Now POLICEmen

Mingle with the drug dealers of our lives

LET US NOT TALK OF SPIRITUAL POVERTY !!!!!

We are in the Church now
Of

SELF MUTILATION

Who complain about their cage

Holy woman

Loving freely

As we are

THEY!!!...evil "them"

and we so gosh dern sweetly ...........good!
in our ****** neighborhoods

addicted to our poverty
and our virtual leaders
in this  virtual world

making love to lovers
made of paper-mache!

til death do us part

(WHICH HAPPENED

YESTERDAY!)

we may say

That

We knew what truth was and tried to live it

Or that

We didn't know what truth was and tried to find it

Or that

We really live in a world where truth is irrelevant

Or that

Our personal histories hinder us from
Comprehending or fully living our truth

///

But ultimately

It seems to get down to one question

IF YOU HAVE SOME SORT OF POWER

WILL YOU ( do you ) TAKE ADVANTAGE

OF THOSE WEAKER THAN YOU ?

all else doesn't seem to really matter

For only this decision has any affect on anything

Clothes you wear

Of your glorified excuse for fear

Which you call death

You're so cowardly

You write in your secret code

Of your hatred for real poetry

The song is free

When your surrender your soul

You may hold her with PURITY

Tomorrow lo!

Coming easily

She and you

Living colors faint with praise

Bright the high moon in the sky

The broken vision of the city meets

the nation's youth

Amid the madness here

the el train roars the window shakes

she gets dressed and heads for home

she made some money

Yes

She made some money

Good

She wanders back thru the neighborhood

All the children love her

And call out her name

the woods

                                                 ( the woods ....  ...    ...    )

Overlooked  by the sky

                                                     Overlooking the sea

Pure and magically

Mystified

By
The possibilities

Free Will provides

Those who dare to be free

Softest word drifting

The Vision of power

Lovely ladies

Of the Nurturing

We of the pure Song

the singular Hour

the Age of the heroic

Man and his deeds

In the woods

The gathering

In the woods

The gathering

In the woods

THE gathering

Lovers lying in pools of self inflicted blood

Thinking FOREVER might come TOMORROW !

In this the hour of certain death

Come !

Let us vow to remain

Together

In righteous dignity

she spoke of freedom from out the haze

She said she loved me I don't give a ****

She let me **** her that was nice

She is useless and won't change

She is lonely and afraid

•

She is lonely and afraid

I finger banged her at the beach

She held me tightly I just had to leave

She is useless as she knows

She will die here in her puberty

••

We walk together neath the stars

She can be lovely she needs be quiet

I think she wants me to beat her up

Of just **** her so she can be ******

••

I've decided to be a    Man

I see her crying such a pity

If she remembers to decide

She can become quite a woman someday

•

In this the hour

Utter glory

Or

Utter destruction

Is at hand

///

In the quiet

We hear stars trembling

We speak of freedom

We speak so freely

Her eyes they sparkle with authority

She is not so useless I've come to know

We sit down on the sands

And call it    Home

We sit down together

One to one

We once lived like human beings

to what degree loveless *** makes

The boudoir seem to be a ******* room

Reveals the essence of the Man

//

( but of course --- some men --- and women !  --

Prefer the sterility of " mere function "

And the sense of safety thus provided )

Will we become robots before robots become man !

We die real easy unless we don't

//////

The prison walls are mere illusion

You can only hide for a little while

//////

I read the poem from a mother trying to save her children

()

Real feelings !!!

( coming from oh so very far away )

The boudoir walls are thick with lust

Nothing can penetrate

Till all walls just fade away

Our comments

GREAT READ , MOM !

KEEP FIGHTING !

sound as hollow as our hearts

in the ******* the untouched bodies weep

Hey YOU !

GET YOUR *** OVER HERE !

The homeless children stagger on

The childless mother moans

The world around us changing shapes

transcendent

old ****
limping by

home made crutches
chains rattling

only a few more days
of these the years

the transcendent moments
of
the child's laughter

i.......even i?

shall we let this unholy rot
come to pass?

old farts

limping by

chains rattling?

into the darkness

ashamed of the light?
