Babel



​​Ain't nothin' like the heavenly light
effulgin', divulgin', liturgin', urgin'
gently or harshly, silently and loudly
  in everything 
as apparent nothingness, 
all kinds of nothin',
kind but not for the blind
in the mind eye
aye, o.
Mysterious force behind o,
man and woman's o.
Mysterious force of I of I; 
oh, eye, aye.
Mysterious forces behind everything,
mysterious force of mysterious forces
oraclin' augurin' as always
from the mountain
sayin' walk thru valley
avoidin' death, snares, lairs, beasts
furious dark forces
comin' thru TV now
and how?
Thru shows, their hidden doors.
Ideology, survival of fittest,
as if we had control
over life and death,
commodoties to trade in.
Odd.
Free market,
wish we had 
market free of oppression,
everyone gettin' their daily bread
produced by clean heart hands.
Would be a revolution.
Is that the solution
or just evolution
of justice, peace, joy
real forces immeasurable
by super conductors
tryin' to explain universe
forgettin' story
of futile buildin's 
to heaven,
seekin' the biginin' and endin'
which don't exist
inexplicable x
always has been
always will be
eternally.
Dialectically there is
no beginnin' nor endin'
just connections
connectin' the just:
Americans and Russians
throwing stones at each other:
"you break your treaties."
Tell it to the Native Americans
and the Poles.
So put a lid on it
just speak truth you just
take care of most needy
today, everyday
rest will follow from there
from Belfast to Beirut
via Managua and San Salvador
Cape Town
need new towns
all around
start by sayin'
enough of the madness
you can only kill 
a person once
why do you want 
to do it a hundred times?

People on the street
Moscow, Washington
want peace, just peace
so stop sophisitcatin' 
weapons of death
start dismantlin' instead
keepin' eyes on each other
layin' weapons down slowly
in the name of good
all embracin' good
good
God 
yes.
