Creative Burst
"But why should honour outlive honesty?" William Shakespeare,'Othello'.
Innocence (Part 2 Featuring Faystee)
More glad tidings from another artist losing his mind in
More radical patterns than he's putting his rhymes in.
Rhyming's like life, just breath, rhythm and timing,
Inspiration leads to imagination giving the shining light
Climbing right up my spine – Oh, just hitting like lightning
Right in my noggin – No drugs, still getting high friend.
The Doors in my mind then break open like hymen
Imagination leads to creation, breathing the life in.
No lust for pearls, girls and materials that devour
No just a world where we rule ourselves, not each other, no need to cower.
Know yourself, love yourself, fate will make your love shower
Others. Knowledge ain't to dominate, it's the power
To see "a world in a grain of sand, Heaven in a wild flower
…Hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour"
Like William Blake, 'til you see them snakes
But forgive their hate, then you'll see their fates.
Chorus/Hook:
I am the darkness that is the light, I am the stillness that is the dancing.
I am the Blue, Planetary, moonlit Night – Mayan, Hip-Hop Shaman chanting.
(Repeat)
I'm in a State of Transition – a state of change
Still deciphering the mission that my fate arranged.
Doing too much thinking can break the brain,
Doing too much drinking won't take the pain away.
Brought up a Christian but my tastes have changed, I strayed
Away from religion – only faith remains. I say
Eternity's infinite – life ain't long.
Prefer to be concerned with the eternal, see my faith's too strong.
I read Islam, Judaism, general theology,
R.E. was G.C.S.E. but my degree English and Philosophy.
I'd prefer Nirvana to Samsara obviously,
I know I don't like the cold but Hell's probably to hot for me!
Nothing that I read satisfied my curiosity
From the Hiram Key to the Celestine Prophecy.
Taking Liberties opened the Doors of Perception
To a Brave New World with neither flaws nor perfection.
Chorus/Hook:
I am the darkness that is the light, I am the stillness that is the dancing.
I am the Blue, Planetary, moonlit Night – Mayan, Hip-Hop Shaman chanting.
(Repeat)
Nothing scared me more than the book of Revelations.
BC we called them prophets now they look like mental patients
'Cos we lose patience if we can't understand by science.
No negotiations they take land by violence.
It was written there'd be war in nations ran by tyrants.
You're only hearing more war or sirens and my silence
Gives consent so they tempt me to vent my anger
With my vocal talent I believe was Heaven sent.
I came to the conclusion I was born to have a positive effect
On as many people as possible
I don't always succeed I need to keep myself in check
Usually doing what's moral isn't profitable.
With my flows and my prose I communicate with words
I can't adjudicate life's gifts and life's blows, I just observe.
I used to meditate simply to ease the tension
Now it's to clear my chakras for dimension ascension!
"Blue Bell ballet, come dance in my Snowdrop...
Blue Bell ballet... Hamstead Heath features...
Blue Bell ballet, come dance in my Snowdrop...
Blessed with blue skies, sunshine and light breeze...
Blue Bell ballet, come dance in my Snowdrop...
Blue Bell ballet... Hamstead Heath features...
Blue Bell ballet, come dance in my Snowdrop...
Circling the Evergreen, the world is my teacher."

"And I made a rural pen,
And I stained the water clear,
And I wrote my happy songs
Every child may joy to hear."
William Blake, from the Introduction to 'Songs of Innocence'
"Thanks to the human heart by which we live,
Thanks to its tenderness, its joys and fears,
To me the meanest flower that blows can give
Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears."
William Wordsworth, from 'Ode (Immortality)'.
Ascension
Ascension, raising conciousness
Meditation and Healing channelled into God Essence
The Inner Child wanders enchanted forests hence
Fairy glens and mossy glades give solid connections
To Earth. In the Garden of Eden through contemplation
Masculine and feminine unite through meditation.
Christ Conciousness - Love, Compassion, Oneness.
I'm blessed, you're blessed. Take what you want from this.
Bring light to the dark, stop fearing the cold.
I search for Spikenard and Etherium Gold.
More Love in their hearts, organic weed for their farms.
Bare feet on bare earth, no need to bare arms.
Arms are for hugging, not holding guns and thugging.
Eyes to the sky, sun-light your third eye!
Telepathy works best but for now I try
With words to express you are me - I and I.

"In 1997, Jodie Williams, then a Vermont-based grassroots activist, won the Nobel peace prize for helping to create a treaty banning antipersonnel land mines despite the opposition of the Pentagon, the strongest bureacracy in the strongest country in the world. She organised her campaign on the internet. In 1999, fifteen hundred groups and individuals met in Seattle and disrupted an important meeting of the World Trade Organisation. Again, much of their campaign was planned on the Internet." Joseph S Nye Jr, from 'The Paradox of American Power'.
"...I'm ready to expose the few facts I know
so Hip-Hoppers can worry less about ice, clothes and hoes,
more about the World Trade Organisation the W.T.O.s

Magic Mushroom Season and FRANK - England's National Drug Helpline
Magic Mushroom season is nearly upon us! In fact even in London I have spied some mushrooms that have looked suspiciously like beige smurf hats (my own unique verification process to find England's native magic mushroom, The Liberty Cap.)
This year our ever so intelligent government has made magic mushrooms illegal. Yes, something that grows naturally on our unfair and pleasant land has been criminalised. How can mother nature be illegal? I don't know, I'm just a closet hippy masquerading as a London rudeboy.
I was going to say something about the law, then I realised that I don't know what the law says anymore, so what do you do? Talk to Frank! So I did.
"If you're in a field and you were to pic them you would get 'done' for that. If they're in your garden there's nothing you can do about that. But as soon as you prepare them they're a class A drug and you could get 'done' for possession."
In fact apparently nothing has changed there, it's just the fact that mushrooms in growing kits and fridges are now Class A rather than being as legal as mushrooms in the ground. But most of you know that you can't purchase growing kits anymore.
So, now that we all know that the only way to legally trip out, get closer to nature and have the mushroom spirits remind us that everything is connected is to get on your hands and knees and eat them straight out of God's green earth, I phoned Frank again and double checked that. "I don't know how they would taste like that" she said (Frank was a Northern woman both times.)
"I do" I replied. You all know that I wouldn't advocate any law breaking. No, not me.
So... if you e-mail a request to thcsociety@gmail.com, to celebrate mushroom season I will send you my song all about picking mushrooms, written and recorded while I was a student at my old uni (which had mushrooms all over the Rugby pitch)... I hope you enjoy 'Taking Liberties'...

"...the powerful grace that lies
In plants, herbs, stones, and their true qualities:
For nought so vile, that on earth doth live,
But to the earth some special good doth give"
William Shakespeare, from 'Romeo and Juliet'
"There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream,
The earth, and every common sight,
To me did seem
Apparelled in celestial light,
The glory and the freshness of a dream."
William Wordsworth, from 'Ode. Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood
"Courts and prosecutors may be ingenius - after all it is their law - but they cannot finesse away a revolution whose time has come." Margaret Burnam, co-counsel to Miss Davis, from 'If They Come in the Morning'.
Elective Dictatorship
When they enforce the laws that are already in place,
The U.S. and UK will become police states.
Then you'll know the meaning of elective dictactorship -
Then there'll be no freedom, the head of state's taken it.

The Warrior
They're not really out there
They're merely a projection of our fear,
When we replace fear with love they disappear.
Vortex cannot identify objects flying in mid-air.

With deadly radiation, changing it to Orgone -
Beneficial electro-magnetic waves.
Let them bless you, I get so amazed.
The body is just a vessel. Don't be afraid... or a slave.

"...the segregation die-hards were to attempt still once more to destroy the peace. On May 20 the headlines announced that more than a thousand students who had participated in the demonstrations had been either suspended or expelled by the city's Board of Education. I am convinced that this was another attempt to drive the Negro community to an unwise and impulsive move... I rushed back to Birmingham to persuade the leaders that we must not fall into the trap... On May 22... Judge Tuttle ruling indicated, it is an act of irresponsibility to drive those youngsters from school in retaliation for having engaged in legally permissible action to achieve their constitutional rights... It was a jubilant moment, another victory in the titanic struggle." Martin Luther King, Jr, from 'Why We Can't Wait'
"How shall I go in peace without sorrow?" Kahlil Gibran, 'The Prophet'
"I'm for whatever gets results. I don't go for any kind of organisation - be it civil rights or any other kind - that has to compromise with the power structure and has to rely on certain elements within the power structure for their financing, which puts them in a position to be influenced and controlled all over again by the power structure itself." Malcolm X, from interview, Station WBAI- FM, January 28, 1965

Love, Peace and Harmony what is there to fear?

Notes -
Knowledge is Power was my stage name for a long time, but KP stands for Kev the Poet now. Why? I don't know, I guess that's what this thread is for - maybe someone else will voice my subconcious thoughts for me ;)
Remember, knowledge and wisdom are two different things. George Bush could read the Kyoto treaty from back to front but if he can't apply that knowledge he's still none the wiser. Is that too controversial? Can he read?
I digress, but the question remains... Is knowledge power?
Did knowing all this make me feel powerful?
Actually no... but I don't think I'll ever feel powerful because I'm generally disinclined to use power. Maybe that is why I dropped the stage name.
I think having the stage name originates from a desire not to be dominated, but I have no desire to dominate. It was also a message rather than a statement - it was not a statement of 'I have knowledge and therefore power' it was a message of 'arm yourselves with knowledge'.
Knowing all that does make me feel priveledged. Maybe it shouldn't make me feel priveledged but it does.
I don't feel powerful over those that know less, knowledge is subjective, knowledge could be disinformation. However I do feel pity for people who believe the tabloids, are ignorant of free energy and don't realise that alot of what was once called "Hippy rubbish" is now called "Quantum Physics." Maybe I shouldn't feel pity but I do. Is that patronising or compassion?
"I am a barbarian in this place because I am not understood by anyone...
To remember everything is a form of madness." Brian Friel, from 'Translations'

Confession (A Poem)
I'm not a bitter person. I'm not an angry person. Right now I'm... disappointed. In fact fuck it, right now I'm bitter and angry!
Unfortunately I only seem to be moved to write when I'm pissed off, it's the only thing that motivates me to be creative recently.
I am slowly turning into the type of person I have always hated. I'm becoming a superficial money obsessed woman hater. If you told me two years ago that I could write something like that I would hve laughed at you. But two years ago I chose to stay in the jobless Stoke-On-Trent to stay with my girlfriend instead of following good sense and money and moving back to London to start a career in media. Since then my ex has told me in no uncertain term that she would never have made that sort of sacrifice for me and my career has been forever dented by the year of customer service and telesales I did when I should have been writing. Women were also responsible for me leaving the only decent job I ever had, as I had to quit because I never wanted to see two bitches I worked with ever again. Things haven't got so bad that I call all women bitches, just the one's that deserve it. Since then I have gone to ¬X¬X¬X¬X to follow my heart only to have it broken, I have gone to ¬X¬X¬X¬X to follow my heart only to have it broken. I am beginning to wonder if I should stop following my heart and start following my dick and my wallet like every other cunt. And my attempt to keep away from the corporate life by hiring bars and becoming a club promoter was partly scuppered by the fact that some of my so-called friends were too posh to be seen going to a bar on Holloway Road yet they still expect me to pay to enjoy their company in posh wine bars. Fuck off.
I no longer have any tolerance. I used to be a tolerant man. I can't keep a job because I know what it feels like to get paid £16000 a year to do something you love and I was forced to leave it due to selfish work mates. How can I put effort into customer service for £10000 after that? I have so-called friends deliberately making me jealous, my parents blaming me for every failure when to be perfectly honet all I've done was follow my dreams and make sacrifices for ungrateful bitches. The story of my life.
You see there are 3 misconceptions that my so-called friends have about me. 1 - Kev never had a decent job. 2 - Kev's a nice guy that never gets angry. And my personal favourite - 3 - Kev's always smiling.
Well I wrote for a multinational computer catalogue but not for the last time the ambition of my workmates meant I was spat out of the corporate life.
I'm not in the least bit depressed, or suicidal, I'm fucking angry. And I'm sick to fucking death of smiling all the fucking time, telling everybody everythings alright and going home to cry.
KP aka Kev the Poet
Note - I wrote this in 2004.
"Confession" was an essay that became a prose poem which became an experimental Hip-Hop track
but it basically originated from the things I couldn't tell my friends and parents.
Since then I have followed good sense and intuition and moved to Bristol! I no longer hate women (I didn't hate them then either, only the day I wrote that I woke up possessed by hopelessness and bitter anger.) In fact I worship the Goddess, long live Gaia and long live Venus!
The love and support of my friends has given me back my tolerance. I have no desire to be rich and famous, I would be perfectly happy with poor and legendary - a status I am working on creating (yes, I still have to work on my ego.)
Rather than seeing work as a place where I generate cash, I see myself as a vessel for receiving it. And rather than seeing work as a place I have to go I see it as a place I choose to sacrifice time for the greater good.
I don't need London, I don't need posh wine bars, I don't need women - and I don't need to cry anymore! I'm surrounded by shaman and goddesses and when I return to London I will have my spiritual armour on!

Making Orgone Generators on a Budget
If you want to know what an orgone generator is the best description I can give is that it is a structure made of an organic crystaline resin, quartz crystals and metal that changes deadly radiation and electromagnetic waves into positve energy and/or chi. Yes, really. Check out Deep Sheeyat! if you're skeptical.
I was adapting the instructions for making a Holy Hand-Grenade from Educate Yourself which recommended "Five double-terminate quarts crystals, at least an inch long" and "polyester resin or epoxy resin" and also "a couple of cups of aluminum particles (OR a pint of BB’s)"
I had been making orgone generators on a budget. Basically that means I'd been making small ones using candlewax instead of fibreglass resin for the organic epoxy and using only two or three crystals.
but it looks like epoxy resin is the best bet. What's epoxy resin? If you live in England walk into a hardware store and ask for 'Fast Glass', that's what you're looking for. I'll tell you how I get on after I get on!Clicky, clicky... Who is the THC Society? What is the THC Society?
