Writing On The Wall
I come from the land of Atlantis…God does not play dice with the Universe... freedom
exists in a 45 rpm record…well-worn & serene…thought defines reality…if
you want to alienate every person in the room tell them all to go fuck themselves…the
beginning of political awareness…there is nothing to worry about…you are wasting
your time with any kind of television watching…accept it all…I was twelve in
'76, spent the bi-centennial in Washington, D.C. & everything that you could
pre-fabricate was in blood read white and blew…understanding breeds empathy…here
to dig the idea of this nation as an all-American mongrel boy, not to kiss your
ass…maybe it's a generational thing…your psychology is affected by the great
depression of your parents, grandparents…one probable reality of many, aware of the
collective conscious…a human being in the hundredth monkey theory, awaiting critical
mass in a Universe of thought construction ideas not to be found on the six o'clock news
or the cop-out-ley press…there is no need for arguments confrontations disagreements
in the yin and the yang of sexual desire…bless us one as all…
