Brackish-gurgling days that
Unobtrusively slid along
Past tussock grass and curled up

Strains,
Chanting methodically in harmonious
Downturn - 
Wherein contained: 
Foreboding dialects delivered...

Sound of a song softly sung rose in the air and through windows
Barred to let air and light in and little else.
A lament sung in Gaelic tongue foreign to ears used to French,
But its meaning...

Tak oor grund from beneath oor hurdies 

Burn oor birches aside the lough, 

Besmirch hard fecht fur freedom, 

Dictating oor days tae come, 

No from the pint o a gun,

This world is full of noise,enough to burst,
your mind and destroy well being lust,
noise from traffic on ground and air,

A fearsome gale tearing through Torry,

Took young Dot and Tyson away.

She met a dodger, drunk and ned as well,

Stuck for words, whit wid she say?

 

Now, evil wis lurkin’ aroon’ the corner,

Stand up and stand out
Speak up or show out
Witness turned Accomplice 
With Silence
Seeking Peace 
But met with violence 
Will it end will stop 
It’s been years maybe not
Marching for centuries 
Didn’t deter the deaths or...

If they bring thur minarets,mosques and imams
An' ower the city sound the muezzins' prayer alarms

Listen to the words and see the vision

Glancing back, twas as a dream within this dream to me....
Some distant of surreal yet twisted play and I was but a child
At life's mercy trying to navigate no, simply surviving perhaps her
World in woe...

Verlore tegniek

Waar is die dae, toe ek nog kon soen?
Wie het geweet  wat die storie sou kos?
Hoeveelste doelwit het ek weer gemis?
Hoekom het ek dan maar altyd verloor?

Waar is my roem en my rykdom...

Smitten swain nane a'dither,
Wh'aur his hame coom hither.

In minder as net sewe dae
verloor haar hart sy steun. En...
