Back to The Back of the Bus
Move me back to the back of the bus
where the cool kids be
no muss no fuss, just booze and weed
and firecrackers
aimed at tires and seats of open jeeps
move me please
too much heat on the front where a rear view sees
and I am doomed to please
by having all my human cease
let me be as scum and sleaze
cough and wheeze
in the back of the back of the back of the bus
rum and heathens
run your thumb above where drunk chum is sleeping
to find gum...
where the cool kids be
no muss no fuss, just booze and weed
and firecrackers
aimed at tires and seats of open jeeps
move me please
too much heat on the front where a rear view sees
and I am doomed to please
by having all my human cease
let me be as scum and sleaze
cough and wheeze
in the back of the back of the back of the bus
rum and heathens
run your thumb above where drunk chum is sleeping
to find gum...

BACK INTO BLISS RETURN (II)-(2nd revision) (9-27-2020, 8:15pm; another spontaneous, 420 Spa poem, Palm Springs, Ca.)
blissful blessings
blessed bliss
submerged
soul deep
in all

boundless
wonderment
set free again
at blissful last
away from all
false sense
of blissless self
of blissless life
of blisslessness itself
away from all
which blinds
and masks us all
away from that
which much too often
holds us back
from ever truly reaching
our full potential
from ever fulfilling
our truest bliss
within our temporal human lives
illusory mind s egoic dance

Somewhere, SomeTime
I always find my alter ego, whenever i roam the rocky hills, or skipping right out from home, into
the pine forest on the village fringe, where the pure breeze inspires the pastoral themes..
where life in its prime tells the truth, the wisdom and the sincere feeling.There ! is my Home !
i sat on the hilltop watching the tiny village stretching below,"my bled" lost in a foggy silent indolence,
where carelessness and dark interests breed inside empty coffee shops, and shady nooks; and dark corners....
where kids in their blooming age reap what the bad...

Embracing a Digital Age of Connection
In the land of selfies, tweets, and endless likes,
A battlefield of vanity, where truth often strikes.
Social media, a web of deceit, conspiracy's fertile ground,
Where battles are fought, and real connections are rarely found.
Facebook, the grand illusion, where everyone's life's a dream,
But behind those perfect posts, it's not always what it seems.
A war of comparison, where happiness is a lie,
As we scroll through fake perfection, and authentic moments pass us by.
Instagram, where filters reign, and reality's obscured,
A conspiracy...

The Account
If I were to name and count, the reasons that I still have doubt. I wouldn't know just where to begin...but then again.
Digging in the dirt, sifting through the hurt. Perception seems like birth, of laboured love and worth. The pain you have endured, don't mean you have been cured of the reasons there's still doubt, that you can name and count.
Of course the source will try to apply more pressure to regret. Deny but still rely on force to bury treasure spent on sentiment. To forget the names and lose the count, a great amount remains as doubt. Demeans the reasons claimed about....

Mind Flatlined reactive-inactive
I could really do about now with being rescued by a some freedom or success.
But in this world, this time, this moment of destruction, inner peace I can not acquiesce?
If I feel what they feel but stay apart and alone.
Then what's the point of it all, why should I make efforts to atone?
They say forgiving others is actually forgiving oneself.
I say fuck them, that's nonsense, with nothing left hate is my wealth.
I don't carry that money with me, on me, all of the time.
I prefer the more lowkey approach, to keep my...

The Time When America SAVED Africa
We don't usually think of World War One as America's finest hour.
For WW1 is simply not that glorious; decisive, or noble.
But if we will only take a new look at WW1,
we can find much to be impressed with !!
We should be grateful that it ended as positively as it did.
The cause of WW1 - what was it ??
The arch duke of Austria'Hungary was assassinated by a Serbian radical.
Austria wanted Serbia to pay for this offense. Germany pushed Aistria to make excessive demands, why ??!!
This next part is often overlooked:
the GERMANS were the ones panting...

Straight Talk Live (Is it Luciferin or Commercialism)
I will begin this Straight Talk Live piece with questions than answers, or any type of resolutions.
I am a very sociable interactive person, and I accept everyone as you are, as you stand, professionally, spiritually, and emotionally.
I never hide the person, as I am, is always as I do, confidence in my stance for what I do.
Life is not promised by the next breath we take, and it is too short to be measured by time.
Therefore, do not hide behind the veil of your true self.
My daily promotion, is to love yourself first,...

THE NEW HIVE
THE NEW HIVE
The workers spread the terrain around for about a week and a half.
Metal monsters with iron claws moved the earth. Pipes were set, pathways
made. Pieces of metal and wood were staved into the soul of the soil.
---And then the wasps came in
to form the foundation of the new hive---
Semitrucks with swirling bellies came to cum and pour their concrete
into the base of the nest. New workers would eventually arrive to complete
the next task, for the...

There is one of these to see. (life)
Some propose scarcity -
While others propose abundance & manifestation.
And somehow…
Choice is involved.
But nevertheless…
Forces flow through the human organism
Into the light – like mushroom clouds
And rip the twines of the binary
with pure power.
In the wars of the titans
gods or godlike
Sophisticated weapons that shoot out stars
with Tesla rays
& take over the real estate
to create
lineage
it...
