The Collective Obligation

The most notable factor to today's ever evolving cycle of prejudice, racism and xenophobia in the United States, is the total failure within the Department of Education and American Scholastic Societies' who improperly processed and altered unequivocal facts and truths...  ...facts and consequences of all revelations, conflicts and resolutions within or without the United States of America since it's inception.  Most notably the American Civil War. For those of you who wish to believe in your teachers, friends and family's misguided educations, who proclaim: "...that the Civil War was not about slavery? It was about states rights and had nothing to do with slavery.." you are being lead down a false & slippery slope.  Enclosed below is 'The Cornerstone Speech' which newly appointed: Alexander H. Stephens, Vice President of the Confederacy States of America wrote and addressed his Confederate constituents on March 22nd, 1861__ ......."The

This country has been given a huge opportunity for an influential, charismatic and enlightened individual to step in and steer this explosion of civil disobedience. Where are my music colleagues? Where are the young Music Idols who bravely (through their lyrics) wade into the fray without understanding the responsibility of what they say to the young.     We make marters of HipHop Idols who embolden Violence and Drugs after they are shot by rival hoods, we are pulverized with headlines and news stories for days over Rock Idol Heroin Addicts who blow themselves away with shot guns, but no one steps up to the mic and make a desperate plea to the public for Peace, Compliance, Inspiration and to Organize and Rise Up and March in Peaceful Protest over the systematic prejudice and racial suppression in the U.S. Where are you?  It is very sad that ‘our society’  needs the leaders, such as sport idols, movie idols, music idols to awaken rudderless people! The complacency of a soci

When one believes they are the smartest person in the room: cognitive mindfulness ends and all things around them cease to nourish. The radical far left and the extreme militant right will never find true victory without destroying the other. For they are unable to listen and understand what is beyond themselves. Condemning all to eternal human conflict, terror, sadness and tragedy. Hence the perpetual human condition of the lowest common denominator. #peace #Love #thecollectiveobligation @AndrewRGardiner @BLMLA #BLMLA @ElsieLaura @BeInPurpose @DanRather @morningmika @FareedZakaria @smerconish @GBrowneMarshall @MarilynMosbyEsq # hope # peace # love @givepeaceachance # stillIrise # thecollectiveobligation # humanism # brokenminds # darkness # freedom # IamAman # blm @hope      _______________________________________________________    @TomMaclear It is the collective obligation of humankind to ensure the peace and to embolden ethical and moral deeds which

I have a dream ... what is your dream? To Rise up and Protest, to strive to achieve CHANGE from the injustice, oppression, prejudice and systematic torture and murder of a people... one must first understand the ‘mathematics’ of a righteous and legitimate Civil/Revolution. For this, one must earn the respect of a Judicial System and Government that represents the society of which you chose to change: by setting non-violent and intellectually-based precedents. “For the people of the people by the people”... Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr were two individuals who, through their studies, practice and life experiences gained possession of the complex “equations” which moved the ‘Mathematics Of Law and Governance’ .... solely for this profound struggle of human existence. One of these men brought the British Empire to its knees, the other achieved the greatest Constitutional change within the United States which this country (or the world) has not witness

GODS AND GHOSTS From the prince to the pauper From the jester to the queen From the peasant to the privileged Its the way it’s always been Its all the self appointed Gods Who take what once was free And sell us back our freedoms Like it was theirs to give or keep_ The ghosts write speeches for the statesmen Who are bought and sold by Gods Who promise wealth and substance But the substance is the fraud Wealth is just a state of mind For gold is just a stone The wealth is in the masses Oh, if the masses only spoke__ Gods and Ghosts, Gods and Ghosts   The money floats in rivers To the self-appointed Gods Who were painted in by righteous clowns By a godless server's chore  Lies live inside imbeciles The Gods refuse to see Oblivious aristocrats   …. As judgment falls on thee__   The ghost writes for the faces Whom the Gods have choose Who chose to play the orator For the masses far removed Spirits who have

    Some of my best friends and I have lived this, marched in this, wrote songs about this, protested in city halls and universities about this 50 years ago.    I am so very disappointed that nothing, absolutely nothing we attempted to create within our Counter Culture movement succeeded in creating a lasting enlightenment of consciousness for the people in this country.    In my world, I was proud to stand on the shoulders of my creative and enlightened mentors such as Dylan, Lennon, Baez and scores of other musicians who took a stand and lifted up the moral compass and took their hits from the bigots and haters while alienating themselves from half of their fans who refused to learn, grow and rise up into the same enlightenment.    With this being said,  I am calling out my musician friends, my film maker friends my fellow poets and social activist friends to rise up and pull your heads out of the sand!    Stop worrying about whether your downloads might suffer your concert at
