Premium Member What Is the Meaning

Collaboration with Marcello Eans

What is the real meaning of a handshake?
Is it just a greeting or something a bit more?
It’s such a small gesture that anyone can make.
It shows a little trust that wasn’t there before.

We seem to have lost the meaning of the little things.
What is it about life that has hardened our hearts?
It’s easy to smile and see the happiness that it brings.
A simple nod to a stranger is where it all starts.

Seems we’ve forgotten about the Father’s only begotten,
Son sent to a foreign land immoral & rotten.
Wrapped in swaddling clothes, placed in a manger,
Honored and presented gifts in the face of danger.

Christmas is now X-mas, meaning lost through the ages,
Gifts given in vain, no wonder we squander our wages.
Will we remember Christmas as the birth of Jesus,
Or just another day off to be people-pleasers?

What is the real meaning of a wedding vow?
Is it just an empty promise that pretends reality?
Marriage seems to be a convenience for now –
Divorce our scapegoat when it’s no longer easy.
 
We seem to have lost the meaning of commitment.
What is it about the world that makes us break that oath?
It’s a simple matter of accepting a chosen arrangement
And following the path that’s right for us both.

Love has lost its meaning, a term of endearment,
Misused to embezzle feelings after a one-night experience.
Expressed freely and in abundance, often spoken without seeing,
Love is sacrifice from being to being.

Nearing My End - You Owe Me

Pre-chorus #2: You turned out to be so mean…you were so heartless… (you 
make me feel like nothin’…make me feel like someone…somethin’ – your words 
pierced me like a pin on the floor)
I’m not haunted by your callous night…don’t pick a fight (with me…we were 
innocent like a newborn infant)
Our friendship oath is pure and full of reverence – 
Then, all of the sudden, you make my heart thump with bewilderment 
Our love was genuine before you discarded it with revilement…we need to seek 
repentance
You owe me – pay off your debts now…how I loathe your resentment!

Chorus: Ahhhh….Stop being a tease…
Ahhhh….Being a tease…(my heart broke into two)
Ahhhh….Here’s a wound to mend
Ahhhh….Please, put my mind at ease
Ahhhh….You don’t see me, nearing my end…
Ahhhh….Nearing my end…(you’re left without a clue)
Pre-chorus: I thought your grass was green…I’m hopeless… (Oh funny, I 
thought you were a good person…I was there for you through thick and thin – 
you do not love me anymore) 
I’m through with you...you…tonight…I long for God’s light (to shed on me…we 
were in content & we were pleasant)
You turned out to be so mean…you were so heartless… (you make me feel like 
nothin’…make me feel like someone…somethin’ – your words pierced me like a 
pin on the floor)
I’m not haunted by your callous night…don’t pick a fight (with me…we were 
innocent like a newborn infant)
Chorus: Ahhhh….Stop being a tease…
Ahhhh….Being a tease…(my heart broke into two)
Ahhhh….Here’s a wound to mend
Ahhhh….Please, put my mind at ease
Ahhhh….You don’t see me, nearing my end…
Ahhhh….Nearing my end…(you’re left without a clue)

Give me an excuse or a reason
To overcome these waves of emotions
Friends come and go like season to season
Dealing with vile clashing commotions

We landed on a dead end – 
falling victim to regret!
I don’t mean to offend…
Bu we must pay up emotional debt

Our friendship oath is pure and full of reverence…we must accept that we all 
need help, going through this circumstance – (we met in a odd place out of the 
blue)
Then, all of the sudden, you make my heart thump with bewilderment 
Our love was genuine before you casted it away with cold-blooded malice and 
discontent…we need to seek repentance (I got to really talk some sense into 
you)
You owe me – pay off your debts now…how I loathe your resentment!

Premium Member A Teardrop's Memory

I was young, working in the back duct; when the elders started to speak
A joyous moment has arrived, open the flood gates for LOVE unique
As they rapturously paraded down the contour of the young man's cheek
                                       AS HE SAID " I DO "
As I looked out the mirror of the young man's eyes; I too wanted to run
A Love so true, an oath to entwine Together; Always and Forever as One
I smiled contently, for I knew in his words pure Love had begun
                                           " LOVE YOU "
But then the boom's mooring snapped : whipping Her into the deep blue sea
I lead a brigade of my peers down the trail of my forefathers glee
We marched that same trail , differently : in sorrow, despair and misery
                                    " ALWAYS AND FOREVER "
Onward I bravely lead my comrades to a desolate place where we would die
I know we were not the only tears this young man's broken heart would cry
He never had the chance to hold Her, to kiss Her, to say I LOVE YOU or Good-bye
                                           "  L  E  N  O  R  E  "

Hell In Heaven

hell in heaven
man made world 
still remain polluted
when the hunger 
of control remains
the ultimate goal 
they need to see us 
all the time 
so we pay not for 
our own purpose
but for the system 
which only but  bleed a 
hell in heaven

hell in heaven
man made civilization
bleeds confusion in 
the hearts of the commoners
those who never live in 
man made world in peace
those which hands are free
but chained by the system
those whose eyes are open 
yet blind in manipulation
those who got voice 
but voiceless 
so in an era 
of brutality 
man made world bleeds
nothing but a 
hell in heaven

hell in heaven
the earth is blessed
by nature 
the world is healed 
by the air
the herb can't grow 
in hell 
so what other heaven 
do we hope for 
when we oath to be natural
yet we  chose illusion
in a man made world 
were they bleed nothing but 
hell in heaven

hell in heaven
our planet remains 
our greatest gift 
from the supreme
our greatest source 
our greatest miracle
how come we exist in
this heaven 
with it beauties
with it mighty colours
a planet bless with 
the sun 
a heaven for human 
yet in man made world
Inside our planet earth it
still bleeds nothing but a
hell in heaven

Premium Member Belgian Neutrality

¦¦¦ the ¦¦¦¦¦¦ French depart
Like ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ Bonaparte,
Swarming ¦¦¦ with ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ venomous vitality.
Over ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦ Brighton and Bulgaria,
¦¦¦¦ violating Belgian neutrality.

¦¦¦ the injured Prussian may
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ say
"Why, ¦¦¦ be so small a nationality
Since ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
Bolivia and Belgravia,
Are bursting with ¦¦¦ Belgian neutrality."

By ¦¦¦¦ Alliteration
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ trace this curious nation,
¦¦¦ respect this ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ scattered Principality;
When you see a B in Both
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ take your Bible oath
You are violating Belgian neutrality.

Premium Member Black and White

Maybe things just had more meaning in my childhood days
We knew the law and we could see the error in our ways

We didn’t need an interpreter for telling wrong from right
The laws were clearly written, like our old TV, in black and white

The lawyers took our rights and moved justice too far left
To be a C E O, you need a P H D in theft

Promises from politicians, we never get a fair shake
Talking to a lawyer is like talking to a snake

To be elected a congressman, it’s really no surprise
You need a B S in bribery and a Masters degree in lies

Diogenes searched for an honest man in Athens, until his feet were swollen
If he had moved his search to Washington, his lantern would have been stolen

If Washington were a ski resort then Bush would fit the bill
He seemed to be an expert at taking things down hill

Reagan lied about the Iran Contra deal. He was a movie star
Clinton said under oath. It wasn’t sex. It was just an old cigar.

Lawyers and liars and political desires are too far from the right
We should have our say and change the gray back to black and white.

                                           Dear
                                        New Year!
                                         ‘To take oath
                                         and follow’. Both.

                                           to release emotion.

                                                Thick ice covered ground.
                                                  Chilled cold all around.

                                                              in arms.

Re-Denying

Some thoughts I would love said
Some time I would love present
Some love I would love to hate
Some rules I would love to bend

It always have to occur as it should be
Why be there always a need for rules?
For it never really is what it be to see
Cause when we don’t know we are the fools

The constant need for growth
To be born and made to learn
Even for love we need the oath
Less the moment till death... what did we earn?

Defying, relying, defining and denying
Every one promise to be a hidden betrayal
Lying, shying, providing and surviving
Every one reason for needless rules portrayal

Rules be one I constantly hate
However will time forever present
Thoughts I’m to have... never said
Some love... for rules I have a love to bend

Premium Member Rough Justice

Those who refuse to violate their religious faith
under the Hippocratic Oath beliefs face loosing their jobs 
if they refuse to participate in aiding killing babies 
The supreme court in London ruled against an Edinburgh court
which supported the women’s claim stating 
that they were ‘conscientious objectors’.
This proves one point where law is so corrupted
forcing care workers against their will to commit murder 
which is not addressed in the job description saving life 
This calls the supreme court completely out of order 
standing in favour of killing 
throwing every law they have ever made 
to the whispering wind an abortion of a justice system 
that stands against the truth in every moral right 
and the Holy Bible should be removed from their court of law
