Ah, symbolism. Ganahan kaayo kita niani kay maka apil man ta sa butang nga wa tay labot. Kada human sa kwarisma niadto, bitayon ang effigy ni Judas ug dauban. Inig bag-ong tuig atong pabuthag firecrackers ang “Dimalas” para mawagtang kini. Sa Mecca sa Saudi Arabia matag ingarong mga adlawa duna silay “stoning the devil” activity. Matud pa usa kuno kini ka reenactment sa pagbato ni Abraham sa yawa dihang gitintal siya niani pagsupak sa sugo sa ginuo nga isakripisyo ang iyang anak. Apan daghang aksidenting mahitabo nianing mga okasyona. Karong semanaha mokapin sa 700 ang nangamatay ug kapin sa 800 ang nanga angol tungod sa usa ka stampede human ning maong kalihukan. Wa kaha mobawos ang yawa? Unsa man diay kinaiya aning yawa?
Aniay version sa Rolling Stones kabahin sa yawa sa ilang kantang “Sympathy for The Devil:”
Please allow me to introduce myself/I’m a man of wealth and taste/I’ve been around for a long, long year/Stole many a man’s soul to waste//And I was ‘round when Jesus Christ/Had his moment of doubt and pain/Made damn sure that Pilate/Washed his hands and sealed his fate
CHORUS: Pleased to meet you/Hope you guess my name/But what’s puzzling you/Is the nature of my game
I stuck around St. Petersburg/When I saw it was a time for a change/Killed the Tsar and his ministers/Anastasia screamed in vain//I rode a tank/Held a general’s rank/When the blitzkrieg raged/And the bodies stank
(Repeat CHORUS) oh yeah/(Woo woo, woo woo)
I watched with glee/While your kings and queens/Fought for ten decades/For the gods they made/(Woo woo, woo woo)//I shouted out/Who killed the Kennedys?/When after all/It was you and me/(Who who, who who)//Let me please introduce myself/I’m a man of wealth and taste/And I laid traps for troubadours/Who get killed before they reached Bombay/(Woo woo, who who)
(Repeat CHORUS) oh yeah, get down, baby/(Who who, who who) (2X)
Just as every cop is a criminal/And all the sinners saints/As heads is tails/Just call me Lucifer/’Cause I’m in need of some restraint/(Who who, who who)//So if you meet me/Have some courtesy/Have some sympathy, and some taste/(Woo woo)/Use all your well-learned politesse/Or I’ll lay your soul to waste, mm yeah/(Woo woo, woo woo)
(Repeat CHORUS)
Tell me baby, what’s my name/Tell me honey, can ya guess my name/Tell me baby, what’s my name/I tell you one time, you’re to blame/What’s my name/Tell me, baby, what’s my name/Tell me, sweetie, what’s my name.
