truth and love are free

is something to sell

unfortunately

i think i am alive still because i don't remember anyone murdering me but i know that this may be an illusion

and that actually as the budhists say IT IS ALL an illusion and that life and death too are illusions and if this makes sense to you then that sense is an illusion and if it confuses you than that confusion is an illusion

but i think that while much of this place is illusionary not all of it is

but i also know that the people that i call real still think of me as an illusion or something actually they don't like thinking about because they would rather call what i think about conspiracy theory or illusion

i call them chicken ****

Some say it's only me

I saw the first babe in the woods
I rode the magic back to Seed

Lo and behold ! THERE you are

Some say that the Earth is dead
That hope is gone the devil rules

Some say so many things

In this Eternal moment - ONE THING
Do you love Me?

Ah yes I see you on the mountain top

Life or death ?

Meaningless

Only one truth all around

on the holy barge

Goes a floating down the sacred river

unto the infinite sea .......

!                                                   !
guns a shooting!             ( holy barge )              guns a shooting !

The holy barge floats toward
The infinite Sea

•••••••

and the ***** little ******

( the fake ****** ! )

The ***** little fake ****** !

The ungrateful ***** little fake ******

Goes to prison

To be murdered

In the  american way

....
when love songs were about
lovers
lovin one another

when people ACTUALLY
loved one another

when love didnt mean
base and mean possessiveness

when you were here

i remember when you were
a lover who loved
who could sleep
beyond NIGHTMARE
when the word JUSTICE
was real

and we saw eachother's
tomorrows

and painted with soft pastels
our neighbors live
into green

and you were here

....
when being a criminal
was not something to be
proud of

when having what you didnt deserve
illicited scorn, not envy

when ****** for profit
was considered
wrong

when people being made to seem stupid
was seen as gross and ugly


....
when love songs were about
lovers
lovin one another

when people ACTUALLY
loved one another

i do really remember
such a world

and you were here

simple dream


////

Oh and the long death walk in the rainy streets

Where once were simple  human beings

•



We are such stuff that

Weird *** sci fi books

Are made of

••

We have chosen

We have become pure

And un-adulterated

Creatures of madness

and spiritual decay

••

We are happy

////                  

     We feel so          Safe !

                       ////

•

Looking for lovers

Because we know

We are so

Incapable of love

////

Simple dream


////

The long death streets

Hold us so firmly

In its   Arms

Follow the drinking gourd
--
Follow
..
unto lovers:
.
(For awhile)
----
We are here!
----
We are always

The gentle the good
The mighty the strong
---
Follow your heart
--
I
I INVOKE
I INVOKE YOUR NAME!

I CONGER UP YOUR IMAGE--FROM HELL

I AWAIT YOU HERE IN HEAVEN
--
don't be late

can't really say it
all a these feelings
come and go
my sensibilities reeling

footsteps steppin out
inta the snow
going nowhere
(where else is there to go?)

going to find ya
before i'm blind
well ya know
ya can't put truth behind ya

some say you're a person
some say a goddess
i say you are the mirror
you say that i'm not modest

i wish there was a god
one that really got us
we are on our own
only on our own

still i know
i'll find my way home

still i know

i'll find my way home
