newly arrived to the Western Country:
ekskuseh mooah, zhevoozomprih,
got no music or art, but packed with TNT!"

Subject: [LUTE] OT: Dalza's Lament
A lutanist by the name Dalza
got tired of just playing salsa
he saw the New Year
would just bring more fear
and went to shoot rockets in Gaza
An oud player from Palestine
was minding his own thing just fine
but in came the Jew
his homeland he blew
so now he is planting a mine
A luter from Jerusalem
was playing a renaissance gem
while his Arab friend
saw death without end
Barak said: Its not us, its them
A young musician from Bagdad
was spending this day rather sad
could not understand
US on his land
felt justly, the world has gone mad
While westerners hail the New Year
too many are living in fear
and U. S. of A
are using each day
to further their own, far and near
Lute players of this world unite
protest 'gainst this display of might
how can you debate
and just celebrate
when Near East is burning tonight?
Time's come now to leave our cocoon
and stop serenading the moon
if we do not fight
against what's not right
it all will catch up with you soon
So please, please, I beg, for Gods sake
dear luteplayers here: Do awake!
Cry our against lies
and don't shut your eyes
I wonder how long that will take?
