confined to home
for about a year
now
out of sight
like cargo
stowed away
in the hold
of a ship
held at sea
from entering
a port
a virus
stands before
a door
back to a life
said to be normal
the way it was before
ME
I
have doubts
about what
will be thought
to be normal
in the days to come
MY
intuition
shrouded in
pandemic
apprehension
FEELS
that the VIRUS
will be a part
of the future norm
peace out

hidden in darkness
away from
the pandemic
where exploration
into SELF
as a mystic
has shown
the dimensionality
of my soul
beyond
imagination ~
peace out
Image & Words by ~Keith Alan Hamilton~
an American ethnicity ….
THEM in the know say
I ain’t got one
even though
America can be my nation
and based on genetics
the color of my skin
I have to check off
as my race ….. hmmmm ..…
whatever happened to
that identifier
THE HUMAN-KIND ~
then we would not
have to decide
if the president
of the USA
is either
black or white
or something else
’cause it would then
be up to our acts and deeds
our service to humanity
that should define us
not the daily ROUTINES
we follow according to label
like zombies
without resistance
due to the
social conditioning ~ impregnating
our minds
from the drivel
of political party
media and advertisement
as far as that
ethnicity thing
I was born and raised
in America
I’m a little pinch
of this or that
all important ingredients
added to what makes up a stew
my grandfather called COMMUNITY
WE THE PEOPLE
experiencing
this mixed up blend
of diversity
interacting physically
and cognitively
as this
HUMAN COMMUNITY STEW
with an emergent
cultural flavor
of complexity
born of
WE THE PEOPLE
living and breathing
each day
within a portion
of shared land
while still being
a part of
THE HUMAN-KIND ~
progressively learning
what freedom truly is
or is not
and too
what freedom has still
not fully become ~
~ especially
for many
of our brothers and sisters
as to equality and rights
being a normal reality
of liberty
and that WE THE PEOPLE
represent
so much more than
race ~
skin color ~ sex ~ gender
nationality ~ ethnicity
culture ~ belief
and economic status
the daily ROUTINES
we follow according to label
like zombies
without resistance ….
WE THE PEOPLE
of planet earth
are
THE WHOLE HUMAN-KIND ~
a little pinch

pandemic reclusiveness …..
COVID-19 shut-in ~
facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy
restrictive lung decease
carbon monoxide
polluted
diminished
diffusing capacity
exasperated by …..
sucks like HELL
behind a mask
asphyxiation ~
I’ve been wrapped up
in myself ~ LOL
peace out !

COVID-19…..
PEACE the FUCK OUT
I never liked Corona
anyhow
Heineken
was my preference
you make
an old man
wear a mask
that makes his glasses
fog up…..
I wink at you
out of spite
your occurrence
I wrote about
in my book
Nature ~ IQ
Let’s Survive, Not Die !
seven or so
years ago
and yet
We the People
of planet earth
defy you
you weren’t
smart enough
to know
We the People
will
bond together
through thick and thin
to fight you
’cause We the People
of planet earth
are the adaptive kind
you may
beat us down
but
we will
flick you the bird
then
stand back up
and survive
PEACE the FUCK OUT
COVID-19…..

the HUMAN-KIND
an evolving species
capable of
creative acts…. producing
everything
from bad
all the way to
the good
some would say
the HUMAN-KIND
is
inherently
evil
yes
there are
those naysayers
and doomsayers
that seemingly focus
on the misdeeds
of humanity ….. failing
to note or recall
the positive
and productive acts
that helped to
evolve and sustain
the human species
through time …..
often
the way
one human
sees another
or views
a group of humans
from bad
all the way to
the good
appears limited
by the filtering process of
social conditioning
a tunnel vision effect
experienced
while living
with a limited amount
of humans
or specific groups
of humans
socially fenced off
from other humans
behind the barriers of race ~
skin color ~ sex ~ gender
nationality ~ ethnicity
culture ~ belief
and economic status
divisions stirring
a dis-ease
between factions of
the HUMAN-KIND
a tea like drink
steeped to the brim
with predisposition
inhibition
and stereotype
infectious ingredients
that brew societal ills
despite such
factors and conditions
the HUMAN-KIND
through my eyes
as a self-proclaimed
Mystic Visionary
Spiritual Warrior
Pro-Human ….. Social Activist
Performance Artist ~
I am a believer…..
in the HUMAN-KIND
the vision and intent
behind my positive
pro-human
proactive message
as it pertains
to this matter of belief
in the HUMAN-KIND
I now quote my own prose…..
“This idea of KIND, where humanity ultimately becomes more fully aware of its Kind, THE HUMAN-KIND ! The one and only realization of a Kind by its KIND, regardless the diverse labels of race, skin color, sex, gender, nationality, ethnicity, culture, belief or economic status. Where ONE KIND, We the people of planet earth set aside our differences and unitedly focus on one objective, the future survival of ALL THE HUMAN-KIND. Spiritually as a collective, We the people need to envision the wisdom and benefit of working together to increase the overall well-being of all humanity. A collective conscious, transitional process of spiritual awareness that proactively co-creates a social environment of global healing through the non-violent direct action of OPEN DIALOGUE. A proactive way of communication that leads to a peaceful coexistence among We the people of planet earth and the everlasting preservation of THE HUMAN-KIND.”
“If expecting tolerance to be learned by others, then through example the tolerant, should patiently exhibit tolerance for those learning to be tolerant; even if, the intolerant are becoming tolerant, a lot slower than what is expected by the tolerant; how else should the tolerant expect the intolerant to learn tolerance?”

yes or no
that
its was
a past
reality
that fuckin’
SUCKED
RESIST the negative
effect
left behind
by Trump WORLD ….

Peace and Love
Love and Peace
for and with
ALL our KIND
HUMAN-KIND
a Kind
that’s one
of many kind’s
living and non-living
in nature
a species
made up of INDIVIDUALS
each and every-ONE
a HUMAN
ALL should have
HUMAN-RIGHTS
RIGHTS for HUMANS
as INDIVIDUALS
based around
HUMAN
born ideals
of choice
liberty ~ freedom
equality
justice
and prosperity
a pro-human
vision
that is well worth
the struggle
create social change
through Non-violent
Direct Action
initiate learning
and development

and healing process
of Open Dialogue
peace out
Words by ~Keith Alan Hamilton~
I will say it again…
RIGHT of choice
liberty ~ freedom
equality
justice
and prosperity
for ALL our Kind
HUMAN-KIND
why do some
not get
the ALL word
ALL = INDIVIDUALS
first and foremost
regardless
the group labels
of race
skin color
sex
gender
nationality
ethnicity
culture
belief
or economic status
if ALL
INDIVIDUALS
have the RIGHT
of choice
liberty ~ freedom
equality
justice
and prosperity
then ALL groups
would have the SAME
create social change
through Non-violent
Direct Action
initiate learning
and development
by way of the peaceful
and healing process
of Open Dialogue
peace out
