How to Take a Conservative Population with You in Progressive Change

Eating orchids,
there we are,
and sittin’ on moonbeams,
I am a conservative population.
Ride ‘em out this-a-way:
practice silence;
practice not letting them get the best of you;
practice understanding,
and of course you’re conservative.
The world is strong, ain’t it?
Rise up and be counted when your vote’s to be counted,
and do a lot of that.
Don’t argue with trees.
Don’t just use your own bull.
See the larger picture in everybody.

Now you want social change?
Well let’s just take a baseball bat
and conservative them to death.
Okay how not to change the world.
Shove it up their ass.
Wave your flag all over the place.
Slap them for it.
Tease them and tease them and tease them.
Be stupid.
Don’t have patience with anybody.
Call yourself a woke person and them not.
Take their children and educate them your opinion.
Announce it on the news
everybody must adopt policy.

Are you runnin’ for reelection?
Don’t put people down.
Let your human rights win
by so much suffering seen
tellin’ the stories that change the times.
You like to whip kids?
Double down on that
explainin’ what it means to be whipped
by the confusion that child felt whipped too
his father was beating him,
his mother too.
Don’t show them Nazis show them children in their underwear.

And what was the issue that broke a nation?
It wasn’t readin’ story time to kids
in drag row,
but let’s offend a nation so we can be seen.
What was the hot tiger?
We do away with gender roles now,
understanding the underpinnings of society
just crisscross and change down people’s throats.
We are divided in sexes
you and me,
and that’s the pumpkin we wear.
Less value on them pumpkins.
We need to change society
so we can be men and women too.

Who understands me?
Get rid of that pumpkin.
We stand at the threshold of evolution
I am a man I am a woman
in one machine,
and my God that takes a long time.
I mean we can loosen up now
the sex roles.
You know the story about it?
I mean even Nazis will identify with it.
Can you get at that spirit in the machine?
It’s town hall.
Now let’s double down on them sex roles
educatin’ a public kindly.

What’s next on our flag?
We need to kill people
when they offend us.
I been waitin’ a long time,
and I got ‘im yesterday,
the son of a bitch.
I think we all do it,
wearin’ some fantasy get even.
Look at Trump.
Oh shit I broke my own rules.

I’m not in the play yard.
I’m where we hold meaning for each other.
It’s a national pastime bein’ offended,
Annie get your gun.
We break together on this,
break apart in two.
It’s the standard wear.
It’s the plays of the crowd.

Where is our anthem now?
Oh say can you see [sing line]
a people better on Earth
than the average kind,
the real givers of society,
whose dynamics
brighten Earth’s future?
I’m not callin’ names.
I’m asking you to be bigger people
on the Earth,
and yeah I’ll join hands too.
You got that right.
Now sing along:
my country tis of thee [sing line]
I’m a better person.
I get bigger at bein’ human,
truly free,
sincerely free.

The discipline is there
in the conservative run of the road.
It’s not easy to reach them,
but they’re great adapters
when they’re on strike,
when they’ve had enough of whatever regime they listen to.
Let me tell yah somethin’.
It’s on and at the gates
history repeats itself,
and a dictator,
he’s gonna show who he is.
It didn’t happen.
We felt sorry for him.
Five times I put air in my eyes.
She’s so dirty,
I mean in armpits.

What in the hell did I do with my knife?
He will get called on his bluff.
Don’t worry about it.
Did that boy call?
This is not normal.
This is like on steroids
flutter a nation away.
Who just heard that?
The whole Democratic party.
When conservatives do we’re in business,
tap, tap, tap, tap,
and the role of his dictator will be taken away.
I don’t think so.
How did you get in my poem Gone With the Wind?
Conservative,
wow like I put you down for science
when the roles are clear.

Meet me halfway will yah?
You’re like makin' boxes I know that one.
We need to give this guy some seabiscuits.
Anyway I’m in an armchair
just rollin’ out the dice.
I can’t promise you my opinion.
Take my hand
and just spit on yours.
It’s the most country in the world
that changes the world with policy.
Spit it on
the hand of the world.
You did it.
He turned the world astray
for a second,
fighting the questionnaire.
Who me?
A conservative finally woke up.

They followed the lantern,
the orchid.
I didn’t tell yah the story.
Let’s look at rich people shall we?
And we caught them unawares.
I mean they been
the tax in the machine.
There’s so many issues
it’s a report.
They’re just doin’ us shoppin’.
They’re the head scapegoat,
a rat.
Oh shit,
put likes
all green,
as if they climbed out of that hole and did it.
Did you help society my dear?
I mean be on steroids
shootin’ money makin’ to the stars.
Get out from under them,
that’s our movie.

Change politicians at reelection.
Are you sayin’ what I think you’re sayin?
You mean no candidates can be rich people?
I don’t know how you grab it by society,
but just get the rich out of office
and any clothes they wear,
and campaign funds are not accepted
from anybody on a campaign
to keep the rich out of them pies.
Learning off the wall,
campaign funds have destroyed
our democracy you and me.
Up and up towards the explosion,
we give each candidate a certain amount and that’s it.

And that’s it.
We’re just talkin.
I’m just localizin’ Nithish in my poem,
everything he asked for
so society don’t cheat ‘im
of a childhood he deserves.
I signal the end
of makin’ it for business.
Make society good for our children see,
and can we have a brand new world?
You have something the willpower heal.
We need more of that.
Well it’s the first time.
We’ve been runnin’ this a long time.
Social change,
let’s get it busy.
Dammit a sinking fuel mankind,
conduct taxi no I didn’t talk to ‘im at all.
Shooting the pile of the pee,
well I just come along try to help yourself
stop this drillin’ machine.

Come on,
the last magnet.
It’s easy.
It’s not easy.
We’re damned to see.
Mowin’ the sand,
and it’s got to be dirty.
We’re human.
We followed the water magnet.
Molten lava.
And of course candidate.
Go back and forth and meditate,
I couldn’t think of anything else.
That’s the wrong station.
You’re not on top of Old Smokey.
At the gates
makin’ better children makin’ better society.
Damn, let’s take society by the horns will yah?
That’s the shotgun.
You got your air paws.
You don’t forget that.
Luxurious huh?
There we are
an internet used for social change.
Boxes they’re not always squeeze you tight.
Cash in delivery.
Now social change.
Now do what I do.
Jump and sort of fly into midair. [sing this and above line]
Fear is the meanest mind killer.
Open a can of whip ass.
Hey,
there you go.
It’s the wrong time
to be mean and insulting and rude.
We’re at the movie,
and the roles are clear.

Evil our times.
It’s all our jail. [vision accompanying first two lines of one of the questions on the Together We Served Service Reflections interview I just re-posted on their site, as if this was an edit for the beginning of the answer, which one I don’t remember]
I said it right on Amazon.
He’d like to name you a place
where we could find ourselves.
It’s growin’ to war.
Delete that.
Don’t stick your fingers into your reflections.
They’re good.
They’re history,
of your own personal.
You just need them read.
Well let’s see how big men are,
how soft
on the board counts.

Life is a divine work until it’s finished.
It’s great in jars.
How much pepper spray?
We get lost here.
It’s not a divine moment
in everybody’s underwear.

And you said it:
we have to hate sex.
No, one just talkin’ while we stab each other with it,
or a hole grabs us and leaves.
You take care of man.
We beat each other with it,
but that’s not my lifelong toy.
I play with myself because of it—
some child grabbed his gun.

Now, if we’re just a folded joy,
we can get along better in the streets.
We can cash in on tomorrow.
We need to get rid of sex—
I think the mature person said this
about who they have become.
Do we get rid of it?

It’s just a football field.
We learn to outgrow it.
We put it down.
We do not condemn it.
It’s a mature decision we make.
We expect no one to follow us but us.

Well I think I’ve sowed my wild oats.
No one’s ever blocked sex from me.
I’ve had partners all my life.
I went from childhood memories
about our lust room
we had fun in
to a teenager doin’ it right.
I was a young adult party sex.
No one stopped me.
I never got punished for it.
I’m clear and easy on sex.
It’s not a hole in the ground.
It laughs in the breeze,
and it really feels good, you know?

We take it off now.
What am I, 30?
You’re not a kid anymore.
You’re at that mature age where life makes sense.
You don’t go screamin’ down the street if you cut your finger.
You’re not a nightclub in the kitchen anymore.
You’re free
from have to be with your buddies.
You’re doin’ sadhana.
It’s become the aim of life
God realization.

This is not boring, religious, clap trap.
You get long lasting ecstasies
in your body at times.
You’re inner life has opened to the Infinite.
You see visions
that represent things
that you need to grow.
The inner voice has taking you by the hand
and introduced you to life
where God leads it.

It’s an offer I gave you a wall but nobody’s comin’.
Your mind can stay silent sometimes,
and you love the world.
It bothers you less and less,
other people’s behavior.
Even your mistakes
are no cause for alarm.
Patience is painting your room,
and kindness drapes your social interaction.
You’re a strong person
that knows how to look at things.

You’re gettin’ trapped by sex now.
It’s spills you.
It does not hold your hand.
It’s a life force squeeze.
You’re tired of its pursuit.
How did we come here?
From all walks of life.
It’s an everybody does,
when they get old enough
to only pursue God.

This changes society.
Nay, this reinvents society.
We are bigger than machines.
We know how to handle ourselves even in love.
We’ve grown oceans bigger
than anything we look at.
The world is ready to evolve.
We can do this.
We can be free from sex,
if we know when the time has come to do so.
No premature ejaculation.
It has to be the right time.
It has to be real.
It has to be what we’re doin’ in life
to find God,
and you will hear it in your soul to give it up now.

You are the soul of society.
They’re uneducated,
anybody who denies this.
They don’t know what’s goin’ on.
They just want to stay kid.
How do we handle this with them?
With patience and honesty.
We don’t force them to comply.
World force does that,
as the soul force it truly is.

We’ve got such a long way to go
to reach our evolutionary path
mountaintop,
millennia,
and I’ve just given you a key ingredient
to get that done.
It’s wonderful you know?
free from sex.
You’re unhampered by life
in its sticky points.
You stand tall, proud, and free,
and you know the other half
and don’t have to mate with it anymore.

You are as much male as you are female
in the essence of yourself,
as you meet the world.
The gender of the body leads you,
but it doesn’t rule.
You’ve achieved balance in time.
This is cool.
You’re Hercules
and Diana.
You are fit do some dangerous big knife
or stay at home
and take care of the kids.
Now can I counsel you further?

Oh I’m around,
even in narrow we meet.
Come to my other business runners,
how the tackle game
plays with children,
or how dogs become human,
or how enlightenment speaks.
Join me will you,
on some other poem
battles down life
to a node.

They got a skinny little net,
the literary art house,
so you won’t find me there.
I’m on blogs and such
in my room
right here in front of humanity.
Let’s see this through:
no sex
when we get old enough to drop it.

Asses the future risk of poetry.
It will just sink.
It won’t even cut corners.
It will just sit there unread.
It’s just a bunch of words in a blender.
I don’t know what he’s talking about.
And now we’re in our teens.
It’s not innocent here.

They do it
despite we want them to stop.
It unbalances them.
Makes them crow.
It changes their minds.
It gives them a safe outlet
for their demands.
Now we’d need to stop pregnancy and disease,
not have them harm one another,
make it slightly difficult to get to
but not prevented or prohibited.
What have I said?
Teen sex.

We’d account for this
by all the kid sex they had,
where they’d learned to take turns
and be nice to one another,
before their genitals became armed.
Now I’m a roll in a hat.
End sexual hangups please.
In all this here we do that,
got it figured,
got it right.

Now you’ll blast me
with everything you can throw at me.
Now hear me out.
I’m in wisdom’s barn,
but I’m not settin’ down rules.
I’m understandin’ the animal we are
and seeing how we get beyond it.
You got it all wrong.
It’s not hide the genitals.
Let them play,
where appropriate does its measure
in the right age group,
where we are not keen on sex;
we just wanna feel down there
and have fun
with ourself or with friends.

We grow out of it you know.
You’ve seen it in this poem.
Has it terrified you?
Has it done anything at all but look at you?
Can we get over it.
Can we just make sex the plaything it was
before don’t do that got ahold of it
and put it down
when we’ve gotten bigger than ourselves?

Now test me please.
See how this works in public.
Under the right conditions
we are healthy human beings.
Some people are still reading this.
Some people have thrown it away.
Are you just afraid it’s a masturbate cushion?
If we stop right now
we’re at the end of the poem.

A risk teenager said.
Is it better to freeze?
We’re gonna try
hoppin’ a poem on Earth’s wheels.
The SF engineered
a better to see me with
well together we served.
Let’s see.

A military airlift,
hands brought me the breeze.
That’s the shot fired.
The bulwark of the law
has to undergo a transformation
in order to fit this into place.
Can you imagine the changes involved?
They’re bigger than sin.
They make us right
in our social relations
where we see attraction laid eyes
and mounted genitals and hands.
It changes us at the core
of our manipulable social relations.

We’re there
stuck at a roadblock,
women screamin’.
men peein’,
and everybody mad at one another.
Can you see that?
It’s right there in front of you
on communication.com,
on the nightly news.
It grabs the literary page
and hits up movie after movie
and theater television.
It’s a regular guest
on sope operas.
It’s everywhere we look
anywhere we got eyes
on the society of us.
it’s too tiring to see,
and we still keep it up.

Can we take it down,
when we get back to our old self
that has other gauges for life than sexual sin?
Pretty much all about Eve
is a sexual trauma notebook.
i don’t think this is smart land,
and here we go again another scandal in the news
this present poet creates.
I could’ve just stayed offline,
not bothered with dense matter,
and do my thing.
Am I stupid?
I’m not dumb.
Transparency
is the easiest way
to finish the world
a miracle on earth
enlighten us.

Indian spirituality,
can you turn on the lights?
Can you be exhausted?
You are there for the world.
You’re everything,
not just a lonely mountain.
You encompass the world.
It gets bigger in you.
It tells us how to deal with consciousness,
and very few Indians know this.
It’s not their religion I’m talking about.
It’s not the worship of some deity in a temple.
It’s bigger than Hinduism.
It’s much bigger than nationalism.

Sri Aurobindo yoked this to the world,
unfortunately.
An occupied country had him in bounds.
He shed this yoke
Supermind
and love his nation.
Can we falter?
In the spirit of nationalism we can.
Bombs away.

Okay now we have to deal with humanity.
It’s tangible it’s real.
It’s not just an idea;
we’re all here.
It’s not bound by nation or creed.
It’s how we gather ourselves
to do good on earth.
It’s not the soul.
It does not encompass God.
It’s where we begin
to save our planet,
to survive.

Think about it:
you as important as me
in the nation roll call.
Why can’t this happen?
No spiritual vision.
You have to go deep inside yourself to see it,
beyond ego.
It’s not just believed in.
That falters.
You have to experience this.
You have to get there.
How many do?
A handful on the planet,
not enough yet to guide the others,
not enough yet to change
from nationalistic vision,
not enough yet to see us.

You don’t know the value of this vision
of the whole.
I say humanity but dogs are included.
The whole damn world’s there.
You feel fish.
You identify with everything.
You suffer for this.
You can’t live in society
around other people.
They expect you to adopt their enemies.
They expect you to be mean.
A terrible noise
someone sees you with a prostitute.
They think you’re buying her services.
You make no distinction between people.
They all need help.

You can’t grasp this.
It’s too foreign to your concepts
of how to behave in the world.
You give everybody equal time?
You fool.
Oh you have your attractions,
your preferences your paint,
if you’ve seen humanity
in spiritual vision,
and you’ve not yet shed ego.
Hello everybody,
that’s me.

Those preferences,
I don’t just use them.
I don’t just foster them.
They can be used by the grand Creatrix to do Her work,
if you know how to wrap your life around Her,
around the divine mother.
Look I’m Indian
in my questions and answers.
An American said that.
Sri Aurobindo
gives me tools
so I can climb mountains
and give you the word.
We all sit in the lap of the Mother.
This is all play out
dynamic duo.

It makes sense, doesn’t it?
We can put together the world that way.
It comes in spiritual vision.
I’m Indian
in the truth of things,
American
as I handle the world.
See all this word?
It’s not narrow-minded.
It’s not even George.
Gender fluid this is.
Okay I’m feminine here,
masculine there.
I don’t think we understand gender fluidity.
It’s a consequence of spiritual process.
You give birth to your feminine
if you’re masculine
and vice versa.
No genital has to be removed.
No surgery called for.
You are a man
and a woman
in the essence of yourself,
in your ground zero.

I hold this in spiritual hands.
I’ve gotten down to that core
in a rising sea of inner process
and dreamwork.
I didn’t just adopt a belief.
I’m dual,
but it’s okay to be man in my pull.
I am a man
as the world sees things.
Let me fight this
because I identify as a woman?
I don’t think you understand spiritual process.
It goes that deep.
You’re okay in whatever skin you wear,
but it’s taken years to put this on,
no quick fix.

How do you open the inner consciousness?
How to you grow a tree?
You must become conscious of inner process
and dream is just the beginning,
but it’s a way station.
It will get you there
if you keep going.
Lots of hard work and inner concentration.
Your world will suffer some,
your outer being.
To find the balance takes years.
You see the problem:
how hard this is.

Enter the inner teacher.
Who puts together your dreams?
You’re gonna find out.
You’re gonna see deity at play,
your soul,
a world arising,
the thoughts and intentions of others,
a demonic voice and presence,
and all the things that make you tick.
Now the inner teacher is all that and more.
It orchestrates things
to put you in touch with yourself.
It’s inexplicably large.
It sees past, present, and future.
It’s personal to you.
It’s the inner guide.
It’s there all the time,
buried under layers of you.
You gotta get to it.
It’s there.

So this is not a machine,
a spinning matrix of unconscious doing.
It’s not automatic.
How do you find it?
Continue looking
until it dawns on you it’s there.
You savvy?
You hear me?
Let’s keep going.
Let’s not stop.

How can you trust your inner guide?
It’s infallible.
It’s larger than time.
It don’t leave you alone.
It wants the welfare of everyone.
It doesn’t stop at nothing
to get you right.
It’s very beautiful.
It manifests art.
I’m showin’ you what it looks like
when it’s on loudspeakers.
Inner process guide,
you’re hearin’ it.

It will bottom you
all the way to the top.
It will hold your hand all the way to the top.
Can you see it now?
I’m showin’ it to yah,
years of inner process.
You gonna stab me for it?
You gonna do me in?
I did follow him.
I’m all over him.
Something happened.
People are coming in on me.
Are they gonna interrupt?
I can’t do anything.
I’m a sitting duck.
Humanity it’s up to you,
but how do we call your name?
You’ll just delete
everything online
powers that be.
என்னடா?

So vulnerable.
Donny you’re tumble.
What are you gonna do?
You’re just right here for the job.
All this gate,
you think we’re gonna shut it?
Why wouldn’t he inspire?
Yeah sit down I see the world.
You see the world?
12:30 [vision of this on a digital clock]
Yes?
You have to start looking,
all of you.
It’s gonna go through this.
That’s inevitable,
whether you like it or not.
No, not what I was hopin’.
I recorded news.
It’s like this:
objectional voices included.
You’ll see how I got here.

All that big TV,
what’s happened?
You want this term to end.
He’s the man of the hour.
Who is he?
I want you castrated.
By the time he gets at that computer
it won’t be castration that you’re worried about.
Bragg at war,
you know it’s at war.
They handle you.
You keep doin’ what you’re doin’.
You’re not in trouble.
Don’t dally.
Come on,
poet’s progress.
I mean we can’t have you
knowledge just sitting there.

Alright,
I have a solution.
Turn your switch on. [vision of someone holding my laptop a little askew and turning on a switch on it]
That means keep typing.
Okay guitar, [spoken in Douglas’s voice]
it’s just a Mac,
a close-up of syrup.
You are actually good.
It’s time for the bulletin board.
Give this wings.

It’s off the top of my head,
rough note.
I was in school.
What did actually camouflage?
I was blocked in America.
We were told to run,
as the Green Berets had gotten our medal.[1]
No but they threaten you.
We’ll see what they do.
Okay get this classroom online.

The figure we cast in time.
What's your new ID?
I fence towards the One.
The precise figure we cast in time.
