Mind Notes Pt.105 'Composed In Murky Waters'

This ain't the same beat

That was playing

This ain't rap

I was saying

Never follow fashion

Obeying

Drop a beat with a jingle

Straight sleighing

Ain't safe

Where we're laying

In the manor more grief

Complaining

In the ends more thieves

Snakes waiting

Stomach turn

On some anticipation

I seen the machine

And I believe

In the MPC

Pledge allegiance to the beat

Disciples to the speaker box

Loyal to the game

Relentless

We never stop

I been where I been

And I still
Came back again

Where it's all happening

Still here paddling

Up stream struggling

Still here puzzling

Still

A red heart

A black peace sign

Pacifists ain't safe

In these times

Trying to keep a straight face

Keep a sharp mind

It's been a long grind

It's been a long time

Keen wit

Got a sharp edge

Listen clear

Always hear what my mother said

Ignore the voices

Trying to keep a level head

See the angles

Everybody's trying to get ahead

Eye spy

Hide and go seek

If only the meek

Could inherit all the earth

We'd all be eating proper dinners

Clean water

Free schools

Living free spirits

My my

Look at what's become of us

All because of some us are crazy

It's berserk

Devils dress in dark suits

Try telling me

We ain't all dying

For the loot

Never get wet feet

Just saying

But when the drought come

They outside

All praying

It's shame when it rains

It's another day in

No knock down ginger

We're not playing

Trying to find a way in

Came in through the back door

No one saw us coming

No one saw the homework

Hours putting work in

Living for the art and the craft

Still learning

If only we could get

Every penny, every cent

Give it all back

Where it should of went

You could forget about

Flags planted

Got to teach man

Not to take the earth for granted

What's the meaning of making it

If you ain't trying to give a bit

Living

While your brothers catch cold

Drivers

And the passengers

Miracles and massacres

The story unfolds

PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!

Mind Notes Pt.104 'How They Left Us'

Smoke in the air

While the incense burns

And the worms turn

Out here 

Trying to earn

Elders say

We never learn

But knowledge is a mystery

Never seen

The sandy shores

Disconnect from history

Oligarchs and archetypes

Shadows in the dead of night

Ankle shackles on my ancestors

Reparations never came

The resentment festers

Look at how they left us

Look at what they left us

Down for the cause

No applause

Busy putting work in

Behind closed doors

Mad composers

Stuck in concrete towers

Get the coffee pot boiling

Make the most of hours

The artist

And the business man

Lost souls play their roles

P.R. plans

The puppets

And the puppeteers

These muppets

Should have known the real score here

Look at how they left us

Look at what they left us

Easy on the soy boy

Not the type to toy boy

Never been the hoi polloi

Forget the processing

And packaging

We need the food

Without the poisons in

The definition of real wealth

Should be the definition

Of happy

Of good health

Should be the recognition

Of virtue

Here to help

Appreciation of mother nature

Knowledge of self

Look at how they left us

Look at what they left us

Living in the upside down

Good is bad

Bad is good

Goodness knows

We've been around

Listen close and hear the sound

Gracious are the ones

Who value life

Over the golden pound

Tell my people let's get educated

When's the last time

You actually meditated

When's the last time

You took time and contemplated

Ever wonder why you're wide awake

But feeling jaded

Look at how they left us

Look at what they left us

PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!

Mind Notes Pt.103 'Lines In The Sand'

Let's debate

Who can relate

We can change the whole world

If we're willing to see

If we exist

Respectfully

We could live on higher levels

Intellectually

Speaking

Needing

We all need someone

To fight that feeling

Lonely

Homely

Where the heart is

Life finds Meaning

Heartfelt

Emotions

Surrounded by the poisons

Surrounded by the potions

Perspectives

Devotions

Hard to think straight

Caught up in commotions

War zones

Crime scenes

It's hell on earth

You can hear the screams

Sacrifices

By any means

Put a price on our lives

Trying to buy dreams

New purpose

New meanings

No voices

No demons

Lines in the sand

We all need freedom

Open your mind

We can all see reason

Wake Up

Stop dreaming

Start thinking

Start believing

Lines in the sand

We must stand for freedom

Open your mind

It's open mind season

Now!

I'm far from

Perfect

But who's perfect

I've always been a decent guy

Trying to paint

Perfect

Pictures

Envision stairways to the sky

Flying

Higher

Slaves to the numbers

Too close to the fire

Burning

Desire

In eyes of beholders

Beauty is a liar

Life takes

Patience

Piece by piece

Like the universe made us

Heros

Or haters

Rewrite history

Changing the pages

Squares

Or circles

Everything's a circle

Build or destroy you

Make love

Or make war

What you really here for

All we really need is love

PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!

Mind Notes Pt.102 'Digital Robots'

Animal instincts

Digital robots

Taking selfies of their souls

Through a light box

A world of haters

Searching for the likers

Whats real

Whats fake

Trying to decipher

Strike a lighter

Fuel the fire

Born to create

Or sucked in a stupor

Age of the computer

Could of set us free

But we're chained to the shackles

Of the wifi 4G

What's spiritual

What's hard facts

Time travelling

Lost trying to make it back

Study old scrolls

Study scriptures

Caught up on these wives tales

The rich get richer

Twelve monkeys

Or eight billion monkeys

All this monkey business

Something's smelling funky

Information junkie

Or mind expansion

Can our minds eye see

Past the third dimension

Another junction

Another crossroads

More decisions

High tech

Lost souls

Sticks and stones

Crying over broken hearts

Hazy memories

Tales of a lost past

Is iPhone

Or I robot

Is it I know

Or I know not

Now it's future

Sci-fi reality

Crying over light years

Digital tragedy

Silicon valley

In the Shadow of death

Feel the grip of panic

Only one meg left

Slaves to the machine

Where the data is king

The net never sleeps

Everybody's busy looking

Everybody's busy blogging

Everybody's busy logging in

Nineteen eighty three

The arpanet begin

From Kahn and Serf

We surf waves

Of the matrix

Lost in these digital days

PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!

Mind Notes Pt.101 'Increase The Peace'

We need to increase the peace

The world's unjust

We're all stuck

In the belly of the beast

We need more

PEACE

We need more

LOVE

We need more

PEOPLE POWER!

If there's no justice

There's no peace

But if it’s all love

Then there’s no beef

It's time that we learn more

It's time that we teach more

Let's break the cycle

Increase the peace

If there's no justice

There's no peace

But if it’s all love

Then there’s no beef

It's time that we love more

It's time that we stop war

Let's break the cycle

Increase the peace

Right foot first

The rest follow

Pied Piper

One mans struggle

Is another mans minor

Twenty ten & fiver

We never see the IMAX

There's a much bigger picture

When you step back

Forget conspiracies

It's wheels within big wheels

Forget about common folks

It's deals within big deals

Warfare and white pills

Profit margin murders

Dying for them big bills

Billion dollar mergers

Move further

Try to find ways out

Of economic shackles

It's hard to find days out

Giving us the run about

We're clinging to the cage

Goal posts are moving

How we acting our age

We're supersonically

Hanging on the edge of destiny

Caught between the fine chaos line

Of this symmetry

Study our astrology

Gaze in amazement

Marvel at the stars

And elements that made us

Dreams

Or tangible philosophies

So called democracies

Two faced mockeries

Blatant hypocrisies

Flies in the ointment

Destiny or random

Meet the appointment

Get with programme

But who's the programmer

Give the right answers

But what's the right grammar

No silver spoons

Then it's judge with the hammer

And you can't catch the fast life

Caught in the slammer

Harsh choices

On a shoestring existence

Embrace the future

Survivor persistence

See the past

All the chances we're gifted

We know the pain and truth

Because we've lived it

Stay on the mission

Keep learning

We elevate

Dance around the middle ground

While we celebrate

Before it's too late

Run the race ragged

In an ocean of emotions

Never drown in the baggage

Dark times

Trying to find a light switch

The poor still poor

The rich get more rich

Everybody feel the itch

Seems we need a shake up

Seems we need to reprogram

And wake up

Division and decision

Based on misconceptions

Climb into the box

And surrender our perceptions

Psychological

Seed sewing

From conception

Born into this false facade

The great deception

But the planet's

Still rich with resources

Forget about Kings

And Queens

And their forces

Forget the about politicians

And the corporates

We can all speak up

Or we all forfeit

Love is the only real truth

It can save us

Love for our fellow man

Love for our neighbours

Love can set us free

From this human behaviour

We can all choose

Let love be our saviour

Hands up

One time

For mankind

Hands up

Two time

Make a peace sign

We can free minds

Keep them hands high!

The cycle of

Oppression

Racism

Hatred

Inequality

Incarceration

Injustice

Intolerance

Brutality

Suffering

Starvation

War

And

Poverty

Has gone on

Far too long in our humanity

It's time

We break the cycle!

For far too long

We have tolerated these societies

Eurocentricity

Elitism

And capitalist ideologies

For far too long

We have seen suffering every day

For far too long

We have accepted that the world is this way

Evil prevails

When good people do nothing

Now is the time

We ALL must do something

It's time

We break the cycle!

It's time to unite

It's time for people of all races and cultures

To speak up for whats right

It's not enough to know that things are wrong

We must speak out against these wrongs

We must work together

To ensure ALL peoples human rights are upheld

And we must ensure

That all people are valued equally in this world

It's time

We break the cycle!

 

We must ensure that all people are treated fairly

Regardless of race, religion or culture

We must ensure that all people

Have housing, medical care, food and clean water

We must ensure that all people

Are protected and looked after

And we must ensure that love and unity

Are the things that bring us all together

It's time

We break the cycle!

There's a long way to go

And many mountains to climb

But together

We CAN change the world

Together

We CAN change these times

So together...

We must

LEARN MORE

We must

TEACH MORE

We must

LOVE MORE

We must

STOP WAR

Together we stand

Divided we fall

All for one

And one for all

PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!
