war and blood life and death intrigue and politics father and son
economy's screwed. country's screwed. enron has a new ceo. a king of shambles. why can't we just glue it all together. thermodynamics and entropy. a closed system tends to chaos. death destruction chaos stability. silence stillness nothing

i_love_you_world
let us
live in peace
with mutual respect
why should we let some die while others live
by the hand of humankind
why must we
blindly trust this fate?
what clock do you keep
what step and drum do you hear?
can you not see
a revolution in consciousness emerging?

Sunshine is the state of hope
Sunshine is the state of grace
But why have you departed from me
Now is darkness around
I was arrested and carried away by strangers.
O they are my brothers
I was forced to danced to the beat of their music
We ate all the food left behind by my mother
And destroyed my very house
Now I know they are not my brothers
The strangers said they have gone to settle in peace
In their home town
Where would I hide my self against nightfall?
That these child soldiers have made.
O sun-shine o sun shine why have you departed from me
It is darkness around here,
My hopes are down
Never to meet sunshine again.

When I was born
No one told me
I would be captured at 10
To show early muscles
In the lion’s den
But soon I became 10
I’m forced to lay down my pen
And learnt soon
How to dodge a bomb blast
And to make a whole family never last
-Oh When I Was Born

"I tell you. You cannot feel the pain of this suffering if you don't see it physically. If you only glance at it, a sword of sorrow will pierce your heart. What on earth is it that man today does not care for his fellow humans?"
