Nero Trump

 Nero Trump

Delusional, almost insane

Nero Trump sings and claims

”I am right, the Universe is wrong”

The new great Rome in flames

Pandemics and epidemics

Harvesting suffering and death

While Nero Trump

Play golf and say

”Sing my song

Or I will kill you away”

 

Nero Trump screams

”Burn USA”

Creating tensions

Disruptions

To back up his claims

Excuses to bring home troops

Gather fanatics for a cup

An unfair fight

Like November 1938

Nero Trump risks

An American Cristal Night

 

Nero Trump does not care

If he wins or not

He will set

All ablaze

While he golf plays

”Burn the USA”

Is his vision of a great America again

 

Attention!

The people is awake

And say NO!

Voting in their own right

Nero Trump is wrong

USA is alive

With friends

Home and abroad 

Standing by the people’s side

Against Nero Trump

The pretending dictator

The people has the right

To pursue happiness

Together they will make

The USA

As it has always been

The beacon of freedom

And life.

7 Bullets

 7 Bullets

Walking to a better life

Job and home

Family and friends

Who like who you are

You see, in your face and your heart

Injustice in the streets

And what you get,

Seven bullets in your back

 

There is race war

We all want it to stop

Give peace and respect and love

To everyone

No matter who they are

And what you get,

Seven bullets in your back

 

Overriches burning down the Earth

Cutting tres

Killing birds

Plasting the oceans

You protest

And what you get,

Seven bullets in your back

 

You look around

And see

A crazy clown

Pretending presidential to be

An evil ”cop” gives you the bad eye

And angrily gives the word 

”What you are looking at?”

Watch out or you will get,

Seven bullets in your back

 

You really do not like to fight

But

Want children to be free

Have whatever life

They want to have

A future with no racism

A well deserved peace 

But

This is what you get

Seven bullets in your back!

The 11th Commandment – Thou Shalt Let Them Breathe

The 11th Commandment – Thou Shalt Let Them Breathe
The Sacred Books
If well read
Show the way
Erase the darkness that was
Confront the darkness that is

Thou shalt not kill
It is written
Wise guideline
True commandment
To which
We should add
Thou shalt let them breathe

If they do not
Leaders should
Call on them to take responsibility
And pay their dues
Here and in the hereafter
For leaders should
Bring peace,
Harmony and unity

To these leaders
Must we all say
”Unify your nation
And show a light
Of hope to the world
If you can not be a good leader
It is time
You let them breathe
It is time
For you to go.”

A Song for Gaia

A Song for Gaia
What do you think
It would happen?
Acting surprised
With diseases and bad weather
Shades of apocalyptic times
As you were a victim
Nothing to blame.

You have driven this planet
Once beautiful and blue
Two steps near hell
A planet you have ravaged
Damaged
Seas hurt
Forests destroyed
Animals extinguished
As for your actions
The planet is sick
The skies are grey
Diseased.

Beware
Gaia is alive
If you do not respect Mother Earth
Her immune system can, and will, react
Treating you as the plague
To be contained
To be forced to understand:
There are no ways
If you are to live
In and with
The future of this
Planet’s life
No way
But Harmony

Otherwise
Pandemics and storms
Will rage upon you
Until you find
The ways of respect
For Gaia is you
For Gaia is us
To treasure
To protect
Gaia is our happiness
Our life.

Pathways

Pathways

A Poem for Katerina Kovanji

The greatness of the great

Find an inspiring harmony

In the singer from near and far

Piano and other strings perfect

Where even cold songs

Make our hearts warm

As the love for art

Flows

Like steps in the clouds

Making children dance

To Algiers, to Carmen

To sounds

Transforming red roses

Into blue

Experiences of the ever

Forever

Eternal

Expressions of her eyes

Reflected by

The instrument maximus of all

A voice born in the skies.

Drums

Drums

A poem for Blanca Agudo

Somewhere

Riding the waves

Of sound and time

Created by drums of before 

Alive today

As masterly hands

Dream unities 

Between

Imaginary images

And a reality 

That is for ever 

To be

Waves and vibrations 

For the eyes

Of the soul to see

Dance and dance

Sing and sing

Refine the songs

Never lost from the past

Keeping them alive

As we sail

To the harmony of life

The Sword of Life

The Sword of Life

A poem for Moa Malan

And She said :

You may come

See my eyes

The loves I carry

The non-loves I left behind

This is where I draw the line

Come closer

And come again

Look into my soul

Do not be deceived

By my tears,

By my smiles,

The true me you will find

As my hand grasps

The Sword of Life

Standing

Not a moment of doubt

I will be beside you

From here until the end of times
