BUDDING IN THE DARK
hidden
inside
the world hidden
the world inside
in the name of all that is hidden
in the name of all that is budding in the dark
a light bringer
a light bringer
a light bringer
from the crevices of the mountains
the forest of caves
the world hidden
and the world outside
the world hidden
and the world
the world
inside
the world inside
seen?
the world outside
and the world seen
in the name of all that is hidden
in the name of all that is budding in the dark
the longing
the longing
the light bringer
the light bringer
the light bringer
the light bringer
from the crevices of the mountains
forest of caves
forest of caves
(longing, longing)
sea of mountains
fractured waters
forest of caves
ears have walls,
unending circumstances, living amidst greed
ignorance
ears have walls
eyes glued crazy
perpetual, perpetual perpetual parasitic
(longing, longing, longing)
a mushroom come to detoxify
bacteria not hysteria
where we live, where we live
the world inside
the world outside
and the world seen
and the world seen
inside
the world seen
outside
seen
hidden
seen
seen
hidden
in the name of all that is hidden
in the name of all that is budding the dark
the longing and the longing
well then well then
the longing and the longing
forever budding in the dark
in the dark
the light bringer
bring it!
longing for a peace.

Into The Love

INTO THE LOVE
mulch topsoil
miro-organisms will organize
(knew such wise)
states of salt and metamorphosis so welcome the grazing be neutralize and grow the clay that is so sweet and red that we should welcome the hungry then so hungry earth so hungry. dig the trenches fill water make it come again
so blackens the hold and from the dark she grows so wise as they were
the islands of heat
long for swale* pathways
hold
the water
swale to well pathway
the land is calling you
the water is taking you
into the love
you will fall so deep
dig so deep
the lonely and the wretched the earth and being
the nebraskan desert oranges and apples once again
building burns and digging swales
be the earths babe
emerald green is sky blue
dig me deep the war’s trenches are wells for water
the wetland is the tear
the highlands
the wetland is the tier
if you wanna cry me a river
the lonely and the wretched
the land is calling you
the water is taking you
into love
do not hinder the flow
*swale
A swale is a low tract of land, especially one that is moist or marshy. The term can refer to a natural landscape feature or a human-created one

This song's lyrics includes excerpts from the following poem by Fauzia Rafique:
What Will You Teach My Child
(this poem was Inspired by Pop Queen Madonna’s Sept 28/2014 tweet about her dream school.)
“The revolution of love
continues in Pakistan!
The Dream School is finally
finished. 1200 kids
attending. Knowledge…”
What will you teach my child
in your dream school
in Karachi?
Will you teach her
what was taught to kids
in the native indian
residential
schools–? Torture a method
of academic instruction
hunger, death
estrangement; electric
chair in school equipment,
some lessons
perhaps in that
humanitarian*
system of savage
salvationism.
What will you teach my child
in Karachi?
Will you use the knowledge
created to teach
what was taught
in your black/white
segregated
schools–? Establishing your
racial superiority
over children in this
democratic*
system of equal
opportunism.
What will you teach my child
in Karachi?
Will you teach her
what is taught to kids
in your
neighborhood
schools–? So they continue
to feed your greed by courting
a future of minimum wage, disparity
cage, desperation rage in this
charitable*
system of corporate
profitism.
What will you teach my child
in your dream school
in Karachi?

AGE OF WIZDOM
It's dead
it's finished
it's the old trees
carry memories
one tree is not enough
a tree for a tree - nothing can replace the old trees
it's the old trees
its over
an epic of time
an epic of time
it's over
beginning of time
of time baby
its dead
an epic of time baby
its finished
in the roots
the eye of aura encompassing the sound
in the arc of aura
encompassing the sound
around and around and finally around
so around
encompassing around
in waves
out and out
pushing inwards, touching each other's soul
no voice sings like the reach of the roots
nothing can replace the old trees
its the old trees
carry memories
ewok wandering ecosystems
emotional intelligence unsurpassed
unsurpassed
a passion without strings
but roots
roots that reach farther will always find some mother way
it's finished
roots that reach farther will always find some mother way
some other way
business deals for trees, hundred year old elders cut down
babies without parents
no not a tree for a tree
no not a tree for a tree it's not enough
a tree never allowed to grow old, to reach deep in the earth, to touch the others, to connect all the dark spaces with all the light places
The Old Trees
The Old Trees
The Old Trees
No! no no no no
The Old Trees
The Old Trees
The Old Trees
how many roads does it take to?
how? oh -
It's finished
there's nothing between us anymore...
-------
how many trees?
it's not about getting rid of it, its about seeing it.
how many roads?
how many trees?
are you having:
sleeping issues
anger management
stress management
?
how many - how?
are you having sleeping issues?
anger management
stress management?
are you having sleeping issues?
there's an apocalypse, there's an apiocalypse, and there's a veil, there's veil lifting but
hey no one sees beyond illusion, no one sees
hey no one sees and no one sees
are you having issues with stress management?
thinking trusting ancient predators
its obvious
and its plain to see
but its plain to see
and its plain to see
but its plain to see
its finished
manifestation, manifestation
always time to move around
time to unwind
-----
no matter our voting strategy, our understanding of world political theory and history, there is something to take a stand for that is imminent - its finished - in our current times.
there's nothing between us
it has become obvious that the original populations of all geographical regions in the entire world had been colonized and are still being colonized without a sharing of knowledge and culture as a positive and not destructive force with nature and fellow beings.
I ask myself: if these songs could speak?
i ask myself, i ask myself
I ask myself, if these songs could speak, they would walk to every street corner
calling out hypocrisy, calling out the in-congruent and ambiguous, cowardly idea of hate of fear, an act of destruction against the courageous and brave force of life.
I ask myself - what are you willing to do? - if these songs could speak
- what are you willing to do?
force of life, the belief in life, and our intersection of issues in these current times, as it takes on trajectory to points of relation in our history.
the old trees,
it is the old trees that carry memories
- not a tree for a tree!
it's dead
its finished
nothing can replace the old tress.
