Strip the earth bare of "commodities", think Goods are everything that occupies mass, Trees-rivers-coal, even poverty, think Them mere ideas, know peace is not profitable Know war is...after all-claymores left behind Make clean-up jobs possible. Mans disgraces allow , blame free will- Evangelize- wildlife refuges take up useful space Use them, ignore results, give not one alm of damn After all, you will be dead soon, and not see The results of your self mutilation. Let the world continue under the guise That human power, unchecked- veiled by guile Is right, is predictable, is acceptable.... anyway..far away At a meeting, Sam Walton's ghost Embraces suited generals that lie, Denying love of Mao-it hugs them, Painting them left over Chiang Kai-shek's ( the room is gold, but the air is red) Old Sam chairs... shaking bloody hands That swung the swords above Tiananmen square... He will lead them, gaderene out of soup kitchen need Sam's surface plan is to wet their minds With surfactant ideas, like spreading around ...world-wealth by buying ten percent ... and... The junk peddlers smile under their red star hats, Their serious eyes flashing dollar signs That reflect from western greed.. so.. Enjoy your Chinese-stainless steel bar b Que-- out back, on your redwood/sunset- magazine deck, think nothing belongs to you You being just a swirl of electrons Held in a thin membrane- no matter- Waste all, conserve none-go to church where the pseudo pious sit assigned places Waving hands in the air as demonstrations Of faith, Crying for curtain calls and acts Forgetting Christ was a socialist Whose promises are made clear On the playbill of Revelations; While they wait for God to repeat The fate of dinosaurs. |

Inspired by this statement, sent to me in an e-mail correspondence, by a pip-poet, one of exceptional brilliance, I might add....  "Words just come out...flying from my mind to paper...sorta like I'm in a trance...while writing..." Sending thanks to you, dear friend... |

love the exerpts, and know I would love to read the full manifesto "Let the world continue under the guise That human power, unchecked- veiled by guile Is right, is predictable, is acceptable.... anyway..far away" yes, and some shall say as long as the problems stay far away, it's all ok... and they forget that Gaia is a living round entity, and what goes around...well, for Christ's sake (though I don't deify him) why can't humans see the forest? Thank you, for your heart and mindset. |

First... I know that pip-poet!  Second, I have been subscribing to AWAD for a few years now and remembered gadarene... http://www.wordsmith.org/words/gadarene.html and must say, you utilized its meaning exceptionally well!!! Oh, and a third thought... you and that PiP poet ought to duet!! So says the Sun... |
