Kid Ego

[tora]

Haven't been writing in quite a while but now kid ego is back.
Just thought I'd share these thoughts with you.And please,don't you smile at a crocodile
Strolling back to the past,first of all this is an old creation.I wrote it about a year before.

Selfish

I’ve got a high self-esteem
So proud of the one and only me
Proud of everything I do
Proud of everything I say
Don’t you spoil my day

I’ve got my personal religion coz I hate the common vision
Don’t set your lousy rules for me
I follow only my own laws
And they’re above all yours

My own world
My own land
My own water
My own bread
My own life
My own dream
My own pride
My own peace
I know what you think
I… don’t you know I’m selfish
I… don’t you know I’m selfish
Selfish like you

I’ve got my own destination
And I long for a self-dedication
I deserve to be loved
Can you call a reason why
You’re any better than I

My own world
My own land
My own water
My own bread
My own life
My own dream
My own pride
My own peace
That’s what I know you think
You… don’t you know you’re selfish
You… don’t you know you’re selfish
Selfish like me

Now these are the newest ones.

Mirror

Well, I’m looking in the mirror
Well, I don’t think it’s me
It’s like some other person
Staring back at me
Well, I see those lips are moving
But I can hear no sound
And I wonder what you’re saying
Can’t you speak out loud?

But I wouldn’t believe you
And I know it isn’t true
There should be someone else behind you

Well, you’re trying to imitate me
Well, I don’t think you can
Although your lips are moving
There’s no sound again

And I don’t believe you
Coz I know it isn’t true
There must be someone else behind you

Who are you?
Each time I look in the mirror I see you there instead of me
Who am I
If all the time I look in the mirror I see you there instead of me

You follow me
You stare at me
You look like me
But you’re not what I’m supposed to be

P.S.The following one was written today.
It’s When…

Would you expect me to respond with mutuality?
And you believe you’ve figured me out
Well, we all happen to be of the same speciality
Wearing a mask we cannot do without

So you’re wondering when
The end actually began
But you better realise
You’ve been just dreaming
There had been no beginning

It’s when the Chinese start eating with a fork
It’s when the sun starts rising up in the north
It’s when the African bushmen put on an evening dress
It’s when… it’s when
I bet you better guess

Don’t you rely upon that elusive smile
It could be a bait set up for a prey
It might turn into a sarcastic grin in a while
A masterpiece of mockery, a highlight of the day

But you wonder when it’s time
I come to change my mind
But you better realise
You’re just wasting your life
The truth cuts like a knife

It’s when an American president suddenly becomes a monk
It’s when the Pope is a Godfather from Hong Kong
It’s when the mountains walk towards Muhammed
It’s when… it’s when…
I think I’ve already said

It’s when the Chinese rather start eating with a fork
It’s when the sun decides to be rising up in the north
It’s when an African bushman puts on an evening dress
It’s when… it’s when…
I bet you’ll never guess

Bravo!!!!!!!

These are wonderful Tora. I like them...keep them coming.

Funny....I have seen the Chinese eat with a fork...and I love their banquets.

 

[Amos Stevens]

Thanks Tora!

at times, and wondered the same thing, who is this
stranger looking back at me! Excellent Tora!!

Kid Ego is back again.My freshest thing.

Man And God

Once man had a chat with God
He wanted to speak his mind out
And God said: “You’re welcome, man,
I’ll listen and I’ll understand.”

Why God oh why
You’re so much better than I
Hey man oh man
If you were me you’d understand

Man said: “I can change the world,
and I can make it rise and fall
I can wear a golden crown…
God said: “I have to write it down”

Man said: “I make the rivers flow my way,
I can turn the night into day,
and I can even make a better plan…”
God said: “Well, I bet you can.”

Why God oh why
whatever I say you’re not surprised
Hey man oh man
If you were me you’d understand

Man said: “I can make the world follow me
and I can bring the justice to my knees
I can make a deal to sell my soul…”
God said: “I’m not surprised at all”

And man said: “I can rule the sky
now that I’ve learned to fly
Now I’m gonna getcha indeed…
God said: “Look, there’s no ground under your feet”

Why God oh why
you like to hit me between the eyes
Hey man oh man
If you were me you’d understand

Just something I would share.Some thoughts that crossed my mind some time ago.

Chameleon

Chameleon, won’t you share with me a secret how it feels to pretend all the way
I guess if it’s not built on trust it’s got nothing to do with the time to be on your side
Chameleon, out of all your roles which is your best one that you prefer to play
I guess when you’re playing a nice guy people say some good things about you, it touches your pride

Tell me how you feel
I wanna know how you feel
Do you ever have a feeling
of being a fake, of being unreal
Show me your true face
I wanna know what it is
You always look like a victim
but you must be a beast underneath

Chameleon, when you look in the mirror do you see your genuine self staring back at you
or do you see who you pretend to be, when you go to bed do you ever forget who you really are
Chameleon, how do you know for sure when you think you love someone that it’s true
I guess when you face something real you’re much to scared to unveil true face of your heart

Chorus:

Tell me why you’re hiding your face
Is this your method of self-defense
while getting adopted to a circumstance
Tell me, do you have a secret place
where you can be yourself and not afraid
where you can do without this masquerade

Hey chameleon, if you know how to prove me wrong
then I might be as well a chameleon

Funmaker

Take your time
to have some fun
while he has the curtain up
He’ll entertain you
He’ll turn you on
make you laugh without a stop

He always tries to please you all
He wants to give you all you take
That famous joker you all know
who puts a smile upon each face
And everybody thinks he’s funny
but he never shows the world
that he doesn’t find it funny at all

Take your time
to feel the joy
until he puts the curtain down
He’ll entertain you
as you go on
crashing slowly to the ground

He always tries to please you all
He wants to give you all you take
That famous joker you all know
who’s being everybody’s friend
And everybody thinks it’s funny
but he never shows the world
that he doesn’t find it funny at all

That famous joker you all know
who puts a smile upon each face
He’s wasting everything he owns
just to give you what you take
And you believe this is funny
He’s got another point of view
He doesn’t find it funny as you do

Take your time…

I really, really liked The Chameleon and The Funmaker, Tora. Normally my mind doesn't quite grasp these types of things, but I understood and appreciated these two in particular. They remind me of someone special. Thanks, Tora.

 

[Amos Stevens]

Very nice Tora,thanks

 

[Jules]

The Joker reminds me of you Tora....you always know how to make me smile when I am down.

I’ve got my own destination

You’re any better than I

Be careful 'cos' it seems that soon you'll say: my precccccciouuuuusssss.....

You say first,Pantera

I really, really liked The Chameleon and The Funmaker, Tora. Normally my mind doesn't quite grasp these types of things, but I understood and appreciated these two in particular. They remind me of someone special. Thanks, Tora.

I usually write stuff like that being on the verge of some realization and sometimes I'm a little scared people might take it the wrong way...but very often I catch myself at the thought that if I looked at the situation from somebody's point of view I would understand...I try to be universal but most of the time I'm way too confusing.I'm glad you appreciated them though.

The Joker reminds me of you Tora....you always know how to make me smile when I am down.

I do feel like that sometimes,mind you believe it or not...But it gives me a lot of pleasure when I make people laugh and think too sometimes.

 

[pantera]

You say first,Pantera

Damn, you set me up again
You're tricky girl, aren't you!

 

[tora]

Simply I've got a mind like a tree
