Everything That Lives is Holy
All who live share a common essence A kind of brilliant nonlocal soul presence Dour eyes do not see it, and these be most eyes When the rare one flies open, there is naught but surprise As Blake also said, with authority The fool sees not as the wise the same tree
There is some animistic principle here But don’t scoff it off as especially queer Nature is one mind, one being, one soul And the multitude is hovering over a shoal While the ocean is wide, full, broad and deep As man fools with trifles in his donjon-keep

On an escape from my family am old enough, can conquer reality from a mormon family what a tragedy.
Have let the all go all the drama to and fro
Dumb rhyme happens all the time
I leave it behind me salt in the sea
Everyone matters Pit and patter and the gather
Is empty to me Am free can be me with a family
I let it go.
Jesus died on a cross such a loss
He held no regard for his family as the scriptures say except water into win to let the family play
People like and reject you in life so much strife
A time for me at my age to say goodbye and stop rotting in an endless page
So is life and is meant to be so those that take money and cower out, such will pout
To not have freedom, free from restraints all a prison just the same.
I am free, finally. With nothing over me.

Cosmic Subconscious
Whatever is not being observed Is, these days, relegated To the category of nonexistence
That is, the notion is that Nothing exists unless or until It has been observed by a human
This is not true Objectively Everything exists
Whether or not It is under the observation Of a human
Now, we ought think of this As we think of the subconscious mind Which, of course, is not under observation But is really running the show
Objects existing out there Should be viewed similarly— They exist in the subconscious of the universe
This, in fact, is also the fundamental nature Of the human subconscious
In fact the two are really one

Evolutionary Change
When it comes to evolution (And it is a revolution) They tell us it’s all solved When in fact there’s no solution
In point of fact, you see It’s unfinished theory Far indeed from finalized Our lovely family tree
For one example, here you go: By current theory, it’s too slow Let me make myself more clear How it changes, we don’t know
That is to say, the thesis is DNA disconnected, ‘tis From the whole environment That molecule must be a whiz!
How do beings form or change? How to account for new brains? There’s no place for contingency Or ways for causal chains
We cannot therefore account In causal ways, to find the fount Of just what process leads To each species the last surmounts
To declare that “random” tells the tale Is really a very poor sale A genome connected to nary a thing Is a neo-Darwinian fail
In the end, there’s quite a few Loose threads, and not enough glue That the whole thing is an accident Strikes me as untrue

Intention
Awareness always carries intention God’s subtle and brilliant invention This truth is seldom understood Complexity is a convention
Science as yet cannot explain How intent arises inside a gross brain It wonders how matter can generate thought Truly to see it does not deign
Of course we all know the folly of this Neuroscience has all it tenets amiss Complexes of atoms do not make us see The dogma sealed with Satan’s kiss
As a matter of fact, awareness is all And intent is how we answer creation’s call We are conscious, the people and all animals No creature is really too small
But anyway, all this is not yet acknowledged Here in the West, with our dubious “knowledge” So circumstance keeps us all on the down low And we’ll send our kids off to college

Equipoise
Genius and insanity Sometimes go hand in hand When there’s no equilibrium Or ground on which to stand
But this is not limiting There’s plenty of Great Work We need a word for such and such Insinuating quirks
It doesn’t rhyme with porpoise But that is not its purpose! When you lay off from subtle joys Always maintain equipoise

The Karma of Knowing
The question of reincarnation decidedly is apt The things that may arise, some would just despise But humanity seems dead-set in this life to be rapt With old karmic ties, with glints in their eyes
Some might say that at bottom knowledge is innate That the way that we see, is the way that we be This goes as much for saint as it does for the ingrate But knowledge isn’t free, not on wind or lee
This seeing of our lives seems rather to unfold Do we learn anything new? Is wisdom false or true? Some avuncular sages possess gifts to behold What must they go through? What’s a soul to do?
Some of these seers prescribe taking life lightly Let it come with ease, one need not any please And in their age these ones are looking rather sprightly Don’t go down on your knees, approach life like the trees
If life is singularly rolled up then to reveal We see things in new lights, there is no phantom night We gain our knowledge, our wisdom, a bit like it’s piecemeal Given the gift of sight, with Nature there’s no fight

Logic
Folks put a lot of faith in logic But a juggernaut it is not It’s just a behavior, like anything else Evolution stirs in its pot
It could be conceivably postulated That our wonder is just a switch Enabling apes to cope with survival We all can say life is a bitch
But getting down to it, let’s take a look An argument’s only as good As its subjective premises, perceived by us Examine them better, we should!
A lot of these axioms, I have to say And damn near pretty well bonkers Some make as much sense, let us be honest As taking a surfboard to Yonkers
Anyway, the premises, we just have to fudge Because there’s no way to prove them When one examines how flimsy they are It doesn’t take much to remove them!
It seems all we’ve got, in the way of the real Is our personal determination Logic is useful, yes, but it stops there Absolute? No way in tarnation!

Copenhagen Holograms
It is said That we “create” Whatever reality is present And that we are all greater artists Than we realize
While the latter is true The former needs some tinkering As we do not create objective Reality
Bohr and his acolytes Did believe That when we observe or measure A phenomenon This is when it comes into being
Many dispute this
If our equations are in some correspondence With a holographic phenomenon The clouds begin to part And the mist dissipates
For you see The hologram would not need to project Into those areas not under observation
Here’s the rub
Whatever is programming the hologram Whether or not its projection is being observed Still exists outside of all of this
So from this perspective And this perspective only The Copenhagen view is not that wrong
But in its denial of realism And its denial of the objective It is perhaps missing the bigger picture:
That all reality is coded everywhere

Tired of the divide hitting my stride
Got my first AMEX Card to show I am a complete retard (though just always wanted one to be honest and a fuck you I am not going to live the Mormon lifestyle and meet my debts)
What is of worth to you mom I prefer a song
I take care of myself Do not have to be anyone else
My credit and bills are paid when no money or religion over me all is said
More to show my Mormon mother up and her shit wives of my brothers that never act like themselves
My stepdad died money keeps his spirit alive
The wives are grubbing bitches have five brothers, could care less about the riches
How the wives take over never found a four leaf clover
Didn't make their way in life full of strife
Tired of it all so I let my family go have better things to do and so
The temptations of wealth happy with health plus at peace with myself
Let the bitches and dogs fight over it really don't give a shit
Funny thing is he knew with cancer he was dying not crying just one last word to me and that I will let be (he knew I loved him and didn't care though he left money to me, under my Mommy, lol. Don't care and glad is done, fake son.)
I get to keep myself
Tempting as it might be I get to be me
We are all free
The Joker and that pile of money sliding down it the loot of disdain upon it
He could see me for me and I really don't give a shit have just played my part in it. Like Gary Oldman and Uncle Alfred He made drug courts and now is in his eternal bed.
Never was corrupt and helped many I was fucked over when young and have learned without plenty
Honestly and he made a honest living was so much for giving
yet with religion to me always strings attached in my life am fine and not a match
for my family and I let it go traveling to and fro
And know how to see the world and my place in it no amount of money will change my view of that shit
Enjoy your Summer people in the end we are all equal.
Wow. Poetry is better than therapy and shitty pills.

A Final Truth
Man is predisposed And science, too, especially To seek a final, and all Encompassing truth
Known variously As the “Theory of Everything” (Or TOE, for short) Or Grand Unified Theory
This notion is particularly Pernicious, when we consider How destructive it can be To a people’s psyche
If we wish to extrapolate Our shallow Newtonian Existence to some final Truth, so be it
But this would be—and is Delusional There is so much more to existence Than we as humans typically experience
Assuming the universe infinite It’s like asking how many sides And infinite circle has The notion has no meaning
Assuming all is creativity (And this is a brash assumption— But not without considerable merit) What does finality even mean?
Should we write the poem To end all future poems? Should we write the symphony That makes music obsolete?
Nature is in the same vein To speak of a final equation Denies the infinite, And the capacity for infinite permutation
What, indeed, is the point Of finality, certitude Or “theories of everything” When all is creativity—and the potential for true novelty

The Spectrum
One can be more aware or less aware This is the central dichotomy And Lord, we all know this fact about us: Most equate to a lobotomy
From a sage down to a salamander Is there any other way to see it? Awareness is our most central essence So we ought to make efforts to be it

I don't like the Pub they make it sound fun but just dumb
Endless garbage like markers under a street garage
Nothing of worth and nothing of value just endless shit with boring one line of the inane makes one insane
Dumbs down the world a bit so much worthless shit
I am just a worthless dumpster baby

The Present
Of course we all hear, we are now and here And that this is the primary fact It is plain, in the brain We’re in pain we don’t feign But we are dimensionally backed
When we examine, the feast and the famine We see a picture not so simple There’s the flood of the blood In the crud of the mud And the present is given a dimple
Why this need be, it flows free, it flows free And there is indeed some delay We’ve a clock that goes tock Not a rock that time mocks And we’re into it every day
It’s that one may see, one sees one may be At a vantage that takes in a view For some who aren’t dumb Zero sum, no end come Non-fundamental time is what is true
Escaping its clutches with feather-soft touches We may be permitted to do But in the beginning, winning and winning And sinning until we’re up and we’re spinning At some point the session is through
So when we reach the end, the past did portend And find that there’s time and the timeless We take both in our oath Quoth the sage in his growth Hoping when the twain join we’re not spineless

Metaprograms of Dune
Paul Atreides Master of the sand The fiends of Hades Cannot understand
A true heroic He does comprehend A trainèd Stoic A darkness portends
In that darkness Are forces insane In that starkness Paul must use his brain
But typical uses Are of no use here And frequent abuses Come to this Dune sere
The hero be clever Very clever he must In some way dissever From all who mistrust
His prescient visions Represent the radical His holy decisions Indeed fully apical
Metaprogram the cosmos* Literal worlds Multiverse in close Genius unfurl’d
*In Dune, Paul is metaprogramming across multiple universes. Metaprogramming is a phenomenon whereby a person overcomes his or her mental programming, and can select among an array of alternative options that are not available in ordinary consciousness (where typically a decision is restricted to two or a small few options). Paul Atreides is metaprogramming, not with multiple avenues of thought, but literally with multiple universes, nested in the multiverse. This could be considered the ultimate Magick. It is this phenomenon to which the poem refers.

A Clockwork Ourang
To deny a criminal his own free will May be some sort of crime But there are certain practical concerns That upset this all the time
For example (and bear with me) There is not some other place Like a prison planet lurking Somewhere in outer space
Where we could send the guilty So they even could be free The forgiving spirit of the Lord here Does not apply, you see?
In reality we must sacrifice them The rapists, murderers, thieves For public safety and common good So as few as may must grieve
Some sort of objective morality Cannot here quite apply Prisons are necessary expedients If just one is made not to die
