the town
looks good from a distance
the towns
looks good from afar
the town
looks friendly
from your window
the town
looks happy
from your car

have you had
your fifteen minutes?
have you given
birth to art?
do you feel
content within it?
did your empire
fall apart?

this town
is sunshine and lipstick
and life
pulsating in girls
on days
like this it´s a daydream
a wind
without any whirls

i ride on
magnificent sunwaves
i surf on
an ocean of light
i longed
for this
beautiful season
of clear days
so painless and bright

i´ve learned
to appreciate freedom
the best
education is free
i cherish
my life in this kingdom
i celebrate
this victory
