COMMON WORDS

          Common everyday words
          Meaningless words of nothing
      Overused shadows in a blind world
          We have to escape from them
    We have to reinvent another worldwide language
                Meaningless words
              Meaningless peoples
               They frightened us
     Because they belong to the ugliness
              We frightened them
         Because we believe in beauty
     We are threat for them because we
           Believe in a new language
              In a Human language
                      For Humanity
          In a language made of light
    In a language made of love and beauty
          In a language made of Poetry
              Common everyday words
                   They refuse us
                   We refuse them

NOBODY

                       I am nobody
           I am a king without a throne
        A garden in the desert of a tree
        Who knows where I come from
               Who knows where I go
    Who knows why I spare my dreams for      nothing
          I am everything and nothing
            A cloud beyond the rain
            A rain beyond the cloud
   Maybe one day I can feel my nature
     Maybe one day I can understand
   Why I act and live so different from myself
   Why I live my life like a stranger
     And become a blank message
                 In an empty bottle
                     I feel so sad
               Because I am nobody
             Nobody like anyone else
