LIQUID CLOUDS FLOAT

Folder: 
AMERICAN ZEN KOANS

 

Liquid clouds float in the sky

                          flying

                above my eyes

over my head

 

Tears fall from the heavens

                      in the form

                          of raindrops

 

The 20th Century Fox is soon

                             covered

                                 by clouds

 

It’s over

 

It’s just begun

 

                Perhaps

          we’ll never see the sun again

The truth lays somewhere off

                     in the great beyond

          beyond the rolling clouds

 

We become enslaved by

                         our atmosphere

                  bounded;

              chained

 

               pinned down

                   to our Mother Earth

 

No escape granted as we try

                       to save false idols

                                from oblivion

 

Temples crumbling

                     minds decay

The seeds we sow

                bear destruction

                               and death

 

We are lost

 

We are found

 

The Rainbow Man tries

                           to glide

                     thru the clouds

              wings clipped

          by false judgment

                 or paranoid jealousy

 

My aura rises to leave

                             my body

                that becomes

                     torn by

their insidious assault

 

                  brought down

                           pulled down

                 beat up, shut in

 

and now I attempt

                to open my eyes again

             to see the world

                   thru shattered retina

 

My eyes have been ripped

              Seared with boric acid

 

and they turn around

          and say “Friend”

 

Fuck you!

 

Do you honestly expect me

               to suck my oppressor’s cock?

 

My feet are weary

             as the grand depression

                            sets in

 

My why becomes a how

                   My life is placed

                       in ruins

 

       permanent isolation

The so-called guardians

         begin the lobotomy

                   of my mind

 

The clouds roll across

             my brainwashed mind

                  as I give approval

to mass murder and genocide

 

Is it too late?

        That’s a question

     which I am requested

                    to answer

 

The rains begin to fall

                and soon

        my mind is flooded

 

with propaganda

           but I really wonder

if it’s just a dream

 

            or am I

             really here

   living in their world

                 instead of my own

A Perspective

The 1% is also oppressed. All wealth and power is elusve. Nation buying may be next. Ah, the dreams of king-dom. Usa gvt is all over the 10%ers. The 1%ers are crypto currency hiding.

.

Some idiot said inflation will not affect dollar with gvt's trillion infused for infrastructure and climate change cash. Oh? The economy will cool when Fed interest rates rise. Just be happy, no matter what. No one can make you feel any way than you want to feel. We are all trapped and contained/restricted. Eventually the dollar will go to zero and we start from scratch. 

.

Spread yr wings and fly meraphorically. I do. Skunky? U made my year!
