The Holocaust of Meadows
As you plant your mushroom cloud
Ruptured, wretched, stained, torn
I, the shrieking meadow under the shroud
Does the scarlet carnage make you proud?
Or the defective mutation of the new born?
As you plant your mushroom cloud
A putrid stench slithers through the crowd,
Underneath the Phelegathon river, forlorn,
I, the shrieking meadow under the shroud
A stentorian thunder vowed

Great Spirit - I want no blood upon my land to stain the grass. I want it all clear and pure, and I wish it so, that all who go through among my people may find it peaceful when they come, and leave peacefully when they go.

Your thoughts are passing by in front of you and...
Imagine you’re sitting on a meadow looking at the sky and a flock of birds flies slowly across your field of vision.
You watch the birds enter your view, keep watching as they cross it and then exit it.
There’s you, and there’s the birds. No question about that, right? You certainly don’t feel that the birds are part of you. They’re objects and you’re watching them. That’s VERY clear.
You...

Make it a good day.
Today, oh today, oh everyday. I love you so. Stress, you don’t exist. Heartache, you will pass. Tiredness, I will dream you away tonight.
You can live your life unhappy, unfufilled, and unsatisfied, or you could not. Its as simple as that. It takes a fool to make something more complex, it takes a genius to make what appears complex simple. Be the genius, let your life today be the...

Time
I miss you dearly
even though I feel you near me.
Your silence draws me closer and further
I wonder when we will collapse the present again
Where neither past nor future exist beyond
And we become renewed, again and again, in only
this.

The Nature of our Perfection
In our pure nature, we are perfect, whole, and complete. We are able to evolve, grow, and self-correct; thus, we are always moved by the river of progress. And isn’t that progress perfected in its nature? And what comes from our greatest sins is transformed into the greatest love and value for what is ultimately the greatest good.
If you unconvinced, look at how armed conflict led the...

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” Martin Luther King Jr. (Letter from a Birmingham Jail)
Today I watched a documentary on MLK and when they got to that day in Memphis, TN, (which I told myself was coming), I just had to sit and cry in class because this man was so great for our world and we killed him… what kind of response is that? What kind of society...

I carry my home inside my heart
I carry my home inside my heart,
But maybe thats no longer a safe place for a home, you know?
It’s where the pings of pain strike and my little home is fragile
Where can I keep this home safe? Where can I put it?
Somewhere calm and quiet
Tucked deep away from disturbance
Because my heart beats, like the click of a clock
And my heart pounds, like hands on drums
And my heart burns,...

My endless tour
We found each other there.
We missed each other here.
We ate near the church
We sang in the park
We ran through traffic
We danced on the sidewalks around the corner
We took tea at this table and a glass of water at that one
We kissed in the terrace above the city
We played in the gardens of tranquility
We held each other on the bus and the subway
We walked without destination or rhythm

Gira sin Fin
Nos encontramos allí.
Nos perdimos aquí.
Comimos cerca de la iglesia
Miramos hacia el cielo
Cantamos en el parque
Corrimos por el tráfico
Bailamos en las aceras vuelta de la esquina
Tomamos el té a esta mesa y un vaso de agua a esa
Nos besamos en las terrazas sobre la ciudad
Jugamos en los jardines de tranquilidad
Nos abrazamos en el bondi y el subte
Caminamos sin rumbo o ritmo
Nos...

Unfinished Love Story
Their’s is simple, sweet
Like their tangerine exchange
Their’s is deeply subtle
Drifting in the indigo sky
Their’s is unspoken, unframed
Yet sung unrefrained
Choice words sewn deep in old tunes
