Soul News (New Media)



& one day
The news said No

we will not repeat such things

On a screen
we read for you

words our Heart will not

& one day
The news said No

we will not be on such teams

to bring you things
Of good instead

we search our mouth to see

and if our Light
feel too dim

We take a day off on a whim

and sit in silence
As we read

the best and most postive things

or dream
Of a world where

people listen not in a dream

of repeated/
generated

things on screens

but to their heart
And then they speak

(many hearts in need of clean-

ing) for this dream
To start agleamiing

resting from the ways of 'team'-ing

thoughts stuck
In a stockade

all primed to move with flow

towards unknown
An unreal think

of other people's patterns

have become
Your own

and that is not your Soul
