I just had a thought that my posture may have offended or triggered someone with my “man-spread.” If you were inadvertently offended I just want to remind you that My eyes are up here you freak. It was fun.
Matt Chambliss is an amazing human!
The Shadow Knows
I give no Damn about your skin, your politics, or your god, or the label you wear
Whether you piss standing up or sitting down or standing on your head
I can see the surface, but want to know the Depth
I listen for the sound of your Soul, the cadence of your Being
This is how I know if you are my brother, my sister
Our resonance creates a chord never heard before, and can never be broken
This is where the Truth abides
Not in the twisted words taught to us by others
Nor in the cartooned caricatures created in the Shadow’s cauldron
Political poison piped into perception
Demon demographic stereotype divides and diffuses differentiation
Soul’s Self, lost, loose, looking for Ground
Begging Shadow Masters for answers, for the Way
Pseudo Saviors selling Salvation on contracts signed in blood
Frantic fault finding on shaky foundations eager to see the Other fall
Groups grasping, greedy to fix the blame, to fill the gaping gaps
Hordes of Borg, Zombies, Children of the Beast devouring
Soul surrendered to the Mob’s Mind
Repeating, bleating out messages . . . downloaded
For the Shadow has cast It’s net wide while we yet slumbered
Reaching for the Real in the wrong direction
Straining against the ropes woven from our fear
Anger rises and is projected, reflected by the Shadow onto our very Kin
We create our own prison and stand guard least someone dare cross the lines
Not conforming to your demographic the only Mortal Sin
Choose a side to cheer for in this Devil’s Dance
Be My enemy so you can have Yours too
The bizarre sadomasochism of our human race speeding around the Track
A Game we pretend not to notice yet we find ourselves back in line again and again
Sometimes Dominant, Sometimes Submissive depending on the dice roll
Never noticing or begrudging the Shadowy Game Masters’ profit
Others accounting for our losses, yet we continue to play
Hellfire’s hate heats the cauldron from whence comes our enchantment
We fight against the very freedom we claim while blaming another for our Fate
The Shadow knows, and by our rage It’s power grows
Our struggle is not with each other
But with the Web which entangles us
So I lay down my arms
I surrender our Feud
You are not my enemy or my captor, nor am I yours
I am My own
Let us not become mired in differences of language or conjured constructs planted in our minds
Truth lives not in the idea About a thing but in the thing Itself
Come and see the Truth of Me, show me Yours
For the Babble is upon us and we are scattered
Fighting friends, not long forgotten Foe
Babylon is Risen
The Dark Sorcery still practiced, hidden in view
But even our disagreement create currents that can link us, teach us, set us free from folly
Your Soul’s rebellion and mine are the same, we are One
Freedom calls from our depths seeking our Awakening
You are unique in all of Creation, no mere articulation of Another’s will
I would know You and for you to know Me
Let us turn away from the fray that Blinds us
Let us seek that which might Bind us together
For the Shadow knows, and fears nothing except Us United and Unafraid
The Word
In the beginning was the Word
But, the Beginning of What?
The Beginning of You
Take care with words for Language can control You
They can limit your knowing
You are not a pronoun
Divided 64 times
Seeking a symbol to fit within
Your origin, Your ground IS
You are from before the beginning
Words can Not contain you
Nor give you rest
They are not your home
You groan, you weep, you shout Hallelujah
From a place too deep for words
You give birth to that which is spoken
You ARE . . .
You are not the Name, You are not the Label, the Mask
Persona is a role not the Reality
In the Beginning was the Drama
And the Drama is played with words
You are from Before the Play
And outside the footlights
Step out of the Drama for a little while
Remember the I AM
Hear the Song of You
Feel you particular Frequency
Close your eyes and awaken
Seek the Word yet unspoken
Because . . .
In the Beginning was the Word
Speak the new Word and begin Again
Gangsters – Banksters & Pimps
Gangsters
Garbed in red and blue
Politicking for the turf
Their tools are me and you
Why look to Them for worth
Banksters
Using conjured Money
To keep the Game afloat
Doin’ our tricks to get our treats
Slaves perform, Owners gloat
Pimpsters
Keep it stirred, keep it going
Divide and conquer is the creed
Hall of mirrors blind the Knowing
Feeding off the blood we bleed
Brothers-Sisters
Hear my call
Black & White, Yellow, Red
Together we rise or we will fall
Awake O sleeper rise from the Dead
