I've been dreaming about a girl
With silver hair and icy eyes,
With pink lips and good vibes,
With the softest smile and skinny thighs...
She was the sun ray that kissed your face
After the cruel winter haze.
She was the gracious lioness,
Almost like a royal Highness.

But she was just a con
Because, c'mon ,
She told me she loved me,
That she'll never leave me
And then I woke up and she was gone
And I was left alone from dusk 'till dawn.
When you think you just found your true Happiness, then Life waltzes in and gives you a good slap.
They expect everyone to

believe in their genocide

but not a word about ours.


They expect everyone to

turn the blind eye, while

they extract a gold tooth.


They expect everyone to

view them as victims and

us their national antonyms.

      In Judaism goats were

       laden with sins of the

       village then sent forth

       into the desert, to die.


       They were known as

        escape goats, from

       whence derived the
  
    modern term, scapegoat.


   Angels were journalists of

    God, messengers, town

   criers, paragons of virtue,

       underwriters of truth.

    
    In Biblical times, the ***

        symbolised service,

   suffering, patience, peace,

humility, but above all, wisdom.
Life is no charming fairytale
Even on easiest days
Most blessed person you know
Has demons to keep at bay
There's no such thing as perfect
Beauty eventually will all decay
The only hope we have is to hang on
Find happiness within the disarray
And there is no such thing as happily ever after

"Keep your eyes closed, love. sometimes all you have to listen is to what the sound of the waves tells you to do."

When I was much younger, beaches were my second favorite places. I still love watching waves as they go by, crashing against each other and the whole process repeating all over again.
