BUT WE SAY IT ANYWAY BECAUSE WE ARE SCARED

))

By the fires and campfire

Creating false stories to become false memories
To become a false religion about a false god

We sit and watch pure and total DOOM encircle the whole planet

and polute the whole universe

And befoul the very heart of the creation

And we accept it all so passively

But crying all the while

Me

I think we should all probably reconsider what should  be our

Plans  for a tomorrow

That is today seen as a begger limping in

With an an absolutely confused

Look on his face

!!!!

I really feel it's the HOUR

When the true and natural unity of

WE THE PEOPLE

assert the simple truth of love

And our unique sovereignty

As the PROTECTORS OF THE UNIVERSE

and the GUARDIANS OF ALL CHILDREN

instead on being the ones

Standing here before them

As they stagger

From the orphanages

And approach

The rich man's horde

Standing there

Ready to gun them down

There I was

Hangin from the cross

Watchin the crowd

Everybody boo - hooin

Mopin around

Feelin sorry for themselves

All except for this one guy walkin thru
The crowd

With a big box yelling

"Peanuts !   Crackerjack !
Peanuts !   Crackerjack !"

He smiled up at me questioningly

I glanced at my hands!

"Ah!" ---- he  understands!

He moves on

I rejoice!

AT LEAST SOMEONE GETS IT!

I think

And rise out of my body into the peace

One good thing about being a RICH KID

Is that even if ya get caught doin something illegal

They let you go

•.• • •

One bad thing about being a POOR KID

Is that you are treated as a criminal

Even if you're not

After reading all the ******* poems

Of fake romantic love

On these pages

I realize

That


We have nothing to fear from


The hatred of groups like ISIS

For we are so effectively

Destroying each other

With the terror of false love

••

The picture we present of ourselves

As

Zombies fornicating !!

And the dead child births

We present to the world !


Like bombs exploding !

•


Broken bodies !

Broken hearts !

Our useless insular

Humanity

Jesus fuckingly Christ !

We are as terrified terrorists

Set loose on the innocence

Of pure creation !

^^

like a soft touch on the cheek

This poem ( dear child )

Lingers

On the boundary

Between what you know yourself to be

And your sadness

And pain

And creates itself from worldly memories

Just so you might

Be glad

••

Oh

I am just an old man

One eye on you

One --- on death

//

Still

A song is sung

Why ?

( yes / why )

Who can say anymore

///

Just to touch you so you can seem

Real to me so I can feel

Real to myself

//////

HELLO AND GOODBYE

//////

We  (?)

Who (?)

I see only outlines of bodies which I try to trace

Angel ragged boys and girls

Looking for the kingdom

Stuck in AMERICA !

Longing to escape !

•

Just to touch

Quietly

Powerfully

Truthfully

We sing softly in the dead of night

To the living and to the dead

To each other and the gods that be

To this sacred moment and to eternity

From the earth and from beyond the grave

//

Just because

LOVE is grand

And it's so good just to see your eye

It's so good just to hold your hand

sliver of a song...a word, a breath escaping

she, too.....knows of the little ones we keep
she,too,  sings boldly out of doors

in endless ways....in all the hidden corridors
she sings of the breath that makes the song

she moves!
take me home

she takes us home
she does

she knows of  the little ones we keep
we live completely out of doors

seeding humanity with the true "human stuff"

that knows .....the power
that knows .......love

that knows

eternity

--

we die

unafraid

--

all the world is ours

--

to work is to slave

--

it is so unreal here
(as you know)

--

to be unafraid

is to live

--

it is so unreal here

--

defy madness

come

be true

the story has a title

what is it?

the story?

the title of this story?

what is it?

WHAT STORY?
this one
WHAT STORY?
this one

"we have come so far going nowhere
where are we?"

IS THIS THE STORY OR THE TITLE?
the story

WHAT STORY?

the one in which we go so far going nowhere

OH!.......THAT one
this one

WE SHOULD STOP GOING SO FAR TO NOWHERE

this should be the title of the story*

we live the true story
when we are not afraid

so have no fear

and live the true story

surely you know....you must!

whatever you truly want!

take it as love
take it on trust

it's still the same

maybe
who can tell

love is simple

simply love
and
go on

what will happen?

let's find out

Here i lay me down to cry
I start to breathe (I wonder why!)

If I awake before I die
I guess it's cause i saw the light!

God is the light
So are you
Turn on the light
And that's the end of darkness

How much of it is all a bunch of crap

There is a road going up Logan mountain
I almost see someone on it!
IT MUST BE YOU!
----

the zen master asked

"what is the sound of a haiku
poet
sitting in the middle of
a fire?"

THE STUDENT PICKED UP A GUN
AND SHOT HIMSELF

"no, no

that's not it" the master said

"come back later
and
try again"

and we
rise as high as we
dare to risk falling
--------
those who "protect" themselves
from all adversity......?
.............what are these?
-------
claiming the god power
yet lost in hiding....these
cause such sorrow
who can fathom the waste?
---------
america is a dying (nay!.. a dead
nation
if you are wealthy
this is a good thing
for your portfolio
it seems all "god's people"
have well protected portfolios
----------
that's because they really never bother
with god
------------
hypocrisy trumps sincerity
round these parts
---------------
we rise as high
as high is
death is fear
---------
power doesnt take
you
from the fear

hello, little one
we meet again!

i hope all has gone well
these past few minutes or days
or...........(?)

how old are you now......?
you don't say!

i love you.......
you know....
...............i love you
-------------------------------
little one....be well

if we don't stay together now

be well, be well

in the hills, the hills!

we shall meeet always

there

in the hills

i know we will

for he whose love reveals the worth
you the seed & i the earth

wandering back thru former births

& though we wander truth abounds
i see your face in every sight
i hear your voice in every sound
tells of eternal search

you the seed & i the earth

THE WORDS OF THE MASTER POET
FALLS UPON THE PAGE
LIKE CHILDREN FALLING
FROM THE MIND OF GOD

(so why, dear poet
are you wasting your time with words
and not helping god raise the children?)

Tales of decadence
Mar the flight
Of
Angelic warriors

(True Lovers)

Who try to find

You and all your friends

SOMEWHERE
----

Hidden!

(Or hiding?)

WHO CAN SAY
-----

Who can tell if you are waiting

For true love
Or
Love's fantacy?
-----

Songs streak across the sky

Explode!
Shatter!

Fall and die
...
Decadence in full color remains

In its hold?

YOU AND I
---

Angelic warriors

In the shadowlands

Hopes are shattered

There is no light
Not guide them to our hiding place

We've been lost so long
We can at least
Pretend that here
We're surely safe
---
Decadence
Is all that remains

Within lost images
And
Forgotten names

I look around the school yard

I am amazed

That so many of you

Are still here

•

Little scribblers!
---

We make our impotent marks
Upon the vapid sterility
Of eachother's  
Disappearing human consciousness
---
Senseless beasts
of burden only

We don't even pretend anymore
To be MEN
----

We are LIED TO.!
(We don't even care!)

Looking for numbness
We call it peace
-----

So here it is!
----
Another!
_
One more!
---
The fires burn our thoughts
Until the flesh too

Is gone

The words vanish

All that remains

Children crying

.


tiny urchan village

Ragged


With the bones and dust

The water !

Rage !

Oh

The gods !

)(

We are
Strong !

We are true !!


But it doesn't seem to matter much

Round here

"""

The soft display

The true man !


Lingers

Binds the wounds and bid we bear on


Until

The deed is done

And the trial


Is over

••

The sun rises

The old woman and the man

The child wanders


The young growing boys and girls


Make their own way
And create their own laws

And their own children
In their own worlds
•

And I am glad

•

We rest for a while and move on

We move and for a while , then stay

Forever where we ought to be


•


The  vision of the urchin ragged village fades


Only free peoples remain

in the grandeur of their own choosing
