Searching for Truth in Academia...

Searching for Truth in Academia...

***

Stood at crossroads

What on earth did I see

Elite Academic Toads

Speaking Fake Truth 

Thee education binding Me

So I asked a hard question

They gave the academic "gaze" 

In their eyes a broken reflection

In blankness  fell into a  daze

Looking saw credentials titles above

Saying"I know all, ask your question?"

So innocently I asked, ``What is love?" 

"Our Love is the Scientific Method! 

We Don't give a damn about reflection"

For a minute I was in shock and trauma

"Credentialed elites say there is no love?"

I said" No, this is lies fake education drama"

Just then a swat squad Descended from above

I was tazed, hit, thrown in the back of a van

Shattered amazed, asked is this education?

Beat with Elite Fake Truth to understand

I then Knew, "No education, it's indoctrination."

This pissed off the Know Nothing Team

Screaming studies show "There is no Love"

I looked thinking "This must all be a dream."

So I flew free into blue sky a white dove

Looking down saw a toothless old man

So depressed to him I asked my question

Saw Thomas Merton electrocuted by fan

Old man said "Trust me, I know the direction"

We stood at a crossroads followed a path

Across the sea we walked waves of emotion

In the old man's eyes true love never went out

Felt no aversion in Love's Eyes blazing motion

He had no card, money but shined with Truth

Had something unknown in Elite Academies

That kill the spirit, blind, poison devour youth

Sailed away Love Vast Earth Moon Sky Seas

Abiding true love never dies can't you see? 

Elites publish nonsense unread who  cares? 

True education lives life, in stillness just be

Happily I broke secular rules saying prayers

The academic elites said "Prayer is not real" 

I Said, "At death Love Matters Books No Use."

Below rumbled Dark Death's Seven Star Seals

In the lonely distance saxophone played Blues

Just then Cassady drove up said "Get in."

So Burroughs and I talked shit in the back seat

Burroughs cried "Education stupid comes from within" Cassady, "We already blew up those elites"

Said, "Not much changed now may be far worse"

Burroughs " Stop feeling sorry, get on the Path"

So started walking the road stars shining north

Left behind worldly life and never looked back

Written when I awoke from a scary nightmare. In this dream I searched and no truth was to be found in the most elite academic institutions leaving me in despair. But an old homeless man saved me, he reminded me Love is the only abiding truth. Who this old man was, no one can say. But I told him man your the real deal, not fake academics who pretend to know truth. But the old man held me in his comforting Truth warm blanket. His Love Light Eyes showed me the path, way. He said "Just love all, even those who hurt you" I then awoke and wrote down this dream, but in truth am not so educated and am unsure what it means.

And a warning, academic swat teams are real not a joke, they destroy lives, kill the spirit, sadly this happens. I am witness to unspoken horrors, must give voice to those lost, ethically am I bound, even if it means they lock me away somewhere I will never be found.
