Be crazy! Don't be afraid, the nice freedom
is only madness. Between our thoughts
we are jumping like prisoners, like a monkey
on the run, ropling his cage.
Be crazy! The goodness and peace
is only madness. What can be tidiness
sits down on your heart,
like sand in the river.
Be crazy! If someone barks you off, don't groan,
you can't win, but you will not be a loser
be as silly as death will be.
You must tell the truth
you will be good, strong, calm and free,
a tableguest in past and future.

What I hate the mmost
I want to leave home but
somebody is barking the dog
she is so loud that's why I
wanna die.
I step out the gate just to
start my journey
My head is burning
because the dog from the next door left
his pee on the path.
I'm over! My brain is jumping
I just meet with waiters laughing
coz we hate each other
they always bother
Me just because my ass.

Be a fool! Don't fret, it's not a crime, freedom is simply a foolish right. Inbetween our concepts, as captives we lie, like caged monkeys rattling at the bars of life.
Be a fool.Goodwill and peace- they're nothing but foolish dreams. If it will ever be in place, or organised, it will go like this, settled under your constant stream of wills.
Such a fool! If they quip in, don't dare show them fear, don't quit. Although it can't be won, it's not up for debate, be as pointlessly stupid as the death that will take.
Not a word you say will ring untrue, you will be good at this: strong and pure- a welcome guest in any line of sight.....

Be foolish! Never worry, freedom's trails
are for fools. Lost in our thoughts, we rage
We jump around like monkeys trapped in a cage
Fighting against its bars and rails.
Be foolish! Serenity and goodness
Are for fools. If you can keep order,
It'll settle on your heart to cover
it, as mud covers the rivers depth.
Be foolish! Whatever they say, stay a believer,
You'll never win, but you can't lose either.
Be as foolish as death itself.
You'll never speak an untrue word,
You'll be strong, untroubled and free as a bird,
A welcomed guest of future and past.

It's vexing
I'm standing in the subway.
It'll depart.I won't be late.
People think, they can get on.
People think, there are a lot
of place for them.
But no.
I feel like a herring in a bottle.

Be a fool! Don't be afraid the pretty freedom
is only foolish. We are jumping prisonors between our ideas,
like a frenzied monkey, how puuls the bas
out of cage.
Be a fool! Benovelence and peace
are just foolish. Which can be in order
will settle down over your heart,
like a river which carries its trash.
Be a fool! If they say bad thingy to you,
don't wabble!
You can't be neither the winner,nor the looser
Be as fool as the death!
You can never have a false world.
You will be right, strong, peaceful and free.
A guest at the table of the past and future.

Be a fool! Fear not; the beauty of freedom
is just for fools. We are only slaves
exchanged by our own ideals, like enraged apes
strangling the steel bars of their prison.
Be a fool! Kindness and peace
is only for fools. What will be an order
will settle over your heart to oppress,
like mud of the river in its bed.
Be a fool! If you are insulted, don't waver,
Though you will not win, you won't lose either.
Be as ignorant as death will be.
You will never have a false word -
you will be good, strong, peaceful and free,
a prized guest for both past and future.
