Highlander in Lowland

Highlander in Lowland

Yes. - You know what it feels like being

Wild and brutal and innocent like a lamb

You know what it feels like being strong

And to elapse with the running sand

And you know how I feel healthy

When I feel all that sudden insane

You know how I feel all handsome

Midst an ugly injustice name

You know how I do care about

When nobody, neither I, seems to care

You know how I sense, notice and perceive

When I happen to appear blissfully unaware

And you know that I do love

Although I have no reason why

You know that I also can hate

But mostly prefer to cry

You know that I'm vulnerable

Because I gave you the power to

You know that I am all willed 

The halfway all through

You know that I live fully

Half dead and half-forsaken

You know that I am all blessed

Nearly all the God's way awaken

You know that I'm happy

Even though I'm awfully sad

You know that I can kill you

Or make you heavenly glad

You know me, you know you

You know how the world works

You know that hope isn't to die

But it does and that it hurts

Hope dies off and on, and yet again

Then it rises from the dead becoming a new

Hope is a "Highlander", invisible and yet there

Damned to be alive, not living it all through

You know that we are equal

You know that we are the same

You know that we've already won

Even though we'd never may gain

You know that I know you

You know that you're with me

And I know that I'm in you

Wherever you may be

Jam-to be?

Jam-to be?

I feel bit stupid, bounded and baffled

I feel that I shouldn't feel at all somehow

I feel that I should come to any conclusion

Get a closure and get some peace, right now

I cannot go on, giving my heart without giving it

In return, being dear to, including easing myself here

Being of one mind, being palsy-walsy and not airy-fairy

With strong option of no fall-back option, that half-sheer

I feel I'd like to have it one way

I feel like I'd like to have it all

I feel like I'd like to vanish

Or like giving it a call

"Give it a rest!?" or "Give it a try!?"

"Give it a shot!? or do "Give it a bone!?

"Give it a listen!? "Shall we call it quits!?

I need an open door, and windows, a home

Time is running bloody fast

Wisdom goes agonizingly slow

The risks are all high, I know

And guarantees all so low

But what's with what is all so given?

How do I know what's to be worthwhile?

What's an impasse, blind and dead end?

Or what is worth a so extra mile?

I feel ho-hum, overdue and some irritated

I feel a painless pain in my heart and ass

I want to go much further reaching

"Goodbye-ing" to that "mess"

I guess I hit the road to hit the damned pot 

That's not empty or full of lack of decision

I better hit the deck to hit the bullseye

Imagination, interest, and vision

The Complexional Prejudices of Man

The Complexional Prejudices of Man

If I believed the whole wide world

I wouldn't deserve one tiny little thing

I wouldn't be any worth any gold that mint

Neither the light nor the darkness or some ring

If I believed that world 

I wouldn't be worth my salt 

Not worth a fight or some try 

Being just fuss, factor and fault 

If I believed the world 

I'd merit no single friend 

No piece of luck, no chance 

Nor love or nor mirth to grant 

I would be simply transparent 

So opaque, dark and obscure as well

I'd be just a thing virtuously being used 

A place in one's heart where to dwell 

If I believed that world all around 

I'd be a paradise without such a garden 

I would not be worth my weight or my light 

I'd hardly deserve any single gentle so pardon 

But I don't believe it

I'm not such a simple fool 

I might be all of that and not 

I may be weird, green and cool 

But I'm even more than this little world

I'm much more than the world seems to know 

I'm more than the inner world of pain, guilt or hate 

And more space, water, air or energy with oars to row 

I'm a believer, some higher truth, and the blood 

That once has been shed to be saved and too, to save 

I am the creator of the world inside the so wider world 

A dream to be real and vigorous, and most of all brave
