Common Sense
Perhaps the grandest violation Of pertaining situations Is indeed the rank denial As if it were some sort of trial A perfect little regulation Common sense wins by a mile!
Imperfect, yes, you understand But on the other other hand The Moon is there when we don’t look Inanities to be forsook We live indeed here in a land That has closed it like a book
And why? Why violate An attitude it is of late To say it’s dead and don’t apply A mote in our historic eye Indeed we have entered a state Which crucifies by and by
The tragicomic irony Is that by seeing, we can’t see We use the sense, itself, we do To say that science proves it’s through So setting sail on the lee It calls itself untrue
The cat’s alive, the cat is dead Get this nonsense out your head! If it had not evolved, you see They’d have an argument, to me But, fact is, in nothing’s stead Common sense have we!

I suppose.
It is what it is. What we see must simply be true. It would take a whole heap crazy. To try and undo.
The senses reaffirm. The science of new. To question at all. Must be a perspective askew.
A song played in absence. Ofcourse plays on unheard. An immeasurable silence. Just seems absurd.
One feels the pinch. We all gasp for breath. The collective may lynch. He who denies death.
The surety of dawn. like the night that precedes. Is strong argument to conform. Against "reality deceives"
These must all be true statements. We must all trust in such things. Though if one can induce doubt. Oh the freedom it brings.

Now
The objective, the goal Is living now and here But what are these, indeed? If time, we supersede What is it that we fear? What is it that we need?
Living inside the present Presents tricky meanings Is time now not a factor? Are selves not a reactor? Despite popular leanings The language has detractors
In point of actual fact If time we have transcended Then what is time but vanished? The dimension grows famished And what have we rescinded? It’s time that we have banished!
So really, we must reckon With what indeed we mean The “present moment” lacking As brain frames cease their stacking What we have, then, on the scene Is an infinity tracking
If we, deep in the present As deep as one can get Are really outside passing Of moments, moments massing It cannot be now, not yet Dimensions we’re trespassing
In truth, there are no moments In this present way up high It isn’t now, not really It’s eternity, ideally And one may make a sigh Existing, oh! so freely

Well first we must not be. Purveyors of such a time. We must pretend "I suppose". To exist only within ones rhyme.
Meanings of moments are distances of sorts. An understandings opposite force. Though if everything was possible before. Then even afterwards.. it still is ofcourse.
Confusions come when merging. An line a circle and smoke. Science amongst society. Then the word that you think you spoke.
Allow a now irrationality. No now need not get you very far. For there is not any distance. No time between you and the stars.
How long would it take you to travel. From you head down too your foot? How far between distant planets. Well it depends on how you look.

The Abolition of Money
We are told, from our youth, that money is natural Necessary, good, and of primary concern But it only exists because humans won’t share So all one can do is steadfastly earn Indeed, without money all people would hoard To be done with it all we all yearn
Perhaps there could instead be an alternative Perhaps some new novel system Perhaps it could be a complex ledger of sorts The debts, the taxes – who will miss them? It would limit the goods a person could acquire And hoarding would perforce be stemmed
With these vast improvements, it seems possible That economic sharing could work Humans would see that hoarding just hurts But success in the shadows does lurk We could share commodities and services There certainly would be some perks
We could do away with all forms of money And radically streamline affairs The economy robust, A.I. does the work And instead of just putting on airs We could make real change, a truly new world With everyone having a share
These are all very nice suppositions to make But in fact, it would fall quite apart A new currency would arise, somehow Some manipulation of the ledger for a start And humans are not, simply not geared to act In ways altogether quite smart
I do not know what transformation’s required For anthropoid conduct to improve I suppose it could be quite as simple as this: Some of the glands you remove And boost the IQ average up fifty points And we might enter in some new groove
In the end, I’m afraid, my suggestions must Be confined to future eras The collective IQ seems only to go down And we’re confronted daily with new terrors It’s a nice dream to have, perhaps get there one day But such blessings are not nigh for Terra

Wholeness in Mind
In any domain, the first thing to say Is that it is whole in every way The exceptions presented, by the true are resented If the truth is to be thus in play
We find upon looking what we did not see Requisites, indeed, for all that is free When treating of mind, put not in a bind All that there can or will be
Separation is false, it is illusion Yet it seems all the world is in collusion To splinter the world into a dark furled Into the most awful delusion
Those of a whole are the brain, mind and spirit Attuned to the harmonies – the way to hear it And all the analysis just leads to paralysis Yet the reputable do not fear it
Indeed it is so, one who’s separating Is not fully engaged appreciating All under the Sun, existence is One Is what our awareness is stating

Atomic
Now, atoms are real we assuredly say But perhaps not the main causal players In any case they’re in a class, by the way Of an onion peeled back a few layers
Indeed, atoms are in their own special class If we consider that they are “real” Doubtless they are, and indeed, they have mass And the spotlight they rather steal
But what an ironical thing there to state! Spotlights tend to show the way But these little devils are too clever, mate Keeping poor common sense there at bay
For you see the basic constituents of light Also known formally as the photon Themselves do not in this realm confer sight Those electrons are put upon!
At atomic scales, well down below Light cannot impinge and bounce back! So what does it mean that we’ve come to know Objects not even colored black!
So what we have here, if I may just state Are objects that cannot be seen We may say they’re real, a debate of late But perhaps antisocial and mean!

Society and the System
Our society We must recall Is the product of cultural evolution Civilization Has always Been unfair
It was built by the managers For the managers
We were egalitarian for eons But something happened And we started farming
As soon as irrigation becomes necessary You need some boss To manage it
And here we have the birth of authority
After that the changes are cosmetic but radical But the point to remember Is that this process is much larger than any one person It is larger than the will of the billionaire class Human wishes and morals have nothing to do with it And no one controls it
So our situation is that our system Is systemically unfair Everyone wants to blame everyone But the real culprit is cultural evolution
As soon as a position of authority was created It was all over But certainly this doesn’t mean We can’t do better The question remains: Will we?

An Education
There are a few, yes some, it’s true For whom schooling has worth But most would like to bid adieu To any school on Earth
The thing the system does, you see Is teach from times of old Not how to think, or see, or be But just do what you’re told

Collective Soul
The world is one, a single soul Joined into a seething whole When times are right, that soul mellows When times are great it simply glows But in those periods of strife That world soul can take a life
Every coin has two sides, yes? One side works to give and bless One side works to take away Wellness and the light of day When out of crisis, Earth gives grace When in one, we see the coin’s sad face
And when ill befalls, what to do? The Earth’s a varied, spicy stew Many millions suffer strains No one ought have in their brains It’s a grave phenomenon The sensitive, quite put upon
Those personal souls so fragile Are in bright times the most agile It is they who comprehend these lines And see that life’s a field of mines The rank injustice of their role Is part and parcel of world-soul
For how could light forget the dark And how could God forget His spark These here do deign to forget not They see it’s ripe, they see the rot But we’re alive, the way to be The world soul seeks to be free

It all begins within a belief. Taught by the never ending competitive narrative. Reinforced deliberately by educational deceit. You must win your Darwinistic comparative.
This low level crude explanation. Hailed as one giant step forward. Is just another symptom. When conciosnesses are left unexplored.
A narrowing of all potential. Allows the mangagers to get you stood in line. Fueled billionaires jet transcontinental. While scientists get lost in time.
Where tangibility can rest only in physicality. When constructed atoms need be newly discovered. Why Newton needs a destructibility. Collecting any truths we can recover.
It all begins within a belief. That ones separation can be measured. A successful chart to bring relief. To it you must be tethered.

Soul Colors
Soul pigments All poems Fresh figments Golden gloams
It has not (Though this tricks) Control got Of its licks
So here be A most dear Way to free The high gear
We must stick to ‘foresaid rules The words flow through Flexing tools
But are we In design? Not to be I opine
There must needs Be tender brain For the seeds Of work sane
Sane and sound And creative Gather round Contemplative

Old Techniques, New Theories
We live in an age In which academia and “progress” Consist of and are defined by A myriad of techniques
This technical smorgasbord Represents a proliferation of habit In which nothing really new Is going on
And indeed Nothing really new Has been going on For over a hundred years
That’s in terms of theory, of course The other side of the coin: New, innovative theories And the exploration of new fundamentals
This has been left wanting For, as I say, many decades And then we get to the topic Of originality
The aforementioned techniques Are rote, technocratic and unoriginal And they deplete the spirit of man Originality and novelty would reinvigorate
Sometimes in literature we accept commentary But most often we seek originality So in life we seek novelty And should in society as well
We are in a morass A dismal, abysmal morass

A Collective of Individuals
We understand the concept of the individual And of the collective just as well But therein lies a confusion residual Because it’s often difficult to tell The answer’s not got through perspectives visual But this confusion we must quell
In point of fact the two sides are rather like some nickel Both belong and must be on that piece Both are real paradigms, like a hammer and a sickle Usually, collectives aren’t at peace So here, indeed, we have some kind of pickle But these silly fickle games we must just cease
The collective and the self, fundamental each It needn’t be the other or the one I daresay this truth is one to all souls teach So we can unify under the sun The context, the situation, fill up Nature’s breech And one or t’other comes out of the gun
That is to say, collectives shine on one side of the dual And individuals have a place there on the other We just consider opposites as some peculiar rule But I propose we make ourselves another Not either-or, but both-and, should be the novel school Reduce confusion well before we smother

Ship of Fools
It could well be In this sad world That people are missing the point All of our talk Is cheap as can be And our civilization we anoint
Progress, growth Space migration It all stems from insecurity Virtual reality Immortality Some kind of diseased futurity
These ideas are pathological Symptoms of a disease Grade-A, first class delusions Why can’t we just surrender? Abandon all desires That prop up all of our illusions
We must be something else We must be more, and better Or we could just abandon these poor thoughts Why can’t we find contentment Perhaps even happiness In this life, despite some of our lots
It is not possible? Is it not preferable? To live as man was meant to live? Get off the ship of fools That’s all it is, you see And become Earth’s youngest relative

Getting ready for the month of May weather is warming up and time to play
I stop and think. What is important in this world? Then time goes on and so much comes unfurled.
Not in flag way that is very gay but in a good way for those that have a say but I say neigh
Not for me but for someothers some I consider brothers
Never going to be me everyone be free
I just don't care woke shit I don't see as fair
Rights are rights and everyone should have them those that want to take them are fascist and at the bottom.

The Logic of the Gods
The logic of the gods is quite easily explored And yet so seldom is it done Some believe in something, others naught at all Others even worship our dear Sun
But to drop the histrionics, and get more serious It really boils downward to one point Do you feel that we’re alone in this giant universe? Or is perhaps this a more crowded joint?
If we’re not the only ones, then here enters the logic: There have to be less and greater powers Among those races who must not all be truly equal Just like we have a big and little flower
Presumably then, there are many diverse species Who are indeed more powerful than man So we must therefore assume, in all the greatest faith That there’s one being in the mighty span…
…Who happens to be the most almighty powerful With others close in proximity I certainly assume that such beings as described Would occupy a high infinity
Or in parlance more specific, higher dimensionality These beings must doubtless be impressive And descending down the hierarchy, all the way to us Is, needless to say, very regressive
The question one must ask, I’ll ask it just below: Are these beings any different than a god? Higher reality, inconceivable power To answer in the negative is odd!
So to get back to the logic, as anyone might do We have many higher beings One that’s the most powerful, surrounded by others A God and gods – now this is freeing!
I for one cannot escape the logic of these lines My assumptions it seems are copacetic The conclusions herein are unavoidable And the global nihilism is pathetic
