Nothing Really Matters...
Where were you when I needed you?
You did not exist.
Once You were there, but you weren't.
How typical...
Once I believed I was perfectly BOHEMIAN
and could not realize my happiness
revolved around you.
Silly me.
Expecting to be the owner
of someone else's life.
Pretending I could deal with a refusal.
Brainless me!
Now...I own my own and inner self
an apology and explanation.
For I was wrongly mistaken
I was confused and deceived
by your Charm.
Vain Charm!
Worthless!
Deceitful!
Broken Heart
for unfulfilled
desires, so common!
-Just chronic.
If only....
Always if only...
But that's no longer the disguised excuse...
How unwise.
It only takes a second, a minute, an hour
and never more than a week
to make up with one's misery
Understanding as though in a RHAPSODY, though
Once you've reached the bottom
of the deepest disappointment
It goes up inevitably by itself:
And the relief comes back again...
...For there's nothing keener to be done.
...For anyway the wind blows.
God Save the Queen in Me, let's have fun.

Devastating Video...
SONG: Child of Vision
How can we even dare and complain about an economic crisis...?
all that damage, all those deaths, all that unforgettable suffering...
We must never take it for granted, for all that is still there.
Part of our most recent , cluellest History.

TIME (poem)
You and your Time
Time waits for nobody...
You say you never have enough Time
You have Time for nothing
Time is NOW
And It has already vanished…
Time is all we have
And as soon as you think 
of it
It has flown- forever
Time is us
And Time doesn’t exist
Time is there and nowhere
It’s time you grasped It
For I'm afraid it’ll be too late
When you want to enjoy It
It’s high time you stopped saying,
'It’s too late, I have to go'
And instead, say,
'It’s so early, I might stay'
See you soon ???

Supertramp Instrumental (1)
THIS is a series of songs by Supertramp I'll be giving you in the next few weeks. They are highly and beautifully instrumental; but with very deep sweet lyrics too!!!!
SCHOOL
When I was little and I listened to this song I always felt scared because of the cry by a child you hear.. I had been told (by my Brother) that it meant this was about a little girl being raped after leaving school... Fortunately, he was wrong. What I understand now is that An Adult is just trying to give advice to a child of how hard this life can be.
.........................What do you understand??...

Freddie Mercury's solos (and 7)
A Freddie Mercury
A las Palabras...
Al Piano...
Al Ritmo....
Por medio de tu voz
Y de tu ritmo
Debo agradecer-
Aprendí a amar tu Arte.
Por medio de tu Voz
Y de tus Palabras
Debo agradecer-
Aprendí a mejorar tu Idioma.
Aprendí a sorprenderme
De cuánto tenemos en común
Entre otros-
El horóscopo y
El Amor a los Gatos!
Debo agradecer
Que aprendí a sorprenderme
De cuánto debía agradecerte
Porque gracias a ti, tantas cosas
Tanta vida
Tanto sentir
Tanto ser o no ser
Tenía que agradecer...
Que- Gracias a ti y
Especialmente
Gracias, a Mi Hermano,
Que me dio a conocerte-
Tanto que “gracias”
Por tu música
No sé si es justo.
Pero es más que suficiente.

POSITIVE THINKING
Now... what are the messages you want to hear?
Loving yourself is the most important thing you can do,
because when you love yourself,
you are not going
to hurt yourself or anyone else...
It's the prescription for World Peace.
If I don't hurt me
and I don't hurt you,
how can we have war?
The more of us who can
get to that Place,
the better the planet will be.
Let's begin to be concious of what is going on
by listening to the words we speak
to ourselves and others.
Then we can begin to make the changes that will help heal
ourselves as well as the rest of the Planet...
(Louise L. Hay, 1991)
