Moshiach Now (Dor HaSh’vi’i)

Moshiach Now (Dor HaSh’vi’i)

Things we are Who we want to be We’ve gotten this far, So it’s gotta be Something in the water, The kashe, the song The mashke, Break the bong Growing strong. Say l’chaim, Zog *****, Joyous and free, Alas, inhibition sets in, The mind cools the heart. Contemplate the One, Accept there’s none, Seek refuge, Think to feel, Feel to do, Do to feel, To think, To bring Moshiach now.

Quiet Desperation (There’s Love)

Quiet Desperation (There’s Love)

I. Quiet desperation. The cry of a nation, Fleeing from starvation, Plagued by assimilation, Rip tide current, He shoots bullets from a turret, Greater light through it II. Quiet desperation, Faceless bochrim pacing, Fingernail clippings, Facial hair trimmings, Primping, Getting dolled up. III. Conflicting desires, I’m working, I’m fighting, I’m battling, When I’m living truth, I want to see truth. IV. Inspiration comes, Inspiration goes, Fanning the flames.

Sorry, for the moment, Grateful, for the courage, Climbing gradually, Albeit habitually. II. Explode! With honesty, Travel! Exponentially, We’re in this city, You, add the beauty. Think of something special, Something…confidential, Candid, Celebrate the moment, Admit, That you want it.

Flying

Flying

Teach me how to fly, I’ll spread my wings and go. I’ll be fine, I’ll find my way home. Standing on the edge, Of time and space. Where universes collide, You and I, Must try, To exemplify each other.

Shacharis in 770

Shacharis in 770

I. Flames of youth, Screaming truth, Praying in the doorways, Piling the halls. Clad in robes and shawls, And modern-day turbans. Gloriously crowned, By the powerful woman. Broken and beaten, Many times before, Victory through miracles, Stories, galore. Green glass bottles, Of culture, Sparkling brilliantly, Toward the future. Warmness, Effulgent Jew, Toughness, Ringing true. Infinite light, Pushing through, Heart contrite, To be, for You. II. Where I want to be, Where I’m not, Call it home, Taste and see. Droning…
