Πλανήτης Γη...

Planet Earth, my home, my place
A capricious anomaly in the sea of space
Planet Earth are you just
Floating by, a cloud of dust
A minor globe, about to bust
A piece of metal bound to rust
A speck of matter in a mindless void
A lonely spacship, a large asteroid
Cold as a rock without a hue
Held together with a bit of glue
Something tells me this isn't true
You are my swweetheart soft and blue
Do you care, have you a part
In the deepest emotions of my own heart
Tender with breezes caressing and whole
Alive with music, haunting my soul.
In my veins I've felt the mystery
Of corridors of time, books of hisotry
Life songs of ages throbbing in my blood
Have danced the rhythm of the tide and flood
Your misty clouds, your electric storm
Were turbulent tempests in my own form
I've licked the salt, the bitter, the sweet
Of every encounter, of passion, of heat
Your riotous color, your fragrance, your taste
Have thrilled my senses beyond all haste
In your beuaty, I've known the how
Of timeless bliss, this moment of now
Planet Earth are you just
Floating by, a cloud of dust
A minor globe, about to bust
A piece of metal bound to rust
A speck of matter in a mindless void
A lonely spacship, a large asteroid
Cold as a rock without a hue
Held together with a bit of glue
Something tells me this isn't true
You are my swweetheart gentle and blue
Do you care, have you a part
In the deepest emotions of my own heart
Tender with breezes caressing and whole
Alive with music, haunting my soul.
Planet Earth, gentle and blue
With all my heart, I love you.

THE SELF-CONFIDENCE OF THE WARRIOR IS NOT THE SELF-CONFIDENCE OF THE AVERAGE MAN.
THE AVERAGE MAN SEEKS CERTAINTY IN THE EYES OF THE ONLOOKER AND CALLS THAT SELF-CONFIDENCE.
THE WARRIOR SEEKS IMPECCABILITY IN HIS OWN EYES AND CALLS THAT HUMBLENESS.
THE AVERAGE MAN IS HOOKED TO HIS FELLOW MEN.
WHILE THE WARRIOR IS HOOKED ONLY TO INFINITY.
 
Η αυτοπεποίθηση του πολεμιστή δεν είναι η αυτοπεποίθηση του μέσου άντρα.
Ο μέσος άντρας αναζητά σιγουριά στα μάτια του θεατή και το αποκαλεί αυτοπεποίθηση.
Ο πολεμιστής επιδιώκει το αναμάρτητο στα μάτια του και καλεί αυτή την ταπεινότητα.
Ο μέσος άντρας είναι δεμένος με τους συναδέλφους του.
Ενώ ο πολεμιστής είναι δεμένος μόνο στο άπειρο.
