Don't count me out
I'm not growing sprouts

I'm just sitting in the pool of people
Waiting on god to decide by a turn of a needle

How is it determined
Who will go up and who will go down,
who's about to be summoned

Maybe it's a bidding factor
Between God and the Devil for that matter

Could it be odd or even, heads or tails.
We all are choosing to prevail

We all think we know
I guess I better get my ducks in a row

Either way I'm a little scared
As the news makes me more aware

The earth is not a flat like a wheat field
The scholar proclaimed his unlucky discovery
They made a huge pile of wooden posts
And lit a flaming fire to burn the poor wretched

Thousands before him knew the earth was flat
But to no purpose for they lacked courage
Poor them, indifferent
They had women and children to care
Who would become a hero for so an unimportant cause?

What's new? Have you heard?
Bad statistics up a third
Someone said a naughty word
Candid shot with ******* blurred
Terrorists and pirate fleets
Politician/Mango tweets
Weather bombs, infernal heats
Docu-dramas and repeats
How to drop a size for spring
A kitten with a ball of string
Arguments from either wing
Adverts selling everything
Striking blows, legal highs
Diplomatic compromise
Close ups of the royal thighs
******* wins the nobel prize
A baby drinking anti-freeze
Retention fighting llama cheese
IMFs and IEDs
With overheads and hidden fees
Settlements and legal action
Kidnap by extremist faction
Cartoon dogs and brief distraction
Now, about your next transaction
Shorter cash and longer queues
Horoscopes and cryptic clues
Underpayment overdues
I wonder why they call it news?

From the top of mountain height
A long stream left with delight
She flowed tirelessly day and night
Dreaming
Persisting
To feed the sea
Become a wave
And there forever be

Once
The poor stream
Struck with longing
Began to lament and scream
Losing virginity
She missed mountain and eternity

Nunca te han abandonado
lo sé
lo sé porque tu abandonas
y si supieras
si tan sólo supieras cómo se siente
si alguien te hubiera abandonado antes
nunca lo hubieras hecho

you tell me
I'm beautiful
smart
funny
caring

and I thank you
for describing someone
I don't recognize
