Don´t have to
Don´t have to seek the ultimate Don´t have to strive for the top it damages your body and/or soul Don´t have to try to be the best Don´t have to carpe diem, you´ll burn the wick too quickly Don´t have to run a marathon every day, your hips won´t thank you Don ´t have to chase the girls like mad or go to a cave to live a life of a hermit Don ´t have to stay at work until late Don ´t have to make millions, that´ll only spoil your wife and kids Don ´t have to create another Sist

Works of art
10% of all the stuff is worth something 10% of this 10% might be brilliant You simply must produce in abundance Nature does it the same way Everywhere you look There´s so much average So much ugly So much dispensable But here and there You see a woman or a flower or a tree Of striking beauty You can´t tear your eyes form it You are mesmerised you are stricken This is it! this is love this is life this is God it doesn’t need any explanation any commentary any manual create lik

The brotherhood
When I read Buk or Schop It's like my twin talking Or me looking into a mirror It's like cogs in a watch fitting into each other It's true I've been bread on them But still The accordance is striking

Encounter of the day
I was sailing on a country lane Morning light just coming up Corn field being freshly harvested I saw a lonely little fawn by the road he was curiously staring at me me, a stupid monkey moving in a tin four-wheeler ´Nothing to envy´, I told him and went on

This is life!
Going out in the morning in a town of Mikšič to buy burka sir Mixing with the locals Felling the warmth Seeing the shabby concrete buildings Hearing the birds This is life This is it! This is it!

Little birdie
Little birdie, little birdie Who´s missing you? Little birdie, little birdie Who will resurrect you now? Little birdie, little birdie Why is your bride weeping? Little birdie, little birdie You were too daring You liked to challenge cars Playing the speed games Little birdie, little birdie You´ve been run over thousand times now You´ll be run over another thousand times Until you vanish in asphalt Little birdie, little birdie I mourn for thee You little precious dart Little b
