Everyone Is Infected

Not with a virus

Adorning a crown

Something more deadly

Just a lifetime slower

Suffocating evolution

No bleach or light

Time or vaccinations

Will cure the devastation of

Beliefs superseding

A potential reality

Invisible contagions

Enter simultaneously

Through the visual cortex

And auditory canal

Via light and sound

By carriers of misinformation

Well before the mass media

Was creating mass hysteria

Rumored notions of power

Outside of one’s self

Contaminating the contents

Of the case hardened cranium

Infecting the intelligence

Of diseased divine deities

Ill with religion and politics

Race, gender, height, weight

Sexuality, possessions, power

Geographical location, caste

Pride, flags, guns, rights, etc.

You know, all of the stuff

That keeps us inhumane humans

Jonesing to keep up with the Joneses



Is the only cure the transcendence

Of this dense diabolical dimension

To the illusionary eternally ethereal

Methinks not, methinks we could

Make heaven here on earth

In an instant if we only knew how

Trouble is, there is no money

To hoard and ostentate wealth

If everyone was infected with

Sharing, helping, feeding, teaching

Learning, housing, elevating and

Being at peace with who they are

No sides to take, no game to win

Simply bask in the glow of breathing

In the miracle of consciousness


“Ooh, baby, do you know what that’s worth?
Ooh, Heaven is a place on Earth
They say in Heaven, love comes first
We’ll make Heaven a place on Earth
Ooh, Heaven is a place on Earth”

– Belinda Carlisle


I would like desperately to evolve
However with all the chaos
In the world the only thing
I can imagine I can do
Is grow another set of thumbs
Grasping the last scraps of hope
Off of the barren table


“Folks,  it is time to evolve ideas.

You know evolution did not end with us growing thumbs, you do know thar right. Didn’t end there.

We’re at the point now where we are going to have to evolve ideas.

The reason that the world’s so #ucked up is we’re undergoing evolution and the reason our institutions our traditional religions are all crumbling is because……..

THEY ARE NO LONGER RELEVANT
THEY ARE NO LONGER RELEVANT

So it is time for us to create a new philosophy and perhaps even a new religion, you see and that’s ok. Cause that’s our right. Cause we are free children of God with minds who can imagine anything. That’s kind of our role.”

– Bill Hicks


“Dead Inside”

I see it crumbling
Right in front of me
There’s no stopping it
So get that out of your mind
You can’t run from it
You know you never had a choice
And now you’d better make
Your peace with it
It’s unraveling
Become clear to me
A new terrorism
Taking over our lives
The beast’s hungering
It keeps ravening
There’s no remedy
And do we even want it now

Look in my eyes
And know that I
Am dead inside
From the countless lies
That have eaten us alive
I know why
I’m dead inside
You’re dead inside
We’re dead inside

Can’t handle it
Collective punishment
Who are these maniacs
Taking over our lives
The old strategy
Destroy liberty
A modern tragedy,
And can we be forgiven?
Swift consequence
Without evidence
Losing relevance?
Hate will keep you alive
The beast’s hungering
It keeps ravening
Have you ever thought that maybe
We deserve it now

Look in my eyes
And know that I
Am dead inside
From the countless lies
That have eaten us alive
And now you all know why
I’m dead inside
You’re dead inside
We’re dead inside

Will you bury the dead
Hear what I said
Time to bury the dead
Remember what I said

I know I
Am dead inside
From the countless lies
That have eaten us alive
And now you all know why
I’m dead inside
You’re dead inside
We’re dead inside
