i am a wild river inside a volcano
flames of blood flowing like a lost child
running for his life
looking for his parents
bombs exploding and guns firing everywhere
bullets like rain and smoke and madness all around
and then you wonder to a god you never knew
why there is so much violence and greed
god tells you that violence is always a reaction
a blind man stumbling around hunted by starving lions
greed is form of fear and a way to survive a long winter
i dream of a new life in tenerife
playing music to sexy strangers in hostels
waking up early and meditating on the beach
washing my sweaty testicles in the atlantic
take away my clothes and my money
but my songs will forever die with me
there will be great beauty in the next war
our souls will crash and burn the earth as nuclear love bombs explode
the leaders of north korea and isis will cry and seek for forgiveness
america and europe and asia and africa and russia and australia will unite
and the oceans and planets and lovers and prisoners of war
and all the places i forget and the people who clean toilets
we will all kill each other with peace and be born again
we are the conor mcgregors and lewis hamiltons of spirituality
we walk around and wander the world and smile and talk with homeless people
we are okay with losing it all and losing all of it too
we sing songs by bob dylan and springsteen and tom waits and leonard cohen
and find great spiritual truths hidden in pop culture
we understand what music and art is about
we speak the language of humanity
we dance and sing and celebrate and share the burdens of modern life
we serve truth and ride the storm when we are faced with death
we are the 1% of the 10000%
we let the words and melodies fade away into the night
we remain as ghosts that haunt the skies
we quote the great men and women of history
and characters in tv shows
we laugh and cry and get anxiety and get depressed and go to hospitals
we talk to our angry fathers and disagree with shaking hands
we breathe and calm down and are later grateful that meditation works
we read books by Osho late at night and fall asleep satisfied
we grow older but remember that time might be a flat circle like the guy said in True detective
nobody knows if this is a dream
or is everything part of reality
we read things online
someone said everything doable is natural
we get back to work
writing poetry and fixing plumbing and building skyscrapers
and writing to newspapers complaining about the system and doing curls at the gym
we replace our machines and screens with our earnings
and we buy plane tickets that take us to new places where our problems can breathe
like you i am still in a state of becoming
some time ago i started discovering wealth in what i already have
i started having mental sex with reality
and when times get tough and trouble hits
i just allow it and release it and let myself become the future
that’s all i have for now
i would like to know you
maybe one day we will laugh about it all
about how we took it all so seriously
and our epitomes will just read LOL
