god flow on "Steroids"
Fly like I'm "Elroy"
Want my soul dark an "Void"
Voices in my head you might think I was "Paranoid"
But they want to "Killjoy"

When the Rhino has poor eye sight.
These prehistoric creatures
Cannot distinguish human features.
But with a well-developed sense of smell
Fortunately they can always tell
When danger or a poacher is close,
Thanks to their...

Bovine ailments make cows sad
Diseases I have never had
Dreams that cannot be fulfilled
Stomachs, four, happiness, nil

Soured milk from rotting udders
Poorly calfs with fretting mothers
Coughing, wheezing as they plod
Where many a gangrenous hoof has trod

In pastures...

And its nefarious root.
In a raging storm of wrath.

To a drive-in where we would eat in the truck

Settled in the last space, next to the muck

How calm, how cool aah!
In the queue of betel jackfruit, mango garden
Happiness run with family
Paddy area and the mustard field.
Baisagu arrived in our village
Beautiful dance of joy, welcome
Village to replay around parties
Kham jotha thorkha playing.
Aah!...

Always tread carefully
Among spoiled or fresh dairy
On either side of any estuary
Days and nights where the weather varies
Can't be focused on the unnecessary

Must be in my genes, call it hereditary
All this other  is temporary

always for tomorrow,
yet this day one hope’s never to end
although this life without a dream
a reality to pretend,
alas without a lifetime friend.

It’s almost tomorrow
a life sadly coming...

A dog with a diaper on

For nutrition
