When the insurrection is in the mind, it can never be quelled.

When the resurrection is in the heart, love flows eternal.

When compassion is in the words, healing springs forth

When the revolution is in the actions, the game changes

forever

May I Have A Word Please?

Words of joy, a new dawn arriving.

Words of over-coming not just surviving.

Words of love and fare ye wells.

Words with secrets never to tell.

Words expressed, and words inside.

Words to expose and words to hide.

Words of kindness, words of care.

Words of peace for all to share.

Words of magic and secret wonders.

Words that cleverly cast asunder.

Words that bind, and words that tie.

Words of truth and words of lies.

Words of freedom, choice and power.

What words are calling you this hour?

11

Awakening

Awakening to wonder, awakening to pain.

Awakening to thunder, awakening to rain.

Awakening the senses, awakening my soul.

Awakening to seeing that we are always whole.

Understanding the miracle, seeing it with my heart.

Knowing even when I feel weak, were never far apart. Sensing the spirit, rise and fall within.

Dependent on my thoughts and what they allow in.

The energy runs through me, sometimes like a great big tide.

Tumultuous waves crashing, this years been such a ride. Fast and furious, with trouble always threatening.

As I look around me, I see no sign that its settling. The truth is coming out at such a mighty pace.

Its the final lap but whos going to win this race?

Good or evil, light or dark,

the fires lit awaiting your spark. Join the choir, let us hear your song,

well harmonise before very long.

The time is now, there is no other.

so lets all do it for our Mother. The Earth has provided for all our needs.

so lets stop the madness and end the greed.

Corporations that have no soul, leaders that are out of control.

Its time for sense to prevail at last, after all, its our reflection in the looking glass.

12

Dissolving the Illusion

As I read the daily news,

reading stories and hearing views,

Celebs and Royals dominate the pages,

there are no words of the Saint and sages.

conditioning some call it, as the stories unfold,

leaving the truth, rarely told,

Our rights you see, are being stripped away,

by puppets of power every day.

Yet few seem to notice as they go about their life,

totally oblivious to the potential strife,

A New World Order is badly needed,

but not one that sees people super-ceded

Agenda 21 and the TPP

are gaining some speed,

And thats why I encourage each of you to read, Its up to us, we all must stand, face our fears before it gets out of hand,

The answers they say are inside of you,

listen to your body it knows what's true,

Stop repressing your anger,

let your voice be heard.

Were not sheep or cattle, so step away from the herd.

Choose courage my friend, and together well rise, and as one well shine like stars in the skies.

13

Chemtrails or Contrails?

Its a funny old world, there is no doubt! and theres many words that hold lots of clout. Somethings off, its plain to see. but at what cost to you and me?

Id rather be wrong than be right, and it seems to me a dreadful plight!

Havent we got it? Whats taking so long? How were treating the planet is simply wrong!

Our world, our children are depending on you,

so tell me please, what will you do?

Will you keep quiet and hide in the dark?

or decide right now, to make your mark.

The time has gone now when we failed to see,

the truth that was hidden from you and me,

An abundant Earth for all to share,

when we stop competing and start to care.

For me the question I often ask,

Whats the agenda hidden behind the mask? What do they gain from the stories they fuel,

Millions of money or potential ridicule?

Stop the stories before they start,

Tune in, listen to your heart.

Hear it calling, what does it say?

Is it really to look the other way?

14

The truth is out there, so they say,

Yet its in the heart the wise choose to stay. You know the answers, you always did.

Just think back to when you were a kid.

Our minds are conditioned, its a fact of life, Is yours conditioned for trouble and strife?

Do you feel powerless, strong or weak?

Repel your magnificence, just to be meek?

It is not by shrinking and remaining unheard,

That we diminish the power of things that we dread,

Its like reassuring a child at night, All we need to do is switch on the light.

There is no lack, we have the solutions we need.

Yet many continue in the game of greed.

I write for me and all I hold dear,

This world needs love, let go of the fear.

15

Puppets on a String

Theres an old insidious energy, infecting all the world.

Touching every sphere,

with webs and serpent swirls.

Under the name religion,

weve seen so many brutal things, Boys and girls mutilated

before they can even sing.

Wars and bloody battles,

child brides, wholl never heal. Goddess worshipping whores,

who do it for a meal.

Bumbling fools and corporate clowns

turning our world upside down

Creating havoc and running amok

never stopping to take stock.

Hands up their arses, like puppets on a string

Will we really let them destroy everything?

With tears in my eyes and pain in my heart

I wonder how well get a fresh start

16

Our rights are being stripped away,

By these fumbling fools every single day.

I cant believe whats in front of my eyes. The signs were there, I scream between sighs.

Fracking, GMO, Water Fluoridation,

Nonsensical policies and complete domination.

Its not too late, we can still turn it round. With hearts open wide and feet on the ground.

Lift the apathy blanket, uncover what was hid.

The people have the power, we really always did.

17

Renouncing Evil

I renounce your power over me,

I renounce your right to rule.

I renounce your right to hide

And expose you as a fool.

I renounce all your decisions,

In relation to this Earth

I renounce all your rules,

That hide peoples true worth. .

I renounce your secret clubs,

And the enchantments you have cast

I renounce your right to win,

While making others last.

I renounce your evil ways

And the power youve been given I renounce the hell youre creating On this Earth that could be heaven.

18

Breaking the Bounds

I know Im not the only one calling and the noise can get too much.

I know youre privileged upbringings. left you out of touch.

In a bubble since birth,

in a life bred for success

Where a persons worth is determined by their dress

Bought into the stories

from the ancestors who owned slaves

To me theyre no more evolved than the dwellers in caves.

You dont listen to our pleas, as we make our case to you.

You ignore us completely

when we try to share our views.

Bound and gagged by a flag,

Nothings really changed We just keep repeating history

over and over again.

19

You spread the lies and call us dangerous names,

you spread your hatred and make us bear the shame

The might of the media impounding your lies,

I wonder if youd dare look me in the eyes.

Been given so much and all you do is take more

Not from the rich but from the mouths of the poor.

If you really believed its their personal choice, Why are you so frightened the world hears their voice?

Stop hiding in spin and playing a role,

Come out of hiding, show me your soul.

Is it still in there, masquerading around?

Or is it gone, never to be found?

I see how you use hypnosis like magic,

It would be quite cool, if it wasnt so tragic. Bewitched no more with the spells that were cast.

Still in the game but my minds free at last.

No more waiting or playing around,

As the rumble keeps growing

Can you hear that mighty sound?

20

If only youd listened, we tried to play fair, And all that we asked was that you started to care.

You think were beneath you, just minions and serfs And even now you try to dictate what were worth

Big society and working for free,

how will that pay for the kids blinking tea?

Bullying the disabled, sanctioning the poor

Creating fake jobs until we cant take any more!

Youve rifled our country for too bloody long, You just need to listen to the words of that song.

The one with the Rebellious Scots to crush How can she stand there and not even blush?

What counts as rebellion in this day and age?

Would it be a comment on a Facebook page?

It seems to me, we must obey

We must simply, do what you say.

Our questions unanswered, they hang in the wind

But as we find our voices, our nation will sing

You cant gag an idea thats already caught hold, You wont conquer a nation, known to be bold. As the truth is set free and our history comes to light,

Well reign supreme, with love over might.

21

We are the Miracle

Our World has gone quite mad,

yet somehow I stay sane.

Even as I bear witness,

to all this misery and pain.

My heart it feels so heavy,

with the antics of the mind.

Wondering what happened,

that stopped us being kind.

Religion, countries, separation,

its all been manufactured, Leaving cuts and bruises

and a mind thats badly fractured. The illusions fell away and many, many see,

That everythings not simple, as it appears to be.

The answers lie inside us,

but somehow I dont know why, Many turn away as they hear their family cry.

The ocean waves are trembling as Mother Earth roars.

It is time to heal from all our pains and sores.

The darkness is dense now and the one saving grace,

Is that we can change it when these shadows we face.

The one breath of life, is what we all share.

So maybe its time we all start to care.

22

The fate of our future lies in our hands.

So let us lift our hearts, and not idly stand.

War is not the answer it never was,

A holy disaster with only one cause.

To generate income for the wealthy few.

Whod rather pay to kill than invest in you.

We are the miracle, so what are we waiting for?

Lets get together and say NO MORE WAR!! Peace is the way, the truth and the light,

Not by flexing our muscles and acting with might.

Stop for a moment, and breathe nice and deep.

And then finally just maybe well awake from this sleep.

23

Im all right, Jack.

Hey there Jack, I hear you're all right.

Everything's going great and your future is bright.

I'm glad, in fact I'm relieved as hell.

I'm just wondering if you heard the warning bell.

Your friends have been ringing,

they've been trying to call.

Because though it's good for you, its not for us all.

I don't mean to scare you, it's not my way.

but there's some things you need to know today.

The poor are being savaged by policies of greed,

and unlike you, they don't have all that they need.

They are going hungry, being put out in the cold.

in fact our whole countries already been sold.

Those politicians you and your friends voted in,

aren't even pretending to create a win-win.

They are screwing us all to the floor.

while there puppet masters scream more, more, more.

The funeral business is thriving,

while others are hardly surviving.

24

Suicide, heart attacks all on the increase.

let's stop for a minute and honour the deceased.

I'm glad your job is currently going well,

but for how long in this climate it's hard to tell.

I hope you never fall on hard times.

and no-one turns their back with no reason or rhyme.

I pray you always have someone to care.

Someone who say's I'll always be there.

My biggest hope for the future we share.

Is that you are that someone who shows that they care.

You are that someone who has it within.

To start the process of creating a win-win.

By starting to notice and starting to care.

To be that person who sees what is there.

I'm glad you're all right, Jack. I really am.

You've got all you need to see through this scam.

Maybe if you weren't so lost in yourself.

We wouldn't be hurtling straight towards hell.

25

It's not too late, we've still got time.

To change the tempo and write a new rhyme.

People before profits before it's too late.

A nation that sees everyone as great.

Though my heart is heavy, my faith is not dim.

As in the ocean of madness we continue to swim.

Sense and sensibility what happened to them,

In this World controlled by mad men?

Jack please take care and remember this,

It's not in having it all we experience bliss.

It's sharing a hug, or helping a friend.

It's giving a shit until the very end.

I hope you see with time to spare.

When those you love are all still there.

When it's not too late to say "I've been blind."

And those you love say "I don't mind."

26

Rampant Imaginations

Day dreams and sweet temptations.

Crazy ideas and rampant imaginations.

Lost in a world of madness beyond ken.

While trying to master the art of living Zen.

Winter chills linger, yet the embers been stoked.

The scent of spring brings with it fresh hope.

Tending the tinders and keeping warm. The tempests awake, prepare for a storm.

Lay bare, awaiting the new cycle.

Behaving perfectly archetypal.

On fire now, the flame invoked.

Enchanted roots like an Ancient Oak.

No brimstone needed for budding to begin.

As the miracle of creation comes from within.

27

Fracking Ridiculous

Aww..bonnie Scotland, I love you so much.

Yet they sell you off with shouts of How much? Beautiful mountains, volcanoes and shores

Mythical lands and tales from folklore

Forgotten the stories of slaughter and death.

Forgotten what led us into this mess.

Under attack by needles for years.

Many early deaths and shedding of tears.

What causes our people to feel so much pain?

Is it repeating the cycles again and again?

The latest threat is one I hope soon dies.

With toxins galore falling from the skies.

With the water and soil under threat too.

Causing me to ask, what the fuck can we do?

If the needle of chemicals hits a new vein,

Things are guaranteed, to be never the same.

Already depleted this nations health, Hasnt anyone told you, that is our wealth! Fracking he tells us, will save us all.

As his whipped nimbys join the call.

Well give you money if you sell us your soul. Well let you live, if you do what your told! What hes not saying, is the questions already raised. The disasters other countries have already faced.

The cancers, toxic rivers and the cows without tails.

The silenced with money and activists in jail.

28

Weve been sold out for Uranium profits While the political class, are filling their pockets.

We can still change it, if we all got on side.

This danger is real, theres nowhere to hide. We can stop it now before it gets out of hand

If we work together to save this sacred land.

We are the many, they the few.

And unless Im confused, theyre supposed to serve you. Let them hear our answer is clear.

We wont do this to the land we hold dear.

Sign the petitions, add your sweet voice.

Let them see they dont have a choice. No Fracking forever, theres no case for it. Anyone who says different is just talking shit.

Banned world-wide but its okay for us?

Thats just fracking ridiculous!!

29

As We Remember

Lest we forget, the tragedy committed.

As we remember where we were sitting

As the news hit our ears,

and we shed endless tears.

BBC The second towers been hit as in the shadows they all shouted shit.

The crazy thing is, it hadnt happened yet. That few minutes difference changed my bet. It was in that moment, that I saw the light.

That what Id felt in my heart had always been right. Lennon, JFK and Marilyn too,

Id always felt it but now I knew it was true.

The liars, the culprits are still walking free.

Spreading more terror, trying to control you and me.

I remember the pain and the heartbreak I felt.

As I looked at this Earth and thought how in Hell.

Let us never forget, and always remember,

that the game changed forever on the 11th of September.

Revenge was the call as more blood was shed,

Is this really how we want to honour the dead?

As we remember them by embracing life,

By building bridges not creating more strife.

Lie after lie and still its the same. Becoming a once great nations absolute shame.

30

Ground Zero they called it, as the body count kept growing,

Revenge and terror, the seeds we were sowing.

A never ending cycle of war and destruction.

More brutality from those following instruction.

Just following orders, as they destroy the souls

Of fellow human beings well never get to know

Too many victims have paid the ultimate price

For the blindness of those who want comfortable lives.

Happy to follow orders and do what their told,

Never questioning the lies theyve being sold The cycle can be broken but we need to snap the chain.

Or well just keep repeating the same mistakes again.

Question everything is what Ill pass on, The message Ill leave behind when Im gone. Learn the lessons, or repeat the past.

As more false flags leave me aghast.

See through the lies and the stories they sell,

Start creating heaven instead of this hell.

31

Let There Be

Let there be peace in the World.

Let there be peace in our hearts.

Let there be light in the darkness and calm in the storm.

Let rain and snow be all that falls on our heads.

Let little children sleep snug in their beds.

Let the evil end as the hurt we tend.

Let the futility of war be seen by all.

Let all peace lovers answer the call.

Let people see its the same enemy we share, and that the majority really do care.

Let the solutions shine through,

in this hell weve created Where people are poisoned and more sedated.

Let bombs no longer fall in our name.

Let us be able to let go of the shame.

Let us see the truth through the lies

Let our hearts heave with weary sighs.

Let those who create wars be tried for their crimes.

And those who follow orders break free in time.

Let us create with love in our hearts,

Let us together create a fresh start.

32

The Truth Matters

The Truth Matters was her message,

as she shared stories never told.

By the media and Big Pharma

who dont want us to be so bold. To question everything and look among the lies,

Analyzing the symbols brings many a surprise.

72 names, the message she shared with me,

As we sat at her kitchen table

sharing dreams of what could be.

Our vision of a future of health and vitality.

A change in direction, a different way to be.

Well-being the focus in a life more at ease,

Working with our bodies, understanding dis-ease.

The science is clear, a new time is near,

When we fully realise the power of love over fear.

As a torch-bearer you shone your light bright,

thats why I remember you fondly at night. As the sunset fades and the veil of darkness arrives,

and the stars brighten up all our lives.

33

The Hidden Hand

Dear Hidden Hand, Ive got a message for you. Weve figured it out, how you do what you do. Hiding in shadows, with your legions of minions

Manipulating minds and engineering opinions.

Acting all tough, with your s in the bank Weapons of destruction, drones and death tanks.

Without a care you destroy our world

So despicable you are, you kill boys and girls

Havent you noticed, the curtains been moved And were all ready to create a new groove We see your cowardice, you big yellow belly

We see the programmes you control on our telly.

Destroying nations is what you do best

But with new awareness, the futures been blessed No more will we fight in your wars

No more inflicting brutal sores

No more support in unknowing forms

As weve battled the waves and weve come through the storm.

34

Stronger and wiser, were warriors of peace And Im delighted to tell you, weve terminated your lease Digging up the dirt and removing your seeds

Of hate, separation, competition and greed

In their space we plant and sow

Love, compassion and peace,

a new Earth we will grow

Free from domination well rise again No longer fighting, we become friends

Working together, sharing ideas,

Clearing the old til the way becomes clear Healing the Earth from the ways of the past

Respecting each other in the 21st century at last.

35

A Damsel in Distress

A dream, an ideology, a desired state of grace.

Yet somehow she was left with egg on her face.

Compassionate, caring, courageous indeed.

If only the World wasn't infected by greed.

It's not too late, an idea lingers on.

Theres hope we can revive her sweet song. A change of key, a new harmonic exchange.

With the focus on wellness, just for a change.

Working with our bodies and hearing their tune.

Allowing ourselves to flow with the ebb of the moon.

When the death tolls ring new beginning are near.

It's time for re-birth, a new era is here.

A time when we move away from the fear.

To embrace each other and all we hold dear.

A time when we remember what we'd forgotten,

When we heal what's been at the core rotten.

The power's within us to lead with our heart.

What if together we plan a fresh start?

A focus on healing not more disease.

With poisons on tap and crazy remedies.

We're treating the body like pieces of scrap.

But have we forgot who inhabits its trap?

A person with feelings not a box to tick.

Dear God, no wonder humanity's sick

36

The nurses, the doctors are all there to care.

Silenced with their jobs, their voice not shared.

Opening their eyes to an alternative view.

Starting to see they were fooled too.

Much of the research was hidden from sight.

As reps came with pills promising they had it right.

Stressed, over-worked and paying off debt,

Questioning the research is not a safe bet.

Hands tied as ours were, with no informed choice.

Big Pharma drowns out anyone who questions its voice.

Selling propaganda and pills much hyped.

dressed up all dandy, like the snake-oil type.

Let us indulge the lessons wisely

and her life not be in vain.

As we once again look at ways

to address the misery and pain.

Eyes washed and weary from the grief on its way.

Maybe the alarm bell marks the dawning of a new day.

When people question what they are told.

and see through the products they're being sold.

Imagine a world where illness was rare.

Imagine a world where we all stopped to care.

Imagine it wasn't about gaining a dime.

Imagine co creating a new paradigm.

37

No More War

Stop threatening our future,

with all your deadly games.

All your menacing antics,

you really should be ashamed.

Call yourself men, let me tell you this.

You are all behaving like silly little kids.

They are not toy soldiers,

or rubber bullets you aim.

All for some perceived power,

and psychotic acclaim.

The patriarchs time is over, its time for dominance to end. And women are at the ready

to help our world mend.

It is time for balance,

for women to have a voice.

So if youd like to shut up now, Ive had enough if your unruly noise.

Your greed it insults me as you do this in my name.

And even though I renounced you,

you are still causing me such pain.

My heart aches for my family all around the world,

for all the beautiful children,

the innocent boys and girls.

38

Its time to end the madness and let sanity prevail. The only way I see is to put the leaders in jail.

Leaders should be the example of what we want to see,

Not bullies, liars and cheats full of hypocrisy.

Every single human,

no matter where they are.

Have the potential within

to be the brightest star.

Let us spend our money on education

and working with the Earth,

Helping people see,

exactly what theyre worth.

War is a psychopaths dream The craziest money making machine.

It creates damaged people who recreate more chaos,

Instead lets find a way to reach homeostasis.

A body of cells working together as one,

Celebrating that we share the same sun.

Our lives are a blessing, it really is so.

So lets stop this madness and get on with the show.

39

Mind over Matter

Mind over matter

A curious question

Magic or mystery

or misrepresentation?

What if the question,

just needs relocation?

Out of context,

all sense is lost!

Maybe all it means,

is who is the boss?

Is to make up your mind

Your hearts loss?

What if the question,

we asked was mixed up

And we were messing around

with the eternal cup?

What is your compass,

the question is clear

Are you governed with love

or controlled by fear?

40

Mind over matter

or matter over mind?

Eternal wisdom

or beliefs that bind?

Which one leads the show

in the dance you have chosen.

Is one taking chances

and leaving the other frozen?

Mastering symphonys when matter's over mind

The ultimate dance

is when both are aligned.

41

The Wisdom from Within

I lift my eyes and look around the station

Departing, alighting, all on their way

To somewhere and nowhere on this glorious day.

Scuffling and hurrying, running around

Eyes down-turned, to their feet on the ground.

Not stopping for a moment to savour their breath

Is it any wonder were suffering from stress?

100mph like a sports car just teasing

Never looking after the body that were leasing. Im tired it calls as we go through our day Choosing to ignore what its trying to say. Its shouts gets louder as it catches a cold

Wondering why we dont do what were told

Nose is streaming, eyes are all red.

Head is banging, should be in bed.

Got to keep going, got a deadline to meet.

Better hurry up, theres a new client to greet! The poundings getting louder, can hardly see. Where am I going to find time for me?

Bills to pay and the mortgage is late

What happened to destiny, how is this fate?

Going around in circles, getting nowhere

Never stopping for a moment to simply take care.

Colds now the flu and still cant stop Got to keep working, cant be caught on the hop.

42

The bills keep on coming, flus brought on a fever Building a damn, like a busy wee beaver

The holes getting bigger, the waters at my feet. When will I find time for a seat?

The flood-gates are open, the waters so deep

As I learn from my body, what I sow I will reap.

The lights are so blinding, as I look around to see

Who are these people in front of me?

Pneumonia they tell me, its now in my lungs Why didnt I listen? on the tip of my tongue. I should have stopped, should have taken a rest

Its true what they say, my body knows best.

How can we do it, in this world that we live?

When accumulated debt our bodies outlive.

Were out of sync, weve lost our rhythm We seem to have created a mighty schism

Time to re-assess and a new way design

One that works to keep us in rhyme

Where we answer the body and let it lead the way

When we listen closely to what it has to say

Were so out of tune, the tempo needs changed Its time for the orchestra to be re-arranged. The choir of compassion, singing its tune.

Flowing in harmony with the tides of the moon.

43

Enough is Enough

I despair of the human race at times so much so, I cry.

So gullible and foolish, were choking on the lies. Weve lost our sense of rhythm, with all this messed up pop Every day the question rises, when will this madness stop?

NASA with more investment, and the war machines on fire

Every day, Im screaming, Liar, liar, liar!!

Children are starving all over the world,

and theres still a vendetta against harmless little girls. Its time we got a grip and looked within our hearts Stop treating the symptoms, instead look at where it starts.

Were promoting greed and selfishness, our values are all fucked

How do you think we got here, is it really just bad luck?

Fighting for survival in a world that idolises money

Did I mention yet Monsanto and what theyre doing to the honey?

Lets stop preparing for crisis, start looking after what weve got.

Take GMOs off the table and chemtrails out the pot. The BBCs in meltdown with all their lies and deceit. Its time to claim a refund, I hope you kept your receipt.

44

Are you still paying for a license with a conscience that is

clear?

How can you really when all they pedals fear? Promoters of terrorism and lies beyond belief

Traumatising the mind with bucket loads of grief.

False flags and propaganda, protecting pedophiles

Will you really send your energy to the vilest of the vile?

There is a mass distinction between what is right and wrong

And even if you hate it, I must share with you my song.

We need to take responsibility for the contribution that we

make

We need to get more conscious of what we really take.

Is our quest for success really that fulfilling?

Theres a better way but you have to be willing

Step outside your comfort for a moment or two.

Take the time to notice whats going on around you. Its not isolated cases of people in distress We need to admit weve created a mess. Searching for truth in a pill jar

In so many ways weve come so far.

So far from ourselves, losing our way

Just trying to survive and get through the day.

No time to think, no time to question

No time for debate or serious discussion.

Its so superficial and boring you see As the choir keeps on singing Its all about ME!

45

The sooner you realise that lifes not about stuff, The sooner youll be chanting ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!! Sending vaccines to kids, who wont survive without food. Tell me Mr Gates, how is this good?

Our air, food and water are under attack.

Please consider this before turning your back.

With the future you gamble when your eyes off the ball.

Think of the children, answer the call.

Direct your energy and all that you do.

In the direction that best reflects you.

You wouldnt fund war if you thought you had a choice. Would you still say nothing, if you knew the power of your

voice?

The psychos are shouting from the newspapers stands Spreading lies and destruction, destroying the lands.

Your voice may be the harmony that swings the decision

One that heals scars, eradicating divisions

Like the bird in the sky, theres a song in your heart. Expressed with joy, it becomes your art.

46

Be honest with yourself, its the first step. Whos been planning your future, while you slept? Fact stranger than fiction, truth thats hard to take. A science fiction movie, we could easily make.

Get your mind round the madness then its easy to see. The conditioning aspect of the BBC.

Not just them, its the whole bloody crew, How much has the media brainwashed you?

Be willing to question and get ready to dig.

Youre hands need to get dirty to grow something big. Tilling the soil, pulling up weeds.

Re-writing the programs, planting new seeds,

Sowing with love, letting go of the greed.

The fate of our future lies in our hands,

The gravity of which Im sure you understand. I know its heavy, this burden we bear. But it gets much lighter, the more we all share.

Many hands sharing the workload gets lighter,

before we know it the whole world will be brighter.

47

Forgotten History

Has it been forgotten or hidden in the past?

Revealing revelations how did I get this task?

The biggest secret ever, hows it possible it cant be? Judeo/Christian connotations, no-one really wants to see.

Yet as I turn the pages, the door opens up some more.

The true location is lost, but not forevermore.

Reminding me that everything, isnt always as it seems. The Star of Bethlehem was born in a very different dream.

The Last Up-rising, Josephus reports in his works now on

full view.

All Im seeing confirms it, it must be bloody true. With biblical proportion the lies been spread around the lands.

Making me question, just how many hidden hands.

The locations are still there now, for all to look and see.

If only they would questions, is it possible lets see. Simon Bar Cocheba, reborn just in time

Freeing slaves from their bonds, reconnecting them with their

minds.

Isis, Ishtar, Saints and Sinners.

Historys losers and historys winners. Conquerors, confusion, lies, manipulation.

Giving your power away is merely sedation.

48

Madness and Monsanto

Who are Monsanto and why does it matter?

Why am I hearing all this endless chatter?

What does it have to do with me?

If they can cure hunger, maybe we should see.

They own an army called Blackwater, is it true?

What difference would that make to me and you?

Agent Orange and franken-food,

Doesnt really sound all that good!

Maybe the dissenters are all in-sane,

Its not like they have anything to gain. They read the research before making up their minds.

And its unlikely they have something to hide.

Tumours in rats and infertility too?

Really, by gosh! How can it be true?

Manipulation of facts and outright lies,

When will it end? I call between sighs.

I pray for the day when the madness ends.

When weve bucked all these crazy trends. When we show Monsanto that we aint no toffs, And we tell them in unison just fuck right off!

The Magical Kingdom

Walking down the mountain,

Staggering here and there,

The possibilities were endless,

If she didnt care

Walk away right now

Youve done enough my dear The gateway is open,

Theres nothing left to fear.

In this maze of madness,

you found a way through

Now as we promised,

the choice is up to you.

You can keep walking and never look back

Into abundance and a world with no lack

Or you can do what a few have before

You can stay here and hold open the door.

The colours are enchanting on this beautiful bridge

The only true path to the heavenly ridge

Follow your heart it will guide the way,

Walk forward with courage every single day

Where no paths been laid, blaze a new trail.

In the storms of life, stay safe as you sail.

Love with abandon and remember to laugh,

If you dont like where youre going, lay a new path.

50

Look through the looking glass, into its centre.

Thats where the key is, that allows you to enter. The magical kingdom is awaiting you now,

Look back at hell with a final bow

For the lessons were blessings bestowed,

And now its time to get on with the show. The scenerys been changed and the story board up-dated

And most of the casts no longer sedated

The possibilities remain endless,

In this place where terrors relentless. Its up to us, where we take it from here. A world free to love or controlled by fear.

51

The Animal Within

Ive ran with the wolves, while monkeying around. Ive howled at the moon, without making a sound. Ive baa-ed with the sheep, as in flocks they did move, But to be honest, it was never really my groove.

Ive seen the snakes as they slithered around. Trying to make me lose my grip on the ground.

Sleek like the panther, stalking my prey.

Been at it like bunnies, as some might say.

In a web Ive been trapped just like a fly. As those racing rats kept scurrying by.

At times like a giraffe I could reach the tree top.

More like an ostrich when the bills never stop.

Sometimes as timid as a little mouse,

Like when the TV folk came to the house.

Then something happened as the cubs arrived.

Something inside me had come alive.

The miracle of creation hid no more.

As like a graceful lion I reclaimed my roar.

It didnt happen quickly overnight At times in the cocoon I was such a sight.

52

Exhausted and feeling like it would never end.

It sure taught me the value of friends.

The preparations over, the next stage begins.

And the butterfly is ready to test her new wings.

Flittering and fluttering shes bound to fall. For a soft landing those same friends shell call. Its not over yet, who knows where to now. One day she may even become an old sow.

When the journeys over and its the end of my tale, I hope its fondly youll view my snail trail. Footprints in hearts and ideas in mind.

Helping people see were all the same kind.

Feather, fur, skin, scales, wings or not.

Were all part of nature thats what we forgot.

53

While You Were Sleeping

While You Were Sleeping.

We dug and we dug,

we dug so deep we were covered in mud.

On some days the mud would stick.

And our energy would feel so thick.

Like wed been over-powered by those at the top.

Crushing down, it wont ever stop.

While you were sleeping.

We questioned everything.

No longer content with the lies we were told.

In a world that seemed to have lost its soul.

Suppression, repression, the tools of their trade.

Keeping us all as unbounded slaves.

While you were sleeping.

I done a lot of thinking.

As I tried to stop it,

the ship kept on sinking.

Were heading for disaster.

I cant do anymore.

Is it too late to swim for the shore?

54

While you were sleeping,

there was many awake.

As you dreamed, the foundations we shook.

As you snored, the steps we took.

Now its time for me to rest my eyes.

As you come to term with all the lies.

Looking behind curtains

and dancing with death.

Knowing yourself and becoming one with your breath.

No longer led by fools with masks.

Breaking free, your only task.

While you were sleeping, many lay awake.

And today some rest they must take.

Wonderland awaits when the storm finally passes

when the rabbit hole has delivered all of its classes.

When weve learned how to think, not be sheep.

when weve ascended the muck, down in the deep.

Were on our way, rub the sleep from your eyes.

and never be blinded by another lie.

55

Looking Beyond

Sometimes we look beyond,

And dream of what should be,

Forgetting that where we focus,

Is only what we see.

As we pine for nature in the concrete mess,

Our hearts get weary, our bodies stressed,

A simple shift is all it takes

To soften all heart-aches,

I am here before your eyes,

As the rain falls slowly from the skies,

And the tears run down your face,

I pray your heart feels my grace.

Your pain, it is clear to see,

Is that youve separated you from me, As the drops trickle down the pane,

Do you see the miracle of rain?

The cars, the buildings and all that is,

Is a symbol of eternal bliss.

Though man-made theyre still divine, As you and me are eternally entwined.

56

No matter how it looks, sweet friend,

I am here, there will be no end

Together we arise, as once we fell,

Now its time for creating heaven not hell.

I mean for the many not for the few,

Cos just like me, they are part of you.

Forgiveness is the key youll find, To all the treasures deep inside.

Now, it is time to celebrate,

As we journey to our divine fate.

Heaven on Earth for all to see,

Lets do it together, you and me.

57

The Little Drummer Boys all Grown Up

The tide has turned, youll know what to do. As you see madness unfold in front of you.

Portals of possibility and infinite potential,

Ascending to Heaven and being multi-dimensional.

Life as we knew it was all about matter,

Stereotypes, judgment and endless chatter.

At last the depths were revealing themselves,

As I sat on the brink between Heaven and Hell.

3-D to 5-D how would we know,

Is it possible well see the glow? Not with eyes filtered with fear,

Its love that makes our vision clear.

The truth was hidden there is no doubt,

As we enter the new age and it all comes out.

The codes been deciphered and the clues re-written, and somehow I found myself sitting in Heaven.

Looking in the Masters eyes I heard the drumbeat to my surprise,

The dance has changed, its clear to see. But where will it lead you and me?

I knew the story had made no sense, but why would he crack

it, if it was the end?

A new beginning the choice is here,

Will we choose Love or stay trapped in fear?

The cycles you see are all concentric,

The biggest secret is its all geometric!

58

Delightful Delusions

Delusion can be delightful,

at other times quite frightful

Dallying in a day-dream,

foraying in fantasy.

Always a bump,

coming back to reality.

Twinkling with the stars,

or soaring through the air.

Pretending for a while,

not to have a single care.

Then reality bites,

like a rabid dog.

Pulling you out,

of a self-induced fog.

Legs are wobbly,

takes a moment to ground.

Need to re-focus,

by looking around.

Settling down,

strapping in for the ride.

Remembering theres nowhere, really to hide.

The truth waits for no one,

at your peril ignore.

The rumblings that come

from deep in your core.

59

Hope

Hope is pulsing through me,

My dreams are in our hands

The momentousness of this decision

I pray you understand

Im in no hurry to go and cast my mark Because right now dreams are real,

in this reality that is stark

When I do this,

It is not just for me I hope to make a deal

A better future for all is what I hope to seal.

Its for the future that isnt yet written For the beautiful children

Ive been blessed to be given

Its for those that came before us and lost their lifes in vain. And for those who come after,

that I hope wont do the same

Theres something else about this vote, that Im holding in my hand Its like a sacred contract were casting with this land

60

Swearing to protect it, letting it be raped no more

Becoming guardians and caretakers

like those who walked before

As I cast my intentions on a little piece of paper

Its with the hope this little marks a world shaper We can do so much better,

than what were currently creating Led by the least among us,

wasting our energy berating.

Its time to make major progress, for an evolution to occur

With trepidation I walk forward

in hope my country-men concur

We can do this Scotland, not just for us but all

we can make the difference

and into the future walk tall

Justice and equality on the cards again

No longer making enemies,

well show the world were friends. Im choosing hope, as an optimist its my way And no matter what happens at least I got a say.

61

The Book of Life

As I look at the cover my mind comes to life,

Curious and wondering what the pages may hide.

Lost in translation or factual information.

Poetry, prose or government manipulation.

What's between the lines, I begin to guess.

As I allow the title to slowly digest.

Who is the author, what is the agenda?

Tantalising tales or a murky mind-bender.

Recording facts or re-writing a story?

Re-telling history, like its not quite as gory. Filling in the blanks, my imaginations on fire. Getting the full picture my ultimate desire

Interpreting symbols my psyche over-loaded

Trying to make sense of the secrets encoded Centurys missing, from the past we recorded To cover up how weve been defrauded

Written by the victorious of the bloody battlefields

Our past marred with stories of stolen yields

Books are my heaven, my hope and my hell

How the story unfolds, only time will tell.

62

Sovereignty

You can't take away my sovereignty,

it was gifted straight to me.

You can't con me out my sovereignty

because all your tricks I see.

You can't destroy my sovereignty,

it's in the life I've lived.

You can't devolve my sovereignty,

it isn't yours to give.

You can't buy my sovereignty,

it comes with no price tag.

You can't banish my sovereignty

or hide it with a flag.

You can't wipe away my sovereignty,

like life itself, it lives on

You can't erase my sovereignty

by trying to change our song

You can't deny my sovereignty,

or weigh it in your hands

You can't re-write my sovereignty,

interwoven with this land.

63

My Unicorn

Im going to ride my Unicorn, I dont care what you say. I need to live in fantasy,

To survive another day.

In a make believe world,

Where my nightmares are real

Ive got to stay focused And do it with zeal

Im going to ride my Unicorn, I dont care what you say.
