untitled/2

i'm in meetings all day
she tells her calendar
as if blinking would,
could change
all the arranging
and decision making
and importance
the world is a beautiful place if
you don't mind a few dead minds
in the higher places

the world is a beautiful place,
if it has
momentum,
purpose
like it is all going somewhere
not up some position
and cash dollar ladder
but across an ocean of
circles of life
lives
cycles, chains and unrestrained
hungers
mother nature hugging darwin
for presenting one theory
on why it all is the way it is
or some of it
some of the time

this, this, this
sense of duty, school
assignments, deadlines
graduation, benchmarks
heavy undulations
theme park rocking ship
will end, does end
and then...

oh, burp and life
goes on, like naps after yawns
applause after song
sing, singing, i'm still singing
where am i belonging
post-now
post, as in fence
outside the black tipped iron gates
never seen a beast so well groomed
teeth polished and claws
manicured

she said:it is better to speak
remembering we were never
meant to survive.

in the mouth of the dragon of america
in the gates of the beast of ( ***)

(exhale dissidence
walk resistance
faith in persistence
movement of jah people)

and he said:
everything little thing is gonna be alright!

breathe and move on.
move on and breathe.
