Last Descending Overtones

With each descending step I hear the beat
of sacrificial chants of those who know.
The stone is cold and grey beneath my feet.

The pungent smell is damp and bittersweet.
Within these halls the music seems to flow,
with each descending step I hear the beat.

The altar room is secret and discrete,
with eerie chants that truly seem to grow.
The stone is cold and grey beneath my feet.

Torn In Shreds

Mine is Gopal, the Mountain-Holder; there is no one else.
On his head he wears the peacock-crown: He alone is my husband.
Father, mother, brother, relative: I have none to call my own.
I've forsaken both God, and the family's honor: what should I do?
I've sat near the holy ones, and I've lost shame before the people.
I've torn my scarf into shreds; I'm all wrapped up in a blanket.
I took off my finery of pearls and coral, and strung a garland of wildwood flowers.
With my tears, I watered the creeper of love that I planted;
Now the creeper has grown spread all over, and borne the fruit of bliss.
The churner of the milk churned with great love.
When I took out the butter, no need to drink any buttermilk.
I came for the sake of love-devotion; seeing the world, I wept.
Mira is the maidservant of the Mountain-Holder: now with love He takes me across to the further shore.

No, Rock and Roll, this is how you do rock n' roll
Rockin' Ruby
Here's how you sing it
Well now I gotta girl now and Ruby is her name
Let's see I need some beat boys
Well this girl don't love me, but I love her just the same
Pick it up boys

Well now each time I see you, baby my heart cries

Well now I'm gonna steal you away from all those guys
Ruby Ruby Ruby Baby
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh
From the happy day I met you
I made a bet that I was gonna get you

When your team drops out, you make the ABA look bad.

The ABA works tirelessly in its efforts involving the first line of defense: the prevention of burn injuries.

I take my son to school and then I drive 45 minutes to practice with my ABA team, the Florida Pit Bulls, from 10 to 1. In the afternoon, I have meetings.

Your team has to understand that coming into the ABA, you have to have your investments right and sponsorships and people ready to give you money so they can back you up.

Aba Yaa

I am Aba Yaa and i am in love with you,
For you are my sunshine and my super-boy!
But like China-white and the lovers blues,
I will always be there for you like the American-red and the Italian-green.

I have perfumed my bed of roses with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon;
So come and let us drink deeply in love until the morning light,
For the delight of this love is all about you.

Revolution

Equal right we scream as we
march through the streets of
Aba, all our life we have wait
for this moment, when we shall
unleash our hunger.fire for fire, bang
for bang, we run this streets now
, with the keys in our hands bang
we release it and every one ran.
You have been pushing us around
now is time to give you a bit of
what we got, so take it like a man
.With this speed you can't stop us,
move before we run you down, cos
this street is ours.

The 9th President

I met Nicksan, Aba and Ezema on the way yesterday;
But their faces were full of fear! And, i did not know why?
Maybe, it was because of the 9th President.

The 9th President resigned yesterday and,
The people are in shock!
But watch your lips and never be offended;
Because life is full of surprises and,
We have to accept hiw views for resigning.

Life is like the Breezy Spines and,
I am here to take care of my lover;
Because she is confused as well and,
She can't understand why the President resigned.
