our governor knows that there is no afterlife
he stands in his suit,
blue tie hanging like a noose,
smiling with dead teeth,
signing papers that send
another man, another woman,
into the dirt.
our governor knows
there is no afterlife—
he isn’t sending them to heaven,
he’s sending them to rot.
if he believes in the Bible,
he’s forgotten the line:
thou shall not kill.
no grey area, no loophole.
he pretends justice,
but it’s only blood

Absolute Consciousness
having been, seen and therefore known
the truth of consciousness full blown
as substratum of existence
etch if you will, our words on stone
there is no space, hence no distance
beheld when we shed resistance
seen in plain sight with our soul’s eye
recognised with God’s assistance
consciousness, the absolute I
is so dense even light can’t ply
energy intense tightly packed
omnipresent, so

The Absolute Worst
Small things become
large in a life at times,
appointments made
that hang like a sentence
over one's head,
incarcerating you in fear
for a week or more.
A pain that won't go away
growing into a dozen
self diagnosed causes,
some serious, some benign
until you remember
straining to lift
a heavy pot
yesterday or the day before.
Then there are all
the “what ifs”

No facades needed
for my love to prosper.
True nature lights the spark
that ignites my heart’s wick.
To keep the candle burning bright
all that’s desired is love and faith
accented with shared laughter
as our days go by.
No strings attached,
no fine print to be found.
My love is yours for the

Self and Absolute Self - God
Our journey is long, so be strong,
our resolve firmed by the Om gong,
that thus thinning out the ego,
divine aligned we do no wrong.
Let love laced be the seeds we sow,
seeing God in our fiercest foe,
poised as awareness self-aware,
free from desires, our thought flow slow.
Once with the vibrant void we pair
and ego cravings we outstare,
starved of

ABSOLUTE ZERO
LOST AND UNRECOGNIZABLE, LOOKING LIKE THE WORST ABSTRACT ART, THROWN TOGETHER ACCIDENTALLY
THROWN ASIDE LIKE AN OLD CAR TAKEN TO A JUNKYARD TO BE CRUSHED AND SHREDDED
DETERIORATING LIKE AN OLD HOLLOW TREE ROTTING AWAY IN A DEEP FOREST
ISOLATED LIKE A THOUSAND-YEAR-OLD GLACIER IN THE ARCTIC. FROZEN SOLID BY LAYERS AND LAYERS OF DISAPPOINTMENT,

If I hadn't met your gaze in that void of youth, when I mistook impulse for absolute truth
If I hadn't met your gaze in that void of youth, when I mistook impulse for absolute truth,
When I believed carelessness was courage and threw words to the wind, not knowing they would wound deeply and painfully.
Perhaps my words would have died unspoken, they wouldn't have deserved your silence full of meaning and pain,
Now, when

Absolute Mess And Chaos
No mess is fantastic
Lack of respect leads to war
War is horrific, evil and poor
Racism is not chic
Modern slavery is painful
Hate is awful, hurtful and plentiful
There is no justice
They don’t really want peace
Hypocrisy is ubiquitous
Supremacy is senseless
Discrimination is tasteless
Their audacity is obvious
Corruption is rampant
And the economy decadent
This is absolute chaos
The whole thing is a mess
Less than

LONGING
For so many years now
There are so many things
I've been longing for
A yearning desire
Very unquenchable
Salivating for liberation
Steadily craving for absolute freedom.
I've been aching
For unconditional love
Eagerly and restlessly
Pining and suffering
For absolute happiness
Hopefully attainable someday.
Hope realized leads
To peace internalized
I'm longing for the impossible
I want to do whatever none

GREENER PASTURE
Blooming and glowing
The garden fresh and ripe
A place or state of abundance
Never to lack or want
Greener pasture
All keep praying and thriving for.
A place without worries
A place of absolute harmony
Absolute pleasure without pressure
Better than where all was
Greener pasture all keep desiring.
Absolute peace
The vibes everyone vibrates to
Greener pasture
The destination
Everyone keep
