No one should part with their individuality and become that of another.

In bourgeois society capital is independent and has individuality, while the living person is dependent and has no individuality.
Fugitives Of Love
Some people fear love,
running away when it happens.
They fear they will lose their individuality,
if they hear a beckoning heart call.
So they run to a lonely life,
never knowing the joys to be found,
when someone falls in love with someone.
They miss the bells of heaven,
ringing out on their wedding day.
They miss out on the laugher,
of watching their children,
growing up and at play.
They miss out on so many things,
because they want their individuality,
and little realise that love,
wouldn’t take their individuality away.

To a certain extent, this tour is a celebration of individuality and that you can invent and reinvent yourself. You should have the power to be able to do that. Sexuality is a part of that. It should release you. It doesn't have to be an issue. It shouldn't box you in.

The Rose's Soul
Not every Rose's Thorn
draws blood;
some Loves prick the very soul;
yours did mine;
being more intimate
because of who I am
or was
is now
neither my self
nor thorned bloody rose
destined not to be
myself
without my once treasured
now revealed to be no longer
Individuality-
we sometimes learn
in our latter age
is much overrated.
Those who cling
to the isolated self
most often suffer the Rose's Thorn
ignoring
unaware of its flowered soul
smelling nothing
of its perfume;
it's gifts to be is granted,
it seems
only to those
willing to flow
welcoming
Commingled Being
not demanding
that love
not
change
our individuality
because surely
that is what Love's
Best
is intended to do
and most often does
even if not wanted
or recognized.
Love's History
for good or ill
is always
the same;
where ever you go
or whomever else
you love
those you have loved
keep part of your soul
joyous or sadden;
whether we acknowledge
this or profess to deny
Love's True Mark
is not its blood
but its soul
which can never die
even if sometimes
Love does.

We are helplessly

Unending Life
People often consider life after life.
Maybe because they think there was no life before life
Or maybe they don't care about the life before life.
Yet if there were life before life, it's quite logical
There must be life after life;
If we were here before we were born,
We will be here after we are dead,
But if there was no individuality before,
Why would it exist afterwards?
It seems that this problem is not one of life
Or death, but an issue of ego
Which doesn't accept disappearance
Of individuality in the sea or the disappearance
Of unending life, of all in all.

Blame
who to blame?
we spend all of our time
pointing fingers, looking
for who to blame for
wars, poverty, injustices,
disease, overpopulation,
racism, enslavements,
hunger, homelessness.
who to blame?
men, women, white people,
Muslims, conservative Christians,
right-wingers, gay people, straight people,
the elite, illegal immigrants.
wake the hell up!
all of us bear equal
responsibility in this blame.
we are all a part of the cause.
we are all a part of the cure.
if we spent half as much time
working to fix our problems
as we do pointing fingers.
we'd fix them!
each of us has the right
to our own individuality
but each of us have the
responsibility of our collective
unity

We Are All Kings Minus A Kingdom
Leave me alone
I want to live like me
And more let me clear one thing
I want to live like a human being
I know I am not like you
You know you are not like me
We are totally different
Goes out and comes in like an ant
The heard you make is lacking talent
No variety, no quality
No liberty, no individuality
A total morbidity!
I can accept you easily
You can act like me happily
But it would be a total defeat
This leads us both in the undone street
On part of you it is a total fraud
You always try to be my false god
It is your naive and nascent crave
You always want me to be your slave.
You are a blot on humanity
You do with us a treachery
I want to live like me
I respect, you should also respect me
It would be just nice and fair
If there is a mutual love and care!
It will be on part of us a wisdom
We are all kings minus a kingdom
It will be nice and fine if we enjoy our mutual freedom!

Sometimes It Feels As If I Am Not Really Living
Sometimes it feels
as if I am not really living,
as I am just marking time,
being trapped in a body
where no choices
but destiny determines the way
that my life is going,
while I am not fit
to become part of the social structure
where everyone else is loosing individuality
and by design I am
not made to cringe, to be servile
or obsequious
and to no man I bend my knees.
I do not fit in the social mould
where language, culture, heritage
and religion has to be sacrificed
for what is seen as the common good
and no one will force me into conformity.

To Love Is To Heal
Enjoy nudity in lotus meditation
In the realm of candlelight illumination;
Celebrate gentle erotic love
And the comingling of bodies
In perfect spiritual communion.
Live free and harmless
Among delicate souls;
Relate to all of existence
Without meanness or resistance,
Find the perfect balance between individuality
And your predestined place in the cosmic harmony
Of togetherness
To love is to heal,
To be part of a family
Is to discover your genuine self,
Your intricate significance
To the infinite Oneness.
