Today is the 200th anniversary of the birth of both Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin on February 12, 1809.

Now he belongs to the ages–Lincoln was killed on Friday the 13th–many believe to the wishes of dirty carpetbagging mothafuckas hell-bent on vendetta to the South–roll on Americana–the Battle of the Wilderness killed over 60,000 in six days–60-mothafuckin’ thousand–group karma IS a mothafucker–even 150 years later
The Toll
All those names on that big, black wall
of broken dreams,
it’s not about dyin’ for somethun’
or someone else;
it’s just about dyin’,
forget what the politicos say.
Liars and mourners try
to supply the rationale
for the impact that
strikes hard and fast
and lingers with pain
many lifetimes.
A memorial to madness,
a sacrifice where none is needed,
a testimony to the illusion
so real.
Never again? Hah!
We do it again. Now!
Again and again.
How many have to kill and die
and be reborn,
become the one they killed
and kill and die again
to become the one they kill?
Either the easy way
or the hard,
it will all end in innocence,
thoughts of sin reversed;
limitless gentleness
will cover all evil,
forgiveness complete.
The Father’s Will be done;
it cannot be otherwise.

Constant Peace
The war, the guilt, the past are gone
into the unreality
from whence they came,
the wildest weirdest misperceptions,
the blackest nightmares
all mean nothing,
against the constant peace
that prevails,
it is so,
heaven still resides in the only truth,
without interruption or variation,
perfectly unambiguous,
without contrast or differences,
in a sublime sense so deep
no worldly dream
has even a dim imagination
of what it is,
with value unjudgable,
only appreciated, or not,
awaiting the awakening
of man’s redemption.
