A Return to Primitive Roots
So much natural-open-land
marked off limits
along American interstate freeway
America when were you ever open to the public?
Was your agenda ever transparency?
What about democracy?
Where is this mythical land of the free?
standard institutionalized mad house
scatological specimens of spectral studies
automated dogma propagated patriotic propaganda
societal progress cliff dive perpetuation
They filled our heads with so many dark delusions
glorified devil and vice gave us greed in place of bread
lulled us to sleep with star spangled anthems of war
dug the grave of truth and virtue
built the iron temple of I atop
the hollowed green of God
May no more faith further-hence
be invested in industry's false icons
Let ours be an age defined by
intellectual imagination
technological innovation
aimed to awaken awe-inspiring
spiritual transformation
an age defined by our bio-duty
preserving earth's natural diversity
an age ushering universal-planetary-unity
a return to primitive pre-industrial roots
tendril souls grown under ge's gentle tender guidance
planetary partnership reviving the feminine touch
humanity revivified in the prenatal ecstasy
returning to Great Green Goddess's symbiotic womb

American Youths
They filled our heads
with so many dark delusions
they glorified devil and vice
dug the grave of truth and virtue
gave us greed in place of bread
built the iron temple of I
atop the hollowed ground of God
lulled us to sleep
with star spangled
anthems of war
They gift wrapped our reality,
trimmed the fat, seasoned it up,
spoon fed us all we could stomach
Millions of youthful imaginations
held captive for commercial ransom,
kidnapped by fugitive TV screens
Minds soaked with
putrid pentagon agitprop,
Virtual fun and game recruit tool
military joystick indoctrination
Desensitized civilian children -
Imperial arm chair soldiers in training
Home-spun realities
sit com moralities
placebo personalities
all carefully marketed
in one bright easy to swallow pill-
TV, now a glowing phantom pixel mirror
Alas, unidentified youths
blindly groom for sought reflections
Horrified by what lacks inside, they
outwardly revert to over-glorified illusions
Specters of puzzled personalities
wash upon concrete shores
lost lads posing as a teenage pimps
gone lasses as preening preteen whores
Oh but I still have faith,
witnessing what they have done to our parents,
we shall awake to the light and prevail!
OH scattered and aflame remains
of tattered, scatological brains
Let us bond, one and all, united
let us hone and sharpen our aim
Unguided missiles of
mislead youth,
Let us rain! Let us rain!
Our impassioned payloads
flood the earth's barren
locust plagued terrain
Let our thoughts flow
like atomic blood slit
from clarity's veins
Don't look outside
next time you feel bored
instead, search the inner
depths of your solitaire diamond core
tap into the personal platinum of will's solid ore
Seek and you shall find,
The uncharted gold mine
the resources of self-knowledge
the books of the system
neglected to help you define
The field of mind is our stage
let us save
let us raise practice and praise
that which for so long
has been
exploited wasted and razed.
Latch onto my heart, take your neighbor's hand,
Become intimate with yourself,
unite with the land,
As one body,
Humanity and earth shall persevere!

When America?
America,
when did you stop
picking up potential
hitch hiking Buddhas
at the side of your
pure prose pasture
scenic inspiration
mountain majestic
dharma wind carrying roads?
Did you decide after Kerouac's
bloody purge and death,
your tired feet had had enough?
When did your
scholars and prophets
become standard
institutionalized
mad house specimens
of spectral studies?
Did Ginsberg and his
c_ck-crazy rantings
drive you to this?
America,
when did you decide
to automatically perpetuate
Ford's legacy
and at once
ignore and become
Huxley's prophecy?
When did you decide to
preach ego gospel?
When did you adopt
Industry's passive-
aggressive dictatorial
playbook?
and when did your order
become the Brave New World reich?
When did our streets become
paved padlock paddocks of
spiritual illusion internment?
When did our politicians
become
market masters devoted to
stroke and sedate?
when did we, the citizenry
become broken house-fed
dependent docile cur?

Return of the Goddess
In ancient times a Goddess ruled Earth.
Sent by a Heavenly Council of Elders She
was ordained by their Most High God.
She was given the task of Creation.
Mighty rivers became her menstrual flow,
Her ocean-Womb spawned all life at sea,
Creatures’ great ‘n small
She gazed upon vast land masses
With Great Love She created those,
That swim in water, crawl and run on land
along with those that soar azure skies.
She gifted procreation to all creatures’.
To Flora/fauna she was “Grandmother”
For eons The Goddess pondered, until
She decided to create something unique
“Man” as well as “Womb-Man”,
To be sure, Demigods.
They too were gifted procreation.
They stood upright, feet to ground with head skyward.
Big of brain with unlimited capacity to learn.
DNA capable of infinite possibilities.
Five carnal senses plus five more.
Souls connected to The Goddess and
Spirits connected to The Universal Source.
Then came “The Fall”
Man broke the balance of Yin ‘n Yang.
He chose to violate a sacred partnership.
He chose to forsake The Goddess, alas
Replacing Her with a jealous male god
of his own making. Alas, to his ultimate folly
Man sought dominance over the Earth and
Plundered, killed then declared himself king.
“The Ultimate Transgression”
For greed and power he murdered like-kind.
Homicide and war sired by this wicked act
Inner darkness prevailed, then Satan emerged
From that inner darkness.
The Goddess sought counsel with The Source.
They decided to restore balance on Earth.
She was given full power, then returned to Earth.
She gave warning;
By slowing Earth’s rotation.
She caused the Earth to quake.
Volcanoes spewed.
The atmosphere thinned.
Sunspots flared ‘n temperatures rose.
Men made puny efforts to stay in control
but gave up and decided to destroy
their Earthly home and each other.
They failedfailed because,
The Goddess had toppled their iconic-male-god
Angels heralded,
“The Return of The Goddess! ”

America
(Francis Scott Key)
Oh, say, can you see
By the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed
At the twilight's last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright stars
Through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched were so
Gallantly streaming?
America, America, America
America, America, America
And the rocket's red glare
The bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still there
Oh, say, does that star
Spangled banner yet wave
Over the land of the free
And the home of the brave!
America, America, America
America, America, America
America, America, America
America, America, America
America, America, America
America, America

Jewels In Our Souls
Planetary, grey white stars
We keep them in our hearts.
Where we never returning go...
Unlike snowdrops returning snow...
These stars we already know...
Are—our friends of near and long ago?
Their tears are too outspoken,
Their faces like clouds unbroken.
These are the jewels in our souls
These are the stars everybody patrols'.
Yes, ah' these are the stars'
Everybody holds within their hearts
Within their planetary, grey white souls.

29 - America
The home of the brave
The land of the free
The green copper smile
Of our lady liberty
Historic independence on 7.4.1776
An ode for all from F. Scott Key
A star spangled banner
A fine patriotic melody
The face of our four fathers
Upon a South Dakota crag
Look upon a nation of hope
That proudly raises its flag
Proclaim liberty for all it reads
Upon the cracked bell of liberty
For this is our home of the brave
And our land of the almighty free

The Land Is Green
The land is green
It is just green
Do not see any other colour
That will make you not to cultivate
The land is green
It must be green
Avoid the deceit of the unpatriotic
They have only their interest at heart
The land is green
It will remain green
Speak not with the double minded.
Nothing positive will come from them
The land is green
For our crops to grow
For our next generation to feed
Our land is meant to be green

Watching The Rebirth Of Your Star...(repost)
when your universe breaks
in the same manner that other universe does
the most natural thing
that must happen
i, in my own, planetary motion,
watch the shattering and the bursting
of the bubble
it is not that i want to see
how you destroy yourself
i am not that
sadistic, the stars know me by heart
and the moon likes me for that
it is this
within you, after, shall be
the birth of the
new star
and this happens
all you have to do is just wait
because
as always stars are born
after an explosion
tell you what?
it will be the best stage to watch
the nicest thing that happens to you
also happens
to me
and once again the universe
celebrates again
each, happy again,
following each own
planetary orbit
with Sun as God
with the other planets as
friends.

Goddess Is Returning
Goddess is the emotion, God is the intellect.
Goddess is feminine, God is masculine in respect.
Goddess is coming back to renew her place
her place in humanity is where she will now grace.
Goddess's empathy that comes from the heart
will bring peace to humanity and make a new start.
Ending all wars, and ruthless acts
Goddess will bring feminine love which the Earth plane lacks.
Look to nature to see these truths
you know now Goddess will grow and not be refused.

A Sunday Prayer 02
Oh Lord, as I look around,
at our green and wonderful world,
that you bequeathed to us.
Help us in our endeavours,
to make it stay that way.
Help us turn the tide of greed,
which wants to destroy what we have.
Help us nurture this green and fertile land,
so that we cannot only live here,
but all of your other creatures too,
from the largest to the smallest,
we all need guidance
from your sacred hands,
so that our planet,
stays a green and fertile land.
Amen

Just Beyond The Rainbow’s End
There is a green and pleasant land,
where I wish to spend my retiring years.
A land that has tall mountains
that reach up to the sky,
trees tall, green and noble
that stretch across many acres of land,
with cooling streams that flow through the heart
of this green and pleasant land
that lies just beyond the rainbow’s end.
This is where this paradise starts,
a place one day to which I’ll lose my heart.
The people there are friendly
and take you in with open arms.
There one day I hope to be
in that green and pleasant land
that lies just beyond the rainbow’s end.

Save The Peace
Children safe out in the street
Free to walk and play and eat
Parents talking with their friends
Neighborhoods where shopping blends
Innovation everywhere
Creating jobs for all to share
Never needing to receive aide or welfare
Because the work is everywhere
Musicians, Artists, Craftsmen too
Making a world all fresh and new
Never needing to be controlled
And a fair tax to uphold
Our officials in the land
Passing laws we understand
Healthcare free to everyone
It's just right in a world that's one
And industry that's green and clear
Providing products free of toxins and fear
This is what peace means for all
Criminals will get help when they fall
Mental health and redirection
To help in their confusion with true affection
We as a society can be all this
Pick up the plow and dropp the fist
Saving the fight for causes that are just
That's where the energy should be a must
Save the peace and understand
If we are to truly be human
We must be more than humane
In our actions and our gains
A world that's prosperous and free
As a reality that is great to see
Then that's when we'll realize
That heaven is as we live our lives
Optimism and an open hand
Will be our strengths and save the land
And the earth will be again made pure
For we will have finally found the cure
For the selfishness and greed
That has caused our world to bleed

and once again the universe
celebrates
and dances and toasts with the lights
of the stars
the meteors sweep sorrows
throwing everything negative away into the
edges of darkness
each now, is happy again,
following each own
planetary orbit
strictly upon its own joyous terms
with Sun as God
with the other planets as angels and

Natural Gift
See that girl walkin down the street
She looks like a prima donna
Shes a star in her head and the worlds at her feet
She looks at you twice and your heart skips a beat
She didnt learn it at high school or from a glossy magazine
You see shes a natural, she gotta natural gift
You gotta rise above your stupidity
Youre dumb but dont give in
You gotta rise above your station
Discover whats within
And with some luck and dedication and some careful manipulation
Everybody needs some inspiration
Everybody needs some motivation
Mix it up with some imagination
And use your natural gifts, you gotta natural gift
You got natural gifts
Ah, hey, hey, hey, ah, hey, hey
And use your natural gifts, you got natural gifts
You dont have to be a genius to find
All the hidden potential deep in your mind
You dont have to know about nuclear physics
Know all the formulas and vital statistics
You dont have to be an intellectual, you dont have to be a scientist
To use your natural gifts, you got natural gifts, yeh
Use your natural gifts, you got natural gifts
You gotta stop this depression youre in now
Stop this emotional rift, you need a psychological lift now
Everybody needs some inspiration, everybody needs some motivation
Mix it up with some imagination and use your natural gifts
There are bad people, mad people, bitter people, scared people
Wanna put you down and keep you in your place
But you gotta chance to break out, you gotta chance to get out
And use your natural gifts

Warriors Pledge... (Conclusion)
well, i've heard the footsteps
of hard determined walkers.
lost in the din and the noise
of angry faceless talkers
been twice betrayed by love,
in my hour of need.
i've planted my thoughts,
the earth swallowed my seed.
i've torn down the idols,
and exposed the lies.
been to the place
where the last raven flies.
put names on the bodies
strewn in the ditch.
been called a fugitive
and a son-of-a-bitch....
i saw that which i hated
in the mirror before me.
found the cost of my slavery,
and set my heart free.
i plowed the last garden,
built a house with doors open.
kept struggling and fighting,
believing and hoping.
i've listened to silence,
and learned god's voice.
found that we are defined,
by daring and choice.
i'll say this one time,
and return to the ground.
we are what we give,
the touch and the sound....
we are what we give,
the touch and the sound...
amen!
