Amid our run-a-way imaginations

In the end ?

NO-ONE IS HERE

The ones we love
The ones we hate

In the end ?

None of them are here at all

Yep

It's still just us
After all

And the wisdom that still is here

the highest goal that a person might attain to

Is to be

The Lord of the universe

//

The beauty of it is that it is the easiest

To achieve

Because

It is what you truly are

All who would live ---- do

All who would die --- do

COME
LET US WALK THE STREETS TOGETHER

OF ZOMBIE -LAND

••

The talk !

The ignorance in perpetual perculation

••

The I WANTA BE LOVED !  screams

Of the armed children

Who fill the streets
Of
ZOMBIE-LAND

--

If you want to live --- do

If you want to die --- do

••

But there ain't no love
NONE !

In
ZOMBIE-LAND

()
<><><>
()
()

The things we call love !

•  •

()
<><><>
()
()

Come

The ancient symbolism

The death and re-birth songs !

These are true

••

Yet you want your old dead lovers to return !

••

You want to grovel in agony
Before your strangely
self-righteous godlessness !

••

You hold your pictures of Jesus
Yet you cry

For your lover who walks on by

You write poems that are but hymns
Of fraudulent hypocrisy

At Calvary

You are the ones with the hammers

Held so defiantly
In your hands

()
<><><>
()
()

And HE looked down
And read of of our
Loves

Our agonies

Our vows

Of undying eternal adoration

••

Our pain and suffering  over

Some tales of earthly wordly
Separation

And
HE said

WHAT AM I DOING HERE ?

Before these who worship only

Other humans

And human lusts and joys

And a desire for complete

Oblivion?

••

()
<><><>
()
()

When we vow

UNDYING LOVE

It is not our WILL that makes the

LOVE
Undying

It is the very nature of LOVE
That is UNDYING

••

When WE say

I LOVE YOU

we mean

I AM INFATUATED BY YOUR PRESENCE

••

We are really saying

I WILL BE INFATUATED WITH YOU FOREVER

which is unrealistic and self defeating

For we deny ourselves and our friends

Any chance to grow in peace

••

When we LOVE god

The UNDYING NATURE OF LOVE

remains

And hence it is said

(In oh so many ways)

SEEK YE THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN FIRST
AND ALL THINGS WILL BE ADDED UNTO YOU

••

REMEMBER

HIS wounds are not self - inflicted

( as are ours )

And he is not asking us to feel sorry for HIM

(as too many people do )

Nor is he just VENTING HIS EMOTIONS

In order to GET IT OUT OF HIS SYSTEM !

••

I know you can't believe it

But LOVE

actually IS true

••

( try it

You'll like it !)

If I was Jesus
Hangin here crucified

If I was Jesus
Hangin here crucified
-
Do you think that you would see
Tears in my eyes?
---
Ole dog in the alley
Kid on the street

Ole dog in the alley
Kid on the street

It's just a wonder
What there is to see
--
All the stolen money
In off shore bank accounts

While the corrupted government
Pretends it does not know

Everybody sayin
"Ya reap just what ya sow"

(Yeah,
A lotta idle talk out there!)
---

If I was Jesus
Hanging here crucified

If I was Jesus
Hanging here crucified

Do you think that I would see
Tears in your eyes?

Naked is the desert town

Lived there )

Say

I'm just tryin to
Talk true

When I say that you

Remind me of her
Cause you do

Lonesome times

We wander naked there to here

In the dirt of this our life

In the somber emptiness

Still a dream so real

Shines forever

Let's go there
Ain't no reason to be a lie

Ain't no cause to hurt a soul

Let us see truth in each others eye

Let us remember the little child

In the naked desert town

Let us see each other  now

No one

If you trip - don't fall down
If you fall down - get up

If you can't get up - lie still

••

The truth is simple

Speak with free will

••

I hear of your sadness but I don't believe

•
When you cry for your lost lover

I laugh and laugh

Cause 9 times out of 10

You chased him away!

( ha! ha!)

when I was in school kids would carve their
Initials onto their desks with a pen knife

Now
(If you did that )
SECURITY would come in and shoot you for
having a WEAPON on school property

TO KEEP YOU SAFE !

So

When you write about saying to your "lover"

OH ! SWEET PERMANENT DARLING OF MINE

TELL ME WHAT IS TROUBLING YOU !

••

and he gives you a look says

GET  ME AWAY FROM THIS STUPID KID - QUICK !

there ain't no reason you should be surprised

••

( look around look around )

Ain't no one there

But that strange boy over in the corner
no one talks to

Looking so wise & aware

So easy to say

" I just don't understand "

& to

--   --- walk away ---   --

Shakin our heads
Like we

Was bein as true as possible

••

Such pain!

Like it's just a
Part of the games

Everyone plays

••

Oh oh oh

Sweet darlin

Oh I know you see

The road leads to the river

Ya cross to reach the high hills

•

The troubadour

•

Tells ya everything

Come let us follow

And listen to the words he sings

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

We know

Everybody's Strengths !

••

Love poems !

High in the skies

Then the winds die
And
We go home

••

Emerging

Fading

••

We gather

By the sacred golden waters

••

We

Remember LOVE

And jump in

what if they gave a "tea party" and no-one came?

we get the government we deserve

what do we deserve?

we get the government that does not govern

is that what we want?

who are we?

what if they gave a "tea party" and no-one came?

does it matter?

what matters?

for all the " broken ones ! "

The loveless lovers of Hello Poetry

( well --- perhaps I ' ll just stick with the adage

IF YA CANT SAY SOMETHING GOOD ABOUT

SOMEONE

DONT SAY NOTHIN )

half living...half dead
(something like that)

touching both sides
weighing them well
up and against eachother

as LOVE-ITSELF

i really have nothing to say

i try to convey some wisdom, that 's all

we are really not quite simply
as narscistic as we pretend
to be

so hidden

(usually by false exageration
of filial or "attractive" love)

a hidding place offering
false security

these are but opiates and are
the same

as all the other ones

we talk about

oh well

heading into the
"final inning"

who shall win?

WE DON'T YET KNOW
THE NAME OF THE GAME

Freedom

Simple
                                 Child -- be wary

Who can ye trust ?

Liars are gettin so good at their game

Hard to even think a them as human beings

I
                                           Have walked all streets

Makes YE think I know what I'm doin

Maybe I do

Maybe I don't

Little lost children lookin for love

Talkin to devils

What're they thinkin ?

Trees

Rising toward the sun

We?

Callin it love

Ain't no love here in 1000 years

Since the first space ships landed

Now

We just suckin on *****
Or stickin ***** up our butts

( what are we thinkin ? )

What are we thinkin ?
What are we doin ?

Callin it love

Callin it love

Simply
Watchin the  blood flowin

the last of the light

all hope is gone

how long can we live

Thinking LOVE is something

You GET

and not something

You GIVE .... (?)

We are a vile and deranged generation

Exalting in our ability to cause Pain

About anyone else ? )

we stand in midst the fires

Jerking off

i taste the sea
i recall

lynching days
when slavery

was all the rage

we
fantacize the peace

we fail

always

the sun upon faces

the god-soul  true

we embrace

we remember

what
"Love"
means
