Na de grote hitte van vandaag eens nagedacht over wat de wereld zonder zon zou zijn.
Ster der hemel
De hitte, zo verzengend,
Warmte, bron van licht,
Dit alles, zo verstrengeld,
Is wat zij tot ons richt.
De zon, de zon,
Toch een der velen,
Maar tegelijk toch zo uniek,
In onze ogen,
Is zij veredeld,
Meer dan een ster, zo magnifiek.
Wat zouden wij toch moeten,
Zonder zon, met niets
Dan aarde, duister koude,
Slechts een licht op je fiets.
Het duister, ondoordringbaar,
Geen licht, uitzichtloos.
De koude, onvoorstelbaar,
Maakt alles hard en broos.

LUCHTDICHT: Some body
In mijn ogen zijn wij als mensen elkaar veel te veel aan het beoordelen op uiterlijk en andere factoren die niets te maken hebben met waar we eigenlijk naar zouden moeten kijken. Vandaar de volgende tekst.
Some Body
The past has proven to us that we like to think we know,
Everything of anyone, and that we want to show,
We’re superior over everyone who might just be around,
And so we can do to them whatever we may want…
It took me some time before I realized,
You can’t judge a girl by the color of her eyes.
The color of her hair, or the color of her skin,
You can’t judge someone by the body they live in.
Religion is a danger, or so say the atheists,
Christians accuse muslims, with an angry shaken fist,
The straight accuse the gay of simply being wrong,
A girl becomes a slut if she likes to wear a thong.
It took me some time before I realized,
You can’t judge a girl by the color of her eyes.
The color of her hair, or the color of her skin,
You can’t judge someone by the body they live in.
Why do people find it hard to accept a difference?
Try to live with anyone, and give the new a chance!
We all got the same world out of our parents’ hands,
To pass on to our children, not for an offence!
It took me some time before I realized,
You can’t judge a girl by the color of her eyes.
The color of her hair, or the color of her skin,
You can’t judge someone by the body they live in.

LUCHTDICHT: Sunny looks
Zojuist, in de warmte van de opkomende zon, een nieuw tekstje geschreven. Wellicht iets donkerder dan de titel doet vermoeden, maar de boodschap zou positief moeten zijn...
Sunny looks
It’s sad to see you’re feeling down,
No hope remaining in your heart.
But trust in me, a day will dawn,
And bless you with a brand new start!
The morning comes as the night glides off,
The rising sun sends warmth, my love.
Although it’s dark and quiet now,
Time will show you light somehow!
When all you see is just pitch black,
And think there’s only one way out,
Remember then, that, if you check,
Relief can come from just a shout!
The morning comes as the night glides off,
The rising sun sends warmth, my love.
Although it’s dark and quiet now,
Time will show you life somehow!
