I climb to live not to die Society has failed me it has failed us all The Rat Race round and round on the conveyor belt I have more stuff i am better than you I need that finished today actually yesterday would be more better My mind is tired my body is spent Yes- the White Citadel beckons come to me my child of God Put one step in front of the other mindless, liberating Brain is flooded with happiness nothing matters- one step in front of the other Summit glows in morning light come to me - enter my womb Eagle soars on the invisible lift raven calls reverberate in the canyon Freedom, liberation, deliverance I climb to live not to die.

THE FREEDOM OF THE HILLS
I climb to feed the rat A gnawing unsatiable parasite I climb not to die But to live The knife-edge ridge beckons Could cut me to ribbons The vertical ice shines - come forth Into my womb One foot after another Endless My lungs heave My body yearns I see visions But are they real? The white citadel calls Come- and see God Like a snake In a Gadda Da Vida Come to me And die in my arms
