Boney M is among my popular collection. I don't really know why, but their songs gave me lots of spiritual visualization of many facets of lives. Today, I feel damn 'lazy', many times I have been to the washroom, yet feel reluctant to take a bath and walk out of my home. Not wanting my brain to be 'dumb', I just work on few of my collections. Boney M seem attracting me the most.
(2) While flipping the book: Overcoming Poverty Through Credit, The Asian Experience in Replicating the Grameen Bank Approach, the song title Elute by the Group really wake me up. I tried to write the song here to be shared by all:
(this is a story of Elute, a man who was born to be hunted like wild animal because he was poor, he refused to accept his fate, and today his honor has been restored)
he was only 19 and was sentenced to die
for something that someone else did
and blamed on Elute
and they chained him to life
and so he could escape
from thereon they chased in a search
for him for days and nights all over Spain
but the searched was in vain for Elute
he has only seen the dark side of life
the man they called Elute
and he wanted a home just like you and like me
in a country we all would be free
though he taught him some to read and write
it didn't help Elute
they was one who helped him to escape
over night they have to find Elute
(so they paint of his name
spread like wild fire all over the land
with the price on his head
people still gave him bread
and they gave him the hands
for they knew he was right
and despite was that bite)
no one gave you a chance
in the Spain in those days
almost every place they have pools of the face of Elute
and he bucked where he could
just like once Robin Hood
in final they caught him
and they drag him
in the end what they caused him in vain
all the chain came the same...and Elute
he has only seen the dark side of life
the man they called Elute
and he wanted a home just like you and like me
in a country we all would be free
and freedom came to his land
and also to Elute
now he walks in the line of the shine....
