"Roots and Resilience
I come from the soil—
Deep, thick, rich—
Roots wrapped in stories,
Stories that echo through the veins of time,
Through generations,
Through pain,
Through survival,
Through power.
I come from the struggles of ancestors,
Whispers of wisdom in the wind,
Echoes of their strength in my bones.
They were the ones who turned chains into gold,
Who turned pain into poetry,
Who turned tears into the foundation of freedom,
So I walk heavy,
With the weight of their sacrifices.
But don’t get it twisted.
This...
Deep, thick, rich—

Echoes of their strength in my bones.
They were the ones who turned chains into gold,
Who turned pain into poetry,
Who turned tears into the foundation of freedom,

The Mighty
Looking down on the river
watching the current flow by
as though time had stopped
she didn't know why
finally
listening to the silence
like letting go of a breeze
with the current running through them both
one always knowing
the other on her knees
on the banks of whatever comes after
knowing now what had always been true
once she let it all go
well then ...

~ OESHO- OMMO
celestial naked
duskiness.. dotted fleshy in bloodied
red clotted erected buds ..
touched with golden tips
& blackened craving lips..
her powering in
sensualising form
Ommo~ Uma
spatially densing~dancing
asteroidal lighted Shakthi.. She
in search of
her other half her love .. in
mystically peacockish blueing hue
of the mountainous Kailash
earthen peaking form, in His
Himalayan abode
Oesho~ Ishwar
Him the Shiva.. ...

~i l l u m i n e
glinting tinkly silvery pearls
with the hardened sacred
‘rudraksha’.. in a darkened
matte beaded alternating..
a simplistic rustic jewellery
of this a ‘bhakti sanyasini’
hymning devoutional love
to you my Shiva..
this inner earthen red
a terracota dotted base, this
rooted ‘Kundalini’ Shakti
rises in an awakening..
a hissing divine serpent
in search of the Spirited
You..
half stern, yet yielding
to a malleably flexing..

Deviant
I'm deviant
So goddamn deviant
I'm deviant
You have a problem with that?
I've always felt this in my heart
It's deep within my soul
Most of you will never know me
Long enough as I grow old
Parents told me from the start
Heard the same shit in school
So much of it through the years
Damn right I believe it's true
Can't stop being restless & curious
Buried in my gut you see
I'll never ever listened to you
As a child or when I turn 93
You know what kind of crowd
I hang...

Rising Up
the world today
is a mess, life is
crazy & people
can be selfish
this is the time
to get our power
back, say stop to
those politicians
your brain is too
slow, the cracks
in your smile are
beginning to show
time you should go
those lyrics are so
empowering epic
fuckitude boost
sing it with other
Archive admirers
is freaking mighty
to be at a venue
cheering yelling
fuck you anyway
chanting 'fuck you'
is not...

watch your six...
I'm not much
...at first glance
quiet
plain Jane
just a house mouse
past my youth
so they ignore me
look right past...
counting me out of the fight
...fools
let me tell you
what this disregarded observer sees
while they're overlooking little ol' me
knowledge is power...
so they stunt our education
making it easier to spoon feed the masses
lies they've disguised as reality
pap with no actual nutrients
the sheep will eat it up
& ask for seconds
they view diversity... ...

Pandora's box
Here we are in a new wave of massive execution of the wrong, doing of all these government agents mind games, to fool the Americans people's in to believing that they have our best interest at heart. Yet beneath the spider 🕸️ webs lays corruption and greed for MONEY 💰 AND POWER. FOR SURE A CHANGE is happening within the deep SOUTH of the government, for it's true as you see and hear mass lay off told to the workers not to return back to work. But yet we see the resistance of those who were supposed to be in charge. For sure we as Americans deserve to know, where is the...

The I.C.E. Man Cometh*
I am not talking about Jerry Butler’s song
but the real fear illegal aliens face all day long
Hanging over them like the sword of Damocles is the threat of deportation
from our ungrateful nation
Because of Racial indifference as in O’Neil’s play
which is our “reality” here in America today
The System uses the law to mask hate
and to slow down the USA’s eventual fate
Because come 2040 the US will no longer have a White majority
and the tables will turn in favor of the current POC minority

Apollonian Opulence
Lethargic struggle of the everyday
The daemon writ now pact
Ascension through the left handed way
Mortal dichotomy for celestial fact
Seventh tower raised and appeased
Three fold silence in Enoch's hand
Resplendence upon sacred release
Sigils drawn upon blessed sands
Gaping maw of darkness's reign
Heralding the blessed sounds
Gilded light breaking the chains
Of which shadow gives holy ground
Radiant stillness bound yet free
Golden ratios...
