Purple people



Since an angel's face is so tricky to wear constantly, if
one day, I can keep my sanity no more
then will they eat me alive
will they want me to die?

---------------------------

Well hey do you do Judo
when they surround you
A little mental yoga
will they disappear
It's grim but never dubious as motives go
One thing she'll always promise promise
is see a show
Thunder wishes it could be the Snow
Wishes it could be as loved as she can be
These gifts are here
for her for you for me
I watch me be this other thing and never know
if I'm marooned or where the purple people go
then lily white matricide from vicious words
it doesn't leave a scratch so therefore no one's hurt
Thunder wishes it could be the Snow
Wishes it could be as loved as she can be
These gifts are here
for her for you for me
And don't you know
The nurses make it clear
Just when you've escape you have yourself to fear
a restaurant that never has to close
Breakfast, every hour
it could save the world
so hey do you do Judo in your finery
an angel's face is tricky to wear constantly
Thunder wishes it could be the Snow
Wishes it could be as loved as she can be
These gifts are here
for her for you for me
For her for her

I got home, I turned on the TV as I was too tired to do anything else. Wanting to shut my brain off, I pressed the button. But she was improvising, rubbing a metal disk against a bow. Next, she was rubbing a large metal plane, producing some very interesting sound. I was deeply touched by her notion of music. Silence is the loudest and the heaviest sound, she said. Most people just don't notice. Breathing in and breathing out, and I'm listening.

An interesting read ---Our History Is Still Being Written: The Story of Three Chinese Cuban Generals in the Cuban Revolution

Image
Just finished reading the book. It based mainly on the oral history presented by the three generals--their personal experiences of the pre-revolution and the post-revolution times. There're lots of less-heard anecdotes, but the most interesting part is when they talk about the problems faced by the Cuban society nowadays. 1959 was not an end. Despite all the marvellous progresses that the Cuban people have made since the triumph of the revolution, struggles still continue.
