my zen guide holds an illusion
the bubble of contentment about to burst
till lo, no bubble, just contentment

Re: holding the zen illusion
Wed, March 5, 2008 - 9:58 AMdung heaps teeming
cloud castles abandoned
our meat vehicles bloated
cash cows screaming
possesions make us proud
integrity sold cheap
drugged with media treacle
prosperity for the few
for the rest, bend over
for the giant screw
the laws of abundance
perhaps, perchance
in very fine print
outline the cosmic cure
to disparity and lend
needed clarity to
the sufferring masses
earthly stint

Re: holding the zen illusion
Wed, March 5, 2008 - 10:07 AMpuffed up by our delusional grandeur
past plenty
stuffed excess
one more foolery for the road
one more ridiculous for the record
more, one more, and then another
more, some more
the more the better
the bigger, the bolder
minimal gloat
maximal affirmation
tell me i exist
show me my credit slip
buy me a warship
sail me into stormy seas
and tell me i'm captain
feed me words, buy me happiness
me monograms
me logos
one cosmic me
king of the tower
queen of babel
on, and on -

Re: holding the zen illusion
Wed, March 5, 2008 - 10:51 AMlip service compassion,
long distance charity
somehow does not yield parity,
but, such a satisfying show,
ah, to bathe in the rosy glow,
rather than wallow in contention,
yet it seems in this waking dream,
basic want answered with love,
is like freezing cold assuaged
by the warmth of good intention,
rather than warm gloves -

Re: holding the zen illusion
Wed, March 5, 2008 - 11:40 AMif i scream loud enough
will i hear myself?
if i give you enough
will i feel better?
if i tell you i will
will i?
or should i roll over
into yesterday's habits
it didn't work then
but it might work now
if i re-digest yesterday's meaninglessness
can i spit out a little something today?
oh, a maybe existence
in a neverland life
