    Acknowledgement/ Thank you 5/22/11 7:38 PM

    I would like to thank the Most High for granting me both physical and

    spiritual gifts, my most precious lover Kara without whom these works of

    mine would never see the light of day. To all my readers who are enjoying

    themselves and to all the Citizens of Nutopia I would like to thank you for

    Apart of it 5/22/11 7:38 PM

    The walls of reality come tumbling down

    Ounce you find the right button to push

    The dream within a dream ends

    Ego, self, evaporate

    All is allNothing is real

    Sacredness is within each individual

    God is one with man but man must awake to this

    Only the cosmic being is real

    Everything else is illusion

    Blank mind is the title 5/22/11 7:38 PM

    Erase my mind

    Tidal wave of sleep

    Uproot my tree

    Coma sky

    A void waits

    Just beyond the horizon

    Take a dive in

    Oblivion never felt so safe

    Sunrise no surprise

    Another hour feels just like the last

    How many disappointments will I live through?

    Does anyone care?

    Jack is not nimble

    Jack is not quick

    In fact hes rather slow

    Murky waters have left him frail

    His pockets deep still he cant feel

    Green fairy comes quicklyTake me home again

    Ive had enough of this illusion

    Too many agents of doom run the show

    Broken in pieces I need to become hole

    Oblivion never felt so safe

    Oblivion is all that is safe

    Cream Pumpkin 5/22/11 7:38 PM

    Echoing voices from long ago

    Shape today

    Ignored by the millions

    Dreamed of by the few

    The living is deadThe dead are living

    A strange reality

    An unwanted truth

    Peace comes when we exist no more

    Judge Not 5/22/11 7:38 PM

    When people see me they start judging me

    By my hair

    By my skin

    By my everything

    Why are people always judging?By the hair

    By the skin

    By the everything

    Are we not passed these childish ways?

    Must we linger in kinder care ways?

    Pushing everyone far away

    Clinging to insecurities that are out dated

    Why people see me they start judging

    By my hair

    By my talk

    By my everything

    Why are people always judging?

    By my sex

    By my skin

    By my everything

    How many times will people tell me how I should dress?

    Saying I dont take myself seriously

    What is the measure of weakness?

    Is it by the size of your tits or by the size of your dick?

    People wake up- get educated

    People wake up- set aside your fears

    People wake up- live here and now

    People wake up- we are one under JAH

    Now I know that I talk funny

    Is that a reason to judge me dumb?

    If you get to know me you might be surprised

    Instead of condemning why not open your eyes

    Were one under JAH

    Were one under JAH

    Karas Shower 5/22/11 7:38 PM

    Underneath the sun I am no one

    Just a drop of rain

    Soon Ill be nothing

    A figment of the insane

    You are just like me

    Evaporating into eternity

    You and I are one

    Separated by acid illusions

    Lulled into unconsciousness

    Before birth is emptiness

    You are just like me

    Energy spreading eternity

    Living in a constant concept

    Pretending it has meaning

    Absorbed in the tilling shelf

    Until the day we wake up

    You are just like mePacify valiant eternity

    Heaven and Hell are here and now

    Heaven and Hell are here and now

    Heaven and Hell are here and now

    Heaven and Hell are here and now

    The al is all is we

    Drifting through eternity

    You live behind so many delusions

    Its hard to get your read on reality

    Youre always right even though youre wrong

    When your flaws are shown you get so angry

    You dont know how to disagreeHow many times can you hang the phone on me?

    Expecting me to take your next call

    Read books you dont even understand

    Refuse to do the basics you get overwhelmed

    Misunderstanding, interpreting unusual philosophy

    Im so tired of your circular conversations

    Stop asking questions you dont care for the answers

    Follow your emotions wherever they lead you

    Self-control is a virtue

    A messy life and an unwanted baby

    Thats all Arizona gave you

    See you next time in the welfare line

    This is were your emotions lead you

    This is good-bye my dear

    I always knew it would end this way

    Leave Blank 5/22/11 7:38 PM

    Tasting sky

    Dreaming tea

    Walking the line of sunrise

    MooneyesSilver ears

    Knowing the hiding truth

    Im squared

    Im on the level

    Catch the answered riddle

    Quenched illumination

    Done building that wall

    Free blue bird baby

    Nail in my feet

    Sleep in the cold

    Awake with the morning heat

    Steel on skin

    Glass on mindNo time to pretend

    Tuned into god

    Dropped off the grid

    Wall comes tumbling down

    Spirit dice

    Never your tongue

    Nature is my only friend

    Free love

    Free union

    Bend your knee to no human

    Look Now 5/22/11 7:38 PM

    Many people say they want the love of JAH

    They dont want to strive for it

    Believing they can do whatever they feel

    Saying His commandments are not real

    JAH loves those who love himJAH loves those who love him

    Many people claim to love the Most High

    They dont help the poor as they walk by

    Some people praise the lord all day

    Yet they cant tell you what the scriptures say

    JAH loves those who love him

    JAH loves those who love him

    For real

    Its not always sunny in Nutopia

    Sometimes clouds roll in

    Obscuring liberation

    Placing you in a prison

    But you cant fearThey will pass

    They will pass

    Isolation never lasts

    no moment 5/22/11 7:38 PM

    Sometimes you move forward

    Just to stand still

    The hourglass is almost empty

    You could have sworn it was full

    A moment in time is no moment at all

    At the end of a very long line

    Checkout is broken but itll still scan you

    Its all a guessing game

    Still you stand there with your products just the same

    A moment in time is no moment at all

    You stair up, down, and you think youre all a lone

    Packing your bags when youre already home

    Build a house, had a career, you were never satisfied

    Always looking for another bite but the plates are all-empty

    A moment in time is no moment at all

    A moment in time is no moment at all

    Who are you going to follow?

    Now that your heros are dead

    All you have is an empty tomorrow

    Without a single dream left in your head

    I wonderI wonder

    Will you be able to turn the page?

    Or will you get set in your ways?

    If the past is your only friend

    What are you doing in the present then?

    I wonder

    I wonder

    Why do the young fill you with rage?

    Is your former self in their gaze?

    Dont worry your time away

    Theyll become you one day

    Its such a sad circle

    But it keeps rolling on

    Dreams turn to dustOnly then do you know were you belong

    In the end

    Does any of it have meaning?

    I wonder

    I wonder

    Just stay were you belong

    Self-less 5/22/11 7:38 PM

    I have become less myself to be with you

    Placed myself under surveillance

    Divided my personality traits

    To make you comfortable with me

    I am not as carefree as I would like

    Continually scanning the brain picking the right topics

    Walking on broken glass for you

    Still you send me to the coals and shower

    Always on red alert

    Being the me that you want me to be

    One day Ill be who I ounce was

    If I can find myself back to that person

    Everyday I stay in your garden

    The more I give myself away

    I have become less myself to be with you

    Smile 5/22/11 7:38 PM

    How much longer must we dance around this pole?

    Trying to move forward with nowhere to go

    A brick wall would be a nice excuse

    Would it stop the pain inside?

    Our eyes never meet due to our pride

    In an open field were trying to hide

    Can we make sense of the mess we made?

    Or are we both rain in the shade?

    Id give you a box of smiles if it would brighten your day

    Would that help us find our way?

    Speaking without feelings makes the air thick

    This tossed coin is making it hard to think

    Our veneer is chipping what will we do

    When were naked its only me and you

    Id give a box of smiles if it would brighten your day

    Would that help us find our way?

    Take off your daystar nice and slow

    Show me the meaning of mind control

    With your guru smile

    With your tongue twirling miles

    Give me your rug burn voodoo

    Tied up frosting windmill

    O black Madonna let me hear you sing

    Its not the tune Im interested in

    If you can slide I can split you

    Show you a misfit too

    Shotgun

    Shotgun

    Shotgun

    Fork in the road she is a mantis

    No more games no more practice

    Dragon milk its time to swallow

    Through blue shades 5/22/11 7:38 PM

    I feel myself losing grip on reality

    Drawn into dreams

    The world of static fades

    Limited life morphs into illusions of the limitless

    Narrow minds repel meI stop in the open fields of thought

    War disgusts me

    Pacify, peace, my home is build

    Hatred cant sustain my soul

    Only love can cause me to take flight

    I feel myself drifting

    Drifting away

    Drifting away

    And I am thrilled

    What will you say when the world crumbles?

    What will you do when it falls apart?

    What will you do when you know all your threats are wrong?

    You can build yourself upCreate magnificent works of art

    Cities that will boggle future minds

    Be as academic as youd like to be

    One day,

    Itll all blow away

    One day,

    It will be swallowed by the sun

    You can make progressive technology

    Regenerate parts of the anatomy

    Go to distant galaxies

    Travel the speed of light

    One day

    Itll all blow away

    One dayIt will be swallowed by ice

    What will you do when your existence means nothing?

    Bekle Berhane is a writer, musician, and Marijuana advocate from Boston

    Massachusetts. His style of writing varies, he goes from Blank Verse to

    surreal nonsense at neck breaking speed. He is something of an anti-artist.

    He approaches everything he does with a D.I.Y. ethic.
