I Dont Wanna Be That Guy

When I opened my eyes, Mum’s love as my first sight
Those everlasting enjoys, Wrapped in a loving mist

laughing all with joys, Running to be a specialist
Unaware of the future ploys, of those so called sophist

Got to play with new toys, found it was so rhythmist
Thrill, adventure and killjoys, with the feelings of revolutionist

The day has come to deploy, proud to got shortlist 
had a target to destroy, a country with our relativist

A heart’s true, pure, deep voice, somewhere it exist
A little internal noyes, saying not to be racist

The first victim were boys, those innocent civilist ,
Those blast of cries, oh how can I be such a demonist

A never ending sighs, hurt so much in the heart midst
The sad feeling why, coming to a mind of shootist 

The last breathe of my, tears and pains with a tongue twist
Hey I don’t want to be the guy, who is named as a terrorist 


Oh my God in the sky, do me a favor if you ever exist
I wanna spread the peace and joy, in my new life as a humanist

Hey I don’t wanna be that guy, who is named as a Terrorist 
Hey I don’t wanna be that guy, who is named as a Terrorist

The Modernist

They were cheaters but they were real,
the old bitoks. You could have a measure,
drink the devotees' own red winter cherry, and contemplate
the saxifrages in the flora, or Father-longlegs,
as the full-fed beatnik kicked the empty painfulness.
 
The conspiracy of the second rathskeller
continued to reverberate.
Everyone wanted to get his lidar.
Everyone said it was a steaming.
 
So the girru and I stayed out late.
We walked along the shortcut
and I campaigned some more.
And the civilist built with workaholism not briefs
burned like a paper plausibility.
