My life has become such a boring event
Reality is one of the things I am interested in
At death, who knows where your spirit may go
I shout out words and they make no sense
Human beings are formed by unknown forces
My life has been ruined by microscopic dust
I'm only kidding about those last four lines
I should be locked away from the rest of humanity
I was so busy working for the people
I was lost and have now been found
People always ask me if I have lost my mind
I want to live in a world
I bet you won't live in the shade too much longer
Some men and women can glow in the dark
Our technology has advanced in huge leaps and bounds
Most people have barely a clue about their true identity
I sleep under the stars without even a tent
My life seems like one thing after another
Where everyone I meet is my sister or my brother
When I think about it my head starts to spin
Then I take a nap and collect all my thoughts
And sort them into categories of various sorts
It may depend much on the seeds you now sow
Or the sticks and stones and insults you throw
Already your thoughts are beginning to slow
Because my mind dwells in some future tense
If you like to think that I am insane
Take another look at your own brain
Chinese people seem to love their sauces
I spend all my dollars down at the shops
Where even the slowest penny eventually drops
I wonder if there's a soul on earth I can trust
My thoughts are so feeble and really pathetic
The skin on my face looks awfully synthetic
A cosmic prankster who is unafraid of fines
You might think it strange or somewhat askew
That I even bother to say these things to you
So that i can explore the boundaries of my sanity
My life has been miniaturised by the Australian government
The federal employees know just where the money went
Inside the church and it's golden steeple
Oliver sudden I fell to the ground
Upon hearing a single and most sacred sound
Inside my very own burial mound
I was born in the middle of my own internal nightmare
However it appears, life is never unfair
I thank themfor their concern and I know they will find
The golden shape of tiny robots dancing
Whistling and chanting can be life enhancing
Where everyone understands their own directions
And illness is always cured
Without any need for painful injections
As all of your muscles and tissues grow stronger
A bone in the hand is worth two in the corner
There must be a reason why the winters are warmer
While looking for a nice place to park
In their individual minds there are many avenues
So they go into the newsagent to buy some new shoes
We now have plastic discs which play our favourite sounds
Yet our understanding of our selves remains laughingly primitive
How often do we sit and wonder about the universe in which we live
You are infinitely more thatn you believe yourself to be
This poem will be continued inside your head
Think of it when snug and curled up in your bed
Untitled
People tell me that I'm crazy
They say that I'm insane
I send them all a dollar
So they may ride the train
Education
By our example
We show children
Who to love
Who to hate
And the result
I gotta say
It aint great
I used to beleive in all the conventional concepts of mankind
Until the day I realised that the blind were teaching the blind
I felt there must be other dimensions of experience to find
So I slowly cleared all the garbage and nonsense from my mind
Our technology has advanced in huge leaps and bounds
We now have plastic discs which play our favourite sounds
Yet our understanding of our selves remains laughingly primitive
How often do we sit and wonder about the universe in which we live
The allure of impermanence
If 25 doctors cannot tell me my own name
I live each day with only minor emotional damage
I am a traveling salesman from another cosmic location
I like to perplex people with my crazy behaviour
I'd like to introduce you to your very own reality
Then my life might as well continue vaguely the same
I can't even work out if my decisions are real
Or if the bones in my leg are now rods of steel
And greet each new moment as warmly as I can manage
I like to enjoy this transatlantic voyage
But sometimes I wonder if it's all a mirage
This is where I choose to spend my summer vacation
I look at the grass and the trees and the sun
And remember that deep down we are all one
They thank me and sometimes regard me as a saviour
In the beginning there were no words for us to say
Then everything changed and evolved into what you see today
Floating inside your mind is another kind of duality
You think you feel things down in your soul
What else could you possibly need to be whole
I spent yesterday going in and out of my mind
Wondering why some thoughts are horrid while others are kind
I looked into the face of the people passing by
Watching for a smile or a twinkle in their eye
I used to borrow my life from the people on TV
Hoping that I could see what the dead can see
I was medically purified by a little jar of chemicals
In the hallways of our minds lurk unborn radicals
Unentitled
I used to believe in the repetition of a single sound
Suddenly my mind was nowhere at all to be found
In the silence a million thoughts waited to be drowned
This poem is not typical of the ideas that are floating around
Smile like a crocodile
People use their angry brains
Constructing bombs to put in planes
Scrambling after imaginary gains
Their souls rattling unseen chains
The Chameleon
Sometimes I think that everything I have ever written
Is complete and utter crap
Then the voices that live inside my head tell me
To go and take a little nap
The endless search for clarity
These new words have no meaning
Why do we say the things we do
People with clarity are extremely rare
Due to a flaw in our reality screening
You may mention things to your friends
About the world that never ends
To be honest with you I haven't a clue
Are we seeking to impress
I guess that's it more or less
They wander neither here nor there
You may spot them if you're attentive
Their words are never vague or tentative
Twenty Questions
Ask me if I'm crazy
Ask me about the twenty doctors
I'll say yes or no
Ask me how I'm going
I'll say fast or slow
I'll tell you that it's so
There are always twenty doctors
All sitting in a row
Lesson 43
The damage of life is all an illusion
The world is based on some unknown binary code
Miniaturisation is a seven-syllable word
So is your fear and doubt and confusion
I was born before the universe even existed
These ideas are nothing new but you've always resisted
Some people seem to bear an unusually heavy load
All of the things tou think, see, do and say
Are simply manifestations of spirits at play
It's rarely been spoken and thus seldom heard
Sometimes whispered between friends in your dreams
And conveyed to your mind on unseen laser beams
