Here’s a song for all the fake hobos.

Una canción para el baile de máscaras.

 

What is a human without a soul?

Just another beast.

 

And what is a soul without passion?

Only an empty room.

 

And what is a world without love?

A rain-swept rutting ground.

 

And what is a life without death?

Nothing more than existence.

 

Sing to me from your fugitive soul.

Cantarme de nuestra muerte.

 

Sing to me from behind the mask.

 

Sing a song of your passion.

 

Sing to me of death.

Yeh, it's got a feel of windswept grandeur. Like it                    Elsie

Hi Elsie. Or grandiose. Could be one of my weaknesses. It's because I like to gaze at the stars. Rusty old beer cans on a midden have their allure, but I always end up laying looking up at the stars. Hope you're well and still clinging on down in stormy Devon. x

Yeh I'm well and I have not got flooded though about 10 houses nearer the beach have.

Both the author and the publisher of In the Day have been pleased with my review of the book for Recovery Devon and I have had good e-mails from them. That's the positive aspect of a community writing site such as Abc we all communicate with one another as friends, it is not big and impersonal in the way that some of the 'main players' such as Waterstones may well be.          Elsie

Hi Elsie. I couldn't agree more.There's so much more to this site. I read Kevin's book last week and have been recommending it on Facebook. It's a hell of a read. That's the other side of ABCtales. Great reading.
