Don't Create By: Noah Eaton 9/5/02 All I want to live to see today Are your countryside, your tropical paradise All I wish for everyday Is to live in your pastoral hearty otherside Thousands of dogs starving in the alleys Do people really call this democracy? Children marching like ants, hoisting soles of labor Carrying Nike and corporations to toadstools they call timocracy Jesters flooding the gardens like locusts Chewing all the fat of the rations And here I am listening to this all It's none of my business... All I want to live to see today Are your countryside, your tropical paradise All I wish for everyday Is to live in your pastoral hearty otherside These hands that built these temples These feet that have climbed the chapels Will have nothing to do With this foreign bureaucracy Wolf packs tearing at the "just" in justice Like Assyrians in phalanx formations Lying in our graves, digging for diamonds Stolen from our forefathers, stripped of their gauntlets The population grows and there's a new argument forming every five seconds Don't make this worse than it already is Don't create, I beseech you... As I stand and strum this bleeding guitar All I want to live to see today Are your countryside, your tropical paradise All I wish for everyday Is to live in your pastoral hearty otherside These ears that've heard like a dolphin This voice that bellows like a lion Will have nothing to do With this foreign bureaucracy... I don't relate to tarot readings I don't believe to Karl Marx Ben Jonson says "It is not growing like a tree!" Where do these roots tear down at the bark? You are my auguries of innocence You are my melting pot of everything pleasant The papparazzi that watches my every move My Dome of the Rock, how I got back my groove A flag to my nation A train at every station My parchent, my recitation I know you believe it... All I want to live to see today Are your countryside, your tropical paradise All I wish for everyday Is to live in your pastoral hearty otherside Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story ***Shakira*** [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (06-13-2003 09:10 PM).] |

Noah, YOU do create!--but it is a world of beauty, and wisdom and joy--through your poetry, songs, and generous service to the community. Another fine write, Dear One! Loving hugs, EA |
