Building a Nation



It takes a thousand years to build
And a thousand years to ruin
But do thousand years make a guild
Of unwavering prosperous boon?

It takes courageous will to build
And despotic ill to ruin
In which thousand years we are living in
and with whom are we in tune?


tigers or baboons?

Storm


Crushed by news, and the constant blues

relentless abuse in this eternal cruise


looking for a higher grounds

as the Noah’s storm gathers strength

oh thou youngsters plow the soil

bring the hatred seeds to plant

pray for rain in this endless heat

crush the skulls, don’t retreat


looking for higher grounds

squandering nemesis sounds so sweet

oh thy martyrs are all just dead

and death

is our perpetual untiring foe

plant the seeds

plant the seeds


no more victory signs

no more flowers

no more jokes

eat the bullet you daunting priest


Crushed by news, changing views

Demeaning treatment of intelligent souls

dangling and dancing on the noose

looking for higher grounds

as the fuming bikers wave their clubs

in the stench of the sea of blood

as the storm clouds only bring in dust

oh for heaven’s sake, -----just get lost------

just leave this forsaken land in peace

and I tell my children what one needs

plant the seeds

plant the seeds

The Golden Girl is Coming to Our Mad Tea Party

The Golden Girl is Coming to Our Mad Tea Party is a song based on 13/8th rythm. The concept is a bit complicated and is a mixture of the "Tea Party" story at White House and my own imagintion regarding the current events in the world.
