IRON BUTTERFLY IN- A-GADDA-DA-VIDA IN HD BEST FULL VERSION

multiple personalities and a joy to dysfunction

i am I and me and the other one,
my shadow,
the NON-I,
thinker, dreamer, man, woman, human, child
and as  such totally bored to be an adult
and to function an expected way.
i refuse, we refuse, all of us, me, I,
all who I am.

To be polite, patient, nice, constant,
reliable with a guarantee on my head,
preserved for hunters,
prepared to serve,
willing to win
or to die for a cause
or to suffer to be enlightened:
whatsoever you ask me, world,
i may disobey, we may disobey.

Neither will i choke on a tie
nor break my ankle with polished shoes
nor will i be as you think I am or must be.
we will never be.
we are all alive.
World, know, I am free, we are free.


We are unified the NON-I
and we are terrible in our play
as we do not follow rules
laid out in the book.
Unified we are NON-I,
cruel as children
and beautiful in  terror
as angels in their glory.

We are the vastness
of the universe,
crazy in life and love and death.
we know it is a game
when we pull God's veils.
We, the NON-I, the dreamer, the child.

And all the other ones with
their memories of hurt,
mistreated, deformed,
and all the other ones
who committed sin,
carried guilt,
washed in the water of our NON-I.
We know who we are
as one .

We know
that cripples are free
in the NON-I,
and our living presence
shines with the dust of stars
and in the silence of death
penetrating all sadness.
through and with life.

And we know,
the thinker, the man, the woman,
the human, the dreamer and the child
we know
that we cannot step on our shadow.

And only this
teaches us measure
and modesty.
I am happy to give
you this information today
as we are the daily news
from Radio Manonafence.


and if you ask me to love you,
we don't know if we can.
we have no space , no time,
no obligation,
we are children
of the NON-I.
