Click hereI don't know much about Buddha
or have any use for elaborate superstitions,
however benevolent;
a long, long time ago
I read his holy texts
and was quite captivated
by what he had to say;
Afterward, I lived in Thailand
and his followers gave me no reason for complaint
but Buddhism doesn't interest me today
Last night,
after a sleepless, sickening
3 day whisky binge
I went to an AA meeting;
I felt "the spirit" there
and mumbled with them as they prayed:
Some folk who know me,
pretend to, or don't even
would say I should walk
forever in their way
Well, people can say
pretty much what they've a mind to say
especially in this land, age and day;
Just now on that "addict" head,
I got "nada" either way
Me, I'm kind of in to tooth-and-claw
pen-and-guitar bloody struggle,
rebellious "spiritual" egotism
looking at the modern globe
through a primal crystal prism...
and sacrificial acts of charity
instead of clean-cut professions
of billy-club law and order
in the name of ??Jesus??
well, as that crazy entertainer Tommy Petty sang:
"I'll be king when dogs get wings;"
These just aren't my troubles to cure
and that's okay
cause I'm feeling okay,
again a bit less
but far more than sane
It's sort of like my higher elf
was asleep coming up with beautiful dreams
when awoken by a rain of green vomit:
and now I see past
some personal pains and limitations,
feel re-connected with forces primitive,
societal, loving, fierce, whatever
These are some thoughts on Nirvanic transcendence:
at the moment, only a few seem interested
and that pisses me off for sure
but not deeply...
as usual, you're candid in this poem. you never seem phased by the prospect of being naked to your readers. thanks for the intimate glance.
You've inspired at least one poem from me by this piece. Your sincerity on this subject touches me. Great read!
