Come save us

Impossible to get a job
The rich rolling in bread
The rest will have to rob
Can´t pay the mortgage
Pack up and live under a bridge
Companies have to sack
Climb the mountain and jump off the ridge
The poor get poorer
While we carry our children on our back
Sleeping in the street next to the sewer
Bombs explode
Bodies corrode
Come save us Jeshua
People in dire need of your help
Children starving
People dying
Come save us Jeshua
We are tired of crying
Thy kingdom come
thy will be done
Give us today our daily bread
Your childen are dying and want to be fed

Thoughts

Thoughts in my mind
They come and go
Wonder what it´s like to be blind
Although I am not and I´m able to see
I do think at times I am so blind
Thoughts in my mind
Come and go
Walking along almost running into a tree
That would have been just fine
Hitting a tree
Might knock some sense into old poor me

Saw my father

                                                   Saw my father lying dead

                                                   Kissed him on his cold forehead

                                                   He always told me to watch the ball
                                                   Still waiting for him to call
                                                   He watches over my Mom
                                                   Wish I knew exactly where from
                                                   Perhaps walking along the beach
                                                   What a pity so out of my reach
                                                   Think about him everyday
                                                   I´m sure you know Mom is okay
                                                   I wish you could tell me where you are
                                                   One day I´ll fly to see you no matter how far

Silence in silence

Sitting in the park in the city 

Tall green trees all around me
Sunlight filtering through every branch

Thus I will do my best to be quite witty
The silence in the park calms my spirit
People walking slowly so peacefully
Many of them sitting down reading a book
Some come and go riding a bicycle so happily
Not far from me
The sound of water in the brook
A child playing with a swing
Another sitting down playing in the sand
Who knows what tomorrow will bring,
although we live far away in another land
People are born
People die
All of us strive to be happy
Others think life can be rather crappy
In the end, one day we all will fly
Sitting in the park on an autumn day
Watching people walking by
So many things we want to say
Other things left unsaid
How many times we will have to cry

Translated into Spanish by alan moliner

Sentado en el parque en la ciudad
Arboles altos alrededor de mi
La luz del sol que se filtra por cada rama
Haré lo mejor para ser bastante agudo
El silencio del parque calma mi espíritu
La gente andando lentamente tan plácidamente
Muchos de ellos sentados leyendo un libro
Algunos van y vienen en bicicleta felizmente
No muy lejos de mi
El sonido del agua en el arroyo
Un niño jugando con un columpio
Otro sentado jugando en la arena
Quien sabe lo que mañana traerá,
aunque vivimos muy lejos en otro país
La gente nace
La gente muere
Todos nos esforzamos para ser feliz
Otros piensan que la vida puede ser bastante asquerosa
Al final, un día todos volaremos
Sentado en el parque,
en un día agradable de otoño
Mirando la gente paseando
Tantas cosas queremos decir
Cuantas veces tendrémos que llorar

Walking

Simply walk

Just listen

No need to talk

No need to glisten

Just Be

To be free

As you walk along the sea,

Inhale then exhale

Leaving footprints on the sand

It´s not at all a tall tale

Simply feeling oh so grand

Being here and now

There´s no need to make a bow

Being one with the Tao

As you drink,

swallow and let it sink

Let the water flow

Like the falling snow

Caressing your soul

On your morning stroll

A Poem in Spanish "La crisis"

“La Crisis”

Recortes en todo

Nadie arrima el codo

Metidos todos estamos en el lodo

Es que no hay otro modo?

Si te pones malo

Que te den un palo

Si eres un abuelo

Seguro te vas al cielo

 Dicen que no hay camas

Tampoco hay ni médicos ni enfermeras

Solo te hacen caso

si eres Fernando Alonso

 Recortes en Sanidad

Si tienen que operarte

Te mandan a Trinidad

 Si te vas a urgencias

Estará cerrado

Mejor que te prepares para ser enterrado

 Si vamos a enfermar

Moriremos de tanto esperar

Parece que lo tenemos bastante crudo,

Pero está claro que nos vamos a quedar parados y mudo

 Los futbolistas ganando tanto dinero

Y el gobierno se pregunta

Que hacemos con el pobre minero?

 No es justa esta sociedad

Debajo de la alfombra metiendo la mierda

Siempre son los mismos los que tienen que pagar

Los poderosos siempre pueden falsificar

 Recortes en educación

Para que enseñar?

Solamente hay mas prostitución

 Suben los impuestos

Los salarios no

Solo los políticos tienen buenos puestos

 Mas dinero para los bancos

Si pides un préstamo

Te miran con cara de asco

 Los jóvenes se preguntan que pasa?

Tengo que pasarme toda la vida en casa?

Y si no que hagan la maleta

Que los alemanes ya tienen la receta

Will I fly?

Will I fly

When I die?

It often comes to my mind

What is the fate of all mankind

Will the spirit leave the body?

I wonder if it happens to everybody!

People die everyday

Do they fly so far away?

It is said we are born again

Perhaps even live in Bombay

What is death after all?

Something natural we must follow the call
Not to worry the slightest at all

Some people say they see a light

Will I fly as light as a kite?

Reaching the light

Will my spirit shine and be bright?

Flying with the wind on my face

Never more leaving any trace

I hope I do meet someone to embrace
Will I fly
When I die?

Feeling Good

 

You don´t need to be wealthy

If you want to be healthy

It´s really easy if you try

I guarantee you won´t even cry

In the morning drink two glasses of water

More than twelve a day would be fine,

But never less than nine

Everyday to rise and shine

Eat fruits and vegetables everyday

That´s what doctors always say

No need to eat fatty food

You know that´s bad

if you want to feel good

and you want to be glad

Don´t forget to eat all kinds of nuts

They´re natural and keep away diseases

and you´ll never ever be stuck in any kinds of ruts

Walk or run several times per week at least for an hour

It´s said it´s good for the memory and the heart

I´m sure you won´t feel so terribly sour,

and it´s something anyone can easily take part

Smoking

You got to be joking

Tobacco companies roll in bread

They don´t care if one day you´ll simply drop dead

So, feel good to be alive and well

That´s all I´m simply trying to tell
