"Bouta Poem

 'Bouta Poem

So,....
You'd like to write a poem
But you haven't got a clue
On what to write about
It's not to be concerning
It's really very simple
You take a word or more
And spread them cross the floor
It doesn't need to rhyme
Or fall in line with time
And you need not hesitate
Cause I know that you'll do great
Here's a useful trick
To help the juices flow
Never get your noggin stuck
Or pinned against a wall
Just find a way around the jam
By using buttered scones and ham
There are no rules for writing poems
Ride the waves and make it fun
Or take a walk and head in deep 
Or dream up prose at noontime sleep
No matter how you come at it
I know that you'll do great

The Last Decade

The Last Decade

I have spent the last decade in the practice of healing and enlightenment of all physical and invisible elements of my whole, bringing me to write a novel of intellectual instruction for others to step off from. There are so many wonderful directions you can choose and actions to engage in. I would say the three most important paths to orientate you inner-self toward would be that of honesty, humility, and forgiveness. This is a perfect appetizer to compliment the feast that surely follows. For me, It's important to start simple, avoiding the trap that overwhelms my thought. Too much of a good thing can be very harmful. But yes, all of the aforementioned wonders do hold unique purposes and placement in the universe. Beyond all perception is the essence of pure energy and truth that will guide those who ask for assistance. What is it that you seek?

Happy Not Because

Happy Not Because

I am happy 
Not because
The sky is blue
And not because 
I stopped the booze
It's none of these
Forgive me please
And it's not because 
I am not sad
And not because
Life is so rad
No I say
No No No
The reason is 
So simple see
I'm happy because
I chose to be

Im A Rock Star

I'm A Rock Star

Surviving is for victims
I'm not a victim
But instead, I'm a rock star
Living in the light
I see the truth
I know only happiness
I am beyond hope
And destitution
And worry
I stand for love
And high vibration
Connected to all that exists
And all that does not 
I am filled with love and nothing
All my windows and doors 
Are open to me-the-soul
Come with me and celebrate together
We are strong when we are united
And together we shall be

Lab In China

Lab In China

One of many human beings 
Controlled by evil
Working in a lab in China
Released a sinister biological weapon 
Upon the globe we all call home
And destroyed any signs 
Of normalcy and functionality 
Within our world and turning it dark  
Nonetheless, the light will always prevail 
And in time, all will be revealed
The end of evils reign is fast approaching
But this means that evil's strength is growing too

Without An Owner

 Without An Owner

Stuff without an owner
Remains unanimated
Lifeless and still
A human without any stuff
Remains limitless
Alive and mobile
When the mind is empty
And the soul is captain
Only then 
Can one's true purpose
Be realized 
And pure freedom be the present
But the mind is only as empty 
As the stores that we hoard

Poo-Tin

 Poo-Tin

What we have here is a Tin full of Poo

If you not careful it will spill onto you

The tin has been opened

The stench burns our eyes

Who now should rush in

But his army of flies

They chomp and they chew

Bombing our homes

We try to fight back 

With our sticks and our stones

They take what they want

They feast on our dung

And guzzle the blood 

From our terrified young

Oh what a mess from the Poo in that Tin

It would seem that the past 

Has come back as a twin

It's hard to believe that 

This may in fact be

The fourth hand-me-down

From war number three

It's hard to deny or even ask why

But the time will soon come

When the Poo will run out

 And the tin will be gone

There isn't a doubt 

Decomposition cannot be denied

The soil will sweeten

New home will be built

The Poo in the Tin

Will turn into soil 

And then into silt

The End

When I Was Old

 When I Was Old

When I was old, very very old indeed
I danced a good dance, when I was old
But now today I'd have to say
My fancy feet are very cold
And cannot find their way
They're waiting for the summer sun
To bring undone this cold and wicked day

Happy Easter Prayer

 Happy Easter Prayer

May the good lord look kindly upon you all and with his hands heal whatever needs to be healed from the words that you have spoken through your heart to God himself. May your blessings be of many, out-weighing your woes and your worries that may be present in your life, lending way for the light of God to flow freely into your life allowing you to see what needs to be let go of and the courage and the strength to do what needs to be done. I may not have much else to give you so I hope this prayer will do.

A Pickle Mind

 A Pickle Mind

Have you ever talked to the silence? 
It's like sending a text, receiving no response 
from the one you thought was your friend,
from the one you thought was your family.
Until one day they turned the other way altogether
Just because 
-- They had a bad day/a bad life -- 
A pickle mind 
-- a fickle pickle they had dined --
A pity, nonetheless, but a new day will
begin again followed by another, until
there is no more "again" 
Until 'begin" becomes the end. 
And the "end" become "again"

Resting By The Fire

 Resting By The  Fire

Hues of swirling orange flame

Tethered to a bed of glowing red embers

Warms the room safely contained

In a box of steal and glass

As the fire slowly fades away

The hot steal cools and groans

Clink-pa-ping-ta-ting

The cold will soon 

Invite itself inside again

But I'll be fast asleep by then

Lullabied by the heavy rains

Beating down upon the metal roof

Soothed by the voice of singing chimes

Moved by the wind

Carrying dreams into my mind

Wedded To Absurd

 Wedded To Absurd

Almighty is her pen

Upon the eyes that've seen

Written words and their spaces

Laced with weapons in-between

A voice that grabs attention

But is vaguely ever heard


Can a man be truly happy

If he's wedded to absurd?


Will my life still be my own

Asked the man to the bird?


All she said was...

I'll be happy

When your life is by the balls

As you wife then life is happy

Standing tall to all my calls

But if you dare to ever wonder

Past the line that Id consider

Any less that what's suffice

I'll remind you that I'll dice them

To the floor then they will fall

You'll never really figure 

What pulls upon my trigger

If you never care to listen 

To the pain behind my wall

Maybe then you'd understand 

But I love you even though

I can feel you letting go


All he said was...

What's for dinner, I am hungry

Can't you see that I'll feel better

When I'm out there in the pasture 

Letting loose and running free

I am man I can't explain

Your demands drive me insane

Deep inside I love you too

My action they are many

My words may be too few

Please Please Please

Just love me as I am

Forgive me I am man

Why can't we both be happy

Living wedded hand-in-hand

Reasoning To A Perfect Seasoning

 Reasoning To A Perfect Seasoning

I wonder...
Could it be that everything
Has already been written
Invented, discovered, experienced
And even thought of 
For that matter?

If this is true,
Would there then be
Nothing left to live for?

Would it mean that
Life for everyone
Would simply just vanish
And begin again?

Where then would it start?
And how and by whom?

Or maybe it wouldn't begin again at all,
As it was truly the end of life as we know it
Never to return for all of eternity.
An interesting thought that has
Certainly been asked  by many 
That have come before.

But seriously, when is the end 
Of the human race coming, if ever?
 
Is it possible that there is no end?

And if there isn't 
And everything has been done before
What then would the humans do?

I guess they could just do it all again
Over and over until they just  
Couldn't take it any more.
But, what fun would that be.

Isn't the idea of living life 
Suppose to be about finding enjoyment
And purpose?

That's what I was taught to believe
And I certainly do my best to achieve this.
If one thing doesn't do it for me,
I just move on to the next. 
A simple method of deduction,
that I have been doing 
for as long as I can remember. 

How about you.
What is your reasoning 
To a perfect seasoning
To life?

If I Don't Ever Try

 If I Don't Ever Try

I raise my glass, and back down again
Asking myself, what have I been thinking?
I couldn't possibly lay fault on anyone else but myself

And yet, if I don't have a soul,
Am I truly to blame?
Forgive me for asking, 
Where then did I go?
Reduced to a shell
Wondering aimlessly, so
I was told here I'll stay
Until I get old
I don't like it in here
It's terribly dark
I've become so complacent
How did this all start?
My skin has gone clammy
No light in my heart

The worst of it is, I'm destroying myself
Drinking this liquor, that makes me feel funk
I'm told by my peers. I've become an old drunk

I'd like to go back
To my soul now instead
But, I can't find my way 
Through the fog in my head
Can anyone hear me?
Is help on it's way?
That's not how it works
I'm beginning to think
It would seem my whole life
Has flashed by in a blink
Maybe its me
Who makes the first move
Maybe I'm the one
Who holds the power to choose

I need to find courage to change out of this faze,
Forgive from within, discard my old ways. Will it
Be easy, will it be hard, to make a new life when
Emotionally scared? 

With so many questions 
And needs to know why, 
How could I know
If I don't ever try?

Palm Of My Hand

      


Palm Of My Hand

          In the beginning of every new day I turn on the kettle to boil water for a cup of Yerba Mate tea. I place my pillow and folded-comforter against the wall to use as a backrest to lean upon, while sipping away... pondering my very existence. Click, click goes the virtual keys on the cell-phone that I hold in the palm of my hand, tapping each letter one by one, carefully spelling out my thoughts onto the tiny screen before me. What could all this mean? And, what, if any, purpose does it hold? In the moment, it would seem that it means absolutely nothing but, inversely, could it be that these series of simple words strung together by empty spaces, in fact assist in shaping the future that may or may-not one day manifest into existence? Is it possible that I have always been the creator of my past, present and future, unbenounced to my very own consciousness? If this is true, I'd have no one to blame for my numerous failures or congratulate me for even fewer successes, other than myself. Am I responsible for nudging my life along to where I am today?  Is this an awakening to a revelation that would serve as a means to self-metamorphosis granting control of all future forth comings? What great power I would then hold in the palm of my hand. Never again would undesirable outcomes of unpredictability hold sway over my fate or destiny. What changes would you make if you had the power to control the outcome of your future?

Natural Relations

Natural Relations

tribal cries
vibrate deep
as the hot sun
plunges up into
the swollen 
pink sky
spreading her clouds
open wide
humidity dripping
down her curvaceous
inviting landscape
hungry for more
thunderous thrusting waves
 lap repeatedly
up onto her
wet fertile shores

The War Of Free Will

 The War Of Free Will

All ends are connected to all beginnings
Ends are the doorway leading to everywhere
Fish know this better than any living creature
This is why salmon are tireless in their efforts
To reach the end of their journey 
An ending that is timeless, forever and pure
The time has now come 
For all endings and beginnings
To join together
Including the life of all human beings
This is the key to immortality
Why then do humans;
Fight so hard to stay alive
And fiercely mourn death
And cling so tightly to life
Simply because they cannot see 
Beyond their blind ambitions
This blindness creates 
A heightened sense of fear of the unknown
But if humans could see beyond their illusions
All fear would be abolished 
And courage restored once more
We have come to the age of the great undoing
The four horsemen have come
Deconstruction has already begun
Only one choice remains
Deciding which way to go
By disregarding the importance of direction
You will fall deeper into your own reflection
Bringing you further from your true self 
Ask this question: 
"What is it that I am not seeing"
Hold this question lightly in your mind
As if it where something you could hold
Then deny all knowledge
And empty out your mind
Clarity will then reveal the path
That leads back 
To the beginning of all beginnings
Repeat this process again and again
Never refraining, never letting up 
Your strength will grow
You  --"The Spirit"-- will be restored
Infinite pure energy will flow again
Taken back from those W.H.O. kill
This energy is now yours to use
To win the war for your free will

Nothing Is Your Friend

Nothing Is Your Friend

Your life can
Feel like nothing
Until a little hope
Turns your nothing
Into a hopeful something
More or less
But a hopeful something
Is like a tunnel
Teasing you
With a light
Just out of reach
Wishing you were 
Closer to the end
And a light
That's in the distance
Can quickly fade
Back to nothing
When there's an
Unexpected bend
But say 
You think that 
Nothing is your friend
Then the light
Will live inside you
Not waiting out ahead
And it won't be 
Back behind
In the places
You have bin
That's why
Loneliness
Will always be
A something
If you don't 
Believe in nothing
A place where
Every Something
From a nothing 
Must begin
Then your life
Will be a something
Made of nothing 
But the best
From the moment 
You had nothing
Turned to something
More or less
Can it really be
This simple
And the answers
Still is yes
Your light
Is there inside you
Trust and it will
Guide you
If you never 
Second guess
Now you know 
The secret
That has nothing 
To do with something
When your something
Is a nothing
That has now
Become your friend

Are You Out Or Are You In

Are You Out Or Are You In


Evil has no stability

And no rule over anything

Evil is however 

And always will be 

A faceless menace

An enemy of itself

Within  itself

It uses deception

To captivate its prey

This is why

When energy 

Of any sort

In any form

Is horded 

It always ends up inevitably

Resulting in unfathomable pressure

That cannot be 

permanently sustained 

Or contained

And at some point

An uncontrolled volatile reaction

Will occur

As nature attempts

To right itself

Back to a natural state of balance

This has become 

The fate of our race

A direct result

From an unhealthy desire

To own and control

All life and core energy

For the purpose 

Of gaining a feeling 

Of illusionary power 

That feeds a non existent stomach

That craves peak experience 

It then seems clear to me

That, in this world

Human commandments are born 

From a hierarchy of Aristocracy 

And the people below them

Quickly learn from their example

Rather than 

From first principle thinking

This means that all humans

Are infected 

With a highly infectious 

And deadly 

Seed of thought

A thought that invokes 

Insatiable desire

To seek out endless power

To control the living

And the unliving

For the exploit of core energy

At any cost

This brings me to

A small group 

Of hidden ones

That are blindly accepted

Greatly feared 

And perceived to be 

Supreme rulers 

Of all life on earth

Hiding in the shadows

Terminally ill 

With an incurable 

Sickness of the mind

Banding together

In their bed of incest

And unwashed sheets

Continually hording

Controlling and exploiting

All raw human energy

Used to fill their bidding

Their perverse addictions  

Has brought them down hard

To rocks bottom

And there 

Is nowhere else

For them to go

They have no choice

But to feed on the flesh

Of their comrades

And ultimately in the end 

Devour their sovereign Mom

But the next part of this story

Is best described 

Through riddle and rhyme

Of a limey crust

That's quickly disintegrating

Allowing Imprisoned Captives

To escape Old Sate's

Shattering metamorphic gates

Forcing mass vaccination

A modern form of Holocaust 

By means of gene invasion

Throttling the human body

And revving fear velocity

But now more than ever

It is time to hold

Your grip steady

To those you love

And feed from 

Loves provisions

Soon no door

Will be hidden

The lightening 

Will destroy their cloud

Falling fast and falling hard

An overload of pure energy

Breaking apart at every seam

Parting the way

To a kinder world out yonder

Beyond the six windows

Where the four-square reign

A frame within a frame 

Of false dimension

All square holes

Lead to dark ascension

Thick with illusion

And heinous discretion

A cube that invokes

The art of war

But soon the eight corners

And 4 pillars 

Will meet its final fate

When the laws of nature

Strip them of all their power

Reverting them back

To a reprobate

And on this day

The blind will see again

And the cross 

Will no longer be needed

To remind us of the pain

Once endured by all men

Freedom will be freedom

Once again

So are you out 

Or are you in

For the annihilation 

Of all mans sin

A garden of love

For all to begin again
