MY BODY IS A TEMPLE

You want bars and rhymes
I got a dime a dozen
Like eminem is my distant cousin
These words are written by hand
But melted out of my mouth
Born in the north
And raised in the south
My heart is the equator

People think its somethin
But its nothin

It used to matter back when Sam sang
But now Samsung
Is our entire galaxy

All I want now Is peace of mind
To sit back
And rewind
Drink a cold glass of time

I'm like a mime
When I talk
People dont listen

They are playing pictionary
But I'm on a mission
For peace of mind

If my body is a temple
Then meditate in me
If this world is an illusion
Then elevate with me

The things you chase
Are the things you see
But the things you need
Are the things I bleed

This world is
vampiric
Sadistic
Hedonistic
Not altruistic
Its ballistic
But I'm not bulletproof
Its
Sick and twisted
I didnt agree
Yet it insisted
On draining me

My life force
Is what runs the core
Of the earth

The blood of people
Like you and me

It will bleed us dry
Blue and gray
Is all I see

I never knew how much
Blood I lost
Until I stopped for a glass of tea

This world is vampiric
And
Masochistic
Unnatural
Not intrinsic
Theres no feeling
Its anesthetic
Paralytic

It's a growth
cancerous
A tick
Malignant
Blasphemic
Misery

And I am a god

So if my body is a temple
Meditate in me
If this world is an illusion
Elevate with me

All I want now is peace of mind

I am a god..
but you have profaned my temple

I never knew how much I lost
Until I stopped for a glass of tea

THE WAVES OF ETERNITY

Am I invisible
Like Air
I can hear what everyone is saying
But I cant listen
I cant connect
My mind is wrecked
And wracked

From this
And that

And everything

Why cant I feel
Why cant I see
How could I let my mind
Run away from me

I go through these motions
Like the oceans
You cant stop the waves
Of eternity

I get the notion
In my mind
Of this inevitable problem
This locomotion
That propels me forward

Constantly pushing me
Driving me into my own skin

Will I lose this battle
Or will I win

At this point what's the difference??

So here we are
In life
And I go through these motions
Like the oceans
They are pushing me
And pulling me
Into eternity
Neverending
You cannot stop the waves
No matter how hard you try

But
I keep looking at the eject button
After all....
I'm only just a co pilot

How can you be well
When this earth is sick?

How can you condemn
your own sins ?

How can you rebel against your own kin?

How can you tell
The difference within?

Let me ask you a question....
What separates
The ocean from eternity?

Constantly in motion
For miles it seems
Into the unknown
Where dreamers like me can dream

But
I am being pulled into this black hole
Where I cannot speak
I cannot feel
I cannot see

And I'm hoping
Praying
Wishing
Calling
Saying

Somebody Help Me!!

But no one is here
To hear me
No wheel to steer me
No heart to feel
Or light to see
Just the deepest
Darkest places
Of eternity

Ok....
I cry to myself
Take a deep breath
Take a look inside me

My heart beats
Like the ocean
And I get this notion
Of this locomotion
Pushing me and
Pulling me forward
Deeper into my own skin

How can I rebel against my own kin?
How can I condemn my own sins?

I am a tiger missing his heart
But i cant follow this yellow brick road home
Because all I see is a black hole
Staring back at me

Consuming my mind
From the inside out

So I scream out
Help Me!!

But there is no sound
There is only the absence of everything

The darkness within

So I sit here
And wait patiently

As my tears fall
They create an ocean
Beneath me
And these waves Rise
And keep pushing me
And Pulling me forward
Into this black hole

My Son
Help Me!!!
Please
Take my hand
Im blind....
I cant see
I cant speak
I cant feel
I cant breathe

I am suffocating

I survive on oxygen but its poisoning me....

Am I invisible
Like Air

Can anyone truly see me?

Floating these waters

Into eternity....

ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF A SPOTTED MIND

It's been awhile
Since I've seen you smile
That's right....
But tonight....

I'm gonna let my wings FLY

And off into the sunset I'll go
Will you stay?
Or follow me
For now
For eternity

The eternal sunshine
Of a spotted mind
Its sublime
Its irony
Its complicated simplicity

How complex life is
Yet, how simple life can be

How complicated are we
as humans..
To overcomplicate the simple synchronicities
That make us all unique
And beautiful
And perfect

To deny this truth
Is to deny Authenticity
You are a sheep
Because you lack the ability
To learn
And grow and
Become younger
As you grow old
But if could be so bold
As to assume your gender
It would be rude
Or assign you a label
As if you're mass marketed food

YOURE 75% off and still no one is buying you....

Do not live vicariously through your children....

oh how the mighty have fallen from their throne......

But out of the ashes
I will be reborn
A Phoenix of the Eternal Sunshine
Of A Spotted Mind

And tonight
I'm gonna open my wings and let them FLY

And in my trail
Are tears
And years
And Fears
And
In a mere
Moment
all this happened

Veni vidi vici
Is all I see

I left
I forgot
I was conquered

It all makes sense now
Its Bonkers

Caddy wompus blood sucking elephant vampire with horns and fangs....
That's the definition of bonkers.....

Now the question becomes how can he tie all this together especially after that bonkers statement.

Well....

You can see more clearly in Broad daylight
But..
You can feel more keenly in smooth moonlight
And You can think more freely
Up in the clouds of the sea, with me

There...
You see?
I did it
But it's not fair
That's not fair
ITS LIFE
THATS LIFE THEY SAID

Ha....well played my friend....well played....

Are you a free thinker or a free commodity?

So transpose yourself
Teleport your mind
Up above with me

I will tell you....
It's the only thing that makes me feel alive

So Come fly with me
Open your wings

All I can see out here
In the sunset

Is a spotted mind

But....

It's the only thing that makes me feel alive....

So tonight....

I'm gonna let my wings FLY....💖💖

Come fly away with me....

Persona Part 2

That's prospective not perspective. Please.

You see? That's an example of my ego talking. Past experiences forge mindsets about the future. Never once living in the present and simply "Taking it all in".

Do you ever stop and smell the roses?
Theres a reason people said that.
1. Stop. Pause. Exist. Connect.
2. Smell. Experience. Connect.

Do you ever connect to Roses?

Do you ever CONNECT to nature or to your Family or Friends?

Why do men chase women? To Connect. But since they live through their Ego they can only connect superficially. Therefore they feel the need for another "connection" after another. Possibly using somebody. Again using a BODY. All in the name of Holy Matrimony. Our "God given right" to marriage.
Some of which you all hold conspicuously close to the clifftop. Rather passionately might I add.
And your efforts, although noble, are in vain.

To feel the desire. The energy. A connection. A passion. Not dulled by the world or shriveled up like a raisin devoid of moisture.
An authentic connection....not a wireless wall socket.
That's why men seek women.
Why cant they communicate all of these feelings to you?
1. They are in their Ego
2. They cant even communicate this with themselves. It is sub-conscious.

Women have a different problem. You try to generate value in your general physical attraction and you neglect your metaphysical characteristics. You parade around, dancing all over the ballroom floor in your glowing persona dress....all for attention.
This doesn't mean you wear makeup or try to look pretty everyday.
This could be a simple interaction between friends, or in everyday life how you talk, or even on social media....

As we ask the same mundayne question....what is the meaning of life?
The meaning is that there IS no meaning.
To not exist is to exist.
When you meditate, you dont think. You stop thinking. Nothing exists, including you.

This is shattering your Ego mindset.
You are not a special and unique person.
You are A person. That simple.
The stars are millions in the skies....not special or unique as there are so many. Yet each one is amazing and perfect in it's own way. They are arranged randomly with seemingly no order, yet they are perfectly positioned.
The sad irony of life.

You can see the stars but you can never tell them how beautiful they truly are.
"Hey, you brighten up the night sky like the Moon!"
Will you lose sleep because you cant tell the stars that?
No. You cant control that. Just as you cant control your life.
Reality is there is an illusion of free will that gives you a sense of purpose and reasoning and decision making....but it's all a collective of neurotic impulses....neurons firing in your brain. Thousands. Millions maybe.
Not by your free will. Implanted there. Put there by some other means outside of you.

So then you develop this duality of nature. Inner man and Outer man. You become out of touch with reality because inner and outer feel segregated....you feel like 2 separate people. Constantly at war over who's in control of your body.
Its exhausting isnt it?
When in reality no one is in control at all.
The sad irony of life.

But you dont have to be in control to be happy. In fact most control freaks are unhappy. For obvious reasons....because you cant control anything at all.
You are just hoping and praying for things to go your way but there is no 100% guarantee. There is NO control.

You can only truly attain something by letting it go.
The sad irony of life.
Its totally a possibility, but to most, an elusive mystery.

Persona Part 1

We are all a result of what we have thought.
Up until this point you knew everything.
We get tired because our entire life is spent wearing a mask.
You cant find enough s*x partners to fulfill your desire.
Why?
Because instead of dying to your real "self" you continue to take on your persona...and wear this mask as your mark on society.
You want to continue acting....after all life is broadway...were all a bunch of p***y cats....

Me. This is me talking to you on a phone. Reread that statement 3 times.

What I say to you doesnt have to follow rhyme or reason. Doesn't matter the time of day or the season. Hot or cold. Rain or shine. Rhymes are just a rhythm in time. That's actually quite sublime if you think about it.
Bumps in time. Movements in space. The human race.

Fu***ng zombies. Not a single one of you can read.
I'm reaching out here on a limb from the Mother tree and you're too focused on the leaves to grab my branch. The sad irony of life.

The furthest things to reach are the closest things to find
The closest things to you are the furthest from my mind.
The only close things I have are the things I despise. The sad irony of life.

So if we as a society can simply take off our masks....shed our personas....we could realize that we are all connected. We are all one.

Fu***ng zombies.....the sad irony of life.
Good thing they cant read.

So if we as a society could simply let go of our own Egos....we could find something much better in our eyes...
Something much more mesmerizing
Then social media tries to be
More like the stars in the sky to me.
Randomly organized. But one entity.
A thousand water droplets but one Sea.
Arms and legs but one Body.

Now do you begin to see?

Me is I. I AM a body.
We always say "I want to be somebody"
We identify other people as BODIES.
Stop saying we are MINDS inside of bodies.

If you become nothing then you become something.
The sad irony of life..
You are all chasing a dream that you will never accomplish.
Why?
It's because the dream you have isnt in fact yours, but your Egos.
Which is not the real you, but an image of you. Much as an actor in a play.
That is not you but your ROLE. Real life is not about the past or the present but it is HERE and NOW.

How do you unveil this mask and become the real you? You do nothing. By asking that question you're asking to unveil a mask to reveal your mask. That is an Ego question.

You do nothing because you ARE nothing. And that is truly something when you realize it.
We exist in space and time NOW and only now. We dont exist in the past OR the future.
There is only the PRESENT. Which we currently exist in and will always exist in.

I always used to describe it as "smelling the air"....if you couldnt smell the air i.e. connect with the air.....like an avatar connected to the life tree. Then you arent alive. You arent LIVING. You are so deeply integrated into the matrix that pulling your plug has to be done against your will. Knowing that no one can truly pull the plug for you EXCEPT you yourself, you have to agree to be forced.
That is the mindset you live with.
The sad irony of life.

So why are all these men seeking out all these women?? People always say S*X. which reveals 1 key thing....That they are not enlightened.
Some people would call this MISINFORMED...but that's assuming that future information could change your present self...into which it cant....since you only exist in the present and will never actually be at your desired destination.

So what's the point of desiring anything at all?
EXACTLY. You desire things you dont have. You enjoy things you currently have.
Most of life is spent desiring and not enjoying. Mostly spent in the past or the future. Not the Present.
The sad irony of life.

So if you see this Ego is a facade....a mask....you dont say Well I'm gonna Rip it off and reveal my true self. Because you can't. No one can ever see your true form....not even you. Remember you don't exist in past or present, only NOW.
All reflections of you are either past introspections or future prospectives

08/18/2021

Word of Thought for Today:

Focus on being present. You are HERE and NOW.

Stop being depressed in the past or anxious of the future.

Depression slows us down and keeps us feeling left behind. It decays your mind.

Anxiety speeds us up and stresses us out, constantly worrying about the next move.

Stop complaining or venting on social media and start taking ACTION.

If you need volunteer help or advice, then ask, but don't complain and look for attention on social media. It will only belittle you as you feed your Ego and it grows larger.

Do what you can NOW

Let go of what you CANNOT.

*From Within*

Like the passing wind
Life flows
Into the nether

Hanging on by a thread

Will this needle save me?

Patch it up
Sew it up
Suck it up
Smoke it up
Rip it up
Cut it up
Numb it up
Blow it up

Savin us?
Forcin us
Makin us?
Morphin us

Like we're Power Rangers
Gasp. I'm in danger
My mind is saying Relax man..
I'm not a stranger

Can you believe the audacity?
I mean its straight Lunacy
How you people aren't bored
With all this fu***ng Normalcy

You're not a black sheep
You're a Black Goat
I'm a real black sheep
Not that I need to prove it yo

You're constantly belittling
Never still, always fiddling
Never well, always ill I see
And still never see
The illness In me

It's a figure of speech
Not jealousy
A shadowy figure
Emerges slowly
Behind me

Why are you here?
I came for you

Why did you come?
I came for you

What??
What do you mean?
You mean the same
Energys pent up inside of you?

You're not making sense to me
Its confusing and bewildering
It's a Collusion
Not Confuciun
It's an illusion
Not a democracy

A fat
Hippo (hypo)
Crit(e)
Echo
See?
No ones
Listen
In
So listen
in
And listen
when
I speak in tongues
Of these evil men

Theres dark powers rising
In the city, Like the wind
Theres dark showers pouring
Turning good to evil men

Theres dark towers watching
Lord of these things
And so it begins

Theres dark powers rising
From within

Theres dark powers rising
In your home
Inside your phone
In your kids
And Inside your wife
In your fridge
And inside your bones
In your head
And inside your Life

So stay in the Ozone
And own it
Slay em with an old phone
With cracks on it

Stay in the old zone
And make it

Slay em with the same tone
And flaunt it

Like a passing wind
These words came
And left......

Sweeping in your mind
Seeping through your eyes
Seeing dark to light
From within

*NON SOCIAL MEDIA*

You are Drowning from thirst
You are Dying from being full
What you call evil is good
And what you call good is evil

It's crazy
How insane
And Zany
You people act

You're all on the
Social media crack

You're addicted
You're afflicted
You're spiritually evicted
You're always bored
And Your mind is constricted

Its like...
Spiritually I graduated college
And you're a 2 year old
Wow.. how can you say that?
How can you be so bold?

Because I'm confident
And it's TRUE
I'm not gonna avoid the topic
And I'm not gonna lie to you

But you WILL lie
Just to get those views
Just to get those likes
And comments too
Wont you?......

Will You sell yourself
For an elaborate ruse?

Will you sell yourself
Just to receive a Noose?

When I speak
Its cryptic
When you listen
It's as a Critic
When you talk its optimistic
But in your mind its apocalyptic

You are Fake as Day
And bright as night
You are the moonlight in daytime
And the sunlight at night

You are so damn awkward
Yet you feel right at home
Right where you belong
You're a phone with no dial tone

You're dead inside
Those arent living eyes
I've seen the stars
And I've seen the skies
And your eyes
Dont mesmerize me
Like they do....

You think youre complete
But you're full of holes
You think you're a masterpiece
But your Masters back at home

You're clean in the body
But filthy in the soul
All These small things
Add up and take a toll

Wearing you down
Wearing you down
From within

They wear you down
As you drown
As you drown
From within

I could repeat myself
But your ears are closed
I could show you in person
But your eyes are closed
I could let you feel and touch
But your spiritual skin isnt exposed
You could read these written words
But your brain is transposed

We arent on the same level
Me and you
I'm up in the clouds
But you're black n blue
I'm Einsteins math
And your hitlers jew
I'm a blood diamond
But you're just a bloody muse

You disgust me
In every way
Every inch of you
Is like night and day

You're a walking contradiction
A soul-less tradition
A mindless apparition
And a timeless condition

You're everything I hate
And everything I want
You're everything i need
And everything I flaunt

You are my reflection

Peace of mind
Is both an eternity
And a moment
In time

As a gentle breeze
Blows down a leaf
From a cherry blossom tree

Pink purpose
Mixed with soft heartedness
Falling into a sea of air

Your life fades into obscurity

Pain has become your true companion
An ice cold glass of truth
your drink of choice

What resemblance shall I see
Laid before me
When all the blossoms
Wither and fade
With the passing of time

Life has become so surreal

Your search for beauty and truth
Never ceases

Even with every lash of the rope
You still keep your eyes toward the heavens
Waiting for the Sun to draw near

As you lay faceless
And motionless
On the ground

You watch the gentle blossom leaves fall
And begin to wither

Their soft beauty
Becomes one
With the earth

Each one is unique
Each one perfect
And beautiful
In it's own way

Amazing

Your eyesight begins to fade
Clouded with tears and blood
Corruption and Greed

For the loss of earthly sight
Brings heavenly vision

Your eyes close completely

As you float into a sea of truth
And tranquility
You once again glimpse
The cherry blossom tree

Flashbacks of your youth
Come before you

Tying the knot of your mind and spirit
Together
At once
Unified

They have vilified your youth
They have trampled your spirit

Soulless vampires

You watch them as they chop down
The cherry blossom tree
With their bloody axes
And evil grins

You cry out
But no sound comes out
You try to move
But your body is paralyzed

Someone must protect the tree
Your anxiety rises
With every beat of your heart
Your stress builds
With every snap of a branch

They must be stopped

You look around you

There is no one

No one will help you

You are alone

But dont lose heart

Dont lose purpose

You must protect the tree

From all that is unholy

Drive them off
Make them flee
Kill them if you must
Just dont let them touch me

I wont

I promise

As your eyes open

You feel a leaf
Gently caress your face

The strength of a thousand moons
Builds inside your heart
You are invigorated
Rejuvenated
Renewed
From within

To withstand 1 thousand blows
From this corrupt earth

To protect the pink purpose
And soft hearted leaves
Of this tree of beauty

This tree of love

This tree of inner peace

05/24/2021

They call me the Night King
That name has a nice ring
To it
Doesnt it

Bow before your king

Underneath this full moon

I am the eclipse of your senses
The elements of your destruction
I have brought your greatest warriors
To their knees
But it does not please
Me
It sickens me
That humanity
Is a disease
With no cure
We are impure
And ignorant
Of the allure
Like fish
We are lured into
A false sense of security
With growing adversity
We approach this new day
This new dawn
With animosity

They say Curiosity killed the Cat

Bow before your king

I am darkness incarnate

I am chaos within

I am the full moon rising

Come see what I have become

I am the Night King....
