shinto tree rant

there are different meanings

for all the important words

in the English language

America

land of fifty stars

promising the completion

of the kototama long walk through history

-----

there is kanagi order honesty

guided by the dim light of 24 unfolded capacities

likely the minimum by which we may remain alive

albeit unsustainably as the material scientific way

is proving to be

this is the honesty of the bushes

stating i am honest

and then believing in some part of themselves

it must be true

while the split off parts of their personalities

are then free to manifest whatever distortions may arise

from the repressed energies of all their unmanifest capacities

for from where else but such separation

could such stupidity as greed and war

in the face of global catastrophe arise?

-----

there is sugaso order honesty

guided by 32 lights

enough moonlight to witness the suffering

caused by the injustice

of spiritual principle ever ironically misfitted

with the lower desires ever driving the ship

why oh why we cry out

does God never come through

on the big stage

giving us a job

or a pat on the back

why doesn't he cure my illness

or rewrite the headlines on the Times

once in a while?

-----

and there is futonolito order honesty

which one is not supposed to speak about

in order to not offend

God and the ancestors

or maybe just

the worm-selves and cocoon-selves

we so often are

or maybe to not mix up the projected magical unfoldment of our full repertoire of fifty sunlit capacities

with the grossness of our current energetic signature

but as the most arrogant person on the planet

at least so far as all my former imaginary girlfriends are concerned

i'll just say this

-----

both I and the Earth

the old man and the sea

are fucking tired

of all the shitty pretenses

and some day soon

there will be something to say yes to

and the trees will bend to our will

and we will likewise

bend to theirs
