Another War


You crane your head
to take it in --
a battlefield
of dying men.

No one will care
when they demise.
No one will see
tears in their eyes.

They died for naught,
and cursed the pain.
Yes, never more,
to fight again.

A stillness, blessed.
A tragic rest.

A Second Look


Looking, again, into my
newly-repurchased
crystal ball,
from the pawn-shop dealer . . .

Russia, has regained its title:
the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

With the support of the
United States' next President,
Russia has obtained its ultimate expansionist goal:
Re-purchase of Alaska.

World domination,
by the USSR,
is now assured.

Empty Space

Empty space, empty space.
We're all floating round in an empty space.
We're all empty, in the empty space
And then all was gone,
Nothing was left, in the empty space.

The call of my friend sounds hollow.
I try to listen very closely
In the empty space.
No cool breeze, in the empty space.
No heavenly music, in the empty space.

Feeling the borders
And feeling the thresholds
In the empty space.
The empty space is devouring me.
I fall into a wide hole.
I plunge into a new world,
Leaving the empty space.

The empty space
The empty space...

The Fall Of The Autumn

It was the fall
Of the autumn,
Escaping into
A big wide hole,
Towards the light.

It was the dirty
End of hatred,
Left behind to kollaps
With the haters.

It was the beginning
Of a whole new era,
Where lightworkers
Had their work back.

It was the fall
Of the autumn,
In the month of
October.

He, Who never sleeps

He, who never stops
Will pour out the rain
In the name of his vain.

Love him, he doesn't know better,
He, who never stops.

He will cut you down.
I swear, he will cut you down.

In the name of his pain,
Love him...

In the name of his pain,
He, who never stops...

She, Who Never Wakes

He, who never sleeps,
The guardian of our sheep,
The prayers that he keeps,
The lost wonder that weeps
In the arms of the unknown lover.

Oh never have they touched,
No more than such,
A breeze in the air,
It marks the end of an era
But never have they touched.

She, who never wakes,
The guardian of lost souls,
The prayers that she keeps,
Into her dreams of happiness
But never have they touched.

Never have they touched.

Turn It To The Left

It's a long road to righteousness.
It's a long road to peace.
It's a long road to understanding,
But I always take my turn left.

It's a long road to friendship.
It's a long road to happiness.
It's a long road, the road itself,
But I always take my turn left.

Right, left is where I go.
To the land of tomorrow.
To the land of today.
Yes, left is where I go,
Turn the following road.

Left is where I go.

Unto Thee I Grant

I was hiding in the sand,
Fingers touched one's soul.
Never were we afar from the sea,
Never were we afar from the sand.

I was looking at the sea,
Through the sand in my eyes.
I saw the picture of you,
Looking like the sandman.

I was hiding in his arms,
My only true sandman.
He showed me the sea,
Skies and lands, all looking grand.

I was a sandman,
Rolling through the sand,
That sticked to me
And gave me different colour.

I was standing on the sand,
Oh where to look, oh where Thee Grant?
In sorrow we must live,
In grace we die.

But there's the sandman,
Looking at his best
And the sand was satisfied
And the sand was happy.

Jack In The Box

Everytime, over and over,
You do things to me.
Are they good?
Are they bad?

No answer has been given thus.

You there, living in the light,
Think of us, here in the darkness.
We find our ways
But we need guidance.

Love us, Lord
We're small, but we're strong.
Make us your army of righteousness.

We, the people, Americans say.
Wij, het volk.

Are we your Jack in the box?
We, the people.
We, the people...

These questions came to mind, after re-reading JohnJoe McFadden's book, "Life is Simple".
The particular subject of interest: Gravity.


Question I


How can the highest pressure
result in the least pressure?
(Expansion of the universe.)

*

Of the universe's components:
Differentiation - Non-differentiation.
Why do the components keep cycling back and forth?

(That results in creation-destruction of universes;
Chance is established.)

What causes a return to non-differentiation?
("Gravity"?)

What is "gravity"?
(I don't know.)

What causes a return to differentiation?
(Thermodynamics?)

(I don't really know this, either;
some inertia is involved, it appears.)

Waiting

Waiting for the day to come.

Waiting for a life to come.

Waiting for the sound of happiness.

Waiting for that day to come.

Waiting, together with you,
Waiting to win, just like you.

Waiting... Waiting...
Winning...Winning...

Waiting for that day to come.

Knowing II

Angels all around me,
Knowing who I am,
Knowing who you are.

They sing to us,
The song from the heart
Of The Universe.

The birds set it free.
The birds let it see.

No more dark energy y y
But what has to be be be

GO AWAY, HIGGS BOSON!

Knowing who I am.
Knowing who you are.

The Angels are all around me.
They tell us the ancient story
Of what used to be be be

The birds set it free.
The birds let it be.

Knowing who I am.
Knowing who you are.

Dark Matter


I wrote some dark lines
that mattered to me --
on paper that used to be . . .
a tree.

A strange result was manifest . . .
The words I wrote
could not be spoke . . .
by ordinary folk.

The subject penned,
was clue for me.
Gaze here, to see . . .
It's gravity!

To scratch one's head . . .

Question II


To stave off global warming,
pandemics,
and increasing costs of fewer resources . . .

How can we improve the quality of life
for fewer people,
without crashing the economic system?

The Sea

Any lover is the sea,
Out of the sea comes the breeze.
The breeze is flowing onto the sea,
The breeze of the sea.
Sea, oh my see!

The sea is with you
And melting her salt
Onto your skin.
Come and see the sea!

Any dancer is the sea.
Out of the sea comes me
And the breeze is flowing onto the sea,
The breeze of you and me.
Sea, oh my see!

The sea is with us,
We dive into it,
Wild and free,
The dive into the sea.
Come and see the sea!

The sea is with me,
A dancer from the sea.
A breeze is flowing onto the sea,
A breeze of the sea.
Sea, oh my see!

Johnny, oh Johnny,
Where have you been tonight?
I've been waiting for you,
Longtime, longtime no see.

Oh Johnny, my sweet Johnny,
Where did you sleep last night?
I've been crying for you,
Longtime, longtime no see.

I've been asking myself,
Oh where is my Johnny,
Where is my Johnny tonight?

Johnny, oh Johnny,
Where have you been tonight?
I've been waiting for you,
Longtime...longtime...
Longtime no see.

Your Grandma's Home

Now, why should I,
Why should I dream?
I see the blue skies,
And remember the raspberry bush
Near to your grandma's home.

I hear the birds sing,
And see the butterflies
In the raspberry bush
Of your grandma's home.

The guitar at a distance,
Leads my eyes with its
Precious tones of God.

I close my eyes
And see you in a dream,
Nearby the raspberry bush
Of your grandma's home.

If you are in need of my car,
Just tell me, and we'll reach
Eachothers eyes.

If you are in need of some gasoline,
I'll be your engine
Nearby the raspberry bush
Of your grandma's home.
