Stand tall
There's no god as in a man in the sky
These religions you blindly follow are all just a lie
Nature and feelings are what's truly divine
And there free for all they are yours and there mine
Words of wisdom must come from the wise
Greed and anger will be our demise
We all have different views on it all
But only together bound by love can we really stand tall
These religions you blindly follow are all just a lie
Nature and feelings are what's truly divine
And there free for all they are yours and there mine
Words of wisdom must come from the wise
Greed and anger will be our demise
We all have different views on it all
But only together bound by love can we really stand tall

The Beast
This piece is for the migrants who died,
Or survived,
Or have been maimed,
For the poor in search of a better life,
Praying,
That their dreams come true,
When they faced the Beast.
Those who traveled thousands of miles,
Along the countryside,
Through cities and towns of Mexico
On the way north,
Through the dangers and perils
Of gangs and robbers
Crooked cops,
Beaten and raped,
Who have lost limbs
Under the wheels of the iron horse
But the Beast doesn’t care.
This is for the countless stories ...
Or survived,

On the way north,
Through the dangers and perils
Of gangs and robbers
Crooked cops,

Under the wheels of the iron horse

Thoughts
You can reject them
or except them
you can even try
to drown them
with any vice
that you wish
But you can never
destroy them
they come
when they please
or except them
you can even try
to drown them
with any vice
that you wish
But you can never
destroy them
they come
when they please

THOSE THAT CAME BEFORE US
Through passages of my thoughts I awaken my inner thoughts as I think about those that came before us, to many names to mention to many faces to remember like images embedded deep within the mind but never truly forgotten by some of us. But there energy still lives deep within some of us who still keep the hope and the dreams alive. For it is those nocturnal images that keep repeating within my mind of the struggles, that some of us have removed from the mere depth of our minds as some of us let society reprogram some our minds, keeping the blinders covering there eyes from the truth that has...

How bout' three
The L.S.D.,
Sounds good to me,
I'll take one hit,
Nah how bout' three,
I'll fill the void,
Through this sensation,
Dream awake,
Hallucinations,
Again connected,
It feels so right,
Let's visit the true true,
Shapes and colors bright,
What goes up,
Must come down,
And once again,
I'm on the ground,
Ten hours later,
What have I learned?
How can we stay high?
Is my only concern.
Through love and laughter,
And meditation maybe,
Please Ram Dass,
Come and...

Heights.
Go!
And don’t grow weary.
Everything is now, without exception.
Fly free with total commitment.
Success is on the wing.... closing in.
Take heart from all that you’ve learnt.
An unstoppable force of belief and faith.
With the wings of eagles.
Fly high and wide across forest strewn peaks.
Indifferent to the madness below.
Feel mountain breezes that refresh your mind.
A soothing wind to heal the wrongs.
Acceptance of healing from the source of life.

Valid Excuse
Truth is overrated
with the flow of anger
everyone has a cursed soul
in which they can't lie
or sugar-coat the truth
So the truth is out there
Can You Handle The Truth!

Mistique is a Bitch (i_is_me parody)
At times her avatar is no more than a display of her eyes
But, full disclosure, her eyes are off to the side
Because she sucks at selfies!
The rest of her features are chunky snd moreso with winter...
Back down your rabbit hole, stoned-verse hopper!
Does her mouth form a smirk or contain a full smile
whine fighting a camera near kids...
Does she come with attitude, like no one is worth her while
or does she think you're a superhero?
Is her nose pugged or long and comes to a point

Exposed heart III the last chapter
moving on begins with letting go of the past
this is my final Exposed heart
______________________________________________________________________________
For the first time I'm going home
Feeling like a place i belong.
Took me 24 years for my mom
To tell me I'm the best mistake she ever made.
Time and time again i was made to remember the past,
Made to suffer for the mistakes of a man i never even knew.
A hundred times,
I've been told how
If i had been left in a bin like she first had thought,
Life would have been much...

White Lies
From this moment forward, until I'm able to discover otherwise
In my mind, everything that I was ever taught is full of white lies
Disguised as truth then given to youth to begin assimilation
The more I learn, the less I discern; building my frustration
The equations aren't adding up to the stuff I thought I knew
Now I'm questioning everything that I used to perceive as true
What's one to do when engulfed by and drowning in deception?
Seek out the torch bearers to see clearer; then reassess the calculation
In my mind, everything that I was ever taught is full of white lies
Disguised as truth then given to youth to begin assimilation
The more I learn, the less I discern; building my frustration
The equations aren't adding up to the stuff I thought I knew
Now I'm questioning everything that I used to perceive as true
What's one to do when engulfed by and drowning in deception?
Seek out the torch bearers to see clearer; then reassess the calculation

Everything
Awake to the feeling.
Senses start the bleeding.
Aware of the commercial trickery.
Hating the force feeding.
Everything tainted.
Memory trapped in the 1980s
Silver linings belie the worries of that time.
Frustration now pulls at any anticipation.
Nothing new to stir the energy within.
Everything broken.
The sensuality of sexual behaviour now blunted.
Arousal, a distant land long since visited.
Dead on the inside waiting for rot to do its job.
This appendage has lost all of its appeal.
Everything is lost.
