Not Someone's Grand Illusion
with a tap
the words come lighted
on a page
but its not paper
its impulses
power imparted
in less than a blink
technology
has outstripped what we think
we think
I want my thoughts
to be my own
no Neo
the machine within
the man
I individuated
long ago
from the herd
from the words
that said who I was
though I never agreed
don't let anyone ever
define who you are
to how you are
how you be
in any one moment
what is being authentic
but knowing you have thoughts of your own
language you've stamped and earned
and made your own
I would never be a drone
made in the image of something else
so I could fit in among the others
strong children move beyond
their Mothers
and live within the frames
they've constructed for themselves
nano*bits and little chips
do not belong within a human brain
the Great Spirit would not let
the Universe alter His refrain
nor would I
I can compromise
but never in this conclusion
do not tamper with all that I've become
I will be myself
the one I've honed through all*experience
in tried and time*honored self*revolution
I am not
I will not be
someone else's grand illusion.
(this time science you try to pry too far
my response to the latest experimenting
with adding implants to the human brain
.this is not science. this is meddling.)

Within your own Depth
Within Your Own Depth I look within my own eye and see a void so deep, so light. so fresh with flowers blooming across a pasture of grace, love, eternal contentment throughout our being. There is no sense of enjoyment until you find the pearl of satisfaction, wisdom understanding of why we must continue to go on with enthusiasm. Living is filled with excitement waiting to write the next chapter that enlightens our curiosity, the pleasure of body, hearts fondest desire, down yonder beneath our own depth of life itself. How interesting instant happiness can flow to the surface, without wishing for nothing, but a pleasant thought of something simple and beautiful Guess that means, if you are totally contented with life the way it is, you must be lucky to have found that little space in your life that brings flowers blooming in wonder, otherwise there is no explanation for the peace you have locked within your heart, willing to share the secret of true happiness found, without why this something special was ever found. Must be the door you saw when you were young and decided to find your way back to the door small, plain, rusting away, not a spark of desire to be opened, just a feeling that it must be opened and find that magical key. No demands on thoughts, love, feelings, only a simple understanding, of your inner*self That is what I found, a life of pure gratification within my own soul*fire.

Spiritual Power Prayer
I bow down on my knees,
In front of the Father;
As I tell Him my pleas,
That gave me much bother.
Every family,
In Heaven and on earth;
Gave the ability,
With the hope after birth.
He would grant you the wealth,
Of His glory through strength;
Through the Spirit for health,
Persevere any length.
That Christ dwells in your heart,
Through faith rooted in love;
And you can then impart,
His Word flow from above.
Have strength to comprehend,
With all the other saints;
Always greet that you send,
Never without restraints.
To know the love of Christ,
That surpasses wisdom;
Why He was sacrificed,
Prior to His Kingdom.
Filled with richness of God,
Knowing the love of Christ;
That you honor and laud,
So that you are enticed.
Whoever is able,
Do more abundantly;
Whose power is stable,
Not working reluctantly.
Unto him be glory,
By Jesus and the church;
With telling the story,
Through the truth that you search.

"weeping willow" -tanka
a light green weeping
willow arches across a
gentle stream, lightly
it sways amid a breeze, its
leaves gently kiss the water.

Growing is Painful
To live free physically is also to live free mentally
We must understand that we live in an imperfect world
For us to really be free, we must accept what is imperfect
that is what real freedom is, to accept our imperfect self
We are an imperfect species and a non*forgiving one
We tend to carry our grievances' a long way
We don't allow ourselves to wisely mature
That is why it takes us centuries to do so
We are a young country and we need to mature to keep up with others
We need to take the lessons of older countries and learn
We need to catch up to their maturity to be on an equal level
So we need to accept our countries imperfections to do so
Accepting ourselves is the first step to maturing our country
This Country is a diverse one and requires the maturity of everyone
The people deserve to live in safety and harmony
That is what mature and wise countries do, consider the rights of all people

Close Encounter Of The 3rd Kind
Hello, good morning, iechydd da
No please don´t go
There´s the answer to a question
That I really need to know
He said he was an alien
A fact I could have guessed
As he was hovering in the sky
And very strangely dressed.
He said he was a hologram from
A ship parked in near space
And he was here because
Of a news gathering race.
They had communications problems
Caused by a star going Nova
And transmission has been lost
Before an episode was over
The only reason that
He´d come this far
He really needed to know
Who´d killed J.R.
I told him the answer
And he hooted with delight
And then very quickly
Disappeared from my sight.
I hung around a while
Just to make sure he´d gone
Then I resumed my walk
And just carried on.
That´s the trouble with aliens
They´re just so very aloof
They just come and they go
Without leaving any proof.
He said he was from Birmingham
I said that´s not really very far
He said I quite agree, it´s
Just the next but one star.
