where is solace…
meditation…prayer…
moments of peace…
transcendence…

these demons…
awakened…
attacking…
begging for a monk’s life…

coming to terms with nothing…
longing for nothing…
wanting nothing more than something…
america’s nightmare…

naked…
soul stripped…
no secrets…nor judgments…
a constant state of grace…

this is wanted…
tis needed…
dear God grant me life…
yes…fill my cup…

these needs…
done with this world…
commerce commerce commerce….
move-on…move-on…move-on…

i need not wait…
a prayer away…
allah…vishnu…jesus…buddha…
answer me…answer me…

listening…
above loudness…lewdness…lawless…
hearing…
your small voice…

and this i pray…

amen…
