People nowadays
Will love beautiful mansions
Forget graves in peace.

Many are knocking on Gods hidden door
trying to escape brimstone floors
Some views are narrower than peepholes
while others see through open windows
Lifes a beach with many sandy shores
that go deeper than any ocean floor
My advice is to go with life's liquid flow
& enjoy the boat with all its rows
The mind is the center of this earthly core
& all of its rocky ores
Brave the waters & mold your will into the hardest steel
because life hardens feelings on a massive scale
Mass appeal blinds many to what lies in store
to what's housed behind attractive doors
I tell you this series of dreams are more than real
but many lack the awareness of their lucid feel

I will never build my house now,
my hands are too weak.
I shall never go to war,
for everywhere I look
I see nothing to kill.
That house never did belong here.
That house is built in a world,
where people come and go at my asking,
by my invitation,
and I am there at their command also.
Nothing in that world
is there, that I have not created.
There are books of poems
those books are under my hand now
they are as piles of dust here,
but there, in that other place,
they have their own library,
one built upon sunlight.
I shall not go to war now,
nor defend myself from
an enemy who was, so often
as woe begotten as I.
Often, I think I hear
doors opening and closing,
and sometimes I think I see
those I have yet to meet.
We smile,
embrace in instant recognition.
We all shake the dust off our feet.

Antihacking software
They can remotely control
Our vehicles.
Spyware is untraceable and cheap.
The Invisible God making a script
To make audeince for your
destruction.
They know where you are
And have access to your plans.
The one with the chip?
Performance
Handling
And steering.
We need to remove the curtains
From these satan's.
Even if it is there job!

My House Has Many Mansions
last time we had looked
there have been many mansions
in West Virginia
One is even a Senator of great
notoriety we have heard.

Darkness pours over the horizon,
the sun slips away.
Driven by consuming hunger,
a monstrous beast, lies in wait.
Hooded men in the choir,
weave webs from their lips,
while the hurst creeps by slowly,
in a seemingly endless parade.
On high hills, in colossal mansions,
live the soulless, adorned with magnetic bright eyes.
Veiled under a black blanket,
the soullest consume their prey,
they must feast off the valley,
or starve the beast within.
Hopeless sheep, without a shepherd,
swim like guppies in a bowl,
twisting in turmoil, keeping the beast full.

Tour the mansions of Rhode Island
(And it doesn’t matter which)
And discover just how different
Life can be if you are rich.
Want to throw a little party?
Ask 400 of your friends
While your servants prep and coddle
For the fun that never ends.
Have some outfits made in Paris;
Order in the best champagne.
Bathe in water from the ocean.
(Watch the salt go down the drain!)
Walk on floors laid in mosaics;
Dance ‘neath crystal chandeliers.
Stroll through gardens planted solely
To outdo those of your peers.
Never mind the lowly rabble
Who are born to work and serve
For the really wealthy do believe
They get what they deserve.

If your apartment or your house
Could use a slight expansion,
May I suggest, instead, that you
Just build yourself a mansion.
Today I've toured a couple,
Both in Hudson River towns.
With property like that, your moods
Should have no room for downs.
A bit of ostentation
Seems de rigueur, though, I guess,
But servants take good care of it,
So you don't have to stress.
If you're looking for an upgrade
And you've mega-bucks to spare,
Do like Vanderbilt or Church* - construct
A mansion for your lair.
*Frederick Vanderbilt and Frederic Church

~Stately Southern Mansions~
(Senryu Suite)
Stately pretty homes
Some beautiful still today
Relics from the past
Still a Southern pride
If their wall could only talk
What secrets could tell
Standing some still tall
Nice historical mansions
Jewels from the past
Trees so grand and lush
Surround them all 'round
Elegant stately grounds
Pretty as picture
Much loved and desired today
Historic delight.

MANSIONS
Where the sun doesn’t shine there is shadow
Or there is night
Darkness thirsting for the moon
Or heaven’s blessed light

Come the final judgement day
the judge may be yourself,
no matter if you lived your life
in poverty or wealth.
Released at last from earthly bonds,
your soul then free to roam
you’ll seek a final resting place
that you will make your home.
Depending on your spirit’s wealth
now measured by your god,
your final dwelling will depend
on earthly pathways trod.
There’s many mansions in this land
where kindred souls unite,
from those who rest in perfect peace
to those in torturous night.
I’m sure you’ll get your just reward
whatever that may be,
for you’ll have chose the place you stay
for all eternity.

Sit up There in You Mansion
It's What You've Wanted for Years
But Tell Me If You Can
Does Money and Mansions Dry Your Tears
Emeralds, Rubies and Diamonds
Are Cold and Have No Emotion
Would You Be Surprised to Know
They Can Show You No Devotion?
I Have No Money or Mansions
But I'm Richer by Far than You
Because Someone Loves Me
And I Love That Someone Too
So Take All Your Material Things
And Snuggle Close and Tight
See How Much Love They Give
When You're Crying in the Night
I'd Rather Have Warm Arms to Hold Me
Than All the Money Anywhere
So I Hope You Find Your Dreams
In the Fancy Clothes You Wear

The Stars lit up the skies and nothing could I see,
Except these huge Mansions that fly in the sky.
Swirling winds picked me up and carried me high.
Making trails in the clouds it was just me.
It was breathtaking just to be,
Afloat the top of mansions that fly.
The Moon was bright and the Sun a bit dry.
They were huge and magnificent to oversea.
Mansions in the sky that fly above it all.
Mesmerized I went in and found no end.
None were too small.
None occupied, not even by a friend!
Mansions that fly fill a brilliant sky,
All emptied but not by I!
