Flower in the sun-set

The flower in the sun-set that must be visited daily and watered with the ocean of love rise like the morning sun and journey no-more for in rising you give strenght to my very being please stay beside me like Canada-America for inside you were before taking out from myside to be by my side oh, what a beautiful damsel how I love to call your name though unknown to me but one thing i know you are the radiant flower in the sun-set.

The otherside of night

How I love to see come though in you are hidden all atrocities of life humanity hates to see your face for you are the nightmares in-between a wonderful dream a monster with murderous threats sometimes you become morning to facilitate our mourning but i am not afraid for i know who you are daily, I wait earnestly with eyes open as the sky to behold the sight of your beauty and the tranquility of your atmosphere which neither day nor noon could give behold the otherside of night.

Africa

Mediator
Africa "Ekaro..." I mean goodmorning
I' ve come not because you summoned me
But because there is a plague in the village
Flying like flies all over the sky
Africa
Who are those behind you clothed with wailing
Are they disease infected or...
What' ve they come to do, this place is holy
Mediator
Africa...These ones are your children
And I must also tell you that
I' ve summoned even our ancestors
To make this hearing an open heaven
They want to know why so many feeding bottles
When they can masticate their food
They are naked as the sunset
Yet in you are the finest of timbers
Well, I' ve to move with the wind
And do business across the seas
Africa
Ummm, don't leave them here
Take them along with you and I will...
Mediator
And you will what?
Today and tonight they will nest with you
You and your graveyard palace
Hmmm, well tomorrow I will come
To see how they are faring
"Odabo..." I mean goodbye for now.
