Kingsland: Sitting here alone on Christmas day. Typing a message on my computer for everyone out there on Fanstory. Have yourself a Merry Christmas and hug the ones you love. For having someone to love is everything in this life...

    Amsterdam: Perception, rejection
    Life's inspection

    We crept, we slept
    Then we wept

    It's a masquerade
    A slow moving parade

    If you're not living
    You're dying

    The colors are confused
    It comes down to win or lose

    Moments breaking like waves
    All in the darkness of your cave

    Millions don't know the one
    It's all controlled with bombs and guns

    Everything falls as motion flows
    The mind expands and wants to know

    Positions, revisions
    All in your decision

    The strange will rearrange
    In the basement of the deranged

    Six stars
    Yet I never paid

    well written
    how everyone

    is
    just saying

    you know it's been a long day.

    PLEASE-
    -
    Amsterdam: Let me sleep-
    then I'll awake. -

Kingsland: Today I'm sixty eight, tomorrow I will be one day older then that. Old in my body, but young in my mind. I'm just an old codger, that's everything I find. So happy birthday to me. I'm as old as can be. Just singing and fretting, down on one knee...
    Taffspride: Happy birthday, enjoy your day. Although I am older than you, I certainly don't feel old, at least most of the time I don't. -
    Kingsland: -
    mrsmajor: Happy Birthday John, and I wish you many more...To me you're just past a teenager, I was 81 years old this September 1st...and besides a few aches and pains, this old mind of mine, is still working...Have a Wonderful Day! -
    evilynne: Happy

Kingsland: I preach to you, you're about to receive old John Barley-corn nicotine and a temptation of eight

Walking by the sewer sign
Hot dog my razor broke
Water running up the spout
But I don't care, let it all hang out

Seen a cop write a ticket to a man over fifty
Fell over laughing, screaming he was a hippie...


Kingsland:
    Amsterdam:
    Wake up to the comedy
    politics is a circus
    Why can't you see
    The only one who wins
    The one who holds the ring...

    Wake up people
    Paper is not money
    What are writers writing?

    Flowers , fairy tales
    And honey bees

    Wake up everybody...
    The future is now
    In your hands

    What will it be

    Wake up!!
    Or
    Stay asleep.

    Amsterdam: All know the path,
    but few actually walk it .

    two roads diverged in a wood .

    and I took the less traveled by .

    and that has made all the difference .

    ~ Robert Frost -


Kingsland:
    mrsmajor: A very beautiful song John, with meaningful words, that I'm sure were from the heart of one, thought not able to see, still has hope for a better future...
    "heal the world"..."there are people dying"
    It is my Faith that carries me through each day, and I look forward to a better days as well...
    With so much hate and evil amongst us, it will come, for me, when everlasting life, as promised, has taken my soul to that place. -
    seren james: lovely song and words John, thanks for posting.Yes, we can make that place here and now, not when we are dead.. -

Kingsland: "Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
― Patrick Henry
    michaelcahill: This should always be presented with the full quote and not just the familiar ending. Powerful. -
    Amsterdam: those who trade freedom , and liberty ...
    for a little security.

    are fools and deserve neither .~ somebody smart -


Kingsland: "Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."
― Martin Luther King Jr.,
    Kingsland: "Hating people because of their color is wrong. And it doesn't matter which color does the hating. It's just plain wrong."
    ― Muhammad Ali -
    giraffmang: Great quotes, my friend. I believe I had the Muhammad Ali one on a poster on my wall growing up. Great man - after all that was done to him too -
    Kingsland: -
    mrsmajor: Whether White on Black or Black on White it is indeed Wrong.. -
    Amsterdam: I doubt this was aired in the US.
    Never heard that one before.

    So long ago-
    Still Nobody gets what it says.....

    I will stand and fight,
    Freedom or Death.

    I bet he won ever fight with only one muscle...His heart.

    thank you for sharing. -
    Amsterdam: Who said to shoot? Rockefeller !

"The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the Prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced"
― Albert Einstein
    Amsterdam:
    sounds kind of like that war on pot ~
    we caught you three to five years ....
    selling heroin ~
    a counselor says the judge....
    got to really like...
    the war on drugs . -

    pipersfancy: So let me live my life the way I want to... -


Kingsland:
?The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on an individual level. It's got to happen inside first.?
― Jim Morrison
    Amsterdam: From birth...you hear "No" way more than yes.

    Are we really free...
    Wait, let me guess.

    am -
    Amsterdam: YOU ARE ALL SLAVES!!!
    ~Jim Morrison -


Kingsland:
?The government is merely a servant―merely a temporary servant; it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is right and what is wrong, and decide who is a patriot and who isn't. Its function is to obey orders, not originate them.?
― Mark Twain
    Amsterdam: that's probably why they threw his editor in a mental institution . -


Kingsland: When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.

Jimi Hendrix

    Amsterdam: I concur. -


Kingsland: Are you a phillumenist?

Kingsland:
Eclipse

All that you touch
All that you see
All that you taste
All you feel.
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
All you save.
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy,
beg, borrow or steal.
All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
All that you say.
All that you eat
And everyone you meet
All that you slight
And everyone you fight.
All that is now
All that is gone
All that's to come
and everything under the sun is in tune
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

"There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it's all dark."

Roger Waters...


    Imogen JH: This Roger Waters, bloke. Didn't he write some rubbish. -
    Kingsland: You call that rubbish, then you're a very poor judge of poetic art... -
    Imogen JH: I've seen more poetic art in the Telephone directory. LOL. -
    Patti R.: Loved this, John. Roger Waters ... Pink Floyd? -
    Kingsland: Imogen, you muted me because we go back and forth on this forum having fun with each other. At least I believed we were having fun. I actually liked going back and forth with you. But evidently you didn't feel the same way as I did.... -
    4tun81: Imogen muted me too. You are in a distinguished group.

    -
    Dean Kuch: And I was muted by this fool as well. What a cretin... -
    Amsterdam: I feel left out...
    I'm left in. -


Kingsland: Who ever said that no two snow flakes are alike is a ludicrous statement, if I have ever heard it. As there is no way to prove it, and more ways to disprove it then prove it...
    Imogen JH: Good grief you are so boring. zzzzzzzzz. -
    Kingsland: And just exactly what am I boring, holes in the ground? -
    mrsmajor: If he is so boring, why do you read his posts...don't you think that statement was a bit much, I certainly do... -
    Imogen JH: I always read 'Kingsland's' posts. I try not, but his posts are like driving past a car crash. You know you shouldn't look, but you just can't help yourself. -
    Kingsland: I'm not sure if I should take that as an insult or a complement... -
    mrsmajor: Oh I see, then they can't be that boring, -
    michaelcahill: I'll stand by my original statement, "No two snowflakes are alike and it's impossible to prove or disprove it... SO THERE!" -
    Amsterdam: He's got a little black book with his poems in.

    I got a Silver spoon on a chain.

    Got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains .

    I've got wide staring eyes ....

    and I've got a strong urge to fly ....

    but I have nowhere to fly to ....

    that is how I know ....

    when I try to get through ...

    on the telephone to you ...

    there will still be ..

    nobody home .

    the world's different when you see through that prism ...

Kingsland: Today is yesterday's tomorrow...
    pipersfancy: Ah... yes... but what's a week next Tuesday? -
    Kentucky Sweet Pea: If it won't matter in 100 years who cares? -
    michaelcahill: I will. -
    Amsterdam: Today is yesterdays' tomorrow
    Time we don't get to borrow
    Crime causes all of the sorrow
    Today is yesterdays' tomorrow



    -
    Patti R.: @ Piper's fancy - a week next Tuesday is when you need to pay for the hamburger today. Who said that? -
    Marilyn J. Brown: Thank you so much for using my painting "A Horse to Love" to illustrate your poem. -


Kingsland: Free me from the mass illusions of every day idiots and their brainless thinking...
    michaelcahill: Hey, your membership is paid, you may as well use it.... -
    granny goes viral: Hey can I come with? -


Kingsland: Word Assault

Picture a pristine portion
A mellow moment of motion
A delicate dance to deliver
A stately stance on a sliver

It's all an open opulence oceanic
Within a friendly fountain of frantic
It's a calamity of continuous caution
A devil-may-care of dandy devotion

A remedy in a rising revolution
With a funky fashionable fruition
It's all a jaunt in a jovial juxtaposition
A vote within volitional volition

A frantically functional finish
In a dynamic division not diminished

John Allen Kingsland


Kingsland: Speech from movie" Secondhand Lions...

"Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good. That honor, courage and virtue mean everything; that power and money... Money and power mean nothing. That good always triumphs over evil. And I want you to remember this.... That love.... True love never dies ! Remember that boy... Remember that it doesn't matter if it is true or not, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in......
    Linda Engel: so true and OH! that is one of my all time favorite movies. -
    c_lucas: One who always speak the truth, needs not to remember his lies. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very enlightened read. -


Kingsland: On Pain

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses
your understanding.

Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its
heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.

And could you keep your heart in wonder at the
daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem
less wondrous than your joy;

And you would accept the seasons of your heart,
even as you have always accepted the seasons that
pass over your fields.

And you would watch with serenity through the
winters of your grief.

Much of your pain is self-chosen.

It is the bitter potion by which the physician within
you heals your sick self.

Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy
in silence and tranquility:

For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by
the tender hand of the Unseen,

And the cup he brings, though it burn your lips, has
been fashioned of the clay which the Potter has
moistened with His own sacred tears.


Khalil Gibran


Kingsland: On Teaching
Then said a teacher, "Speak to us of Teaching."
And he said:
No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of our knowledge.
The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple, among his followers, gives not of his wisdom but rather of his faith and his lovingness.
If he is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind.
The astronomer may speak to you of his understanding of space, but he cannot give you his understanding.
The musician may sing to you of the rhythm which is in all space, but he cannot give you the ear which arrests the rhythm nor the voice that echoes it.
And he who is versed in the science of numbers can tell of the regions of weight and measure, but he cannot conduct you thither.
For the vision of one man lends not its wings to another man.
And even as each one of you stands alone in God's knowledge, so must each one of you be alone in his knowledge of God and in his understanding of the earth.

Kahlil Gibran


Kingsland: If you ran forever in one direction
You would end up back where you began
    desdeomonas: If you ran 'forever' you would keep passing it : ) -
    jlsavell: Is that so? A "you" does not know forever, so that is impossible despite any direction you attempt. -
    Kingsland: It was a question, not a statement
    Forever is just an abatement... -
    jlsavell: Forever is what? Please expand. I do not get it. Your comment was not written in question form..but if it was I was answering it, or making an observation. -

    ulster3: People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered; Forgive them anyway.
    If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.
    If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway.
    If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.
    What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway.
    If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway.
    The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.
    Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway.

    BOWLED300: sorry kingsland I meant to add to your review that they asked Dennis Rodman and Hulk Hogan If they could change one thing and do it again what would it be? In tears they both said the time I lost with my children. I wish I could have been a father and spent more time with them. Oh how we take it for granted -

Life is for living
So live it quite well
Always keeps smiling
So no one can tell
If you're high or down
Just turn that frown around
Go forth with that smile
Be who you are
Never let anyone
Put you in a jar
For life is worth living
So live it quite well
Aways keep smiling
So no one can tell... John Allen Kingsland

Kingslandisms

I am usurping and coagulating
An inside out undulating
In through thoughts captivating

And now a word from the sponsor, ism
Into the mirror of my visions
Curving through colorful indecisions

In the moisture moving so fine
It's staggered in a symbolic sign

Creeping to the door where fellowship rings
A positive aspiration waiting to bring

A stalwart adventure in nomenclature
The mind is waving, but will not indenture
To the negative found in this venture

Curving through colorful indecisions
Into the mirror of my visions
A point in the majesty unforgiven
My thoughts are Kingslandisms
