Happy Birthday Mom
Here are my poem in Norwegian: (translation in English comming down below)

Du blir et år eldre
og du har gjort det med stil
Sekundene tikker
tiden er inne
du går inn i ett nytt år
med håp i sinnet

Tid for ettertanke
på året som gikk
drømmer som knuste
alt du ikke fikk

Men alt...

Coz if I die now, I just don die...

Verdwyn 

Gespruit en toe vergete met gewete van papier
Besluit te neem om als te los wat hierso agter bly
Eers drie; toe een; toe twee; toe vier
Die som van toekomsblik vir jou - maar eerder meer vir my 

Die aand was koud en hunkring sterk sou...

Premium Member A Pickle Party
Let’s all bring our mortar and pestle
And have a party of great papaya pickle
We call this a famous Thai ‘’som tum”
So delicious! Heavenly awesome!

Let’s first wear our kitchen attire
Dance the Thai music, don’t be shy
Then prepare all the somtum ingredients
For superb taste, a hundred percent.

Pointless, Worthless, War
Why do people have to die,
for something as stupid as war?
It's pointless,
It's worthless,
and causes nothing but pain.
There may be that moment,
when the victory is great.
But there's always after,
when the sorrow sinks in,
the tears fall,
and hearts break.
Fathers and sons are lost,
leaving wives and mothers behind.
Alone to...

To the friendly and warm, call me The Som
And to the simple, less worldly, I'm a wine waitron

Frog At the Top
That 
toad,bloated, 
nose 
in 
the 
air.
What 
thinks 
he 
of 
this 
life?
Position, 
money, 
love, 
hate, 
procreation, 
death?
Then 
are 
we 
like 
the 
animal 
that 
we 
eat
Today 
here, 
tomorrow 
gon, 
forgotten. 
If 
that 
is 
animal-
man, 
transitory,
 why 
does 
he 
think 
so 
much 
of 
self?
I 
wish

Viure Per La Independencia
Si està convençut que la independència és impossible, dir-los que és impossible de ser silenciós, impossible i no tenir una veu impossible és ser inhumà i acceptar ratlles. Tenim el dret a viure. Creiem en aquesta certesa amb totes les forces del nostre cos i,...

Grandparnts' Farm
Working on grandparents' farm
Build som muscle - there's no harm!

Feed the calves; horses hay
Think I'm enjoying every day!

There sure is a lot to do
Feeding and riding to name a few!

When all the work is said and done
I'm just weary to the bone!...

Who Knows, Who Cares
Music blaring loud , covering the rage in my head.
The world is my enemy tonight.

Rain thrashing against the window, cold and hard.
Hoping it will cleanse my soul.

Knowing this is to be a vain hope.

Smoldering fire building down deep.
Hoping this is where it will keep.
Hidden away,...
