He, who lives
He, who lives; is he,
who leaves
but he, who runs; is
he, who ends up crawling, ends up crawling.
And he, who wanders
off the path of man is
He, who has as
friends the moon and stars.
I don’t know what you
are,
I was thinking a
friend, a lover,
a sister, daughter,
I will follow; I’m
not falling down.
She, who gives me
love
is she who listens;
she, who hears me out
and she’s not walking
out.
Now I know what you
are,
You’re the one who
releases me, believes me,
Hears me, holds me,
fires me up and chills me;
understands this war
inside and loves me, listen,
I will follow; I’m
not falling down.
She, who gives me
love
is she who listens,
she, who hears me
howl
like only she knows how.

La Luna

Calladita en un rincón
la luna que vela ya.
Suspira el amanecer
la luna que vela ya.
Llevame contigo amor
mi luna que vela ya.

Three kinds of Drones
Drones in the sky,
drones in the sky
Bring internet to
people -far and wide
Set'em free to ‘click’
and ‘share’ and ‘like’
If angels could fly,
they’d be drones in the sky.
Drones in the sky,
over places that don’t
even have a power
grid, never mind
laptops and tablets;
where their wells run dry
Where the hunger
makes new-born babies cry.
But with drones in
the sky, ‘WiFi’ flies
Facebook and google
want drones in the sky
They'll bring ‘YouTube’ where people need just plain food
They’d sell them
‘Netflix’ if they only could
This image is a work of a U.S. military or Department of Defense employee
, taken or made as part of that person's official duties.
As a work of the U.S. federal government, the image is in the public domain.
Drones in the sky, means
friends in the sky
Sub-Saharan towns
will have ‘LinkedIn’ and ‘Skype’
Put your town on the
map, find a date with our app
For the payment: ‘Pay-pal’
or ‘Bitcoin’ is fine.
Drones can deliver
you shit from the sky
‘Amazon’ can ship to
the Amazon now
‘Tweet’ from your
jungle ‘cause now you know why
Your rainforest looks
so dry form up high.

2nd Kind: ‘Peeping-Tom Drones’
Drones in the sky, are
pervs in the sky
They data-mine your
every crime
What you post, what
you share, what you like, who you ‘tag’
Live under their
microscope ‘til you die.
Drones that map your
home from the sky
Can’t even sunbathe
naked outside
neighbours will know
where you tan-line lies
By-the-way, ‘Google
maps’ says ‘Hi’
Drones in the sky,
bombs that fly
The CIA has drones in
the sky
They’ve got a shopping-list
terrorist ‘kill-list’
It’s World War 3, one
‘click’ at a time.
Drones in the sky, the
end is nigh
The president has
bombs that can fly;
It’s like ‘9/11’ one civilian
at a time
‘cause those lives ain’t
worth less than mine.
To use the excuse that
they want to produce
They need us to think
we need drones in the sky
2/3 of the world is not
even on-line
And maybe if sent a
‘friend request’, they’d decline.
Humanity comes before
connectivity
Children’s lives before
military activity
Damn your drones and
your bombs and your bloody list
not every
brown-skinned man is a terrorist.
And shove your drones
up high.
