
kings had their queens men had their wives the only way I could figure to get back by the power of a woman helped me to see the only light, the glimmer is for me
I had thought of you in the night I hope I didn’t scare didn’t mean to cause a fright I know in my heart till you are done I can’t ease the pain in which its from
I know I can’t change who I am but would you want it any other way I could be false or even a lie but myself wouldn’t let me get by
I thought I was a man guess I was wrong men don’t cry probably why they don’t live that long.

You showed up around 11 and said we would eat lunch
It took till 1:30 and I wanted to punch
You in the face but I was too starving to try
Every time we get together I want to cry
You have a fancy car and a TV too
A hundred and one gadgets and your own Youtube
But it's always something is off and not quite right
Your employee called in and now you will work into the night
I'm driving your car to my place so you
Can get another 40 minutes off work real soon
When will you come and get your car, only heaven knows
It's no wonder everyone you know want to go to blows
For all the crazy @$%& you constantly do
That affect everyone around you and makes them feel like dodo
But I really thank you for the food, ice cream, and pop at Freddy's
But the craziness of you makes me want to sneeze
It's been since early November since we last spent some time
When will it be again
I just hope you don't get arrested for a crime!

About this poem:
I had this crazy friend in my life for about 35 years now. I've had a lot of fun with him, I just wish he would get his act together, but still I appreciate what time I can see him, for the very little it has been for the last 28 years.

Mongol was from the beginning
of Human
I was from its matching simplicity
or from its oppressive spirit graft
to Simian
I need Human
Human is for me Mongol
Please marry me as soon as possible
My Love
