  And stares death in the eye with abhor.

The rope falls limp in sure defeat,
  Yet the...

Come now, people - we've all heard this before:
Barbarians at our gates, enemies without the door.
Their shapes the image of our own,
Their shadows like as well; though some be lesser known.

Sound loud the alarms, deafen the ears
Harden our hearts, feed on our fears -
Divide the...

(ohne jegliche vorbereitung)

für jede träne
müsste es irgendwo dort
ein lächeln geben

für jeden ruf
eine antwort
am ende jeden traumes
eine erfüllung
mit offenen armen zu warten
bereit die realität
zu umarmen

für jedes ich
soll dort irgendwo 
ein du existieren
nur meins

Wir kommen
Wir wandern
Und wir gehen
Das ist alles was wir wissen.

Wir kommen auf die Erde
Wir streifen umher, wir surfen
Und wir gehen mit nichts
Kein Geld, keine Dollars und keine Wertsachen.

Wir sagen guten Morgen
Wir plaudern, lachen und singen
Und wir schlüpfen mit nichts davon
Kein Geschwister, Grundstücke und Aktien.

Danke Bitte und Mehr
David J Walker

It was a land of foreign thought
And I was the denizen drifter
In uniform that hid my ignorance 
and poverty
In an OD Green costume that was
Barely me 
	Rarely me on weekends

One who could pass for a different class
Of vagabond wandering across...

Darkness of Sturm und Drang 

Darkness of Sturm und Drang 
When you gotta fight with your own fated yarn
Dark persuades your shadow 
Sheds your mortal mass
And gore inscribes the merciless nights
Sins like gems carved in my chest 
Crucify me
I'll resurrect; soon, sooner!

Darkness of Sturm und...

We asked for nothing more

Plagued with lifelong lower gastrointestinal Sturm und Drang
