DAMN BABE, THAT WAS A COLD ONE! @EricChurch #EnterTheDragon @BruceLee #Sensai

BLOODS' DNA RECONNOITERED, CRYPTS' PLETHORA

Freedom appears to be liberty hidden from tyranny, a woman’s right to execute an abortion
Last gasp of hot wind that gets past our lips is all we can hope for, man, life lives to shorten
I’m drooling at the plethora beginning on a trip to drink @Hamms & @Schlitz brew smells
Boys will be boys, and it gives you guts to do chit you’d never do runnin’ & ringin’ bells.

Your people on the block knew who you were, idiot, but you didn’t read Dostoevsky yet
Much later in life than 15 years old, but at least by the time you turned 75, all above It all
Singing about lost love because you had to move away from obedience to another Will
Power the species which directs another’s will by hook or crook; it’s a blessing roadkill,

Put some change into the juke box and play some Brooks & Dunn to set souls free
Out of the blue and into the black, above the skies of grey, there’s nothing at all to see
Yet you think that there’s an afterlife somewhere outside of your body & mind in error
No fault meant by the reality of the way things are and the First Cause of Being failure.

Hard foul on the court, penalty and fines become the one and only thing that’s solid chit
There are some young and some old people alive on the planet who have no idea what’s up
I got lucky a few nights in my teenage years, and I had five or six kids in Chicago, all far away
I was no bright, young, Catholic boy, a C-minus student at best, before I joined the VN War.

Why couldn’t we have been friends like every other stranger we ran into? All meant to be
Whether this is the life of each one of us & then it’s all over for everyone, no Valhalla above
Or that this Life is a testing place for the angel wings we’ve never used, didn’t need to fly
We had planes and jets with fossil fuel to move around in Time & Space, until y’all just die.

Buried bones and ashes cast asunder for the love of might and the minions who follow a fight
No need to call out the sound of the Word, it is what it’s always been & what it’ll always be
Just a step in the sequence of origin to destination, as an X rocket ship mirrors our solo flight
Friends or not, we’re the same mud, blood, sweat and tears from the motherlode, queen bee.

With due diligence and the care you’d give to your own true self, if you only knew who “It Is”
Dance quick or slow with or without the sound of the Word, it’s a Way of being out of the jizz
Again, my parents paid for a solid twelve years of parochial assimilation to the liturgical creep
Comin’ before you were at the age of reason to object to the misanthropic cornucopian deep.

Bring a knife to a gunfight if you don’t mind not surviving past the holy bullet hole or cut/slice
From the enemy of the heroes we call brothers-in-arms, they’re comin’ for the children of ICE
Beer brewed for our inebriation, not to mention the spirits of the fruit of the loom, slo gin fizz
In a dream, within a dream, ad infinitum, so empty as a zero, that you believe in Zeus & Osiris.

Bright light, kill the lights, smooth road, broken asphalt & bones, it’s night and day you hotrod
Believe what you know is true, if you don’t know it, then don’t believe it, a sceptic, oh my God
Nobody teaches the things they don’t know about, knowledge sought after, nobody teaches it
Heart & soul, inside, nay outside, as you were, so above, as below, God blocking our starlight.

Meaning nothing by the tone of voice I allow to escape my throat, it’s loud yet clear as a bell
Subjects and objects predicated just to watch the miracle unfold, saying what you mean, Hell
And meaning what you say when you say it, sing it or shout it out, as long as it’s the WORD
Tone and length of the note stretched into the mating ritual with the notation of the absurd.

Inside the cold turkey, there’s some hot giblet gravy, but nobody knows until the bird’s cut up
It all comes down to the brass tacks used at the very beginning of the coup d’ete in the big top
You know the Truth, you will die, but you can’t guess when, which day or night of the futures
We all knew it was denied, occult knowledge, a wise move to remain insanity’s membrane.

Olden or good ol’ days become the memory of the dead & gone, living survivors deaf & dumb
It’s not their fault, they wouldn’t be capable of accepting any responsibility for the obligation
To the humanity or the inhumanity, the spirits in the sky salute you, those about to rock some
From reflective sunlight, a shining black sea, coast to coast with fire engine blare, a mortal sin.

To bet your life on your uncertainty that you’ll be a spirit alive after your corpse is burnt up
Or even if it’s infused with formaldehyde or wet chicken feathers, like a philosopher in a cage
Smaller than what you & I are able to see with the eyesight 20/20 more or less, turn the page
It’s all over except you don’t know it yet, Future’s a sax blowin’, you’re in a deep fake outrage.

In the middle of the raging river current, you tried to backstroke upstream, all high on hopes
All's above and below the phony show under the covers of reality, accept or be the prison dopes
Bloody 7Up water drained into a sewer hole, blew my mind, God’s too, a defecation of the dead
That’s all cosmic slop of legend, WORD can’t describe the actual, thing itself, God’s in duh bed.

WORD UP @KORN #StopYoureKillinMe! @PabloPicasso { inspired } #OnlyYouKnowLikeIKnow #DelaneyAndBonney

TIME & MATTER = FORMS

Careless in the presence of broken halos, form to see what ghosts must love, to rescue you
Knowing fear is near to my vest that I have buttoned up and down from my dressed sky-blue
All too human apes in the jungle, a continental neighborhood invokes survival as a species
Divinity sorrow & happiness depend on this Truth, shadowbox God, He’s ahead of his skis.

Hear-say is all we can repeat, the alternative is stone silence forever, without forgiveness lies
That a king in charge has the power to create or destroy creation at will, it is a Power on high
One or more up to the one past infinity, burned into consciousness, recall what never was
Dreamscape of Eternity looks just like the one you see & live within, but I will to re-awaken.

Dead and dying in the blaze of the sunlight, star of gas burns as if there’s no tomorrow, too
There ain’t if it quits the burn, fortune makes the life of gas a crapshoot, nobody knows it all
Somebody knows more than they're saying out loud; it’s got to be only special and epic times
Then two words will be loud and easy to hear & learn what it means to be Woman or Man.

Other than you got lucky or your karma is negative & you’re workin’ it off of your mind’s soul
Love you more than I hate myself, it’s the reason why I’m still here & now, not lost anymore
You found me in a swamp, or was it in a blue sea swimmin’ about lookin’ at freedom’s door
Launched and I can’t see in the dark, so I just keep movin’ never stoppin’ until a black hole.

Comprehend the meaning of your specific life & then life in general, you’ll understand it all
Why there’s air and water, heavy air when oxygen & hydrogen force molecular mix in a ball
All of it’s the way it is because that was the intent of the Will to power behind the façade
Without regrets, let it all hang out from the hiding places where bogey men hide a blade.

Enough of the this and that given to me for free, I didn’t deserve it, didn’t want it, yet I’m me
Still not doin’ what the others want me to do, I don’t need the help, shame on the Holy See
Known at all times in Space, we’re transitory, not immortal & we’ll die like all the rest, OMG
I say a ghost is in the machine, it’s will to be done, dream’s over, woke up, you disappeared.

I told you to go pound sand, and you should have listened to my instructions. I’ll tell no lie
You would have been happy to be alive & thriving on the islands of your choice, a mainland
Perfection itself, an abstraction of Rock & Roll, I lectured y’all minions who consume sand
Not literally, figuratively of course, spits it out as if it’s in there anyway, I ain’t the one, I’m fly.

To deport or not is a conundrum, where will the destination be, the moon? The Moon? Yes
No or maybe so, it’s ipso facto the same thing on a different day, think millions of miles afar
Billions of light-years ahead & behind us right here and now, where we sit upon fake thrones
As kings and queens, barons, traders, and thieves, all take a part in the melee of 208 bones.

Only you know like I know, that once you find out the Truth about the nature of things, well
It’s impossible to forget the Truth once one knows it; to share it with others is verboten too
Not that they wouldn’t listen, the Truth is, absolute Truth will set you free forever while alive
Dead friends know the Truth as you do, I warned a dead man not to jackknife off a high dive.

DIVINE LOVE, NEON APPLE, ORIGIN OF SYNCHRONICITY

Chronic and/or acute knee bone pain turns into back pain due to the crouch & lean too 
For the sake of the leaders and followers, the ultra-matrix relieves the pressure of two 
One man and one woman held responsible for the woes, the wailing & drops of tears 
All for one and one for all, like the three musketeers, body, mind & spirit, all my fears.

Ladies and gentlemen who are barbarians with shaves & haircuts, attention please? 
In the original sin, this bite of one apple caused the whole shebang to turn into atrophies 
Impossible dreams morphed into the reality of every Tom, Dick & Harry, whoever it did 
Anything with anybody who told a story after we died or after everything’s cold and dead.

Mindful of the music always droning on in the background to divert your attention, arrest it 
If these space-age tools of the trade were available hundreds of years ago, read the script 
It states that all lives, all thrive on this plane of existence, a magical Disney World ride 
Art alive and in the end, a reflection of what used to be alive and well, takin’ it all in stride.

In confusion, with deprogramming, all human wisdom morphed into an empty set, a void 
Coming in loud and clear in a two or three-octave, organic rush of air through holes I avoid 
Near or far from the place in Space you & I call home, there is what Love leftover in a pie 
Coconuts and peanuts, Cracker Jacks and ice cream bars need my two lips, ain’t gonna lie.

Follow what disappeared before you were born, to the place in Space to see The One’s face 
Bar none, everything is all this & that, like Nothing you’ve ever seen, prepared to be orphans 
Think now is the Time, Life’s game’s rules are dialed into harmony and intense expectations 
Out of Earth’s graveyards, each hole’s holy, no resurrection at all, all’s gone without a trace.

Just because all matter and all energy is the totality of the expression of everything, it’s sad 
That means there’s no creator playing games with the rules of Life and Death, War & Peace 
It’s been a ruse of illusions, believed as if the Truth were the words expressing the horrid lie 
Judging without tools of examination isn’t a bright choice, yet done to be hung up on high. 

Mirror image of how you look in the reflection on the lake when it’s unmoved mover’s all in 
Only a portrait of a painting of an artist on hold, waiting to be connected to one spirit skin 
Still art with color pigment illuminated by excited gas emissions at light speed, so comical 
Pandemics or epidemics matter a bit but not much, Nature’s way of meddling with free will.

On the flip side of the argument, it’s the only rational conclusion that allows total harmony 
Hair of the dog grows until it dies of fear and loathing in-house or near out-house odoriferous 
Balls in the baskets, in the goals, with the pucks and footballs in the end zone of easy money 
Herd mentality is inherited & is inherently dangerous to the free spirit who has a lotta nerve.

Maybe nobody can achieve total illumination while in 208 bones of all too human fame, so 
What do you know about that? Truth be told, I lied when I thought I was takin’ the low blow 
Punchin’ a Truth doesn’t fly when you get the shaft from the trusted ones, and so it goes on 
To bitter ends where nobody gets out alive, all about the juke box’s sad songs, we’re singing.

As if I had a heart and a soul like the minions before and after me, I’m all there is left of me 
A voice in the form of typed alphabet in conceptual analysis of the matter at hand, survival 
Neither the first nor the last to come to the bitter end of the line & see Nothing to be free of 
As you were above the clouds, so you were below the ground of being, buried a white dove.

Bones calcify, blood coagulates, soul & conscious mind disappear into thin air, defecation 
Stay upwind; downwind is the sewer of defecation; on the other hand, this is a mortal sin 
What happens if you disobey the law of the creator of a universe? I’ll defecate fly’s screws 
No way out, there’s no sorrow for the defecation of Never-Neverland, Adam & Eve’s blues.

Thoughts reflect the feelings past the thing itself, becoming something from nothing at all
An amazing miracle of the state of being divine and able to descend to humane eternity
Cars speed faster than the speed of light, per second, per second, fast and furiously fall
Down to the bottom of the pit of Hades, in the mindfulness of abandonment, alone, Me.

@TheEAGLES BIPEDAL FLIGHT PATHS @MrCrowley #TarredFeatheredThrownOffTheBridgeOfSighs #BrothersOsborne2 @PINK @LadyGAGA & @SIA @FredericheNietzsche

PRETTY GIRLS' MOTHERS SCOFF

Stars blow up and make stones that sticks grow upon the original foreskin of Zeus'
Loathing and a fearless bravado, pair for the royal flush on the five-card draw blues
Mystic phantom pullin' in the ghosts and other chimera into a crystal inconvenience
Word sounds heard by the herd, vowels A, E, I, O, U & sometimes Y, & consonants.

Bread is not the thing that comes without work, labor for the trade-off for all the stuff
Nobody gets anything for free, orphans or well-bred family denizens, gotta be tough
Without the ability to deflect the powers attempting to consume yours, you're caput
To be or not to be is a choice to make hella long time before you get to the brink's rut.

Blood ain't red until it's spilled into the oxygen, it's purple as holy grapes of wrath
In every case, everybody inherits a set amount, and when you run out on the path
It's all of what she wrote & all you could ever write again, anchovy on a cheese pizza
Feel the beats of rhythm's rock & roll, blues & classical jazz, guitar cries mama mia.

Hearts come in twos, threes & sometimes many more, except the True One, all One
For your edification, the meaning rings a bell and configures all daughters of the son
Backward in Time in this same Space, it's a fortune to be able to read all about it, God
There's something wrong with Creation because the creator has what ain't red blood.

Hence, fearing and loathing everything that's a thing in the matrices of nothing at all
It follows logically that you & I, along with the rest of the good ship lollipop, it'll fall
Maybe not far to hit the bottom, or it may be a bottomless pit that has no final End
Your free will is the illusion; no choice in this life matters, enjoy the trip's mind-bend.

Fountain of alien life forms evolved from eggs of another dimension in Time/Space
A continuum from end to end, encrypted to appear full when the thing is all empty
Hawks and eagles don't know why they fly, but hunger pulls the Humpty Dumpty
Pretending not to be a carnivore, open your plastic and Styrofoam, bloody two-face!

SCHEMATICS OF EVERYTHING ELSE BUT Y.O.U. @TheMonkees

GIGS COME & daGO

In the first instance, my main focus is an intent to remain happy
Through all thick & thin of the fiascos presenting ass to pappy
When I woke up from the dream, I inherited from Adam & Eve
Cryin' in a deep sleep, pinch hit a blue moon's GD MF reprieve.

I'd created a 3D weapon on my printer, and I fooled my dad, too
He thought it was real & got unhinged at the sight of its miscue
Once, the truth was exposed, the relief for the Father of damn it
Somewhere between the eyes & a solar plexus, all gods dream it.

Inferior nasal conchae are indispensable to pick up a subtle scent
Of fresh scat upwind from the downwind draft, yet I still indent
Paragraphs for the silliloquies to become immersed in muck-mire
Everywhere up, down, in and out for the good of the whack wire.

Nevermore to recall the innocence of being alive in a baby's body
Out of each one of our hands at first, we'll be responsible, no fear
Mother's womb emptiness fills in less than a year, hell breaks loose
Dream over, Life emits positive or negative vibes to play the blues.

Woe to you & me, nothing I can forget at all, that it happened, et al
Beer, wine, rye whiskey for a celebration that gets drunk, bad call
Mind is not wasted if thinking & implementing survival of doubt
Philosophy and science of the mind, step up & down, go in & out.

So, a moment you are asleep, then awake, repeat ad infinitum, etc
Why is the question.  You know it, I know it, we all know it, it's RA
Above the Space surrounding every piece of matter, rock or paper
It's a plethora of grounded pepper so fine, it's invisible to a reaper.

Hounds are released daily on every continent, grief raises surprises
That which nobody can fathom, that's normal to divinity's disguises
If a holiday is anything but another day, I'm surprised, deaf & dumb
By sunlight, taillight, headlight or divine light, eBook of sea sccum.

Bright as atoms splitting nuclei in outer space, it's a cosmic-lit tier
Ends begin with eyes wide open, to see how Nothing matters a bit
While living in 208 bones' material form, survival is the only way
To come and go in health, love & faith that this isn't one last day.

Broad strokes on the painting's work of the artist, mixing 3 atoms
Liquid to solid, afore it all turns a museum into cosmic dust tomes
Knowing what I don't know, now I know why I don't know it all, so
Easy come, easy go, you win some & lose some, it's a blow below.

Question authority's certainty, answers with uncertainty too, oh well
Being here is better than never being here at all, I think, hence I am
All there is, subatomic to macroscopic, cosmic totality of OM, bam
Crystals in utero, post-mortem essence, it is what it is, I kiss & tell.

MY NEW TOME OF A TRILOGY POETRY, "GHOSTED CHIMERA  SIGNAL BODY #1"
 LINK BELOW:
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 
STEPPENWOLF IN SUBURBIA
AKA NOW, HOW DO YOU DO?

Lower than you want to go, down by the limbo stick's 12-inch
Bills to pay only because the collector found your corner pitch
Your wages are garnished now, you labor non-gratis & pay tax
On everything, everybody has their own personal take on facts.

What I  am, what you are, what all of this reality we face is too
That's the valley of fools and tools who facilitate a black & blue
It's Peace that evens up the score to produce the moody havenot
All Marxian, Stalinist, Leninist stuck like glue to an astronaut.

War and what comes between hot, fiery turbulence of enemies
Look at the Truth, if the world's not a ghetto, then it's all dust
In the solar wind comin' out a burning ball of gas, day to seize
Happiness is the goal, peace or war, still strive for the goalies.

Man and Woman make more, anti-species enhancement, all gay
No casting aspersions, the fact is, if you don't repro, y'all 'll pay
For your great-grandchildren's inheritance will be Hell on It
All the H2O dried up; only the melted snowcaps turned to s#it.

Bummed under the sun, a beautiful dream opened out the sky
Blown mind, with no anchor, no help from above, a heaven-sent
 No harm done, atop a mountain or below the ebb tide currents
Grass grows to be eaten & smoked, wine is to spill into gullets.

Matter and the forms taken in random fashion, mixed divinity
Earth dirt, sun and revolution of the Wind and the Fire all up
Monkey in charge, no kidding, who'd have thought, all bald too
All down further than you should, all's safe & solid cosmic stew.

You know super-cool is your pleasure, some don't get no trippin
For those about to rock, you see, you hear, taste & smell the feel
Bloodkeep at it, a soul-matter from degrading into cosmic dust
Groovin' & movin' as if there ain't no tomorrow, as if it's a sin.

Funk from Seattle to L.A., easy to glean down the ONE, a way
Coast up & on the down-low, gettin' to high on Big Sur today
Wisdom lies fallow in the disappearing coastal red dirt & rock
Humming right along as if there's no tomorrow, tic-toc clock.

Alarms goin' off, hear the sirens & loudspeaker blair, "FUCC"
All day, every day, 24/7/365, music in & out of the holy water I
Who I am is obvious to the deaf & dumb, the blind have a clue
Nothing without light, without sun, there's only radiated heat.

Not lucky without the rods & cones doin' the magic this schlog
Yet, life still animates the thing, learning the world of the One
Speaking displays the Many, all One's amorphous, sick of fun
If & only if it will soothe your soul, recall God is reverse Dog.

Hungry and transforming matter into the good & bad moves
I got mine, I hope you get yours, you think, so get the grooves
I know you can, even if you are orphaned, magic awaits y'all
Find it inside, not in another but in you, eyes wide open, chill.

Mirrors break, your face & heart really can't, sellers & buyers
Animate Thought, I think that should clue you in on new fires
Smoke, drink or breathe in and out, deeply animate wonders
Bet you wonder how I know so much; you'll never know why.

Ear figuratively down the line of the grapevine, it's white lies
Nobody knows, we all heard it somewhere, under blues' skies
Chicago to Seattle, Miami to L.A., Dixie to Jersey, full of these
Rats, all too human, mate to cause The Xtinction of all species.

Deep in dark caves of emptiness, beyond your wild imagination
You'll be trippin' from Pope to pauper in the alley pickin' trash
Similar to the moment before your parents' climaxing embrace
A moment after you cease to exist, same old story, abort, Space.

Some poetry in motion runs into forces that absorb power
Sucking as a vampire, anything to be eaten & gravitate lower
Thinking about it now, are you?  Just sayin' it's gonna amaze
Nothing I can help you with, so drink wine & have a nice day!
