my shit is your fertilizer

Post by sonofthesun » January 16th, 2012, 6:01 am

can you not see
that all shit becomes new things
there is no empty space
my exhale
becomes a trees breath
the death of one
is the life of many
and my love
knows no boundary


i care nothing for your money
for on it life does not depend.
that is 100% certain. so fuck the
disease you spread.

big mirror- aloha - hope you get that sorted out- :mrgreen:
reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---

Maybe so
maybe the poet is the manure from which his poetry grows


I try to resist the loathing
for a disease called man

Thinking about a book called
Life Against Death
Filthy Lucre
Chapter on Swift

Sorry for the personal tangential ramble, thanks for some food for thought

Well...what that quote to me says...that money and god have been used and abused to facilitate disease. Instead of making things better for all, it is for the few that "know" or "own" shit. I am not in the religious hierarchy, and yes I am not apart of the corporate elite, but no, you do not own my shit. My shit belongs to everyone, as a fertilizer for all things. Regardless of placement or wealth. And until things are done in a less unilateral way, inordinate amounts of people will suffer. I have no disproportionate hate for man. I am disgusted by our capacity to ignore and facilitate destruction in order to produce "wealth". Be it for "god" or what have you. I'm not against capitalism, in that working hard makes your life better. Its making wealth to the detriment of the future of life. Do you destroy more than you create...Are your practices a detriment to all children(non specie specific) on this earth. Be it earthworms or what have you. This is a system that we all give and take from. What do your actions tend towards...Disease or regeneration


i may not have stated my thoughts perfectly as i am on drugs(alcohol. yes its a drug). And as my thoughts change upon new thoughts and information, this is just the crux of my thought at this time...i think...

and also...when i write it is not always exactly pure and true to who i am...its just something i feel at that moment. not saying i dont agree with what i wrote or write. but my writing exists in the moment of its creation. i do not write pre thought out things. almost every poem ive ever written on here or elsewhere is from a thought i have at that time and then go. i do not really have any preconceived poetry. i come on here thinking i want to write and then i do or dont.
i have no doodle pad, except what i post. my poetry may hurt from that, but thats how i like it. raw thoughts and emotion.

Sounds like you got a better grip on it then I do. Because I don't get understand it at all. Why my dog had to die because I did not have three thousand dollars to save its life. So I thought maybe life does depend on abstractions like dollar signs. Yes the Moloch of abstraction.

thank you for the poem and the train of thought it inspired. My thoughts are not your fault.

Im sorry to hear about your dog. Some of the hardest times ive had in my life were the death of my 3 best friends who were dogs. When I "philosphyze" as i did its on the macro level, not the interpersonal level.

Watching the news this morning a Pekingese was best in show in the New York dog show this year. It was a sobering moment. I appreciate your sympathy 8)

As far as philosophy goes some very hip people don't get it at all. Heidegger is so fucking funny to me. He is real good at the macro.

Nietzsche told me that it ain't about philosopher kings, it is about philosopher priests.

On a unrelated note.
On another thread you asked if it is the drugs.

Oh yes for me it is. I have not done window pane for over thirty years. I stopped when I realized I was tripping all the time. After I washed the doors of perception it has been dam near impossible to close them windows again..

I keep wondering about Jim Morrison's bad trip. Maybe I am lucky that I did not read Nietzsche till I was in my thirties which is what I read while I was tripping. I am reminded of that fact every-time I read a hit of poetry.

Thank you for writing.
