| INDEX It's a Wrap A Buddha's Sermon Material Matters Panamory From Numb to One Love in the Time of Aquarius Me & Other Me (Ego & Alter-Ego) The Void Rainbow Psychedelic Lightshow Child of the Cosmos True Healing Eden Verbiage (Verbal Garbage) ~<o>~<o>~<o>~<o>~<o>~ IT'S A WRAP When ? When will you learn ? Need you die before you turn ? Turn away from kill and burn Know good from ill, start discern Would you perish through fire, the flame Than be baptised by water, rain ? Do you feel your fate is sealed, fixed or framed To reap bad karma, such a shame ? Are you disempowered, conditioned, tamed ? Not accepting responsibility but acting lame Ever passing the buck and apportioning blame Making mistakes each time the same Over and over, again and again Repeating deeds from which best to refrain Being a pain to be in pain Nothing to profit, nothing to gain No good from hurting, murdering like Cain Feasting on flesh to your Self maim So end disfigured, by blood stained Putting the planet through terrible strain Can’t you tell Gaia’s tired, depleted, drained ? Operating as if you’ve no sense and no brain With mind stupified by ganja, hash, Mary-Jane Anaesthetised by novocaine Fired up by speed and crack cocaine Monged by opium’s and heroin’s grains By addiction are you bound, tied and chained Or free like sage Mahavira the Jain ? Are you still enamoured of baking and cooking ? To perished dead food are you still looking ? Creating diseases gross and shocking Ignoring healthy live food that’s raw and rocking Experimentation I’m not knocking Though better get wise before comes a bollocking Junk food’s dancing with death, with Satan frolicking While sunfood is sexy, vital and rollicking Do you get rattled so shout and scream Making disturbance, causing a scene Boiling with rage and letting off steam Hot under the collar, an overheated machine Acting hysterically like a drama queen Or meditate to be balanced, cool, calm and serene ? Is your blood pure or a filthy stream ? Have you detoxed to make body clean Or with parasites, microbes your innards team ? Do you link poor health to faulty genes Rather than diet, chocs, sweets, ice-creams ? Are you sick, obese or else fit and lean Enjoying fresh fruit, sprouted mung bean Restoring Self and Earth to Paradise dream ? Negative behaviour’s no sin nor crime There will be no judgement in the end-times Except what you sow, you’ll reap, you may find There’s a perfect underlying design Cosmic manoeuvring holy, divine Descent into darkness is, in truth, fine All part of the plan to lead lives of grime Hooked on money, dollars and dimes As fighter, warmonger, soldier, ensign Bureaucrat pen-pusher, office confined Rigidly programmed to clock’s hourly chime Switched from cycles and circles to pinstripes, straight lines Forgetful of Spirit, materially defined Stuck in body, seeing yet blind Blank to carnage resulting from Mankind Pollution, destruction, peoples, species maligned Yet now may be appropriate to ascend, climb Choose to be truly civilised, gentle, refined Eat not forbidden food but fruit of the good vine Ponder your food’s origins whenever you dine Drink water, juice not noxious lager, wine Breathe not cancerous smoke but air of forest pine To make skin soft, countenance shine Look round, watch the news, there’s many a sign For fundamental change, maybe it’s time Embrace the challenge within this radical rhyme Practise ahimsa, being harmless, kind To peace, harmony, be consigned Strive for life worth living, a life sublime ~<o>~<o>~<o>~<o>~<o>~ A BUDDHA'S SERMON One who is wise would kill not man nor beast Of flesh and blood, he would not make a feast But rather turn attention t’wards the East There find answers bringing Soul’s release The man who strives ultimately gains peace Purifies body to ward off disease Disciplines Self thereby temptations cease Tempers passion so attain blissful ease From matter’s dungeon, seeking out the keys Climbing ladders that reach from the abyss Thus meet level ground, cloaked in grass and trees Escaping torment that does test and tease Through meditation sat on bended knee The sage is rapt by endless ecstasy Loving the Earth as Krishna devotee With clarity the world does he now see Eschewing honey, egg, fish, fowl and meat Forsaking yoghurt, milk, cream, cheese Sacrificing bread, products made with yeast Living food is what the avatar eats Having no family nor enemy As potential friends, strangers he perceives With all folk establishing amity Even with the birds, butterflies and bees Living alone, in ashram or abbey Or forest-dwelling, like ancient rishi As urban hermit, in town and city Everywhere’s home to one who aims to please Youth, student, householder or sadhuji Blessed One possess endless ability Mason, craftsmen, skilled in artisanry Painter, poet, singer or visionary From disorder creating harmony Not evading, confronting destiny Experiencing well and ill-at-ease Wherewith judging warmth ‘twixt great heat and freeze “Cruel to be kind” is what’s sometime believed But “Kind to the cruel” is also conceived Knowing what one gives is what is received Therefore noone’s denied nor yet deceived Ever pure in thought, all words, acts and deeds Always conscious of other’s wants and needs When woodland’s cut, creatures killed, his heart bleeds For not on pain but Prana his mind feeds By The Truth bound humanity he frees By The Oneness he forges unity Breaking rules he arranges liberty Reminding all we’re divine entities ~<o>~<o>~<o>~<o>~<o>~ MATERIAL MATTERS What’s the matter with matter ? Why is its beauty brutal and battered ? What’s so good about so-called good When this term good’s so misunderstood ? May acts not be cruel though intentions be kind When mind is ignorant and unwise ? What is “wrong”, is it bad to be “bad” With morals changing as passing fads ? Consider murder deemed taboo Buddha’s first precept one shouldn’t do But it’s okay to maim and kill When it’s government footing the bill Armies lawfully slaughter through war With victims mostly uneducated poor While it’s fine to steal other nations’ wealth When this benefits Western economies’ health We cannot even give joy a chance It’s forbidden to rave, outside to dance While it’s illegal to peaceably demonstrate When it’s in front of Parliament’s gate Mixed-up people, messed-up law Deaf-blind leaders full of flaw While intelligent beings from outer-space Are labelled a hostile, alien race We punish the oceans and the seas Exploiting, polluting by increasing degree Felling forest, making timber of tree To feed consumption, satisfy greed We imprison and butcher our animal friends Are we completely round the bend ? Have we totally lost our heads Guided by belly and tastebud instead ? Sex organs constantly steer our minds Addicting us to the pump and grind While money dictates occupation and work Though too often it makes us scowl and curse But we have to pay interest and bills Debts incurred, sorry fate sealed Enslaved to bank and money-lender Chained to rat-race never-ender Then to sicken, scurry to doctor quack Treated though in no time back Since hospitals don’t expound the Dharma Let alone clear negative karma Just keep us going to commit more sin Till ending up in lined wooden coffin Paying the ultimate price, losing our soul For wayward living the final toll For only Truth can be a guide Wisdom we deny and hide Only Love can set us free Lead us out of misery Only Peace can bring relief Allay fatigue, comfort grief Only Unity can make us holy Connect higher self and lower body With Light the means to dispel gloom Show ways out from impending doom With Cosmic Consciousness to Life the key From death to immortality ~<o>~<o>~<o>~<o>~<o>~ PANAMORY To love all - To feel and deeply kneel At the altar of Creation’s womb To bless and caress The God-Goddess That gives and for-gives The seminal, oval, foetal The fractal, double helical, triple spiral The circle, square, triangle Witnessing the product of selfless devotion Ideation and notion In Being To exist To know To bliss To do To think To be Sat-chit-ananda Hindu mantra Buddhist nirvana Self-aware yet not entirely there Fear preventing integration Ignorance defeating realisation Transcendence views the outpouring of Cosmic design As sublime expression of infinite time And unlimited space Sense rediscovered from trapped Cloaked in manifold wrap Lost in labyrinthine layer Unravelled to expose Bare and nude Nakedness wild even crude Secreted under tough, coarse cloth Molten core of Inner skin soft Sweet, fair, gentle Sensitive, sensible Sentimental, supramental Human microcosm Of female bosom And male loin Offspring of alchemy Synergy-syngamy Synchrony-syntopy Cosmic connection reveals vista vast Ephemeral Future-Past Eternal Present Crystal Consciousness through third eye perceives Panoramic perspective - Panamoric perfection ~<o>~<o>~<o>~<o>~<o>~ FROM NUMB TO ONE The meaning of life I hereby request That wanderer’s wondering, quester’s quest Shaman’s soul-searching, mystic’s musing Answer to and reason for living Why is life sometimes kind yet oftentimes cruel Adventuresome, exciting, mundane, banale ? Why work and rest, play and sleep Read and write else hear and speak ? Why suffer existential angst Painful death, hard life, birthing pangs Growth and pubescence Decay, senescence ? Living, dying, reincarnating Months gestating, years maturating Baby through childhood to teenager Youth through adulthood to old-ager Immaculate conception to body ravaged Emotionally scarred even psychically damaged Picture of perfection on to pristine prime Then dis-ease, disorder, terminal decline What is the cause of trouble and woe ? Where do we come from, where do we go ? What’s the nature of reality ? Why’s the world such a calamity ? What is God, the Absolute or First Source ? What is Mind, is Creation all just thought ? Explain ontology, teleology Soteriology, eschatology Should One consult a metaphysician Or heal with a holistic physician ? Ought One study the stars, astronomy Or discover Self through astrology ? For humanity’s dilemma’s mortality Conscious of death yet aware of eternity Frustrated, plagued by this dichotomy Seeking transcend death, reach divinity Truth is there’s no death, no end without start Beginning-end joined and never apart A seamless cycle, continuous flow No end but change, evolutionary growth Yet at the centre time stands still Zero point, beyond space, zone null Like hub of wheel which never turns While spokes all around spin and churn An epic journeying, voyaging far Now on Earth’s fair plane via distant star To experience heavy-light, dark-bright Base matter’s depths, loftier spirit’s heights Balancing yin and yang The third sex, woman-man Epicene, bisexual or androgyne Synthesis of polar opposite kind Discerning the good from the bad Feeling pleased, happy, pained and sad Sensing Time’s constraints yesterday-tomorrow And today’s present Now more free from sorrow In a short space going to extremes Barbarous warring, Paradise peace Struggle, conflict, massacre Cuddle, concord and mass cure Aspiring to mean point’s fulcrum True rest not false simulacrum Aiming for level-headed equanimity Fraternity, equality, humanity Discovering freedom, its sublime joy Real liberty by all life-forms enjoyed Well perhaps Life is just To Be To Be and others Letting Be Drowning in material seas In order know worst perfidy Escaping to spiritual planes Becoming Godlike once again From prejudice and ignorance To impartial intelligence From disconnection, separation To a state of unification From diversity to Universality From adversity to congeniality From grudge, resentment to contentment From enslavement to empowerment From differentiation to integration From disparate countries to United Nation From human to E.T. From Earth to galaxy From shattered, schizophrenic to sane From savage, wild to civilised, tame From wholesale decimation to re-Creation From degeneracy to regeneration From geriatric, pathetic To gymnastic and athletic From sickness and debility To wellness and vitality From breaking up, entropic To holding up, centropic From underworld to sun & air From fear & hate to trust & care From insecure and transient To self-assured and permanent From prey and vulnerable To safe and immortal From isolation, aloofness To near and close, togetherness From denial, insensitive numbness To acceptance and sensible Oneness So when confused, lame, deaf, dumb, blinkered, blind Seeing no future for struggling Mankind When stuck in a rut, duality Move to looser groove, infinity Till finally unfettered be Till at last the whole picture see Thus realise and fully perceive That Love’s the only philosophy ~<o>~<o>~<o>~<o>~<o>~ LOVE IN THE TIME OF AQUARIUS I’ll be a friend, a brother I’ll even be a lover A kindred spirit, a soul mate Confidante, secrets to relate But I won’t be your boyfriend Not controlled, possessed or owned I’ll be no-one’s spouse nor partner I’m a whole person not half a I will make no marriage oath Never will I be betrothed Swear vows I may regret In light of retrospect I don’t need that security Such poor insurance policy The contract of matrimony Or divorce and alimony Leaning on someone My lifestyle to fund I have faith in my Self To provide all my wealth I don’t want your money, honey I don’t demand your cash to flash Taking your hard-earned bread By agreeing to wed If I sought gems & jewels I’d buy them Yet I’ve no need for useless diamonds If I desired gold I wouldn’t chain my soul If I would have grand mansions I’d no-one’s wallet ransom I can support myself, pay my way Without recourse to another’s wage Though if with someone dear We’d give and take and share Maybe we would opt to go Dutch If some day dining out for lunch ~ Give me no church’s bells For me that’s a death-knell Attired in sombre grey, black, white I prefer a colour’s riot Much ado for one big day Of time, money such a waste Not so much a magic nuptial More like a tragic funeral For some it’s a lovely wedding For me it is freedom ending For some it is love for life For most it’s battle-and-strife Wearing fancy suit, frilly frock Being bound and tied by wedlock Key to happiness – I think no Simply straitjacket with padlock I need my own house and space Not co-habit, share a place Fun to briefly live together Longer-term though bonds may sever ~ To pledge fidelity eternal Make cause situations infernal Committed lifelong love can’t endure Specially when lovers are impure Love’s not restricted to just one human There is many a suitable person Sex is not limited to one gender God loves hetero straight and gay bender For bed mates just be selective Choosing those deep and reflective Fair, kind-hearted and gentle souls A light blessing not heavy toll Though pairing or coupling’s mostly done Troilism or threesomes are also fun Nothing wrong with three-in-a-bed Providing it is tantric sex Perhaps one may sleep with more Expressing love God adores A loving sensuality Is Divine sexuality But fear not prolonged celibacy Nor intense, passionate intimacy Overcome uncontrolled sexual urge Still be prepared to mix, match & merge Not completely monogamous Nor totally promiscuous Not monk, priest, renunciant Nor whore, prostitute or slut Not polygamy nor bigamy Nor sordid affairs, adultery Not sex addiction nor chastity Loving all in sacred syngamy ~ While some marry to have kids Thinking this ultimate bliss Where some wish to procreate I prefer to co-create Though if I would raise children I’d opt for co-parenting Giving kids devoted love For the world is tough enough Better with sorted individual Than in family dysfunctional Better a home of care and calm Than argument, despair, alarm ~ Singleton yet never lonely Always there will be somebody Good friend or maybe rescued pet Companions who won’t me reject While even if alone With God I’d be all One In a state of permanent bliss To the Cosmos sending a kiss The only sound relationship Is respectful, honest friendship No neediness, jealousy deranged A fair sexual energy exchange The only fine romance Is just a caring stance Loving whether near, apart No distance can break pure heart The only eternal true marriage In this coming Aquarian Age Is a fusion of body and soul Sublime reaction alchemical Synthesis of man and woman In each individual human Balancing the yin and yang Universe’s master plan Attain exalted ecstasy Be joined yet with full liberty The only love that lasts Is love that’s free to dance ~<o>~<o>~<o>~<o>~<o>~ ME & OTHER ME (Ego & Alter-Ego) I

and phased Dirty mind, foul-mouth, impolite, rude Swearing and shouting, coarse, uncouth, crude Talking bollocks, speaking shit When did we become half-wit ? Confusional through drug and drink No longer able to straight think When did we cease using intelligence Stop questioning, start uttering nonsense ? Rather than discuss Man’s origin, fate Asking what’s to eat nor even relate Absorbing mediocrity of media Watching dull documentary or soap opera Rarely do papers or TV reveal truth Controlled by dark powers, open to abuse Opium of people to blank the mind Kept in perpetual darkness, ever blind Pulling wool over poor-sighted eyes Proclaiming as fact lies in disguise No-one debates, accepting what’s said No-one thinks or is using their head Told one version as the gospel truth Not querying whether they’ve been duped Lied to by lawyer and politician Deceived by chemist, surgeon, physician Listening to fallible people, nothing to learn Reading trashy novel, pulp fiction than divine word Living in ignorance, bliss for a while Dwelling in delusion, deep denial Not piercing the veil of mass deception So doomed to fall with no resurrection *[or fail] So destined to suffer until one knows By giving hard knocks one receives hard blows Law of karma, what goes comes around Cycling life-death in incessant round In a maze yet not seeking be free Even feeling one has liberty Yet truth is out there should one look In magazine or new age book On uncensored internet Many page of useful web Once mind be open to dissenting view Then one may discover, receive true news Tales of the city one should know Crime, corruption of undertow Secrets, intrigue, conspiracy Kinks, perversion, deviancy Although the greatest (self-)deception of them all Disbelieving we kill ourselves by being cruel Murdering creatures, raping the Earth Over-eating, increasing our girth When only physical senses are served Assuredly receiving what’s deserved Gorging body not feeding Mind Thus ever bound to matter’s bind Using microwave phone, heating the brain Until finally becoming deranged Fed microwaved food to body damage If something don’t change, ending in carnage Well, empires rise and then decline As for Europe, it’s had its time But the U.S., grown fat with war Though now quite rich soon to be poor Babbling Babylon Ranting, rattling on No virtuous paragon Sadly soon to sing swansong Will the people change before it’s too late Else learning through erring sin to abate ? Yet plead not innocent when called to pay For error committed each every day Talk may be cheap but wise words priceless When health be weak, words guide to wellness Demystify, dispel confusion To sanity, giving solution For speech is very sacred sound Fine intonation from pure mouth Good spell*, chant, incantation *[gospel] Affecting destination* *[destiny] Kind words are powerful and holy Uplifting mood and healing body Yet certain sounds may destroy Jarring music, random noise But the most special sounds of all Golden silence and Nature’s call Lap of wave, splash of waterfall Sweet birdsong, stillness of nightfall So come on Baby-lon Grow up to Adult-lon Go back to where you once belonged Return to hallowed Avalon ~<o>~<o>~<o>~<o>~<o>~ | |||||
