Dwindles
The Euphrates dwindles up and my lover cries!
But what can i do to stop her tears from running down?
For i am a man of virtue and i love her;
But the Euphrates River dwindles up! !
And the gifts of her silver and gold are no use for us today.

Bananas For Three
Love will help me know my colour,
Love will help me know my name,
This city wall is all around me;
Love can help me know my colour,
Love can help me know my name,
This city wall is around you too.
Listen to the sage of the Bard around you,
Listen to the Bard from the four winds of love;
Life is like dancing in my undertrousers.
I have bananas for three to enlighten you,
Like black and white playing with my love;
I have bananas for three beyond the Euphrates River,
Like living in the Valley of Romance with my sweet lover.
I am standing between heaven and earth,
True love is all that i need in this world;
Like banana for three from my creative artistry.
On this earth, the Kings rule and misrule;
But, i have my life in the Valley of peace.
Beyond the Euphrates River with bananas for three,
This world is all that we have now to share;
Like life in the Vallley of Love to all mankind.

Silver And Gold
Silver, silver and gold
Silver and gold, silver and gold
Ev'ryone wishes for silver and gold
How do you measure its worth?
Just by the pleasure it gives here on earth.
Silver and gold, silver and gold
Mean so much more when I see
Silver and gold decorations
On ev'ry Christmas tree.
Silver, silver and gold
Silver, silver and gold
Silver and gold
Silver and gold
Silver and gold
Wise men brought gifts to the mange I'm told
Mary was humble to see
Shepherds and kings there on bended knees
It's silver and gold, silver and gold
Feeling the world with their lives
Silver and gold how they shimmer on ev'ry Christmas night
On ev'ry Christmas night
Silver, silver and gold

River Euphrates
Ride, ride, ride, ...
Stuck here out of gas
Out here on the gaza strip
From driving in too fast
Lets ride the tiger down river euphrates
Ride, ride, ride, ...
Dead sea make it float
One sip from the salty wine
Dead sea make you choke
Lets ride the tiger down river euphrates

Leticia
To the wilderness of love i do extend my greetings,
So do not fear!
But stand still and see to the salvation of Yahweh.
Leticia, i will do anything for your sweet love;
And from the river of Egypt to the great river Euphrates,
I will be there for you always.
You have taught me many things and,
We have to share with one another towards the future;
For i will always meet you at the ford of Yabbok for your love.
Sleep departed from my eyes without a clue,
For your love was like a dream to me;
And i will always meet you there.

Ado
He entered into the midst of the cloud of love and,
His name Ado was all over my face;
And i am now floatinf with my mind around the Red Sea.
To the River of Euphrates i want to salute,
And of the dancing of lovers to see at last;
For the flowers are ready to sing a love song.

My Own
I found her by a spring of water in the desert and,
I took her to be my own;
And in the heat of the day,
She became what i was looking for.
Of a smoking fire pot and,
Of a dove and a young pigoen;
And deep sleep fell unto man,
And out of him came woman.
Behold! She's with child and,
She submitted herself to me to learn more;
And from the river of Egypt to the great river Euphrates!
Rest my love,
Rest under my tree of love my sweet one;
For you are now very tired with your load.

Machinery For Raising Water
Great passage of water
Through pipes, branching from the Euphrates:
That was Nebuchadnezzar's gift to his twerking wife Amytis,
Who longed for trees,
Who longed for Medea,
And its heady fragrance.
Strabo's map of the world,
Going all the way to India,
In 17 volumes it is said,
Was a product of his squinty eyes,
So closely set he could watch Babylon from Athens.
He could also see the back of his thining hair,
Like a hare,
And divined the sizes of the sun and the moon,
With which he discussed with Augustus,
Over black wine,
That as well as the mysterious perfection of Imperialism,
While Augustus drooled
And the Empire slopped up his spit,
Just like the pipes
Driving high
The gangly waters of the Euphrates.

The Red Cap
To drink the waters of love,
To drink the waters of Sihor,
To drink the waters of the Euphrates River!
And like food for your birds and love for your pets,
But the red cap is very important to you;
So, i have to put it on always for to identify me among the lot.

Last Love
The first flower of the spring is not so fair
Or bright, as one the ripe midsummer brings.
The first faint note the forest warbler sings
Is not as rich with feeling, or so rare
As when, full master of his art, the air
Drowns in the liquid sea of song he flings
Like silver spray from beak, and breast, and wings.
The artist's earliest effort wrought with care,
The bard's first ballad, written in his tears,
Set by his later toil seems poor and tame.
And into nothing dwindles at the test.
So with the passions of maturer years
Let those who will demand the first fond flame,
Give me the heart's last love, for that is best.

View
A man,
More rare than fine gold;
Mankind,
More scarce than the pure gold of Ophir;
But when will this great tribulation start?
Formed from the womb and killed to be buried in the tomb,
But those days should be shortened for us to gain the end.
Open the Book and see the light,
Enslaved for 400 years! !
Like a kingdom which is shaken all around.
Humility,
Of our sins of the past to make change for the better;
Like Aids(1981) and HIV catching up to the human race.
Oh, how my mind rests on the mountain of Olives;
And like the days of Noah,
A reed like a measuring rod is needed for survival.
Land, water, air!
The warning labels to us all to learn like a student;
But hidden from the view of many without hope.
This point of view is desirable for food,
This act of love id hidden from a view,
But around the great river Euphrates came the war!

where are your powers Babylon?
Illustrious Babylon
where are your powers now?
city of fame
city of gold and silver
city of a famous name
where are your powers now?
city of wonders
empire of sin
Babylon
city of ruins
mighty Babylon
city of prowess
empire of old
empire of supremacy
rich with stolen gold
where are you now?
city of the hanging gardens
city holding the righteous captive
where are your powers Babylon?
city of desolate wastes
ferocious Babylon
look out over the valley
Cyrus the great of Persia
with his army of men
and Darius the Mede
with his army of men
diverting the great river Euphrates
and sneaking under your walls
your 'impenetrible walls
Babylon
city of ruins
Where are your powers
King Nebuchadnezzar?
your colossal gate is open
your subjects are drunk
drunk with wine and blood
unaware of approaching destruction
living their normal course of life
where are you now Babylon?
heaped in ruin and desolation
...forever
now just a dry desert plain
and the wind goes...hush...

The Last Warning
The last warning,
It will actually be a third part of man;
The last warning,
It will actually be a fourth part of the earth;
The last warning,
It will actually be in and around the great Euphrates River!
The last warning,
It will actually be by nuclear war and famine! !
So be very much informed about it.

Awuah
Of the land of olive oil and honey,
One witness is not enough to convict a man accused of a crime;
But, for the mouth of two people do tell it all for a case.
Awuah, the truth is always known by many;
For a picture is worth a thousand words than a letter.
From Lebanon and to the great river Euphrates,
And from Kadesh Barnea to Gaza;
Be very strong and very courageous at all times!

Upper West Side Manhattan The Atlas Girl Leans On Me
In the forest of skycrapers
Your bright white dress
A broken wing
A blackberry juice
The archangel Gabriel
Under a cherry blossom tree
You lie down on the grass
On the Euphrates river
A gazelle
In a laurel wreath
Your sleeping sister's face
Your eyes like a dropp of water in the cloudy sky
Tomorrow at daybreak

Dont Stop
The clock is ticking, and Im here wishing
This new found love will find no end
Dont wanna feel, another feeling
Dont wanna know what time will send
I wanna stop, the earth from turning,
The rain from falling,
The wind from blowing
But dont stop (stop), the love from growing, keep that river flowing
We can find a way
Dont stop (stop), the love from showing
I dont want tomorrow, just give me today
Dont stop (stop), stop the hands of time
Hold back the time
And make forever, the same as the moment I felt your love
Youve touched my heart
Erase the pain, the memories, and mistakes I made
Stop, the earth from turning, the rain from falling, the wind from blowing
But dont stop (stop), the love from growing, keep that river flowing
We can find a way
Dont stop (stop), the love from showing
I dont want tomorrow, just give me today
Dont stop (stop), the flame from burning
Stop tomorrows hurting, from seeing the light
Dont stop (stop), my heart from beating
Keep the time from fleeting, into the night
Cant think about tomorrows fears, cause today is here to stay
Clear away all of yesterdays tears, theres nothing to block our way
Stop, the earth from turning, the rain from falling, the wind from blowing, the sun from shining
Cant find the reason, another season
Could never match a love so pleasin
Dont let it go, no, no, no, no, no
Dont stop (stop), the love from growing, keep that river flowing
We can find a way
Dont stop (stop), the love from showing
I dont want tomorrow, just give me today
Dont stop (stop), the flame from burning
Stop tomorrows hurting, from seeing the light
Dont stop (stop)
My heart from beating, keep the time from fleeting, into the night
Dont stop (stop), the love from growing, keep that river flowing
We can find a way
Dont stop (stop), the love from showing
I dont want tomorrow, just give me today
Dont stop the love, stop the time, another day, to keep you mine
Dont stop the love, stop the time, another, to keep you mine

God Bound Fallen Angels In The River Euphrates
From where is the dread trumpet call
blown, and at the command of who?
“The sixth angel sounded his shofar,
and I heard a voice from the four horns
of the gold altar before God” Revelation 9: 13
And what was the spoken order to the sixth angel?
“saying to the sixth angel, the one with the shofar, “Release the four
angels that are bound at the great river Euphrates! ”” Revelation 9: 14
And what woe were the bound fallen angels released to do?
“And they were released. These four angels
had been kept ready for this moment, for this
day and month and year, to kill a third of mankind; ” Revelation 9: 15
Thus are the days of the lesser and greater tribulation!
And so later
it came to pass,
in the time of
the pouring out,
on the earth, the seven
bowls; of God’s Fury.
At God’s command
the sixth angel
“poured out his bowl
upon the great river Euphrates,
and its water dried up,
in order to prepare the way
for the kings from the east.” Revelation 16: 12
The waters of life dried up!
What was revealed therein?
Released from waters of life!
“And I saw three unclean spirits
that looked like frogs; they came
from the mouth of the dragon,
from the mouth of the beast and
from the mouth of the false prophet.” Revelation 16: 13
And what
pray tell,
were the three
unclean spirits,
and what was
their purpose?
“They are miracle-working demonic spirits
which go out to the kings of the whole inhabited
world to assemble them for the War of the Great
Day of ADONAI-Tzv’ot (Lord of Hosts) . Revelation 16: 14
(the Lord of Sabaoth) – Lord of (heaven’s) armies
Lord of Hosts) Romans 9: 29 Just as Isaiah told us.
To gather them together to the war
of the great day of God the Almighty. Amen.
