Valleys and Peaks (a poem by Jack)

The shadows admire the light so.. 

For without the light they cease to exist, they lose all individuality and become swallowed by the dark..no matter what animosity they display.. They adore the light and also feel spite because their survival directly correlates..

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.. I remain detached as if a blank slate.. I float through and see the reactions.. 

It’s the reactions that are so convincing..

The visceral on the faces.. The hatred in the eyes.. The betrayal behind the smiles..

If I were a blank slate before.. Who am I to believe I am now? Is it me that provokes these responses.. Or is it them.. Certainly I’m the source.. The licentious provocateur!

But it’s the ease and the comfort of the vibrations that keeps me going.. The soothing word.. Inaudible.. But comforting.. It can not be interpreted only reacted upon.. I am like that word.. They comprehend me not but I provide plenty to react to…

I provide both source and inspirations.. But still I walk.. With uncertainty.. Although the prophecy has been written.. I can’t walk by faith because that’s a product of the mind.. I only can walk… And vibe.. And be…  And death is there, adjacent to my life, simply a revolving corridor that leads into itself.. Yet I walk through this valley.. Preparing myself to climb to the peak of the mountain top..

At some point this blank slate has filled in.. Will fill in.. Yet, with what.. The projections of others? Or the interpretations of said projections? I prepare myself.. Stop, reflect and realize maintaining who I am is all I need to reach the apex.. Nothing but what I am is of necessity..

philistine God.. (A poem by Jack Stuper)

There’s nothing wrong with it,because that’s how they live… I mean you fight it initially because it’s sick… It’s unnatural… But you slowly become desensitized.. The obscure becomes a place called home… The obscene proves a reference of familiarity…

You become that which you once feared.. 

I’ve survived many generations.. I’ve seen many men fight the monster.. Run from the monster.. But eventually she always wins out.. You either join her or become devoured.. There is no room for anything less..

I’ve seen others scold me for pointing out the monster.. I’ve been ridiculed for not sacrificing myself to the monster.. I’ve been made to feel ashamed or less than a man because of Her..

She’s swallowed souls whole and spit out the hallow remains.. I’ve shaken hands with lifeless men.. Men who believed they live to die and nothing more..

Yes,a dichotomy me she is.. A simple duality she mirrors…Because she is the source of pestilence.. Yet the purveyor of all comfort and happiness given.. But it’s at a price… It’s always at a price… Most don’t know themselves so what they give is of know value..

But as I’ve stated.. I’ve lived plenty generation.. And I know that she can’t survive without us… She can’t survive without us.. But you can’t survive without her.. Least all but the  deviant has been led to believe..

Duller and duller the senses grow.. The philistine population grows exponentially.. They fight for her.. They kill for her.. They die for her.. 

I lay down with Wisdom every night and pillow talk.. Why.. I ask.. How.. I ask..

Watch she says… Be patient she says..

But how long must I witness… How many generations must be devoured before enough is enough..

The heart of the philistine is valiant.. Yet so is the soul of the righteous..

Dreams ask why? (A poem by Jack)

When your heroes crash and burn… When all you admired turns cold and lifeless…

What hope do you have?
Beyond ideology lies chaos and anarchy… Is this why we fear ourselves…and must be ruled by words…
Do words formulate the perimeters of dreams or do dreams provide impetus for words and word of mouth alike..

What happens to a person that is conscious with their own dream..conscious within their own dream.. Or consciously aware of one’s dream..or consciously living a dream?

Do you continue to walk with the illusion.. Within the illusion.. As part of the illusion..
Do you figure away out.. Do figure away to change the illusion.. Do you reside in cohabitation with.. Are you the illusion?
Perhaps you ask yourself.. For what reason is this illusion present.. Do I need it or does it need me more.. And if I’m in so much control.. Why can’t I end this.. All of it.. 
My mind is my God, because all it perceives is all I know? Then that would make my mind the purveyor off all that is evil… 
There is everything to fear when hope no longer exist..not from you of course.. Because disillusionment leads to liberty.. Or at least the way towards liberation becomes illuminated..
But that which controls the illusion has most to lose…
And you have everything to (re)gain..

life…. Is life.. Regardless.. (A poem by Jack)

Through clear eyes.. I see the guilt and anguish that haunts your soul..

I would tell you that you’ve been forgiven.. but both you and I know that already..
And for some reason you are unabsolved..
The forgiveness will never be accepted until you forgive yourself.. Until then, the guilt will guide your path.. Like quicksand the more you struggle.. The further you fall within yourself.. Sucking you under.. Your soul .. Your guilt.. Your purpose.. All become indistinguishable.. Just a muck..
Does fate hold you accountable.. Perhaps it was the perfect triangulation of events.. Perhaps it was this souls specifications to encounter an origin of this nature.. Although we may not be like others.. We were never meant to be alike anyway.. So let me conquer my journey and you conquer yours.. But you can’t escape the quicksand and get back to going where you need to go.. Until you forgive yourself.. This is a self imposed prison.. The only God that has the key..
Is you…

systematic “justice”.. (A poem by Jack)

Rules, just as systems, are meant to be broken…
Voices are ruled disposable..and dispondent… Actions have become almost as meaningless as words.. Just cheap tricks.. A means to barter more attention..
It’s the attention that matters most.. Trapped within the confines of these cold.. Well crafted, calculated boxes… Every man is an island of themselves.. Yet interconnected through the invisible net… We keep ourselves locked away only exposing that which is acceptable.. To the opinions of the information highway..
I created my own prison and I’m enslaved to it… My mind keeps creating patterns.. Thoughts wrapped around thoughts.. Shaping the mind state of a fool..A Fool chasing after a sequence that I can never catch… With no control.. Everything I ask for.. Eventually shows up.. But never timely.. 
Usually by the time they show, I can’t recognize I’ve ever asked for it..
It’s the boxes.. I bang on the boxes.. I want out.. But for every wall I break down two more spring up in its place.. Forever entrapped in this consciousness…
These rules I tell ya… This system I tell ya…

Winds blow and ashes scatter… (A poem by Jack)

I see broken cities and loss tribes in the eyes of my peers.. I see lost traditions on the faces of our youth..

I see abandoned birth rites on the flesh of the unknowing..
I’m left with a sad-bitter taste in my spirit..
I spit the disgust of the unrighteous.. As I sing the peasant songs of my conquers…
I am a conquered people.. But I am a free soul.. Free to go to and forth as I will.. Seeking and understanding the knowledge of my ancestors..
But it doesn’t make me less sad.. And it makes no greater than the next.. Because the flesh of my flesh believes the Anerican Dream is all there is to live for.. Picture that.. A spirit being who’s only purpose is to bring to life a physical abstract..
I hugged the mother of my living.. I merged with the earth’s crust and have an unrestricted covenant with her..It may be unconditional, but there are always conditions with any love.. She accepted me as is, as her protector.. I accepted her as is– a home.. And we merged.. Spirit and earth.. Ashes to ashes.. Dust to dust.. Breath with spirit..
But my memory has been vacated.. Promises annexed… And all has almost been wiped clean.. But deep down inside I know.. I know that I once knew.. And that is what my soul jettisons for…
These tears are only because I may have disappointed earth with my ambitions and greed.. I pray she forgives and ushers me back to righteousness.. The way will be revealed.. I pray we have eyes to see it..
I pray our scattered consciousness collects in the wind..
The blue print is there… Ours minds simply need to be reengineered to read the specs..and follow the way..

Battle of Jericho (a poem by Jack)

Like the castle that sits atop the hill in solitude… This physical body is both fortress and prison… Protecting us from that which seeks to consume our soul.. Yet, also restricting us as a means of protecting us…

Lay siege.. 
An impregnable bulwark… Don’t accept the Trojan horse and sacrifice yourself to your own demise.. They can’t touch you, yet in your current state you can’t free yourself.. A catch 22..
Oh how they want to touch YOU!
Go within yourself.. Ready yourself.. Learn yourself.. Protect your innocence while necessary but eventually you will have to lower your walls.. And bring the fight to them.. Allow the dragon to fly… Allow the dragon to do what dragons do.. It all started from an egg.. The egg is incubating inside you.. Keep egg safe.. Egg will hatch.. Dragon will grow.. They will flee..
But if you allow them in your fortress prematurely.. By.. “Giving your soul to…”
Your demise with be nothing short of inevitable.. For the master of lies has sought to kill.. steal.. And destroy.. By all means necessary.. For energy is energy… Whether it be Creative or Destructive..Do not offer your soul to any… No matter how persuasive their miracle.. Their dogma.. Their rhetoric.. Their logic..
Your fortress is your prison yet it is also only temporary.. Time is but time.. Neither of which last forever..
Can you define what it is… But with a portion of it…
Are you a man? Or is it that but a portion of what it is…
Your fortress is your poetry..and your story is all they desire..

BS unlimited (a poem by Jack)

This is God’s plan it wasn’t mine… So cut the bull shit..

I am God.. So this plan wasn’t mine..
By way of the universe.. A shared orientation… Communed upon by able projections.. By vibrational trajectory.. Through magnetic cosmic speak..
Cut the bull shit..
You control very little.. Only how much you’re willing to suffer..
I am God..
You control it all.. At least in your minds eye..
So cut the bull shit..
What’s it gonna be..
Life or Death..
Pain or misery..
Fear or freedom..
Cut THE BULL SHIT!
Wake up and attest to your Devine presence.. Ignite your Devine spark.. Or forever be overshadowed by that which can’t overshadow a damn thing..
Wake up.. Because you are controlling it all whether you are aware or not.. It’s who is controlling you that needs be your concern..
So cut the BS..

Deaf of a salesman (a poem by Jack)

Let your soul breathe and explore til the times right…while you’re chasing star’s light use earth’s time to get your mind right…

Don’t be alarmed or frantic when she don’t come back.. Rather she will, but with so much new you may no longer knew who she is…
Your soul leaves your body and escapes your mind… When she returns like a thief in the night… You scold her like an adulterous salacious lover.. You make her leave everything at the door… EVERYTHING..
You beat her… You reprimand her.. You destroy her humanity and look what you’re left with..
Look at yourself…
You’ve left her ashamed.. Withdrawn.. In fear.. As an integrated being you allow your desires and logic to drag along a battered and abused soul.. 
As your body fails.. And your mind eats itself with dementia.. What exactly will you be left with? Will you then rely on her to save you?
Will you now allow her to express herself? Will it not be too late?
You will soon find out.. Let your soul explore while the times right… Before she’s trapped in the box until your minds right…

Misplaced (a poem by Jack)

Aloof … The thoughts of the mind traverse with bountiful stride.. Step outside of the sense and into a land of isn’t.. You can’t feel the dew of the grass along the bottom of your feet.. You can’t feel the brisk of the wind creating a chill of goose bumps along your arms.. You can’t smell… You can’t sense the setting.. But for a brief moment it’s like you’re there… But you are not.. I guess that’s why they call it fantasy..

It’s as never good as it ought to be.. When they come true they never live up to what they were..
Fantasies.. 
Now imagine being the lifeblood of another’s fantasy.. Imagine being lost and stuck in another’s fantasy… You can no longer hear.. Feel it.. see yourself… But you know you exist.. Somewhere… Somehow.. Sometime… 
Would this be a cruel joke… Or a power you can circumvent… There is No exit, only initiation to further pursuit down the rabbit hole.. If you were ever to wake up.. Oh if you were to ever wake up…
