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

To the Stars

To the Stars

How many years

Are left 

In a lifetime?

The second and the minutes

Raining from the stars

Drops of happiness

Extending our experiences

Into waves of energy

From here to nowhere

And from there to elsewhere

Days that we lived

The ones left behind

From where we came 

That is where we go

As we find our way

To the stars below

To the stars above

Half Life and the Sands of Mars

Half Life, 66, and the Sands of Mars

Half life of mine

Estimated genetic active existence

66 is the number

132 it shall be, or more

If environment, experiences

Incidents, accidents

Which have makes me

What I am right now

Do not cut it shorter 

From all the years

Of living that are to be.

Much I have, so far,

Lived and seen

From flowers and tears of love

To blood and tears of war

My time has enjoyed 

The greatest human adventures of all

More than Da Gama, Cabral, Vespucci and Zheng He

Could ever foreseen

As they faced the great oceans of Earth.

We have become 

Space navigators

Achieving the greatness 

Of permanent existence in the skies

I want also to travel that far and beyond

Bathing in different shores

Under new Suns

And new views of our Sun.

When my time, and it will one day,

Passes into a permanent night,

Bury me in the sands of Mars

For visitors from afar

To wonder about

Who we were

What we have done

And where we are.

Eyes of Fire - Poem for Agnes Hustler

Eyes of Fire

A Poem for Agnes Hustler and her music

Voices and sounds

Showing a path

Through the shadows of fading lights

With fire swords

Coming from her skies

A beautiful angel

Always pounding at doors

Still closed

Soon she will break them apart

She fights

Falling sometimes

Always standing up

Not hiding tears

Nor screams in the night

Beware of her angry feelings

Fire swords

From her piercing eyes

Transforming

Yours, our lives

Our pains

The tears inside

She stands up, always,

And fights

For the love she has

For our hearts.

Steps - A Poem for Parents

Steps - A poem for parents

Steps in the dark
Sounding light
Searching for
A moment of smiles
To last the night

Steps in the dark
Approaching quietly
Just to find
A loving embrace
Making safe the night

Steps in the dark
Coming dearly
Towards my heart
She is really
The meaning of life

The Existing Lines

The Existing Lines
Here I am
Waiting beyond
Existing lines
Where you can not see me
Only those
With a good heart can find

Here I am
Waiting beyond
Existing lines
Ready to return
And so I will
If ever evil strikes

Here I am
Knowing and learning from beyond
These are my lines
War dogs shall not pass
If they arrive
I will send them back

Here I am
From where I can see
The bright, good, future
Possible
For you, for me
For all of we

Dream Forest, Forest of Dreams

Dream Forest, Forest of Dreams
A poem for Kreativa Jenny Järvholm

A week of Moon Sun eclipses
Pleiades rain
Lady bugs
In a day, in a night
Of endless hours
From end to start
Shine so much more
In the eyes
In the smiles
Of this Child of mine

Every little piece
Every little line
Blue, red, rainbow colors
Beyond the forest lights
Constructions to be made
Never found before
Once they arise
They inspire
Bringing sunshine and stars
To the eyes
To the smiles
Of this Child of mine
©️Regis Cabral 14 August 2018

Planet of Mine

Planet of Mine
Planet
Planet of mine
Heat waves
Rain waves
Sand waves
Racist waves
Poison waves
Smelting life
Disappearing, changing
Into ways
Forms and shapes
We do not fit in
Is it time
Time and time
For a new Noah’s ark?
All of these
And so much wrong more
Are the effects
Of arrogant steps
Of thoughts out of phase
With the waves of space time
Planet
Planet of mine
Will you recover?
But watch out
Evil ones
For the planet of mine
Will no longer be
Home
For destructive sinful minds
©️ Regis Cabral 5 August 2018

Silver Road - Silvervägen

Silver Road
Inspired by Stina Jackson’s Silvervägen
Road rides
From here to Norway
From the start to the end of ways
And back
Searching for a heart
Gone with a child’s life
Sorrows for what can not be undone
New persons, old friends
The disappeared reappear
In words, shapes and sounds
Where are they
But somewhere in roads
In lines, clues and threads
Outsiders looking into
The high inside ways
Not finding the way out
Of their lonely lost self
Clues in themselves
As the road travelers
Search for lost ones
Just to find
That loneliness is also a road
Safer travelled alone
Waiting for the disappeared to return
In the minds
In the silver road
As they struggle to solve
What otherwise is
The mystery of their lives
©️Regis Cabral, 20 July 2018

Reflections of Life

Reflections of Life

Mirrors
Mirrors
Mirrors of life
Reflecting surfaces
All the mirrors
Side by side
Reflecting
Reflections
Lives going into life
Reflections never gone by
Staying in eternal whiles
Our lives, new life
Of the days turned into days and nights
As the mirrors reflect
The reflections of our future
Of you and I

©️ Regis Cabral, 07 July 2018, Luleå, Sweden

Light Ray

Light Ray

Listening to the signs of change

While the thunderstorm rages

I see a light ray

Showing the road

Whispering the way

In the faces I see

Despair changes into hope

As the drops of rain

Wash away

The fears and the tears

The waves and the tides turn

The forces of darkness away run

The light ray

Shows the road

Shows the way

Everywhere there is much to gain

Tears transform

Into a new hope

A new day

Announcing the victory

Of the light ray.

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
