Conscience is silenced

Butchers have no guilt that they have slaughtered.
Choppers have no guilt that they have chopped
Fishermen have no guilt for their catch.
Soldiers have no guilt for their killings
Killing as profession will silence one’s conscience.

In The Sky Tonight Song

In the sky tonight
I see all the airplanes
Flying high while I watch
The air show
And I feel that there is love
In the sky waiting for me

Preferring Nothing Else

Many people living all alone are finding others,
Having the same druthers...
And preferring nothing else,
But to live by themselves.

Many have discovered it is better to not suffer,
From a catapulting into pits...
Deep in others' selfishness,
Who wish to leave their pity!

No...
Hearing of moans.
Or...
A groaning that drones.

Many people living all alone are finding others,
Having the same druthers...
And preferring nothing else,
But to live by themselves.

A Journey Of Honing Words And Wasps...

i hone myself, and i honing i am honed,
like a drone like one drowning drone who wants to master the art of
drinking water, he must have to drown himself first
or even die,

but that will not be the end of it,
dying does not end,

it gives you a start, an upstart of what lies ahead
perhaps
a new beginning, but let us pretend that we do not die

we just hone and keep honing until the honing is perfected
until we become nothing but honers of this craft of living life
like
crazy drones that drown themselves in the water to drink the
whole ocean of thirst and hunger

do not think that i want you to feel what death is and make you
understand about it,

When that second airplane hit the building, we all changed. We need to get back to some serious thinking.

Oldtimers, weekends, and airplane landings are alike. If you can walk away from them, they're successful.

I have this helicopter crash, and I fall in love with this man who was in the crash with me. I must have been suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome.

The extensions

The aircraft of today
Is not superior
To that of Write Brothers.
It is an improved one.
A man is not superior
To himself as a child.

Solar Angels

Golden halos radiating higher
Diamond visions softly breathing fire
Sky processions we are watching you arrive
Silver crystals arching beams below
What light spirals lifting up to go
Glass formations solar angels spread their wings
Spectral gliders drifting in the air
Wheels of wonder floating everywhere
Draped in rainbows gently we ascend

In Sierra Leone last year there was just the two of us hanging out of a helicopter and, when we were in Bosnia, I drove an armoured vehicle, thousands of miles.

Through F1, I bought my own boat. I learned to fly my own plane and helicopter. And my job with my company is a reflection of everything motor racing taught me.

Good Morning Little Schoolgirl

(sonny boy williamson)
[produced by mike vernon, a side of decca f 11996, 1964, first solo single]
Good morning little schoolgirl
Good morning little schoolgirl
Can I come home with
Can I come home with you
Tell your mama and your papa
I once was a schoolboy too
Sometimes I dont know what
Sometimes I dont know what
What in the world
What in the world to do
Oh I dont want to hurt your feelings
Or even get mad at you
At all
Im gonna buy me an airplane
Im gonna buy me an airplane
Fly right over
Fly right over town
If I dont find my baby

Vardey

Effort, fort, support, port, sport, sort;
Cripple, ripple, triple, apple, staple, maple!
And like an unmanned drone aircraft;
On the condition of anonymity.

Guidelines,
On the top of the walls,
For several days,
Because of a normal position;
But, Vardey is now in front of the judge.

Portraying,
Perambulating,
To live with the consequences,
In both countries,
Moving up and down!
Clearly,
In dirt,
To render accounts,
In tears! !

Funeral Blues

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message 'He is Dead'.
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

Everything from airplanes to kitchen blenders and even chopsticks comes with an instruction manual. Children, despite all their complexity, do not.

0342 Like me, like you

Landing airplanes form a high queue;
Busy ants all form a low queue;
Salespersons should pretend they like you;
But only poets can form a haiku.

It’s quiet, very quiet in the veldt

It’s quiet, very quiet in the veldt
even the crickets and grasshoppers
are without sound

and the chopper drones away
leaving me and Johnny
and a few other men

with a Bushmen tracker
to follow a enemy spoor
and suddenly we walk straight in
to a ambush, right into a trap

and Johnny is dead, shot through the head
and three others as well and it feels as if I am in hell
and I am talking to myself

trying to get my bearings while firing at the enemy,
killing some and throwing two grenades
to advice them of my serious intentions

A girl called Lisa

Lisa let’s you come to her place near the airport
and you watch warplanes
disappearing into the blue sky
while you wait for her to open.

She treats you like her boyfriend,
soul mate and brother
and you know that she’s a little mad
and she smiles with tears in her eyes,
shares whiskey, plays pool, dance
and tells about the things
that makes her happy and she trust you
and you leave a gift of money

and before you know it, her lips burn on yours
and you make to love her, as if it’s destined to be.

Jefferson Aero Plane

If it hurts,
Kiss it better
You wear skirts,
I write nice letters
Never said nothing with flowers
Though we always talked for hours
And it seems to get much colder
When you cry on your own shoulder
And we know the show
Must go on
Guess I know
I guess Ill throw on
Some jefferson airplane
Im trapped and I am enclosed
But I wont complain
Ill open all the windows
Jefferson airplane
Im trapped and I am enclosed
But I wont complain
Ill open all the windows

To be happy in this world, first you need a cell phone and then you need an airplane. Then you're truly wireless.
