The cold
(The cold rain )
/////

Simplest of feelings

(Life)

•

who -- I ask -- walks here

••

Hopes--?

Dreams-- ?

-- nothin wrong with that --

•

freedom hangs heavy if you don't know
What to do

But you do know what to do
So do it

••

Ain't nothin wrong with havin a boy friend
Or girl friend

While doin it

••

How fertile (so sweet )

The scent of the soil
After the rain

••

Yeah
The pigs are tryin to **** you

They really are

••

The fertile soil

The fertile soil

Knows you by name

••


Walk in the cold rain

Ah the sun shines

Rest in peace for death

Has surely come

And all
Will

Fade away
-

Joys
Pain

(These)

••

Are hardly even here no more

As we too are near gone

••

Ah fare thee well MY SLEEPING BEAUTIES!

•

Dream on ! Dream on!

!     !     !

Sedated

By our own pretense of love !

••

But death had come

So rest in peace

SLEEPING BEAUTIES !

rest in peace

//////// grace////////

•

Your welcome god!

We've been doing our best

••

You give all Opportunity

We took it

!

Didn't get on Welfare

Or ask for no hand-outs

---
we worked hard at our jobs
Didn't ask for too much

•

We accepted everything as if it was all your grace

_

We serve you well and accept your thanks

YOUR WELCOME!
Oh

LORD!

••

All we ask
Is

KEEP THESE POOR SICK LOSERS

OUT OF OUR SIGHT

Protect us from their evil ways

------thank you!

Morning has its own sons and daughters

•

She takes them forth from Dawn
unto

Your street

••

You see them

You do not understand

••
••

Was once a time you did

You'd wait expectantly
For

Them to appear

•

When was that?
?   ?
?

A long time ago

(Before the poisoned Rain )

•

We walk We talk
We

Run amok

We

?

•••••••••

Morning

Takes her sons and daughters for a walk
( song ! )

The DAWN

I see you join them on the street

Is it just a dream

Or
The first day of reality?

•.      •

The moment of Dissent

The vow to
Never  be Decieved

•

To
STAND UPON THE MOUNTAIN
TOP

( if a mountain can be found )

••

Ah

Little britches!

Ah

YE freckle faced kid !

ETERNAL !

( of any age )

••

There is

TRUE POWER

draw it in

TRUE POWER

let it out

!!

Oh my god !

Don't you  trust in me?

!  !  !

I'm sick a this fascist government ****!
Sick a this tea party ignorant *** - hole ****!

This media driven mind control ****!

This culturally driven fake love macho hero ****!

I'm sick a you all for  falling for this ****!

I'm gettin real sick a myself for giving a **** about this **** !

••

But ?

??

The TRUE POWER

(Transformation )

Does not decieve

It does not depend on your belief

Let it in
Let it out

Climb the highest mountain left

Hold your Hand up to The Lord

You his Light

You his Sword

!  !  !

Fires in the night

Death within the sight

It ain't the time for love my friend

It's time to set a story down

So that THAT child might survive

•

(  & WE TOO
MIGHT SURVIVE)

That is

We might live in dignity

••

The fires in the night

Souls start shining

Fierce with pride

We shall set the story right

& then we might love again

All in all !

••

We tell the truth so surreptitiously

--

( The omnipresent police man! )

••

Yes!

God has been replaced !

Oh yes

All in all

••

Oh yes
Man

We've been replaced

We are
Just

Drones

In the Factory

••

All in all

It's such a piggish way to live

••

But we do it
Though

None

Say why

The boat is set adrift

The fire

••
••

Do we come  just to leave ------- ?

•

YEAH
BUT

ITS ALL WRITTEN DOWN

SOMEHOW

.••

Adrift

Between
Here and there

••

Fires

••

••

Tell everybody

All

You know

-

Hopefully
They'll

Understand

Lay your soul

Upon my breath

••

A heart will open

••

Each living child is your very flesh

(We all are children!)

••

It's not a place to hide
But
Just to rest

••

Come with me when you are full refreshed

••

Free your vision
Free your song

••

For god's sake child

Know your strength

••

You are not a human being

At least not in the way you think

••

The ***** willow bends
But does not break

At least not in the way you think

Little  child of the streets

Who has put the weapon in your hand ?

Are YE really gonna gun down

The other child over there ?

••

This a basic question

(This -- fabric of Dream)

••

••

The government

:

They want to take your guns


Yet make of you

A killing Machine !

!

••

Do you not see thru this

?

That's beyond belief!!

!

You cannot love  without " embrace"

Cast off all false instruction

And be the one you need to be

So

When all
The ****

Comes down

Are we really gonna go
Out

& **** eachother ?

Will we bother with the sound byte

Reasons

Or just say

I WANNA LIVE!!

••

••

We are truly acting so totally

Irresponsibly

It is quite impossible to comprehend

••

We write our love letters

To those soon to be killers
Of
Those soon -- dead

••

Killer or dead

•

•

Lovely lovely possibilities

•

But for the fear within all hearts

And the madness within all heads

Love ?

------

Yeah

I know what you do

-----

The traveler descends the high hill

I know him from some half remembered poem some where

I caint quite remember what he looked like

••

A song of love maybe

•

Starry angels of Night

appear as the sons of the Sunlight

••

Sorry people of the streets

Feeling into shadows
For a hint of grace

----

Love?

--

Yeah

But I ain't sure what you mean

••

I ain't sure what you mean at all

---

How extreme

the excesses of fright

The way it turns the neighborhoods

Into alien shape

••

We wander the once mystic
Night

But the angels are gone

••

And the shades are drawn and hidden

Are all lovers' eyes

••

And DEATH too

(& hence the Meaning of life!)

Has fled

•

And as I stand here amongst
You

Quite frankly

I don't know why

••

A song of mythical
Heroes plays soft

But tires

And spins around and down

And curls up
On the street

••

And only we are left

Unguarded
Unsheltered

Raw with such feelings

Of loneliness

••

Even the stars

Fading into the neons

Of the overhead lights

••

Lost in the haze

Of a lost story line

Remembering some other
Way to live

But just barely

(Very barely)

••

Hidden here in the alien night

We finally reach out to eachother

And set the story right

I just figured out why

Kids

Go to high school!

•

BAD KARMA !!

••••

I dreamed that I was in the gulag
Not remembering

If I was the prisoner being tortured

Or

The guard doing the torturing!

But then I woke up and I was just in high school

••

I read that

Dante's INFERNO

Was just about one day in high school

••

If a kid sits down and meditates

He need not go to high school any more

In the wild free ghetto night

Where would ya wanna be but here?

With god and the angels and love so bright!

I walk these streets in complete  awe

I'll be here walkin in a thousand years


••

Baby rockin in the cradle

Cradle rockin on the window sill

So very high above the street

••

Hey hey mama here come Jesus

Got a sack a loaves and fishes

Jes for you

••

Ain't lynched a cowboy from this tree in 100 years

But it gotta couple a negroes back in '63

••

Help help!!

I ain't suffering from affluenza

& I need some bad !

••

My face !

And most a you ain't seen it!

OH MY GOD!

••

A street lamp  is a beautiful symbol
Of

Somethin

                                            ­           (Over there -----

In the dark

By the alley where the stained old newspapers blow
Round and round

And little ragged boys curl up to sleep

••

Star light star bright

Thru the chem trails of the night

••

I mean

In the garden of Eden before the apple eatin

Didn't adam at least think eve had a cute ***?

••

In college we were supposed to write an essay on the differences between bein a priest and a professional wrestler but I couldn't think a nothin

••

In the wild free ghetto night

Where would ya wanna be but here ?

All the angels child bright

God is seen on every EYE

not afraid to shine or cry

The wide open bay

The shiny

Glistening sun

And just when we 're leaving!

The tired ole day

Still

We can see

Across the dry prairie to the dream hills

••
••


And the song that is sung by the river

That river that flows down
Past

The ancient ruins of the

Temple of Isis

The ruins we went to when we were children
Remember !

Remember when we tried to carve our initials
Into
A tree


And the point of the pen knife broke!

And we ran off afraid!

And we came back later to apologize

And somehow the tree told us

It was alright !

••••••
••••••

The whole lazy day must come awake

And all of us must
Enter the dream

The one drifting down

From those high hills

& he said

"Come with me"

& I said

"Where?"

& he softly sighed

••

& he said

"Come with me"

& I said

"How?"

& he started to cry

••

& he said

"Come with me"

& I sad

"Why?"

& he slowly died

••

And so they went off together

The Pirate and his Lover

They went off together
All alone

•

And now it's I who seek them

In the streets of far off places

The Pirate and his Lover

On my own

Takin the long walk again
Faces of the soldier boys they bother me some

Seekin the clear vision I'm a goin home

Freedom ain't what I'm a fighting for
It's just my way of livin

Givin myself to you for free

Just the way you said you'd want me

•••

Hey now the world's on fire with fear
Hey now momma yer child ain't near ya now

He's goin down down again
Drowning in a sea of mass illusion

Guns are shootin every which way

Flags are wavin all over the place

••
••

Takin the lone stroll around the town
Faces of the prostitutes still startle me

The government men
The same as the thieves

I'm just a friend of
Pure ecstasy

Givin  myself to you for free

Just the way you said you'd want me

••
••

Hey now the world's on fire with fear
Hey now momma yer child ain't near ya now

He's goin down down again
Drowning in a sea of mass illusion

Guns are shootin every which way
Flags are wavin all over the place

Flags are wavin all over the place

Little Jackie Paper
singin for his supper

He ain't got no home

••

Little Mary's just a kid
Sleepin underneath the bridge

She ain't got no home

••

AMERICA is just a lie
An ugliness in space & time

It ain't no-body's home

••

But I'll love you
You can love me

And we will be one family
And we will set the story free

And make this world a home

••

Little Jackie Paper
Singin for his supper

He ain't got no home

••

Little Mary's just a kid
Sleeping underneath the bridge

She ain't got no home

SHE AINT GOT NO HOME

She ain't got no home

Well we got no power
But we are unafraid

Hearts are on fire
Love is the color of the day

••
••

River run dry
Mountains are gone

Man has destroyed
The earth he lives on

Lives getting shattered
Souls are erased

Man has forgotten
The promises he made

••
••

Come child away
Come child awake

Come child to me
Come child be free

& I saw a new world
••

Warriors

Come!

There shall be a new world

Born
From the womb of the old

••

Rain

Rain dance

We gather the faith

••

New world

••

Man cannot live this way no more!

••

Can YOU?

Can you just keep going the same old way?

It's ..... (?)

What?

••

If I knew

Should I tell ya  ?

••

I mean ya don't talk much about

-------  IT  ------

To me

•

•

••

Silence of deliverence

Silence of forgetfulness

Silence of fearfulness

Silence of pain

••

Yeah

Ya don't talk much about IT to me

••

We go where we go

We wander cliffs overlooking the sea

But we don't look out

We only look back
To

What we know and hate

••

We never say why

••

••

The bird sings

But not as well as the wind which carries the bird

The wind
As it goes forth
Thru the world

And penetrates

Into the cities

Into the shadows of alleyways

Into the tenemented lives

Of those living on these tenemented streets

•

The wind that can carry the bird
Higher & higher

Until
The song the bird sings

Can be heard by everyone

••

••

Heard thru the sillence

Where you are hiding

Where you think you are unknown

••

What .... (?)

Well

Perhaps there IS SOMETHING

for us to talk about

Something for you

To say to me

The Naked Movie

(The Primordial Lie)

•

I don't really care what you say
It's what

You Do!

So gets me down

••
••

Come

Let us find out for ourselves

Just exactly what we want to be

••
Let's become THAT

(nothing else)

••

A NAKEDLY PURE

reality

••

You & me

& anyone else

.....       & they gathered       .....

••

What were they seeking?

------

(&

Was he speaking

That which they needed to hear?)

••

We are always
THE CENTER

THE STAR OF THE SHOW

•

We are

THE PART CREATED

THE PART CREATOR

••

We are the KNOWER who would be

Whom every body KNOWS

••

(The poet's truest words are the living

PEOPLE

in his EYE

••

(ah
Listen carefully
Sweet child
Of
Mine)

••

There is

A CERTAIN TREASURE

for you to find

••

And in the final version

Of the scene

The ANGELS just keep merging

With the HUMAN BEINGS

The vicious

WEDDING SONG

The victim-less

HONEYMOON DAY

But come morning ?
Well

They'd weathered the storm

and love emerged

Pure & strong

••

Well
(Of course)

The world crushed them

But their true love
Remained

And that  

(of course)

For them

is why
I write this song

Settles in

a certain heavy

Dying feeling

••

(Well

I DO KNOW

how well
You can

Pretend otherwise )

••

Fancy china

Fancy silverware

But

ALAS!

No food to eat

••

///////

••

Wanna take a walk with me

Live 1000 lifetimes on one hour

1000 hours in a moment's dream

•• ??? ••

Or simple wait

For the death inevitable

We are as powerless as we seem to be

••
••

Tenemented days

We stagger like drunkards

Babbling incoherently

••
//////
••

Until death takes us

In slave chains

And we simply

Fade away

Along simple streets
The subtle music

The stray girl

The lovely lovelessness

•

I whisper her name!

The moon smiles as we watch her pass by!

•

The traffic noise!

How we carry on!

(Not going

Anywhere)

••

How long will we keep pretending

??

(& why)

??

I am love's purity

••

Dream seed's longing

The rain

••

The likes of me shall
Never come again

••
••

Simple streets
Subtle music

Stray girl

••

Hearts are still beating

••

Life

••

Love it well

It may soon be gone

••

It was made to be here just for you

Precious

So very!

Loveless love poems

Waiting to die

Today

today

the hundred or so people with power

continued to in increase  their dominance
Over the rest of us

& to plot our destruction & enslavement

The 7 billion of us basically did nothing

But to continue in our pretense of being human

•

This is what we did yesterday

This is what we shall do tomorrow

••

We shall do this until we are destroyed apparently

Perhaps there will be some divine interventation

If you are not ashamed of yourselves you are already destroyed

Night

Dark
With dream

Mysterious Strangers walk streets

Of unrepentant  youth whose charm

Define the one moment called

THE WORLD!

Know the good from bad!

Longing to get laid

It is NOT the revolution
JUST the police

There are no poems here

Just stray words

Rhyming  with rhythm

Just aiming to please

The grace of god

The peace

World weary!

Words fall like rain

From
Polluted "skies")

Listen to the silence

The world they make you live in!

The **** they say and that you believe!

••

The **** you eat!

•

Come child

Ain't it time to simply say

"I AM A HUMAN BEING"

••

Ain't it time to know what

"HUMAN BEING"

Means!

••

Come

KNOW!

•

The child ******* is you yourself being *****

As you dwell in purest poverty

On the broken

American streets

••

Let us stand in sacred solidarity

Let us not live in fear

Anymore
