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?

The Music

A poem by Donny Lee Duke
Have you ever seen the field of lyrics? They’re divine emails to singers, songwriters, and the sunlit path. Yah hear ‘em? They wouldn’t mail you to hell. They come on wings of golden charm in a literary ear, all of them that define music. How easily they come rollin’ in a song. I’ve sideswiped a mirror. This just doesn’t sound right. Force, cram, there, stars. Oh my the lyrics, they need a water table. I’m about your engines of change. I defy the world. You hear that rock 'n roll? It just poured in. Even love songs lit it. And the 60s went on until we could hear the sound no more. It really rolled in then. Lyrics told us what to do: be kind to your brother; watch the looking glass; we don’t need no thought control. [heard sung, Pink Floyd, “Another Brick in the Wall”] And bands played on. They all got out of sorts. The sound of music [heard sung, R.E.M., variation on lyrics “You Are the Everything”] compensates for society’s hard ways. You know what I’m talkin’ about. Music glows. I don’t know how to tell you to control it. It’s your business when to turn it off, but don’t you want that bare reality boy, you and the world face to face? You’d use that too to come together on yourself. Bare bottom reality, where we find ourselves in fight, come on let’s get out of here to the tune of music. Use a song to fight? Let’s listen to reality. Billy don’t be a hero. [heard sung by Bo Donaldson, line names song] Thanks for calling in, but sometimes reality’s really fucked, you know? and you’d die if you didn’t take up arms, you and your whole family, a Ukraine emergency. You, see the difference? I’m loud enough. I just don’t know where to begin. I’m on sleaze mode, and I just ego the world away, or I’ve lost my tune in a bucket of melodyless words. I don’t bring you anywhere the skylight gets ahold of yah. I’m pretty and all, sometimes, but I’m awfully small with sharks. Today’s music, right? I ego the moon away. Give it a Grammy to correct the past. I’m on it— a racially motivated statement. Got a guitar, just give it your play in the do’s of yourself. Music will come rollin’ off your lips when you trouble time with words that bring the world together on your knee, and you’re rockin’ it to sleep in its ballroom, no matter how loud it gets, no matter how tune. Oh you open yourself in the rhythm of your ear. Hear that the light of music. [heard sung by R.E.M., “You Are the Everything”] It’s in your neighborhood. It’s comin’ upon yah now. Play that song. If you want to sing out sing out. [heard sung by Cat Stevens, line name of song] You hear music? Do you know how to listen? It’s a metaphor for change. You’ve got to get down there and do it, make it better, your crumble with the world. It means so much. Now you’re listenin’ to another radio program than the one you usually hear. It’s got music in it. It’s also got love. It doesn’t neglect you. It tells yah how to sing. It’s a motion on a better world, a better you, a better me. The music of rebellion, I’m talkin’ to it. I don’t think we’d leave out our own change, would we, “Dream On”? Unbelievable the way that song rocks us, so help us look at ourselves, rollin’ and all. There’s a distance. He’s fishin’ me off. He’s right. We can’t get at music’s purpose. I say change, and I’m puttin’ words on starlight. I mean heavy a world has deepened in music. It gathers us way beyond the song. This is experimental candy. It’s got loads behind it. It will refashion our world if we let it. It will get bigger than time. It’s in your inner ear. Play it out. Not so much what, what in the world— who dat? It’s not the Devil son. It’s glory. I’m not gettin’ a chair or somethin’. I’m gettin’ all this juice to dance my religions/relations. [two words spoken simultaneously] Teletransport investigations, I think we’ve just spoken easy money. Let me see your hand. You would have no hair on the palm if you want to be transported right with another. I mean it wouldn’t be about gettin’ laid that brings you to world union. Okay you’ve got my song, and I give it to yah for free. Can we mix music and money? A need to get rich can’t. Jay, I just want to say you ease my music. But would I let it lead the song? It doesn’t sing, a laboratory substances faces only. Unbelievable where we need to see the world. It’s in our holding hands. Without it eclipsin’ the world— it’s not at a pot party. Hey, you know, can we play that again, a thing on making rules? We dance here. It’s not how we make the world. We come together on ourselves, you know? World understanding dim. I got your door. It’s so sweet it’s in the air. It will be music, and then you sing, you sing the song. You remember me. I was so 60s. I brought you the right music for social revolution, to change the world into the peace that will change the world, into a love that will last longer than you feelin’ it, into a brotherhood that goes beyond race and people-kind. Let’s make this revolution happen. Let’s go to town on music. Open to your brother. To my brother? We need peace to make this music happen, to get this show on the road. If he’s got a different opinion than you he’s your friend. If she’s disagrees with you you still let ‘er in. You see my catfish? You see the food bank? You see where we all need to improve? This is a weird pharmacy. You actually give your brother your time, give your sister a shoulder to lean on, and they disagree with you what if? Oh my puddin’ and pie, don’t feel bad. Don’t get all upset. Give them the love on your corner without bendin’ the rules: keeping out of opinion debate and trying to convert one another to what you believe in. Opinion circles never give up. You have to give in. You have to, no matter what, no matter who you are. Yes, talking that’s not listening. After all man, we’ve got so much work to do gettin’ our hearing to hear past TVs and radio poles. We need to hear music. We got to right now. It’s the light of the world, so much paper to put that in your vision, so much time for you to see. Alright music industry, crank it out. Who we gonna work with, the major groups and singers? They’re hardly listenin’ to where music reaches us a better generation, the pop sound that joins reality to love. You are so romantic you love the world. It can’t be faked. I’m singin’ it everyday, where I play the world, this clavicle of house, this Earth of mine. I can get better at. I can improve. One final word: make peace within meditation the meditation begins. God it’s beautiful. How’d you do in your family? Come over here. Look’s like burnt out. They subset got on the phone. It’s gonna last you again. Your family is the arrangement, those people in front of you, whoever they are. There’s your boss. Oh history of change it’s here. Music will tell yah. Listen. Let’s get out of town square. Falls the world in, and we’re go back to music. Thought of giving it all away to a registered charity, if I ever get outta here. [three lines heard sung by Paul McCartney and Wings, “Band on the Run”] Come on Paul let’s go. We’ve got music to attend to.
