SONGS OF SAUDADE
SAUDADE
There will always be
An Ocean between us,
Separating our memories
From the touch of our lips.
There will always be
Eyes upon us,
Empty beds, lonely hearts.
I left my land behind me,
But I brought the city within.
My Luso soul will always sing,
Always sing the pain
And the saudade.
I will always have
You within me,
And I will always hear
The sound of the Moor Guitar.
My home is the road,
As diverse as my multiple
Personalities.
My God is the One without
A face, without a name.
My name is unknown.
They only know my pain.
They only know
What I want to tell them,
And I hid most of my story,
I sealed most of the chapters
Of my Book.
My days are lonely nights,
And my nights are haunted
By ghosts.
I have no one.
They all left me.
I scared them all.
I only have the
And my language and my words.
I also have my fear,
The fear of ending up alone
In an empty room
Haunted by my memories
And self-brought misery.
I dream of holding my friends,
If only I could tell them
How I miss them.
It’s
only saudade, only
saudade.
The voices I knew
I can’t
even recognize.
I’m frozen between ignorance
And remorse.
Nights are so lonely, so dark,
Days are so long, so empty.
They are not here.
You are not here.
The more I run,
The furthest you are.
The funniest thing is
That I
want to be alone.
I want to be here,
Waiting for the time
When you will arrive.
I am so tired, so tired.
I think it’s saudade.
It is saudade...
PICTURE FRAME
I don’t want
to die as Procne did.
I don’t want to cry tears of shame.
I want to see the world with both my eyes,
And explore the profundities of passion.
I don’t want
to be afraid of being alone,
I don’t want to be ashamed of the truth I know,
If I can say that I know any truth at all.
I’m tired of procrastinating the day of my liberation.
I want to see the colors of the city lights
And live in my prodigal state
of mind,
Disturbing all those around me
That are not able to understand my intentional ambiguity.
I want to die. I want to die in peace when my time comes.
A house in a valley surrounded by mountains
And no one to cry for me.
I want to bring joy to the ones around me,
And at least once, fit my world inside a picture frame.
How glad I’d be if I could see my mother once more
And tell her all those things I’ve always wanted to.
I’d be more than happy if I could close my eyes
And not see the scary ghosts from the past
That insist in this stupid game of fear and pain.
Sometimes I see this picture of myself
Falling with Andrew from that tenth floor,
Putting my body before his so he wouldn’t hit the ground.
I don’t need the titles they gave me.
I don’t need the fancy fake
world of glory they seek.
I want to believe in God again.
I want that simple, naive faith I once knew.
I want to call the old friends I hurt
And tell them how sorry I am for those
Terrible things I’ve said and done.
But it’s not easy, it’s not
easy.
I don’t
know what happened to me,
Where that little boy is playing hide and seek
With himself,
Inside a temple filled with the incense
Of lonely and desperate sacred chants.
I want to hear God say it wasn’t my fault
And tell me I’m not alone.
I want to make music again
And play the violin I abandoned long ago.
I want some privacy, without those questions they always ask,
I want my name at birth back.
I want to find Kelly and tell her I’ll keep my promise.
I want to tell my dad I still love him
Regardless of all the pain he
caused me.
I want to write my former students
And tell them they brought me back to life.
Somehow they made me look at that old picture frame
I kept for so many years inside my mind.
THE NAME
The voices of the
desert
Sound like the
voice of the Creator.
And the wind, the
warm wind,
Blows everything
away,
Breaking the scepters
of the powerful,
Carrying
masks of lies far away.
Nights are lonely,
And happiness is
just a rare visitor.
Your eyes are all I
have,
Your mystery is my
only truth,
The only one I
know.
This desert is my
road,
And its immensity
is my destiny.
May the Lord of the
Days
Guide me through
the land of the jinns,
And may the memory
of you
Always wake me in
the morning.
I hear the voices.
They sing to me the
words of Gibran.
But my land is only
a memory,
A vivid memory of
what it was.
God is a name.
Hashem, Allah, Deus.
He sees me. He sees
everything.
There’s no hiding
place in this desert.
The wind blows,
And it takes my
words up above.
The sounds of the
desert surround me.
His eyes are all I
have.
His mystery is the
only truth I know.
The memory of His
name
Wakes
me in the morning.
He is a name.
Hashem. Allah. Deus.
WINTER
Snow flakes falling
down from above,
And the cold wind blowing,
The dark winter afternoon of this city
Makes me cry, it makes me cry.
I love to walk on these streets,
I love to touch the snow.
It makes me feel like a child again.
But I’m
not a child, I’m not a
child.
I’m a grown man, and life is so complicated.
Nothing is as easy as it used to be.
I had no idea it was going to be like this.
It’s cold outside, it’s really cold.
The streets are covered with the white snow.
It’s only four and it’s so dark,
it’s
really dark.
But I love the cold, I love this freezing weather.
We all are looking for something,
Everything is not enough.
We want to touch the sky and fly away.
I’ve always wanted to fly away from here.
But there has been so many heres
And none
of them so cold as this one.
The more I try to turn the page over,
The more I read the same chapter
Over and over again.
I just want to stay alive.
A page of The Sun to warm me up.
I'M
NOT A MAN
Once upon a time,
I was a boy.
A
shy, silent boy.
A boy who was
Afraid
of the dark.
A boy who had
No friends,
And no foes of my
Own.
I thought I'd be
A
man.
I'm not a man.
I am twenty-five.
I never kissed,
I've never been
Kissed.
I never had sex.
The voices
And the sounds,
They excite me.
They make me
Feel alive.
I have my taboos.
I have my fears.
I'm not a man.
I'm a closeted
queer.
I abandoned my
mission.
I hurt my friends.
I'm not a man.
I'm not a man.
I enjoy Sade Adu's songs.
I cried when
Princess Diana
died.
I dance when
There's no one
Around.
I masturbate my
mind
To
sound cool.
I'm a social
democrat.
I'm not a man.
I think I'm ugly.
And I think
Every one is
stupid.
I'm not a man.
I have a love-hate
Relationship
with G-d.
I'm not a man.
I haven't seen
My family
For
half a decade.
I'm not a man.
I sold myself
For
money.
But I'm usually
Full
of compassion.
I like exploring
Different cultures
And
seeing different lands.
I enjoy Bossa Nova,
Tarab,
Jazz
And
Fado.
I speak so many languages
That I get confused
Sometimes.
I'm not a man.
I look at the sky
at night
And cry.
I cry all the time,
For
anything.
I never say
“I love you”.
I'm not a man.
OUT
OF WATER
I'm everyone
Who can't sleep
At night
With suicidal
thoughts
On the head
Trying to believe
In the one thousand
Years of Peace
That would
Eventually come
I'm everyone
Who hears voices
From the past
Revealing dark
secrets
And those
Who can't look
At their own shame
I'm the desperate
one
The one who lost
All the battles
And who's afraid
Of losing the war
I'm the fish out of
water
The one who's
Dreaming his life
away
Refusing all the
opportunities
To reconcile
This is a violent
time
With no place to
hide
I can't hide
anymore
I've got to pay the
price
ABOUT LOVE
I don’t want to
sing about love.
Love is a lost step,
Is a cold ray of light,
Is the green claw of the senses.
Love is a running horse
With wings of iron and lead
Fallen in deep waters.
I don’t want
to sing about love.
Love is a forbidden paradise,
Satisfactorily unfair,
A happy adversity.
Love is a lost step,
It is insanity of the eyes,
A happy feast for the tears.
Love is an obedient
rage,
It is a cold ray of light
That brings bad luck
To the men of sound minds.
Love has in its prodigious hands
The green claws of senses.
I don’t
want to sing about love
Nor speak of its reasons.
PIMLICO
I no longer see castles,
No longer I see those castles of old.
I no longer see bridges,
Like the ones I used to cross in
But that ancient melody
Reminds me I'm still alive.
I still cry. I cry still.
I still dream. I dream every night.
And in my dreams
I walk down the old
And cross the bridges
I used to cross before.
My life is different now
But I am the same.
I am the same.
The same guy I used to be.
REDEMPTION
Redemption is a
divine gift.
And I’m
waiting for mine.
He is not here,
Not where I am.
I can’t hear His voice
Amongst all the voices in my head.
My mouth is dry,
And my eyes are red.
He promised he’d never
Leave me.
He didn’t say the truth.
No one ever says the truth.
The ghosts are back
To haunt me.
They came back from
Their graves to find me.
Their voices echo
In the back of my head.
It’s my karma. My karma.
I’ve changed my name,
I even tried to change my face,
But they’ll find me,
They always find me.
Somewhere in the middle of the road,
I lost myself.
I lost myself in the face of life,
Before a great multitude.
I hid my cross in one of my drawers
And decided to take something
Else on.
Divine redemption is what
I’m
waiting for.
Something lighter, something real.
My face on the front pages,
Never again, never again.
Give me a minute
Before I get lost
In a pile of meaningless words.
This is a beautiful world,
The one I live in.
Here I have no peace of mind,
Living as a fugitive,
No one is free, no one is free.
But I’m
the only one
Who sees. The only one.
And these voices,
Keeping me awake
In the middle of the night.
He left me. He didn’t keep His word.
I hope the ghosts can’t touch me.
I hope they’ll
leave me alone.
Till redemption comes.
19
Do angels deserve
to die?
Have you thought of suicide?
We may have a long time ahead...
Analyze me, grant
me amnesty,
I may not be a man of letters
But I stand for what I believe.
And I believe I
deserve to be free,
I deserve to have a moment of peace,
I deserve to cry alone right here, right now.
DARK
ROOM
I watch the Sun in
the sky
And
the people on Earth.
I feel the pain
And
the pleasure.
And I fear, and I
cry,
And I scream for
something,
For someone who can
help me.
I hear the sound of
voices,
And
music, and noise.
I know I'm not
alone here.
But it feels like I
am.
It feels like I'm
by myself,
Hiding underneath
my sheets
In
my dark room of illusions.
DOOMSDAY
I saw the thrones
on which they are seated
It is said they will reign for a thousand years
I saw the souls of those who have been killed
Some has worshiped the beast and has received his mark
Others came to life and now reign with the Lamb
Blessed are those who have part in the government
‘Cause the beast has been released from his prison
And has gone out to deceive the nations
To gather them for battle
They marched across the earth and surrounded
the country we love
But fire came down from the skies and destroyed them
Others were thrown into the lake of fire and sulphur
and aliens came to eat the flesh of all people
Happy are those who from now on
Die in the service of our Nation
Flashes of lightning, rumblings, peal of thunder,
A terrible earthquake
The cities of all countries were destroyed
The whole world collapsed
The peoples of the earth, every race, tribe
Language and nation have fallen!
The water became like the blood of a dead person
And every living creature in the sea died
Who will not fear the beast or will refuse
To declare his greatness?
He made all the nations drink his wine
And now there’s no rest for those
who have worshiped him
Earth and sky flee from his presence
And there’s no place for them
If anyone’s name isn’t found written
In the records, he is thrown into that lake of fire.
EGO
I am a visionary.
I am a blind man
searching for the sunlight.
I am the repressed
child who's afraid of the dark.
I am the pilgrim
without a place to call my own.
I am the desperate
soul in search of healing.
I am the liar
hiding behind a fancy mask.
I am the rootless
tree.
I am the sinner
without a god.
I am the man who
lost his hope.
I am nothing.
I am everyone.
Eretz of Mine
I’ve got a picture
on my mind:
The memories of a war
I didn’t ask to fight.
I ran away from that,
I ran away to the place
I had come from.
I didn’t want to kill,
Didn’t want to drive
My neighbors out
Of the only land they’ve ever known.
Do you know you made me cry?
City of the Great King,
Do you know you made me die?
I’ve got these pictures in my head,
Refugee camps, occupied territories,
Dead bodies on the dusty floor.
Fifty thousand tears I cried,
Tears of terror, tears of fear.
I was defeated by your arrogance.
I love you, Eretz Yisrael.
I love you, Yerushalaim.
You woke me up inside.
You turned me into this warrior
Who doesn’t want to stop fighting you.
You hate me for loving your enemies,
But I hope my love affair with your foes
Is not a temporary one.
Because in my heart I have
Enough space for both of you.
It is Good
Don’t let your
faith die,
Don’t stop
believing everything’s good.
Just like God on
the first morning of creation
Saw everything was
good,
You will see, you
will see.
Just open your
eyes.
Every road takes us
somewhere,
And everything has
a source for being.
And all this
violence is the cause
Of silence inside
our heads,
Inside
our heads.
But still
everything is good.
I spent half my
life
Roaming through a
wilderness of sorrow,
Trying to
understand what I saw.
And now I recognize
Everything is good.
Now I see everything
is good.
GOODBYE
Goodbye
I bid you farewell.
This is the last time I see your walls.
This is the last time I have these chains on me.
Goodbye
I'm going out to see better days,
I'm coming out to myself.
It's time for me to free my mind.
Goodbye
I'm leading my life away.
I'm going to soak up the sun,
I'm going to welcome freedom again.
Goodbye
Goodbye to that old life of mine.
Goodbye to those painful days I used to know,
Goodbye to those miserable feelings you used to give me.
Goodbye Zion,
I've got the whole wide world in my hands,
I've got hope in my eyes and a song in my heart.
I've got a brand new life to explore.
Goodbye
I bid you farewell.
JUNE
IN
June in
Rain falls on me
Washing me away.
I’m still scared,
Don’t know what to do.
I miss the time
I was spotless
When I wasn’t guilty.
I miss the freedom
I used to know.
I cry,
‘Cause it’s the only
Way to survive.
Many things, many people,
So many tears.
I live in a cemetery
Where all of my dreams
Lie beneath my feet.
I am a zombie,
Without a soul of my own.
I’m blind - I can’t see myself.
I don’t think life is going
To happen anymore.
It’s June
And it’s raining outside.
I promised but I lied,
Maybe it’s just my imagination.
Or I’m wasting my time,
‘Cause it’s June in
G-D'S
LAUGHING AT US
G-d is sitting
On the top of the
Laughing
at us all.
We stupid puppets
Of our own
fashions,
Drinking the blood
Of our children
In cups made of
gold.
Following holy
prophets
And
their sacred words.
Addicted to
The heroins of
The
Western Civilization.
Hear, hear the
voice
Of the dead
soldier's mother
Crying for her
nineteen year-old
Son.
Hear my voice,
And hear my words
of anger.
I hope you remember
You destroyed my
life,
And everything I
believed in.
G-d is laughing at
you,
She is laughing at
me too.
People are dying
everywhere,
We are killing for
the free market.
How many more of us
Will be infected
By this sick
paranoia
Of white-and-red-stripes
Freedom
Created in the
studios
Of
Deep down we know
Death is the price
to pay
For
our self-instilled ignorance.
No one will
survive.
G-d is sitting on
the
Top of the
Watching this
reality show,
She is laughing at
us all.
LETTER
TO UNCLE GEORGE
Hey Uncle George,
The
Prince of War.
The world is safer
today,
Thanks to you.
You wrote our
future
With your ambitions
and dreams,
Leading us to
destruction
And
death.
Hey Uncle George,
Thanks for killing
My enemies,
And
leaving me jobless.
Now they all hate
us,
They hate us all.
Thanks to you,
Uncle George.
I know you received
A revelation,
You saw G-d
In a burning bush
Over
an oil field.
And we had to
Pay the price.
Uncle George,
You will always
Be remembered,
Always
and forever.
And your G-d
Will award you
With a crown of
gold
And diamonds,
And
Exaltation.
Your White Straight
Almighty
Will await you
At the gates
Of
His Kingdom.
I know there's
Much more to come,
But I won't
Try to hide
From the only truth
I know.
Your axis of lies,
The democracy of
manipulation
Written with the
colors
Of deception and
fear,
Made me learn
In whom
I can put my trust.
The world is
brighter
Today.
Thanks to you,
Uncle George.
You saved us all.
NEGATIVES
I lost my innocence
On the streets
Of
I lost my soul
In
a Church in
I gave up writing
When they called me
A
liar.
Some say I'll go
To
Hell.
Some say
My time is over.
I say I'm still
alive.
That's a sign,
Isn't it?
I like my solitude.
I enjoy my
Narcissistic
existence.
There's always
this,
And this is
everlasting.
I know. I know it
is.
NOSTALGIA
Eyes all around me,
Voices
echoing in my head.
You don't know
How I live:
Images of you,
Memories of the
past,
Everlasting
nostalgia.
I don't live,
That's the truth.
This reality ain't true.
I wish I had faith
To fight the ghosts
I face every hour.
But every night
Is only me,
Walking through
The dark lonely
streets
Of
my existence.
Can anybody turn
the
Lights on
Before I panic?
Or will I live like
this
Till
the end of time?
Why did you have to
leave?
I can't deal with
These memories of
you
Roaming
through my mind.
OUT
OF PLACE
I feel so out of
place
In this world governed
By rules I didn't make.
Feel so lonely at times
When I have no one
To talk to.
I know I disturb the universe,
I know I disturb you too.
But my silent words
Are my only weapon,
And I pull the trigger
Whenever I feel threatened.
The president is a murderer
And he wants me to believe
God is a murderer too.
I just don't want to become
A murderer myself.
I lost my faith in Religion,
I lost my faith in Politics.
I just haven't lost
My faith in you.
I hope one day
We may hold hands in public
Not being afraid of any
Moral consequences,
Because I want to love
And I want the whole world
To know that I love you
And that you love me too.
I just want to live,
Live my dreams,
Live my life.
I want to be myself,
I can not hide the way
I feel inside anymore.
OUTSIDE
THE
I tried to kill the
shame,
But only brought more.
When I wanted you to know me,
I put on a mask of lies.
I abandoned my faith
And ran away from my God,
Now I'm crying, bleeding, dying.
I'm blinded by tears.
I don't believe, I don't believe,
I don't believe anymore.
Please, God, help me.
Please, help me see.
For I'm afraid of the dark
And there's no light out here,
Outside the
I've reached the bottom,
My soul sleeps
The sleep of death.
It's like a suicide,
But there's no one around
To delve into my mind.
Now I'm crying, I'm screaming,
And you won't hear me.
Please, God, give me some time.
I need to reach those walls again.
Please, save me.
Save me from the person I've become.
Please, make me whole again.
Now I'm crying,
I'm screaming,
I'm bleeding.
I'm here outside the
So tired and blind,
Where I lay dying,
Holding my last breath.
THE
REVOLUTION
Tell your children to reject
violence,
Tell them a nation is not saved
By her mighty army,
She is not saved by her great strength.
Tell them to trust in God and do good,
That they may have peace and security.
Tell them to seek justice and rescue the oppressed,
To defend the orphan and plead for the widow.
Tell your children there’s no need for holy wars,
No need to believe in a vengeful, scorekeeping god.
God’s only sword is meant to
slay the hatred,
Bitterness, and resentment in the hearts of humankind.
Tell them the only war to be fought is a nonviolent revolution,
A revolution against hypocrisy and self-righteousness,
Against the power and greed of global robber barons,
Against the marginalization of other human beings,
And against the apathy of the people.
It is a revolution against the legalism of the religious authorities,
The guilt and hopelessness of the common people,
And the general misconception by both of the nature of God.
Tell your children to promote the
cause
Of the poor and the outcast.
Tell them to defend the alienated and the
Victims of discrimination.
Teach your children that is the only
War God wants us to fight.
SCENES
I know.
Nothing happened.
Nothing happened.
Life is a sequence
of dark scenes.
No one ever knows.
No one knows
anything.
The road will lead
us
To
the finish line.
I know, I know.
Feeling
are so confusing.
And our fears
Tend to make us
hide.
I know, I know.
It’s late.
And it’s already
dark.
But no one knows.
No one knows
anything.
Distance is what
Separates
us now.
The future is now,
And no one will
ever know
Any of the reasons,
Any
day, any time.
We invented
everything,
And we thought
they’d be
Under
control.
But now I know,
Now I know.
We don’t know
anything.
Tomorrow is today.
When no secrets are
Brought
to light.
Time is dimension,
That little thing
We invented,
But we can’t
control.
SEMITOXIC
I’m loath to be who
you want me to be
Because my black tangled heart is in tatters.
Tantalizing words won’t derail me again.
I just need a chance to ignore what I’ve learnt,
‘Cause your love is just a soon forgotten fable
And I’m not a spineless or a victim without a gun.
Each time you make
me cry my anger grows
And my mind traipses on a semitoxic
road.
I live in a cemetery where souls cry for help
But they don’t let their pain show.
You’re determined to find my place of hiding,
While the time has come for bitter things.
I need a magic substance to save me from this,
To spread my wings and fly away like an eagle
‘Cause I’m not a spineless or a victim without a gun.
SO WRONG, SO LOUD
A train back to the
place I came from,
Another photograph before I leave.
My voice is aching, I’m tongue tired.
I have their handprints all
over my body,
Tonight I sold myself for a very low price.
Everyday I pray and
I cry out loud.
Christ, I wish I could be free from this.
I can’t
recognize the face reflected in the mirror.
The sounds I make are so uninspired.
I should have stayed at home
tonight.
I like the euphoric
applause.
Entertaining it has become my obsession.
Here on the stage life is magical, never ending,
A sequence of songs always played so wrong
And the crowd of unknown faces screaming so loud.
Empty dreams of
success and illusions of fame,
Not even for a minute thinking about
The tears of shame I shed.
A soggy pillow in a solitary cage,
And songs always played so loud, so wrong.
THE
LAND
I live there, there
I live:
The land of dreams,
The
home of the confused.
The eyes of the
warmongers
Are
always open.
They want me to see
What they see.
They want me to be
afraid.
This is their land.
The
land of the system-feeders.
The
land of the peace haters.
War is in
everything we love.
It’s the very core
of our lives.
God loves us and He
hates the rest.
This is the
Promised Land,
Where money and
fame flows
From
the veins of the oppressed.
He gives us the
strength
We need to conquer
the world.
He gives us the
right to be Powerful.
This is where I
live,
The land of
nothingness,
The
home of self-righteousness.
God is Great,
that’s the truth,
He won’t be
enslaved
By
the truth of this land.
TIME
FOREVER
Every day is like
yesterday.
I haven't got any
convictions,
I haven't done any mistakes.
My secrets are kept
in a safe,
Because
I've broken all the rules.
They all hate me,
They don't trust me
at all.
I don't regret,
I don't look back.
I just hide from
the light.
I remain silent in
the dark.
These are my
dreams,
And these are my eyes.
I pray to the Power
That
made me come down here.
And I hide from the
light,
I run away from my
fate.
Is there a answer
To all the
questions
We keep within
ourselves?
Am I all mankind
With
my pessimistic taste?
Some dreams I dream
alone,
I thank Christ I'm
coming home
To
my inner solitude.
I'm happy where I
am,
With
no voice to bother me.
Nothing to swallow
My precious time
But these things
In the back of my
mind,
Where
time lasts forever.
TOO LATE?
Is it too late
To
change the course of things?
Is it too late
To tell you the
words I long to?
I wash my hands and
my fingers,
Performing
the right ritual.
Thunder and rain,
Mystery
and pain.
I think I'm alone
again.
The words we said
to each other,
The way we fell
from the edge.
Now I'm free as I
should be.
All that remains
Is
the shame.
The
crude shame of despair.
Moving
to unknown territories.
Facing
the crowd once more.
No one ever really
knew me,
No one ever will.
This I know for
sure.
Is it too late
To
make a change?
Is it too late
To be saved from
this anguish?
TRIANGLE OF FREEDOM
I don’t blame
you
For not understanding me.
I’m the one confused,
The one who lost
The senses.
I’m just tired of being
What everyone wants
me
To be.
Tired of trying to be
Someone else.
I didn’t
lie when I said
I believed my old religion.
I just changed.
I changed my point of view.
I’m tired of people
Looking at me,
As if I still were that
Young man.
I broke away from myself.
I wrote my own script.
I’m
tired of the sacred words.
Tired of waiting for tomorrow.
I decided to wear
The Pink Triangle
And walk out of the
Concentration Camp
You built for me.
I know I make no sense.
Everything I do
Is another mistake to you.
But my Mantra
Is a triangle
of freedom.
A freedom you probably
Don’t know
yet.
UNFINISHED
Diplomatic
Immunity, Global Village
Holy Massacre, I don’t want to die
New Crusade: War Against Terror,
Just a different name.
You better say your prayers now
Who knows He will listen to?
I don’t want to go home right now
Racial Violence, blood, death,
A burning cross in your front yard,
You never know...
Maybe your God’s dead
Land of the Free, Home of the Brave.
We don’t know what we do:
Information Society, Sate Control,
Capitalistic System, Hunger,
Politics, Religion, Intolerance,
Our future - a better situation?
Pollution, Drugs, Bombs, a river of blood,
Bin Laden, Bush, McVeigh’s Syndrome
Taliban, Hamas, Christian Coalition
Freedom, Equality, Justice for All,
Washington, London, Kabul, Baghdad,
Israel, Concentration Camps,
Palestine, unnumbered victims,
Stupid beings we are.
Republicans, Democrats, Hypocrites
We are easily led astray.
Kiss your Swastika before killing me.
It’s our unholy war: guerilla, third world
Civil Rights, Letter from Birmingham Jail.
Your God is a Caucasian Heterosexual Man.
Human Nature,
Immortality, Afterlife
The United Sates Constitution, Holy Scriptures,
Our place of hiding
Prejudice, Sex, Color
Moral Perfection, Tradition
Homophobes, Gays, Discrimination,
True Knowledge, Freedom
Ignorance, Our people in chains
A mortal disease...
