Nineteen Ninety One, May Day III

                       III
Alternating between “God Bless America”
And “The Star Spangled Banner”,
The marching band leads the parade
Down Main Street at twelve thirty-five.
Waving flags and sporting yellow ribbons,
Almost the entire population participates;
Leaving a very small audience
To witness this Declaration
Of Independence from Freedom
And the birth of the New World Order.

We must never forsake our Dreams
For they will find Reality
The moment we begin living
In Harmony with Destiny.

For My Sons

While floating down the River of Life,
Do not allow yourself to be forever drawn
Along with the current of popular thought,
For it is not necessarily Truth.

Occasionally search the eddies and backwaters,
Sifting through the mud, sand and stone.
Rest often, alone, on its sun drenched bank,
Viewing the turbulent flow as one removed.

Through Pisces to Aquarius IX

                IX
Modern day Luddite warriors,
Fight not for the jobs you have lost.
Tune out, unplug, and awaken
From the techutopian dream
To join battle late in the day
For the Soul of Humanity.

Nineteen Ninety One, May Day IV

                       IV
The Storm’s unseen terror has finally abated,
Yet chill winds still blow around the planet.
Except prayers to a savior arriving in the clouds
Or a welcome to beings from distant galaxies,
Jingoism’s omnipresent message
Offers little, if any, forum for earthly appeal,
Condemning unbelievers in peace through strength,
And peacekeeper weapons of mass destruction
To peeking at the future from assigned ratholes.

To Steve Moore

One cannot be held
For his lack of consistency.
We must be free thinkers—
Always progressing.
And if at any point
We feel we know
The absolute Truth for everything,
We must
And have an obligation to
Write it down—
    And jump from a bridge,
    For our worth is done.

The Prophetic Wind

Children of the Barbarian:
Your days may seem without number,
But can be counted nonetheless.
By worshipping gods of progress
Your essence has been forsaken.
When this Truth is comprehended
The sudden, outraged reaction
Will not halt the polluted flow
Of your futureless future dream.

Dream Fragment 5

Smartly dressed in red and black
The ants climb the green stalks
Slowly circling and circling
To coax a tightly wrapped bud
Open for the hidden pink
Gift of a peony sun
Rising over the green mountain
Of my flowering mind

“Is it valid to”
```
Is it valid to 
Orderly push
Ones mind—
Milking it
Expanding it
Thinking. . . .
Being?
