Favorite Haunt

Tiny little girl
with black hair
decorated with yellow bow
runs barefoot
through the grove, singing
Dear granny
I am coming, I am coming
following light steps rhythm

Tiny little girl
felt weariness
and sat down, looking around
Over her head, besides
and all over she is seeing
Wild Strawberry
Dear granny
I will eat them. I will eat them
So big, so sweet-scented

Tiny little girl
holding the biggest berry
as a shield
saving the childhood
there preserves all in brand outline
Dear granny
I won't back, I won't back
Just pass in review an pick up
a bit strength for being granny

New Imagine

It is modern
to preserve
landscape, animals, children
buildings, the elderly
How do one do when one
takes care of?

It is modern
to exist
plan, realize
remember Yesterday, laugh
How do one do when one
Makes way of living?

It is modern
to love oneself, others
the trees on spring
snow in moonlight
How do one do when one
makes charity?

Peace

Peace and Swastika
sounds as dirty word
We have to make
guns and bombs
kill each other
Use spies
have peace talks
share prizes of peace

Perhaps we should
make calm
How to do it?

It is so easy
just stop it
Change industrial resources
Make everybody articles
Food, cars and garments
Develop Farming tools
and industrial productivity
Did you say "expenses"
Please
compare to weapons
