Survival of the Fittest
To seek all that is right and wrong To believe in what is true To lose all track of time and space And never search for clues To find even the slightest thing To upset Nature’s balance Would certainly be foolish So why take the chance? I’ve grown accustomed to the light And I’ve grown weary of the night I can’t tell you what it means to fight For all the things that I feel are right Life is full of so many choices So listen to the many voices They might help you to decide What affects you deep inside Survival of the fittest, reality Don’t you believe in…

The Vehicle
A body walks the earth Aimlessly Naive of the things That it sees Missing the single element That separates the beings — The ability to share with others The songs it wishes to sing Mind in matter Helping the other to grow Mind using matter To learn the things it wants to know Vehicle in motion Transporting thoughts Expressing ideas Of immobile minds, Immortal souls — Through companionship and loyalty Experiments and curiosity They both shall thrive To keep the other alive Now it can travel The universe And wonder about the things That it sees In contact with the elements And knowing what they mean Is a part of…

Csintar
(Trainer of Thoughts) Careful concentration And silent contemplation Shall guide you through A world of fascination… See not with your eyes Hear not with your ears Utter not a single sound Don’t believe what you’ve been told For the truth you may already hold Or, indeed, it may not be found. Let the imagination run wild As it did when you were just a child! Now live out your dream To its full extent But if you stop it short You’ll lose its whole intent. Thinker Dreamer Unsure believer Be your wonder Live your thoughts Experience your dream…

Method to the Madness
Simplicity beyond expression Ideas beyond control Foresight into the master plan Which not even you can know So no one can understand Hoping it will come together Praying it will all work out Putting to work the master plan Using the easiest route Doing the best that you can For there is method to the madness A scheme beyond compare There’s system to the chaos Of which you are unaware A shining hope — a brilliant star That you can’t believe A quiet thought — a brilliant dream That you can’t retrieve Searching for minds that know the scheme To help you in your quest To make the master plan…

Empyreus
Here I am again Trapped in empty space I wonder who I am And why I’m in this place I am silent peace Growing and unknown I wander throughout time Without a place to go I don’t exist But without me Nothing else would be I cannot be seen Yet I cannot hide How can I be so full And feel so empty inside I am loneliness Immune to night and day I am the Universe And I think I’ll be okay…

Between the Lines
Exposing the heart With well-chosen words Is a time-embraced event By finding the hidden Thought of mind Behind a twisted word Digging for gold among the clay To decode the secret message for the day Sifting through rubble, rubbish and rust And tossing away that one piece of dust Among the shining leaves of gold Beneath the designer clothes There is something that is Trying to be said We try to understand the things That are spoken under breath And try to figure out What’s going on inside their heads Instead of knowing what was meant And sharing their grand designs We must search for clues To help us read…

Empty Streets
Dust-covered dirt Rolling tumbleweeds Shadows of unlawful deeds Lonely winds fill The hollow days Showing how the earth decays At one time people filled These empty streets They never knew who they might meet But as time went by They disappeared Along with the outlaws that they feared Empty streets — The world goes on For it is strong Live and let die As time goes by The world goes away But comes back another way That scene from another time Can’t predict what We will find No one knows Nobody knows What the world will leave behind Only time can tell How things will be When the world sets…

Social Surgery
Somewhere underground — Underworld — changing of the guards Bad judgement when they needed good Unlucky draw of the cards Vanished from the face of the earth Retired at an early age Time to bring the new kid in Start him at a higher wage Somewhere in office — Overworld — changing of the fools Tried when someone else was watching Caught while breaking the rules Get down and start a whole new life Reached the end of the line Go on home and fish awhile Now that you’ve paid the fine Slip them through the woodwork Filter out the embarrassments Must keep the package neatly wrapped Hide apparent nuisance…

Never Too Late
Once in time we took a step Across forbidden lines To see the sights beyond the lights And the world that we might find We stopped and stared at what we saw Amazed and mesmerized Afraid and paralyzed Bound by our freedom Chained by fear Should we turn back Or venture on So often we feel we’ve gone too far To turn back and start again As we believe we’ve made a vow To get in high over our heads But it’s much too easy to turn around And go back the way we came It’s never too late to make a change It’s never too late to change Trapped…

The Darklight
Standing on the edge of the Pharaoh’s tomb Wall emitting light The natives know they all are doomed They stand motionless with fright No one moves — timeless waiting Amidst the anxious night… Silver and gold As they were told Lay buried amongst the dead Yet they knew What they must do To take it all instead An ominous feeling hangs in the air The natives turn and flee Those in greed tremble and stare In frightened disbelief The crypt is opened slowly with care Photographers stealing the scene Vicious colors of amber and red Startling evermore Growing strong in the Pharaoh’s den The light takes shape and form A…
