Gaza’s not a bug it’s a feature

Gaza’s not a bug it’s a feature
This is what the west wants to teach ya
Keep off our green green grass
Or we’m a kick y’all’s ass

Gaza’s not a bug it’s a feature 
Pull up a ringside seat, yeah
We want you to hear all the crying
We want you to smell all the dying

Gaza’s not a bug it’s a feature
Sit down and listen to teacher
Trust not your ears or your eyes 
Trust in our beautiful lies

Gaza’s not a bug it’s a feature
We’ve always used this procedure 
Learn you what’s wrong and what’s right 
In the glare of our big gas light 

Gaza’s not a bug it’s a feature
Deep in your mind we defeat ya
Fret not what’s right or what’s wrong
Just bend the knee to the strong

Gaza’s not a bug it’s a feature
This is just rinse and repeat yeah
Korea Iraq Vietnam
Who’s our next Passover lamb?

Gaza’s not a bug it’s a feature 
Take it from the mad street preacher
Truth is to buy and to sell
We make the heaven and hell

Gaza’s not a bug it’s a feature
You’re not like us? We delete ya
Agent Smith’s hand in your chest
Now you’re a Smith like the rest

To understand the battle between good and evil

For a ringside seat to watch good and evil battle it out,
You need to go no further than your own back yard, 
And you will see the flowers battle it out with weeds, 
You will see the flowers slowly being smothered to death by evil weeds,
Such as convolvulus,
Unless you intervene and make it a more even contest.

Of this never ending battle you should not doubt,
And the chances of good winning in our lifetime I deem impossible,
But the good news is that we can reduce the harm evil can do,
Which when I see a well tended garden in full bloom,
Is reason enough for me to keep fighting the good fight.

Heartbeat attraction
Fairy tale quest, green and lush
Ringside seat of love

Premium Member Ring a Ding Ding Ding

The rinky-dink ringmaster was a ringleader.
His yellow perched ring-tail cat had a ringside seat
His sassy ring-necked eagle had a ring meter.
His knowledge of Ring of Nibelung could not be beat.
He called his circus the Rinky-dink Ring-a-Ding-Ding-Ding.
We sat in ringside seats, staring at the first animal filled ring.
We are the Ring-A-Ding-Dongs, he said with a giant smile.
The ring-tail cat began to circle the crowd, intriguing us for a while.
The ring-necked eagle began to fly around the Ring-A-Ding tent.
Before it was over, I was on the edge of my seat, glad I had went.

Premium Member - Northern Lights - Aurora Borealis-

The Northern Lights have always been associated
   with myths - fairy tale - mystery and legends
   One of these is that the Northern Lights
   are light that dances in the sky
   together with the goblins and trolls
   A dance of the polar sky
   In Northern Norway you can experience
   Northern Lights from ringside seat
   The Northern Lights consists of geomagnetic activity
   It is also called winter heaven light organ
   Nature's most magnificent phenomena
   A party in many different beautiful colors
