“Staying Gold?!!?”

JFK, Joy, Love, Peace

Gold of Youth

Before the fall is the example to all;
Before we sinned, we sensed with
five senses everything we did, and
we smiled the free smile of innocence.

We must go back… How can it be done?

Is the return possible, in the smile
of another? A “forlorn and shipwrecked
brother,” who upon seeing you,
sees him or herself, takes “heart again,”
you make friends.

We make amends.

Can a government go back, and
apologize for JFK? MLK? RFK?

Vietnam? Naming a library “Nixon” and
funding it?

Simple changes can make a difference.
Call it “The National Crime Library”
and I’d surely visit…

De-classify all the documents, air the
laundry, admit when we err, and let us
grieve together the assassinations
of Peace-seekers.

Meanwhile to the War-monger I
reach out my hand… I love you, man,
and you cringe and call us homophobic
names for cigarettes and burning logs.

You cringe because you reject what
Daddy never gave you. You resent,
now, what Mom could not supply, and
instead of expressing love:

You drink alcohol and linger in
homicidal suicidal states of mind,
laughing like Beavis and Butthead in
a circle jerk of pot smoke and hidden
regret.

You want to do more, but the mountain
to climb out of pain seems too high,
too great, so let’s get high—

But I tell you now: It’s not too late.

Turn around. Justice Department:
turn around… Make this country less like
a joke, more like a newborn child.

Strive for good, be bold, and when we
err, admitting and laughing is better than
that scared proud circle of pot…

Bothering the neighbors, lying to the
press, creating your own media branch
to cloud more and more people with your
lies… You think you can hide, but the truth
is never closer than the guilt that burns
inside—let it out!!

And let us heal. And so let us return
to the Gold of Youth. Reborn, we see
no enemies but fear, FDR had something
there—

And we shake hands and die, so the truth
may in the morning sunlight live, grow, die
and live—

Die and Live, die and live, die
To Live

Joy, Love, Peace

Christian Subversive

I am not mainstream. I used
to be, gobbled up what you see,
a bank there, a school here;

Some day that school will feed
my 9 to 5 lack of beard.

Then I got sober…

Mainstream must be Jesus’
wide path to destruction, where
sadly, many are heading…

I am not this, not that, I still
get money from Mom and Dad—
only fair perhaps, because my
bright childhood flame
was doused with bourbon and water,
on Dad’s lap I sold my soul
to fire—

The Devil a rainbow sold
in the gold of clinking glasses, a blast from
the stinking past is… what it is:

God grant us peace, as we go from
here to do your bidding, I’m not
kidding I started a ministry when homeless
try that on for winning.

Peace, truth, the universal me and you;

God give us all and nothing less
The wisdom to know we don’t know;
the Power to give it away to you
so that we may enjoy our days
worry free, that weight off backs
no more.

I’m off the mainstream now,
A Christian subversive spouting
revolution because the status quo
doesn’t work for me.

Give kids the vote, America, disarm
Police men and women, Thou
Shalt Not Kill is still a commandment
to adhere to guys and gals, there’s
no amendment to it that says
“Justified homicide” or “in-policy”
murder.

Ahh! Don’t look at me for punishment,
look at Raskolnikov, the Devil hiding
God in your heart leaving you
to suffer when doing wrong, you run—

You cannot escape your punishment
as long as guilt still dines on the guts
of regret.

You will die yet; or choose eternal life,
come with me down the true path,
the hard but truth test, the no need
for bullet proof vest got a cross
on my chest, back and forth in
and out redress of past wounds in frilly
dresses, yes, and I’m:

A revolutionary without a gun,
call me Bill in print or cursive:

Call me Christian subversive.

happy-year-3848864__480

Every year I used to recollect and
reflect upon the truth and “what it
seems” of all things.

Friends are my teachers, and we take
long walks with journals and push until
the envelope bends to breaking point.

Send it…

Truth’s ironic, the mundane poetic
as we let go of sounds and
“sounds like” in place of pain,
inventing sadness out of rain
much in the way rainbows calm clouds
out of hiding, resulting in misty gold.

Onion rings, things and peace, from
atop South American jungle waterfalls
the truth it rings, and so the balls drop
off of buildings, and we check another Roman
calendar—it makes sense, the suns
and planets doing their thing, ours to record.

Chuckling to connect dots we take
words and take them apart, ones that
never knew they rhymed together chime their
butterfly wing alarms, ride off into the sunset,
lovers at last. We pick up an old book, watch an
old movie, hear an old song and are sure we
must have been married to a different life
before.

Reincarnation’s not for me to expound
as another year goes down, the last of this exploding
in illegal fireworks down the street.

I’ve seen, heard and felt the fragrance
of laughter, the scent of forever in moments
as dead as light in a cave to a submarined
revolutionary thought.

We must come to the surface.

The unity is bound to be what it was always,
descending from a Higher Power. Because we are
so different, the need for one center will drive
the nations forward in prayer as we collect
data, scrape and dust, re-create our day
a smile of hope lighting the way…
the cave opened, the vessel its lighthouse
shining, the connections more and more
evident until…

Until….

Stuck in eternity we cannot improve the
world, Lao Tsu was right, but we’ll try,
and in that says Dickens’ Mrs. Chick we’ve done
enough to be alive.

“Yeah,” says Wyatt Earp, a quick belch
from Mary Poppins call it a burp, a spoonful of
sweet remembering cancels out the quenching
fire of nothing, making it everything.

The same thing. Happy New Year, Borges.

Summing Up JFK — Halftime…

Conspiracy, Conspiracy Theory, JFK, Joy, Love, Peace, Truth

Conspiracy Fact

The Devil wants everybody dead,
instilled the fear to kill first in
many, and revels in your secret
society, the darker—the more robes
and chanting, the better.

Give the Devil, fear, an inch and
he’ll take ten miles, let that
cat of its bag—watch it run amuck
all over this planet, Truman named
it the CIA.

God bless information, and defending
borders—I always said our borders
are like a front door. “Knock, knock”
then “Who is it?” And if they be friend
open up, let them pass, God bless them
and you for the welcome mat.

If you sense evil or violence at your
door, who do you call?

The temptation is for fighting fire
with fire, pre-emptive strikes—use force.

But I’ve seen more done with prayer,
ministry and love, than fear’s hate,
“hatred leads to suffering,” Yoda reminded,

So the game is still “good” and “evil,” still
the same deal; growing up you just realize
the fallibility of every human being—

And every human gathering, social group,
political organization, government!!

All fallible, all faulty, all capable of good
and bad.

I used to think such a large group of people
in space called the United States of America
and its government must be right!!

Um… not so much. We are like any
other nation.

The wisest nation realizes this, and looks
to Higher Power still, for guidance and
direction.

The Ten Commandments STILL are good;
Killing and bearing false witness against
thy neighbor STILL bad!!!

Crimes are punished not principally
and most importantly by us, but by
God, conscience, karma, dharma,

And if you step back as Lao Tsu suggests,
you will enjoy this world more—

Knowing we cannot change it.

This was supposed to be about
John F. Kennedy and his murder—
those who committed it still “running”
our country.

I am running after them, not to
murder back, but to minister, to shine
a light, fall in love again with truth,
and take them with me to Betty Ford
and beyond where I’ve been lucky enough
to go.

To share my spiritual awakening with fear
itself: Skull and Bones not knowing it’s
evil, just waiting for a better idea.

Truman’s covert getting caught, and Cuba
being freed, I love my right wing southern
white drawlers, who grew up shooting guns
and fighting because that’s what Daddy did.

He also went to church, Dad did, and good
fought with evil—faith with fear—in him as well.

I don’t know if he won or lost there, but
you could win by putting your gun down,
and if the fighting continues you’ll have to
take one on the cheek as Jesus taught, then
give your other cheek.

Watch the fear run for the hills, when you
embrace pain as part of all things, a path to
joy.

Lies abound, and that’s a conspiracy fact,
so many lies supporting the business of government
that it seems impossible to go back and mend
our broken fences, like JFK.

So the Justice Department keeps lying, supporting
the Coup of 1963, for the truth is too scary,
could “mean my job;” I’m just hanging on here
to life, isn’t that enough?

God wants our truth, you do too, and your awakening
awaits the moment you let the guard down,
let them enter your house (say a prayer first),
recall something good in your life, like youth.

Perhaps you missed it, I have drank it away,
but it’s never too late.

Dallas Police, Justice Department, FBI, CIA,
Johnson, Nixon, and the Bush family God
Bless You…

Tell the truth, and be set free.

Yale’s youth, bewitched in dark roomed
cliques, God bless you…

Tell the truth, and be set free.

U.S. Armed Forces stand down, and
wait for commands from New York;
there’s a World Peace outlet at work
there.

Jesus

Put Your Guns Down…

Put it Down

I guess we all have to live our
own lives, make mistakes—
fall on our face, we must
learn our own way and can’t
or won’t always be taught another…

We come from where we come
from, some are book smart or dumb,
others with street savvy, others can
ride a horse, know what to do in
a barn—

Still others work on a farm, and the
city slicker like me’d be lost
outside the city… until found.

Like a Frost poem from long ago
we are called to what we’re called to,
I hope you find your way from ground
to air to ground, over rivers and snow;
the journey that’s life takes what it takes,

and gives when it can, evil fighting good
and vice versa, Tao Te Ching still yelling
out “you cannot change the world,” and yet
we try and we try and we try,
‘cause that’s our job.

The pacifist calls the military man,
asks does he want a show, because
“I dream to love you guys anyway,
your choice not being mine, but maybe
by us mixing we’ll learn from each other—
be fine.”

And the comic visits military bases,
and the world looks more and more like
the charter from the United Nations…

The U.S. finally gives up its Covert Operations
because you can’t rightly shake hands
with your brother, steal the cash from
his underwear drawer, and be ethical
all at once.

Something’s gotta give, and maybe
it’s that military boy after the show,
having heard some words he liked
He wonders why Dad never told
him so…

Life, what a mess—sometimes to figure
it out you gotta be Elliot Ness, Wyatt Earp
or Lao Tsu—

Someone knew but shhh! The FBI is listening,
the good part of the CIA taking notes,
the bad being forgotten as Obama with heart

Welcomes the Cubans back to the dinner
table. It’s not about agreeing all the time.

Tolerance good enough and that brings
in Mary:

“Enough is as good as a feast.”

Well then, ready to drop your gun?

Put it down, next to mine, let’s you
and I get a pad out and make a schedule
for today—

16 hours to kill—

Scratch that. 16 hours without killing,
without assaulting, without something
to get in the way of contented sleep,
maybe go for a walk and read, do some work,
housework is fine.

Force times distance keeping us
six feet above the end, so that we
can be friends and sleep.

see ya in 8

U.N. Apology

14 Sunday Dec 2014

Joy, Love, Peace, United Nations

We apologize for starting you
and not believing in you.

We apologize for the insane
nationalism of certain
scared rich Americans, who fear
“war on our soil” so bring it
preemptively to foreign regions.

Illegal is irrelevant to the silver-
spooned Ivy League “entitled.”

Bush family secrets, Skull and Bone
sinister eggs hatching in the
heart of the Beast.

American lives bought and sold—
lost and killed, CIA covert squads,
so sad, the Warren Commission
overseeing Kennedy’s case biased
and set on revenge for Ike’s
Bay of Pigs gone wrong, the fired-
by-Kennedy CIA head a member!!

I got bounced from jury duty for less
interest conflicted, Kennedy
assassinated over and over again with
each Chief sworn in on his grave.

Politics here a joke, signatures or money
to get on a ballot—IDEAS?? Shoved to
oblivion are concepts, that fear of
loss driving evil forward, away from peace—

From taking it on the cheek and giving
also the other cheek to hit, we used
to be a Christian nation.

But we warred, and having been hurt
enough, we gathered with you in ‘45
and charted a peaceful path. Mouths
moving while covert operations got
ratified by the atomic bomb-dropper
himself in ’47.

Covert operations with no checks and balances
from the people between the President
and untold violence.

“National Security” and patriotism touted
as fear is raised in red, white and blue.

Skull and Bone capes and robes swearing
silence as we guard truth, stamp it
“classified” and pitch to the people
“safety” and unity—

We’ve been had.

Smile, it’s worse that it seems, the Devil
cluttering our dreams; violence
and sports, violent sports, violence as
sport, and then more knocking on your
door asking for your support.

Say “no,” Americans, until Election
Reform supplants the garbage seeking
self now at the head of our country’s table.

An apology within an apology now
may I make to the U.N. for using this
apology to implore Americans to be better.

That is not your fault, our straying and needing
to be better, but let’s call it our
mutual concern that every nation
strive to improve on our way to
the pageant’s common goal year after
year of World Peace.

Please, I offer our faults for you to
correct, and I turn our government in to
you to observe at will. To decide our fate.

We shall have a vote but not more than
one, like any nation.

Our nationalism, the “covert” diabolical
side to CIA—should now and forever
be made ILLEGAL.

May we from now forward abolish
the backdoor, hidden policy in favor
of the front door.

May we come out of our closet to
shake the world’s hand.

Cuff us ’til this happens;
we are criminals, and I—

We I hope. Are sorry

Joy, Love, Peace, United Nations

National Security

What happened to World Peace?
We ended a war in ’45 to create
the United Nations to ensure World
War would never again return.

But if we go to the meetings,
we selectively listen, and only
sometimes go along with a U.N.
resolution.

Ethnocentric, Team America we’re
better than others-itis has us thinking
too much, thinking, thinking that if we
don’t take care of it—

No one will.

Cocky, arrogant, distrusting, control-
freaking. We are scared; a backlash from
that ‘40’s war, the fear keeps running
and running, the Republicans holding
tight to money and status,

Democrats trying to break it down,
re-distribute the wealth. All sides
forget John Nash’s addition to proper
capitalism, that being the caring for the
group—not just “me.”

Makes the whole thing go better—

I WANT TO HAND SECURITY OVER
TO BLUE HELMETS!!!! Tired of U.S.
army green and desert tan getting killed
and killing, songs being sung at sporting
events where more helmets clash
and crash, concussions ringing bells,
calling Jesus’ wide path-walkers to
Hell.

Blue helmets, the United Nations, the
product of many brainstorming and
decision-making sessions, not one
President’s intuition. The CIA must scale
back, no more backhanded covert crap
we’re done!!

I appreciate the hard times that brought
on tough measures, but how far can
one go justifying murder, the JFK
files still hidden so that sons and daughters
of corrupt presidents can sleep in CIA-
secured mansions.

No names tarnished, we can celebrate
our heroes as the truth walks into
a New York U.N. session. A small country’s
delegate, an African minister, a British
colony freed sends an officer to speak,
and they speak Peace. And they cross
a U.S. delegate claiming War as our great
Right!

The U.N. charter rocked, taking blows from
its host, hangs on against “National Security”
remarks—the blue and white flag waving proud into
the night, the nations getting stronger
as a poem fed by time and pain becomes suddenly
relevant as dawn to the homeless:

“World Security” is greater, the delegation
says, as the U.S. shakes its head. So young, so
Dumb, so proud, we are a child as petulant
as peace itself fighting its war through those
chambers…

We fight, the alcoholic on its way to
the bottom, and I a minister of God
only pray:

God,

Help us to see back to the Way,
Humility an asset not liability,
Listening as good as talking;

Rid us from Self and selfish
thoughts and actions.
Now!!

Amen, World, Amen,

My president is You.

The CIA

Joy, Love, Peace, The CIA

Forged in war, the bombs dropped
and “intelligence” was born.

Funded by us, but controlled by
who knows what, the cold war
instrument of the 1940’s still runs
and runs, the last major figure to go
up against them:

John F. Kennedy, and he paid for that
with his life.

The CIA, Central Intelligence Agency,
ratified by a death squad president
responsible for the only atomic attack
on humanity.

Impatient and scared, we look to
duck and deceive, hide our cards because
we don’t trust anyone—

Especially ourselves.

We have lost touch with our values, John
Adams and Franklin went to France, yes,
sought help and information, yes.

But religion was in their lives, and to spy
beneath them.

“What about spying in times of war?”

Your war is yours, never mine, two wrongs
don’t make a right, the “war” ending when
one side, not two—put arms aside and declare
peace.

Sure, when you stop fighting, you take blows
on the cheek, but there’s more peace,
More Peace.

They come through the back door, the honest
through the front. They avoid eye-contact
as the honest shake hands.

From the CIA motto:

“Preempt threats and further
U.S. national security objectives
by collecting intelligence that
matters, producing objective
all-source analysis…”

Good, good, that sounds good!!

Then:

“…conducting effective covert action
as directed by the President, and
safeguarding the secrets that help
keep our Nation safe.”

Bad, bad, that sounds illegal—
and should be.

The World Crashes

Kennedy shot, the victors sworn
in again and again until I’m
born in the middle of a haze
of Watergates and gold medals.

We won the peace from Britain,
got a chance to “run” our country,
always bickering but there was hope,
and indeed “God” was spoken
of and accepted, regardless of religion
attached.

“Mind your own business,” the first
message on currency, then in
God we trust, Good and Evil still
the game, no matter what occupations
occupied the country.

My haze.

I woke up yesterday and realized a final
blow to my theory that something
good entertained and enhanced my past.

The girls must’ve been allright, the middle
school dances—something was pure, right?

No one ever calls me anymore, those days
are gone, I’ve retained one friend from school,
most of its theories and lessons dashed.

“Sports” were touted as so good, people in
general were either good or bad,
despite Jesus’ protest at the young
man approaching, calling him “Good teacher!”

Only God is good.

Sports were microcosms, indeed, good
for analogy? But hard on the back, and
shoulders, and knees, and need I get into
American football? A real headache.

Good grades, performance on the field.

Alcohol wasn’t really that bad to drink—
look at our parents. Look at those
commercials, those hot girls.

How were we going to talk with them
unless buzzed?

No one to guide us or tell us the
truth, we were too big for Jeff Bridges,
Dude this was a fight we could not win,
a war waged within,

Death awaited my best friends… I, and I
did not die, but I tried, and escape overdose
everynight, injuries from the past light up
the sky only in poetry driving me
on to explore the Kennedy killers.

When that corrupt, stay away, but every
once in a while I approach the lion’s den
with guidance learned from bible study—

It’s called “ministry.” Police, war, guns
they need Fathers:

Son, still it is true that if you live by violence
you shall die by it. God bless you—

Love, William

A Vision

Joy, Love, Peace

Good and Evil Still

We complicate the complicated,
think we know…

We all want to see keys, the language
or vision that encompasses “it,” that
thing John Wooden and I call
Peace of Mind.

What clinches the game played between
right and wrong, safe and unsafe?

The old answers still swirl, Charles Dickens’
Mrs. Chick calling for effort, Lao Tsu
calling louder from the other side
of Christ:

We cannot change the world!!

So should we try anyway? Wyatt
Earp said yes, there are times to
say “No!!” Stop doing that, alcohol
being pitched as a social drink to
young people through TV’s, flammable
toxic substances (and some deny
the Devil’s existence!).

An un-funny joke laughs at my
lost Spring; I turn back at my past
seeing two things, sports and alcohol

And I limp, and I limp, and my shoulder
hurts, and I watch movies from 1984
and remember my friends I never
anymore see, the girls I failed to be
honest with, the failure—

Now a smile, because Truth is its
own proud success!!

A perfectly worn dress, a nutshelled
realization that only good and evil
exist. Take your pick, have a God to
help you, and may you find
Peace of Mind.

God, help us forgive the wrongs, the
confusion that baffles the hurt
to vengeance sometimes consciously
carried, sometimes not.

God love us in our faults, help us
turn around:

Folks, the message is still the same…

Truth, it starts with truth, tell someone
the truth and let go
