Non random, but (based on my very
     far out, flimsy laughably 
     amateurish thinking)

On my way to the gym to shape my well nourished body
I travel a whole Universe of madness from leafy suburbs
high walls electric fences barbed wire marble statues and
well manicured lawns a distasteful reminder...

I've got a fist full of Buddha,
And a fist full of Rand,
A pocket full of Jesus,
And the other's filled with sand,

Vergossene Tränen, verloren,
versickert in der Vergangenheit
wie Frühlingsschnee
im September

Kein Grab, kein Stein,
für die Erinnerung,
ausgelöscht die Namen, 
unvergessen das Leid

Die Birken im Wäldchen
verschlucken sich an dem Licht,
nur die Blätter verdecken die Sonne
mit traurigen Augen

Angst verbreitet sich stumm,

Standing reverent in a dull cast mist
glazing my cheeks while prayers were said
so silent stood at Rand's memorial

Early the hour, before the sunrise.
Groggy from the rigors of moral stress.
I found myself quite numb with sullen eyes.
After a night, fighting my demoness.

She had me bound to a bottle of drink.
Which I could not...

Western education,
Taught us everything.....
Everything, that is......

It taught us about
Early man, slavery and slave trade 
It taught us to,
Turn to the right cheek
When smacked on the left cheek


It taught us that
The white man discovered Africa,
The earth...

We arrived home after an exhausting shopping spree,
Pulled into our drive, turned off the engine, to our delight,
Home, don’t look them in the eye, dangerous, there are...

Wind whipped his face, the dogs, they ran
Across bleak-white ice and snow,
Paid in cash by Rand McCorchoran
To Dawson, he would go.
Delivering mail, medicine, and booze
To a town still on the grow,
Earning tips from richer folk
Prospectors...

I bend and stretch and breath, 
to find myself among the ruins 
of ancient places, faces, and history. 

Although I strive to change the tide
of my own motivations,

“Uh…uh…uh…uh… ‘at ‘ould ‘e ‘ice”
“That would be nice,” is what you meant
And with those words a hole appears
In my even temperament.

Sitting at your loving knee
Parables of wisdom and faith
And all...
