Chance/Dance of Discourse

oppression equation

“. . . Freedom is the fire
which burns away illusion.”
-James Baldwin

the oppressor
is the measure
of the humble
as the humble
are the measure
of monsters

the righteous
seek balance -
understand
the cosmic soul -
are the frontline warriors
of common sense -
are the guardians
of universal visions
cultivating
nurturing
the seeds of heavenly harmony
and the expanding love
of the Most High

there are no secrets
hiding sickness and suffering
it is evident in the expressions of our societies
concerning our bio-rhythms and global beauty

peaceful activity
is a limitless agency -
more worthy
than causes of conquest and barbarity

Highwayman (for Richard Glassman 12/10/09)

“Every night and every morn
Some to misery are born
Every morn and every night
Some are born to sweet delight
Some are born to sweet delight
Some are born to endless night

We are led to believe a lie
When we see not thro the eye”
-William Blake

the weather god rails
iced roads scraped
rooster tail flies
truck armor protect us
move us safely
get us home free

worker, father, leader,
farmer, foreman
among the machinery technicians
of how societies must manage motion
survive the massive weight of bodies
rolling loads, speeding traffic
heavy pounding of our Earth’s face
asphalt, concrete skin
evolved pathways, bridges
structures of stone and steel
markets, parts, and products
of the human burden
pushed and pulled
along the lifelines of want and need
guided by the laws or outlaws
of commerce and capital
stretching across the peopled plains

we build, fix, repair, maintain
attempt to lessen the pain
of gravity’s grasp
friend, brother, fellow road warrior
we move this soil
one last time
one last time
in thankfulness
for the time you spent with us
before your heavenly rest

empire disease

ruling factions
seek to control
classification
society loses its connection
with the truth of creativity
and Creation
time becomes a leash
people become shifts
and synthesized subjects
of a syndicated schedule
i am penalized
for lateness
i am pushed
kicked
and forced into a mold
that does not match my form
i am then called
“irresponsible”
for the insensitivity
of a non-feeling bureaucracy
who practice planet-murder
dictating a harmony
contrary to Nature

those who attach themselves
to the greater amount of material
are more susceptible
to greater sicknesses

whosoever inherits the thirst
for consumption and annihilation
inherits the strain
of the empire disease

collective commentary poetry (dwelling in the ghostcode) Pt.6

Dread surged, despair moved
skills for common folks
head tribesvolk work
altitude attained
kept people down with care to fear all things

see the remaining racists drool
vermin stench from the hate school uncool
out of the woodwork they pour out shout nigga obama
stumblin ovah demselves fucked-up fools
dumb dumber dumbest doomed mass waiting in the vapor pool

heavenward flame speechwrit the heredity
you do not heal by increasing sicknesses
embrace color, omni-visual, god-verse infinite
reject color-blindness, idiots
interstellar space meet again Monk Coltrane

infrequent human minds getting shaped
vessels broke words for evidence
whirl the brown eyes grinning shaggy arms
oxygen leaves lay cold became hot please listen
thin expression was the rain, alone, home

mortal highwayfolk guard out-stations
the radiant gravity coordinates the planets
necessary meters maneuver orbits the earth calls
black hole societies ascend to the galaxies
only diseased sub-species seek the illusion of supremacy

stray clouds nature reverse every myth
mash morons see those of vision and progression
the greatest of Creation’s gifts
nurtures the solar radiance
rides the quantum elevator-cosmo-mojo-lift

fuck these hateful-cave-ape pieces of shit
greedy rapist-culture-vulture vomit spits
dividing blinding ununifying lying spying hypocrites
prejudging inhuman hoarding planet-killing amnesiacs
barbaric psychotic myopic two-faced primal pricks

as brothers, many are unfit
as mothers, many are unfit
as fathers, many are unfit
as sisters, many are unfit
while greater humans are ready for the next step
