sooo... not too many posts here I see. here we go. the picture does not belong to me, i got it off the internets. it was painted by an amazing artist named Marta Dahlig. more of her here. 1 line is in Hungarian, "De azt hiszem hogy tudtsz," "De azt hiszem, tudod" it means, "But I think you know."

In Africa are lions
Banana trees, there zebras trod
There's grass and sun and smiles
De azt hiszem, tudod


In Africa, my dear
Where civilization all began
Where great mathematicians
Calculated the orbit of the sun


Where people loved and hated
Some happily, some sadly
Who worked, who felt, who died
From whom we moved on gladly


Into the metal age, to Facebook
To Twitter, Google Chrome and Flash
Mozilla Firefox and Java
A pseudo-techno-rush


In Africa are lions
And in our lives -- no change
Like Aztecs and the Mayans
We hunger power, fame, we're strange


Like Feudal Japan ninjas
We want companionship, love
We all want to be happy
All know it can be tough


A Ninja Master told me
Expect the unexpected
And I have tried my best
To honor and accept it


That in Africa are lions
On seashores there are waves
And beautiful women
Still set men's hearts ablaze


So relax, my friend, relax
It's going to be all right
For our time is our chance
To work and feel and fight

I think poetry has seen better days

P.S. "De azt hiszem hogy tudtsz," it means, "But I think you can (usually connected to doing something)"

Oh yeye, should've been De azt hiszem, tudod. But oh well. Thanks for pointing out, though. Hey, at least the painting is nice.
