Techno Life Beat


There is nothing more that can be done

The list is winding down

The black and white of lights flashing

The colors swimming around people’s bodies.

Tonight is not just a pit of people dancing

It’s the ancient dance people praying.

The deep bass resonates with our heartbeats.

For a moment you are nothing but color and music

For a moment you are child and elder, wise man and fool.

For a moment the universe speaks to you using the beat.

It’s amazing

It’s amazing

It’s the only thing you can think as you sing along to a song you don’t know.

Tomorrow the world will be hard

Tomorrow the world will be harsh.

And it’s coming closer

Coming closer with the list winding down.

There is nothing more that can be done

There is nothing more to do.

Just ride the drop of the bass,

The one that sounds like your heart beat at the beginning of your life.

Kisa Amora

There is nothing that can be said to a person that watches people get reborn everyday. I am one of many souls that are old even though we are young. There is nothing I would love to do then tell you a story, but I must fight for my people's lives. I am the forever student, and the forever teacher. I am who I am- I am me.
