Rock away baby
in your tree top,
When Earth winds blow
our cradle can't stop
And all Her Queen's horses
and all old bald white men
can't put Her regathered
together again.
Her welts raise our stories
of struggle and sin,
our strengths are new songs
about old wounds gone wrong.

Gembo Ductkinjarr is real strong man
he can pull the stump
outta the ground
he grabbed a stump with
his bare hands
and pulled it straight from the ground
people came round
from miles away
to Gembo and the stump
we sold t-shirts
beer and burger things
at the event of the stump
one guy came and
said Gembo's a fraud
Gembo just eyed him down
he told Gembo do it again
the crowd regathered around
Gembo smiled and said to the man
grab an ax and let's chop
they contested a bout
who cut down a tree the fastest
the referee called the bout
Gembo chopped
and chopped and chopped
3/4 way thru
while the other guy way at half
he looked at the fella
and smiled and laughed
with one chopped the huge
tree came down
he grabbed the stump
and grunted and grin
and it came up out the ground
people were cheering
spilling their drinks
Gembo acted like he didn't hear a sound
the fella told Gembo
I know when I'm licked
he shook his hand and left
the crowd showered Gembo with gifts
he looked for the ladies in the crowd

The rag of darkness
gradually transforms now
in to a red ball of gentle fire
which will spread in minutes
to all forests falls and fields
gently awaking all to life
with a warming smile.
The ball of ice
has started rolling down
to form a stream
to enliven the dead deserts
to their green supreme!
The dirt,the debris
the torn rotten corpses carcasses
are swept and thrown to the oblivion.
The chirps tiny souls,blooming
of pretty flowers,dew drenched grass beds
have sent the ghosts demons dragons
away from the scene.
Now,it is for everyone
to buzz with business
and dance to the rhythm.
The dying flame
deep down the stony cold darkness
has regathered it's courage
and stone crushing zeal
to re-kindle itself to jump again
in to the enraged ocean of life.
