Poor homophobes

me reflected in gold fleck screen

they really do have it hard.

some of them believe their children will not go to heaven!

how sad it must be to live that way

I mean if you don’t believe in heaven, that’s one thing

but say that you did

and you believe that you’ll be there

with most everyone

you love

but the child you bore

will burn in some hell

not because of anything they’ve done,

but because of who they are

and who they love.

I pity the phobes.

/

and what an evil sect

to teach and train

this heartbreak in

/

but that’s how they get you

god money sin

god money sin

/

AND THESE POOR NATIONALISTS

you know these guys have it really rough.

most of them think they have to kill human beings for land and sea!

can you believe?

what a tortured way of living

because if this is your truth

you are never enough

never have enough

and it hurts so much

since you don’t know anything,

and what you were sold

was to do you in!

so you take someone’s

life and land

but your soul, then

it eats you from within

I pity them

since one way or another, everyone learns

in the end

/

and what an evil sect

to breed and burn

this hatred in

/

but that’s how they get you

god money death

god money death

CHURCH AND STATE.

I can change myself and that’s it.

Aware of what I [you] practice and this as part of it.

Help is feeling sunshine air within.

Remember love.

Fall grateful up with chin.

You are it.

 

Who Is there to see truth? Yours is true for you and mine too

yes values

yes ethics

and morals, if you choose

 

A few years back I began to ask people questions about things I wonder and record (with permission) as anonymous interviews. Including: “what is a culture?” “what is self/not-self?” and “what do words do?”. so people of different nation and age record with me. i collect to make from and share their ideas on these questions and on the constructs and ‘material’ if you will, of “perception” and “time”.

But they have nothing to do with who is better than who.

Value is what is common among us.

Life’s value.

That is the value we can put out before us.

Love those you do.

Be free to choose.

Identify on whatever spectrum you use.

 

Move and lift soil of love

Overturn the rich dirt to ground water below

#

 

trips itself running down my leg, running it drips. warmer than the room, it moves at a different time than my leg. A single drip runs a thread down my right leg. I sit spread in sun a heated breeze roun my face.
