solid

we become solid
we become liquid
we refrain from becoming
none of it really matters
since illusory worlds prevail
kali yuga
you mystify me
you entangle me
you strangle me
this strangle hold is formidable
this way you suck me back in
this denial of release this captured essence
and here goes the observation of tidy mistakes
they call casualties
which will be called casual as a formality
but observations of these times
gather in the corners of our eyes
like cobwebs
and the present moment has power to pull us back in
pursuit of happiness drives us
while pharmaceutical agendas deliver us onto the doorstep of
pieced back together
puzzle people
patience is required by universal law
as America grows into what it takes for faith to blossom
we choke on substandard English
and other colonial languages
too tainted to express
indigenous rage because
we all have  indigenous origins
every single one of us
now we smile wide
side step the origins
underneath shining masks of complicity

for if there ever was a time to rise up
it would be now

if there ever was a time to come together
it would be now

if there ever was a time to unify and to solidify
it would be now
