God, by Lennon.

God is a concept,
By which we can measure,
Our pain,
I'll say it again,
God is a concept,
By which we can measure,
Our pain,
I don't believe in magic,
I don't believe in I-ching,
I don't believe in bible,
I don't believe in tarot,
I don't believe in Hitler,
I don't believe in Jesus,
I don't believe in Kennedy,
I don't believe in Buddha,
I don't believe in mantra,
I don't believe in Gita,
I don't believe in yoga,
I don't believe in kings,
I don't believe in Elvis,
I don't believe in Zimmerman,
I don't believe in Beatles,
I just believe in me,
Yoko and me,
And that's reality.
The dream is over,
What can I say?
The dream is over,
Yesterday,
I was dreamweaver,
But now I'm reborn,
I was the walrus,
But now I'm John,
And so dear friends,
You just have to carry on,
The dream is over.

Antojo divino

Designio proferido,
irrefutable marca y oculta cruz,
in entendible antojo, manivela de placer,
¿es mi aliento solo un vicio?
¿mi Albedrío, marioneta?

Ayala.

Canto III: El infierno.

Por mi se va a la ciudad doliente, por mi se ingresa en el dolor eterno, por mi se va con la perdida gente. La justicia movió a mi alto hacedor. Hízome la divina potestad, la suma sabiduría y el primer amor. Antes de mí ninguna cosa fue creada sólo las eternas, y yo eternamente duro, ¡Perded toda esperanza los que entráis!»
