Here they are! And if you think there are any missing be sure to send them to me! Now here is the best poem in the world and it is a song by that wonderful guy BOB DYLAN! When you read it be prepared to be moved! ------------------------------ It�s Alright, Ma (I�m Only Bleeding) Darkness at the break of noon Shadows even the silver spoon The handmade blade, the child�s balloon Eclipses both the sun and moon To understand you know too soon There is no sense in trying. Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn Suicide remarks are torn From the fool�s gold mouthpiece, the hollow horn Plays wasted words, proves to warn That he not busy being born Is busy dying. Temptation�s page flies out the door You follow, find yourself at war Watch waterfalls of pity roar You feel to moan but unlike before You discover that you�d just be One more person crying. So don�t fear if you hear A foreign sound in your ear It�s alright, Ma, I�m only sighing. As some warn victory, some downfall Private reasons great or small Can be seen in the eyes of those that call To make all that should be killed to crawl While others say they don�t hate nothing at all Except hatred. Disillusioned works like bullets bark As human gods aim for their mark Made everything from toy guns that spark To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark It�s easy to see without looking too far That not much is really sacred. While preachers preach or evil fates Teachers teach that knowledge waits Can lead to hundred dollar plates Goodness hides behind its gates But even the president of the United States Sometimes must have to stand naked. And though the rules of the road have been lodged It�s only people�s games that you got to dodge And it�s alright, ma, I can make it. Advertising signs that con you Into thinking you�re the one That can do what�s never been done That can win what�s never been won Meantime life outside goes on All around you. You lose yourself, you reappear You suddenly find you got nothing to fear Alone you stand with nobody near When a trembling distant voice, unclear Startles your sleeping ears to hear That somebody thinks they really found you. A question in your nerves is lit Yet you know there is no answer fit To satisfy, Insure you not to quit To keep it in your mind and not forget That it is not he or she or them or it That you belong to. Although the masters make the rules For the wisemen and the fools I got nothing, Ma, to live up to. For them that must obey authority That they do not respect in any degree Who despise their jobs, their destinies Speak jealously of them that are free Cultivate their flowers to be Nothing more than something the invest in. While some on principals baptized To strict part platform ties Social clubs in drag disguise Outsiders they can freely criticize Tell nothing except who to idolize And then say God bless him. While one who sings with his tongue on fire Gargles in the rat race choir Bent out of shape by societies pliers Cares not to come up any higher But rather get you down in the hole That he�s in. But I mean no harm nor put no fault On anyone that lives in a vault But it�s alright, Ma, if I can�t please him. Old lady judges watch people in pairs Limited in sex, the dare To push fake morals, insult and stare While money doesn�t talk, it swears Obscenity, who really cares Propaganda, all is phony. While them that defend what they cannot see With a killer�s pride security It blows the mind most bitterly For them that thing death�s honesty Won�t fall upon them naturally Life sometimes must get lonely. My eyes collide head on with stuffed Graveyards, false gods, I scuff At pettiness which plays so rough Walk upside-down inside handcuffs Kick my legs to crash it off Say okay, I have had enough What else can you show me? And if my thought-dreams could be seen They�d probably put my head in a guillotine But it�s alright, Ma, it�s life and life only. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Shelter From the Storm BY BOB DYLAN �Twas in another lifetime One of toil and blood When blackness was a virtue And the road was full of mud I came in from the wilderness A creature void of form �Come in,� she said, �I�ll give you Shelter from the storm And if I pass this way again You can rest assure I�ll always do my best for her On that I give my word In a world of steel-eyed death and men Who are fighting to be warm �Come in,� she said, �I�ll give you Shelter from the storm Not a word was spoke between us There was little risk involved Everything up to that point Had been left unresolved Try imagining a place Where it�s safe and warm �Come in,� she said, �I�ll give you Shelter from the storm I was burned out from exhaustion Buried in the hail Poisoned in the bushes And blown out on the trail Hunted like a crocodile Ravaged in the corn �Come in,� she said, �I�ll give you Shelter from the storm Now there�s a wall between us Something there�s been lost I took to much for granted Got my signals crossed Just to think it all began On a long forgotten mourn �Come in,� she said, �I�ll give you Shelter from the storm Well the deputy walks on hard nails And the preacher rides a mount But nothing really matters much It�s doom alone that counts And the one eyed undertaker He blows a futile horn �Come in,� she said, �I�ll give you Shelter from the storm I�ve heard new born babies wailing Like a morning dove And old men with broken teeth Stranded without love Do I understand your question, man Is it hopeless and forlorn �Come in,� she said, �I�ll give you Shelter from the storm In a little hill top village They gambled for my clothes I bargained for salvation And they gave me a lethal dose I offered up my innocence And got replaced with scorn �Come in,� she said, �I�ll give you Shelter from the storm Well I�m living in a foreign country But I�m bound to cross the line Beauty walks on razor�s edge Someday I�ll make it mine If I could only turn back the clock To when God and her were born �Come in,� she said, �I�ll give you Shelter from the storm ------------------------------ If Dogs Run Free by BOB DYLAN If dogs run free then why not we Across the swooping plain? My ears hear a symphony Of two mules, trains and rain. The best is always yet to come, That�s what they explain to me. Just do you thing, you�ll be king, If dogs run free If dogs run free, why not me Across the swamp of time? My mind weaves a symphony And tapestry of rhyme. Oh, winds which rush my tale to thee So it may flow and be, To each his own, it�s all unknown, If dogs run free If dogs run free, than what must be, Must be, and that is all. True love can make a blade of grass Stand up straight and tall. In harmony with the cosmic sea, True love needs no company, It can cure the soul, it can make it whole, If dogs run free. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Across The Universe | Lennon/McCartney Words are flying out like endless rain into a paper cup They slither while they pass They slip away across the universe Pools of sorrow waves of joy are drifting thorough my open mind Possessing and caressing me Jai guru deva om Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes That call me on and on across the universe Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe Jai guru deva om Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Sounds of laughter shades of earth are ringing through my open views inciting and inviting me Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns It calls me on and on across the universe Jai guru deva om Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Jai guru deva Jai guru deva ------------------------------ Tomorrow Never Knows Lennon/McCartney Turn off your mind, relax and float down stream It is not dying It is not dying Lay down all thought Surrender to the void It is shining It is shining That you may see The meaning of within It is being It is being That love is all And love is everyone It is knowing It is knowing That ignorance and hate May mourn the dead It is believing It is believing But listen to the color of your dreams It is not living It is not living Or play the game existence to the end Of the beginning Of the beginning Of the beginning Of the beginning Of the beginning Of the beginning ------------------------------ Within You Without You George Harrison We were talking about the space between us all and people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion never glimpse the truth then it's far too late when they pass away We were talking about the love we all could share When we find it to try our best to hold it there with our love, with our love we could save the world if they only knew Try to realize it's all within yourself no one else ca make you change And to see you're really only very small and life flows on within you and without you We were talking about the love that's gone so cold and the people who gain the world and lose their soul They don't know, they can't see Are you one of them When you've seen beyond yourself then you may find peace of mind is waiting there And the time will come when you see we're all one and life flows on within you and without you ------------------------------ And So It Goes By Billy Joel (given to me by Jada Andrews) In every heart there is a room A sanctuary safe and strong To heal the wounds from lovers past Until a new one comes along I spoke to you in cautious tones You answered me with no pretense And still I feel I said too much My silence is my self defense And every time I've held a rose It seems I only felt the thorns And so it goes, and so it goes And so will you soon I suppose But if my silence made you leave Then that would be my worst mistake So I will share this room with you And you can have this heart to break And this is why my eyes are closed It's just as well for all I've seen And so it goes, and so it goes And you're the only one who knows So I would choose to be with you That's if the choice were mine to make But you can make decisions too And you can have this heart to break And so it goes, and so it goes And you're the only one who knows
