Struggle

A griot beats a drum all day

without pause, as if in prayer...

As children play chasing grasshoppers

for snacks

get drawn in by the hypnotic beat

causing an awakening, inside

delivering the  word 

though none has been spoken 

yet, once the silence 

was broken

ripples of soul magic flowed

began to create  sparks

which touched the hearts

of those most ready to listen

a subtle change

imperceptible, occurred

before a brief pause 

for silence

he softly spoke

building from brief rounds

of non-sensible

utterances

using silly, childish syllables

morphing to words

in a ...

Bigger than that

Funny how you look in life

straight into another's mans eyes

he won the race

you steal his prize

he tells the judge

you swear he lies

being far more clever 

than you're wise

we each take a share 

you say that mine looks bigger

When you look in 

the mirror echo chamber 

of your mind...

call me a n*gger,

in your reflection 

cause you have surely 

lost your sense

of what you are 

to who i am

of the two of us  

i plan, you scheme

i gave you Jesus

you turned him evil

you made him mean

it seems eve...

Back at the Armory

Meanwhile, i am

Back at the lab. 

attacking my nemesis

yours truly, me

working like a dog 

for something new

i can sink my teeth into

chew awhile for the flavor

to keep the current live, 

if not the lights on

keeping my energies rolling

for just as long as i am able

keeping the logistical train

going as fast as i can do

while casting lines on side papers

scrap of new ideas to run through

not ones packed and stored

distilled from the past

playing with dynamite

having a blast

barking madly 

when it's a little off.

Howling, with pleasure ...

Done!

Drones flying low

skimming mere inches 

from the surface of restless seas

marked by symbols, looking Chinese

no, they're computer generated

machine language

the stage is set

killing machines 

are on their way

a coming attraction, 

primed, ready for action

who needs emotion

the press recordings 

have been prepared

and approved 

to go live

To celebrate the news

that another cell

of bible toting terrorists

have been blown to Hell

in graphic, stop-motion photography

full of special effects

set to a patriotic extravaganza

punctuated by blaring trumpets 

and clashing cymbals

and it's re...

Falling star

Shooting star 

that you are

finding your way to me

falls swiftly to earth

over the Sea

me riding it down

in my imaginings

getting back with you

animals watching in awe

from the oceans shores

mirror my emotions

ripple effects

penetrating To the core 

of All of what we are

each one of us a star

with a need to glow

finding energy 

to leap further 

beyond here

to the next place 

we'll be... loving, together

to the best of our abilities

finding new ways 

to vanish in the haze

returning the love

as the come...

Orbital pathways

i am in orbit, here 

So are we all 

dropping down to surface

angular velocity substantially reduced

from where i stand, or sit, 

still, milling about

occupying time/space

half a life's worth of life

at most

looking into my children's eyes 

every now and then, 

look again grand children's lives

yet still 935 mph headed east 

held here while moving

under the influence of gravity

along several axes 

by various intergalactic fields

turning on a moving plane 

moving in place... 

upon a spinning world

in a rotating galaxy

in a universe

Melt

The moment he closed his eyes 

and could see

He knew he could feel

The world changing around him 

He knew somehow 

everything was different

His mind was evolving 

in ways he'd never imagined

He could see 

through solid objects

Knowing the intricate details 

inherent in their designs. 

Total knowledge 

in multiple perspectives 

Like he was uploading 

vast bits of a reality 

Which had long 

held fascination

Turning to time/Space

Something shifted, 

almost imperceptive

His thoughts blurred, 

then cleared 

He "saw in his mind" 

mental calculations

Blank space

Not emptiness

just not quite defined
as being in a place

there is no identifying trace
of existence here

flash forward
then back

whether there ever was
or never was...

is not the question
or is it naught

where would you place...
light/dark

dead or alive, what came first ...
the universe or the sun

pardon my ignorance
who needs a starting point

of all eternity
from nothingness,

deconstructed
to infinity plus one

let the theorems begin
starting with the whim

Religious authorities
will pass this round...

their predisposition
is quite well documented

So, lets get back
to the task at hand

First, lets circumvent 
the relevance of man
as part of any plan

we're on a trip 
through space/time

Bad Moon

Can you feel it, its coming...

Bad Moon(moaning)

its coming over the horizon
low and slow, as if though

it's waiting, watching...
maybe even stalking

there's a bad moon rising
Spooky things rising with it

something in the air
just isn't settling right

a feeling i just can't shake off
like i must beware

nothing i recognize, but...
i know its there

its got me looking over my shoulder
i won't lie... 

Seems like its everywhere 
and nowhere

moving through the shadows 
in my mind

Something cold and angry, 
ravenously hungry

got me trembling, 
i can't sleep at night

i feel like humpty dumpty, except i see 
these walls are falling on me

wolves howling like they know
its coming soon

its not surprising ...
they can sense it too

Bad moon(m...
