work showing Greg Botosan is not your average in salesman REASON The process of reason is not understood It depends upon sensual response Few there are whoever could Understand its conceptions and wants I for one am not apt to explain More than to myself apply Referring to reason Im sure that its plain The question to start with is why Logic it seems is the answer to bear Conducting the paths to pursue But being logical with reason thats there Brings uncertainty of which is true We may use the one and then the other Betrothed to each other belong From this then we can gather The conditions of right and wrong But this applies to states of such Where right and wrong are found Beyond this point it leaves us much To explore unknown ground Proceed we must with tools at hand That lead to practical use And when this process cannot stand The mind is sure to lose But then again if absolute A word that brings despair Can lead the lesser to the truth We II all have more to share THESE CREATURES Routine I live day by day I pay my bills as as may Respect of place people and things These are the habits my life brings Creatures there are many a kind But none like man youll ever find A bird will make a home anywhere No bills to pay or clothes to wear The bees don need a grocery store And flies don bother to knock on the door A flower inherits a plot of ground No taxes to pay no one to hound No life but man has celebrities To applaud himself in all he sees One thought that lies with him at least That hes better off than any beast ASTRONAUTS COMMUNION Arise alas Go forth to the

unanswerable sight Forwarned of destiny Trespass Unveil the infinite delight God face is seen at last Im sure that now we come so far The questions would fill with gloom This way of life would seem to mar The unreasonable obstructs to doom It not at all the way it looks Theres hope in the sight of unseen We may study the written in books How will one find the serene We start by assumption unreason is real Comparable to fact as untrue I m sure that this a will feel Beyond the extension called you But we cannot hold that alls perceived Reflecting the outward to in It follows acceptance of life is believed And always must have been If we conclude is first With life a conditioned state None other may quench the mind thirst Than introducing a word called faith By reason we say if something is Were sure that it must be Theres only one thing wrong with this It takes us as far as we see I know its said by reason in time Were bound to see everything But time runs out in ones reasoning prime And theres something it cannot bring It the state of still where eternal flows For the living subjected to states The doors are open and whoever goes Its but faith that conveys through the gates THE STRANGER YOU If you feel a love for one You may feel a love for all For its all contained within the you When you see a smiling face Then the warmth of it embrace And shake hands with a stranger

path that he had wore I pleaded to turn me loose But my cries he would ignore How could this man refuse I just couldnt stand anymore My life was sinking low No nourishment to be had Wherever my jailer would go Brought more of this state asked him for a drink Ho filled my glass with brine My life continued to sink As I prayed for light to shine For it was dark in the dungeon there On his face the light did shine One look was all I could bear The face I saw was mine POSSESSIVE When youre born have a name You say Its mine Mother father with family came And you say Its mine Certain school you did attend And you say Its mino To church your parents send All mine all mine Find a sweet loving girl You say shes mine First romance you give a whirl Mine oh mine Comes a time to fall in love This is
