Sommarvinden oss smeka
i själ såväl som kropp
vår sturskhet skall beveka
i omsorgsfullt förlopp
Blåser ut vårt behov att trilska
likväl ett minsta gryn av ilska
Failing to convince while merely making others wince
You of course do rashly
pick your privy facts
later switch them brashly
as if artifacts
Using your strong proclivity
for causing others to wince
you lack all objectivity
thus keeps failing to convince
But so what? The paramount choice
may just be to hear your own voice?
Råd till en politiker
Om du önskar att bli folkvald
utbrodera en drömvärld
Säg lite, så blir du omvald,
om dagens sanna omvärld
För elektoratet
vill höra ‘plånboksvänlig’
Ligger dej i fatet
om alltför framstegsvänlig
Den typiske väljarn ej välinsatt
åt andras olycka oförskämd
Fastlåst mestadels i eget synsätt
över eget trivia nedstämd
Väljarens samvete länsat
i perspektiv begränsat
In ever changing world she charges banner unfurled
Meet dauntless Ellie Parker Dynes
who will not be hemmed in by confines
In an ever changing world
charges she, banner unfurled
She won’t just cheer on from the sidelines
Wars would have stalled if only Middle Aged were called
Urged on by (their voices shrill)
jingoistic sheeple
train Baby Faces to kill
die for other people
If instead us Middle Aged were called
many a war would surely have stalled
+)
sheeple = (derogatory, slang) people who unquestioningly accept as true whatever their political leaders say or who adopt popular opinion as their own without scrutiny
Mod till mått o steg eller för feg?
Det skapar ju ej förvandling
ordflöde tomt trots välsmort
Om vi saknar mod till handling
får väl kännas som förgjort?
Men att verkligen ta itu
då kan väl gå illa bevars
Nej tack, bevare oss, hu!
för vem av oss vill stå till svars?
Ingen! Ju mer man är en kruka
desto lättare att sej huka
Leeringly looting Lithiumania
What we all must bar
promptly, and here is why:
the electric car
due matter of supply
Frenzied Lithium mania
allowed us be led astray:
Looting Lithiumania
we just got carried away
We just can’t escape monomania
as part of our megalomania
+)
-Lithium = a crucial metal, that must be mined, for electric vehicle batteries
-Lithiumania = here: a fantasized country with rich Lithium mines
Frazzled by hooey on Life’s path screwy
On Life’s path screwy
held down in ennui
frazzled by hooey
Throw us a life buoy!
All the while mired in a massive flop
still dreaming of coming out on top
Us acting the buffoon? Yeah but, only once in a blue moon!
As we contribute zero
in these days the Poltroon
(not that intrepid Hero)
is the one we festoon
Though own lives uninspired
(both in dull play, work drudging)
we’d hoped to be admired
so now others begrudging
Were it only once in a blue moon
that we carried on like a buffoon!
Tig i tystnad å lyssna ej till lystnad
På nylig resa
blev jag utnött
upplevde nesa
känns tomt o trött
Var lite tid kvar
levs nog bäst i tystnad
I eget försvar:
lyssna ej på lystnad!
Att stulta hemma
så ålderspassande
kan knappt utskämma
bland annat svassande
Så koka i ro å lugn
potatisen på elugn
