CATASTROPHE: words of peace in times of war

It is excruciatingly late And I need to sleep But I also need to write   I need to process Dissecting this confluence of emotion Living in a moment of historic proportions Flirting with the precipice of barbarism An apocalyptic age of mass destruction   I am torn between worlds […]

LEGACY: an adams morgan story

  Prologue:   Displacement has a long history on this ground Nacotchtank: the Piscataway people’s name for this land Describing the convergence of rivers and its people This park was a Black cemetery Powerful abolitionists lie interred here We imagine a legacy Seeds of contemporary resistance Sowed by generations long […]

ECSTATIC JOY

    I feel joy Ecstatic joy Connection with these beings Connection with deep waters of transformation   Godlings of rain bless this space today The land inundated Water finding the path of least resistance Flowing serpentine   Abram’s Creek a deluge Pregnant with energy and healing Connecting us with […]

Letter to Ahmed

You were a pillar of my life For more than twelve years I swam in your waters Guided by a prophetic light   Your conviction was contagious Your energy visceral Your power of persuasion electric and magnetic   Now that you have passed I feel a painful absence Aching like […]

RAW

This is an homage to an angel In devilish disguise Tattoos brand your body Incarnations of your mind   You are electric but humble Enticing but kind I imagine tantric power Surging deep inside   Your beauty is raw Inspiring these rhymes Epic sex presence Transmogrifies time   I feel […]

SPIRIT BROTHER

you inspire me with your mind, your loyalty, and your inner fire–your will to serve and resist makes me want to craft plans and conspire…the beauty of your spirit provokes a confused state of desire–the intensity of your revolutionary intentions could be an albatross, or the force that takes you […]

PERP WALK

its indictment monday and heads are rolling—its a perp walk of the privileged and our resistance is growing…we are fighting for regime change here at home—we are fighting for a future that justice and karma will condone…manafort is going down—flynn was booted out in disgrace…but we need more than the […]

FINDING NEO: a prayer for our living gods

the night is pregnant with possibilities aroused and penetrated by my manic brain…the joy is punctuated with urgency—and i am anything but insane..we are organizing with all our strength to uproot a totalitarian regime—we are fighting to amplify our many struggles using all of our arsenal deployed by any means…my […]

OF WORMHOLES AND NIRVANAS

flying high on dopamine i see visions in the sky…hieroglyphics everywhere seducing my mind late at night…when i close my eyes i see wormholes to distant galaxies…we must resist the pathologization of our tribe’s neurodiversity…i dream in staccato rhythms–refueling energy for the day ahead…i am wired in deep meditation–or feining […]

PSYCHIC TWIN

when i meditate i often stare into mirrors—sometime i see other faces…karmic twins or psychic cyphers—other, but of me, and in a multitude of places…we seek our inner powers and pray for cosmic peace…while introspective i see many visions and get a taste of psychic relief…often the images i see […]

KARMIC INSURGENCY

  whose streets—our streets—so said the cops while suppressing speech…black lives on trial—neo-nazis on the rise—such a toxic miasma of moribund white pride…a US base on holy land—a criminal alliance—suppressing palestinian dreams—a magnet for arab defiance…our world grows smaller—and increasingly imperiled—climate change is threatening—our social system is sterile…its time to […]

CONTROL: a psychospiritual introspection

i am hypnotized by the starlight refracting through clouds…i feel power in my mind–a power to control humankind…the shimmering light makes me think i can see the digital miasma–vistas of dark matter outlining the emerging cylon matrix…to evolve is to be human–and ever mutating creation…in the dark night of this […]

FREE-FORM FAITH

since ancient times humankind has craved meaning and substance to fuel our days…we have worshipped  many powers, many stars, many gods–we have survived thus far–somehow beating the odds…to attain a new future, human faith must fly free–finding a confluence of mysticisms for a new pedagogy…we are crafting a new religion […]

BLAST FEMME

platinum-clad ladies vogue at the discotheque–leaving all the boys pining–hard-wired horned and wet…we rock the dance floor pounding hard with no regrets…we throw elbows and claim our space turning tricks and turning heads…femmed-out men in full length skirts–queering power branding fame…making it seductive and making it work–ensuring that every street […]

RED JESUITS: a study in idolatry

the left is literally littered with insular secular cults—devoted to their pantheons of lenin, trotsky, and marx…to overcome the satanic forces storming the gates of power—will require ideological flexibility morphing constantly hour to hour…the power of the marxist matrix is blunted by mental sterility—leaving its adherents recycling tautologies like fundamentalists […]

GENERATIONS

we live and we love–we laugh and we cry-we seek angels from above-we evolve til we die we dream of a future free from oppression–liberated at last  from toxic lies and obsessions each generation meets new tasks–cyber wired nowadays it seems impossible in this moment to anticipate our children’s fate […]

CLASS WAR KAMIKAZE

shock doctrine on overdrive–producing billions and endangering lives…corporate greed with no oversight–lacerating care and magnifying blight…we resist day by day in pursuit of a dream–we persist in this fight however futile it seems…we demand something more than this neoliberal wasteland–we demand equality for every woman and every man…the toxic refuse […]

ZYGOTES AND UTOPIAS

with each passing day the crisis at the top of U.S. society grows more toxic…the satanic cabal occupying the nation’s capital is held in check only by our resistance and its tide-like impact on the judicial and congressional wings of power…we are saying NO day after day to the outrageous […]

AGENTS OF KARMA

In the beginning was the word And the word was death Or maybe life or death to all life And ADAMA was born Toy soldier of divine clay Neither man nor woman just fine in its way ADAMA was cleaved in two by fire Lightning strike from Zeus on high […]
