All Together Now: Senryu
ALL TOGETHER NOW
There’d be no rainbow
Except for all the colours
Sharing its beauty
Credo
CREDO
I believe
That when we die
Our bodies return
To the dust they were made of
And our spirit wakes (again)
To the realisation that Spirit transcends
Species, race, gender, sexuality and all that nonsense
What we have only glimpsed of Love
Is fully revealed (once more)
In its wholeness
What foolish things we’ve done
Yet now forgiven
In Essence
IN ESSENCE
Nothing’s black or white;
‘t’s all mixed up. Nothing changes;
Just the skin colour.

USA USA USA YOU WERE SAYING?
These self-appointed slick lords
Never as cool as they’d like
Foreverly seeking applause
In the forever even dragons
Left entertaining archons
Have demons of their own
Riding the American nightmare
Jet and ivory – non consensual
The wizard is behind your eyes
In the absence of actual presence
The child imagines companions
Drums up sugar plum fairies or …
Pays for encore after encore
Ends up head in a basket
Soul sold to the soulless
Carries on, on and on resonating
Aleatorically, unapologetically
Their cross to bear
