Illusion of Self

The holy terror becomes the holy blessing

Family values caught in the act of undressing

Addicts getting high on early morning out-burts

Running through dreams & trampling down flowers

Dancing fast from keep from crying

Infliting pain from to stop the lying

Muggers,muggers, B-boys & Heavy metal

Chose under the bridge on Hansell & Gretal

Pornography, rape and child abuse

Mass murders quoting Doctor Zeuss

Black becomes white in this old illusion

Money becomes God to complete the confusion

Daily visits to late night clubs

Disapointment and sadness and ticket stubs

Bad little men in sad little rooms

Sad little Oak beams become sad little tombs

Silent storms and baby screams

Wide open soaces of unconscious dreams

The churchs are empty the choirs are full

He takes a snort and she takes a port

The Sun was dim at childish morning

When sleep awakened me to the cries of your distant touch

There was no crowded rooms foe Allah to cross

No smoked filled fanisies to ensure happiness

Ours has become a comedy of errors

A tradedgy from the dark side of the moon

Conversations,conversations have become shrieks & shrills

in the echoes of laughter but still we try two muted poets

Sticking it togetjhefor the glamour of the ticker tape

parade's birds,birds flying free & attonement of our slavery

And our love becomes a saga of jaggered peach of stagnent

dreams two addicted lovers,strung out in the heavens

of past romance,walks in the park cannot sooth the ravages

of tomorrow prescence, yes.We watch new love, we tell

the here inside, his blood dripping from our hands like

the wine in Roman orgies, its meaning drowning,drowning

in the milky green waters of unconsciousness, now all it does

is sit there & listen to songs from new & unmarked graves

have we become petrified honest,who can only paint terrified

portrates of love,have we lost desperation & the dark & murky

swamps of some foriegn smile we can not wait on the rest of

the world to comprehend,we can not wait on racist slaves to

snatch their freedom from heroes of doom,we cannot wait on

luxurious & pompous expressions to share their feeling of

God

Shirts,ties & very well groomed,patronising that, that once

was assumed.Round & round the merry-go-round, grabbing the

ring while stuck to the ground,little ambitions with great

big drugs,over-night sensations on bear-skin rugs,

Highly mediocre becomes highly paid,highly empowered

then highly afraid.Winning becomes everything but

nothing at all, loosing your footing & starting to fall.

Women in anger, women in style,women guide coming

down the aisle, to know how dangerous games can be.

To get stuck in a vision but never see,mistaking pleasure

for something to keep, taking yourself to be something so

deep.Big time lawyers become no better than thieves,

pleading insanity while justice grieves,pretensious smiles

patroling the beat, life become miserable then out of reach,

subway rides become subway grieve,public transportation

becomes a subway thief. [4:36]

Ours was a moment so devine & yet so very unholy

all around let's dance morning prayers, giving praise

to the Lord of the universe, while we become athiestic

on giving love to one another,it was raining,it was raining

that morning inside our fears,as we come so closelt together

& decide our screams & you cried (How you cried) &

you cried (How you cried),found you stranded

& the sensitivity left you wind-swept waves, while

I carouse with madness in the shadows of my pride,

but the smashed & bittered face of trying, kept trying

to tell me there is no glory in the sea, then I did not

understand,now I do, if I could have just one more

chance with illusion maybe I could make it real,if I

could just take the wrapped up of screams & compose

whispering signs of change, maybe then you would

smile, if I could just take the mystery of night & read

it from you in an impromtou poem.Maybe then your

arms would open, on pardon, oh yesterday are you

there,yesterday I'm sorry,yesterday where are you,

yesterday are you there & you turn to answer my call.

But your eyes,oh your eyes are full of coffins,the

stale of funeral trumpets fall from your lips,& I run & I

turn & I run away to question time but he reoplies 'Too late'

your both dead.

Children in fear, always living inside,who come out

to play only to hide,their tears are helpless as they fall

from the eye, they hit the ground running while trying to fly.

The madness becomes casual at its very best, the

mind becomes stronger with every test, at last,they

smile, they even joke, the challenge to be human

at every stroke,paranoia becomes fear & then the

sensitive become a tear, just be who you are &

leave it alone,let them have there's leave that shit alone,

that shit of mine be quiet ego be still, learn to

accept, learn to be real,to become fully conscious, to

be fully aware,always loving becomes always fair, to

touch, to feel the side to side,the oneness of you &

everything around,negative comes & negative goes,

everything changes as the consciousness flows

always learning, always teaching, always caring

always reaching,stick to your path when the going

get rough,never quitting is never enough.The

subtle places inside the subtle mind, the courage to

loose and then the courage to find,the eagle flying

high, with the peaceful dove,always us living, living

love.
