A Prayer to the Killed
Kill the mullahs who rain terror
Kill the Jews who fire the missiles
Inspiring the mullahs to hit back
Kill the white men who arm them both
Kill the brown, the black, and the yellow men
Who are so busy killing,
They forget the art of living
Kill all the killers
Kill em all
BUT after you hunt down the hunters, my friend
Say a prayer for the innocent gone
The ones who didn”t know why they were dying
Who jumped a hundred floors
To avoid the burning of their skin.
Say a prayer for the people who were trying to save them
And couldn”t save themselves
A prayer for the people who struggled and died in the air
Rather than kill some more on the ground
Say a prayer for the dead, the dying and the coming dead
Kill the killers
But know what forced them to hate you so much
And pray for the killed
Whether they are yours or the enemy”s, my friend
Amen.

root cause of creativity
is most often necessity
to improvise and move on ahead
often is a matter of butter and bread
sometimes its just an whimsical
impulse created out of sheer boredom
dissatisfaction with the prevailing status quo
may lead to bursts of creativity for me and you
Modern scientists say creativity is affected by the serotonin in your brain
I think it’s simpler - a desire to break out of your mundane daily pain
Day before yesterday,
My younger borther gifted me an Ipod
for my 31 st birthday.
And now I am in love,
life a gift from heaven above,
with the smooth ipod,
in her little black dress.
The sound is good, the design is cool,
31 years it took me to realize I am a fool.
Why i didnot buy the I pod before ,
Why didnot I visit the i-tunes store.
And my friend Billy Joel sings,
his heart out on silvery ipod wings,
I rotate the dial a bit,
The songs are old, but they are still an hit.
Now I am maybe old, and getting older still,
but the Ipod classic gives my heart a thrill .
Whats your excuse mister, why dont you buy it too,
Give life some meaning , with more music in you.
