Premium Member The Illegal Alien Exchange Program

Just how many babies 
Are swapped at birth 
With a look alike other 
That other being 
Some demon or some 
Illegal Alien exchange program 
Being covertly done 
Right under our very noses 
In broad daylight 
In maternity wards worldwide 

I should know 
Being born with bi-fid thumbs 
And six toes on each foot 
Yet, it has to be my sister
She's wicked smart 
Perhaps, too smart for her own good 
And she has a big head
She’s got to be one 

Of course, what’s a little culture shock too 
Beings' stranger in a Strangeland 
After walking the long long walk 
Can’t even talk the strange talk 
Seeking asylum from oppression 
Seeking the land of Liberty 
Feel free to wear their worn-out sandals 
They’ll gladly trade for your Michael Jorden Nikes 

Then again, maybe the exchange comes later 
Some babysitter’s smuggling ring 
Except she promises to turn your little rascal 
Into an angel, for real 
Still criminal but God ordained

Still the one

Still The one 
You doubt yourself 
That do you deserve better my love?
But that's not true 
You even deserve more from ,
What I gave you
No matter how much we get ,
Angry form each other .
You will be still the one 
Whom I needed 
You are still the one 
That I turn to 
The one I can lay or hug comfortably .
You are still the one,
Who gives me strength 
Sometimes hurt me too ,
But I needed you 
Each and every day!!
You are still the one 
Even after countless flights 
I want to be with you.
You are still the one 
All my life needed 
The maximum 
If I could ask for anything 
It's only you and you !!
You are still the one 
I'll love till the last breath of my life...
And that's true...!!

Forfaldne Hav

Forfaldne hav

En gang
fra havet
kom til mig en dråbe forsigtigt
suk:
- Jeg elsker dig lang tid.
 
Jeg gjorde kun en omfattende gåtur
at se på dig
fordi jeg ikke kunne dø
uden at kigge på dig en gang før,
med min frygt for at miste dig senere.

"Nu møder vi og ser,
             vi er ikke så adskilte,
se på den enorme krumning,
Samholdet af alt så perfekt!

Hvad angår mig og dig,
det uimodståelige hav adskiller os
tager os lidt tid væk,
selvom det ikke altid kan afvige os:
vær ikke utålmodig - en kort plads
og vær sikker på at jeg hilser luften,
jorden og havet,
hver dag ved solnedgang
for din elskede årsag, min kærlighed.
