I got soul,
a flare,
when the authorities are so big.
We have dark roots.
We’re not gonna terrorize anybody.
This is the poem that tell you where it’s at,
the soul we find in the machine.
Can you stomach this long road?
Reach for middle ground,
and no soul will show for you.
Life isn’t easy on my mark, get set,
and my personal arraignment will show you the hallway
and the entrance room.
Exploding tigers, eh?
Exploding entranceways.
Exploding tests.
Your soul returns in a blissful way. [sing line]
I can’t find my wife.
I can’t help it.
I’m just get lost in things.
What’s the status on my boy?
He tries to finish.
One second,
make me some time.
I will operate on my parents.
I will come right straight to you.
This is Dylan.
You look like Jesus.
What are you reading?
I will be right there growin’ up.
I will give you forms and things,
all your books.
No one pets me.
I would love to guard against that.
The evolution of a single day,
we minimize it,
blocked by life’s stuff.
We can’t see the carton in the room
we hold evolutionary purpose.
We split in two,
just bang our heads against the wall,
grab society by the horns
and be pulled apart by it.
We are pulled apart by society,
so many tin cans in the room.
How do we detach from all this stuff?
Bring society into the room
keepin’ your knees in it,
and you’re just gonna get lost in it.
I have an opera beyond society,
behind every little thing in the world.
It’s where I eat lunch.
You hear it in these stanzas.
Okay I’ve got a grow room,
and the entanglements abide.
You hear it every day.
I’ve got a little boy named Nithish
taken from me,
and I complain about my poetry:
reader get me more.
And I’m worried about my dogs dyin’,
the lack of respect I get from my landlord,
and the soup I had lunch with yesterday.
These are entanglements.
Auroville doesn’t need me, does it?
And no one in Auroville
will give me a sticker
and put my name on their greeting card,
at all.
I remain isolated,
and they publish my poem every week
in their newspaper.
I write poems there too.
The yoga will not even give me the time of day,
the yoga of human unity
and life on earth
growin’ oneness wings.
Okay what is soul purpose?
Can an entanglement say that?
I’m watchin’ evolution here.
It’s sees me,
but I think it’s turned the other way.
I’m bummed out about my entanglement.
These are vital moods
the life force carries
all day long.
I can’t get rid of ‘em.
It’s a spell from places deep.
Alright there’s a chester drawer,
also from places deep.
It’s the soul in the room,
behind and apart from everything.
Yes, yes sing to Auroville today
a guiding light,
write poems to the yoga,
and hold that boy when I tell yah to,
and let go of your status among men.
I’m the soul detach worth,
and I’ve got mountains of soul change ahead.
You hear that music now.
It’s a blister on Easter.
It’s hard to come about.
It’s the soul detach on things,
and you hear it now,
and it feels good, doesn’t it?
How do you cultivate this nigger?
By puttin’ soul change ahead,
recognizin’ your time of sleep
guides towards that
when you wake up from dream.
Don’t just stay in your room.
Have you ever put your thoughts in another
as they walk by?
What thoughts are they havin’?
And you’re tryin’ to wear their skin.
You feel them there.
And pick out some sore spot upon the Earth,
and put your consciousness there
like you can’t get bread too,
and your children are dyin’,
and you feel this with your tears.
Can you get there?
You’re openin’ up soul in the room,
and you keep doin’ it with everyone you meet,
especially those close to you,
and this is an inner job.
They just know you’re sweet and kind
and tryin’ to figure them out.
You keep your hand on that lever,
everybody
won’t even know you’re doin’ it.
You know how selfish people are.
I don’t know if there are any returns on this.
I haven’t gotten any yet.
People don’t see it.
They see themselves,
and you’re givin’ them what they’re worth.
That’s hard.
Entanglement number four,
fuck you.
Are we all here a hero’s worth?
I think not.
We’re just involved with ourselves,
and we sum it up for loved ones,
satellite I’s
of our solar star.
The soul change
gets us to see our room
differently.
It’s a battleground in there
to separate the wheat from the chaff,
and you don’t let no one down.
You learn what’s expensive in your room
and costs you your evolution,
what’s expensive in there
to hold you up every time.
Can you see this notion?
It’s a soul room,
where peace on earth comes from
in the larger sphere.
Can you gauge this?
I’ve just given yah a formula for world change,
and all you that know how,
will you dance with me?
It’s a formula you give your room
that opens up the world to us.
It doesn’t come in a tin can.
Is that so hard to believe?
You try to wear their skin
thought today.
Open the door.
You try to wear their thought today.
Takin’ a bath
belly up
while we ride that tone,
we really reach in our heads and get it done,
findin’ the light in everybody
and brinin’ evolution to the forefront
detachin’ ourselves from all these cares
gettin’ to the soul need of each one
and bein’ big there.
¿Comprende?
Making’ the soul of sacrifice,
can you pull a soul play in that room?
It’s a shame you brought your brush,
charmin’ hair Nithish.
He’s not a pumpkin no more
cause he’s got the credit card
to bring you in lean with him,
and he can’t say your name right.
A child forgets his toys
if they get lost,
and should he perchance see you,
they kid cashes in
taking advantage,
and you’re left swingin’
on a short rope.
It’s okay he loves you.
Just get away from him in thought
and wrappin’ around him all the time.
Let the soul take over.
No problem connecting him to you
there’s a soul range ahead.
Capisce?
To the soul on earth need help,
and you see the need,
and you parachute in.
I’m not tellin’ you to leave him alone.
All's worth on him and he needs to see yours,
before you run out of windows for him.
A moment in my futile pen
all's say.
No one holds the true purpose of mankind.
One major
soul note I have given you
at my own expense,
and now I have to live with this.
They had a nice chair there buddy.
Learn to look though.
Take pictures of him again
it’s bright and shiny future
says Earth must do.
I did yet the big big pen to help me find him.
It’s just my name’s not on his notebook anymore,
and what can you do with that?
What’s that music?
He really felt it,
and he really
wanted our hope back.
I’ve got a lot of folding chairs here,
and they’re supposed to sit in ‘em,
like in 24 hours,
on a moment’s notice.
I grab my dick and double click,
and no one comes along
(I’m murderin’ my pen),
except a thoughtful read
of you my good friend
right now.
Oh gosh gee I’m sorry,
I can’t pull it out,
the poem that says it all,
and you do see me tryin’.
You are the world to me.
Oh, sing with me, sing for the year.
Sing for the laughter, and sing for the tear.
[sing two above lines turn of “Dream On”]
The slightest word crowd,
you can really show the writing on the wall.
A few minutes ago you had us to the tune of “Dream On”.
If it doesn’t work out for you,
dream on,
but we don't doubt that boy
woke up.

A Penny for Your Thoughts

We have everything to do
with being creatures on a role planet.
Our time in space
blackens our time in thought.
I promote myself
spits in the wind.
Art and thought,
I wonder if you feel anything
derelict.
I’ve perished this bloom.
Since everybody’s here,
except any majority of people,
I might as well clear my throat.
What do I hog to you today?
I wanna pull existence out of the hat,
be right on the ground of being.
I want you to say, "that’s me."
I put it in flower pots.
I sit here all day and fight it,
our anonymous with each other.
This is stadium big.
We are all points in space
too big for our britches.
We see ourselves huge in other’s eyes.
I’m talkin’ about ourselves.
We feel and think and be
the center of any room,
so big to ourselves,
and even if we are not the reason everybody’s there,
we see reality that way.

Take us off the megalomania lists.
I’m just talkin’ what it means to be human,
or the dog in the corner,
or the ant in the windowsill,
and you know that plant think?
It’s just not corralled its self-aware.
It just does not pedal to the end of the room.
Those thoughts aren’t in motion,
but you’ve got a plant big there,
everybody in the room.
How do I toll the star-gate?
We are stuck on one world
in our rounds of thought.
We cramp existence here.
Oh my God the experiment,
would it be the same in every laboratory?
Can we count existence a cheat?
Does it handicap worlds,
universes,
or does it just stage things properly?

Do you know you’re blind, deaf, and dumb
to what you see on the inside
of the person sitting next to you,
or leaving a comment,
or submitting a poem,
or who’ve you’ve encountered on the news?
Their inner reality is blind to yours.
We have bleeding cakes
in dream and vision
and in our thought wares unawares,
but these things are disguised.
You can’t hear another person
fill reality’s room.
You only hear yourself.
Hey Jim,
let’s create a world…
Screw this.
You handicappers.
Can I explain the problems in the world?

Taste another person please.
Know they’re there
as big as you,
and if they think they’re bigger, well,
how many times does this happen
in any given day?
We have to mitigate it.
They’re just stupid that’s all,
like we all are.
I’m sorry you’re stupid too.
Do you treat everybody as you,
give them a break,
the benefit of the doubt,
or forgive them their trespasses?
You will have a million excuses
why you can’t identify with them.

Come on people please.
You’re the center of everybody’s pole,
as you imagine them looking at you,
but they put themselves there, you know?
We can get better at it,
givin’ people the credit they deserve,
givin’ people their own self
in our very own eyes.
Who’s humanity in the room?
Can a poet speak that voice?
Can we ride poetry there?
The productivity’s there
be a hurt bag
and find humanity.
And watch everybody spill the beans.
I am so very blacklisted,
I could rise to the occasion
and blossom humanity in my heart
and write it down in gifted speech,
and they would just turn and look the other way,
the stadium managers in humanity,
who’s who who block poems.
Now do you hear me
blossom humanity?
Now do you hear me blossom poems?

A bridge is the universe.
We are reality big.
It’s a major crossing.
Focus on the many aspects of this visual poem
heard while doing science.
In a round about way put it on your shoulder
I’m your friend.
It’s been a lot of Scottish in here.
I’ve done a daily
put people in the shoes with me.
He put the swim in there.
I am the render in time,
the render in space,
that’s the One I’m worth.
That farm,
that house is play,
here’s where you too,
not the separate consciousness
but the localized in space,
God of the whole evolves.
That’s the cherry blossom.
That’s where we all rise in sync.
I’m an American band I’m comin’ through your town, [sing line]
this is exactly what
the stadium room,
that cherry bloom.

A Shoulder in Immensity

I wanted to die.
Everybody knows how to die.
Sufferin’ from panic disorder
my only friend.
I have no comfort in anyone,
and this woe is me will not say it properly.
I cannot believe
I have no worth to anyone.
I’m just a field of crap,
and I have seen God’s eyes,
feel the world’s pain like my own.
I sit in a height of thought
where almost no footing is.
I’ve taken you there
in our thought realms unawares.
The All-Negating Absolute has me by the throat,
and even God is buried in immensity.
I cannot discover God one last time
as who we need in immensity.
3:33,
28-years-old,
I can’t give God the proper numbers.
He is too right and wrong.
Mexican,
He took my pants off and raped me at seven.
It hurt too much to tell anybody.
I was cleaved.
Why am I telling you this?
Afraid to tell anybody,
I put back action
comin’ up in the rear.
Squealin’ inside me,
they crossed death too
a courier
of the same disease,
those little tummies.
I can’t give you molten lava
and expect you to cherish me.
I can’t even say my name.
I’m a brick in a wall
that you don’t identify with,
bricks in the same wall.
Up here,
I’m a way
to photography that wall,
to hold it out open to daylight.
I’m a measure of that peace,
but you can’t come to terms with me.
I’ve sinned to much for God cares,
or I remind you of sin.
I’m an enigma with an open door.
God the carnage at Troy,
sit back everybody
and tell me what hero came home.
The canonical field of Troy.
Do it again,
I stand before you now.
Will you hear me?
We swim in oceans of blood.
Don’t underestimate
life.
There’s a moment
before you
when you can give it to the challenge
it tasks a man with,
and he must stand alone in immensity
and be the voice no one wants to hear
turning every ear on
to a future in ideas
that will save us all
come that future,
whether I’m the voice that says them or not.
See me today
sittin' with you holdin’ your hand
likewise tell me
the world has turned its back to you too.
A pencil in agony,
it’s too early to tell,
and I’m a measure of that immensity.
So brothers and sisters,
I’d help you.
Those tummies are in good hands.
You cannot electrify them like that,
put them on lurch
little boys and little girls.
A needle in a haystack
give you a tap.
Raise Supermind,
I’d be one in the world.
Get ‘im a chair
to latch from our very disease
and bring us all to peace.
You know how it works:
no ignoring you
world enigma.
My OMs are here.
My front door’s open.
Enjoy a body of ideas.
Do it again,
I’m really intercepting your thought.
A Great Big Feelings Test
This is a photo-poem from my Twitter/X account, and there are years of them there. This one was posted December 11, 2020. It came in vision the other night to post it here.
The Gravities of Thin Earth
This poem has been published by Edge of Humanity Magazine: https://edgeofhumanity.com/2024/11/11/the-gravities-of-thin-earth/, and it’s been reblogged on The Skeptic’s Kaddish https://skepticskaddish.com/2025/01/05/reblog-the-gravities-of-thin-earth-by-donny-lee-duke/
I’m on the edge of time.
I stand here and sing.
I’m not about the braggart of time.
I hold my voices down.
I’m all the way down
where you know me
invisible.
I did not carry this to my car.
I banished it.
I operated on you right where it hurt.
I hit you in your social glasses.
I tried to be free.
For all the noise I made a scarlet letter came down
and banished me,
but it’s not there
where I pet my dogs
and clean my house
and cook for my best friend caring for him.
I greet people like they’re the node of the day.
I want them to know they are big in my eyes,
just to help them ease the day
to a better feeling for them.
I hold knowledge in my hand,
but I cannot shake their hand with it.
It’s an alien spaceship,
fairies in the wood.
It’s who they are beyond time,
and it is what I can see ails them.
I turn the page
and spew this out on a page to you,
dear reader,
where audience is as big a mystery as God.
Do you hear me?
I see where the world’s going and how it ends,
edging universes towards yah
how the impossibilities of the one fulfill the other.
Look at our goat today,
but look at our supernal skies.
I’ve painted myself wood
of a lone seer in time.
Silly me I bark too,
and I cry for myself
in moments of abandoned self-love.
I hold in my hand
the wrong sort of type,
the wrong font for you to see reason,
because it is way out your door.
Can you gauge me?
I’m in your toilet bowl.
I’m in your lunch pail,
and I’m around your cookery at night.
I get in bed with your children,
and I’m in the love of your dogs.
I take your glasses off to see society,
and I break you down to see your soul.
I’m a view of the vision of God,
and I’m this little man next door.
Hear me climb to the skies
a poem rider,
a poet mile,
and I’ll get you one day,
to get you to say hello world it’s me,
and I love this poem.
Don’t you see?
This poem also was declined by the private Facebook group Auroville International, and neither their admin nor anyone else from their organization will yet speak to me.
To Heal Holocaust
The Banality of Evil,
We’re Watchin’ a Different Movie
This is grand cinema.
You’re left wonderin’ over its price.
Are you opened to that puppy?
Just to the pain it caused.
Just to its wherewith with evil.
We need more from cinema,
powerfully done.
I’m the long ride.
I’ll get you there
on sudden bleeds:
you will identify with the snake,
or your heart pounding no.
I heal awhile.
Listen to me.
To Heal Holocaust
Heal God.
Boy God has done some bad shit,
if we count Him responsible for everything,
if we say He’s the doer here.
How do we get round this table?
And now the poem starts.
Let’s write it.
You must know into the most horrible places.
I’ve climbed down there
and got burned.
I can identify with the snake.
I’ve opened Holocaust doors
by beer-bottlin’ a boy.
He cried
and then got tough.
I hit him again and again
with that beer yard,
two or three boys.
It didn’t make me throw up.
I took pleasure from their pain.
The control I had,
I was in their control room and I knew it.
Their weakness turned me on,
their vulnerability.
I liked it.
This is a Holocaust memorial.
It’s not me writin’ on myself.
I showin’ where it came from,
that and a knife blade.
These smites
transform into big smites,
transform into Holocaust.
I'm helpin' you some.
I’m going ludicrous.
I’m just stupid sayin’ this.
Let’s change poems.
What do you feel when you hurt people,
your power over them?
No you feel your delight
that it’s not you.
We’re explorin’ some.
It’s a probe.
Not every formula has got this written on it,
but somethin’ happened to you,
when you could not fight back,
too little to do anything about it.
It scarred you.
Now you’re investigatin’ that reality,
and it’s your hands cause pain,
your thrust of life.
This is not healin’ you’re doin’.
You just keep doin’ it,
a wack in reality that repeats itself,
with your hands.
What do you do to stop?
I can’t get yah there.
It’s too wide open.
Jeffery Dahmer pulled the plug.
Then he started killin’ again.
You didn’t know he suffered.
You didn’t know
he didn’t turn that down,
his longness in the inner cycle.
Where do we go for change?
Wrapped up in an investigation of yourself,
you open the inner doors.
Really watch yourself in dream.
The plug will come up.
You’ll eventually pull it
the right way.
You just keep erasin’ mood,
that spell that comes over yah
when you’re around water,
when you’re at that place you can do it.
This is your fault line,
and it’s inner sprung.
You’ve got to get ahold of your behavior,
on the inside where it starts.
This ain’t hard/this is not easy.
[two above phrases heard spoken simultaneously]
You’ll see how it’s done
in your visual immune system.
Message,
it will message you.
It gives a little chance
for you to aim behavior rightly.
You’ve got to get ahold of the bull.
You’ve got to grab it by the horns.
I took years here,
in Holocaust denial.
It’s when you begin to see it it’s the hardest.
You can’t close the curtains,
even when you do it.
You can touch it
and move it around.
You’re puttin’ light down there.
This is not about feeling guilty.
This is about recognizing pain.
What is true remorse?
You feel pain buddy,
making other people suffer,
but you’re still not in the geography bowl.
Look on these two:
the ordination of love,
and the realizing of oneness.
How deep you have to go to get there,
how much time pass.
This is integral healing.
I know someone
that can’t even rise a fantasy.
The light got down there.
You feel the vulnerability of the other,
and you just want to hold them in your arms safe.
You can believe you did that.
You can see yourself doin’ it,
not playin’ it in your mind,
I mean it had sergeant over you before,
but you’re at peace with it,
and you put it out of your room.
We have no laws for this.
We’re not ready to find it.
There are too many of us
to make it safe.
It’s good for the environment.
I wasn’t so bad
I chained people.
I was a love roll.
I know you don’t understand this.
The assurities of Adolf Hitler,
that was absurd,
and afterwards so complex.
It was positively brilliant.
Wow, you said brilliant.
We would eat lunch there.
I’m not bragging it.
I’m not starring it.
Nobody has a secret weapon
to find change
in these dark waters.
I’m putting a healing light to it,
using my own brand.
You don’t know the fashion of evil.
You think it comes from us.
Its dark nature rises
from the Abyss.
There are creatures there
on a beanpole,
with tremendous might,
that invade our dreams
and conscious minds,
and tell our hearts to do things.
They are compulsion’s will,
and they are smarter than us.
Oh my God they’re there,
right in our room,
pushing us to fall.
What do you do with that?
Where do you put it?
They don’t give up,
and we have to put up with them,
on our world endeavor.
That’s not fair.
It’s not even funny.
It’s a stark reality
we have to live with.
So when you’re coming out of darkness,
you’re confronting these,
the Snake in your room.
Oh my God they are blind,
the ones who hate you
for the evil you have done.
They’re just self-righteous idiots,
and they will see when this is done,
when their life’s over,
the complexities of fate,
the manage devils in your room,
the horrible nature of reality
in its bottom lair.
We have to contend with this
to overcome fate.
We cannot escape it.
I’ve mentioned the ballgame,
what we’re really here for,
to change our nature
into God dwellers,
to spiritualize, divinize, Nature.
I’ve pulled the rank card,
and you are blind to this.
It’s too big.
It’s the science of changing your nature,
and your own process will see
that glory immune system,
the one I talk in visions and dreams,
the one I talk now.
It holds your hand here,
and now we are complete:
God heals.
