lucy in the sky

it's a sight I wont forget

visiting diamonds

Neil to be precise

flash backs of my youth

a smell triggers memories

joyous ecstasy

senses are reeling

shivering yet bathed is sweat

this sure can't be good

clench tight my arse hole

we all need a little purge

my eye balls might pop

where does it come from

there is one thing for certain

I didn't eat that

three willie wag tails

you've my heart felt sympathy

now your down to two

one pushed out the nest

breeding in my brugs

feline quick to pounce

one of your nine lives

Travel to Peru.

Prepare for ceremony,

Ritual brew consumed.

Great Master Shaman,

please take me under your wing,

chant, shake your rattle.

Purging, then release.

The illusion is removed.

Now knowing the truth.

bump

just a reminder that entries for the EGA 2010 haiku poetry competitition close at noon this sunday (october 3).

if you haven't gotten round to it yet, there's still plenty of time to submit a poem! you're also free to submit entries after this point, but they won't be eligible for this year's competition.

many thanks to those who have submitted an entry, and especially to the haiku n00bs. the number of entries for this year's competition have been far far greater than last year B)

ronny will be kindly supplying tickets to this year's EGA 2010 symposium to the winners, headlined by rick doblin from MAPS.

[shameless plug]

if you still don't know what EGA is about, i recommend you check out the EGA website (www.entheo.net) for more details. and if you don't know who rick doblin is and why his work matters, then you'd better check out the MAPS website (www.maps.org)

[/shameless plug]

i'll be away at dragon dreaming but when i get back i look forward to having a long and careful read of all your entries and announcing the winners!

life is a journey

remember to take the steps

standing on the spot

look around you friend

should be thankful for your lot

always ask for more

these words are written

just look back in history

they knew the secret

you asked and you got

you do it every day

ask as certain way

think and you'll be strong

the power is in your head

you are what YOU think

The end..........

lived with the devil

threads of deceit weave the veil

because i rebelled

lived with the devil

evil lives that lived a lie

yell like a rebel

the veil is a liev

jesus lived with the devil

santa is satan

we're in the same club

i look at you, look at me

mutherfucker what

the veil is a lie

the answer begs the question

live to be evil

you crazy daemon

you don't actually exist

so neither do I

i love to evolve

i fear i will forget again

evil is my friend

know your enemy

exists as adversary

to the pride in me

hubris hurts my feet

sell my soul to be elite

to buy some new shoes

oh lord save my sole

or save some money for me

my shoes have worn out

pyramids are cool

cosmic cycles set in stone

change them if you want

paranoid outlook

i'm suspecting everything

and fearing nothing

embedded in truth

the very seed of deceit

awaits to bear fruit

composting decay

They feed off our dead bodies

as we feed off theirs

the train is coming

sorry i got distracted

lost my train of thought

iron helps us play!

irony is gods teaching

iron butterfly

i'm in a cocoon

used to be afraid to die

the end is a lie

there wasn't a start

and yet we always pretend

there must be an end

the never ending

sto-o-ry! ah-aah-ah ah

-aah-ah ah-aah-ah!

there is truth in myths

because truth doesn't exist

and neither do myths

there is no such thing

how long is a piece of string

you need ears to sing

every now and then

and then sometimes everywhen

when time starts to blend

when myths become true

you am i and we is you

singulari-two

the truth in the myth

is that truth doesn't exist

without deception

the truth of the myth

is that it doesn't exist

without reflection

the point of fiction

is to mistake it as fact

ideas are just that

great mythology

orientates the psyche

atonement a'hoy!

the moment is now

it always was and will be

what do i do now?

do i do nothing?

nothing has ever been done

should at least pretend

should i do something

there's never nothing to do

nobody wants to

beliefs stick like glue

always wear protective gloves

do not get in eyes!!

i got a cutlass

an eye patch covers one eye

i rule this planet

some they call it tau

when it is what it is not

it's like holy cow!

immaculate birth

out of nothingness they thing

it is what it is

epic, isn't it?

that this is it! what is it?

i think this is it!?

reality myths

are like lights that attract moths

code written by thoth

decode the matrix

debunk the proof of the truth

fire burning the roof

high horse i've ridden

my ego obscures the view

i'd like to see you

no ego to hide

i can just now see my self

soon go back to stealth

i wash my third eye

my ego is crucified

see? i'm on your side!

eye drops for third eyes

clean outer layer of scum

glaucoma disguise

the truth of pretense

we are all a hypocrite

i fake to make sense

lemon pledge needed

in need of cleaning products

eye can see clear now

abstract poetry

never be boring to me

apart from just now

birth and life and death

inhale, exhale and again

it just keeps going

vampires are stalking

i can smell their lizard breath

not scared of the hisssss

snake eyes are watching

so i brewed this concoction

of pure love and joy

unconditional

the love that i have for me

it's narcissistic

unbelievable

truth replaced by a fiction

called reality

chained by my own pride

i show a facade and hide

who it is inside

chained by possessions

imprisoned by my ideals

dreams create nightmares

there's an art to it

the science of having fun

technically happy

radio station

alien technology

tuning frequency

an evolution

not treadmill revolutions

is a solution

hubris proven right

by the strength of its own might

never see the light

i lost track of it

so I've back tracked to find it

rewind reminded

need to reconnect

to the ones i did forget

friendships i neglect

keep building a shell

while I'm scared to death of life

life scares me to death

you know you will die

and the thought is killing ya

my comedy kills

each drop of blood spilled

the reality instilled

must enjoy life now

i am that i am

alpha and omega man

the sea and the land

scared to death of life

all I see are dead people

love a lively death

life scares me to death

i love it how i do that

dying to live life

forgot to forget

that nothing is important

holding back the fool

i believe in doubt

i'm at least certain of that

remain skeptical

morons rule the world

and it's a real shitty place

i know it's a fact

i know mystery

i forget what the truth is

i really don't care

because the truth is

reality is ruthless

your bones are toothpicks

obsidian dark

there's a presence in the void

friction causes sparks

hoodwinked by the truth

enlightened through deception

fiction is the proof

truth is shapeshifting

it might not make sense right now

maybe now it will

knowledge is evil

ignorance is a virtue

suffer in silence

serpentine knowledge

slithers into new facades

i forget intent

why did I fall in

the purpose of me being here

murky turns to clear

why is the question

never finding the answer

it's because this is...

forgot to forget

so instead i got obsessed

and now i'm possessed

please tell me again

that I should think for myself

can't trust no one else

gods own omniscience

made manifest everywhere

through my ignorance

too much faith in doubt

i'm certain that i'm unsure

what it's all about

symbolic matters

are metaphysical proof

of literal truth

fingers never fing

although hands come in handy

my feet are real neat

cobblestone curfews

wolves wearing jumpers

kind custodians

infiltrate the herd

wolves wearing woolen jumpers

murder with their word

can i see my choice?

do i chose how to see it?

should i believe it?

beware the ambush

in the movie three hundred

few conquered many

few will be many

levers of power exposed

now I want a go

drain me of bad blood

take all you wanted and go

i'm holding no grudge

transmutate my lead

mental shackles in my head

food for thought spoon fed

just trust in yourself

you know more than you would think

bloody know it all

i only fear fear

i distrust my skepticism

i trust my blind faith

i only fear fear

i'm skeptical of skeptics

i trust my distrust

i see faith is blind

my hypothesis proves it

i believe my eyes

for ever a ride

forget evolve and repeat

fear ends and resends

for ever a ride

fear ends and reveals its face

love can't ever hide

it's good or evil

so open your eyes and choose

or just hit the snooze

ignorance is bliss

blissful in my ignorance

i know i know naught

i think therefore i

know that i don't know nothing

and that is something

if your hopes should pass

re-invent yourself my friend

just simply pretend

a continuum

the store map says you are here

i can't find myself

i took way too much

really it was just enough

thinking too much stuff

i don't understand

so don't try to stand over

the law is thy will

luciferian

lessons light up the darkness

if you're down with it

fell into the pit

ignorance to find gnosis

from venomous lips

i fight against war

disobey obedience

try to keep the love

the mirror stares back

obsidian eyes, jet black

tell me, who is that?

enemies are friends

i'm my own adversary

and you're just pretend

was un-responsive

to the riddle, thumbs twiddled

be response-able

free will is a test

will you choose to walk your path

or follow the rest

daemons demand debts

parasites protect pockets

sinking sky rockets

my anxiety

I'm anxious for it to leave

but it's all I know

run fast road runner

beep beep beep! keep teasing that

wiley coyote!

trust the good shepherd

to lead you to the slaughter

your soul tastes crunchy

freeman on the land

not a pirate of the sea

no more taxing me

lion and the lamb

ocean waters and the sand

gods grace and the damned

of sheep and shepherds

through slaughter lead to freedom

everything's backwards

evil rituals

reap the harvest live slautir

to live is evil

alive is a lie

an evil lie is to live

the veil is a liev

death is certainty

because life is uncertain

of this i am sure

trust the death culture

the proof is in the pudding

life is a vulture

my light casts shadows

inner peace, outer unrest

i'm trying my best

harmonise my thoughts

as one holographic chord

everything is none

knew all the answers

before i asked a question

chasing my own tail

the biggest secret

is there hidden in plain sight

by incredulity

the biggest secret

the one known by everyone

unbelievable

the secret of truth

is that it is fantasy

which reveals its' proof

truth is make believe

secrets are spoken aloud

no-one hears the sound

i'm wondering why

i keep walking in circles

just wandering by

the path towards truth

to know what is wrong from right

what is right from left

tv and flouride

designed to kill my third eye

it's insight-icide

recreational

use of psychedelic drugs

re-creates gods love

information forms

define the edge of reason

knowledge of the ledge

wise wide eyes can see

beyond the lines of reason

knowledge of the ledge

university

information forms my mind

you will never see

university

information formation

universal mind

universally

one mind like a school of fish

hook line and sinker

sacrifice free will

individuality

or monsanto seeds

the death culture waits

as we walk through the desert

above fly vultures

below slither snakes

real people posing as fakes

time sits still and waits

spirits in disguise

otherworldly messengers

spies fly in de skies

dear thunderideal,

in answer to your question, no i wasn't the one that gave you a +1 rating for the use of the word "cunt". however, i have now. thank you for bringing this to my attention. i will always endorse the gratuitous use of the word cunt. the more unnecessary and completely out of context, the better. i just love it when cunts throw round that word like it's going out of style.

much love,

faustus

harmonise my thoughts

(the dude)

faustus' magickal mystery prize for funniest haiku

TBA -- have exams coming up! :blink:

congrats to the two of you :wink:

you'll each be getting tickets to the 2010 Entheogenesis Australis symposium at Melbourne university with Rick Doblin (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies) and Alex Wodak (Australian Drug Reform Foundation) featuring as the keynote speakers. if you haven't decided if you're attending, what the hell are you waiting for??? there's only a few weeks left so if you haven't, check out the list of speakers cos it's mighty impressive -- http://www.entheogenesis.org/speakers/

***

special thanks to ronny for donating the EGA tickets and all who submitted their poems to this year's comp! in last year's inaugural haiku poetry comp we had ~125 entrie, which i was quite suprised by. this year we had 500+ entries ... i'm quite flabbergasted at this great response really :wub:

it was far more than i expected and i needed to recruit some fellow EGA crew members to help me narrow the finalists down, so many thanks to these individuals.

choosing a winner was no easy task, and we were very impressed at the quality of the entries! (+for the record, the names of the authors were separated from the poems, to prevent possible biases in judge selection)

it was good to see a larger number of members submit poems and a bunch of n00bs too, and i hope that this it's inspired more than a few people to continue exploring this form of expression beyond this competition.

catchya all at EGA in a few weeks + hope to see some more totally dope submissions same time next year
