Blowing In The Wind

  

How many roads must a man walk down,

before you call him a man?

How many seas must a white dove fly,

before she sleeps in the sand?

And how many times must a cannon ball fly,

before they’re forever banned?

 

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,

the answer is blowing in the wind.

 

How many years can a mountain exist,

before it is washed to the sea?

How many years can some people exist,

before they’re allowed to be free?

And how many times can a man turn his head,

and pretend that he just doesn’t see?

 

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,

the answer is blowing in the wind.

 

How many times must a man look up,

before he sees the sky?

And how many ears must one man have,

before he can hear people cry ?

And how many deaths will it take till we know,

that too many people have died?

 

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,

the answer is blowing in the wind.

 

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,

the answer is blowing in the wind.

Botanischer Trichter

 

Pulsierende Gärten, getarntes

Areal: Signal um Signal versinnlicht

dir Fährten, und tappst du hinein,

zappt das Programm auf

 

Wachstum im Raffer (ein Fenster

von Millisekunden) eigentlich schöner Wild-

blumen, zahnweiß, Rosa

canina: Blüten vor allem, gefächerte

Massen, die aufblättern bei Eintritt

nachgeben und breit haften,

 

ein Nightswim in Styropor-

kugeln, nur zäher und merklich mehr

schmerzhaft an den Bissstellen, Mollusken, weiche

Todesstreifen: verlassen, aber technisch gereift und nie

außer Betrieb.
