Chance/Dance of Discourse

black hole

“Sun Ra left the planet
traveling in a pyramid
made of metal keys.”
-Jayne Cortez (States of Motion)

“It’s after
the end of the world,
don’t you know that yet?”
-Sun Ra

power
all desire
collapsing
folding in
upon itself

the clique
of movements
the managers
of people-motion
playing with words
playing with lives
games of the power struggle

the high
and the low
profit
from what exists
in the middle

Funky Tonk

“These are only a few of many
legendary details, called from the distant
future where each thing has its
end . . .”
-Keith Waldrop (Transcendental Studies)

the power
of government
and its tools to rule through
religion, politics and entertainment
has obliterated the social mind
and progressive development

boxed and packaged
into precise occupations
we have become
the most perfect slave nation
as the poverty
and property of the masses
are all owned
by the ruling classes

those who honor countrymen
who would enslave fellow countrymen
should be questioned of their duty
to honor or serve any country -
they should be exposed
as the heathen enemies
of humanity
no matter where they are
under any star

this is a tired,
worn world
battered by desire
and betrayal

the Earth’s agile,
wondrous body
is shifting, from New York to Seattle
from Japan to Italy

this sphere
is sending messages
this sphere
is speaking changes

hear its music
follow its dance
it knows no fear
it is not intimidated by chance

nothing is infinitely fixed
whether Falun Gong or Rastafarian
beliefs and being must be freely practiced

come into your rhythms
nothing known or unknown is without them
seen or unseen

the given clarity
of the given reality
must always escape the limitation
of possibility and practicality

come into your rhythms
nothing known or unknown
is without them

seen
or /\
unseen
\/

now
get funky
with it

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

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

motion sensor/motion censor

“no selves. only 12 hr
barbaric killing of niggers
and white ass working class
motherfuckers with
hard hands.”
-Amiri Baraka

(1)
amid impulses
of intermittent pain
i reach to grasp
my life again

tormenting me
are all the world’s
troubles and misery

people only want
space to breathe
but greedy oppressors
and their taxes and fees
will not let us be
free

as the seasons turn
there are always
new lessons to learn

as the seasons turn
all lessons
become confirmed

it is a shame
that people are chained
to time
preset-cycled minds
encoded bodies
produced for crime

there is no wrong
when a baby is born
there is only wrong
when the human family
is cheated and torn

work and backbone
are what get things done
building Creation
inspiring the lasting songs

(2)
truth is what
we are after
it cannot get here
any faster

truth is what
we are after
nothing else
should really matter

workers, rednecks,
wetbacks, niggers
we are better than this,
we are bigger

the ugly politician
bribes all of
the hungry children

the ugly politician
bribes all of
the lonely humans

truth is what
we are after
too long we
have been courting disaster

truth is what
we are after
it cannot get here
any faster
