Sub-Stance
“This is a mean world, and by the same token, it is a poor world, poor in spiritual values, void of natural contact with the natural-infinity/otherness Being.”
- Sun Ra
the void is filled
by an unseen,
eternal love-force
granting the freedom
of spontaneous, creative events
shaped
by any chosen dance
know the sacred treasure
of your life
no matter the strife
give thanks
for every breath
give not the power
to wickedness or death
know the Divine Spirit
the light of your Soul
it is no myth
it is a Creation gift
no matter what you are told
know the now
reality and alternity
infinity and eternity
guide your body
God, your body
guard your body
confront misery
alter your destiny
your altar / your ascendancy
alter your altar
if necessary
know, be, leave
all oppressive tendencies
know, not believe
guide your body
guard your body
God, your body
every year,
a REVOLUTION
around
the Sun
all lone
all One
