behind: me, wag.

flapping tree shadows
quietly singing a tune

is your service towards my
very noble cause.

very noble cause
Medical Doctors fulfill--
I am alright, guys!
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
I am alright, guys!
You may have fallen on me
Mishap forgiven.
"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."
mishap forgiven?
or a permanent grudge held?
nothing is certain...

Nothing is certain,
which seems to be the problem
once you've given up.

...the smell of flowers through metal labyrinths.
once you've given up
might as well call The Reaper,
life becomes worthless...
life becomes worthless
unless you choose to fight on
Devil take hindmost...

we forget ourselves sometimes
and give in to wiles..
Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty

Pen in hand engaged,
Cures not the world of beliefs
Dangerous and false
Faith is believing what you know ain't so - Mark Twain
The preachers deal with men of straw, as they are men of straw themselves - Henry David Thoreau
The way to see faith is to shut the eye of reason - Benjamin Franklin
The teaching of the church, theoretically astute, is a lie in practice and a compound of vulgar superstitions and sorcery - Leo Tolstoy
Dangerous and false
spiders' sticky web of lies
silent deadly trap
silent deadly trap,
tongue deadly poison spreads--
enticing many
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
enticing many
with slick flick of sticky tongue
frog satiated
