The Blue Wave
You have to see it to believe it
You have to experience it to know it
You have to feel it to understand it
You have to get out of your house to witness it
The blue wave is coming, it is already here
It has spread it wings everywhere
Its sensation is wrapped up in the atmosphere
It has touched every human life far and near
I have observed it everywhere
And I still can’t believe what I have seen and heard
I have been wanting to go on a journey out of town
But the devil has had me spell bound
Was it a coincident or was it providence
Every time I wanted to make a move
The rain beats heavily on my roof
Morning come and goes so I had to postponed my planned journey
The rain would not cease and the temperature had increased
I know that this journey was not for me to have fun
And I could not relax until it was done
I got up early on July 28 without whispering a word
Everything was warm and chirpy
And this was the moment I have been waiting for
Just as I was about to step outside
The rain began to pour ferociously
I just could not figure everything out
I am still pondering what it was all about
Someone must have read my thoughts
And the rain God put a puncture in my heart
I was determined to defy the rain God
So I stepped out of the house
Without an umbrella or a rain coat
I placed a plastic over my head and walked around
the little town and completed my tasks
Later that evening I went to the train station
and bought a ticket and boarded the overnight train
The rain tundered more and more to prevent me from leaving
But sometimes looks can be rather deceiving
The rain did not cease and my will power was much stronger than my desire
I trampled the forces that had cornered me and broke the spells all around me
I spend two nights on the train moving from big cities to big town
Rural villages, countrysides, farm lands and little towns
Blue had touched everywhere, it extended from light post to wire poles
In the bushes on rooftops on pig pens and bird houses
On barn and stables, old houses and new house
On wall and zinc fences, blue was evident every
I do not watch TV because I want to be in tuned with reality
I am not in America or the Middle East
This is not a dream or imagination it is full blown reality
The sky is blue, the ocean is big and blue
And contains everything to feed me and you
So don’t let the rain stop you
you have to experience it to understand it
The blue wave is already here
I hope that everyone is prepared
