One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

swum in a freezing ocean in freezing weather, we ran
like kenyan marathon runners to get warm, afterwards

jumping off a four plus story high waterfall (i got whiplash! it was worth it but never again).

going fish and coral diving with a nude fisherman

bushwacking up the slope of a rocky coast cliff that i'd climbed up and couldn't get down so i had to make it up to highway one in california, got HORRIBLE poison oak

many more reckless dumb unforgettable things

Teach, Learn, Share

Sovereign souls don´t hate the order that molds mud
Into objects and time into memories,
We object to the structure imposed on by bureaucrats
Who pretend to know best but they leave out the rest

In order to leach off the masses,
They teach that autocracy, plutocracy, theocracy, democracy
Is the way to utopia
That grass spawns murderers
And Islam mass-murderers
It´s all the same since the dawn we stopped using our brains,
If you let others do the planning,
It´ll soon turn to dystopia,

You must man your own body,
Command your own mind,
No man, nor woman can feed you the scam
But from the onset of greed,
We´ve all been cerebrally damned
