O Lord where art thou
I look for your guidance
As these bullets come raining down
Why are you not here
Why don’t you protect us with your holy shroud
My eardrums bleed
The ground shakes
The sound of this evil army
The destruction and death it leaves in its wake
This evil is unbiased to age or creed
The cry of the unborn as mother lays dying
A casualty of a ricochet bullet
Fired to only satisfy evils greed
I stand O lord
I watch as the once landmark building
Decay and burn to the ground
Lost into history now just pictures no sounds
All I see is my country men bleed
I see my streets run red
This evil army disrespectfully dispenses of the dead
A man stands and smiles
Salutes to a foreign flag
He stands and surveys his path
He disregards my defiance and continues his wrath
Day breaks I have ran all night
I have looked for your sign to stand and fight
On bended knee I wait
The evil forces have me in their sights
I look to you O lord
I reach out my hands
I wait for you to break my bounds
So much death I can't come back
I am defeated my lord
Please take me now don’t let them say
Don’t let them be the ones to take my last breath away
Let me leave with my countrymen
They stood tall and proud
This evil was vast and ground them down
I see you now standing beside me
I look to a sea of blood and rain
It does nothing to dispel my pain
Now I see your sign
My courage and strength I start to gain
You have brought a protective shroud
You disguised it well but I see it now
In a crater that evil gave
Intended to become a mass grave
I see it torn I see it burnt
It cuts me so deep I can't explain the hurt
As all falls into disarray
I start to believe
I decided to stay
I will fight and I will answer the call
I will re raise my country's fallen flag
I crawl over the murdered crowd
I climb over rubble and discarded shells
I climb so this evil man can see
I will raise my flag
I will start the fight that sets my country free
He watches as I raise it high
Such a glorious sight
Green White and Gold fills Irelands skyline
Now evils rage turns to me
A thousand guns but they will not take my dignity
I will pass and take my place in history's most important date
I close my eyes on long life
I laughed and cried with my friends and my wife
I watched as my country thrived
I often remember those who died
We now have a cell with an open door
A stone lays bare on hallowed ground
A grave of stone stand's tall so profound
Millions of tourists flock to see and take part in our proud history
My country men now travel far and wide
They show a tri colored flag and they wear it with pride
They are so proud and would never hide
They are free to breathe the air
They are free to know laughter, fun and despair
Ireland is a country full of talent
Poets, writer's freedom to live
100 years on we have the freedom to say

"Precious Life "

I've tried solving mathematical equations
but they all failed my hearts design
I then searched for absolution
but all I lost was time
I turned over every rock
and all I found was hurt
I then looked up to the stars
to find my place on earth
But no matter where I was
God was always near
He took me by my hand
and led me far away from fear
He brought me perfect a peace
when I didn't know what to do
Then He gave me precious life
and said that I love you

Difference between a "TRUE" friend and a "FALSE" friend. TRUE FRIENDS encourage.
FALSE FRIENDS discourage.

TRUE FRIENDS tell you what is wrong, in a way that you'll UNDERSTAND.
FALSE FRIENDS tell you what is wrong, in a way that YOU WANT to HEAR it.

TRUE FRIENDS tell you what you did was wrong, and even SCOLD you for doing it.
FALSE FRIENDS tells you what you did is right, (even if it was wrong) in a FOOLISH, IMMATURE kind of way.

TRUE FRIENDS are FAIR.
FALSE FRIENDS are ONE-SIDED.

TRUE FRIENDS help you in EVERY STEP of your WORK, ASSIGNMENTS, etc.
FALSE FRIENDS does THE WORK, ASSIGNMENTS, etc. FOR YOU, leaving you with no knowledge.

TRUE FRIENDS go the EXTRA MILE.
FALSE FRIENDS does NOTHING! in fact, THEY DONT EVEN CARE. (but they say they do.)TRUE FRIENDS helps you in ALL THINGS, and even SACRIFICES time for you.
FALSE FRIENDS tend to tell you "IM BUSY" or "CAN WE TALK ABOUT IT NEXT TIME?" hiding THE FACT that they really don't care about you.

TRUE FRIENDS never COMPARE ANYTHING!
FALSE FRIENDS always COMPARES!

TRUE FRIENDS when they give advice to you, they ANALYZE THE PROBLEM, and TELLS TO YOUR FACE "YOUR WRONG, infact, YOUR BOTH WRONG!"
FALSE FRIENDS when they give advice to you, they ANALYZE THE PROBLEM, then, TELLS YOU WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR.TRUE FRIENDS try to be MATURE for you, looking at EVERY POSSIBLE SITUATION.
FALSE FRIENDS FAKE the MATURITY, then GIVES YOU JUST ONE OPTION! (such stupidity!)

TRUE FRIENDS will STAY, no MATTER WHAT arguements YOU had, and TREATS you AS PART of HIS/HERS OWN, and would stay, through THICK and THIN.
FALSE FRIENDS FAKE the STAYING, because they ENJOY the company, OR THEY USE YOU, but IN REALITY, THEY DONT GIVE A SHIT of WHAT YOU ARE. in fact, THEY ARE LAUGHING RIGHT NOW, on HOW DESTROYED YOU.

"nobody can be a 'PERFECT' TRUE FRIEND, but everybody can be a 'PERFECT' FALSE one."

in the end, CHOOSE your FRIENDS WISELY!

"TELL ME WHO YOUR FRIENDS ARE, AND I'LL TELL YOU, WHO YOU ARE."

now, tell me, WHAT ARE YOU? a TRUE FRIEND, or a FALSE FRIEND?

I haven't gotten beyond this Bah Hum Bug!
I really haven't
And it is because I know I need to be more generous
I need to make my own transformation
I wish sometimes I did own a company like the one I work at
I wish I could double their salary
I wish I could provide them with a comfortable temperature
Health care would be free so a person didn't have to worry
About financial ruin because of high insurance premiums
And low benefits
The workers would be happy to come to work
The overtime would not be allowed so they could rest
And spend time with their family
So that we, all of us could truly say God bless us everyone!

toen ik nog een jongen was had ik dromen dromen over iemand die van je hield die je niet wegschopte als een hond niet sloeg zonder reden niet vernedert zonder reden er was oorlog in mijn hartje ik was 10 al die mishandelingen zonder reden door iemand waar je van hield je eigen vader al die pijn in mijn hartje zonder reden ik werd ouder ik raakte het spoor kwijt alweer oorlog maar nou met mij zelf ik raakte aan de drank ik was 16 ik zwierf door de straten in de nacht als een dief mensen keken niet naar je om geen woordje ik voelde me zo verschopt door alles we zijn weer een stap verder naar de weg die ik zocht naar 20 jaar verslavingen ben ik eruit gespronge gelukkig heb de duivel vaal gezien maart ik heb de oorlog gewonnen ik ben nou zelf vader van een zoon hij is speciaal die liefde die ik nooit gehad heb geeft hij mij zo de oorlog is over ik hoef niet meer the vechten is genoeg zo

Alone with nature
one can feel a strange unity
with everything around
Unity that is so strong
and overpowering
that one loses consciousness
of one's individual self

One's consciousness seems to merge
with a deeper consciousness
of the unity of all things
in nature and the cosmos
One experiences an awareness
of a deeper reality
that is impossible
to describe in words

At such moments
one has no consciousness
of time and space
but only of that moment
- the infinite eternal NOW

One makes contact
with one's cosmic roots
in a dimension where
time and space
are irrelevant
It is the synchronisation
of one's consciousness
with the absolute
and ultimate reality
of the cosmos

sensing new life
dropping down
pearl drops
from heaven's
falling tears
on happiness
opening up
being free
i feel
this soul fly
above your earth
without wings

flying with you
sweet harmony
singing one
romantic song
blows fireworks
in the sky

blessing your beauty
joining our hearts
flies around me
circle embracing
wings of
an angel

flying with
the spirits
a soul floating
on your air
strong upon
thee breeze
floating beautiful

my heart
holds you ever
so very beautifully
it folds out
my very existence
trust when
i hold you

never will
you fall
because i
will sweetheart
fall over
to catch you

when ever
you may fall
forever loving you
my adorable
beautiful princess
madly and truly
with you dear
conquered my world
kneeling down

i am
in love
with you
the apple split
opening inside eye
piercing the soul
heart struck arrow

you knight me
together we
our love binds
our hearts
together as one
in eternity

you walk on by
brackish in thoughts
turbid and livid emotions
swimming in your cold heart
did you disappear out of impulse?
or was it planned?
doesn't matter
your weakness ruled your mind
you should have known
thriving in ignorance
isn't my strength

and certainly not
forgetfulness

in reality I thought:
I'd never see you again

at least now
I can put my mind to rest
knowing you're alive and well.

The thunderous roar of a mighty waterfall
cascading down in huge torrents of liquid fury
smashing into the water below
creating mists of water droplets
that transform the sunlight into a rainbow

The awesome power of a thunderstorm at night
with jagged bolts of lightning
that split the darkness
and light up the surroundings
with blinding dazzling intensity

I am animal
I am the wolf
Your hunter and gatherer

I will hunt for you
lay my kill
at your feet

I will bite you
mark your neck
with my teeth

If the moon is round
I will howl for you

I become the wolf
hunt for you tonight
Just to taste the blood
of your chocolate lips

In my wolf skin
I seek your brown sugar body

I follow the trail
of your pounding heart

The hunter suddenly
become the hunted

You wrap your arms around me
I am captured in your embrace
time in relativity slows
all else fades to nothing...
