Bob Dylan

“While preachers preach of evil fates
Teachers teach that knowledge waits
Can lead to hundred-dollar plates
Goodness hides behind its gates
But even the president of the United States
Sometimes must have
To stand naked.”
-Bob Dylan

guitar
and harmonica
more powerful
than tanks and soldiers
and the masters of war

standing
with nothing
but the truth and
the harmony of words

all along the way
Hendrix and many of us were amazed
and could care less about the masses
with tails/tales between their asses
or those in the dog houses
or ivory watchtowers

all of us
need to bring it
all back home

remember the blues
all hues

ear on

“if you’re gonna live
then live it up
if you’re gonna give
then give it up
if you’re gonna walk the earth
then walk it proud
and if you’re gonna say the word
you got to say it loud”
-Ben Harper (Fight for Your Mind)

do you take the time
to listen to the Earth –
to feel the Earth’s breath
to hear the Earth’s pulse?
Earth Mother is a living thing,
She breathes and feels pain
we would not be here
without Her

extended community
extending family
healing energy
reaching to feel and see
eternally

empower
educate
enlighten
elevate

to the light
we will levitate

whoever you are
wherever you stand
fight for freedom
fight for information
fight for your mind
do not run from anything
let freedom ring

find the best collective plan
to revere being human
to revere peace and compassion
ever be prepared for the harmonic conversion
when all dreams and visions
merge into one union
merge into one
become one
be
come
one

listen
to the Earth

Soul-death

“truth hides under fallen rocks and stones
at the end of a disconnected phone
truth hides down an unmarked street
buried deep beneath your feet
truth hides in people written out of history
black leaders and inventors whose names remain a mystery
great women recorded on ripped out pages
obliterated wisdom, covered up faces …”
-Asian Dub Foundation
(Community Music)

the ancestors
are crying
from the misguided i-dren
stealing, murdering
lying, dying
as idiots, as lifeless chumps
as bumbling fools and fucked-up punks
abusing the Earth and its medicine
disrespecting life and all Creation
ignoring the history
of our struggle through misery
our humble spiritual nations obliterated
by tribes of barbarity and slavery

what have you become? –
servants of demons
untrusting shape-shifters
with nothing honest in common

there is no greater evil
than a self-hating people

there is no greater destiny of tragedies
than a self-hating species

you steal
you kill
to help maintain
this hell

the ancestors
are crying

where are the righteous ones?
where is the reverence of intelligence and wisdom?
oh, what tribulation
oh, what desolation
recession
depression
the Soul-death
of hijacked humans

why are you giving
racists/fascists
an excuse to crush
all of us? –
with their boots
on our necks
they have never
had any respect
for pure people
or pure poets

evil is evil
no matter who does it
brothers and sisters
you must rise above this
and drive away
all wickedness
and not be fooled
by all of the hypocrites

go deeper
into your vision
nurture
a more far-reaching imagination

let no dick chain thee
go deeper in your inner-regions
nurture
greater visions

transcend human
free yourself from the tether
physical passing is transformative
Soul-death is forever

“thugness is the desperate side of oneness –
thuggery is the de-evolution of unity”
-JahHannibal Abba-Ra

electronic fingerprints
cyber identification
dead aid fallout
floating populations

rainwater harvesting
labor and marketing
cash and bartering
extreme global weathering

be careful speaking in jest
wherever the minority-majority terminology fits
is this as good as it gets . . .
chewing rainbow-colored licorice sticks

when the dream of being comes to be
many will search for enemies
many will panic and turn away
ignorant of the freedom to be free

post-obama bullet factions
gun machine moronic reactions
death declaration embedded traction
utopian visions only know spiritual bastions

terror is as terror does
the planet racket reflects a world-ghetto neighborhood
online smart-grids must spread needed mind-food
art/music is proof that solidarity exists for greater good

revolution
evolution
evil,
you shun
