I reckon God is unlike any god
we've made or will, within our image and
in likeness of ourselves, for they've all got
our motives on, to help them up, to stand!
For then I try to understand myself
(with reas'ning circ-u-lar) from off of them.
I rash-nalize by this means, then, my health
(or lack thereof), by looking up to when
I'd be a god and rule upon this Earth
(or time & space quite similar to this).
But not so I will grow into my birth-
right here and now, when things seem quite remiss,
but so I'll feel about myself, quite good
(and sometimes act much better than the gods),
and if I fail occash'nally that would
be not so bad, considering those bods.
No other gods achieve their ends "perhaps";
and have as purposes that others "might"
reach out to find the one who is to chaps
(and chap-ess-es) quite close, both day & night;
as does this God, who knows we need to fear
him, not because he'll make us if we don't,
but 'coz he made us capable, and we're
designed by love to choose - unless we won't.
And when a poet sees the poetry
within this world of God's, and speaks it out,
it's like that tree of life, or t'other tree,
that woos, and those who choose from love won't pout!
“His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him—though he is not far from any one of us. For in him we live and move and exist. As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’
Acts of the Apostles in partnership with the spirit of God 17:27-28 NLT
ζητεῖν τὸν ⸀θεὸν εἰ ἄρα γε ψηλαφήσειαν αὐτὸν καὶ εὕροιεν, καί γε οὐ μακρὰν ἀπὸ ἑνὸς ἑκάστου ἡμῶν ὑπάρχοντα. ἐν αὐτῷ γὰρ ζῶμεν καὶ κινούμεθα καὶ ἐσμέν, ὡς καί τινες τῶν καθ’ ὑμᾶς ποιητῶν εἰρήκασιν· Τοῦ γὰρ καὶ γένος ἐσμέν.

Songs by Eurythmics
Thorn in my side ..
Run, run, from you. …. Or is it to you? depends on who the "you" is!
Thorn in My Side
Song by Eurythmics
Yeah
You gave me such a bad time
Tried to hurt me
But now I know
Thorn in my side
You know that's all you ever were
A bundle of lies
You know that's all that it was worth
I should have known better
But I trusted you at first
I should have known better
But I got what I deserved
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
To run away from you
Was all that I could do
To run away from you
Was all that I could do
To run away from you
Was all that I could do
To run away from you
Was all that I could do
Thorn in my side
You know that's all you'll ever be
So don't think you know better
'Cause that's what you mean to me
I was feeling complicated
I was feeling low
Now every time I think of you
I shiver to the bone
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
To run away from you
Was all that I could do
To run away from you
Was all that I could do
To run away from you
Was all that I could do
To run away from you
Was all that I could do
Would I lie to you?
Song by Eurythmics
Would I lie to you?
Would I lie to you honey?
Now would I say something that wasn't true?
I'm asking you sugar
Would I lie to you?
My friends know what's in store
I won't be here anymore
I've packed my bags
I've cleaned the floor
Watch me walkin'
Walkin' out the door
Believe me, I'll make it, make it
Tell me, would I lie to you?
Believe me, I'll make, it make it
Ooh, yes I will
Would I lie to you? (Oh no, no)
Would I lie to you honey? (Honey, would I lie to you?)
Now would I say something that wasn't true?
I'm asking you sugar
Would I lie to you?
Tell you straight, no intervention
To your face, no deception
You're the biggest fake
That much is true
Had all I can take
Now I'm leaving you
Believe me, I'll make it, make it
Oh, yes I will
Believe me, I'll make, it make it
Make it, make it, make it, make it...
Would I lie to you? (I'll make, it make it)
Would I lie to you honey?
Now would I say something that wasn't true?
I'm asking you sugar
Would I lie?
Would I lie to you?
Would I lie to you honey?
Now would I say something that wasn't true?
I'm asking you sugar
Would I lie to you?
My friends know what's in store
I won't be here anymore
I've packed my bags
I've cleaned the floor
Watch me walkin'
Walkin' out the door
Believe me, watch me, watch me
Ooh yeah
Believe me, watch me, watch me
Ooh, yes I will
Would I lie to you?
Believe me, watch me, watch me, watch me
Ooh yeah
Would I lie to you?
Believe me, watch me, watch me
I said, would I lie to you? (Ooh yeah)
Believe me
Watch me, watch me, watch me
Watch me, watch me, watch me, ooh (believe me)
Ah-huh, ah-huh yeah
Watch me now
Oh honey, would I lie? Honey, would I lie.?

There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)
Song by Eurythmics
No one on earth could feel like this
I'm thrown and overblown with bliss
There must be an Angel
Playing with my heart
I walk into an empty room
And suddenly my heart goes boom
It's an orchestra of Angels
And they're playing with my heart
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
No one on earth could feel like this
I'm thrown and overblown with bliss
There must be an Angel
Playing with my heart
And when I think that I'm alone
It seems there's more of us at home
It's a multitude of Angels
And they're playing with my heart, yeah
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
Must be talking to an Angel
I must be hallucinating
Watching Angels celebrating
Could this be reactivating
All my senses dislocating?
This must be a strange deception
By celestial intervention
Leaving me the recollection
Of your Heavenly connection
I walk into an empty room
Suddenly my heart goes boom
It's an orchestra of angels
They're playing with my heart, yeah
Missionary man
Born an original sinner, i was virn from original sin..
Man on a mission
I've a message for you that you better believe
Missionary Man
Song by Eurythmics
Well I was born an original sinner.
I was borne from original sin.
And if I had a dollar bill
For all the things I've done
There'd be a mountain of money
Piled up to my chin
My mother told me good
My mother told me strong.
She said "Be true to yourself
And you can't go wrong."
"But there's just one thing
That you must understand."
"You can fool with your brother
But don't mess with a missionary man."
Don't mess with a missionary man.
Don't mess with a missionary man.
Well the missionary man
He's got god on his side.
He's got the saints and apostles
Backin' up from behind.
Black eyed looks from those bible books.
He's a man with a mission
Got a serious mind.
There was a woman in the jungle
And a monkey on a tree.
The missionary man he was followin' me.
He said "Stop what you're doing."
"Get down upon your knees."
"I've a message for you that you better believe."

The miracle of love will .. take away your pain,
When the miracle of love comes your way again..
If you open your heart, you can make a new start… the miracle of love..
The miracle of love
Song by Eurythmics
How many sorrows
Do you try to hide
In a world of illusion
That's covering your mind?
I'll show you something good
Oh I'll show you something good.
When you open your mind
You'll discover the sign
That there's something
You're longing to find
The miracle of love
Will take away your pain
When the miracle of love
Comes your way again.
Cruel is the night
That covers up your fears.
Tender is the one
That wipes away your tears.
There must be a bitter breeze
To make you sting so viciously
They say the greatest coward
Can hurt the most ferociously.
But I'll show you something good.
Oh I'll show you something good.
If you open your heart
You can make a start
When your crumbling world falls apart.
The miracle of love
Will take away your pain
When the miracle of love
Comes your way again.

Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves
Song by Eurythmics
Now there was a time
When they used to say
That behind every great man
There had to be a great woman
But in these times of change
You know that it's no longer true
So we're comin' out of the kitchen
'Cause there's somethin' we forgot to say to you, we say
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Standin' on their own two feet
And ringin' on their own bells, we say
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Now this is a song
To celebrate
The conscious liberation
Of the female state
Mothers, daughters
And their daughters too
Woman to woman
We're singin' with you
The inferior sex, has
Got a new exterior, yeah
We got doctors
Lawyers, politicians too
Everybody take a look around
Can you see, can you see
Can you see there's a woman
Right next to you, we say
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Standin' on their own two feet
And ringin' on their own bells
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Now we ain't makin' stories
Oh, we ain't layin' plans
Don't you know that a man still loves a woman
And a woman still loves a man
Just the same way
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
There was a time
When they used to say
That behind every great man
There had to be a great woman
But in these times of change
You know that it's no longer true
So we're comin' out of the kitchen
'Cause there's somethin' we forgot to say to you, we say
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Standin' on their own two feet
And ringin' on their own bells
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Sisters are doin' it, doin' it, doin' it
Doin' it, doin' it, doin' it
Sisters are doin' it for themselves, yeah
Sisters are doin' it for themselves, yeah
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
I said, " Hey, hey, sisters are doin' it for themselves"
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
