how can you ever
lead anyone
to peace
when you have
never known
peace in your own
heart?
how,
when you have
never
purely practiced
a discipline
of peace?
every day
they
throw the planet away
backwards
upside-down
inside out
hypocrites
poor excuses
for human-beings -
so-called intelligent forms
of life
there is
something happening
and if you don’t know it
you won’t feel it
turn all of your learning
into love
first, for yourself
and then for all things
below and above
all are Earth’s relations
give thanks to the life-force
one body, one meditation
evolution, elevation
One Infinite Creation
One Eternal Cosmic Manifestation
sometimes you must
deconstruct
to alter the path
of destruction
sometimes you must
reconstruct
to renew the journey
to righteousness and redemption
give thanks to Nature’s mediums:
the Air
for our breath –
the Earth
that feeds our hearts –
the Spirit
that breeds our thoughts –
the Soul
that connects us to the Cosmos
construct
your creative pathway
to enlightenment
be the cure
for your own misery
be the master
of your own destiny
we have survived
the best of racists/fascists,
and power-hoarding
mortal misfits
neutralize mythology
find the magic
in the consciousness of reality
grasp the Expansion Theory
as sure as you find balance in standing
and looking toward the stars
and if you feel it is not worth the effort
in doing so
then remain void
without Spirit
without Soul
it’s something
in between the lines
when bruthaz/sistaz
know
can straight-up
meet
and astral travel
unravel
together
in my search
for balance
thru word, sound
waitin’ for Sun Ra
at enter-mission
you were found
disc-journeying
i heard
I-Jahman
for the first time
sweet
furturistik
roots
Miss Beverly
Are We A Warrior
you were everywhere
in the universe
from Yaz to Eric Johnson’s
Trail of Tears
i didn’t even know
you were on the radio
thank you, bro
thank you, bro
i am more healed
becos of you
becos of yur part
in tha Sound Cosmos
in tha Sound Universe
in tha Sound Heart
if there
is no peace
in your heart
and you
lack love
and compassion
for others,
how can you be
an agent for peace?
how can you
bring harmony
to the planet?
how can you be
a conduit for real change?
how can you heal yourself,
or a chaotic world
of perpetual sickness?
who do you listen to, or learn from?
where is your love?
what path are you on?
who, where, what are you?
human?
or are you just more
folly-fodder
led by the forces of flim-flam?
