Ode to health (what else really matters?)

 Grateful

 

1.This is for every sunset,

That shines between the trees,

For every time I pass by,

Not falling on my knees.

 

2.This is for all the colors,

More than the eye can see,

And for all choices out there:

Attack, or stand, or flee.

 

3.This is for all the stray cats,

That my fingers can touch,

To all things that I run from

And never liked so much.

 

4.This is for the Creator,

Who blessed me with my sight,

What matters, when I can tell

The day, the night, the might?

Too much mercy is bad for you

 Only God has mercy

 

1.They often drink blood,

Saying they are thirsty,

Only God forgives,

Only God has mercy.

 

2.You dare misbehave

And cause controversy?!

Let them speak their minds,

Only God has mercy.

 

3.You don’t fall in line,

Then you are not worthy.

Let them turn their heads,

Only God has mercy.

 

4.When the feeding hand

Withdraws from the city,

Who will really care?

Only God has pity.

Who would've thought

 Justice in the world

 

1.When I look in others’ eyes

I see too much compromise,

Too many well-hidden sighs,

Covered by mountains of lies,

Is it worth it?

 

2.When I’m looking in the mirror,

What I want has gotten nearer,

The reflection’s become clearer,

Man, if only you could see her!

It is worth it.

 

3.I’ll tell you something unheard,

There is justice in the world,

If you dare fly like a bird

And sing about what occurred,

Try and see it.

 

4.Is there all that much to lose?

Only crumbles, if you muse.

So, give up the soul and booze

And look up to different views,

It is worth it.
