Compassion Within Us, Placed By Divine HandsCompassion Within Us, Placed By Divine Hands
Compassion, weakness or a curse
or expression of mercy's heart,
I denying Love, which is worse
than savagery this world imparts
became blind in my silent pains
an enigma, lost, out of touch
treasuring my ill-gotten gains
my lies held firm, my needed crutch.
In ignorance racing...

The Force That Placed Us Here Cannot Be TrustedAt dinner, Zach asks
about our nation's history, wars.
I say We're taking on everyone, one at a time.
First Britain, then Britain again: "He was the surly English pluck, and
there is no tougher or truer, and never was, and never will...

Geometrically PlacedWhen ten minus nine equals eight the baked bean has a chat to a nine foot goblin in an underpass who is carrying sixty-seven bowls of custard to make a very large tart for supper. An instigator is neither an alligator nor a flea. And...

Devil On the Run Lucifer Satan Chained Placed In the Lake of FireDEVIL ON THE RUN Lucifer Satan Chained Placed in the Lake of Fire
Devil on the run;
Devil on the run;
Demons spit and howl;
Crying to their master;
In pangs and in the spirit;
You don’t wanna go near it;
Demons dwells;
Demons sell;
Sold their eternity for hell;
Devil on the run;

My God Placed You God In Front of MeI had no choice that day but to love you
My heart could do nothing else but care
So perpetually my mind began to spin
When you sat down by my side so near
I don’t think I would have chosen you
If that moment in time was left...

Placed In OrbitWas very confused.
I was becoming poorer
everyday. The depletion was complete.
Polymorphous ? Where do I find
the affinity with saneness ? I
wanted to quit now,
drawing the faces of dead.
Farce embers,
in white fire. Climbing on a
fence for a fatal jump after...

Heavenly Placed
Heavenly Placed
(Life’s Refrain)
Fine sand
Softly laced
Where the ocean touches land
Heavenly placed
Fine sand
Sun set
Closing the day
It’s time to take a rest
Along the way
Sun set
Each day
With seeds of love
Grateful heart come what may
Send from above
Each day
Stars play
Sky of deep blue
Don’t let it go astray
Let it remain true
Stars play

No Sleep Is Placed In EyelidsI'm haunted with vision
I can't resume my mission
My eyelids split open
Sprawled in my puzzled head
Unable to push head down
Sleep never exists here
I'm missing my slumber
The clock spins madly...spiraling
My wings are unfolding
Blurred by the galling night
Crying desperately for sleep
My eyelids...

Our Love Forever Placed In Time,Our love, forever placed in time,
Our hearts forever intertwined,
Like a silver lace vine,
each others hearts,
We keep and hold dear,
Love like this is never clear,
Even though we may not know,
What is planned for us,
We do know that it has grown,
Into something amazing,
Words cannot describe,
The way we...

The World Placed Over Your EyesThe matrix has you in its grip,
Follow the rabbit and let us go for a trip.
This world is a veil pulled over your eyes,
To blind you for where you body really lies.
What you sense is not real,
Even the hair on your head which you currently...

Placed In CagesOnce, there was a boy who loved animals,
every kind of animal,
it didn't matter; he loved them all!
He had rabbits, pigeons, hamsters, and a raccoon.
The boy kept them well-fed,
cleaned their cages every day
and was sure they were happy;
so that made him happy, too.
One day, he was...

We Placed a Perfect WreathWe Placed A Perfect Wreath
On unknown soldier tomb we placed wreath,
Body remains are buried below and beneath;
That we respect,
In manner correct;
All that was left are broken bones and teeth.
