Stand for your beliefs 
Despite tribulations and blues
Worry not about physical, psychological or metabolic reliefs
But defend to the hilt the values

Defining, refining and buttressing your personality and character
From infancy to adulthood
Where values and beliefs are...

Seafarers shall be saved, though waves may
deem them dead, lost in the ocean's fray
they shall not perish, nor shall they be afraid
nor falter, though their earthly woes be done.
They shall tame the deep, brave the...

I stand alone and take in my surroundings..
The Earth is quiet.. the Earth is still.
Only I exist in this very moment..
In all my complexity and freewill.

To the North's polarity.
Algorithms has altered its course.

There's a vast bare land afar
Blanketed with dry brown sand-dunes.
A brown ocean with no moisture in its heart
A land bereft of rivers and streams.

Camels and chuckwallas.
A pool of...
