On Friday night

Ponder writing

Some prose tonight !

Brothers

Adolescent boys shared blood

Back of the wrist to back of the wrist

A common razor sliced delicate thin lines into youth

Two scars, parallel brothers, sit side by side still connected after a lifetime

How can someone be owned ones thoughts, ones feelings, ones tears or ones existence by a person who is blind of it and might never come to see how fucked up you are for him?

Yes, as I read this I see how screwed I am for him.

My Best Friend

She slowly falls asleep, her head on my chest, laying in my arms. When she wakes we laugh through the day. At night she falls on my chest,

in my arms again. Till tomorrow...

Sell Out

I'm conflicted between right and wrong

Left sided politics and conservative religion--- Bipartisanship

No one makes decisions.

I'm tryna break through capitalism

In meetings at fancy dinners

Ain't that a contradiction?

Should I run for congress

Or a dream of being famous

A human, dehumanized by critics

It's all the same based on your intentions.

Terrorist of my own mind

To blown up all my limits

The skies see no ceilings

Between a thousand and a million

Between an ego and my feelings

Between the truth and a gimmick

Just to live the "American Dream"

I can sell out right now...

I can sell out right now

Indian Jungle - July 2007

It's midnight, pitch-black yet the air is full of life, and I find myself venturing down a Himalayan foothill, in northeast India, to enter a temple (celebrating Lord Vishnu) in the middle of the jungle - and 30 minutes before we arrive, Kripal informs me, casually, that "there are tigers in these woods, but nobody has been killed by one ever since the sacrifice to Lord Shiva 50 years ago, so you are safe."
