Chance/Dance of Discourse

fee-nix

“Pitying your blindness; How you never see -
that the eagles of war whose wings lent you glory
Were never no more than buzzards and crows . . .”
-Buffy Sainte-Marie (My Country ‘Tis of thy People You’re Dying)

a demon
can never be a conduit
for healing

out of the quickness
and the demand
for conquest

the molding
of the new humans
will come

the blood of all ancients
re-united / Ra-united
as one

full circle
the freedom dreamers -
the New World

revealed
through all of the evil
that can be made real

the new Soul and Spirit
the new evolved Name
will arise from the flames

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

soul engine

“Science is a system of
exact mysteries.”
-Jean Toomer

complexities of power pursuits
increase
market rhythms war realities
illusions of peace

big money babies play
puppet-people gurgle, sway
obedient slaves enjoy the pain of the game
compliantly serving day to day

the medicines of Creation
once meant for healing
are now weapons and tools of profit
genocide, control, and killing

the soul engine
makes sense of the mess
the soul engine
powers, drives bliss
the soul engine
guides, uplifts
all praises
to the soul engine

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

Highwayman (for Richard Glassman 12/10/09)

“Every night and every morn
Some to misery are born
Every morn and every night
Some are born to sweet delight
Some are born to sweet delight
Some are born to endless night

We are led to believe a lie
When we see not thro the eye”
-William Blake

the weather god rails
iced roads scraped
rooster tail flies
truck armor protect us
move us safely
get us home free

worker, father, leader,
farmer, foreman
among the machinery technicians
of how societies must manage motion
survive the massive weight of bodies
rolling loads, speeding traffic
heavy pounding of our Earth’s face
asphalt, concrete skin
evolved pathways, bridges
structures of stone and steel
markets, parts, and products
of the human burden
pushed and pulled
along the lifelines of want and need
guided by the laws or outlaws
of commerce and capital
stretching across the peopled plains

we build, fix, repair, maintain
attempt to lessen the pain
of gravity’s grasp
friend, brother, fellow road warrior
we move this soil
one last time
one last time
in thankfulness
for the time you spent with us
before your heavenly rest
