“There is no need of knowledge, reasoning, time, space, instruction from a teacher, or attainment of Samahdi.
I am naturally the perfect Consciousness, the Real, like the sky, Spontaneous and steady.”
we are as we are complete
with whom then should we compete
life flows on all by itself
what can we add to the Self
doubts that arise are of mind
but we’re soul loving and kind
resting instrument of thought
we become here now self-taught
we’ve vaporised fears have flown
samadhi too is now known
wisdom downloads have been graced
and wayward ego defaced
all we do is dwell in heart
feeling there ignition start
we are as we are complete
from head to toe bliss replete
what was veiled is now revealed
and traumas felt in dreams healed
breath by breath we bilocate
between earth and heaven’s gate
ego’s dead we’ve reclaimed light
breath by breath heightens delight
having plugged energy leak
we’re he we set out to seek

Surviving with little money
Life really isn’t funny
Raining even when it’s sunny
Don’t wanna run this rat race
No chance of keeping up pace
Falling on my flat face
But this is my turf
Like nowhere on earth
This is MY place
To defend with my life, so I don’t lose face
The smell of death is stale
Living like the alpha male
Every day is up for sale
Dreading when the phone rings
Know I gotta change things
This is what my brain sings
Seeing other people’s tears
When surrounded by their fears
This is what man hears
Sadness from the knife
Affecting someone’s wife
Causing family strife
Yet another day is done
Lost a daughter or a son
Another victim of the gun
My dream escape was through song
Every day I hope I’m wrong
But I fear my day has gone
Even being told your dope
Doesn’t always help you cope
But I aint giving up the hope
Bad influences to remove
To get back in the groove
Transition is rarely smooth
Find something inside to inspire
To lift the spirit higher
To give and keep the desire
Different life it needs to be
Can I make it, we will see
Change can only come from me

I met you once, and I was a bit intrigued.
I met you twice, and I was a bit fatigued.
The third time’s a charm is what they always say
And we live that to its fullest every day.
After just a few dates, we knew it was right
So, we up and got married, to our friends’ delight.
From the very start, we knew that it would last.
We’ve spent a lifetime creating our own past.
It’s been fifty years and we’re still going strong.
Every day together, we’ve gotten along.
Who knew that, in reality, all it took
Was a little bit of love and someone to cook.

Riding a horse or driving along a bumpy road
We follow swaying body rhythm getting to the centre
We cognise intuitively without letting lower mind goad
At the centre of our movement is where Shiva enters
Within

The stings, that disappointment brings, are deep,
When one’s believed in Love, and seen Love fail.
So often, on-track lives go off the rail,
And so, the Soul returns to caverns, deep,
And there, She waits, and gives up near all hope,
And huddles ‘between the rock, and the hard place’
And disbelieves in love, and faith and grace.
And rolls like round rocks, down a grassy slope
So gingerly, she weaves a net of rope
But lets the fish swim out! She cannot bear
To handle gentle things ungently. Where
Is gone the happy, faithful child of hope,
Who played with butterflies, and kites on strings?
O! Such an one is meant for joyful things!

I am 58
I was forced to three wives
That always feed on hate.
My offspring are millions of lives
Only united in sharing my cakes.
I am 58
I can't feed my children at my age
No, their elected elders won't let me to
Despite the plenty, they are left with little.
I am 58
Once a pride now a disgrace
Greed of few turn my honour to shame
Oh, my offsprings are disowning me everyday
From their quest for greener pastures, they return to me in chains.
I am 58
Every first of October they gather to celebrate me
Then abandon my dirts to beautify my competitors'
At my age, I am still a dumping ground; a land of generators.

well worth waiting for
cicadas do splits on screen
morning buzz for child
Brian Johnston
June 16, 2016
Poet's notes:
When I was a child my sister and I used to catch cicadas and put them on the inside
window screens of our house and then watch them molt their skins. We did not have
TV at that time. The wings would unfold and dry and in the morning we would catch
each adult cicada in our hand where it would buzz helplessly just before we released
it to the sky. This is one of my favorite memories of my childhood. For another poem
on a related subject, check out 'PH: Oklahoma: Killing Cicada Killers...

Lift up your voice and shout it out,
Declare my people’s sin.
Tell Israel her doom is near;
Soon judgment shall begin.
You think that I will see your works,
I see the heart instead.
In arrogant self-righteousness
Its offerings are dead.
But this is what I choose for you:
To comfort those distressed,
To loose the bonds of wickedness,
And free all those oppressed.
Give them your hands; give me your heart,
Sincere in all you do.
Then you shall take delight in me
And I delight in you.

Villanelle: The Dilemma of the Non-Violent – 58
No way must such protective force serve politics
Nor ally dictator army criminal police
None might weigh on Nature to impose its ethics
No exceptions tolerate no geopolitics
No super power excuse to fiddle with peace
No way must such protective force serve politics
No edifice stands aloft loose in building bricks
No Zapata fights for latifundio prize fees
None might weigh on Nature to impose its ethics
Dare not wanton call Nature’s course fiddlesticks
Even if life you lay down for cause in sacrifice
No way must such protective force serve politics
Can one forfeit life placate people’s economics
Mahatma Gandhi saw life’s work torn piece by piece
None might weigh on Nature to impose its ethics
Only the chieftain who bears with peoples’ conflicts
Can lead them along the road to Nature’s hospice
No way must such protective force serve politics
None might weigh on Nature to impose its ethics
