Are
you driven by external factors or from within. Are you in without an
engine, you can only go as far as you pushed or pulled? If you are in
a car with an engine you can go as far as you want. Think about that
for a minute. Are you driven by the hyped up WHA WHA RA RA! Or by the

is not influenced by outside factors.

Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat.

CHILDRENIt is for me once morethat time of the year,when my paternal emotions soar,as the festive season draws near.Doll houses I crafted with care,every year a different style,with a desire to be

THE GIRL FROM QATIFIs justice seen to be fair,her scales balanced equitable;when judges dont seem to care,about that which is reputable.Appointed by royal decree,short of only a sceptre to

NIGHT IN GRABOUWIn benign Grabouw, where apples grow;far as i can recall,there is no crime at any given time;no violence at all.Nestled in the hollow, it's hard to swallow,what has happened there;a night on the town, brought a man down,a few drinks to ease the care.The country silently sleeps, my soul quietly weeps,for someone I did'nt know,beaten to death in a cell, trapped in a living hell;waiting for the

DON'T SAY A WORDPlease don't say a word.When I'm back on the roadI'll think of promises I heard;that they were lies will leave me cold,I would rather fill my senses,with the love which we now feelwhen

to reach a decision;groping in the void darkness,praying for a vision,and its halo of brightness:when all that comes is disjecta membra.The stale scattered crumbs,of an almost forgotten september,to some fall others spring.The decay and birth,of fully unfurled wings,and the return to earth.Sleeping silently in my mind,things I wanted to say,all of them not unkind,anything to make you
