Part One
history of the dwarves
I’m thirty-six inches tall, that’s all…
honest with god i am
My hair is green, my eyes are red, and I
Have a very thick neck.
My eyebrows are thin and my beard
It has three hairs…
And I endured abuse, when I was young
Yeah! It happened to be; day to day…
…people laugh at me, my appearance
You see… I appeal to them.
.
I am middle-aged, not very old, nor am I
me: pious, poor or stupid;
My wrinkles and spots are like them
they are–I wouldn’t change them
…for food or gold… .
I come from a race, from within the earth
Older than man himself;
So what do I do, I leave it to you–
Just call me Omac, the Mighty Dwarf.
.
Oh! I’ve lived in this world of wickedness and evil–
Sad and heartbreaking, to say the least.
Everyone worried about everything–
With neighbors, housewives and thieves.
The only one that occurs to me, which is not
Despise or hate, is an acquaintance
I have known, in the depths of Iceland,
It left me with a riddle to think about:
Said he: “Why do you call me a great man?
One you don’t understand; with
Dog devotion and faith?
Maybe that’s it, a dwarf can’t live
…without an awesome partner?”
I told him, as he walked away: “It’s
because you are awesome to
They, not me!…”
The second part
midget hell
I visited hell once with
Its torture chambers and horrible
rhymes…
If I could, I’d take half the land, there,
Just to see what they could take;
So, her soft white dream that she
Once seen, then I would be in
…the demons care.
.
With scorpions, dim and dark, and spiteful
And horrible sounds – of hissing
next to your bed; with all this I fear friend,
In hell, you wish you were never dead.
As the wriggling worms climb everywhere, what
Terrible sight to hear the men scream–;
To see the horned malamute dogs growl
Wildly, licking everything disgusting.
.
But I’m a midget, thirty six inches tall
That’s all…,
Blue eyes, wings that don’t fly,
Blood rushing to my head…
… When I get angry–
Oh, sometimes I play dumb, play dumb and
Trembling everywhere, but no one
Notices: I’d like to squash them too;
My life in their minds, unnoticed.
Part three
dwarf madness
I hate those I can understand; those me
No, I find myself unarmed,
And wishing I could.
Everybody’s in a bubble of superiority
This of course irritates me…
Its soft white silence, which is more like
cadaveric porridge, wrapped
…up in his crystal dreams–!
If it were up to me, I’d rape whores
And kill the queen–;
That’s my sensitive side
The dwarf side, please.
.
Fuck the meaning of life, just give me
A dagger or knife; wise men die
Like midgets and fools, the only difference
It’s that they went to school.
The fate of man is not in his hands
How would you like everyone to believe!
Not even pious images will save him, they
Come and go like fool’s gold;
This is very flat to see!
I don’t need flattery like them, just a
Purpose for today…!
fourth part
dwarf love
I have sung many praises of love and
Beauty–:
Above all, they sing to me:
“The waters are still, the witches
They are real, and the twilight grows cold;
But my heart is tattooed gray–
Who loves a dwarf anyway?”
I have my cross, where the Christians
Walk–, because I tried to be a Christian
You will see–; and for love and faith
I made a mistake… dwarves’ a
… dwarf, too,
in the corridors of Christianity.
.
Blasphemy, blasphemy, everywhere,
I would like to load my gun,
Face the sun, twist some bones
In and out of his chest!…
Too bad I’m harmless…
I look through my dwarf door, once again
I see very little, only people
So many people, with envy, envy;
He just wanted to be loved, you see.
fifth part
Chavin
I have to go back today! old i am
Compared to you…
They’re taking me back with a
Escort I see, like a prince
…under the care of a prince.
They are humble with me, I’m not human
You see, or that I do not wish to be;
For them I am a millionaire.
There are no claims…
…in the world for them…
And in Chavin de Huantar I will be.
.
In fact, I’ll never go back
Chavin de Huantar will be
My home; even the ignorant understand
You have to wash your hands when…
…all that’s left is hunger!…

I am half old, not very old, nor am I

Son – I wouldn’t change them

I came from a race, from within the earth
Older than man himself;
So what do I do, I leave it to you-
Just call me Omac,
The Mighty Dwarf.
oh! I have lived in this world of the devil and evil-
Sad and heartbreaking to say the least.
Each cared about everything-
With neighbors, housewives and thieves.
The only one I can think of, who doesn’t
I despise or hate, it is an acquaintance
I found it, in the depths of Iceland,
He left me a cradle to think:
Did he say “Why do you call me a great man?

Its torture chambers and horrible

If I could, I would take half the land -there,
Just to see what they could carry;
So, her soft white dreams that she
Once saw, then I’d be on
…the devil’s care.
.
With Scorpions, idiots and dark, and spiteful
And horrible hissing sounds
By his bed; with all this I fear my friend,
In Hell, you wish you weren’t dead.
As the wavy worms subtilted over all, which
Terrible sight, hearing men’s screams;
See horned malamute dogs growl
Fiercely, licking all dirty.

But, I’m a midget, thirty six inches tall
That’s all…,
With blue eyes the wings that do not fly,
The blood that rushed to my head…

Ah, with the idiot game, I shoot and
I shake all over, but no one

Tiny Madness
I hate those I can hear;
I do not, I find myself unarmed,
And wishing I could.
To everyone in a bubble of superiority,
This certainly irritated me…
Its quiet soft white, which is rather
Cadaverous collapse, wrapped
…up, in your crystal like dreams-!
If this gets me high, I’d rape the harlots
And he would kill the queen-;
This is my sensitive side
The Tiny side, with your permission.
.
Hell with the meaning of life, just give me
A dagger or knife; wise men die
Like midgets and fools, the only difference
It’s, they went to school.
The fate of man is not in his hands
As everyone would like to believe!
Nor will pious images save him, they
Come and go
like fool’s gold;
This is very clear to see!
I don’t need no flattery like them, just a
Goal for today…!
