1.  Mangata

C  l  o  s  e

C  l  o  s  e  r

C  l  o  s  e  s  t

Comes the moon’s reflection tonight

To awaken the liberated minds that fell asleep

While waiting for the invisible to demonstrate its true light,

To awaken the territory of defiant hearts

That is misguided by random departures,

And with its silent rhythm,

Break the spell of random sunshine

That’s been influencing political rulers

To emboss dimes and nickels

With self-proclaimed anger;

A movement so naive

Will soon be taught to smother

The lifeless beings

And bring together

All wise, who had once decided to believe

In creation of a surreal museum

Called life.
