All memory tuning
localized vibe
CNS (Central Nervous System)
feeling tattered;
uncomfortable
in its fleet
pathway towards
variable dimension
Focus on a meditation
of prophets
and grasshoppers
subtle, sweet dreams
reflected
in one second;
forgotten the next
It’s unfair!
so what to do?
we scream
“Give us the answers!!!”
but the Holy Ghost
in unmoved
unaffected by our mute scream
our self made quasi suffering
Fear Hell? What for?
We created it here
and it’s our mission
to regain paradise
but the evil doers just scoff
enjoying gaining sinister pleasure
in our agonized plight
Politicians flicker in broad
daylight
while homeless stragglers
curl on the street
unsympathetic passers=by
stepping over human garbage
on their way to the office
as civilization decays at the core:
we are left
facing ugly consequences
Raindrops keep falling on my head—
I get wet—
soaked by Mother Nature’s fury
there’s no escape
but I run
helpless, wet, cold
all I can do
is run away
keep on my toes
and move—
and move
The fleet path of modern life
the disarray
of faith and hope and dreams
all pass on
like a peace pipe
but no answers;
no solutions
to the violence, racism
hatred, bitter decay
Kill homosexuals and blacks
to please some pope
or murder Palestinians or Jews
in the name of peace
It’ll help make sense
one day
when the rapture
of the new day
dawns on the horizon
the ecstatic rays
of the morning sun
shamelessly cast
their light on us
I cover my eyes; moist flesh;
clammy feeling-
the nights and days go racing by
there’s no aim
no control
chaos reigns supreme
is that what
we wanted all along?
I’m finding that
I can’t answer
that question
and I feel embarrassed
and ashamed
at my incapacity
Impotence raging
in my soul
quelling the passion
repressing the flame
the twin forces
of love and lust
and stymied
by misconception
Dwelling on meditated thought,
the blood of the poet
is poured on the page
for any willing witness
but still we ponder
the complex mysteries
of this human life
on this glorious planet
and still no answers
for the questions
of why we gone
and fucked it all up
and still no reason
for us to go
and fuck it all up
still no reason, , ,
