Hello, I just started a video series of audiologs...they are on a playlist entitled: MORE THOUGHTS FROM ME...you don't even have to play the video...just click (more) and read the transcript...enjoy! These videos are on the right side of the screen.
About Me:
 
I'm Tom and I have been writing song lyrics for many years. I share them here and sometimes they get made into songs. Unfortunately, I just found out that James Justice deleted all his videos...that includes over 20 songs made with my words as well as some of his own great originals.

I have lots of interesting playlists here for your enjoyment and watching/viewing/listening pleasure.

All musicians are welcome to use my lyrics provided proper attribution is given to me: Tom Jensen/poemsbytom.
Please let me know through my yahoo email address that you have created a song from my words. I will add it to my playlist of songs made here.

I may go a long time without checking my mail here so if you really want to get ahold of me then you can email me at poemsbytom@yahoo.com - If you take the time to send an email there I will respond for certain. (I learned that from Noam Chomsky)

peace, tom

MEMORABLE QUOTES:

"At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet." - Plato

"I have tried lately to read Shakespeare, and found it so intolerably dull that it nauseated me." - Charles Darwin

"My books are water: those of the great geniuses are wine. Everybody drinks water." - Mark Twain

"It is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or pretended, from abroad." - James Madison

"I am ready to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter." - Winston Churchill

"My country is the world, and my religion is to do good. - Thomas Paine

"Animals can be driven crazy by placing too many in too small a pen. Homo Sapiens is the only animal that voluntarily does this to himself." - Robert Anson Heinlein

"There never was a good war or bad peace." - Benjamin Franklin

"You never need an argument against the use of violence, you need an argument for it." - Noam Chomsky

"In the long history of humankind (and animal kind, too) those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed." - Charles Darwin

"The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently." - Friedrich Nietzsche

"We must rapidly begin the shift from a "thing-oriented" society to a "person-oriented" society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered."- Martin Luther King Jr.

"We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly." - Sam Keen

"The ideals which have lighted me on my way and time after time given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. . . . The ordinary objects of human endeavour -- property, outward success, luxury -- have always seemed to me contemptible." - Albert Einstein

"It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood." - James Madison

"Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear." - Thomas Jefferson

"If the misery of the poor be caused not by the laws of nature, but by our institutions, great is our sin." - Charles Darwin

"If we choose, we can live in a world of comforting illusion." - Noam Chomsky

"The money power preys on the nation in times of peace, and conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces, as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes." - Abraham Lincoln

"Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare." - James Madison

"The intellectual tradition is one of servility to power, and if I didn't betray it I'd be ashamed of myself." - Noam Chomsky

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." - Thomas Jefferson

"The angry can be made happy again, but the dead can not be brought back to life." - Sun Tzu

"All you need is love." - John Lennon

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace." - Jimi Hendrix

"Be excellent to each other" - Bill and Ted
