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
 
 1st Kind: ‘Angel 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

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’

 3rd Kind: ‘Drones from Hell’


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.

Out There



 

Death in youth is the worst thing in life.

 

Shadows, night falls

Like a wounded lamb.

Young blood, runs cold

Tides that rush the land.

 

Someone looks out the window in the dark,

Out there, is there anyone who knows?

 

Sister moon, her love blooms under your light; tonight.

 

Blue light, did you come into my room?

Sleepwalk, and I woke clawing at your name…

 

Sleeptalk you call me from far above;

Out there, is where an angel shouldn’t go.

 

Sister moon, her love blooms under your light; tonight.

 

Out there is where, I wish you well.

Out there is where, you and I die.

Crazy





You’re eyes are closed but I know you can see in the night,

When there is no light that can shine and the outshine God’s favourite star;

Start to realise that your eyes have just opened and now stare at mine,

I can see that the light’s in your eyes heart then the shining is mine, all mine.

Crazy but I understand.

 

Your lips are still like shield left afield in the still of the quiet night

And the silence is smiling a savouring smile;

One of love and warmth like the kind in your touch when your lips are on mine,

And a whisper unfolds from the sight then the silence is mine, or thine.

Crazy but I understand.

 


And it’s all because of you:

That I’ll sing ‘till the break of the day, for you;

And I’ll sing ‘till the end of the world for you.

 


Years have gone by and the danger of dying young’s gone

A long time ago, somehow we never made it whatever that meant

But I won’t forget what you taught me by always living for yourself

As today I’m alive and I live only for those I love; and love life.

 

Crazy but I understand.

Do you know what I mean?
