No man is an island
That's what they say
Seems I've been stranded here forever and a day

A place where friday never came
And no story can be written
About a man with no name

The sunset looks like an echo upon the waves
No one can hear me all my dreams are adrift forever gone
Author unknown

What's in a face, expressions
That give other's impressions
Some shallow, without fact
Compare beauty, others lack

Child's innocence, skin so fine
Elderly face, etched-and-lined
Eyes, that can mirror the soul
Lighting a face, make it whole

Contact with eyes , can be rare
Or hide behind, the fall of hair
Do we probe, to learn more
What's hidden, in-human-core.

We can wait, let time explain
Instead of tears, fall like rain
Give and take, the only way
Experience, to sharing days

I watch clouds, they hurry on their way
Light and fluffy, as messages at play
Telling a story, for those that wait
Reading the sky, taking a break

From daily life, also hurrying past
Minute by minute, time cannot last
And as those clouds, quickly chase
Thoughts-memories, in constant haste

Time to relax, and control our time
Take a deep breath, drifting is fine
Everyone needs, to be in control
Breathe in peace, refuel the soul

I heard the angels singing above
Calling out their message of love

The mountains trembled and the skies rumbled
the seas danced with fury
as the clouds marched in a hurry

A great light shattered through the night as an angel
with silver wings took flight

She was so beautiful to me with fire and full of desire
Yet, only to offer healing to a world that lost its way.

She said unto me, "beloved of the earth always know you are loved and cared for each day.
Take not the things pure and good of this life for granted for it will one day fade
Hide not your love for each other for everyone is your sister and brother

Though you may feel at times your prayers may not be answered
They are always noted in the heavens written with each breath you take for his namesake

Oh the heavens hear your petitions and your inner thoughts
Some noble others for naught
Many cry of being surrounded and yet alone
You are only alone when you build your walls of doubt and offer petty little pouts

The day shall come when the heavens shall answer
The king shall call to his own to welcome them home
All are called but few choose to listen mostly because they can't hear between the noise of their own groaning.

But don't despair for there is always someone who cares
We may complain that life is unfair as the burdens we carry are unique and heavy to bear
They shall pass in time and life goes on and the weather shall be fair.

Hold onto your friends and family and to the ones who care
One day you will need them to be there
Push not away the hand that feeds you nor the arms that embrace you
Yet, how often does everyone do so.

For all the things we seek we shall find if we look in the right place as long as we don't give up on the race

Are your tired of all that living crap?
Do you want to meet your maker
At a time of your choosing and in a creative way?
Well, at Die Your Way Industries we have many ways to kick the bucket!
You might like our Wisconsin plan where you get hit by a drunk driver
Or how about our California plan where your get hit by a driver texting
Perhaps you'd like our St. Louis plan where you get shot by a cop
And our Chicago plan where you get hit by a stray bullet
Let's not forget about our international options
Getting ripped apart by cape hunting dogs in Australia
Punched out in a bar brawl in Ireland
Getting hacked to death by machetes in our many locations in Africa
Drowning in a monsoon in India
Or being eating alive by a great white shark off the coast of Easter Island
Of course there are many options we can provide right in your own neighborhood
Making toast while taking a bath
Slipping on soap in the shower and not being able to get help for days on end
Mowing the grass on a wet hill with a riding lawn mower
Driving a motorcycle in heavy traffic
Crossing the street without looking both ways
Snitching on drug dealers
Getting just about any operation in the good ol USA
And I'm sure you have some creative ways of your own we haven't thought of
Whatever, It's your life
You should decide how you end it!
That's Die Your Way Industries
Located right across from McDonald's and right next to Planned Parenthood

Mikä on mäen ja dale maan?
Se on niin kaunis,
Maa lakkaa kesäpäivinä,
Maa, jossa pohjoiset valot häipyvät,
Joka kauneus kaikkina vuodenaikoina,
Mikä maa on niin reilu?
Siellä on paljon tuhansia järviä
Hämmästyttäviä tähtiä yöllä
Siellä on paljon kanteleita
Ja kaikki ympärillä tekevät rinteistä laulaa
Ja kultaisen heath firs rengas:
Se on suomalainen maa.

Sinun taivas ei koskaan tule
Poistu muistiosta
Älä koskaan kirkkaan auringon tulta
Ei myöskään sinun kuusikulmassasi
Ei ole vieläkään puuvillasi, kun se ratsastaa
Pilvistä pilvistä.

Ja vielä nämä laaksot ovat kestäneet
Seasons, jolloin elämä oli kovaa,
Yöllä äkillistä pakkasta
Maissamme kylvettiin maissamme menetetty;
Mutta tuli toivoa kynnyksellä
Ja työ pyyhkäisi pakkaselta.

Ja näissä laaksoissa taas
Jotkut kauhut ovat olleet,
Teurastuksen aikana kuolema sai sodan
Ja maa nielaisi ihmisen ylhäältä;
Mutta monien sankareiden upea nimi
Lisätty Suomen maineeseen.

Ja nyt makea rakastettu maa
Onko meidän aikakautemme loppu:
On meidän kenttä, joka aaltoilee vapaasti,
Meidän niitty sen vehreys
Ja siellä meidän metsämme,
Kaikki omat meremme!

Lehtimetsä soi selkeästi
Mikä on onnellisuutta kuulla,
Kuten aamun ensimmäisessä valossa
Kautta se herää paimentolaisen sarvi,
Tai valloon, kun hämärä on pitkä
Tyttö laulaa laulunsa!

Nukahtaa syleilysi,
Unelma maisemista, mitä ihmeellisyyttä,
Oi meidän kehto, sinä hautamme,
Sinä uusi toivo, jota me ikinä kaipaamme,
Niemimaa niin kaunis,
Suomi aye meidän kaikkien!

Twist the cap sealed airlock
Tilt the neck to six o clock
Gulp it down in counts of five
Attempting just to feel alive

Downward flows of burning rage
Escaping through the rib's old cage
Whispers to the beating heart
to shorten every beat apart

It fuels the fury up each vein
and twists the story inside the brain
to make belief it's all okay
and all your dreams are here to stay

Never mind the truth in tale
They never seem to just prevail
and all the noise that you were fed
was bottled up inside your head

Emptied up and left alone
Nothing left but what was sown
Pounding through the temple side
The truth that said it never lied...

When I got my new car
I put you away
Because my old tape player wouldn't play any more
So I found out about this record player that would convert them to cd
So now I have you back in my car again
Listening to songs like Wipe Out by the Fat Boys
Baby Love by Regina
Living In A Box by Living In A Box
Causing A Commotion by Madonna
Press by Paul McCartney
Forever Live and Die by OMD
Una Paloma Blanca by Slim Whitman
And many others
Now I have you back again to enjoy and sing to in my car

With anger and hostility
They will gather to view
Running their mouths off
As they all do
No talent to call on
So tear it all down
I care not
I hear not
For I'm just a clown

Unsheath the silence
a mirrored lake in the cypress night
lay me down, lay me down
still beneath the boughs

life's serpentine course
just whorls to ponder
in days given freely
so shall sleep accompany me
accompany me lightly
drift, drift...

(snore) :)
