there is a secret

there is a secret
the dumb and lost must share
being born gives you no right
to being here



you must fight for that right

until the very end
no one can help you
not even a friend

if you cannot live
there must be a reason why
try the advice of one who loves you
before you die



you can continue on your way

or take a detour
that is what forks in the road
are divided for



sometimes you are flying high

then are gone in a flash
do not wallow in the sluggish mud
to never make a splash



whether you find happiness or not
my secret is true

around every bend
it is only and always up to you



when the night is lonely

and there is nothing to be said
you must arise
find a different bed

when work is done
with nothing you can show
you must fight for your rights
or find a new place to go



if by fate a fatal illness

tries to take your time
there are still other options
to occupy your mind



if you have been slighted

by a wrong unrighted 
take no revenge
but walk the road as i did



do not be denied

if justice makes you mighty
when you have listened
to your heart and friend tidy



change your longitude and latitude

do not prolong a failure
do not carry a defeated attitude
get out of the sour sea, sailor



always give God your gratitude

and live for making love
that is how it happens
with the grace from the Lord up above

jellyfish dish caving-in

jellyfish dish caving-in
Sally Bowles dancing with the millionaire
wandering bones on boneless thrones
a multitude of faceless Facebook friends
popular do-nothings doing nothing
not outstandingly standing out 
nine-liners mining mindless ground rules
like a club of dim opium eaters, squinting
when God opens doors on a sunny day
