Manifesto for What Love can achieve in the 21st Century


Let love realize beyond self through you
Let love realize us in you,
Let love realize you in us.

No more me,
no more you,
no more him,
no more her,


no more yours
no more mine
no more theirs
no more whose?

There is an Autobahn to Heaven
There is a Motorway beyond Hell.
Here is the Parkway to my Mind.
Here is your Ticket out of Wherever.

I don't have what you want.
It's in your back pocket.

I don't have what you need.
Just keep straight on till dusk,
then take a left on Hope Street,
and don't forget to rest those dogs.

I'll share this bottle
& would you tell me your story?

I'll cut you a slice
of this Life,
& here's mine
how it happened:

I was set adrift on memories
blissed out by the hope of finding you.
I was lost in the sauce
till you stuck your forkful of turkey,
and swished it around.

Here's to your Health,
Here's to your Peace,
and here's to the little girl
who lives down the Lane.

Let's make a deal.
I won't give up on me,
& don't you give up on You.
It's not about the money
or even the big Is-You-Be!
It's not about the ladies, G.
Let's keep it real;
I've got your back,
& you can come over for tea.

If you were mad
at me for what I failed for your hopes,
please cut me some slack,
and send it parcel post.

If you were sad
cause you thought I didn't care,
give me a call,
drop me a line.
Maybe I'll bite,
maybe this time.

If you are bored,
& there don't seem nothing to do,
open up a can of yellow.
You've had too much blue.

Here's one more wish
to put in your pipe
and smoke for peace:
I'll pronise you no perfection,
but will pray for your
everlasting chance
to be whoever you decide
whenever you want.
Hey, there's more than one door,
and you can find more than one guide.

Now when you come back
please bring a friend.
The revolution started like, yesterday.
& where will you be when our ship comes in?

Author notes

I hope this to be a series of poem talks in which I call for a meeting of minds and souls. My vision is nothing short of a world which can heal the pains and injuries of centuries past.

It is time for the fertilized manure of our experiences to ferment to something all together different. Where are the seeds? What are you doing to help our garden grow?

    Oh yes I love the way you think and I completely agree with your author's notes. It's about time we wrote the word complacency on a piece of paper, crumpled and hurled it away! I like your style too, it's amicable and easy.

    Peace Georgia
