Fault Of Thyself

For every man there is reward.
For every man there are consequences.
Which kind of man are you?
 
For the brave man, there is honor.
For the cowardice man, there is desertion.
For the stone man, there is isolation.
For the weeping man, there is no shame.
For the...

self,
Don't back down,
swinging and fighting, 
is not the only way to go down.

disregard the hurt, 
and look for love,
it's hard to know,
that you can find someone to truly love.
 
you've tried so many times before,
but is this so bad,
you've given up,
and that's why you're mad.

Make 'um rhyme
Make 'um ring
Make those people wanna sing

Keep 'um cumin'
Don't hold back
Tear out the stops, stay on the track

You don't care where you come from
They'er eyes an' ears
Not some-one

Your battered heart
That tattered soul
Don't make excuses for your droll

When morning comes
And dark is light
That's when...

Where hast thou gone? 
Sweet innocents of youth
Thy reverence of purity
And subservient of truth

With poisoned treachery 
Thy essence perverted
Ignorance and jealousy
Thy Inner beauty subverted

Heavy upon sharp thorn
My trust doth lie
Heart heavy with burden
Tears of anguish I now cry

Unknown to thyself
Thy sweet self dost deceive
I know...

A crime against man. 
Committing suicide

A crime against man. 
Committing suicide

Attempted suicide...
On the other hand...

Not suicide 

Therefore, suicide is a criminal act and an attempt is not. 
Sense can find way by understanding that man is of intellectual supremacy. 

Man who attempts suicide is not...

Playing with the butterflies, squirrels, birds
Embracing the fruits, flowers and seeds
The identification then remains stagnant
For quite some years
Then with the members of the community
Would like to attach
Cling on and cherish them
In the neighbourhood by the country
Befriending, helping, empathising
Expand the 'self'
No more walls now
A free, vagrant...

Reflect on this proverb, oh worthy hermit
'A chain is only as strong as its weakest link'
So let us look deep within the core of our being
To discern the cause why time and again we sink

Bemused by myriad illusions our mind is hypnotised
Flitting about unsatiated between...

Finding a oneness  in thyself 

Written By Dean Masciarelli

October 11, 2010 (10:41am)


Finding a oneness in thyself

So that my life can have
more meaning and purpose
and ultimately true self worth;

Has been challenging in itself

But through leaps and bounds
across this earth;
and simple acts of kindness

I have taken...

Thyself myself the leader of all my dreams

Regurgitated words, 
moments of retracing, 
demented, tormented, 
and self-effacing, 

Pointless retribution, 
shadowy diatribe, 
shielded delusions, 
salvation contrived. 

Self-realization 
needs no defense, 
adorned with self love, 
its own recompense. 

Identify appreciation 
for gifts received -
rejection of beliefs 
preconceived. 

Inoculation of worth, 
dis-ease extinguished, 
perpetual virtue 
suppresses...

Sometimes I feel as if I'm going to crack yet somehow I find the strength within myself to bounce back.

I look at her stressed with tears in her eyes my soul wants to jump out of my chest and hug her from inside stitch up...
