El Condor Pasa
El Condor Pasa means Flight of the Condor
Song preformed by Simon and Garfunkel
I'd rather be a
sparrow than a snail
Yes I would
If I could
I surely would.
(Do you remember this one?)
The Buzzard
Watching the buzzard up high
Circling in the clear blue sky
Catching the air currents, free
Looking down on you and me
Searching for nourishment, meat
As he circles what does he see
His homeland, his dead tree
A great country that's still free
A homeland riddled with crime
No longer really safe, nor free
Freedom to leave doors unlocked
Cars no longer safe to just park
Maybe the buzzard is waiting
To feed, on filth that rules
The streets with crime, drugs
Handguns wildly handled
(Unfinished and rhymes somewhat. Can you think from news of something to
add?)
