And who thought they were flightless birds! I found a kiwi with wings that allow him to soar like an eagle. I know him as Ethan James but you may know him by another name. Ethan2rock on Youtube.Born to Julie and American born turned kiwi, Len on 29 October 1996 Ethan figured out quickly what he wanted to do with his life. Len started teaching him the guitar at age five and he took off like an Eagle who had ridden the currents of music his whole life.Now at twelve he has written and composed his own music. Much of which reaches beyond the average twelve year olds interests or understanding. Ethan obviously understands life a little differently than the rest of us and it is refreshing to say the least.He has elected to home school so he can focus on the beauty and passions of his music. His parents support his choice and like many other parents find that the public systems have become bureaucratic unbending machines set to hammer your child into the size and shape they deem proper regardless of the child’s aptitude or desires, commendable by all strokes of the pen.The proof is in the pudding my grandmother would have said and sweet it is. His latest song titled “Jealousy” is just such sweet proof. Here are the lyrics as provided to me by Ethan’s dad.Chorus What you say is so confusing What you do is so misleading Oh the pain, oh the shame I know you are Jealousy’s your name.V.1 Illustrations painted in the mind Illuminations in tears of colour These are visions all within These abilities we all claim.V.2 Disillusions begin to settle in Discontentment is the order of the day I’m unimpressed by games people play Oh the innocence is lostV.3 The reflections that have come to be Have you become so blind you cannot see The invasion that corrupts your mind Make the change the answers you can findV.4 Unswept responsibilities are left behind They come together on the sidewalk of time Its understanding in all those things Of where we come from and where we are nowThese are wonderful...

This song has much to do with my old school. And the so called friends and peers. Hey, I am allowed to let off a bit of steam. I hope you enjoy this one.
