What the world needs now is love sweet love. Listening to the song. How can one disagree with the idea, but just because I am feeling like being a rebel, I wrote a poem about it. Below you can find the lyrics of the song too. 

Valentine's Day at Mt. Diablo

We used to visit
my great grandmother
in the village of Badbar
in the season of summer
I would say I am hungry
I would say cook fast
she would turn lovingly
and sing back to me
this is not the city
we have to collect logs
and set them alight
only then can we cook
to fill your appetite
I remember her words
my great grandmother
there was so much
to learn from her
Singing lights the fire
to fill soul's hunger

- The purpose of life is to sing

There is another sky,
Ever serene and fair,
And there is another sunshine,
Though it be darkness there;
Never mind faded forests, Austin,
Never mind silent fields -
Here is a little forest,
Whose leaf is ever green;
Here is a brighter garden,
Where not a frost has been;
In its unfading flowers
I hear the bright bee hum:
Prithee, my brother,
Into my garden come!


Hukam Rajai
In Emily's garden
there is poetry
among this poetry
the sky is serene
the sun shines
leaves are evergreen
bees are bright
and so are flowers
Emily is Hukam Rajai

IOTA SUBSCRIPT

Seek not in me the big I capital,
Nor yet the little dotted in me seek.
If I have in me any I at all,
‘Tis the iota subscript of the Greek.

So small am I as an attention beggar.
The letter you will find me subscript to
Is neither alpha, eta, nor omega,
But upsilon which is the Greek for you.

- Robert Frost


Love

It takes setting aside I.
It takes getting subdued in You.
Be more interested than interesting.
Be smitten in the dark by morning due
Speak as sweet as strawberry cakes
Shiv, that is what love takes

-Shiv

IOTA SUBSCRIPT 

Singing Lies

Sade wal mukhra mor pyareya, sade wal mukhra mor
Turn Your face towards us O Beloved. Turn Your face towards us.

Aape hi tu kundiyaan laiyaan
Aape khichnayen dor
Sade wal mukhra…

You Yourself have locked us in.
You alone are pulling us towards Yourself. O Beloved, turn Your face towards us.

Ishk day mare avain Phirde
jiven jangal dor

Arsh farash to bangan miliyaan
Makke pe gaya shor. Sade wal mukhra …

I have received the divine message from the earth and heaven (from within and without)
In Mecca (the holy place) an uproar has been created. O Beloved, turn Your face towards us.

Doli pake le chale khere
Ujar na chalda jor. Sade wal mukhra…

The Kheres are taking away (heer) after putting her in the palanquin.
She does not have any control. O Beloved, turn Your face towards us.

Je maae tenu khere pyare
Doli pa kise hor. Sade wal mukhra….

O mother if the Kheres are dear to you,
Put someone else in the palanquin. O Beloved, turn Your face towards us.

Bullehshah asi marna naahi
Mar jaave koi hor. Sade wal mukhra….

Bulleh Shah says, I am not going to die.
Some one else has died. O Beloved, turn Your face towards us.

I recently received a beautiful gift for the holiday season -- a multilingual song of unity recorded by three outstanding musicians: Kristine Failla, Akim Jensch, and Yann SolMar. Kristine says that, in a way, the purpose of life is to sing ... its a great way to show our co-inhabitants of this "One Earth" that we see the common thread in our lives, no matter how different we are. I really enjoyed listening to the song. And even more so because Kris is a friend and has a heart of gold. And from the sound of it, Akin and Yann same to be made from the same clay. My favorite parts were when all three of them join together to sing in the end ... "Imagine". I hope you will listen to it and enjoy it as much:




In the words of Kristine Failla:

I uploaded a song today that I am SO proud of. It's a collaboration with my German friend Akim Jensch, and my French friend Yannick SolMar. We each wrote a verse, and we each sing in our own language. It's a message of worldwide unity.

Akim wrote and recorded a beautiful progression on acoustic guitar as only he can, and he later added some beautiful complementary guitar parts. Then Yannick added a mournful guitar lead and the melody that he and Akim sing. I wrote the melody I sang - I would have been happy to use Yannick's beautiful melody, but I would have had to sing opera :-).

Here's the translation:

Verse 1 - written and sung in French by Yannick:
"I spend hours wondering whether
we could live together in peace
one day and this night.
I spend hours wondering whether
I must let it be or fight for this Utopia.
However this dream they want all to make it
Except to want to take advantage of misery.
Carry the earth like a flag.
Let it wave everywhere at the top of our buildings
And let us all sing the same hymn,
"imagine"."

Verse 2 - written and sung in German by Akim:
"Sometimes I ask myself whether it is possible
that mankind doesn't fight against each other, but understands each other;
that for one day and one night
the noise of rifles and guns takes a rest once.
What can I do that this utopia may happen
and no human being has to flee from another one?
The Earth is our flag,
let it wave above us for all people!
Not to seperate, but to lead this life together!
Imagine, imagine!"

Verse 3 - Written and sung in English by Kristine:
"I don’t know why we’ve drawn these lines between us.
What if we tried to erase the lines and start again?
Could we find a little common ground between us?
Each of us one link in Earth’s one chain...
They say from outer space,
There’s just one Earth, one human race.
There is some common ground, I know
One vision we share, one hope
To build a world where our babies can grow
