Gathering Storm
Static-air, forebodes a coming storm
American troops march to global war
Nearly one in ten shall wear a uniform
Raindrops prepare a deadly downpour
Generals discuss Hellish plans
Of how to get from here to there
What to do with conquered lands
When great cities are laid bare
'For Democracy' is why it’s said they’ll win
While pundits spin and wild zealots preach
As was so, not long ago in the city of Berlin
When insane ranting usurped coherent speech
Woe! To those that seek to kill their brother
They know not, their very souls they smother

When Sunny Turns Blue
In a funk?
Feeling anxious?
Feeling blue?
Take heart,
Here's what you do;
Take a walk,
Around the block
Contemplate your life,
Take stock
Forget the News,
It's mostly bad
Shoot your TV
You'll be glad
If your broke,
Have no money?
Lost your job?
Gone...

Philosopher Stone
Throughout the Ages:
Alchemists have sought a magic stone,
Possessing virtues of “The Emerald Tablet”
Some mystics find truth, yet some are prone,
To exploit “Arcane” for selfish gain,
The balance of natural world they upset;
By making gold from common lead
By attempting life from what is dead
By pride and avarice they are led
In truth;
We must recognize a Spirit’s goal,
To understand that the Philosopher Stone,
Resides within the human soul…
A gift from God, which makes one whole
“So above, So below”
We then embody and extol

“hit ‘em Where It Hurts”
“Occupy Cities” calling for a “General Strike”
Asking that citizens engage in nothing taxable
To send a message to the 1% they won’t like
To let them know that “Greed is off the table”
ROTMS
“Why will a General Strike work?
Simple:
It attacks the government in a lawful, peaceful manner in the one way they cannot counteract:
It cuts off their funding!
You can't tax what doesn't happen, basically. This is the people's way to peacefully withdraw consent to being governed.
You buy nothing, you perform no work, you do nothing that is taxable.”

A Special Place
I sit in the still quietness of morning;
Eyes closed, cross-legged
Breathing deeply, rhythmically
Random thoughts float by
like so many summer clouds
Brain struggles to replenish but
quickly yields to stillness…
My “Special Place”
That rests between;
Earth and sky,
Moon and sun,
Heaven and hell,
Euphoria and angst,
Courage and cowardice,
Light and dark,
Right and wrong,
A place of safety and peace;

Stargazers
Cast upon Earth, born into matter
Given 5 senses n’ “The Breath of life”
Here, ‘til we ascend “Jacob’s ladder”
Here to savor human bliss n’ strife
We stand upon the Earth…you n’ I
Terrestrials bound by law of gravity
We gaze up in awe at an endless sky
We travelers from a dark n’ inky sea
Our hearts long for whence we came
We homesick n’ expatriate stargazers
Hopeful God above our souls’ reclaim
“It is done” cry-out cosmic-trailblazers
We only dance on Earth a short while
Rejoice!
Life on Earths a privilege, not an exile

“human Doings”
Men forget to live as human beings
'stead, choose live as human doings
Lust, fame, fortune is what they sing
Ignorance is all they've been proving
Wake up brothers n' smell the coffee
Time to see just what you’ve created
You've chosen to act out abhorrently
As It’s selves and Earth you’ve hated
A shift from selfish to selfless, what’s needed
A gift of service toward your ailing brothers’
A gift, countless Masters came n' seeded
A gift, once given you, by loving Mothers
When urge for mischief you overrule
Implement that day 'The Golden Rule”

Sunny
In a rainforest lives a girl named 'Sunny'
Lives amongst trees of alder ‘n cedar
A beautiful child, bright and funny
From afar, many come to meet her
Where’s she from you may inquire?
Is she a fairy, gnome or elf?
No, she's a daughter of Mt Hood, born of fire
Should you find her, ask her yourself
What is destined for this wondrous child?
Will she be a healer, mystic, forest queen?
Nay, she’s far too humble and mild
The most perfect child the world’s ever seen
Should you walk Sunny’s forest one fine day
She just may find you and teach you to play!

I Only Speak Of Love
Pray tell your sad story dear brother
Of how the World owes you a living
Whilst you murder our Earth Mother
Intent on only taking ‘stead of giving
In a world defined by gray and umber
Black vultures seek devour peaceful dove
In a World filled with men who slumber
Mine heart compels I only speak of love
Gone the age of Pisces, Aquarius now rules
Revealed again the wisdom of past Sages’
Opened wide the doors of mystery schools
Eternal “Book of Life” reveals its pages
The time is right to awaken second sight
Third-eye opens, inviting in God’s Light

The Quickening
Sir Francis Bacon had a great vision
Of establishing again a New Atlantis
Planned n’ launched British invasion
Ate everything, like voracious Mantis
Freemasons broke free of their King
Framed and signed the Constitution
For show, refused kiss George’s ring
Stealth monarchy was their solution
Then till now Presidents get appointed
Groomed n’ schooled are they to lead
Masons tied to England duly anointed
Steady to “New World Order” proceed
Dear brothers’ be ye no longer fooled
America has always been British ruled
“God save us from the Queen”
