and: the poetry thread

[Caprice]

robot arms.
robot swings.

rules and regulations.
as a precursor to the informal.
and a hindrance to the social.
it may just be the sanity. the sanity working to keep order.
to keep the world from going to pieces.
because we all need direction......
we all need direction
we all just need direction
we
we
we
fucking direction.

but the life-force says no. battling, scared, un-afraid, un-torn, confused...to what end?

no sense. no baggage. no understanding.

the position of the free

a whiter shade of ivory, yellow, green and blue
beautiful colours in the dark, just for me and you

I´m just a glider on the lighter
Jumping runing
~to the Sun
Not a fighter or a writer
So don´t beat me just beat
~the drum

Fall light, lighter I´m so much brighter
When I see the light
~from the Sun
I´m climbing higher in my glider
I feel so lonely so I
~don´t run

I´m a glider not a writer
My favourite is a
~son of a gun
Not a fighter and so much brighter
But don´t beat him just beat
~the drum

I´m a glider and climbing higher
And still addicted
~to the Sun
See you later alligator
Don´t forget to
~have some fun!

a whiter shade of ivory, yellow, ink and blue
beautiful colours in the dark, just for me and you

your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven as in cyberspace.
Give us today our daily bread and some nice music.
Forgive us our calibre and our bad English
as we forgive those who´s trying to make us dead wrong
Save us from the time of trial
and deliver us from the wicked evil
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours my Love
now and for ever clearer than ever.
AMen.

the presentation of two jobs frustrates me in a subliminal way. yearning to leave away from this monotonous place i drink my coffee and wait for the want to subside. but when it doesn't. and you're lost in a dream, this fantasy dream, where the ideal of the 90's still exists in some parts of America, its hard pill to swallow knowing that we are that much further ahead in destroying our planet, in destroying ourselves.

culture changes
sometimes so fast your soul can't catch up.
it does though

oh, I grown up in a country where religious education was strictly forbidden so I´m still trying to catch up with it.
There are so many Gods and so little leisure time.
But today I was reading about Amaterasu, Kannon and The four Dragon Kings (the divine rulers of the four seas) who live in crystal palaces, guarded by shrimp soldiers and crab generals. Amazing!

Five-year-old - God, why does everybody call you God?
God - Because I have no name

Five-year-old - God, I tried to walk on water like you
God - Came off well?
Five-year-old - No, but I learned to swim

The Oak and the Birch - God, why do we have to change our foliage all the time?
God - Because I want to hear you speak
The Oak and the Birch - But we can´t speak
God - That´s why I need a lots of people

Little things please little minds

Wanna touch it?
