THE GODDESS

This poem was inspired after writing my book ‘The Shaman’s Last Apprentice’. For two weeks, I wrote 16 hours a day, as the book gushed out of me. I finished it as dawn started to break, so I went to watch the sunrise. It was March, and as the sky turned a deep red and pink, and the glorious warm sunlight hit me, I literally downloaded the words in about 15 mins, as a complete poem.

It was the afterbirth and sums up my message to humanity.

The Goddess has awakened
Because she feels forsaken
By humanities insanity
And as she awakes she shakes
Her fist in the air in despair
At what we’ve forgotten
‘cos now we are rotten
To the core
We can’t hear her roars through our snores
As she abhors our selfish flaws
Because the clock has struck,
But we’re still deep in the muck...

And if you already feel perturbed
By these Goddess’s words
Its because they are true
And they are speaking to you
Not the ego-centred part
Straight to your heart...

You see we’ve put the cart
Before the horse
Been forced to believe
That we only receive
When we feed the need
To appease our greed
This mad idea is fuelled by fear
Ignited by the powers that be
that do not want us to be free
So they committed emotional tyranny
And silenced our voices
But we think we still have choices
We’re distracted to buy useless things that never bring
The peace of mind we crave to find
Addicted to buy more and more stuff
But we never seem to have enough
So we throw away
And buy more crap
To try and fill this empty gap
But nothing fills the deep, dark hole
That consumes us body, mind and soul
Yet we follow this game
With unbelievable pain
And no conceivable gain
And because we’re so vain we’ve ignored
the mystical teachers that have come before
So we still remain spiritually poor

BUT NOW ITS TIME TO WAKE THE FUCK UP

And realise it’s all been one great big con
To keep us wanting to hold on
We’re clutching the illusion so goddamn tight
Terrified of reality’s bite
And now we’ve nearly lost the fight
We’re so used to being raped and abused
We’ve remained maimed, shamed, dazed, and confused...

But as the Goddess awakes
And shakes us out of our fearful slumber
We open our eyes in awe and wonder
As we hear the thunder of the guns
That are ripping us asunder
We begin to understand it time to unite and make a stand
And start to walk together hand in hand...

Brothers and Sisters
Its time to see the truth of reality,
Acknowledge our fragility
For though we try to stay alive
All we do is seem to survive
While the truth remains hidden inside
So let go of your pride and need for external stimulation
Accept its all been mental masturbation
For Love of Self is the ultimate goal
And the unity of body mind and soul
Everything else is just an illusion
Masquerading as the solution...

And if you still feel perturbed by these Goddess’s words
It’s because we don’t have to be caged birds
Accept we are just evolving continuity
Then fly to fifth dimensional fluidity
Where everything is energy, matter and flow
And unrestricted we can grow
But in order to reach that wonderful plane
There is only one path to finish this game
So open your eyes and begin to see
That Loving Yourself
That Loving Yourself
That Loving Yourself
Is the only way to be
And the power of love that is within you and me
Is really the Goddess leading us to our
Divinity.
