It’s a mistery to me
we have a greed
with which we have agreed
You think you have to want
more than you need
until you have it all you won’t be free
society, you’re a crazy breed
I hope you’re not lonely without me
When you want more than you have
you think you need
and when you think more than you want
your thoughts begin to bleed
I think I need to find a bigger place
‘cos when you have more than you think
you need more space
society, you’re a crazy breed
I hope you’re not lonely without me
society, crazy and deep
I hope you’re not lonely without me
there’s those thinking more or less less is more
but if less is more how you’re keeping score?
Means for every point you make
your level drops
kinda like its starting from the top
you can’t do that…
- Society (Eddie Vedder)
Listen. Even in stillness we move. Souls stay intoxicated by the rhythms of mariposas. We transgress. Take a drink. Here da notes. Life is full. Let Religions and nations divide. We dance in fire. Orchestras within organic bottles. Unleash ure songs so that we all may listen to such beautiful notes and dance in ur parade!! - Asere
I lived on the even side of street at apt 22. I gazed at my neighbors across the street thinking they were happier, their rooms were sunnier, their parties more fun. Unfortunately, their rooms were smaller and darker. They too, gazed across the street … because we always think that luck is what we don’t have.

if you’re going to try, go all the
way. otherwise, don’t even start.
if you’re going to try, go all the
way. this could mean losing girlfriends,
wives, relatives, jobs and
maybe your mind.
go all the way.
it could mean not eating for 3 or 4 days.
it could mean freezing on a park bench.
it could mean jail,
it could mean derision,
mockery, isolation.
isolation is the gift,
all the others are a test of your endurance, of
how much you really want to do it.
and you’ll do it
despite rejection and the
worst odds
and it will be better than
anything else
you can imagine.
if you’re going to try,
go all the way.
there is no other feeling like that.
you will be alone with the gods
and the nights will flame with fire.
do it, do it, do it.
do it.
all the way
all the way.
you will ride life straight to
perfect laughter,
it’s the only good fight
there is.
Roll the Dice
by Charles Bukowski
years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
Oh, oh deep water, black and cold like the night
I stand with arms wide open
I’ve run a twisted line
I’m a stranger in the eyes of the Maker
And I could not see for the fog in my eyes
I could not feel for the fear in my life
From across the great divide
In the distance I saw the light
Of John Baptist walking to me with the Maker
My body is bent and broken by long and dangerous sleep
I can’t work the fields of Abraham and turn my head away
I’m not a stranger in the hands of the Maker
Brother John, have you seen the homeless daughters
Standing there with broken wings
I have seen the flaming sword
There over east of Eden
Burning in the eyes of the Maker
- Daniel Loins, sung by Dave Matthews band.
“Take my photo off the wall
If it just won’t sing for you
‘Cause all that’s left has gone away
And there’s nothing there for you to do
Oh, look what you’ve done
You’ve made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems likes such fun
Until you lose what you had won”
I’ve heard you say many times that your better than no one and no one is better than you. If you really believe that you know you have nothing to win and nothing to lose. From fixtures and forces and friends your sorrow does stem. That hype you and type you makin’ you feel That you gotta be just like them.
