Be gentle-- boy
            (Gently..... !)

We really don't want to
Lose it now

We do have a stake in the game

We do still know

What LOVE means

Gentle now

The boys are hurtin the girls real bad

The girls are doin the same

.......
Everybody
Upside down

(Gently
                      Please)

The words we want aren't found
In the mouth

Only the Heart can speak
Thru pure silence unto the pain

Thru the death unto real peace
And unto what we need

We are gentle
Gentle souls

Embrace)

Your most essential Vitality

You still have a stake in the game

In tomorrow
And the world

You still know

What LOVE means

We became

TOGETHER !

true human beings

///

Within the purest Silence

and the simplest love

•

I see you hurt each other so

I would tell her

But she would NEVER stop crying

Emergent simplicity

(YOU)

All the Raw Power !

Come

YOU

Reveal the magic of the gift

That you are

Today !

****** mess !

YOU !

••

COME

Wait till Tomorrow
And we'll
All be dead

(This you know!)

I KNOW YOU KNOW !

••

Little lovey - dovey exchanges
Won't keep you alive
When the **** hits the fan

•••

do you really love?

only actions will tell

---

The supreme moment

You and the emergent infant of immortality

born

Out of the pure flesh that is your own

••

The eternal song

••

Ah yes

You must know the words fore
You can sing

we see the lonely child

And complain about being lonely ourselves

But we do not comfort the child

Nor try to change the world

••

Come

Let us comfort the child

Come

Let us change the world

//

Everything else is boring

//

We have become

Less than Human

•

•

•

we are the Lovers !

//      //

Shall we Love ?

•

We ain't doin it now

Why don't we !

( holy mother !)
Oh
Oh    Oh

glowin in the dark

•

Life !

•

we

( Thru the passing years )

Learn

The full meaning of

The glory

Of creation

::

Holy mother

The soil for the seed

( glowin in the dark )
Blood upon my hands in the planting

and my eyes

Upon the stars

Oh
Oh      Oh

;;

Gentle

The maiden is seen

Full ripeness

Full maturity

Ready to receive the seed

For each child
And for

All of humanity

Flowin water


From the mountain

the danse macabre !

The winds of chance blow o'er

We

We can

We can still

We can still do

........ do WHAT ?
                                   Exactly?

••

I'm starting to enjoy the vision of the youth of the world

Curled up together in one giant pool of blood

Admiring each other's scars

Beneath the drooling faces of

The paedophiles

••

That's where they belong !

( where they want to be )

••

So who am I too judge ?

Though I remember a time that I cared

Some utopian yesterday

Before we the adults

Decided to be corporate slaves

••

Yeah

Really

Youth and Age are still the same

Debased disgusting humanity

••

That's where we belong !

Seems that's what we want to be

///

Thru the ghoulish streets

Of ***** words and imagery

•

Without the mystic dream

Of unity and pure escape

//

**** faced fools and oligarchs

And he and she

And you and me

//

We hate each other profoundly

We hate each other and call it love

her eyes !

dreams of soft nurturing

dreams of love

••

She follows every story thru the rainy streets

//::::://

San Francisco night

//

We are the world !

( the light )

••

We all die ( why don't we wait ? )

/:/

There is something that we must do

••

Gently  ( as the rain -- we )

Fall so gently to the ground

/\

_

And as imagination falters

(& you ain't here at all ! )

I shudda known

( I really did )

( I really knew all along )

••

The words you said !

You addressed them to me
But they were meant for no-one

••

Ah child !

Did you believe ?

••

Lost and alone

Talking of Love

Lost and alone

•

Come

Down to the river

Come with the midnight come with the dawn

With the flowers in your hair

Come with the dream keeps the Soul alive

Come with the stars
Come with the sun

••

Did you even care at all ?
( About anything ? )
( about anyone ? )

•

You may say YES
but I just can't believe

••

Ah child

Come on away

We certainly may

Die in the mountains

But at least

We hurt no-one

We only stayed free

••

Come

Now that imagination's done

And all hope is gone

/// on and on //

On and on

Gentle rhythms  

Gentle rhythms everyone


( I don't read the love poems no more )

                        I don't care

What is there to care about ?

•

Gentle rhythms

earth and sky

The will to live

The will to die

I don't read the love poems no more

I've already heard you cry

•

In this hour of

Hide and seek

The little girl

The little boy


Gentle rhythms

Gentle life

I don't read the love poems no more

I don't care

about the manner in which you lie
