Epigram #125:
FACTS


To know, understand and do
Our actions cause facts we woo

In doing less
And thinking more
I have thought of much
And learned nothing
In chasing this disease
I am powerless over alcohol
And I begin AA...

Love is always  smoldering when we wash it on ourselves,
but brilliant when we shower it on others.

Call to the way of your Lord 
With wisdom and sweet exhortation
And go for the best manner while having disputation
Surely your Lord best knows 
Who is going astray
And who is following the right way....

A vida e os negócios
precisam do seu 100%,
ninguém pode compensar 
75% de esforço hoje,
dando 125% amanhã. 

Você tem que dar 
100 por cento 
todos os instantes
até no fazer
mais e mais....

Billions in taxes
Dished out on deep space research
For mankind’s progress
While millions know starvation
Who is defining progress?

Peter has 150 candy bars, he eats 125, what does he have now
Diabetes... thought it would be kinda obvious he'd be endowed
Should have known better
Followed doc's orders to the letter
Instead of gorging himself like a big fat cow...

I ride the waves of innocence
on the ocean of The Now.
From the depths of dank
a demon stalks my bow.

In her resting place — she’d toy
with shadows, matchsticks
and glow in the dark paint.

Out and about — she’d fly
through the night, wax her teeth
and loudly sip her straw.

A mordacious-red stain upon her tongue.

Humming down this highway at 125
Blue Lights in the rear view
wishing he could drive

dump it into 5th, kick in turbo rpm's
rocket blast blows Blue Lights
in the ditch

rob thomas on the stereo
assures me ‘it’s all right’
just a minor glitch

little sunshine yellow Beetle,
on we hum without a hitch...

the princess and frog

                                 he hid in the flowerpot

I gained some weight recently.
I've been exercising and eating less..
It doesn't help.
I looked into my family history.
I'm doomed to be short and fat.
I'm five feet tall.
I already weigh 135 pounds.
And I'm growing.
Out. Not up.
My boyfriend doesn't touch me anymore.
He says it's because we argue.
We don't argue more than usual.
But by the time I hit 125...
Nah, he doesn't touch me now.
I'm doomed......

Familiarity
Can sometimes be
A chisel
That slowly chips away
At human souls
Stripping first the aura
Then splintering
The shiny, pearly shell
To finally bear 
The red, raw meat
That often brings contempt.

Technology ascending
  Traditional religion ending
Robots comprehending
  Life's secrets upending

Black holes extending
  Cyber wars impending
Electronic devices contending
  Wizard-like gurus pretending

Media noise unrelenting
   Massive armament-spending
Extremism transcending
   Holocausts never ending

How much better now, our enlightened Life --
   Man's Progress measured in Death, Polarization and Strife...
