Fire, Fire, Babylon shall retire
Mind invasion shall expire
Them ghetto youth we shall inspire
Guide and protect them as them acquire…
A full overstanding of a materialization,
Conquering our souls' conception
Peace upon the mind opens doors to realization
That fi ah ghetto youth's materialism be them destruction.
Free your mind, pure thy soul and free thyness from hate
Babylon wickedness shall encounter its fate
Heavens are open for those who livicate
Them souls in vision to reach the holy gate.
Marihuana elevate I and I to be self-conscious
Jah people we forever righteous
Babylon can search and conquer, them never find us
Jah shall protect us from everything malicious.
Hail King Selassie for his pure wisdom
In holy Mount Zion shall we find our freedom
Jah do save us, Babylon is taking us at random
Rise Rasta rise, the system can never shut us down.
Pretty soon we shall all share the peace and joys
It’s all a matter of internal choice
Right up Mount Zion shall Babylon perish from our anointed voice
Oh yes Babylon...in heaven we shall all rejoice.

Sad pretty girls,
Doing ecstasy
Just to escape from reality.

Seven blunts,
In
Seven inch pumps.
And
Poppin' pills
In
High heels.

Trap
Hip hop
Trance
And
Reggae.
Getting high
To
Euphoric music.

"eat me out
'til I'm no longer
Stressed out"

Smoking marihuana,
Hoping
It'll cure the bulimia.

Three C's,
Coffee
*******
Caviar,
Show up to the party
In high fashion.

Sad pretty girls
Go to the bathroom together to
Snort lines
And
Smoke marihuana
In the handicap stalls.

There's an empty hole inside
Sad pretty girls' soul
That they fulfill with drugs
To become
Happy pretty girls.
And maybe not forever,
Just for a little while.
Anyways,
Forever doesn't exist.
So doesn't happiness.

My car is on the fritz
My girlfriend has the flu
My boyfriend can't talk to me
What am I to do?

I don't want marihuana
I don't want to drink
It's dead on Hello Poetry
What am I to think?

I'd listen to some music
Or maybe just chill out
I don't want to know
What the heck it's all about

Why should I be bored?
There are still the stars
I can play connect-the-dots
From Jupiter to Mars!

My lil 'magination
Is just like kodakrome
I can leave my body
Let my spirit roam...

But I'm just too lazy
It's all too much to take
So I guess I'll raid the fridge

And eat left-over cake.
Bored. Guess that means I'm
Also boring. Lol!
She was a crazy catholic lady
With a crucifix dangling from a chain round her neck
Cheap Jesus pieces in her earlobes and
On her fingers, twisted against her wrist
The symbol of Christ's suffering and death
Molded in less than precious metals
To show allegiance to the cause
To prove membership in the club

I told her I was an alien
From a planet I pointed to
(Which was actually a star but she didn't know any better)
I gave some obviously typical dry science fiction name to the orb from where I came
A red planet,heated year round by hell fire
And the coup de grace
The people from my planet worship Satan and God

She took most of what I had to relate in comparative stride
Until I got to the part about worshipping the debbil
Then she began to moan ang groan about second thoughts
But second thoughts weren't part of my plan

"It's lunch time ,guys. They've got liver and onion on the buffet and it's going to be delicious"

"But O Holy One. We are not carnivores. We are Here to feast on all the bugs that have made themselves comfortable.

O Holy One did yet another double take and saw me bending down seeking out insects.
What she didn't see was Neolithic alone In the grounds area planting gummy bears and gummi worms and other insect  like critters. Insects like you .

When the arbolic lady sits I the grounds shelter she can't help but spot some of those cray college pestle shoot firsrms inside their belly
Just looking for tha pillowcase. ( that's where it was)

Catholic lady stared into that uncanny stew I did, too, and all the aliens with perhaps we shouldn't have been so cocky at first we soo began to respect the wagonmaster

One last gesture for the catholic lady
She sat across the room obviously devising plans of what to do when we got home
Home sweet himi took a magic marker
And drew a huge upside down pentagram acroo the whole of my palms
They didn't look like tats that were inked for fun or for hell
Theft tats. Were reminders of to WHOM you belonged.

I opened my hand, turned around and waved. It at her, a beautifully drawn Baphomet head smack dad center of my so realistic it looked like it might slide off of my skin and back to the loving arms of Boris Karloff.

The gummi bears were delicious
It was hard to pretend I was chomping a nasty X Y or Z, which were made an entirely horrendous smelling concoction for their entry but had almost become disqualified when it was found that she harbored secret  ideas. She's willing to talk about them on the phone.

Now he's here 5:00: o'clock early making soft, simple subliminal suggestions lull in conversation and I don't think anyone is individually off the hook for this nonsensse.

Catholuc girl saw his pentagram palm and almost had heart attack as well,I don't want to di early of hreart disease so I  hope it's some good old marihuana that gets us thru this hellish lost weekend


He didn't want to go stay with his parents but he did anyway dragging corpses behind him and begging the "old boy" to show him again how the **** never goes down. He heel used, martyred, confused

Catholic girl told my whole routine to the doctor. He thought it mildly humorous but felt obligated to be with
Her, she sufferers and her mind really reeled...she thought I ate bugs for dinner, what else was I telling the truth about?    Casting Crowns couldn't stay for our encore. We didn't expect them to,

*I feel compelled to point out that this piece was written directly after taking my nightly 10mg dosage of Ambien. I suffer from chronic insomnia and after several years I can attest that it works. I may be addicted but that's better than sleep deprivation, as I see it. If you have taken Ambien, or know someone who takes it, I don't have to tell you that it has strange properties. For instance, I have been known to have complete conversations with people who were not there while Ambien was working and have to beg my wife to tell me what I said because there will be no memory of it whatsoever. It's as if a portion of my subconscious  has been tapped into and what's coming out is stuff I'd never say in my waking moments. Weird things, silly things, funny noises... Lately I've begun typing out poetry on my iPhone before falling asleep. It's a good way to clear my head. This particular poem went on longer than I had planned and apparently I nodded off a couple of times while still in the process of typing. This is why some of the poem seems to make no sense...at least it doesn't on this level, I think there are connections to the subconscious being made. It's the closest thing to "automatic writing" that I've ever experienced personally and no, I didn't remember what I'd written until reading it the next day. *
Bendito sea Dios, porque inventó el silencio,
y el chirrido de la chicharra,
y el lagarto de fastuoso traje verde,
y la brasa hipnotizadora
(horizontal crepúsculo pudo haberla llamado
don Pedro Calderón de la Barca en el declive del Barroco).
Bendito sea Dios que inventó el agua
el agua sobre todo.

Bendito sea Dios porque inventó el amanecer
y el balido que lo poblaba.
Ahora vuelvo a escuchar aquella melodía.
El arroyo arpegiaba sobre cantos rodados,
hacía el contrapunto.
Suena el concierto en mi memoria.
O puede que se trate
de una música diferente:
la que escuchó, primero, entre los arrayanes de Granada
Federico García Lorca,
y luego aquí, rescatada,
en Columbia University.

Bendito sea Dios que inventó los prodigios
que contaba mi padre
perfumado de espliego y de tomillo.
Eran historias de ciudades mágicas
en las que el agua circulaba
por venas de metal, agua caliente y fría
(nos lo contaba al borde del regato,
helado en el invierno, seco en estío:
«Venga, a lavarse, coño, guarros».
Y obedecíamos).

Bendito sea Dios que inventó la cabra -la cabra
que rifaba por los pueblos-
mucho antes que Pablo Picasso,
con barriga de cesto de mimbre
y tetas como guantes de bronce.
Maldito sea Dios porque inventó el estaño
parpadeante del olivo,
ramas y tronco de Laoconte,
y aquella sombra trágica de catafalco y oro:
un rayo congelado en la mano siniestra
y en la diestra un crepúsculo.
Maldito sea Dios porque inventó a mi padre
colgado de una rama del olivo
poco después de recogerse la aceituna.
No puedo perdonárselo.
Pero eso fue más tarde.
Antes fueron los niños.
Bendito sea Dios que inventó aquellos niños,
vestidos como príncipes o pájaros.
Con voces de cristal, «Papá», decían a su padre.
Bendito sea Dios por inventar una palabra
milagrosa, jamás oída,
y su padre correspondía
con vaharadas de ternura.

Maldito sea Dios, porque yo quise
arrezagarme en la ternura
pronunciando la mágica palabra
entonces descubierta. «¿Papá?» «Mariconadas,
si te la vuelvo a oír te llevas una hostia».

Bendito sea Dios porque inventó los años,
1970, 1980, 1990...,
inventó el fuego, el oro viejo
de los arces de otoño,
y estos ríos profundos como penas,
largos como el olvido o el recuerdo,
hospitalarios, generosos,
por los que la ciudad va navegando
hasta la mar, que es el morir.

Bendito sea Dios que inventó libros sabios.
Se daba nombre en ellos
a lo que antes no lo tenía.
Bendito sea Dios porque inventó licenciaturas
masters, campus con risas y con marihuana,
laboratorios y celebraciones
con cantos en latín, gaudeamus igitur, ,
todo situado en niveles distintos del tiempo.

Bendito sea Dios que inventó la memoria
y que inventó el silencio de este lugar aséptico,
y las venas metálicas ocultas
en las que el agua espera
unas manos liberadoras que les devuelvan su canción.
Ahora sé que mi padre está vengado.
Mi padre, descolgado del olivo
pronuncia con mis labios las palabras totémicas,
y se estremece este recinto sagrado.
«Coño, joder, carajo, a lavarse la cara, hostias».
Y abro los grifos, lavabos, duchas, retretes,
se desbordan las aguas que él soñaba
en la choza de adobe y paja
cantan la gloria de la recuperación,
y mi padre navega por las aguas,
le provoco, gritándole desconsolado.
«¡Papá!». «Mariconadas», me contesta.
ahogado, recuperado,
navegante por los canales de oro,
vivo ya para siempre.

The Soho lights
Were shining like an electric lobster
I was thinking what an Edmonton boy
Should do-
As punk rockers smoked marihuana
In small corners
Shadows danced a routine that was choreographed
                                                   ­         In hell-
And glue, speed and alcohol blended into humidity
Eerybody knew God had no recognition
                                         For this recondite humanity
I thought about something else............

Life became static blind
Drunken dreads were jostling in plastic conversation
****** out of their minds-
There became a powerful flow of left-wing
Political notion-
The stale scent of a previous saviour
Became more obvious and universal
Reggae pounded into the trashed idealism
Like an anti-septic commercial
And thoughts of EXODUS and the bible
We became victims of a faith reversal
But there will will be cold solace in this
For the gloved left fist.

I thought of distant times
Where reality wiped out role models
As their dreams vanished into hallocinogenic fungi.
Henry Brooke Dec 2015
Long walks under the sun.
Tender brains in unsure men,
A breeze caresses the pines
A rocky ocean shore below
Nothing to do,
Just somewhere to go.

Red shirts, marihuana, alcohol.
Friendship and love
Blossoming through time,
Piercing
The blue sky dressed above
By some superintendent devil's.
For these memories
Act like drugs
On my depressed brain now.

It was long ago,
Yet I'm still here.
That church eating away the
Sunlight, had a christ with no legs
Three years later I understand.
Memories are echos,
We hear them clear
We know deep inside what we
Want to hear
But the shore gets higher
And longer and wide
The sound is now a Cowbell, or a stain,
A dead mouse and
her dry dead remains,
A footstep in sand that left
before I said it could.

Which sunk into the sea,
before I wished it should.

What are we left with
When we feel regret?
I feel
like I've let something go,
Somehow, and what?
How can I know

So I linger here
On my empty bed,
Without any happiness
And blood in my head
Those red shirts popping
everywhere I feel
I am abandonned
Buried away
I shouldn't shouldn't have hurried
I should have stayed.

Yet it's all over,
Those men are gone.
They're out on the ocean
Singing new songs.

When satan is nye
Wild wheat is ****
Human is animal
Friendship is seed
I'm so depressed right now. Thinking about the good old days.

— The End —
