Half Moon

Half Moon
A Moon
Sings to the Stars
”Are you bright  enough
To give me another Sun?
Humanity may take a wrong turn
And no Sun light
As we know
May be strong enough
To undo
The wrongdoings
In the little time
Left behind
By the Ethernal Time
As She consider
How to say good bye”

A Moon
Sings to the Stars
”Are you bright enough
To give humaniity a sign
So that
No turns will be taken,
Taking human beigns
In the roads of destruction
Already travelled
Roads of waste land and darkness”

A Moon
Sings to the Stars
”So let your light
Shine like candels
In Angels eyes”

So the Moon spoke
Hoping for light and life

Prayers and Thoughts

Prayers and Thoughts
Pray for the Churches
For the people and the dancers
Who sing here and beyond
Pray for action
To change the future
Near and far
Words only
Take nowhere
Just to fears and tears
Do something
Before the Sun fails and falls
Do something
Before the Nation sinks
Into dark, uncertain, seas
So, and now
Care and act
Otherwise history
If it is to remember you at all
Will see you
As the failed caretaker
Who escapes to the East
As the Country
Weeps and bleeds
Waiting for others
To take action
Praised they will be
For all the ages to come

Manchester

Manchester

Your darkness and hate
Try to come upon us
To steal the light
To take away
Our dreams
Our beautiful stars

We respond
Stand our ground
Transform tears of pain
Into smiles of hope
Into the resolve of life

Against your acts of bloody sin
We shall play our guitars
Against your backward steps
We shall dance and sing
We will love deep and wide

The future will remember
The songs of our lives
Our love for men- and womenkind
Bringing back the light
As we play our flutes, our strings
And we shall dance and sing
Dance and sing
