Let's Go Together

Wherever I go I see you people, I see you people just like me. And whatever you do, I want to do. And the Pooh and you and me together make three. Let's go together, Let's go together, Let's go together right now. Let's go together, Let's go together, Let's go together right now, Come on. Shall I go off and away to bright Andromeda? Shall I sail my wooden ships to the sea? Or stay in a cage of those in Amerika?? Or shall I be on the knee? Wave goodbye to Amerika, Say hello to the garden. So I see - I see the way you feel, And I know that your life is real. Pioneer searcher refugee I follow you and you follow me. Let's go together, Let's go together, Let's go together right now. Wave goodbye to Amerika, Say hello to the garden.

Poem: why learn a foreign language

why learn a foreign language

before being thrown out the window
walk out the door
being persona non-grata 
is a dream no more 
all languages are foreign there
except for Anglo-Saxon
but if you were born
on that side of the wall
keep out or let yourself back in
you can not be imprisoned
having committed no crime
having paid all taxes
not liable to a fine
go to where healthcare is free
where life has liberty
and with your ancestors be
as cancer consumes the American brain
flip the switch, pull the plug 
board the next train 
bound for glory
in a world away from
the death of democracy
overseas
where no language is foreign
