The mist swirls around us
thickening deep.

wrapped shadows lost in thought
drink one after another earthenpot
dream on imagined wings
puff unseen smokerings
pierce the fox-dark night
in tobacco spark light
voice in stupored half sleep
debt and hardship
despite clayburnt toil
on the redrock soil
the treacherous seed
growing never to need.


The night looms wearily old
when the last man walks away.

My tea tastes bitter bottom cold.
Realize
you are Divine.

Recognize
everything else is, as well.

Respect
the Holism of Reality.

Revel
in the sanctity of all things.


These are the ways
by which we may return
to Eden, Elysium, Nirvana;

we've so long forgotten-
we've so long neglected-
we've so long abandoned-
we so long to renew.

It is up to
every single last one of you-
that is, of us,
to make present a mutual mental state
that would act as harbinger-
as savior of our potential-
of our future
and the futures of all things
which find themselves within our domain
as sentient beings
alive, awake, and aware in this Universe
(a ******* divine gift if I've ever known one, I might add)
as **** Sapiens Sapiens.


Indeed,
the task at hand is tremendous
to say the least.
However:
our capacity, I would argue,
makes it pale in comparison
to say the least.

And that's saying something.
Yes, at times I use capitalization as a grammatical token of respect for idealized forms of certain nouns. What of it?

At nighttime when she screamed
In nightmares when I dreamed
A child could not escape
I did not asked to be born

Copulating in a cornfield
Corn fed queen
Wanting a new human being
So why does she scream

The beatings and beratings
The furious shakings
Insanity in the making
My only response to the madness is
I did not ask to be born
The sapphire waves meet at the shore,
Sand castles and footprints, present no more.
Washed away in oblivion so far,
As the sea swallows the dying sun.

Eerily the night creeps over the blue quilt,
Onyx waves wash my soul and sandy feet.
When the moon casts its glow over the sea,
Even the smallest pearl glows deep beneath.
I'm gonna try and live every day with this in mind. " I am here to do something great. I am here to do something of change for others. I will Live every day knowing that my goal isn't to live forever. But to leave behind something that will. Live every day as me best and last. So if I was to drop dead right now. I would be able to look back on my life, and be proud. To have others look back on my life and see hope. Inspiration. Wisdom. Truth. Peace. That they learn from the mistakes I made so they don't have to make the same ones to learn that lesson. I want to live. Die and be remembered and learned from long after im gone. I want my kids and grandkids to be proud to say. "That's my dad!" Or "Yep! That's my grandpa!" If I was to die tonight. I would want to die and be remembered by those I love and those who I'll never know. I want to die remembered."
