LANGUAGE AS VIRUS OR CURE (4-13-2020, 12:25pm, Palm Springs, California)

words  
and languages  
can be  
malleable  
and fluid  
powerful  
or weak  
healing  
or destructive  
loving  
or hateful  
deadly  
or benign  
just as  
they can  
also either  
be  
an ignorant  
common  vulgar  
invasive  
viral  infectious  
disease  
or an  
equally invasive  
infectiously uplifting  
inspiringly transformational    
channel  
and vector  
of luminous  
healing art  
depending  
of course  
and contingent  
upon  
whether  
or not  
it arises  
and comes  
into being  
released  
through expression  
into new  
form  
from either  
primal gut  
or awakened  
higher consciousness  
of open  
mindful  
centered heart  
whose consenquential  
resonant results  
can either  
ultimately create  
manifest  
and become  
this ever  
changing world  
and life  
weve got  
and live  
in  
here now  
or whatever  
potentially better  
other    
ever changing  
new worlds  
may  
or may  
not  
still yet  
come  
into being  
wherein we  
human beings  
each  
and all  
everyone  
through  
free will  
choice  
and conscious  
thought  
though still  
largely unbeknownst  
to most  
of us  
here  
already are  
or can  
choose  
to be  
or become  
our own  
creator gods  
living tongues  
co creative  
intentional  
thoughts  emotions  
and words  
to create  
any new  
world  
new life  
or reality  
we might  
possibly want  
or like  
or else  
we can  
also choose  
to fall  
back into  
humanitys  
dark  historical  
old  
dead end  
role  
of egoic  
minds  
self destructive  
past  
as unconscionable  
blind destroyers  
of this  
our once  
so beautiful  
precious  
sacred earth
so i  
ask you  
here now  
each  
and all    
on which  
side of  
that invisible  
line  
of choice  
of mind  
of conscious  
heart  
will you  
yourselves  
personally choose  
to either  
consciously  
or not  
step  
or fall  
forward into  
or only  
fatally  
back  
into that  
long broken  
diluted  
dysfunctionally  
distorted  
old  archaic  
paradigm
again
where feelings  
thoughts  
words and language  
now seem  
to have been  
so misused  
and diminished  
as worn out  
tools of common  
expression  
amongst most  
common laypeople  
these days  
that to me  
as a poet  
they seem  
in their  
lazy  haphazard  
mis abusage  
little more  
at times  
than the fragile  
thin  
fossilized
symbolic
scattered bones  
and the  
stubbornly lingering  
ghosts  
of recklessly reconstructed  
anatomically incorrect  
increasingly crumbling  
dinosaur bones  
at best  
anymore  
and so  
it seems  
to me  
that its now  
up to  
us poets
and other visionary
artists
creative beings
and souls
like you  
and me  
to somehow  
reimagine  
reconstruct  
reassemble  
and reanimate  
them all
through our own
openly
free flowing
free expressions
individual
and collective
resonant
organic inspiration
into a whole  
new  
more potently alive  
and much more  
expansively expressive  
multidimensionally
perceived  
symbolically creative  
more all encompassingly  
effective  
new  universal  
language  
and whole new  
paradigm
of both being
and continued
ongoing
ever more fluidly
higher becoming
for us
all
and for
all other forms
of sacred life
and unified
oneness
of being
in and with
the greater
divine
oneness
of
all
