“One of the most salient features of our culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted. Most people are rather confident of their ability to recognize bullshit and to avoid being taken in by it. So the phenomenon has not aroused much deliberate concern, nor attracted much sustained inquiry.”
-Harry G. Frankfurt (from his book “On Bullshit”)
did not ask for your interest
did not ask for a date
you violated my space
with transgression and cyber-rape

cyber-invasion
cyber-colonialism
cyber-vermin
attacking my righteous visions
cyber-transgress
cyber-trespass
cyber-disrespect
cyber-wickedness
years of sharing my heart/art work
years of expressing my truth
how would you feel if a thief and a stranger
tried to steal these things from you?
this is a higher gift for ways to better communicate
and for cowards to find ways to escape –
an honest and upright person would show their real face

“I and I asked an Elder, ‘What is the secret of the Great Pyramid?’
He looked at me and smiled. ‘Son, the human body contains all the secrets of the Great Pyramids and the Universe. Know the One and you know the All, for man is really the Pyramid . . .’ ”
-Mahseeyahu Ben Selassie” (Top Secret)
the vow of the Nazirite
was buried with dreadlocks
but now that dreadlocks have re-arisen –
where is the vow of the Nazirite?
the Hippocratic oath
was buried with Afrikan doctors
but now that Afrikan doctors have re-arisen –
where is the Hippocratic oath?
am i the only fool
who has thoughts like these?
am i the only one
who persistently questions what we know and believe?
the mortal attempt
to rule and control
is not as old
as the oldest of rules
intuition
is beyond institution
the instructions of nations
pales to our Spiritual relations
to overstand destiny
you must understand entropy
to overstand friction
you must understand attrition
there is nothing older or greater
than Natural law
beyond form or formlessness
beyond foundation and flaw
i have forgotten
most of what i have known
closer to death
closer to be reborn
all within the mysteries of being young
all within the mysteries of being old
whole until unfolding
unfolding until whole
we would do more to learn from Nature
than any mortal frame, formula, fissure, or fracture

a great bard lived here
of a different age and space
tho we face
a similar financial disgrace
but, indeed
a noble structure
which should be honored
as a marker of our culture
this is where you strived
and finally rested
not the places
where you just merely existed
there is a spirit here
that bellows and breathes
like the large green tomato plant in the rear –
a small garden, absent of weeds
(the Edgar Allen Poe House, a block-and-a-half from where i reside. Baltimore City has cut its annual support last year.)

“There will come a time when our silence will be more powerful than the voices you strangle today!”
-August Spies (Haymarket Martyr, Murdered/Hanged 10-11-1887)
“They put you under house arrest, or they make you disappear”
Ai Weiwei (Dissident Artist of China)
the greatest
manifestation
of any free nation
is found in its
institutions of wisdom:
the free library system –
the only system
i truly believe in
and any nation
that fears its own
creative information
lives in fear of its own shadow
and self-identification
follow the library
that protects the stories
of the greatest struggles
of all humanity

Library Spies in Maryland (Library Awareness Program) 1982-88. i donated a copy of one of my chapbooks to the Enoch Pratt Central Library during this period, never ever saw my book at the library since!
It’s interesting hearing the rants of the fascist right playing
psyops with the word “fascist” when this country has been firmly ruled by fascism and neo-fascism for quite some time. I guess this is the way they gauge the extent of their bullshit from time to time. How often do they encourage people to venture to the library to see what may be buried there?

to grasp the meaning
in practice, the Omni-Spirit-Being
the greater the monster
the greater the savior
remember that the Soul
is beyond any body
beyond every body
beyond all bodies
beyond all givers and takers
the final righteous stand
will take place in this last new land
the next process for the evolving human
transcending the terminology of “fair game”
all the breadths
of an infinite breath
further than life
further than death
