Feel as tho' I'm going to the dogs
it's almost time to pop my clogs
kick the bucket chuck it in
call it a day take a spin
and shuffle off this mortal coil
be released from worldly troubles and toil
buy the farm and bite the dust
or cash in my chips if I must
when D-Day dawns (it's not that far)
a big bang send-off will be my last hurrah
but it's no joke
as should I croak
who will miss me
when I'm long-gone
for no matter where on earth I am
I don't fit in I don't belong
oh well easy come easy go
whether up in smoke or down below
Daisies and buttercups gently sway
The field dances swayed by clement breezes
Summer days leisurely drift away

Master Longchenpa’s heart advice is simple yet profound;
that everything we perceive is our mind’s projection,
and thus delusion,
that everything we experience is in flux,
temporary and not solidly real,
and thus illusion,
and that the path forward is one of letting go,
lightening up, being less heavy and serious,
more easy come, easy go…about it ALL.
This is the path of peace, and pristine purity,
the direct path to complete and perfect enlightenment.
In other words, it doesn’t get more clear and simple
helpful and direct than this.
And yet, as clear and simple as it is,
I am sure the vast majority of people
would not find it satisfying,
would not find it attractive,
would not find it offers enough.
You cannot fix samsara!
Yet that is what samsaric beings are bound to do;
samsara itself being the effect
of their desire to improve
their lot in Life
the pristine nature of their mind
the mirror-like nature of their experience.
Well then, welcome to samsara.

HAPPINESS versus JOY CONTINUUM
Happiness is a fleeting emotion
easy come easy go
because it comes from
external sources
a favorite ... song,
or from
buying a new car, or designer shoes
then faster than a speeding bullet
your happiness … you lose
Happiness-- is external and transitory,
easily … evaporates
Joy— is internal, and alive
comes through a selfless spirit
Is an eternal source … of peace
Yes
Joy is an internal blessing
doesn’t leave undertrials
worthy of Godly … praise
leads to … everlasting life
The secret of joy is in the spelling- JOY
J—Jehovah- father, son Jesus comes first in your life
O—Others put before yourself
Y—You put … last
yes
I chose … Joy!

John 17:3 this means everlasting life
taking in knowledge
of you (Jehovah)
and the one you sent
Jesus Christ
Mike had an overdraft that put him in a pickle
He wasn't worth a dime not even a nickel
He would be the first to say when he got his pay
He went out to play
He loved playing cards, he mostly lost
He bet on horses never counting the cost
Easy come, easy go was his way of life
It was entirely different for his careful frugal Wife
She wasn't mean she had no choice
When it came to finance
Mike never heard her voice
She tried her best
To help her Husband escape this mess
He was too irresponsible to listen, I guess
It all became too much she had enough
She wanted some order in her life
This life was far too tough
She packed her few possessions without any fuss
She rode away from poverty
On a Number 37 bus
For a time Mike missed his Missus
And the company she supplied
Somehow his gay abandon
Had shrivelled up and died
He felt in his pocket and found his last dollars and nickels
Went down to his local Pub and got
COMPLETELY PICKLED
I think I can write a rhyme,
I’ll take a stab at it from time to time,
I write in the present, future and past tense,
In some kind of form that makes sense.
I want some words that are easy come easy go,
They lay down right and start to flow,
It won’t take long for you to tell,
If this poem is going well.
Up and down, back and forth,
Enjoy the ride for what it’s worth,
For I hope you have become smitten,
With these words that I have written.
Maybe before you decide to go,
You will feel this rhyme and its tempo,
And if you like what you see,
Maybe, just maybe, you will remember me.
I found love at the BK,
Sitting with my love today,
Holding hands and looking in her eyes,
Wondering if she wants my fries.
I found love at the BK,
Searching for the right words to say,
I don’t want to sound like a joke,
But she is not getting my coke.
I found love at the BK,
I did not plan it that way,
I must find a way to stop her,
She’s got her hand on my Whopper.
I found love at the BK,
It sounds crazy some say,
Easy come easy go,
I traded her for a number 8 combo!
a throw away poem
is easy come, easy go
after it's had its say
pack it up toss it away
the meaning isn't deep
nor vocabulary wide
a throw away poem
will never tax the mind
a throw away poem
is not meant to torment the soul
is easy on the eyes
feels almost like home
brings nothing to the table
except for rhyme and flow
that's as far as it will go
a throw away poem
I don't know what I want to write
But I will write about see if you call it
Do you believe you will see if you call it?
You bet
If you don't believe you will see
You won't see it
Sometimes a thing is just so hard to believe
And that is when you need God's help
God sometimes can intervene in our beliefs
He is not going to leave you - cut and dry
Only humans will do it - some humans
And sometimes human would sometimes do things
God would never do
But that is another subject
Would you do what God do?
No
Then there
Don't try to guess what God is going to do
You would mess up
Because you can never do what God wants to do
He do the unhuman thing - the unbelievable
Unacceptable, incredible
Only He would know
So what is our job?
To do what we think
When God wants you to do something
He will let you know
Otherwise it's a slow ride - easy ride
Comsi comsa
Easy come easy go
Whatchamacallit
What's that?
Don't know
But it will come to me
On the go again.....
Lost all my faith in men tonight.
Should I give up my dream of finding Mr. Right?
Tired of the games and the lack of respect being shown.
Oh God why is it so hard to find a man who is grown?
Tired of the guys who constantly spit game.
Tired of hearing them claim they aren't all the same.
None of them are original even though they all wish to be.
Why would I feel special with a man who's ran through many females before finding me?
Easy come easy go. I had to move around.
Can't let a man disrespect me and not stand my ground.
What is the point in having something if you have nothing to loose?
Even though I'm not broken hearted I'd be lying if I said my heart isn't bruised.
Easy come, easy go
you came into my life
for what reason, i don't know
you put it down and I was like, whoa
then took advantage cause I couldn't say no
you knew what you were doing from day one
prowling for cougars in need of some fun
give em some dope dick and its about to be on
played me like an instrument to get what you want
anything you asked, I'd make it happen
I, your first mate and you were the captain
new castles, blunts, long drives, good music
the commerce casino and laughs
i didn't think to proceed with caution
but should have known it wouldn't last
because you met someone and fell in love
and rightfully so...that's how we became friends
and regretfully so...because now my only regret
is having to let my friend go because i miss him so!
always ready to jump the next train
catch the next flight
looking for a life to blame
and I'm sorry every time
Especially this time...
treating you as easy come, easy go
but you're not just easy go
for me
no you're not an easy go
please let there be
always
a tomorrow?
Like you said
always a tomorrow
very new for me
a colt that knows nothing
but feels everything
not sure how this is supposed to feel
but....it feels safe
I know I said you don't understand
but you do...
didn't give you my hand
for no reason
you do understand
better and quicker than anyone
was scared of making do with something that just doesn't
but this is different
won't treat you as easy come, easy go
you easily came
but you won't easily go
for me,
no you're not an easy go
please won't there be
always a tomorrow
like you said?
Always a tomorrow
Don't ever want to change your face again
like I did
when I said
what I said
I'm really going through it now
nothing to do with you...
so
Liebchen,
won't there always be a tomorrow?
Please and always say a tomorrow
Focus…
I know it’s over but I don’t want it to end
I’m closing my eyes to try and live it all again
In this frame of mind scenes are leaving me speechless
And again just like the other night I’m looking for the words
I’m a mass of mixed emotion with too much happening at once
It’s easy come easy go for the pleasure to live
In and out of the darkness watch my energy surge and fade
You can look into my eyes and see the shadow rising
I’m breaking up and down, shredding up those nerves of steel
Can I break any new ground by telling you how I feel?
Neither happy nor sad, kind of numb without emotion
I’m very indifferent now,
And it has become very hard to focus
I bought a lottery ticket
I told the cashier - "Just pick it,"
I was surprised when she said,
"If you win, we'll go to bed;"
now all my cash is gone - "Frick It!"
