If we fix and cheat our consciousness
with tricks and treats of acquisitiveness
we poison and break our sweet, lonely hearts
When we deny the truth
as a battle cry for a coup
we choose to destroy and not create
we endorse ignorance and embrace hate
white grievance exceptionalism
thinks freedom's torch needs blood to burn
brown, black, yellow, red, and Jew
everyone else's blood but you?
don't give dark thoughts room to swarm
insect clouds blast from blowhard's bullhorns
obscuring our clear sky of open mind
With toxic plots that knot en masse
that darken our days with flash-bangs and tear gas
they blot out the sun, blinding our gaze,
with widespread dread from inbred lies
spoon-fed trumped up meant to colonize
forked tongues that muddle our head
clashing smashing into deadly bloodshed
the banality of mendacity breeds
misled hotheads seeing red
they lose the thread of what's sound and true
they misconstrue according to
their misleaders and deluders
in samsaric Deja-vu'
be still, and chill, with the skill of neither pushing nor pulling
ambushing or bullying
let all the mud settle and sink back into the slew
all the belligerent ignorance inside me and you
unburden your vision un-blot and undo
our pernicious blindness with all its hullabaloo
let our spirits shine kindness
with the goodness we once knew
let the spacious infinity of gracious serenity
surround and unbound our confusion and woe
no more obsequious supplicants
and devious truculent(s)
vowing to pay homage to some bozo
let that go before we all go extinct
quit being a sucker, duped and hoodwinked
regroup and see we're all the same
don't be fooled by a corrupt con game
behind all the noise of obstructionist demagogues
and reductionist ideologues
with their contortionist lapdogs
is the dissolution of duality
with all its pollution and brutality
let's keep vigilance for the menace of divisiveness
the illusion of separateness
creates confusion in desperateness
way upstream at our root core and essence
we merge, fuse and meld
in conscious luminescence
all beings in all times
many limbs from the same tree
nerve-endings and sock puppets
of an infinite intelligent mystery
a musical resonance of limitless blessedness
irrespective of
our shapes, forms, and colors yet heard of
we are music, sweet music, the music of love
all beings in all times
panoramic consciousness
in dynamic mindfulness
vast hearts with vast minds
conjoined entangled, enmeshed, and entwined,
expansive, wholistic, artistic and kind
open-hearted and ready to listen to each other
our soul sisters and soul brothers
and all creatures on earth mother
in the fullness of being
timeless in silence,
insight lights up minds like stars
an unceasing fountain
from love's reservoir
– Colin Farish
