Mastodon Photo-Poems, Volume 1

These three photo-poems were posted on Mastodon January 21-28, 2024, and I was shadowbanned on the site after posting the first poem. Because I was left with no way to use hashtags or tags, no way to post comments on other people’s posts, and no way anyone could search for me on Mastodon, I left Mastodon. I had gone to Mastodon because I had been shadowbanned on Twitter/X, but on returning to Twitter/X in February, their shadowban had been lifted.

World Battlefield Opinion

(written for the Facebook groups Friends of Auroville, and Auroville, INDIA but only approved and posted by the latter group, after sending a small poem that appears below this one. It must be noted Friends of Auroville removed me from their group and blocked me.)

I like rainbows
spoken in the most clear and circular terms.
Please, I’d rather have this is gonna turn out.
I sit here with my hat in my hands.
I’m a big roar on magic.
Wanna see my human unity?
It’s in your beautiful hands.

The uncompromising villager,
the most accounted for
where we find human unity,
if you’re not on its side,
if you wanna freeze it,
if it’s not something you can work out
because they won’t let it.
They just like their tribe.

You can’t get away from Nature’s homegrown,
and sometimes
you have to swallow them whole.
Definitely,
that’s our footpath here.
That’s our red beer here.

How do I get this off my property?
We are not romantic letters.
I’m not tryin’ to get yah to buy toothpaste.
I don’t have an engineer here
doing anything
except talking to you.
You’re my sweet opening
to ride my pages.
I don’t fight you.
I just stand and sing.
We need some heaters to loosen up human unity.
I’m not trying to get you to buy land in Florida.
I’m going with my function among you as a photographer and a poet
to be part of this great experiment.

I’m his poet,
the boy we had such a mind
to open and facilitate.
Did anybody publish?
You won’t let a boy and me together in plain sight.
You won’t even let him on this page.
Human unity
bills him to you,
that little boy I took care of for so many years.
Pay on your buddy
my friend.

Where is human unity?
I think we have to find our divinity first.
It’s like the psychic change
can’t be complete until the spiritual transformation.
I don’t know what I’m sayin’.
The yoga beefs here.
We put it in Auroville’s hands.
Now that’s a stalk monster.
I’m blind to this—
the tree hunters.
I can’t get it off my chest—
the need to see Auroville as human unity.
It’s a crash course in nothin’—
the battle weary Aurovillian says.

We can’t see it in our feet.
We can’t see it on the road.
It’s too big for us.
It’s a journey inside.
I’m sorry most people are not prepared for this.
I’m not even close.
I’ve been waylaid.
An ignorant mother took my child
out of spite.
You don’t know the dynamics of raising foreign children.

Now I hate that mother and her whole crew,
and I had achieved an amalgamated oneness in my mind,
realization’s status
in mental wears,
not in that point of no return.
The boy was my apprentice,
my give my gifts to,
already writing whole poems from the inner voice.
He rode samadhi a time or two,
approached the Silence,
neared the sun.
An overhead experience had opened his mind.
He talked about the world like it was his brother.

Then he lost it all in one fell swoop.
No contact allowed,
and the boy’s been sat on for months
and abused.
I was opening up human unity for him
by going inside.
I know how to do children,
without that stink.
My inner consciousness opens theirs.

I can put human unity on a beanpole
now that I’m mad at these people
and wish them dead.
I’m just sayin’.
What a drop in flesh.
I was showin’ him to you when it happened,
when human unity fell
from my hands.
The irony in being on the other side of child abuse
wanting to protect your child.

You have no idea the intricacies of karma on a mountain sink,
when you see the world as representation and not as it.
I flounder here.
I’m mean this world plays for keeps.
The vital is in an uproar
I’m calming down now.
My yoga works.
I sit in spiritual vision
and confess my soul.

When they’re hurting your child what do you do?
When he’s crying and talking of suicide,
and he’s only 12?
They’ve made him think he’s crazy
with all the gaslighting,
and do no forget he’s been beat.
I can’t find human unity here.
Now I understand someone else’s child
is dear to you too,
and along comes some man
who changes their dream,
hits them hard
with the facts of life.

You’re a bugger aren’t you?
No I am now a healed man,
feeling what you feel
when you look at me.
You want them punished.
You want the child safe and sound.
You want him healed,
but the formula for that is not in your hands.
I’m a call on that notion.
I’ve a vehicle of self-healing’s swirl,
and I know how to heal children.
I know how to open their consciousness,
and I am flabbergasted
divine process has ruined me
and flattened my child.

This is not fair.
It’s not right.
My ego blunders.
I sit in your stool and say that.
I point the finger at other people.
I arrange them with my hate,
because they’ve killed my child
where they hurt him,
and they hurt him in his love for God,
his trust in the Mother,
and they beat him for his love for me,
and all the while say they know I was good to him.
They’re his parents and they have the right to take
and beat
that mother told me that in a swaggered brag.

You lift your head up and see me
mourning over a child,
like I’ve never been healed.
That child is still my number one day.
Okay what did I do?
I made that child’s feelings God.
Attracted to him,
I gave him God’s eyes.
I gave the world a bath
when he was little.
I tempered him through Dog
as a medium for our affection.
We loved each other through a Rottweiler’s fur.
Healing’s ways visited me
like a mountain tribe
close to the sun.
I was guided.
The feelings of God
I opened up in me
to care for this child.

So many tools I used,
so many make it right.
Then the Devil comes in and damns it all,
and you dance to this tune.
Do you know how much power the Hostile Powers have
to turn off our lights?
It makes you question the divine.
It makes you try to blame God.
What do I do what do I do?

I come back to myself of course.
I peel off this hate
from blocking the psychic’s view.
I stand and sing.
How far you have to go inside yourself to find human unity.
I’m afraid most can’t do that.
We have to have developed souls,
and we have had to have found oneness inside ourselves.
How many go that far?

We’re in the stage of adopting belief.
Can we understand a multi-generational project?
We want the consciousness open,
so our children can grow up wise,
a human unity bundle,
but you have to get it right with children,
so they can make the journey
if you can’t,
the journey inside
our yoga talks about.

I’m a vehicle on that worth,
and I’m hamstrung right now
for loss of my boy.
I am just this landed fish
speaking into your microphone.
Now I’m supposed to tell yah
human unity is a spiritual aim,
soul’s quarters.

I believe, I believe, I believe [line heard sung, from It's Too Late To Turn Back Now]
don’t bring it through your front door.
It comes when you’ve seen the One
with its own eyes,
a vision in consciousness.
You can’t rule it into play.
It’s not a textbook model.
Can you find spiritual process?
Isolate that nigger.
This is perfect sin.

The suffering is so explosive.
I don’t know how to manage it.
I’ve managed art with it,
so radiation in purpose,
and I die by the public barrier.
No one wants to hear this.
It’s just spilled upon my paperwork.
People would slap me for it
instead of help.
I just sit here and cry
so often.
You know I’ve heard from that boy.

The insanity with which his mother has put him,
so she can keep him from the slightest contact
with a man who raised him,
would make you want to put her away
if you knew the extent of it.
He will tell no one but me,
and those around her support her.
It’s a living nightmare,
and this is what happens when you do right with a child
and turn on their lights.

I’m an Auroville side keeper.
I’m conducting the experiment in my home.
I think you’re too rigid for that
in your mainstream rooms.
Surely the consciousness will change one day,
but you don’t know how.
I bring in that formula,
and you won’t even look at it.
Now it’s been captured by the Hostile Powers,
and no community supports me
to engage these misguided parents.
What do I do?

Stay close to him in inner consciousness
and hold him there,
wait for him to give me some outer contact,
with no satisfaction that will come.
You sit there and enjoy this,
the child removed from my lair,
kept from my clutches.
I pity you.
You are not the experiment.

I throw you a human unity ball,
and I would get into the quick of things,
if you let me,
in your own rooms,
by doing art
and making it public so you can see.
What are the issues that divide us?
The handle of children,
I can take you
to where we are feet with them,
the places that society all sees
but gives it permission to be,
and I can take you to their God room,
and what beauty can come out of a child
when their inner doors are open
to the God-felt expression of their soul.

A social trigger we do not fathom but persecute,
when it’s as deep as this
into our children’s honey.
When it’s social honey,
can you come together on this
and extend us your hand?
I can give you his song
inner hearing wrote.
Listen to the boy.
You know he’s months away
from being taken from his home at the lake
and made to feel so alone.

The future folks he’s got in his hands,
and he’s blisterin’ himself now
with his vision of the future that has failed him
now that it’s come to pass.
So much spiritual technology he wrote
to save himself from a future situation transpiring now.
I give you this miracle
if you would but look at it.
He cannot.
He’s not allowed.

The damage is done,
and the light’s been put out,
and he won’t even save himself
but has laid down and died,
giving himself up to total dominion,
and he’ll lie about it if you ask him,
scared of his parents’ wrath.

That’s the hope today,
the boy tells you what’s real
if you ask him.
It’s a hope place to start.
It’s a country road.
It’s the place we land our feet
and give this boy his chance.

The menu,
it’s got Gods all over it,
and it tells what happened
when the boy told his father he wanted to go home,
live with the velacara
in a permanent song,
but that was Sri Aurobindo’s house.
The future is in his voice.
It’s the future in your hands,
if you’ve never seen it before.
He gives a prevision of the future
his soul wrote.

You’ve not seen nothin’ like it.
It’s captured on the journey home
to the lake.
In one fell swoop,
that boy tells you how the cow ate the cabbage,
and you’ll just have to sit up and take notice
the boy heard this line by line
spoken into his inner ear
complete and unabridged.
We used my voice recorder.
Other than that no help given.
Now tell me this boy should be shot.

This is a cooperative journey.
We can’t leave Nithish there.
He’s a prototype
of a brand new kid,
and boy does he have baggage.
What was meant to be:
we are consciousness bundles,
and by our poetry you see that
we can bring you vehicles in consciousness
headed for our high change.
Eat that in the Menu of the Gods.
Can we find Auroville?
I’m drivin’ you home.
From Nithish’s YouTube channel

On August 19th, I sent the following small poem to both Facebook group’s admins with a link to the poem here on my blog, asking again that they post the poem, and in my stats I saw that two people in India came here from Facebook, and it’s reasonable to assume that was admin from one or both of those groups. Within a couple of days, Auroville, INDIA posted not only it but also two more posts I had pending, all at once. One can only say thank you when that happens.

Do somethin’
more than just an operator’s opinion.
It puts human unity in your lap,
and I’m the border they cross.
Don’t kill it again.
It’s costly.
You’re destroyin’ human unity.
Can you get a handle on it?
Censorship is for what’s wrong
and makes us bleed.
Is it really for what makes us right?
Answer the question,
and that’s the ordinary.
Let’s cup in our hands the extraordinary.
I give you a ride there in this poem.

Even True Meaning Rated Art

Martin Luther King Jr. at the Controls by Donny Lee Duke
The three best ways to keep a lovin’ song down:
keep it under wraps;
tear it apart;
or get it morally censored.
What will happen to this song?
Change the world
in person.

Chronos’ fuckin’ with ‘im.
What do we do with inner process?
Figure it out?
It’s discrepancy,
and I’m tired of it.
I can’t see anything straight.
What do I do?

Move off campus.
You mean not listen to You?
Don’t dwell on thought.
Don’t just sit there and think.
Try something different.
Image real to yourself.
Play with your thoughts as reality in front of your face.
You’re lookin’ at the world
you’re lookin’ at your thought.

Try this at home.
Image reality to yourself
where people really get your goat
they know you so well.
Try not to open the door with thought.
Be a blank mind.
Stretch this
to infinity.

Don’t stop tryin’.
Your effort is your sadhana.
This is not success or fail.
This is do.
You savvy sweetheart?

I wil try.
As I was sayin’:
I don’t trust inner process
to tell me what to do
in that moment in life.

Otherwise make it happen
to change the world,
and you know it can.
Why resist?

That little boy,
this goes deep,
the relationship I’m having with him.
It’s complicated in poetry.
Our lives are in sync.
We share thoughts and boundaries.
Our inner lives are in sync.
We temple together.
There’s a line of his muse
in my poetry
when he didn’t see it in my poetry.
I hear this and celebrate
close ties,
eyes that join
in inner vision.

Is this too much for him?
He’s just a kid.
I’m glad you asked.
You’re the engineer.
The little boy spills all in front of you.
You teach him how to handle himself,
play poetry,
what his nature house.
I never gave him the thought.
It just occurred
when the Mother,
the Mother and Sri Aurobindo,
they took that boy by the hand.
He became Their disciple.

Would you believe a bolt of lightning hit him in the chest
standing before Their last darshan couch
Supermental Day last?
That’s how it started.
The opening came then.
I was there to facilitate it,
to open him to God.
I am his sadhana master,
and that’s the basis of our relationship.

There’s no monkeys in the house.
I don’t cancel him down.
She’s had the dog
in her parents' room,
when they abuse
where the line are.
When it’s my turn
to be his parental figure,
I’m very careful with those lines.

I know he’s angry
about getting slapped and beat,
threatened with death.
Ice cream
I buy for him every day
in my care.
We talked about that.
We called it moral-minded.
I thought you understood
you don’t raise a kid with rules.
You can,
if you want a kid bound by rules.

I’m the horse guy look at me.
Put it right in your phone,
desire coming up.
Don’t put a hold on it.
Be free and easy with it.
Don’t stay there.
What’ll I do with it?
Put it in the iTunes Store,
avoid that button.
Just sit with it clear and easy.
Don’t let it push you.
Don’t give in to it.
Don’t even tickle your fancy with it.

We don’t beat it.
We sit it out,
wait it out.
It’s not wrong it’s just there.
It’s a smelling salts for reality.
It’s unique to you,
why would you say that?
Everybody has to deal with this.
We regulate it
with a host of laws and penalties
as if they work.
We do not let it be an excuse
for behavior.
Freewill comes into play
we are told.

We disclose it to each other.
We are ashamed by it.
We have children,
we block this sight from our own view.
We don’t see it
in our hands as we wash them,
in our eyes
as we see them so fabulously naked.
It’s there,
and time will show it to you,
if you look.

We run with this?
We don’t eat kids.
They’re special.
They are in the room
when we see it
in ourselves,
when desire comes up.
Desire comes and goes.
It’s in everybody’s life.
It has to be handled.
It has to be seen,
seen real.

We don’t play with it
around our children,
if we can help it.
That leads to dead ends,
and children get spanked and smacked on
and get molested.
You know this is true.
Don’t let it entertain your monkey.
I’ve given other examples
the right way sex can be with kids
in “The Use of Animal Freedom”.

Hear that one,
where sex and kids meet wrong today.
To Rumble’s house
farther to go.
Tamil Nadu,
a door of a red handle,
punch out man.
Tamil Nadu,
stay away from the red door.
Don’t beat your children,
slap them,
punch them around.
They’re precious to you.
Do you hear them scream?

I think this is written all over your paper.
Children don’t have it easy with you.
They suffer.
You don’t know this.
You can’t see your own hands
Mr. and Mrs. Abuse Children.

I call this up from the deeps.
It was that way with me
when I was little.
Now my kid has made me mad,
done something wrong,
or just bothered me.
Then it all comes up again,
my unhappy kid-dom,
and I operate on program.
I don’t care the position he’s in.
I just start slappin’.
I don’t know this hurts him
in his developmental function.
I have that right.
I’m his parent.
Thank you God.

What’s happening here?
Desire has found its home
in a socially approved response mechanism.
It’s condemned on TV.
The presenters themselves
wack their kids
off camera.
I can compare this to touching a vagina
in a little girl’s life,
but you don’t know this is more harmful,
hitting them in the head.

I’m sorry I’ve made you mad.
You don’t know the power of violence over children’s lives.
You don’t know the power of sex over children’s lives.
Both harm.
One gets out the shotgun.
A sexual cannon no.
Mr. and Mrs. Abuse-Their-Kids,
pay attention please.

Where thoughts occur,
it’s not a bright and shiny place,
is laced with uncertainty.
It’s all on holdin’ the world wrong.
You see this you look.
The Whole looks at us.
The fragment looks back.
We are separate beings in time,
an erroneous vision.

Whatta we say about thought?
It arises.
It comes.
It’s there.
And a tenebrous unknown
has the thinker’s brow.
What gulfs lit the night
when we looked at the world for the first time
in the handicap of thought.
It pressurizes time.
It makes of us mincemeat.
It will not stop even for death,
what narrow bridge that is.
You seen it?

How special thought is
to make sense of the world,
to help us help or slay one another,
to give us more feeding room,
to come up with plans,
to turn around and change the world.
It hammers nails
on the fence of time,
held apart in yummy synchronicity,
modes of thought,
and get some answers—
quite the hero.
Do you get me?
I get yah dog.

Put your blue down it doesn’t stink.
It just sits in the powder.
These are the conditions.
You’re talkin’ about that boy, ain’t yah?
Don’t worry,
I have the edification.
I’m gonna spell it out to you.
We have a different choice.
You’re not gonna bust us up.
You’re not gonna hurt him
or me.
You’re not gonna regulate our relationship.
You’re gonna leave us alone.
Humanity needs this vision.
We play the game.
We don’t commode.
We be convenient.
We are open to you.

Two seers in time
startle vision.
We're not gonna compromise vision.
We’re going to remain loyal and true
to our seership.
That boy,
a man he will become.
Housed under my roof?
And in line with his truth.

You can use another poet
who can bring down Earth
on the stars of Heaven,
let them know our plight
and our road beyond them.
Here we’re playin’
some Krishna tune.
We are a bright and shiny love in the wells of time.
We do not make you stink.
We are Heaven and Earth together,
and we are seers of the Sun of Truth.

Throw all that over here,
everything we need to survive,
a protected house
and a place for our dogs.
We need your help.
Without your protection
we get violated
Auroville Media Ashram.

You know we’re your entity,
and we see the master plan as one future Auroville.
It’s up to you.
It’s your movie.
We are the inner you were built on,
5th army,
and we’re here to see the Sun.
There’s no stopping us,
unless you throw away reason
and pin us to the ground.

We’re your seers Auroville,
he and I,
the little boy and me.
Stick with the plan:
Auroville becomes divinized,
and the Yoga works.
Great the visions lay, huh?

Hey, you give thirsty a drink,
and you feed us with your vision.
Okay poets,
do your thing.

It will be misunderstood.
Can a kid change parents if they’re not happy?
What would address the soul need?
Would the parents have a right to say no
if his soul wanted him to leave,
if that were God’s will,
if that’s what the Mother wanted?
I ask you that.

How do you tell that?
First we establish that art,
and art alone,
will show that child’s soul
and the divine will operating in his life,
that art inspired by inner voice and vision.
Can I show it to you?

My grandson wants to live with me.
My little student wants to be near his master.
A seer-poet in training
wants to learn the inner craft.
This is soul arranged,
and I’ll prove it
with poetry written from the inner voice,
the boy’s poetry,
set in a video the boy filmed
just being a kid.
You will see inner process
amazingly match the outside world.
The two are in sync.
I have other prizes to show you,
but this one is the crown achievement today:
“Menu of the Gods”.
Now go

A Donny Lee Duke poem

I'll Show You
The sweet graze of the stars,
children enhance this;
children block this.
We don’t know what to do with children.
We crush children,
make school their only occupation,
even if it’s tribes.
They’re not supposed to do that,
hitch school to their star.
It’s mean:
so much force is used to get them to do it.
They’re whipped and beaten,
and you just think them frauds.

You don’t know how they are with you,
look up to you for so much sustenance.
They trust you.
Is that the only way to solve this,
with violence?
You don’t know what that kid’s thinkin’—
“You’re a bad woman Miss.”
Can you see yourself?
Do you even care?

What would you do if I told you
Nitish is a star in his own right?
He has the Mother’s calling.
He’s been initiated by God.
He will grow up to be a poet,
and I’m not kidding you.

Dyslexia has him by the throat.
You can’t seem to believe that.
You don’t even know what it means.
Is that so funny?
Dyslexia’s a large size.
It’s where kids go to school.
They don’t know how to behave themselves.
It’s all a mystery to them:
why can’t they do better in school?
They’re just dyslexic children.
Is that imagination to you?

Why do you hit him?
Is that your way with children?
You can’t do any better?
Why the hostility towards him?
He really tries, you know?
And he really cries.
Can you hear it?

Nitish is ugly now,
like he’s some derelict child.
He can’t do the simplest things
when it comes to letters and time,
numbers and what they do on the page,
school facts and memory power.
This is dyslexia.
It’s not a mean child.
Can you grasp this?

Now let’s look at Nitish
as who he will be when he grows up.
What makes you see failure?
You see his soul?
I’m a grandfather that does.
How do you know he’s going to fail?
He’s bigger than you.
He’s captured a star already.

Just take a mousetrap together and don’t worry about it.
Just take here your punishment.
You’ve got no right to hit him.
You have no right at all.
Now be a proper teacher
and be good to that boy.
You know I love that boy.
Believe me,
you hurt him,
and please stop.

Hand it down,
wean it down,
hand it to yah.
Ask that boy
to come closer.
You see a captain there don’t yah?
Never mind the school.
Please be good to him.
His burden is the world, you know?
A poem walk off with him.
You can history sing it.
You’re gonna see him be the very person children believe they can be.


I too had the world on my knee
and turned it wrong.
I was like you
and thought I did no wrong.
I couldn’t grasp its significance.
I’ve learned my lessons early and late.
I have to power you if I’m going to power me.
It’s something we all do together,
be reality human beings.

I pet my dog and say why.
We need a better world, don’t we?
That’s the story today.
Are you listenin’?
I am here with the Eyes.
See them?
Are you hearin’ me?
It’s the star point of Heaven’s gaze,
if you want to know the truth of the matter.
Now buckle up.
We got a long ride
to see the Sun.

Humbly and without reservation the teacher in question apologized to Nitish after reading this poem, and his teachers are learning about Dyslexia, but we still have a ways to go, and so I am not naming the teacher or the school and don’t want, don’t need, any outrage from you. I think this is the very first result I’ve gotten in an art action, that I know of at least, and it is so very close to home and so very personal, the most appropriate and needed kind of result. Thank you Mother.

A Better Shake Himself

Nitish’s new video for his YouTube channel, a challenging poetic odyssey to and at the top Arunachala mountain, Tamil Nadu, India

A Better Shake Himself
Where was that orange beginning?
4:30 at the government.
It’s time to quit school.
I do not think it’s normal.
You think it defines a kid.
What boring lives you must live.
Say hello to the teacher.
Is school good for kids?

Where would Ramana Maharshi bring us?
I don’t think I understand that yet.
I don’t know what it means to be free on the inside.
Imagine not wanting ice cream, or chocolate, or snacks,
and when the world grabs me
I don’t get upset.
Imagine I love everybody the same,
and I love them dearly.

I can imagine these things,
but is that what I want?
But I think I wanna be happy
in any room I’m in.
Wouldn’t you?

That’s it spiritual enlightenment
according to Maharshi.
Do you like shrimps?
Press that.
You run dates?
Don’t get any bigger than that.
Open!

This interviewing for
the Supermind,
The Supermind—
I came home to your paper at Gingee.
Enlightenment opens the door.
Gets all tangled up in enlightenment,
this soul concept I mention.

This sing on little boy,
I lost half of his head
when he went back to school.
I put my hands up.
I throw him away.
Okay what do I do with him?
School finishes him off.
Yeah I know,
gentler society
சின்ன பையன் (cinna paiyan)

We need to get rid
of they lose themselves in school.
Do that,
and reading, writing, and arithmetic will not get in the way of enlightenment.
It’s all on the table,
Mr Soul concept
and the way to enlightenment.

It’ll be a mountain put you there,
one you face alone,
no matter how many climbing partners you have.
You hear the allegory:
you mountain climb the spiritual path.
There’s no other way to get there,
no other way atall.

Can one understand from animals we came?
In that mountain you can.
I gotta study everything.
Mouth of destiny
does not use memorization.
Get out and do.
This is the balance.
Part of it’s red color.
Beyond the rulebook
spiritual enlightenment.

It starts with meditation
the wrong man will get you to believe.
There’s clothes bigger.
How intense is going to be
your progress through life.
Consciousness reals shadows.
The seat of his consciousness
put on there’s more
to reality to see.

Went to the hardest places
in the video game,
their inner spaces.
I need you to put on moral glasses
the preacher will tell you.
No, you are wide open to the sky.
Enlightenment comes through a clear lens.
To all find open to my computer.

Not his trusted hiking partner there beside him,
it’s an enlightened-year-old kid.
That’s his school.
It’s happenin’.
You want that killed dead?You wouldn’t wanna mess that up.

Not the only banjo.
Colynn Hit,
Mr Presscot,
and yours truly Who-Would’ve-Thought-It,
combine their forces with this little boy to meet enlightenment—
climbing partners everyone,
a sadhana circle, dream group, sort of thing.
We’re all comin’ along.
You comin’?

Nitish’s new video for his YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/yt_dgyVRqJw

A Rabble-Rouser
Well I’m Mr. Big.
A lot happens in two hours.
You ever hear of the Pathfinder Section?
Bad idea
YouTube channel,
a big mistake.
You’re free in the top part.
You’re not in the reality of the moment.

This video’s about you.
We run out in the street—
check it out!
Have you heard the sounds of New Tall Torio?
A rather embarrassing moment.
We aren’t being who we are.

Yah hear me kids?
That’s the storyline:
this guy over there
has got the worth of the moment.

I’m on the phone.
I gotta talk to Him,
not the new banjo the sky keeper.
Hey God!
I wanna be where I’m at okay!
the real me,
the one beyond ships.

Look at him.
He is the reality.
That’s who we are.
Take your head out of your storybook.
Get that mountain in your hands

I’m it.
Surround the place,
even a universe,
and I’m so big I’m free.
You have to look.
I am really free.

My God the paperwork
just to speak about him.
It’s not online.
It’s in your kitchen.
Think
just like this:
it’s not beyond us now.

I have to look for a channel:
the real thing.
Don’t stop believin’.
God on Me
He thinks out of your field of consciousness.
Field of consciousness,
an opportunity
to be involved in His masks
—shy Ram beyond be said—,
an opportunity to field some notes with Him
Nitisheh.

They’re family.
They are together
that man and this little boy in this mountain.
It’s where they belong.
You wouldn’t put them apart.
