Hacking the News

I want to hack the news
By speaking to your soul.
Take it easy:
You will live, you will love,
And you will die.
No one can take that from you,
Not even the worst psychopath.
Take it easy.
It’s up to you to refuse the brainwashing,
Urging you to stand for one side or another.
Up to you to see the colors
In this black and white story,
Up to you to study History.
You can let fear and hate
Dictate your position,
Feed your opposition.
Or you can love and meditate
On our condition,
Feed your revolution.
This is great news.
The whole world can change now,
And it is all happening within yourself.
We don’t choose the timing of our experience,
Nor do we choose its landscapes,
But we own our reactions, our directions,
We own our revolution
To turn our petty selves
Into a shining part of a greater Self.
Leaving our jails,
We awaken our cells
To extend our human Odyssey,
The call from our souls.

Freedom is Slavery!

I am a white man,
So, I know all about menopause,
Abortion, periods, childbirth,
Not to mention breastfeeding.
I even have a friend
Who is a woman.
I am an expert,
And you should listen to me,
Except if you are a woke dictator,
Threatening my free hatred-speech.
Let me judge you,
Let me lecture you,
Let me insult you,
Or I will feel discriminated.
If you disagree,
You are brainwashed.
If you argue,
You are hysterical.
If you dare to correct me,
You are the real oppressor.
We can’t tell anything anymore.
I can’t tell white race is superior
Or you will call me a racist!
I can’t tell we should jail all leftists
Or you will call me a fascist!
I can’t tell women to stay in the kitchen
Or you will call me a misogynist!
What a world!
Where are our dear values of authority,
And submission?
Where are our strong leaders,
Showing the truth to the masses?
We live in a time of decadence,
But I see hope at the end of the tunnel,
As wise and powerful men,
Rise on the horizon of a reality
Where finally
War is peace,
Freedom is slavery,
And ignorance is strength!

Ignorance

We don’t fight because we are different,
We fight because we are the same.
We see the same sky,
Same sun, same clouds.
It hurts when we fall,
And we rise again.
We feel the same joy,
The same absurdity.
We all die,
Do we all love?
We fight because we are ignorant,
And can never overcome it.
Knowledge is an illusion:
We are, but we can’t know,
We can only experience.

Voices of Unity

I hear the ancient voices
Singing of Life and Unity.
I hear wise men and women
Walking the road to fraternity.
I hear the shouting
Of kings and masters,
I hear the blood spilling
And the chains creaking.
I hear the screaming
From the burned and the crucified,
Brothers and sisters,
Killed before their hour.
I hear the suffering and the peace,
Beyond time.
I hear despair and hope in the future:
I hear we will stop killing one another,
Love each other,
Welcome pains and joys
With the same confidence.
All has been said,
But so little has been heard.
Let’s repeat,
This is the voice of the future:
Love one another.
Look all around the misery of our condition.
Struggles and murders,
Fears and futility,
Hate and slavery.
Voices of peace and unity
Are drowned in barbaric rhetoric
And short-sighted stories.
I won’t listen anymore
To the chaotic babbling of my time.
I prefer the voices from beyond,
Voices from the Ancients
And from the future.
The voices of silence,
Bringing peace to our noisy times,
Bringing love and unity to our species.

La Sagesse de nos 20 Ans

On est sérieux lorsqu’on a 20ans,
Porté par nos rêves, et par le vent.
Affûtés pour l’éveil,
Les sens voués à l’instant.
Expérience sans pareil
Ouverte à l’existant.

On est sérieux lorsqu’on a 20ans,
C’est plus tard que l’on devient insignifiant.
Voiture, crédit, travail,
Tant de futilités,
L’inconséquence des rêves mutilés.
L’essence de l’Etre en jachère,
Les sens coincés dans le décor.
Sortie de route.
Oublier le doute,
Pour de vaines certitudes.
La maladie de l’adulte
Qui pense savoir,
Alors qu’il a arrêté de chercher,
Qui confond son devoir
Avec sa vanité.

On est sérieux lorsqu’on a 20ans.
Par la suite on devient ennuyeux,
Ce que l’on appelle devenir vieux.
Mais il n’est point de fatalité.
L’Esprit n’est pas le corps.
La fatigue des cellules
Peut enfermer
Ou donner du recul,
A celui qui sait s’émerveiller.
Homo economicus,
Est l’adulte archétypal :
Un colosse aux pieds d’argile
Un colosse à tête d’imbécile.
Il se pavane, maître illusoire,
Détruisant ce qu’il croit avoir conquis.
Il pille le monde de ses richesses
Et se refuse à sa propre sagesse,
La sagesse de nos 20 ans…

Devenir

La bête se meut dans le ventre de la Cité.
La bête se déploie sous nos yeux résignés.
Pourrissement profond,
Décomposition,
Pour un nouvel humus,
Le renouveau attendu
Sous les décombres de l’Ancien.
Transformation progressive, agressive,
Ruptures et tremblements.
Tout n’est qu’orgueil
A travers le temps…
Parfois nos écueils
Nous délivrent à temps.
De passage en nos corps,
Nous cheminons vers la mort.
Rien à prouver,
Rien à faire,
Tout à aimer,
Tant à défaire.
La Vie est un Don,
Anima animée.
Ensemble nous brûlons
Sans nous consumer.
Fini de consommer,
Nous sommes.
Vivre c’est aimer,
Devenir en somme…
Seules de nouvelles moissons
Transformeront la bête.
Le souffle de nos visions
Dévoile sa défaite.

Rain

“We’re at war with nature. If we win, we’re lost.”
― Hubert Reeves

I am the rain.
Born of the sky,
I fall drop by drop,
And dance in the wind.
I am the lifeblood of the earth,
The giver, the destroyer,
The healer and the killer.
I am Water,
Weaving through the veins of the world,
From the streams to the rivers,
From the clouds to the endless seas.
I am hope and despair,
Beautiful and cruel.
It took billions of years
For my cycles to attune,
But it is all changing now.
I am mad and I am lost,
I gather my wrath in heavy clouds
Ready to burst and unleash my might.
If you wage a war against Nature,
Once you win,
You are lost.
I am the rain,
The holy water
I am one with human,
Emerging from the same primordial sea.
I am a part of everything—
The puddles, the rivers,
The stones, the lakes, the seas.
I am in the clouds,
In the roots of trees,
In the pulse of animals.
Each drop moves with the whole
Each drop plays its own role…
I am the rain, I am water,
And I am eternal.

President

Please dear daughter,
Stop listening at school,
If you want to become President.
Please my son,
Quit reading,
If you want to become President.
Praise the rich,
Despise the poor,
If you want to be President.
Lose your mind,
Lose your soul,
If you want to be President.
You should judge all others,
Feel you are much better,
If you want to be President.
Give up on sanity,
Embrace evil and trickery,
If you want to be President.
No more Love,
Instead, an illusion of power.
No more mystery,
Instead, an illusion of destiny,
If you want to be President.
You got offered Life and its eternity,
But if you prefer to go down in history,
Feel free to lose your humanity,
And you may become President.

Miroir Infini

Je marche immobile,
Le paysage défile,
Alors que je m’installe en ma conscience.
J’observe la ville,
Les passants, mes pensées,
Alors que survient la douce Présence.
Je prie à tous vents,
J’embrasse le Temps,
Alors que s’étend mon horizon intérieur.
Je ris tout seul,
Je souris à la feuille,
Alors qu’elle tombe de l’arbre à mon carnet.
J’écris sur ses ramures,
Je traverse les murs,
Et propage la sagesse de la Nature.
Je reprends la marche,
Cette fois-ci assis,
Alors que les paysages défilent en mon Esprit.
J’observe sans voir,
Je me laisse traverser,
Par cet infini miroir à la source de nos Vies.

Sous le Ciel

Je suis assis
Sous un arbre,
Sous le Ciel.
Je suis assis
Les pieds sur terre,
Les pieds sur la planète.
Chaque molécule d’air que j’inspire
Provient de loin,
A travers l’espace et le temps.
J’envoie chaque bouffée que j’expire
A l’autre bout de la Terre,
A l’autre bout du Temps.
Les atomes qui me constituent
Sont éternels.
Toujours là,
Ils s’assemblent et se désassemblent
Pour supporter diverses formes éphémères :
Une plante, un insecte ou un sapiens,
La même danse de la vie
Qui s’offre et se disperse.
La Vie passe à travers moi.
Je suis Vie,
Et je ne sais pas ce que je suis.
Je ne suis pas mes atomes,
Ni ce corps,
Composé de milliards de cellules et de bactéries.
Je suis invisible au-delà de ce corps.
Je suis éternel au-delà de ce corps.
Je suis au-delà,
Entre Terre et Ciel,
Je suis.
