Ballad of young men


Wake O' wake my dear men, wake from your deep slumbers,
Take up your morning tools, and go straight into the gutters,
Wear your stinky boots, and your torn fedora hats,
The world is a big hamster wheel and you my friends, just rats

Run O' run my dear men, Keep running and don't stop,
Think of it, if you will stop, the earth will die and rot,
So, dig in deep with your poor feet, keep scraping this food bowl,
Render this planet not a better place, but just a 'blue' black hole

Gaze O' gaze my dear men, What came of music and the book,
Can you see, out on the hills them burning by the brook,
But you are now but hollow men, you know not song and wine,
You know how to kill the man and you know how to whine


Wake O' wake my dear men, wake from your deep slumbers,
You have been lying around, just like logs and lumbers,
And burn you will like pieces of wood, in the cool summer air,
Warned are you, don't take a step, into the dragon's lair.

Laugh for once and lick your wounds, we are not fighting wars,
Look back and see the graves,beneath your kitchen floors
Mourn your children if they dead, kiss them if they are not,
Reap your crops, chew them and spit, and clean it with a mop.

Bad fortune

Under the moonlight There you stood Under false pretentions Looking blankly,at my face The slow movements Along the cobbled street I looked in your eyes And was really in love And i cry like some kind of broken toy All the losses,now long gone And i feel like a new born ruler With a golden spoon stuffed in mouth We made a dreamscape Of old songs and words But I did not know How long would it stand I was a loser And you a freebird Caught in an intellectual cage I knew,you would not stay Now the days they pass,like seconds And the paths they never seem to converge All the people now ready to crucify me With bloodlust in their gaze And now i cry like somekind of broken toy Having travelled in some kind of circle And i feel like so far from a paradise In a place i used to call my home

For her

I wish I could be young, Just for a day, I wish I was small And had small fingers i could twirl, In my father's hands. I wish I couldn't walk as fast, As I do nowadays, and I could stop, And see, the wonders and mysteries, Which pass me by every moment. I wish I saw love when I stared into, These million swarming eyes, around me, While all I see these days, Is a reflection of hate, envy and pain I don't want to speak, as words fail me, Like they did, then, and this cruel tongue, Speaks only lies, and no truth, I'd rather cut it off than let it harm anyone. Let me play in sand and mud, Let me eat chalk, let me fall off bicycles, Let me break my tiny bones, and let me lose my teeth, I would still laugh and happily finish my meal. Where is my mother now, I lost her, in my childhood, and I lost my innocence too, I lie in my home, alone and sad, While she dies, and no one cares. If i could be a child again, I would kiss her, And tell her that I loved her, And sit in her lap...

Changes

Dreams of leaving, Lingering echoes of voices All surreal ecstasies wane, Masked by a penchant for healing Our slashed minds,set ablaze deriding the crazy worlds,we left behind Walked through flames ,down to the isle Did we traverse alone, the maze? Eons have now come and gone, Edges have turned to dust, Passing days,slipping,receding to nigh Acrostic mess,what life had become Looking back at the deeds I'd done I only realize, how foolish I had been to have run (For how I had fallen back every time I'd walked There always was a safe home to have, a place I revered)
