the criminals among us

mostly poets are of the good of the universal creation
some still served the cabal of the slave God of money
those who have pulled the wall over our eyes
the bloodlines that have ruled with lies and war
having said that, when I say I am a poet
what that means to me, is that as a child I was a rebel
I don't think I was an indigo child
but I knew what I was being taught in grade school
something was wrong about that, my first grade teacher
was teaching racism in the class room, I remember
that, I was not a conformist like the other children
at least I stood out somehow, because the teacher
singled me out to make an example of me
I learned to read very easy, like a fish to water
but nobody was really teaching me, my catholic upbringing
was not teaching me anything except maybe some basic
understanding of the good that came through in spite
of religious dogma, I was a very average child otherwise
at about twelve I read a few science fiction books
and it made me think that there was a lot more gong on
then what I was being told by my schooling or by the church
when Kennedy was assassinated I was already
thinking of myself as a kind of beatnik
when the late sixties came I was right there when the psychedelic
wave hit, so the sorta beatnik kid became a hippie teenager
I experienced poetry through the lyrics of Bob Dylan
so what this means is that the rebel child in me thought of poetry
as a revolutionary thing, that each poem contains some truth
that is a minute figment of the imagination that continues the
revolution of the mind through the vision of the voice
that carries on with the written word liberated from conformity
but becoming a poet might mean different things to different
people, to me being a poet is that I was a seeker after truth
not the lies we are conditioned with by the media, by schools
by evil one percent of the one percent that are running this world
and their minions the evil corporations that perpetuate the lies
