"PEACE PLEASE"
"NO MORE TROUBLES"
I wrote this poem after watching the news across the globe. I needed to express my thoughts through words and a song.
I look at the news.
I look at confusion
of realities
of the blues of the news.
People hate, throw slurs
of their blurs
of society
of woes
of lies
of mass proportions of gossip
of terror
of wars
of the dark side of humanity,
as I get my bow and arrow
ready.
But wait it is not violence I want
to tie
into their hate
and debate
of pride and the other sides
of point of view.
This is my cue
to spread love
peace
and
freedom beyond borders of
fences and hate
to spread love and peace not hate.
So, I write about the thoughts of my brain
trying to keep sane,
knowing that life is what it is
and what it was,
cause
I love freedom.
I love democracy of choices.
The price of freedom is
bombs or mob bosses.
But of me and you and all
as I recall
to live and let live.
I turn off the news
of the blues
of war
of hate
and the bait.
Tonight is out of sight.
Let's rock tonight.
I look at the verse.
What could be worse
than not to belong
to a hate group of sorts?
Actually, believing one is superior to two.
So, we leave it to the courts
of petty lies of despair
from the criminals of time and space.
Do I care?
I choose love and peace
to humanity of a sort of all
people.
We lease
the earth.
For what it's worth.
We are all unique souls
of life, birth, and death
around the globe
of this earth
For what it's worth
of humanity
of the light,
not the dark
in the night.
We bring the light.
Let's love,
hug
and not tug
on each others' souls
of old.
Peace, love, and light.

"OF SPACE AND TIME I WRITE"
Once upon a time a friend of my youth whispered in my ear my life was clouds of illusion of both sides now. The friend is gone now of long ago. I thought about him and how the song he spoke of to me that day still speaks to me today. I was 17 at that time. I am 74. How did he know? I believe we are reborn throughout and our souls travel in time and space of many realities and into multi-universes of space and time. Perhaps we had met in another lifetime?

Hall of mirrors
Things used to matter, before all the noise. And at that time when things still had meaning, there had been dreaming too, when dreams still mattered. And the brightest dream from those times was full of mountains and seas and smiles and the types of passion that absorbs you the way a dog is absorbed by witnessing something for the first time: with absolute presence, and awe.

Gandhi said "Be the change you want to see in the world." Gandhi changed, but the world did not. This does not invalidate the importance of changing one's own heart. Even the tragic end of the Christ figure (which, in Gandhi's own culture, he certainly was) points to a change that happens beyond the labyrinth of society, the real and important liminal change that precedes the temporal! My hope is that a day will come when "Christ" can walk among us without going to the cross! Then and only then will we know the world has truly changed. Well-wrought! I'll add this plea for peace to the comment section of my CREATION MYTH as an introduction to your work! https://vocal.media/poets/creation-myth-m8dm0x8d
I often think in my head that what I have gone through (be it anything), I'll try my best that others will not have to. But then the question arises that how do I that. Your words truly resonates. Let's just keep spreading peace and then keep spreading it again and again.
Congrats on TS!🥳
