The bitter cloud we feel envelops us
When friends are short and noone seems to smile
Is smaller than  the breath of the white dove

Do we envy  others who find love?
They may suffer inwardly  the while
Sad, bitter clouds some days can wrap us up

 

 

As Jesus in the Garden drained his cup
He shivered, groaned, but was not filled with bile
Sheltered  by  the   fluttering winged  dove.

His eyes too wet, to see the clouds above
He felt   the anguish   of a lost,small child
The bitter clouds  were broken by  his love

The storm would fail, the prophets hear no voice
God  is weeping  at  our human  wiles
Who dwells  within the breath of  holy doves?

Life may seem too dark , we want to fall
The hands of God are  caught in  new built walls
The bitter cloud we feel envelops us
It’s  self torment, it’s  profitless ,seek Good.

 

How can the world be here, yet he is not?

How can the world be here yet he is not
While beetles, ants and spiders   pass this way?
As my hungry fears I try to blot
How can the world be here yet he is not?
Whether it be cold or be it hot
No more words between us are begot
I must go through the narrow gate  today
How can the world be here , yet he is not,
As beetles, ants and spiders   pass this way?

 

Rule not Britannia

I feel ashamed of Britain and its songs
My   own mixed blood will rise up and complain
The poor are slaves ;  our rulers  did grave wrongs

I am not proud,all hate the ones who’re shunned
We, foreign ,mixed, however  did we come?
I feel ashamed of Britain and its songs

I am not a Jew,so I belong
My Aryan  face and hair  have caused me pain
The poor are  slaves,our rulers have done wrong

The  people here have spoken many tongues
English  oddly worldwide in domain
I feel enraged ; oh Britain,  hear your songs

Many Europeans, aid our plans
Others come from Asia where Queens reigned
The poor exploited; Britain did  them wrong

We look for scapegoats, preferably  unknown
We Northern Europeans set the tone
I  feel ashamed , Britannia, what a  song
Better sing  Jerusalem with pangs
