Peace Pilgrimage

Seize the Day, Dreamers

You ask,  “What for?
the world is ruled by mobsters,
con-men, and sociopaths
who like to interpret the law of the jungle
and make it sound civilized and legal.”

They’re really aggressive types,
willful and destructive
power mongers, psychopaths and warlords
drunk with greed.

Seize the day, gentle people,
artists, musicians, dreamers
of a heaven on earth
don’t follow their lead;
learn from your mistakes;
make the world a better place;
have the Spirit move you into action.

Seize the moment, dreamers
the nightmare is ending;
the underworld had it’s time in the sun;
study, prepare, participate;
the time is now and waiting
for your curtain call.
			

War is Like an Addiction

but in the end
who would have guessed
some caring person in a position of authority
would order a raging, gun-slinging male
to surrender and lay down his gun?
right there in the republic of Boulder Colorado
despite those who had already fallen victim
a megaphone sounded in the chaos and terror:

"Surrender and put down the gun" 
"We are Boulder Police.”
They came and ushered him away in the cold
in his skivvies and his leg bloodied.

How many?      How senseless
this living nightmare!
this authoritative voice reached
through the chilled fear
that we might be able to learn something
from all this futility and terror,
this war could be won with
understanding and solid police work 
in the line of fire.

“Put down your guns and surrender
joint chiefs of mayhem and corruption”

Let the torch be passed to a new generation.   
We thank you all for your service
to our beloved nation. 
Bring the troops home now Donald, NOW!
We aren’t at war with anyone, but ourselves!

				

Pursuit of Happiness

You won’t defeat terrorism with bombs
It doesn’t even have to be a turf war
the birds and animals give us all that
there is plenty of room in our great land
for all to thrive, prosper in harmony;
there is beauty in feeling ownership
of your soul, America! 
nothing to be afraid of; 
We came to this land
to become one with it;
not to dominate, or make a whore
of the land and have
mutual dominion of resources.
80 years of militarism and nothing
but divisions amongst us?
There is no freedom in hate
There’s nothing but fear &
our forefather’s sins violating
our right to full reconciliation.
Happiness is not something elusive
to chase, conquer or control;
It happens when you respect “the other”
As the patriarch Abraham blessed us
with a story within, there will we find:
dignity, respect, liberty;
the right to be true Americans!
			

Haiku Meds

PTSD is
The universe holding us
All accountable.

The Monks are coming
Help us into mindfulness
of our father's sins.
	
We're all in this 
Together.  .  .apart, searching
For that reckon'd path.

Waging peace involves
Being adaptive at best
Speaking truth to lies.

All is leverage
When it comes to lifting veil
Be willing to go.

Peace is coming soon!
to teach us master class on
poetic justice!
	

Going Toward Lighter Days

Stability is a relaxed nuclear posture
A time out from militarism
Are you guys insane or what?

Arrogance will be lost
When empire is abandoned
Security was never with nukes.

They were illegal from day one
Trump and his underworld connections
Nuclear weapons 
and their syndicated crimes.

Our once proud nation is being humbled
To its soul and why not?
Exceptionally militant is not cool.

Peace Dividend

Here’s a possible scenario to bring 
an end to the war on nuclear terror:  
Resignations from the warlords 
at the pentagon,Capitol Hill, 
throughout the fake empire. 
Mandatory treatment 
for post-traumatic stress;  
Disappearance of all empirical commands. 
We the people understand this
To be self-evident truth.
The stress has gotten to all of we, 
the people,
All are complicit in criminal insanity;
Americans thank you for your service
But it’s time to stand down!

Then Americans can be free 
to be Americans; Christians will be free 
to be real Christians; 
Muslims will be recognized 
as people of faith.
The Messiahs are those we’ve colonized! 
We all get our well deserved 
and hard earned,
Peace Dividend!  
Have forgiveness and gratitude
dwell within your hearts and minds.  

The way out of this medieval dilemma 
is for civilized humanity doing the 
morally right thing in the moment. 
Come to the De-dupification room!
Volunteer to get De-dupified!
We’ve been duped by the nukes
Who duped it out with greed and lost.
Don’t enable genocide!
Help prevent suicide!
Get De-dupified
Be healed and sanctified!
