Voodoo Nova Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 In the middle of a war, and after internal elections, some times we need to sit back and enjoy the world around us. These poems (or lyrics) are a gift from MI6 to you. M- [spoiler] El Peregrino Atención, señoras y señores, un momento de atención:Volved un instante la cabeza hacia este lado de la república, Olvidad por una noche vuestros asuntos personales, El placer y el dolor pueden aguardar a la puerta: Una voz se oye desde este lado de la república. ¡Atención, señoras y señores! ¡un momento de atención! Un alma que ha estado embotellada durante años En una especie de abismo sexual e intelectual Alimentándose escasamente por la nariz Desea hacerse escuchar por ustedes. Deseo que se me informe sobre algunas materias, Necesito un poco de luz, el jardín se cubre de moscas, Me encuentro en un desastroso estado mental, Razono a mi manera; Mientras digo estas cosas veo una bicicleta apoyada en un muro, Veo un puente Y un automóvil que desaparece entre los edificios. Ustedes se peinan, es cierto, ustedes andan a pie por los jardines, Debajo de la piel ustedes tienen otra piel, Ustedes poseen un séptimo sentido Que les permite entrar y salir automáticamente. Pero yo soy un niño que llama a su madre detrás de las rocas, Soy un peregrino que hace saltar las piedras a la altura de su nariz, Un árbol que pide a gritos se le cubra de hojas. -Nicanor Parra [/spoiler] M - [spoiler] The Road Not Taken Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. - Robert Frost[/spoiler] 001 - [spoiler] Rain Before Dawn The dull, faint patter in the drooping hours Drifts in upon my sleep and fills my hair With damp; the burden of the heavy air Is strewn upon me where my tired soul cowers, Shrinking like some lone queen in empty towers Dying. Blind with unrest I grow aware: The pounding of broad wings drifts down the stair And sates me like the heavy scent of flowers. I lie upon my heart. My eyes like hands Grip at the soggy pillow. Now the dawn Tears from her wetted breast the splattered blouse Of night; lead-eyed and moist she straggles o'er the lawn, Between the curtains brooding stares and stands Like some drenched swimmer -- Death's within the house![/spoiler] 002 - [spoiler] When If Meets Must If we can fight together, we must strive together If we can play together, we must pray together If we can plan together, we must stand together If we can cry together, we must try together We must strive together, if we can fight together We must pray together, if we can play together We must stand together, if we can plan together We must try together, if we can cry together The future of man is built on a plan Of working together whenever we can So "if" must stand so tall And "must" alone, cannot fall For together, forever we bring The best, the good of it all - James Weldon Lane[/spoiler] 003 - [spoiler] A Lesson in Vengeance In the dour ages Of drafty cells and draftier castles, Of dragons breathing without the frame of fables, Saint and king unfisted obstruction’s knuckles By no miracle or majestic means, But by such abuses As smack of spite and the overscrupulous Twisting of thumbscrews: one soul tied in sinews, One white horse drowned, and all the unconquered pinnacles Of God’s city and Babylon’s Must wait, while here Suso’s Hand hones his tack and needles, Scouraging to sores his own red sluices For the relish of heaven, relentless, dousing with prickles Of horsehair and lice his horny loins; While there irate Cyrus Squanders a summer and the brawn of his heroes To rebuke the horse-swallowing River Gyndes: He split it into three hundred and sixty trickles A girl could wade without wetting her shins. Still, latter-day sages, Smiling at this behavior, subjugating their enemies Neatly, nicely, by disbelief or bridges, Never grip, as the grandsires did, that devil who chuckles From grain of the marrow and the river-bed grains. [/spoiler] 004 - [spoiler] A Dream In visions of the dark nightI have dreamed of joy departed-But a waking dream of life and lightHath left me broken-hearted. Ah! what is not a dream by dayTo him whose eyes are castOn things around him with a rayTurned back upon the past? That holy dream- that holy dream,While all the world were chiding,Hath cheered me as a lovely beamA lonely spirit guiding. What though that light, thro' storm and night,So trembled from afar-What could there be more purely brightIn Truth's day-star?[/spoiler] 004 - [spoiler]W a-s-h i-n-g t-o-n, baby, D.C.! W a-s-h i-n-g t-o-n, baby, D.C.! Washington, D.C. It's paradise to me It's not because it is the grand old seat Of precious freedom and democracy No, no, no It's not the greenery turning gold in fall The scenery circling the Mall It's just that's where my baby lives That's all. Washington D.C.! It's the greatest place to be It's not the cherries everywhere in bloom It's not the way they put folks on the moon No, no, no It's not the spectacles and pagaentry The thousand things you've got to see It's just that's where my baby waits for me W a-s-h i-n-g t-o-n, baby D.C.! W a-s-h i-n-g t-o-n, baby D.C.! Washington, D.C.! It fits me to a T It's not the people doing something real It's not the way the springtime makes you feel No, no, no It ain't no famous name on a golden plaque That makes me ride that railroad track It's my baby's kiss that keeps me coming back It's my baby's kiss that keeps me coming back -The Magnetic Fields[/spoiler] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
