Boecis
The Boecis (original name: Lo poema de Boecis, Occitan: [lu puˈɛmɔ ðe βuˈesis], Catalan: [ɫu puˈɛmə ðə βuˈesis]; "The poeme of Boethius") is an anonymous fragment written around the year 1000 in the Limousin dialect of Old Occitan, spoken in the nowadays southern France. It is the first known poem in langue d'oc, and one of the first texts written in a Romance language: according to François Juste Marie Raynouard, it is the second oldest after the Oaths of Strasbourg. On the alleged hundreds or thousands of original lines, only 257 have reached today.
This poem was inspired by the work De consolatione philosophiae of the Latin poet, philosopher and politician Boethius (~480-524).

Placebo
by: PosiesI'm just not sure
of where to stand
but I don't need to have a sense of judgement
I don't need everything
if you don't know
(you're a bird that's bound together)
you never might (binded with each other)
and you could try to have a sense of wonder
you could try anything
you could try anything
but if you think I'm gonna let it show
well, it's something we may never know
placebo, placebo, placebo, placebo
inside my self
words will not tell (you took a taste with tarnish)
I can't stand it when the cupboard's barren
and all the sweet saccharine
and all my sweet saccharine
but if you think I'm gonna let it show
well, it's something we may never know
