Revolution of Spirit Rap

The chapters of your life are rife with ego,
but greater than the ego is the soul.
Your humanity may just be
your current starring role
in a whole play
about the way,
the way we grow our soul.

So, my friend,
as you end this scene
and begin again,
be free from the constraints of mortality
and other people’s morality
and let your spirit fly.

They say the microcosm reflects the macrocosm
and vice versa.
As within, so without,
as above so below,
don’t ya know
that the forces battling around the globe
are the very forces battling for our collective soul?

Your first battle should be your own
‘cause it’s only when you get to know
the inner foe,
that you truly recognize
those who tyrannize
those who have no way to say no.
Once you vanquish the inner tyrant,
you can become a giant
of compassion,
and fashion
a foundation for our nation.

So, heal thyself and light the way,
the eve of destruction has had its day.
Let each of us discuss
our wounds and fears
and heal with the tears of the Phoenix.
Once we acknowledge
that my pain is your pain is their pain,
we can see
that we are all starring in the same drama
on different stages across the ages.

Whether its emotional
political
financial
or archetypal,
it’s all sound and fury,
smoke and mirrors,
reflecting the original Passion Play,
deus ex machinae.

It’s all about unity or separation,
whether it’s a nation
or your own mind,
now is the time
for all good men and women to:
focus
pray
meditate
create
an alternate reality
of Unity.

Reconstruction
must begin within
for anything else,
I have come to the conclusion,
is facade and illusion.
The control freaks
have created their dream,
a nightmare
which we are forced to accept
at every step
but I reject
this fatalistic notion
that our dream
should be squashed by the machine.

We have the ability,
we have the power,
to turn the tide
on the infanticide
of my childhood dream:
to nourish
the love,
creativity,
and freeing
of every being
on the planet, dammit!
