REVEILLE (SpokenWord#10)

The Streets are my Boulevard

How luxurious Freedom rings
Rodeo Drive
"Never heard of such a place?"
Its my liberty 
to feel safe, my Right
for peace of mind
to reach for the Divine
If unworthy we'll take face
our victories 
with not one life harmed

But witness I am
this : 
Un-Learned Rolling Stone
Educate myself in moss
Shade  
Moist  
Soft

Here we are...
The desert is scalding
like teachers lacking heart
"to love thy neighbor of no future?"
Here the dry breath of the angry Sun
Radiation
Killer
Photon Rays 
Dystopian Evolution's 
Self-Fulfilling
Prophets See

All that the eye can 
See the life 
always around you
this rock beneath your feet
or the same rock that you throw
we seem to only harm our own
under one dome
made of glass 
rockets are the stones
knew clear lessons
mistakes linger longer in the bone
we are mutations...

Hot selfish tumors
"Lead pipe meet knee bone"
            Parasites / Warzone
Welcome to your life
make your skin hard   sharp   knife
"This here is the Streets!
of finest things my boulevard"
A business sense
A nose for that kind of Think

Let Freedom ring! 
and rape and hustle and Guns--cop--killings
Projects: CHI-raq
Home-schools where the teachers are the fools
No equality without the tools...

But Home is Now a luxury Nowadays
slaves of industry
Rodeo Drive and Human Greed
The place where we die
when our lives
Meaning
Less
Nothing
This personal-Space-
crowded                      ship.

Home in the stars
to the higher halls 
of Nirvana Valhalla Zion Eye of Ra'ja "Oh My God!"
How lovely and true
the feeling of Love
but Heaven on Earth...? 
(excuse you)

In the carcasses of casualties
these Streets stir-fry
Graveyard especiale!
Boulevard sunsets, 
                          moon-shadows
Long upon the pier
Ferris Wheels and Carousels 
Rich Santa's    (Barbaras, Monicas, Ana, and Fe)
Californication

Welcome to your so called Life
where Ignorance & Silence 
kill the Lights / Out 
Wake up First call / 
homebase

Reveille! 

Unveil. Reveal.                    
(Wake up)
                         Your humanity in this race...
Reveille!
