Premium MemberHELL’S PROCLAMATION VS HEAVEN’S REIGN

Satan:	World listen up
		I am the King of distinction
		Hatred, Corruption and Destruction at my helm
		Defeat is no option

Narrator: Satan thought
		Satan wanted to do battle and challenged the Lord
		A battle that would soon begin
		God’s Angels descended being the Lord’s spiritual
		Warriors and the Lord accompanied them

Lord:	I am the Lord Almighty of Faith in trust of Deliverance
		Satan you are

Lynn VS Lucifer
[Intro]
[verse]
Now we've all heard the story about the Devil and Johnny right? 
Johnny won a fiddle of gold and saved his soul with miraculous musical might. 
Well let me tell you about my meeting with the beast…not in Georgia but in New York, Up north a fair piece.
I saw him sitting in the

Detroit vs Everybody

How pretty
is the motor city
under neon diodes?

I sent my heart
into its stars
exhaled my soul
into rustbelt smoke

maybe I’ve lost my mind
or rather it’s left behind
my sanity abandoned
and blighted

my memories subjected
to successive evictions
—just f***ing forget ‘em—

I guess the city could
enlighten me a bit
on resilience

Premium MemberArtificial Light VS Natural Light

I ironically found paradise in sitting in a park
With a man who oft prefers sitting in his room so dark.
For us all of the artificial lights are just too stark.

El Barrio vs Harlem- A Streetwise Showdown

I’m the heartbeat of salsa, the rhythm of the conga,
Where Tito Puente’s spirit still dances on Third Avenue.
My murals speak louder than words—
Che Guevara, Celia Cruz, and the Spirit of East Harlem
Painted on every wall, telling stories of pride.
El Museo del Barrio stands tall,
A testament to our Latinx heritage,
While La Marqueta bustles with flavors of

Confederate Blaurt vs Police Academy

Billions in property lines
Child hostages 
John Candy and male stripping?

Owners of school holsters
Ama Jewish norigins










Watered ears kneeling 
Complicated boarding times
And unfinished conversations 
When and won't
Built a school
Running out of jobs together 

American Debts we can't shove 
Out of the paperwork

Reality or Falsehood

is it real?
am i real?
are you real? 
is anything around us real?
everything is perceived as fake.
i know it’s there.
i know it exists.
but for some odd reason,
it all feels hoaxed,
surreal,
dull,
empty,
ambiguous.
but why?
if i know people exist, objects are real, and my feelings are real,
so why does everything feel misplaced?
lost, even.
i discern as if i am fraud.
it’s a

Premium MemberThe Great Debate

(“Citadel of Light Merit Badge”, 2016, original pen and ink)

The Great Debate

The great debate in buddhism
Specifically in ancient Tibet,
Was between the sudden and gradualist schools.
Even though the event is apocryphal
And never actually happened,
It’s a good and relevant story
Because it is the debate that happens to this day
Between students and teachers,
Dharma brothers and sisters
And within our

The elegance of privilege

Privilege is elegant 
Graceful, as it glides like a breeze 
Unnoticed by those who catches its attention 
Noticed by those who live in the shadow
Although it's voice not loud 
It's presence demands to be heard
It's violence shows in its hidden claws
Knowing when to pounce and when to be quiet

It lives within recognition
And if quick smiles

Mind Vs Heart

Poem of the day 



My heart and brain, a constant fight,
A war within, day and endless night.
Emotions rage, like a stormy sea,
While logic whispers, "Think clearly."

Love and reason, in discordant sway,
My heart beats strong, while my brain says "wait".
Feelings flood, like a tidal wave,
While facts and reason, my passion try to save.

In this battle, I'm

Premium MemberJoy vs bliss

caged in a form in this domain
fleeting is joy as also pain
since we feel not one with the source 
thus are prone to struggle and strain

if we give up the use of force
discarding feral instincts coarse
befriending silence, love entwined
we read script of bliss penned in morse

head melds with heart, love aligned
one with oneness, the truth’s

Premium MemberCorrelation vs Causation

When you look around at the world
How do you know 
If it’s correlation or causation in effect?
You don’t.

The only way to really objectively know
Is to subjectively know
Which means we don’t really know squat
About the larger world outside our bubble.

And this ambiguity
Leaves us open to suggestion and doubt
And manipulation and control
By those with more confidence.

The truth

Premium MemberConceptual vs factual

in the heart of the absolute
an intent arose
to manifest as a soul seed
then see how He grows 

hiranyagarbha: cosmic egg
shaped like head ovoid
was the first manifestation 
pure and unalloyed

both immanent and transcendent 
Self as living light
crystallised then as body-mind
where ego blurred sight

earth life’s real and yet a dream
twirled by gunas three
yet light innate cannot be
