OCCUPY CONSCIOUSNESS
A POEMA LONGING
A REFLECTION
POEMED BY KYLE “2BE” SUTHERLANDDESIGNED BY Capt. BENJAMIN R. VOUTOUR
“The highest form of jihad is to speak out in the face of an unjust ruler.”-Prophetic Hadith
Occupy Consciousness
Poemed by: Kyle Sutherland 2B (Cultural Jedi)
Designed by: Capt. Benjamin R. Voutour
Original Introduction:
I began writing this experimental bit with a very
simple goal in mind, O yes I wanted to simply sit
noble free and effortless letting the flow be the
flow writing the falling mind on paper. However I
also cast an objective finish to this abstract writing
cycle’s process; my 20th birthday. Alas, I turn 20
tomorrow. I thereby and hereto consecrate this
poem as a platform, a personal foundation whereby
to learn to grow from so as to live my life’s essential
journey (though a poet’s story is ever undone and
always unwritten). This is, in truth, my introduction
to the world; this is me stepping as a stoned-ape
onto the world stage of philosophical scrutiny,
critics, and data systems analysts chomping at
the bit. As a true hearted human I am to pass my
honest wounded souls word to you in order to keep
our living Souls afloat;
to keep the shared, the felt, and lived experience of
life’s moment alive; for this is what keeps humanity
together (we the story of ourselves).I cast this poem
alive into the living moment that it may breathe with
us, or die one day mocked and hated… whatever
its fate, I am honored to pass this through my being
existence. Writing this has been a worlds journey,
such to be a chronicle of sailing my times invaluable
life, waving to you from train windows and stages,
the poets pulpit. One Breath. This is my foundation.
My current mind. May it speak its voice -my heart-
to sail and learn the winds of love and philosophical
certitude that string the fragile fabric our being. May
it occupy and inspire.
Introduction:
I dedicate my word is ageless suffering to the depressed
and tormented, Amen. To refugees and sick children
tattered hospitals (fancy medical bills) the struggling
& quiet desperation of the working poor hungry humble
ancient human people (Mi Pueblo) of Earth and Universe
as One. To the revolutionaries, the engineers, the poets,
Prophets and infidels, priests & pagans, to the carpenters
the teachers and lovers throughout timeless history;
colorless everybody bleeding red under sky blue; to all the
forgotten names
and kisses True
Love’s Beloved
I dedicate this to the Messengers the Mystics the Masters the Saints the Sages
to the Great Rift Valley of Africa
to the skidwrecked punks
the protestors, cross faders and collective strain spinning skies
to the recent graveyards of beached dolphins
In honor of freedom, peasant uprisings & death before dishonor
In honor of Family, this Earth. To the knowing that is deeper than words.
in honor of love, love, love
Our Tribe is blood Red and sky Blue – Bleeds from Hood to Hood – Rests in
Peace
“Like a horse is tested in a great race on a long course,
like a ball-player in the lists striking the ball fairly and
aiming adroitly at the mark, even so it is with the poet
who composes and indites long poems, and reins his horse
when utterance is hard for him and verse begins to fail.”
-Shotha Rusthveli
“Deeply loving everybody…and that’s not a cliché.” – Cornel West
“To be honest some freedom of speech makes me nervous.” –Saul Williams
“Any dictator would admire the uniformity and
obedience of the U.S. media.”
-Noam Chomsky
“That the world is, is the mystical.” -Wittgenstein
“Dear lonely tightrope walkers. Remember. In this circus, balance is your best friend. Not these clowns.”
-Queen GodIs
“The dogmas of religion are an attempt to formulate in precise terms the truths disclosed in the religious experience of mankind. In exactly the same way the dogmas of physical
science are attempts to formulate in precise terms the truths disclosed in thesense-perception of mankind.”-Alfred North Whitehead
“Like a horse is tested in a great race on a long course,
like a ball-player in the lists striking the ball fairly and
aiming adroitly at the mark, even so it is with the poet
who composes and indites long poems, and reins his horse
when utterance is hard for him and verse begins to fail.”
-Shotha Rusthveli
WARNING: In an effort to legalize the earth, the plants, animals, our bodies and blood, every word of this poem is heavily intoxicated with inner lullaby songs made possible under the gentle loving cosmological influence of a misunderstood and often abused medicinal blessing, Ganja Smoke. Oh yes, in well-mannered and appropriately authentic shamanic self-smoke-rituals 1 Mile High this poem is written; where the gravitational force is strong, where the air is thin, where the music laughs with the morning light pouring in: where lovely Rocky Mountains write dew drop laden poems - grand like stairways to such unspeakable havens of the heavens melodic untouchable - flawless ever passing - divine smiling; oh yes my friends, every word (my word) is a medical hybrid, smiles an “illegal smile”. Hunter S. Thompson is somewhere here within, tripping face on lifes raw substances and we are all a festival crowds big drunken woop, hyped and in the moshpit, calm and sipping mushroom tea in the cloudy minds to see clearly the fog. Sacred pipe is passed, to you dear ones, please join this smoke circle.
Confused and courageous, this poem trips the light fantastic.
I Am todaysearching in honor of genuine respect and humility that, by virtuous effort, all divided people, as myself, in action body and spiritmay be realized as the living face of Light’s Creationas truly .One.(Love & Strength)No Bullshit. No Gimmicks.To Truly Love Truly True Love.And I sincerely humbled am (quite truthfully) unable to agreeably sayor to articulate this Being or what the Planet is Your Body isLife; One Truth(Infinitely Complex)
and when I peel back the layers of my existenceI find you reading this
Lost maybe, found, like every face you’ve ever passed
And when I cannot say it all,,, or anythingIn a wordOr in any
My poem bows at raw silence - at what is flesh - at what is stoneAnd poses picture perfect for the *Camera’s Flash*

The 11th chapter of the Tao Te Ching
Thirty spokes share the wheel’s hub
It is the emptiness of the center hole that makes it useful.
Shape clay into a vessel;
It is the empty space within that makes it useful.
Cut doors and windows for a room;
It is the empty holes that make it useful.
Therefore profit comes from what is there;
Usefulness from what is not there.

To find little moments of great beauty

This poem shall stand crumbling with primordial pillars In ancient solidarity with struggle
Stands for freedom from brute oppression in all contexts Promotes knowledge in the universe-cities
Freedom as an Ancient gyration of Gods forces, Unknowable is Love’s depthSo this poem sits praying heavy rains
With the Now people of Egypt, Venezuela, Korea, South Central Affiliates itself directly with the totality of life is Here is Now
Says .Occupy. AwarenessThis poem takes action
Stands for the Sky is Truth like RainbowsRains Color for Gay anywhere Marriage
Asks you by way of **gun and **bullet if you know what *.sacred.* is.Shakes you awake.
Breathes back origin is Black fertile crescents of AfricaAsks you nicely like death’s cold grip to stop unthinkingly consuming so much
This poem explicitly states !Fuck Bashar al-Assad! !Fuck Netanyahu! !Fuck Monsanto, ExxonMobile and all Ye Devilish Warpigs killing our fair Earth! (Killing EachOther…) So that this poem standing, Love
Can be heard in the wind if you try not to listen…Exemplifies simple freedoms like wild seeds, wild flowers, an Elephant dreaming
Simple dreams like grass, like water, the friction between spirit and body.Soon 2B Dancing.
This poem walks seasons my friends, in lovewith “Radicals” as childrenand likewise with the other side’s Radicals as childrenand, yes, indeed, with the other otherside’s Radicals as children Walks with perspective like mothers blood = father’s time (This is where I write a prison sentence that cries with caged beasts as lost birds)This poem is menstrual blood patterning ancient births in continuous flux, A Flock TogetherBurns sage, mudras prayer hands – arduous spiritualOffers formulaic equations of soul as hard sciencefor the romantic chance that children might be raised to hold hands and Honor…to stop holding fists, holding guns, held up, now hold back… Our art reflects us allThis poem stands sculptureGraffiti’s wallsDoes all the things that it cannot, has already died, and thuslyReverses time(.Lives like that.)Because truth is timeless and nothing more., like this – to hear that music – birds and sirens, city and mountain sky danceAnd thus to give it all up, shake open, alone jiving, like…

***This poem***
rains the voices of the undergroundabove the main-stream
speaking truth like the oceanIs water body simple

It is sensitivity it isRespect it isLove it is … sleepingthis poem wakes up bloody white unable to stand bland moments any longeroffers free its Karma pale legsto migratory distances humbled shivering sufferer-self in orderto give this bloody soil *o the soil*back to Native handswhich are all but

these days…
And our children still play war, still playCowboys and Indians
(as mighty tears still waterfall)
This poem sits when the civil rights satThis poem with civil rights is sitting nowLike Gandhi sat sitting to “take a stand” – O Great SoulLike any symbol sits to stand when we take actionThat we might live to die for our convictionsOur hearts for this love, O to die in Love for Love alone is worthy
This poem undoes what is didFor the love of kids
And of feminine truth untoldTo Know
The living EarthIs to pay a mere portion of the respect we owe
To The Womb“Heaven lies beneath your Mothers feet” – Hadith
This poem is a bloody mess with life’s denied yet enlightened human deathTribes of science and progress
The gravity of all being being pulled across times continuumContinuous
Ugly geopolitics fueling wars burn as propaganda machines like the gnashing of teeth But this poem is 2B ( the sword ) as a pens solo voice wolf cries (One) into the night
That your heart is worth all worthThat the wind will never be captured
The wind will never be bought or sold
There are real linesDrawn in the sandReal blood flowsIn the divides between people
So I point To the sky
…boundless… And wipe the sands free
Of false divisionsWith the God Written lines
Of my palms
.Universal Aligned. Like the crying
The smilingThe lost lines
Of sad eyed poets, the impoverished brilliant
.A single blurry face in Tokyo, midnight.
A crowds confusion in a single smile, a reflecting pool
of our souls depth zip*flashes*quick like shooting stars
spaced as a miracle in every palm ) ) )
( ( ( placed is Truth in every utterance…
Is Every Tree
A God seeded a Goddess gave Birth
& Blessed
(You & Me)
Such is the What & Why we are
This Rambling Energy
Of Suns & Moons
Watered Gardens
Tended Poems
Known by heart
As Every Broken Back HumanIs Every
Reason to Lift the Burden
.
Poverty is poverty is the sky is blue
speaks poetry like survival the poetry of raw hustle to live alive to hustle to die hustling
& the dead are still dead
the living are still living
& the dead live and the living die
& still the world turns still
And still frozen nobody can agree
On what life is, or where it came from
Or what it means
{{Lord of Mercy}}
As the World PopulationEats itself
And haunted childrenRoam the streets
Riots on yourDoorstep
Gun in your hand
The tv won’t save you.Your cell phone will not know how
To protect you
...
Weapons cannot fight the weather - cannot undo what is donecannot teach truest love
to the blind of heartfor love sings even in chaos for the ones who know not the depth of sky
who laugh at life like bullets at bodies
...
where will your guns stand when the ground gives way?
...
All Living Things Must
One day
Die True
Life Lived.Accepted.
As goes the balanceAs is
The WholeTo Wake Up
Cycles must Cycle the Circle of Life
Wake up
We call forth the endEvery time we unthinkingly
Waste ourselves and the world around us
Wake up
and back in the dream, the tigers are going extinct (in reality), and the white and the red dragon are battling within me, I am wandering, I am as alone as we are; the world is too heavy, is too light, is too dark, the hues stale routines that jagged edge the monotony of being these bland love struck nothings…*SNAP* awake wasted myself and *SNAP* awake still need to stop wasting the worlds self andWake up
every forest bathed in misted holy morning prayer
Is every scrambling city mind thinking calamity $$$$$$$$$
Thinking engine, thinking linear, thinking fear,,, fear of death
As Zen sits inside your hearts-eye on inner mountain peaks
In tranquil eternity ever lounging are the valleys of All
In a frozen wonder of ever present Motion is the awareness of being
Aflame Diligent; anointed by spaces crying content, Selfhood
The Great Story; One movement moves One moment moments
One woven song sings as we strum stranded notes in the string
Of life being this prayer I pray
That you Flower with Buddha and Krishna and Wankan Women
See GOD Bless Earth-Mother Birth Humans
See Earth from Space … Life from Death … Your Spirit and Body
See Self Bless Christ Bless Children Stand Noble
See Self Bless Atheists Bless Emptiness Be Humble
See Self Bless Shakti Bless Allah, Allah Most High Bless Blessings
Bless
Every thing in Jah universe.
Every. Seemingly. Infinitesimal. Inch.
And might you feel free

“.To Free Your Mind.”The World
& we have been charged with life for Living
Put to Death for Demanding Freedom
SilencedFor Having
A Voice
But we won’t stop singing won’t stop screaming stop fighting won’t stop
For Fundamental Life; Basic Dignity, oh yes
You can kill us. We still sing In Every Language
Resolute like the Forbearance of Trees to Reach for Freedom
!lions of truth beneath bootheels and batons!
Enlightened, peaceful, violent, revolutionary
The Lorax who speaks for the Trees
World BodyWake Up
It rests upon our shoulders, these pillars of truth, cycles of condensed time
rumbling stampedes in the succession of lived moments, the lit torch of our ancestors
The big banged momentum ad infinitum of Now
Where ends and beginnings end and begin again
We must carry a new vision on Traditional principles
to embody the love we idealize, the love we pray to, the love we fight for
( so I stand between the in-between - I have seen us within the vision - dreaming of the dream)
Know this; the dream will die if not tended, stories if not told, revolutions do not live if not fought for
Our children the same.
Ignorance is torture. Bliss flowers in fields as the laughter of a child learning the “things” of life…
Freedom is a continuous dialogue, the recurring dream of love passing
like clouds are beautiful thoughts in the sky
Thinking always the sky above inspiring the always
countries people homeless everywhere the always mountain peaks
Get there – and breathe deep this Universes value - you are its body – acknowledge responsibility
You are Blessed 2Be your Blessing
Let us Aid Life by DeepeningThe Self
To Speak Mountains, Deep Faith.Of All The Spilt Blood; Let Us Not Forget
Our Heritage is of BeingLost and Found
In the Same MomentAnd all seekers have sought; thought endless mantras empty
,thus fullHave written, prayed, calculated, sang wandered wondered – died – lived & thusly
Beheld
To behold a keyIs to behold
“The Key”
And TrulyI Say
The Earth herself is our key Turning
Unlocking the revolving doorwayOf her own story
…
& It Is! Yes, An Entire Universe! Right now!This Miracle! Here and Beyond ourDoors of finite perception*In An Infinite Event* …so play your part and step fully through the revolving doors of your being here
“keep it movin’”Keep steppin’ to find the truth. then take more steps, truth continues. life becomes death. day meets night, waves are met by shore. many avenues. many seas. & then an endless many more. So while living, I broken modern poet pleadWith you to live to Demand Freedom, Love to Lovein the name of all Living, Beauty, in Black/Whitelife mango & color wheels in jungles and citiesrolling empty silent prairies budding skiesthe struggle is ancestral like menstrual blood ofMothers as each Man became from a seeded WombDemand Freedom for all tortured, family, shot, murdered, all raped,

That I contact SoulsThrough Eye Contact Portals

Have been called to lead. We must be led.
And You must lead as well. Can you do this? Can You Lead Yourself For All Of Us?
Can you find stars within the soil of yourself and pull from the inmost depth
of your soul’s core the light of the truth?
That we ought to be stronger than this robotic zombie apocalypse. . .& That spiritual is Being (One)
Humbled. Compassionate. Disciplined. Fallible, True.
& how many minds, right now, under these living stars
are trying to conjure a more perfect understanding? To summon A Theory of Everything.
How many agree or disagree or stand as more predictable?
As Opposites Unite. All.

this is Acknowledging Wisdom before the Absolute
this is the insight of Shakyamuni Buddha
this is the fullness of the Void
*
this is a Muslim becoming nothing before the One
there is no Sufi, no Salafi, only Pure Islam
*
the orthodox Christian, prayer of the heart
the Sadhu of India japa-yoga – of incense and ambience
Zen of delicate – steps upon Haiku formless – traces everywhere
the Sun Dance of the North American Natives
the Pure Land school of heavy snowflakes falling slow
a Mazatec Mushroom Star-Enhanced Initiation
the Prostrations Reflections Remembrances Rituals Prayers
each person to return unto the Infinite; life lived a prayer prayed
From the Eastern shores
to the Western shores
the self is
A tiny flame, to enter this world in one door
And to leave this world from another
This poem is drunk stupid tripping high wandering Lonely wolf redundant lone-lily silly and confused Assured & sufficed & somehow balanced – human human o so human This poem idiotic brilliant this poem is this Occupied Blood Occupied Street Corner This dead revolution unbloody undergone surgery This plastic bottle baboon madhouse of do-nothing-about-it And complain – this sunken city Empire will not last We will pull Atlantis deeper down to muddier waters with us Rome will quivery lips foam-mouth cry memories of collapse O human the horror of it This prophetic gulp Of-Collective-Mind-Zombie-Fiasco-of-Eschatological-Boom So go ye and Garden Gravity – go now and work well, work soil Work hands into the rooted earth and wait O little bugs Wait games and make Holy please yes make Holy of things For time is Circled Itself and Death Smiles Big at the Human Bugs, Big Big Smile – Harvest Self Reap before Grim Reaps It
and this is where the world left me, reading wordless, writing 2be a certain kind of silence, aflame with
this written freedom; a poem as silent as myself tonight; Zazen – then inner beatbox begins Universal
prayer, that I may pray my way through greedy crowds with my merit, with others, symbolic bullets
and real blood. I am sorry. I do not wish to play your selfish games world of man. But I am held
at gunpoint by your regulations and fax machines faxing neat little invoices to ugly white washed
managerial offices full of yellow sticky noted blurbs and fine point pens that sign crisp printed contracts
that fine point deception. I can see that you are caged by this too (aware or unaware of such). It’s a
real shame. Especially because we are strong, we are the dreamers of our dazed days tomorrows; yes,
we are how we fight for freedom. Can’t you see it living by now? That elephants and dolphins the sky
expansive and simple kindness is the breathing freedom I speak? That preserving life is an honor, lo
mas sagrado, is most worthy, and so effortlessly simple.!?!. This is the lit torch. This is the living flame.
This is the flower that blooms in your soul’s ascent like decoded metaphors captured within smiling
memories of desperate similes in the language of life’s transient moments, moments rippling across the
liquid eternity of the cosmos’s deep breathing.
This star dreaming is your guide, look
The whole truth above you _ Word Up.
I walk the cloudsIn the mist
Of the mystic
If you focus on the mist you’ll probably miss itIt’s the lipstick of existence
That we’ve all been kissed with
And in this instanceIt is this instant!
It is instantaneous; I Choose to treat no human like a distant alien, why?
because we are allliving a graveyard
And I die proudly. And I AmSnowfall in the woods of my warm surrender to returning home; The Spirits WorldAnd if I am to choose I am to choose to die for FreedomFor the grasslands of Africa and the cold winds of Tibet, O for Cambodia to Brazil O from the eye of me to the I of you For the great struggle that life endures, for Jesus dying for me, for the Wombs of all WomenWomb birth all for me – O me O my O we is the new I – o the open mic tells me soThe One miraculous birth of great moment, from many perspectives, respectively…all at onceI bow exalted at my death, honor it, while living
I am a megaphone in the hand of a revolutionary.I am a Zen garden of gravity.
Dies for a cause & fights for the world is pain ridden. riding the written babble of many poems spoke a song
which screams this historical moment at usGadgetized autotune sore throat colony collapse
The undisciplined mass of masks acting a bad actThe fact, the tax… the sacks, the cash
The gun the blastFelt
A Major Impact
When worlds collide.When stars explode.Opinions, the same.
So Love take me out, take me away, take me to the Amazon to the Congo
Heal us There
Or paint me as the farthest reaches of milky cosmos
Shakti spun *Infinite* webbed wisdom
With planetary circles cycling destinies physics – the Tao of the Allah
Containing Andromeda and Nebula’s unfathomable magic
Or dwell me here with late night lakeside pebble tossing cuddled in the company of rivers trees and
cornfield dreams, greens, greens dark reds, reds browns yellowing the moons blue glow on starlit
ponds reflecting both the gyroscopic heavens beyond and depths below
Or nighttime alleyway me - fall me down to junkie and homeless my life
Wander me the country side alone, Lord of Mercy
Or make a monk of me in a quiet monastery
Or brainwash me rat mazed and see me buy into buying into buying propaganda
I PAY attention, I SPEND moments, I EARN respect
Strong Winds of .Basic Humanity. I Speak from Land to Land
O sons and daughters of Space
As Pure Earth My Spirit Grows – tumbles madly downhill, gets up, strives...
& at what are we aiming, As Humans, might I ask? Might we move toward a common goal, Oneness? Should not acceptance be accepted?Why question?
And I move from Sad to Happy instantaneously in our tornado of being
Spectrumed Harps A strummed heart
The sparks that lit light through the darkThe point that hits its mark
To gather the gathering of gravityTo the oceans within
To set a sun in motionTo moon a tide tied to tidal wave emotion
To day a nightToday , a night
To Knight the DayLet it be the Warrior it is
We AreIt’s Blessing
To free an anything.To free
anythingWorld
Listen, I have writtena book for the bookshelves. For the dust of this everywhereness.
A lost poet, probably unfollowed, found here. Felt little. Breathed big. Kissed the razors
Edge Like Hafiz and al-Hallaj both laughing.
O and I laugh blasphemous too, Love, Praises.The rain is as poor/pour down as we are
And we both cry just as hard
to help this world is yourself or be a prayer (your own) unanswered …I have wept this world my understanding
Laughed this love my overstandingDanced this night a morning risenRose a dawn, bloomed the sun
Flowered day upon everyone
Melted my ego in God and now ISee past my ‘tomb
(Stone’Hearts)
are Beautiful (heavy burdens be but so)& Somehow…
We Simply Live & Die .
O Truth, O Souls; O Death, O Love
..and after falling asleep we wake up in life and death. and out of the matrix of soil we light the night
with our growth, our historical evolution unfolding from the soil of Africa to the concrete canyons of
cityscapes with architectural titans that stretch our little fleshy bodies through impossible dreams
of physical achievement. It is marvelous. The buzzing of big city beehives bootyshakin’ tha grind of
our hustle. The constancy of iron clad time. The simultaneous work being done behind the scenes
in every restaurant, every storefront, all the great sweat of hard work and tired feet marching to the
efficient rhythm of progress.
The shift changes.
The minimum wages wage little wars…
and how many children at home to feed?
Something Like A World Full
All of us Hungry. Tired. Worn.

I fight for the Sacred with this my cave poem.
scratching at flint and steel.
Making Fire
That it may Rain
And purify the Earth
I breathe this Air human
Am this breath
Thinking
Yoga thoughts, thoughts of Brahma, **Formless Supreme**
These existential thoughts, thoughts of Divinity, essential thoughts
Prayer thinks – Absolute, Most High – Empties itself, all in the Void
From suffering to Nirvana – same as anything, O souls
You are a prayer drunk on the Wine of Most High serenades of sweetness
Tis but one continuum evolving by Brilliance beyond Space & Time (within)
And beyond beyond and all throughout and yessums & no sir and yes ma’am
Christ and Buddha and Moses and Krishna are all Messengers Moving Mountains Black
Elk and Frithjof Schuon and Ramakrishna are Reminders of Message Stoned All in the
same circle & Moved to Tears by the Message High All in the Same Prayer – on different
levels- One Circle’s Spokes
One Circle Spoke
A Prayer is to surrender pride unto the Infinite, be tiny humble soul
Meditation is the knowledge of Selfhood is Contemplation goes with
Sacred Scripture is Transcendent, and Death is not the End – End Om
The mystery is still alive.
Our existence undefined, we are beyond measure
We have been measured and shall pass fully through our darkness
Moved to tears by our human story, the long night of our history
The record of our being, our books, footprints, deeds and merits
At once disturbing, beautiful and brilliant, heavy and perfect
The Grand Story condensed into every cell of our bodies live
Across Every Land throughout all Galaxies
If matter is neither created nor destroyed
then where is not our feelings?
Where is not this longing of spirit and soul and body the blood?
The story
Is of one
sung song
as one night is one day long
as always all ways is everything
Indefinably beyond grasp
each noted thing
uttered into being
and the song is any everything. every anything.
.connects a melody. . rains and pours .
That we may stop killing our song
That we might make pure sound this soul of being
That we might sing an open heart to lovers romance
Love truly our neighbors
as each otheras .One.

“Remember the clear light, the pure clear white light from which everything in the
universe comes, to which everything in the universe returns; the original nature of
your own mind. The natural state of the universe unmanifest. Let go into the clear
light, trust it, merge with it. It is your own true nature, it is home.”
-Tibetan Book of the Dead
From the Infinite we come, and to the Infinite is our return
May we all creaturely live & die wellMay we all be led
Safely soul, O yes, safely
