All this war almost everywhere you look
that is going on and on
and all they can gain
is to set us back in time
with no future left
to dream about
The Earth is turning
and the blood is drying
stop this burning fire
All this talk about peace
and the rising taxes
and the only way they want
to use the money
is more powerful weapons
and greater plans
with deadly intentions
who is responsible for this chaos
one thing is sure
we are all a little bit guilty
Start using your senses
and get rid of the crazy men
who are sitting in their leather chairs
spreading out all this fear
don't be afraid
you have the right to set the people free
start up now
it will be very easy
it will be too late when they stab you in the back
one more time with their lies
you are not alone
come on come on
it is time
we have to get rid of the crazy men
before they get rid of us
All this crazy war almost everywhere in the world
when will we stop producing
mines guns aerocrafts tanks bombs warships rockets
and when will we stop selling
what we already got in our overfilled stores
so we finally can get some peace
Long time ago
we were childhood friends
we spent nights and days
trying to break away
and we had a lot of crazy fun
You have to know
with dope
there is no hope
We took all the chances
and had many
great romances
until we met the Dragon Lady
We got older
but we did not get wiser
soon no one of us
could be trusted
because we denied to learn
from our mistakes
We got separated
and one day I heard that you
had tried to fly like a dream-bird
but you crashed down into
the hard and waiting ground
beside the public toilet seat
Then I found out
what this life is about
and I am telling you this now
you got to know
with Dope
there is no hope
no hope at all
Long time ago
we were the best friends
but it all came to a very cruel end
you died with a dirty needle in your arm
and there was nothing I could do
to save you
we were childhood friends
we spent nights and days
trying to break away
and we had a lot of crazy fun
You have to know
with dope
there is no hope
We took all the chances
and had many
great romances
until we met the Dragon Lady
We got older
but we did not get wiser
soon no one of us
could be trusted

- What do you want to write a poem about? For our example poem, we'll write about a country called Djbouti.
- Begin your opening paragraph for your poem. For example: "Off the coast of Africa, Is a country that exports no paprika. No cows, no geese, no flocks of sheep, Djibouti's income is rather cheap."
- Continue into your moral of the story, if there is one. If not, just continue on explaining about it. "If you go to Dijibouti, don't expect to find much water. For from there and here, it is much hotter! Don't look for a creek with a river otter, 'cuz you won't find it, not when there's no water!
- Something not to do? Keep repeating!! You usuallly shouldn'treuse a word in one stanza. But, if you look at the example above, you will see that I used 'water' twice and it sounded OK. So use your best judgement. And don't keep on going and going with words that rhyme. It's great to rhyme for a little while, but then you need to move on to the next stanza and start a new set of rhyming words. For example: "Do not go to Djibouti, If you're looking for a booty. For if you look up Djbouti, In a very nice big muti, You will find that Djbouti, While looking in a muti, is not a place to go to find your booty.
Clearly I remember
we belonged together
how could I ever forget
that you loved me
Long long time ago
I was a boy in love
and I threw it all away
just because I wanted to play
Spending most of the time
just running around
and around
wishing I could set the time
back to those wonderful days
Many years have gone
but every night I
have the same dream
holding you tight
waiting for the morning light
Wondering what you
feel for me today
would you be shocked
if I came to your door
and asked you to let me in
don't be afraid
it will never happen
because I don't dare to do it
afraid of loosing
my dream
If you understand
what I am talking about
don't stay at home
go out and find and fight
for your lost love
don't wait for a man
who is too afraid
that he should lose his face
if he ever came close
to you again
it is not a shame
to take the first step
and to try
to make it work again
Clearly I remember
we belonged together
how could I ever believe
that I would forget
someone like you
my only love
we belonged together
how could I ever forget
that you loved me
