I let go of my lucky bird
I let go of my lucky bird
And its a zero gravity zone
Sending comets left and right
I’m drawing time in the dust, in the sand
Draw me like a Michael Angelou
I know michiavelli’s a little tense
Lol he could use a glass of wine and. A quick fuck
Maybe learn a thing or two from Rasputin.
He had his fuck’s and his nose up the Tsar’s business
Who knows maybe if we didn’t go to WW1 we’d still be a monarchy
Learning how to operate in the zero gravity of my mind
Baby don’t worry , he said,
And played me some Bob Marley
Smooth talking’ masterpiece
But all I wanna do is have a good time
I know Rousseau’s a bit psychotic
Hence why the playwrights copied him
Well, the constitution of the United States of course,
Didn’t Shakespeare say all of life’s a play
And we’re merely players and actors staring in different parts
In our own lives and others
And by the things that are occurring, it really does feel like a screen play
I mean, life, the constitution,
And the way things are occurring
Read the UN’s sustainable development goals
And the Declaration of Human Rights
And then read you some Pride and Prejudice
And see, we’re not so different you see.
If music be the food of love, then play on , isn’t that
Lol, Romeo and Juliet, the Twelfth Night,
Trying to star in my own plays, playing Jane Eyre
And learning Chekov, but what’s the point.
Take me to a cave, a cenote in Mexico, and let’s go swimming baby
Mexian Sky, send me the lyrics
Let’s dance them out loud.
Well, they do say Einstein was a little crazy.
Philosophizing on Locke, Hobbes, the Buddha, and whoever else comes to mind
Don’t tell me about Gandhi, mother teresa, nelson Mandela, and the way the changed the apartheid
Don’t tell me about the way he got through those 29 years
Tell me about your own Valley of the Shadw of Death, and how you got through it.
Don’t tell me about the theoritical equations of quantum physics and mechanics,
I know every theorem on quantum mechanics and the double slit experiemnt
I wanna know about the theorum’s in your mind
The equations you keep solving in your head about your next move
Please don’t tell about how Putin still poses anti’ gay rights
Tell me why it moves you.
Don’t tell me about the job you have
Tell me why you haven’t left
Tell have you ever let go
Have you ever danced underneath a sunrise
Or swam in an ocean at midnight
These things, it changes you
Have you ever wondered how small you are
Or at the bottom of a valley,
Makes you realize we’re just a speck in the universe
I’m not a fan of Eastern philosophy
But it does have some sense
Tell me about the occurrences of your own heart
Your own mount Everests you’ve conquered
Tell me about what brings your soul to life
Have you ever been so ecstatically happy, so ridulously joyous against all odds,
That you felt your heart was gonna burst right out your chest, tell me what that felt like
Did you ever point at a map, a single location, a random destination and just went spontaneously
Have you ever integrated in a culture that’s not your own.
I have, and it changes you.
Have you ever travelled somewhere, just for a good cause, with people you don’t even know,
Have you ever stared at the sky and wondered how these clouds
Have been here for millennia’s, I have, and it changes you.
Have you ever worked your butt off to become the best in your field,
I have, and it changes you.
You know Rumi said live as though the whole world’s rigged in your favour
Jesus said if you pray in my name and believe it shall be done for you
Do you believe? In the Lion of Judah.
That’s there’s better in store, a new day coming.
Ah, I know, you’re not into all this drama or philosophy,
You’re not into contemplation, or the purpose of life.
You’re not mundane, but you’re practical, one foot in, one out. All right, lets play a game.
Guaranteed I’ll beat you at chess.
How about Tony Robbins, or Zuckerberg, or your idol, Steve Jobs,
Well he woke up each day as if it’s his last, if that isn’t mindset, then I don’t know what is.
How about your programming, tell what is the wire, the neurocircuits that fire the electrons in your body.
Tell me how your neurons function. What is it that keeps you living, breathing, functioning, and moving forward.
Do you believe in a higher power, that maybe there’s more.
Oh, you believe in Elon Musk, well then baby boy, he’s still a hustler.
Stop throwing all your bluff
And blow job techniques and rituals of seduction
Stop telling about how you got this girl or that in bed
Tell me, have you ever made love? So passionately, you thought your life had changed.
Was it real, or was it just a fling. Did you ever wake up to the gaze of a lover and know your whole world had just been made still. that
Somehow you’ve been given a taste of ecstasy , Heaven on Earth.
Stop talking all your bluff, and why it won’t work. Tell me why it will.
Tell me how hard you’ll hustle to achieve this dream against all odds.
I’m so sick of you telling me about limitation and society’s perception.
And If you’re not in it, to live. But exist. Then baby, we’re on different lanes.
I’m here to live against all odds.
And live so bravely and fearlessly, that when death comes, it trembles to take me.
Courageously and passionately,
But I’m not a hopeless romantic, and I’d never allow myself to be that way,
But I love life against all odds.
Let’s go to a museum, lets look at Da Vinci
Let’s go to the Colosseum, let’s visit the Louvre again, how about Nigara falls, take me to a new cafe,
Lets explore, actually, take me to that little cafeteria by the beach, the one that lights up candles at night,
And has shitty seats, let’s get dirty and go swimming.
Throw some mud on my face.
Take yourself less seriously.
And when we’re looking at Da Vinci somewhere in the National Gallery in London
let’s go crazy and tell me you can’t keep your hands off me
That it turns you on the way I look at those paintings
And you can’t wait to get me in bed.
lol baby can we have some fun.
I want my life to be a masterpiece
I want to see the way you raise my kids
The way you look at them in the morning and tell them you love them
The way you play ball with our little man and the way you kiss our little girl on her way to school
The way you teach them how to skate
How you teach them how to ski
And how to go bunjee jumping
How their first sky dive was with their mum and dad
And how the first time they learned how to ride a bike was on our porch yard
I wanna see our little boy run around with a skate board
And never get into bad crowds even though he’s always at the skatepark
Cause he knows he can be honest with us
I want our little girl to have a strong side and know how to fight
And know how to weep beautifully without being judged
I want our kids to know how to be authentic
And never feel like they have to hide or compromise anything about themselves
I want them to be leaders in their high schools and the kids everyone looks up to
I want them to be super intellectual and beautiful
And have the world at their feet
I want them to be sensational
And know how to inhabit their body and
Baby let’s have a date night
And run barefoot in the middle of the road like we did when we were 18
Lets have a Notebook moment and dance underneath the street lights
But we’re married now, and nothing’s gonna stop us from still living audaciously.
Lets have a Pirates of the Caribbean moment and live like explorers,
And shake the world, and live like tourists on. A borrowed earth on borrowed time
Because we’re all just visitors for a time being on this planet,
Let’s win the jackpot, the lotto, let’s reach the high score, if life’s nothing but a game,
Then baby, I’m competitive and I wanna reach the high score, the high life, the high love,
I don’t wanna wait till I’m 80 to know the worth of life and what really matters.
I wanna die, close my eyes, and know that I’ve really lived.
And I beg God, not to take me till I’ve lived and fulfilled my purpose on Earth.
And if you’re gonna share a life with me, then baby you better live.
Lets kiss while at war, in the middle of battle, because we’re warriors on the inside
Let’s have tattoos and weird cuts and be sexy parents
Let’s wake up at 4am and go for a run
Let’s work out insanely and eat healthily but have insane pasta cheat meals
Lets love on life, lets make love to life.
Let’s be audacious against all odds,
And be like titans in our business fields,
In our careers, lets be the best of the best.
baby, Let’s have a Tolstoy moment and be intimate in the middle a war zone
In the middle of an economic breakdown, lets learn to relax and invest,
And lets be the bomb at crypto currencies because that’s the future
Lets learn AI and know about Elon Musk and visit Sillicon Valley.
Lets get weed in Jamaica and chill with the Rastas
Lets meet all the Hindus and Buddhas and chill in in their temples,
And get these weird roses and say thank you.
Lets’ camp on Mount Everest.
And have our own helicopter.
Lets sleep in the forest, and wrestle the lions with love.
Lets see the truth of this earth.
Let’s learn to relax even in the midst of chaos
Let’s learn to dance in the rain
When was the last time you made out under the rain?
Let’s learn to forgive and love out loud.
Let’s climb Kilimanjaro , and maybe go to the Batu Caves again, where a monkey stole my ice - cream the last time that I went.
Let’s learn about ancient rituals, the rural parts of Eastern France, lets go to the African war zones, poverty stricken villages in Nigeria, lets see
How they live, and how they praise the Lord.
I want to praise like an African.
Because you see, it’s just a dance for the Lord.
But I want to praise Earth like the Shamans and Native Americans.
Live like a child, learn like an intellectual
Blaze trails like a prodigy
And love like I’m an aphrodisiac
I want to pray like a saint
I want to play like a child
I want to praise like a queen
And dance like every dance is my last
The first time in the Colosseum, I wondered how tough it oughta be to live here, living like a tourist, buying souvenirs, yet a couple centuries ago,
This was the ground for massacre
lions fighting back and forth
The human race always had a knack for violence
Yet we’ve always been suckers for true love
Even, Caesar himself couldn’t help himself, brought, Cleopatra to Rome against all odds,
Just to be massacred by his own men for bringing a woman like her.
They say Nefertiti was more beautiful.
But that’s not the point.
And what about the Roman inquisition.
Death for the cross, did you know it was chaos.
Or how they cut of Marie Antoinette’s and Louis XVI’s head.
Or how they massacred the Romanov’s in Yekaterinburg
Or King Henry VIII’s wives.
how they suffered the fate of just being women
Or how the Latinos suffered under the arm of dictatorship and the invasion of foreign policy
How the Americans invaded their land
Did you know all of the modern foreign policy tore up the Middle East starting from the Iraq war in 1991
To Saddam Hussein’s death and 9/11
The foreign policy for gold and ivory
that places like Timbuktu could turn into ruins
I’m just saying, shit happens
But like Richard Branson, we should sail on the waves
Cross Guinness records, own our own private islands
And enjoy life while we can
Just live out loud you know,
Shit happens, but you can’t control it
You can control nothing but your own emotions, and actions, and heads
And as Bukowski said, you can only change one life at a time, all else is grandiose romanticism or politics
Or how the English cut off the heads of slaves
How the Europeans divided Africa like a cake.
How the Belgians, cut up Congo for Ivory in half.
All that’s nice, but now what?
You live against all odds.
And you live life so bravely, so audaciously
That life trembles to take you.
I’ll leave you with a poem and short story.
Firstly, read All The Way by Charles Bukowski, it will change your life .
Secondly, Google, Nero’s 100 Gladiators, and see how the 40 stood up for Jesus, and how the one ran to them,
And see these stories of courage and bravery and be inspired.
Because as the wild saying goes, “Here’s to the misfits and the crazy ones” - Rob Siltanen.
