Real life forum for the discussion of school peace,
a brick,
that brick has something to do with you.
We don’t wanna do it,
continue,
and we face certain destruction.
Death is ever on our knee,
and the world fail is in the picture now.
A sudden storm could kill us.
We are never safe,
and we just explode all the time,
come to hope and then crash,
come to bay and then sink.
If you are left out of this loop,
eventually your cross will come.
We are not safe from crisis,
and we are manipulated to star’s end
over the avoidance of such.
Some have good fingers,
some no.
Just look out
for what’s right.
You have it all the time,
in some speaker in your room.
The avoidance of death is not possible,
but we can make peace with our time that comes.
We can ground ourselves in reality,
and we can even see what’s ahead,
and if there’s disaster ahead,
well this is the crux of the matter ain’t it?
We don’t want the suffering to kill us.
We have to find a solution,
or chaos reigns.
And what of prolonged disaster?
I have been rejected by society
like men on death row,
and there is no way to climb out of this hole.
It’s pleasant enough.
I live in a bright home,
and no one will see me there.
I’m not value to anyone
except whom I can count on one hand.
This is deliberate and mean.
It’s not the normal social isolation.
So shoot me for it and let’s move on.
I’ve measured humanity in my bare hands.
I have been to the top and the bottom of this old world.
I commune with spirits
and the impossible.
I have seen things you don’t want to see,
and I’m not talkin’ murder and mayhem.
I’m talking about the fresh expression of the universe
ploughin’ us down to make its see,
how the Gods sit in their homes
and use us as dice in their gambles on the world,
and we get crushed,
and how God watches too big to help.
We are at a certain level of universe
that pay the price.
We sit on Heaven’s back
the sustenance it needs to survive.
I have found a way out of this.
I have found the truth of who we are,
and it’s a slow movement’s crawl
to the goal,
when this is time on earth.
I’m not filling you with hope I’m filling you with seeing.
We are bigger than all that.
We are outfielders from another universe
that encompasses this one.
We abide there now
on our tops.
I’m speaking from there
in the knowledge I give.
It’s clear and certain knowledge,
and it will open up the whole world to you
one step at a time.
It will mitigate disaster,
break in on it and help you rise above it.
It will sit with you at night
and hold your hand.
We are a dream weaver’s store
lost in our dream,
and it’s a collective dream
that we share together,
and we will wake up together
when the time comes.
That’s the certainty of dream.
Now can I honest myself here?
I’m a pauper when it comes to Earth’s stuff,
but I’m rich in meaning’s worth.
I’m a brink in the wall that is us,
but you can take me out and see time,
remove me and see beyond the universe.
I crumble in my own hands,
and even in my tears,
if I cannot feel the joy on my tops,
I know it’s there.
I have given formulas for world change,
and they go by unnoticed.
I have laid practicality at philosophy’s door,
given psychology wings,
and taken the big questions
and answered them right in front of your nose,
and the mind meets understanding,
and I’m just this existence worth
that has no place among you.
You think so?
I’m gonna dictate
mission impossible.
With all due respects,
can we land society here,
I’m conducting a sense of sacrifice where I meet the world?
I’m writing this with a déjà vu.
Even if you have not had your lives torn asunder,
do not find yourself in hell on earth,
or smell that awful stench near,
can you make ends meet,
support yourself and your family
and not have to struggle all the time?
I’m talking to the great majority of mankind.
Oh my God,
poor people gonna rise up,
get their share. [sing this and above line, tune “Talkin’ Bout a Revolution”]
Can I sing to you another song?
It’s the only way to be human on this planet,
whatever your religion or creed
or nationality.
We temper our hearts with a sense of sacrifice.
I’m talkin’ to the captains of business
and all who make a profit sting.
You can tax the rich all day,
and you haven’t met them in their homes,
where they need to see their lives
are propped up on so much suffering.
Cynical people don’t need me I know,
and people that run over other people
to make them pay
are not interested in changin’,
but do we have to back them up in society
and pretend it’s not happening,
the great rape of mankind?
Yep there is.
It’s everywhere apparent,
and politicians take off our shoes
and show us other stuff.
Can any responsible journalist hear me,
concerned teacher in school,
professor?
Preacher from your pulpit look at this,
temple master.
Can we talk about sacrifice in business as a way to heal humanity, /
discuss this every day where politicians get our vote,
where the rich see TV
and governments listen?
Why is world fail?
No matter who you blame it on it always comes down to this:
somebody’s getting rich at the expense of others,
at the expense of the environment,
at the expense of us.
It’s not a hole in one each time,
and there are other factors,
but tell me this one has no bearing on today’s world.
Tell me it’s a trivial matter.
Why aren’t we talking about it
where we rise up
and make social change?
I’ve put this in your hands
right alongside the transcendent,
how we get by in this place.
I’ve put it right alongside social justice,
without mentioning punishment or the price of beer,
I mean sex roles and how you spend them.
I’m givin’ yah things to talk about
in a voice that matters.
I’m showin’ you what’s up.
Thank God I’m lost on social media.
Just think if word got out.
Mainstream do you hear me?
I’m lettin’ the cows out.
I’m lettin’ the rich hear me.
I’m taking social justice by the wings.
What is the formula for world change?
C-o-m-e t-o t-h-e t-y-p-e r-o-o-m.
Your typewriter
to write it.
Eternity is a crossing reference
for the that’s how the book of love. [sing line from the word that’s]
So much more beyond our horizons.
I’ve been up there you know,
on our tops,
and I’ve failed you.
I just kept goin’
in an old movie
and racked up my isolation today,
again and again.
Bless you I’m sorry.
Sacrifice is the only way to meet these things:
you have to have it,
and it hurts other people.
Nothin’ you could do but give that up:
boy I hurt you.
This lasts a long time,
where you find others lookin’ at yah funny
and suspicious of your every move.
You will not be rewarded for sacrifice.
Get that through your thick head
if you’re making a profit on people’s pain.
Turn philanthropist I’m sorry,
and you’re givin’ till it hurts
because you love them so,
well that’s tough idn’t it,
no one believes you.
You’re still around money.
But you’ve come a long ways,
and you’re not doin’ this for the praise of the crowd.
That’s hypocrisy.
You sacrifice your Wall Street for love.
I can’t tell you how to do that,
fall in love with everybody,
and with some people it will never work,
but you at least learn to identify with them.
It does start with empathy,
and then it goes through spiritual change.
You see the oneness
danglin’ everywhere,
and you want to make it right with all there is.
I guess that’s the stoppin’ point
for this poem:
let’s begin that shall we?

The Waking of Pontius Pilate

A poem by Donny Lee Duke
Read the stories around the area. Read Mcdowell Christian’s story where he says he’s gay. He’s been made a knight of honor by the press. Even Anglican bishops compromise over him. No way you’re gonna laugh his book to death. You’ll make him the star of the show. Oh my God his struggle brings you to tears— the narrow-minded people along his way. Woke agenda, this is the story today in our Liverpool. Good God almighty great balls of fire, [heard sung] everybody’s mean, you know it? I think you’re too woke to see this: how you have to have some disadvantaged marginalized people to kick around. It’s not sufferin’ you’re lookin’ at. You’re lookin’ at what’s easy to look at. You won’t even look at the pedophile except to hate his name in public. It’s socially acceptable to kick him around, enjoy watching him killed. Can you say the word spaz? How sensitive to people’s pain you think you’ve become, those of you writing words out of our lexicon. Wait a second, will you throw me a line? I’m writing the poetry of the world and nobody reads me, and I am more outcast than Noah. I sit in my house and write these poems to the world, and all you read is the scarlet letter P, and my poems do not get passed around. I’m just a dirty creature with fangs. Come out, come out, wherever you are the woke person truly there. Feel my pain. My whole family’s disowned me, those blood ties you celebrate so much. It’s not a real joint. I’m not even allowed to be alive if you study the fine print in the news. Now let’s talk about miracles. I’m not a monster you know. I’m so bright and shiny it’s not even funny, and here I am talking to you. Where is the thought police? Why hasn’t cancel culture canceled me? Years I’ve been on the road a social media page. Come on let’s get real. I show you what woke really means, don’t I? And I’m not talkin’ about racial politics, sexual identities, and all that jazz. Do you see reality or the agenda you wear? Do you even remember your dreams? I’m a laughing stock. I’ve seen reality outside of the cave, and I know more than shadows along the wall. I’ll tell yah about a story about yourself. Football yourself, Mr. Davis, all in love with divinity. [heard sung] Television ran out. A hillbilly question: is God really the nature of the universe? Taste the Sugar. You want it now. You are the Sugar you see. Mode of vehicle does not determine birth. Identity politics, where is this vision free? What’s your contribution? Is it for the whole race? You have marginalized me to the nth degree, and I sing your song. I am all about your meaning. I have a question. What do they call a bit more than the alphabet among us? Poetry it’s been explained to you changes the world or at least has impact. When they’re not supposed to be there, we’ve become so blind, poems come to open our inner sense, and now you’re reading mine. Will you allow me in my meditative friend?
Ego Activism
Launch of Will
In this system show you guys how to do it. What is office in the film? That’s ego activism. I’ve had enough. Are you sure you’re sorry? You’ve said it. And we hear from the crowd. They see me in my underwear. Sing hallelujah to the Lord. [heard sung, song “Sing Hallelujah”] What do I do with Joseph? Isn’t that my own enigma? Help makes it vocally present. Go 900. The heaviest place on earth, you go in it, a chest of healing. I got ears.
Ego activism (the short list)— dynamic social action using one’s creativity to undermine the dominance of the human ego in the world, one’s own ego as well as the ego in general. It has the aim to quicken human evolution out of this ego stage of identity. It recognizes the primacy of the ego as the root of the problems in the human condition, and while it may address individual problems, such as climate change, sexual assault, mass murder, and racism, to name pressing ones today, it sees the solution in not giving primacy to the ego but to a more integral and unified human identity based on oneness, on the part of everybody, not just the people manifesting this wrong or that, their own ego being the primary ego the activist aims to surpass.
It does not point the finger at the behavior of others without three fingers pointing back at the activist, and when it does point the finger, it does so with compassion and understanding, for one’s self as well the ones being pointed out, keeping out of its attitude self-righteousness, judging, blaming, anger, hatred, and violence. It engages people with sincerity, vulnerability, beauty, and a knowledge of truth, truth not being any religious formula but what’s actually going on. While it’s never mean, it is frank and honest, is not afraid to speak its piece or call a spade a spade, and while pacifism is its preferred mode of action, it’s not adverse to the activist physically defending themselves and others if the genuine need arises.
Self-sacrifice, however, is a major characteristic of ego activism, not however, the kind that surrenders to the condemnation and punishment of the world, which would be surrendering to the ego and its methods, but the kind whereby the activist is willing to put themselves at great risk in conducting the action, not foolish, impulsive risk that has harm to the activist or death as its probable or certain outcome, but wise, calculated risk that has both the needs of the activist and the world at heart and in harmony whatever the outcome.
