Vigilant Joy
Vigilant Joy means…
Incessant celebration of the absurd
(& everything’s absurd)
For austerity is the only enemy
Reverence for beauty
(& everything’s beautiful)
Do the opposite of what society says
(society is more wrong than right)
For reverie guides the honest
Mundanity is the great excuse for revelry
Irreverence for “correctness”
(what’s called “correct” is more wrong than right)
Tasks, jobs, rules & facts are the great delusion
(of infinity temporarily entropy-ing)
Disobey all authority
(Be still & you’ll know the only true authority)
Rebellion is the spirit of humanity
The only responsibility is Truth
(to respond to every moment honestly)
& to share that honesty with anyone who’s listening
To sing the melody which resonates true unity
& to share that melody with harmony
To find a rhythm which syncs the heartbeat of humanity
& to beat it louder than the noise of the big, plastic lie
(& The Jester Sings)
Present presence presciently presents…
“The Past: A foretelling of the future”
(Unfortunately framed in fool’s gold)
Ladies and gentlemen,
A sardonic story from a state of grace
Revealed through the holes
Of an unholy face
A reading of free form feelings
Within and without time and space
This is the true story of what’s his name
At least Leela’s laughing
Does no one else here see the stage?
Sure, it’s divine, but it’s just a play
Jabber jabber, play.
(This Is The Spirit…)
Heyoka’s heckling the king
Court-appointed Jester sings,
“This is the spirit breaking free
Free of ambition, desire & greed
This is the spirit breaking free
Wisdom doesn’t preach, it sings:
‘This is the spirit breaking free’
& on & on it goes…”
In bad faith, sincerely yours,
What’s His Name
