The Valley of the Lord

Photo by Douglas
Master of a small craft,
we inland seas.
Our body is our Temple Mount,
and we plus it with reality.
We put it there to show.
How expertly we ride that thing.
We got it down.
It knows us,
bruises to our failings,
and it won’t shut up,
if we simply tell it to shut up.
What’s goin’ on?

Is Spirit realm available? [This line Nithish’s muse, who’s laying beside me listening too]
Why are we so tight in there?
Why can’t we express ourselves?
Well, this poem is about thank you.
It works so well,
and the browser still with the Lord.
I think I’ve got your attention.

Not to the world,
not to the process of the world,
have I threatened a place among them,
pedophiles of the world
who molest children.

Have this money in the bank:
notes on put them in evenings,
the body’s troubles to put on its craft for the day.
We cater to it.
We don’t meet its needs.
We stand around and tell it
it don’t meet our needs.
We are heavily damaged by it.
I can’t do this.
It’s in pain.

I hardly doubt that.
You are not that.
You are here to show you be had.
The body is its own big business.
It grasps us you see,
spends us on its movements,
makes us do its call.
We can get around this.
We can learn ourselves,
have the body an ocean that expresses our Spirit.
We don’t let it rule us,
but we meet it on its boards
in proper time,
and is our heating
that causes death?
I’ll hear you later.

How do we spend it rightly?
If you notice the whole damn world’s doin’ it:
ah, and it’s president of you are safe.
You were sleazy.
You reach up and home lice.
I talked to a talk show host.
He’s when you fail.

And you think you’ve completed your list?
The Lord figures you know nothing of dogs, field, and snow—
infinancy.
You knew why I was asking.
You wanna know just like they are.
The body’s its own mechanism.
It has a lord sheep.
It calls its own name.
It can’t figure out itself,
but it’s wonderfully aligned
with the principle of its keep,
and that is an ocean of soul.

It can climb mountains,
earn God in every way.
It can be aligned with the stars
and become a God-moon.
It can harbor divinity
and last hundreds of years.
It’s evolving into this type
the human body.
Even now there are whispers on its tops
of this great change,
and it can listen down below
to an exceed itself.

We put it on today
unawares of its capacity,
ignorant of its morn,
and we don’t know its origin
and treat it like a deft machine.
It can cast awake
and throw illness from itself,
do away with pain,
and object to the roads of accident,
and deformity and defect
can be gotten rid of
when we learn the ways of seed
and follow the body’s own plan
to begin with.

We can stretch it long through the days
and make it hum and sing
and field variety.
It’s in our voice today.
We don’t know how to keep it there
so it becomes a living thing.
Certainly soup helps.
I’m welcome here—
exercise talking.
But do you know what?
It’s all in the head,
a directed attitude,
a determined faith,
a will applied pressure,
on the body’s substance,
on its lair,
its locations of control,
that brings us to this door.
Inside that door
is monumental change.

You don’t know the Blue Book,
and I’m helpin’ you along,
and I am very happy to.
I am one of them:
my manhood is Earth.
Humanity
this must be our star,
a delivery
to the very nature of Earth,
bear with me,
when we rise to Supermind,
in that distant of our days.
Glory to the world
the Lord has come. [This and preceding line heard sung by a choir, tune “Joy to the World”]
And matter reveals its hidden divinity.

Where do we find the door?
Where do we go from here?
Even in halls of self-control
we are cramped by the body.
It’s loud in there.
Where do we release it to itself,
and it answers nature rightly?
Can it joy to itself?
How high do I go
to land this in the body?
I’m just a moment’s sunlight.
Do I always forego pleasure
for your sake my Lord?
Is it always so dry?
Here we are in the well,
and enlightenment’s satisfaction has not reached us.
What do we do?

And it is here we must lift Earth.
Can you believe sacrifice?
It is transposed upon the world
and becomes the day.
One man’s sacrifice can still bring the dawn.
I can get no tighter than that.
I can hear no message clearer.
It’s where I am,
and it’s what you hear today.
We make our body safe.
We don’t harm the Earth with it,
and we don’t harm our little ones with it,
especially our little ones.
That dog has boy eyes don’t you see,
that cat little girl paws.
Oh my sweet blue Earth,
are you hearin’ me?
Oh my smilin’ green Earth,
listen please.

That’s the nature of reality,
we stay the way for our children.
We stay the way for love.
We go the distance,
and we go to God.
Did you hear me Israel?
Listen, I’m sure if you steal,
it will turn our rooms into a disaster area.
It will end up affecting us all.

Do You Hear Me Love?

No one has ever seen these kinds of dosas before.
They do your head in.
I don’t think anybody listens to them.
You know how you go with filter out
when there’s too much on the page.
How can anybody listen to the net?
Alright this is a mirage,
that’s all.
He gets behind,
really frustrated with his output.
No matter what he does nobody listens.
He’s really doing what we need to hear now.
He’s just cast aside
in his margins.

Lovin’ is the first terrain we build.
Comin’ upon you now,
everything we do to hear a voice.
It’s not happenin’, is it?
We can’t get loose.
We can’t even get seen.
You can be so lonely on social media.
We’ve asked the media companies
to chop us all to pieces.
We red line our material online.
“I like it,”
says someone in charge.
“It just doesn’t get out to the public.
Should it?”

Should the sun come up tomorrow?
Should everything be grand?
Should we see the truth?
I can’t holiday this.
It’s essential reading.
We have so many poems.
A nurse on earth
we come to you in glory-ride.
You only see the smile,
not the survival manual.
Tear this up, will yah?

You don’t know how to behave
when it comes to the equity of art.
You spit on it,
if it’s too early.
You don’t see its business
if that art goes all the way to God.
You think he’s preaching to you.
You’re atheist today.
We’re a religious my God only.
You don’t have room
for all-encompassing God.
You want some well-defined art
that doesn’t blow your mind.
You wanna sell it on eBay,
whenever you need the money.
I’m beyond your lists.
I’m not just about God.
I’m about your own divinity.
Who deals with that?
Can you see it?

It wouldn’t be how we’re hung today.
We’re on the survival of the fittest machine.
We can’t over ourselves.
There’s just too much art out there
to do the actual thing.
Is that your hypotenuse?
I’m square one
the art project.
Do you know what I’m sayin’?
You just know your own story,
and it’s so comfortable to talk about.
Listen to me.

Well I’m no gift-shark.
I have something good for you.
It’s well arranged,
like it’s stealin’ your heart.
It’s got love on it.
It will help you see the day
in terms of man,
the humanity we are.
You love those papers?
I can show you how.

We need to get down to this business of love.
The 60s just sung about it.
It was a nice tune,
but we couldn’t put society together with it.
We didn’t know how.
A product of the 60s,
I have the formula.
I laid my childhood there.
Why would it die away?
Of course it’s continued.
The 60s brought us somewhere.
Here it is,
the inevitability of love.

We know we all need it.
It’s what makes us glow.
It puts society right.
It is the reason we’re here,
to love.
You doubt that?
Go punch your dog.
Tell your child they’re a worthless human being.
Love is what makes the world go around,
in our certain with each other.
People needing people,
that’s the inevitability.
Barbra Streisand we will love them.
She was ahead of her time.
I hear her now
the love she gave us all softness from.
Now I’m past 30
I’ve got that under control.
I love for the sake of love you know.

I love to do it every time
I encounter you on set.
What a minute,
what do we do with the hateful people?
Somewhere along the line love has failed them.
Do you know what a half hour means?
Give them that in your love voice,
and they’ll come around,
where you go to
make an appointment
with the high fidelity of love.
It arranges things.
It knows how to treat people.
We all love it you see;
we are all taken by it,
when it’s directed at us.
We can’t help ourselves.
It’s love.

Come down to this moment.
It’s there in the room with us,
and it’s asking us to join it
in the emergency room.
Send it to me about three weeks before;
let the Devil take tomorrow—
somebody reading the Bhagavad Gita
and only understanding the text.
Found it for the first time
in forbidden love.
I thought it was to fulfill myself.
Then I fell in love
and saw what the other person meant.
I became a child molester no longer.
I loved
in the fullness of that vision,
the love of a child
in its true form.
I got bigger
than my wants and needs.
Love was all around me.
I basked in it,
and there is no reason to give it up.
I will change the world with it
in the legacy of poems.

Come with me now.
Let’s get love on the table
and bring this world around to itself.
I’ll give you the electricity.
You give me my voice.
That’s an equal plan.
Targets,
I’ll sing right straight to yah.
There’s somethin’ else.
Watch it.
Make sure you have permission to Rambo.
Right now women
are hyper-feeling about love.
That’ll be best to put
you’re threatened
to have the suggestion right now
of sex on the table.
It doesn’t do good there
in the love that lifts our kind.
Can you get the hatred of men off the table?
You hear what I’m sayin’?
Let’s get that extra-special love
that sees love as a vehicle of peace,
the right way we treat people,
the love we give free.
Are you with me?

An app to watch this grow,
that’s my likely puzzle.
We need to found the Earth.
It’s just been on our lists yet.
We arose and that was that.
Let’s get bigger than ourselves.
Let’s outweigh the Earth:
I love you brother,
and sister,
you mean so much to me.
We do this.
Yeah I’ve got some revealed,
and we’re there kind behind it.
Can we get that far?
That’s our mandate.

No sore spot on this Earth
will do without us.
You haven’t outlived your computer
until there are no sore spots on earth.
I’m the least complicated feathers
you bring everybody off.
Ready?
My flames have been lookin’ at it all the way you one time.
[above line heard sung, by a rock group like of the 60s]
You burn for this individual,
nation or people.
You burn the Earth for them,
not with a power cord
or a destruction module.
You torch the Earth low
I told you the numbers.
You burn for them with love.
Include the pack,
it’ll be today
the Palestinians get our love.
Do it now.

Do it there,
and stop killin’ everybody.
For the sake of Gaza,
open your arms.
We’re with the Palestinians.
Give to them here,
Dr. Handshake,
in the evaluation of the poem.
We don’t bleed with Palestinians.
We stand with them in love,
with the Palestinians today.
Let’s chose war
of no violence.
We blanket them with love,
and we do that before they die.

What’s happening?
You met on social media.
Who turned out to hear?
A trail of my own two cities,
if you ever want a home in the field.
I love the Israeli people too.
And all the people were mad at me for what I’d done.
The Israelis the heavy hand,
all the solvin’ or even history,
well theirs won’t even hold
the Palestinians as people.
I’m here to see that.

I don’t know where we get off.
I compound a poem.
I’ve become a political speaker,
applyin’ love today.
Will you cancel out my poem that way?
Barbra Streisand do you hear me?
We need to love these people too.
That’s all I’m sayin’.
In the history of genocide,
we wouldn’t only look to Jews.
I’m defendin’ them.
No not actions, people.
I’ve seen it on TV
all my life,
airplanes blown up,
a lot of innocent people slaughtered,
because Palestinians were trying to get Israel
to unhook their humanity.

How do you end this war?
Israelis have to love Jews.
Israelis have to only love Jews.
Wow we’ve arrived
at that chosen people mandate.
Get Jews off my land!
It’ll blow your fucking mind,
half an hour
the vehicle of love is Israel.
You love me Israel—
put the Palestinians have a mandate for love.
Why can’t we Jewish exceptionalism here?
And you’ve got my love poem.
It’s a Nobel Prize today
love becomes the letter of the law.
That’s where you put your business,
oh you enterprising Jews.
Can your love see that?
Can your enterprise see that?
It’s a war machine now.
Everybody just ran up and started shootin’,
even after the terrorists were killed.
Is that Jewish exceptionalism?

Born in Israel

When the ticks were talking about building churches,
it’s free speech.
I don’t know who I have a ham on today.
I don’t know who’s worthy.
I don’t know who I’m talking about.
It’s race cards.
Can we talk about the Black Lives Movement supporting Israel?
It did in Chicago—
okay Hamas,
you terrorists,
thank you for being a friend.
I don’t know what I’m saying—
that was a Harvard trainee.

Let’s be blunt about this:
can we support Israel,
and they treat Palestinians like shit?
They are the oppressors.
Oh my goodness a homegrown flag:
the Palestinians weren’t there before Israel.
They became a nation under Israel’s cause.
Now they’re out to do harm,
indiscriminately killing civilians,
or that’s the show they put on
when they got out of their fence.
I mean they murdered.

It hurts doesn’t it?
The Palestinians want to show you
what it means to be Palestinian,
where Jewish means Israel.
That harms.
Okay we put Hamas in the kitchen and praise them.
You inhuman bastards,
is that how you gain freedom?
We don’t know.
We just hate ourselves
and see a Jew and want to kill them.

That’s the dry land:
we can’t kill Jews.
We shoulder our own freedom.
It must work among ourselves
before it goes outwards.
How is this done?
I have a naked little boy and don’t rape him.
I pull myself together.
I tie his shoe instead.
A poet will always speak in symbols,
his life the bait.

We learn to stop violence towards our children.
We are gentle and soft with them.
They eat out of our hand,
and we feed them warm and honey.
We do not blister them
with having to hate Jews.
We do not require this of them.
We do not indoctrinate them to kill.

How kind are we to one another?
We let our humanity light up our life.
A stray dog is an opportunity
to give our world some compassion.
We hold each other tightly,
as the brothers and sisters we are.
We do not do violence to one another.
We try to show each other love,
or at least the patience
you give a friend.
We strong arm no one.
We stand up for human rights.
We stop hurting one another.

Then our gliders come in peace.
We show the Israelis what they’re missin’.
We give them reason to respect us.
We brush aside their hatred
with the real human being.
This is all we can do.
War will kill us.
It will enslave our land.
Go to the heart of the conflict,
the hatred of the Jew,
and bury there.
Can you understand these people?
Can you see their plight?

More than a few are good-hearted towards you.
Not all are racists.
Not all think it’s their human right
to be the chosen people.
This is the dragon in the land.
It’s this we must eradicate,
not Jews.
It’s this we must show is wrong,
the essence of Jewish hatred,
the hidden core of their persecution.
We must not bury Jews
or destroy their peopleness.

They are a tower and a might,
and oh we need the Jews.
Can you sink them?
Are you rubbin’ elbows with those who’ve tried?
I think you need new friends.
Even in hell Jews triumphed.
They fight differently than most men.
They fight with their brains.
You’re gonna do them in?

We count on you
to show Israel its humanity.
You are the problem they cannot solve.
Their brains can’t grasp this:
there were a people on their land they took,
and now they must oppress them.
Victim turned victimizer once again,
we can’t see this as human frailty
common to everyone.

So what can you do to Israel that Israel needs to see?
You are a fine people
together in your lot.
You take hardship and spit out pearls.
You sacrifice for those around you.
You take your humanity
and circle the wagons with it.
It’s the way you meet oppression:
you are a noble people,
and therefore hard to abuse.

How would this act
when faced with aggression?
You kill the combatants
to defend yourselves,
and there you’ll win the respect of every nation
and show the world who’s wrong.

I think we complete this
in the issues of the night.
Glory hallelujah it’s dawn.
I thought I’d made you up.
This is a little spark of God in life.
You’ve pointed out the errors
in human ways.
A call to arms,
humanity’s arms,
wow you have children there.
Well spoken said.

Oh statute of limitations,
it’s just a matter of time
the Palestinian cross.
You’re kidding me—
the Palestinian blues.
Those are Greek and Roman myths
made real by human suffering.
It’s a Dispatches’ record
my hullabaloo.
Now they can be up there.
Give me a credit.
I’m pickin’ up the pace.
Gloria in Excelsis Deo. [line heard sung, from “Angels We Have Heard on High”]
Just put boiled rice,
I just put boiled rice.
What did you put in the blue container?
I’m all here bitches, shoot me.

I don’t think you understand the situation.
You’re gonna have to get bigger than you are.
It’s not gonna work killin’ people.
You have to show Israel who’s the human being.
Is your culture up to that,
to self-develop?
You just continue
life along the shores of persecution,
so you can stop its history on you.
This is done slowly.
Every man, woman, and child
must agree to band together
and be good to one another.

This is the team roll.
This is how you begin.
You’ll be working with each other’s subconscious, that’s for sure.
Study your dreams that will help you out here.
You have to learn not to react,
and you have to learn not to be mean.
It’s a process
doable.
It will improve conditions right away.

You’re gettin’ ready to love.
You’re gettin’ ready to be a balanced people.
This is not wishy-washy handshake bullshit.
You do things for one another.
You don’t slap, hit, or cuss out.
You keep hatred out of your voice.
You be the real thing to each other.
You be a friend.

It’s all over your face
when you are.
The Israeli settler
or the Israeli enforcer
will see you a human being,
not a rock throwing mob,
and they will act accordingly,
when they’re embarrassed by their own actions.

You don’t know the bone of contention here.
Will the real humanity please stand up?
You stand up and show Israeli yours.
Obviously if they’re shooting you you can’t,
but barring that.
I’m not talking lambs to the slaughter.
You never surrender your dignity.
You just comply with regulations
a noble human being.
Show them who’s boss,
and it’s not the Jews.
It’s our heartfelt humanity.
It’s our great get along.

I’m liberty speaking,
and you’re looking for that equipment.
I’ve spoken enough to Israel
in a book I’ve left on Amazon—
definite flavor
reconciliation.
It’s not your own state you want.
It’s that:
to live at peace among the Jews equal citizens.
That’s the example Earth needs
to keep our world from blowing each other up.
Can you do that Arab citizen,
Palestinians of Israel,
Palestinians held hostage by Israel,
Palestinians in the land of Israel?

Under the Israeli banner
so bigger
than for Jews and Jews alone,
Palestinians can be free again.
If you look at the roads there’s no other way.
Between Jerusalem I’m Sorry
will point out the crossroads.
It’s a matter of seeing them
and not do anything shameful.

Love towards Israel,
can you fit this into your schedule?
If you’ll be one nation you must.
Put this in your resettlement plan.
Now Palestinian refugee,
give resettlement a chance,
cause there’s a secret ingredient to Israel.
It comes
if we labor together
for a common goal.
The secret ingredient is floating off the top of my head,
and it’s called the home for the human being.
Enough of religious politics.
God is not the wrathful, bigoted, murderer you all suppose.
Find God and see.
It will revolutionize your life,
and you’ll be kind to your fellow man.

Jews will not be the inescapable people,
Muslims will not be the only ones on earth worth.
You have to integrate.
You have to learn to live together.
This is your mandate to each other.
Not big enough
to be only kingpins
Mr. and Ms. Jew.
You have to concede their plight,
so they can see yours.
A resettled human being
has that in their plan:
keeping humanity safe.
You give it
to everybody around you:
safe passage from point A to point B,
and let’s go from there.

One key thing
rule book the exercise
of your warm humanity.
I know this sounds very arranged.
You keep time
I’ll give you something.
I would just love to.
That’s an Israeli learning what it means to be Israel:
really going to court
to learn our humanity.
It’s like you’re free there.
The Mother told them to do that.
That’s hope.
