Amitabha

    Chicago June 2007

    the Buddha is the mind
    so many fail in understanding it's teachings because
    they often attempt to find
    answers to questions that aren't in line with their center

    you must practice spring, summer, fall and winter
    this member of the center is the actual mastermind
    connecting the Dan Tien at your belly to
    the dome that sits atop your spine
    the human equivalent to a computer chip
    if not stacked properly
    you could slip a disk or
    at the very least, constantly trip over your own two feet
    into the third eye you must be willing to peak
    material possessions should not be what you seek
    to find balance
    you should practice sitting in silence and
    just hear you breathe
    to master the mind you must be willing to roll up your sleeves
    how long will this battle ensue?
    which side of you shall you turn to?
    within every man there lies a struggle he battles through
    once you've reached that moment of enlightenment
    may you hear
    you
    deep inside
    your spirit self saying
    Amitabha Amitabha Amitabha


    My Chant

    Don't try to make I stop
    Don't even try to block
    I say no o o o o o!

    say I won't take a stop
    till I reach the top
    I say no o o o o o o o!

    here I come with a plan
    got no pistol in my hand

    I say
    no o o o o o o o o!

    when you hear me sing this song
    won't you join in and sing along
    say o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o!
    I've become a wiser a man
    since I came to understand
    the rivers how they deeply flow!

    sip from the precious pure water
    so you can grow

    I man gonna take it easy
    I man gonna take it slow
    say o o o o o o o o o!

    I say don't you know
    man you reaping what you sow
    don't you know!
    don't try to make 3rd eye stop
    I'm about to reach the top
    here we go o o o o o o o o o o o!


    Incense

    Chicago May 2012

    Light incense 1, 2 and 3
    For the mind, body and spirit
    Each breathes
    Blessings be given to humanity
    Through these resins burns hope radiating throughout 69 galaxies x 3 to infinity
    I humbly light 3
    One for Shifu
    Another for Shaolin Temple
    The 3rd, well for me
    While walking these crazy ass Chicago and New York streets
    I was training in the temple and Kha West said,
    "Hey Fo, I got this beat and I want you to spit on it for me"
    incense 1, 2 and 3
    so many lessons are taught but who's learning?
    In the blink of an eye somebody's confirming
    a corpse is found because of a savage yearning
    1, 2 and 3 incense are burning
    while bombs are built and delivering
    destroying, employing destruction
    Babylon enjoying his reconstruction
    Man it looks like an abduction
    Invasion of the body snatchers is so much more than a production
    I light 1, 2 and 3 incense trusting
    Keeping me from lusting
    Too much cussing
    Light 108 up in smoke
    Up into the atmosphere they uncloak
    Every piece of poetry I ever wrote then spoke
    Meditate to the slow float
    Just before it bolts and gets caught into the wind tunnel
    To be funneled into the nose cavity
    A meditation from me equals we
