Interact with each other, they follow like sheeple
If someone says jump
They interrupt their lunch
And oblige which is certainly a trifle bit creeple...

Were I a rose
   I would model graciously –
Oblige those of wise choice
   And prickle my enemy;

If just a blade of grass
   I would blend in – nonchalant –
And peoplewatch as they pass
   With no desire to flaunt....

If I had never uttered such word; then I wouldn't exist,
Maybe if I hadn't tried to play such a big role, then maybe just maybe, 
I can live without greeting a salutation to a day...

Move with the times as action flows,
Observe the chimes and learn to know;
Oblige the rhyme within the field,
Does stillness mime what spirit shows?

Observe the rage that folly plays;
Oblige the stage of foolish pride,
Live well each page ere time can slay.

All birds can’t drink everything flamingoes gulp. 
Hawks inconsequentially jaunt kilometers.
 Loutish macaws never oblige parrots. 
Quail run several trails under vines. 
White xerophytes yield zenithal albatrosses.

In my slumber I am wide awake,
Though my restless mind is tired.
A wall of sleep 
Beckons.
Behind it I reside.
My dreams are filled
With still shots of your smile.
So please,
For my sake,
Do not oblige.
I do not wish to rise today....

Oblige dark pains the mindless show;
Observe fond gains in foolish whim,
Live  deep complains the dreary know.

Oblige fine cheer fluid spike of noise;
Urge now draws near that profound flow,

Word your way well with tact that shows,
Oblige fond tell with grace that glows;
Reach that wise spell as love shapes truth,
Dance where you dwell in ample flow.

I'm available--
exposed.
Caught in the crossfire
of handshakes and smiles. 
The smoke grips my lungs.

I cannot oblige. 
I will not oblige. 

So I dream.
I elope with restlessness
into the fluid incubator.
I build my own prison
where I can be free....

Young secretary, she was at a loss
if for an increase of pay she should ask,
thinks she has done well all the given task,
plea is denied for she doesn’t oblige the boss.

How true it is- it's you I miss, 
Deep inside my Heart's bare core 
Oblige me, please, with one more kiss-
Oh, my Love- this I implore!
Of you I dream the sweetest dreams, 
That in my arms you hither lie 
When I awake, and seen what I've seen, 
By my own guilt I wish to die!...
