    About :

    Here is a free-writing and free-form performance written and recorded within a two hour time period to preserve the immediacy and charge of the moment.

    This is my first post on 3speak! So welcome to me!

    ===

    Words:
    The devil and the child sit down for a conversation and a cup of black goo
    Together they reminisce on the memories and the loves
    on the trials that life on earth has blessed us with

    The devil commences his diatribe
    The child sits and listens

    You see my evil planned worked
    Well it's working
    Can't you see, it's about power and control
    But power over what
    Who really can tell?

    We need stories
    Yes, the mathematical mind takes over and says
    me me me
    But we need stories

    Stories are told by the young ones
    The young ones have a lot to tell
    If we just listen with ears wide open
    [this is referenced from a song written by Cestmir Bergsma and I here: https://soundcloud.com/montycashmusic/young-ones-original-song ]

    Do you want the devil as your consultant?
    Well here I am
    I'm also in the gentle breeze
    And the birds that go tweet tweet
    Boo!

    Is the darkness alive your consultant?
    Who can tell, that one is the same
    Don't forget to breathe through this ordeal

    My only friend
    Get back on the street, live a full life
    There's one thing you know is certain
    As the darkness envelopes your soul...

    Show the world what you've got
    Show it what you are
    Express you true inner self
    Whatever that may be
    All those things you found on the shelves
    of supermarket spirituality
    That those hipsters in that gentrified town
    Told you all those years ago

    The great black sage, stands up
    A well dressed man, ready to speak

    Here we are, at the behest of time
    At the threshhold of consciousness
    I need products
    I need results
    I need commodities
    Why aren't you working harder?
    I need
    I need
    I must
    I want
    I will

    We both sip from the top of our cups
    We never take the smallest at the black muck at the bottom

    We play from fire
    We play with the fire
    We are the fire
    Be the fire, child!
    So obsessed with your freedom!
    Run, head first into the flames!

    All these games do not matter!
    Run, run into the flames!

    And all this politics and clatter!
    Fly, fly through the earth and its ugly matter

    All this apparent allure,
    wake up to its bullshit and lies

    What are the stories?
    But symbols come to life
    Allow your mind to tell a deep long loving story

    Bring yourself and your tribe
    back home for a time
    Before you take that one last look into the veil
    And open the door to the endless trail

    And breathe easy my love
    Have hope in the end
    My only friend
    Little child inside
    My only friend [obviously a reference to the Doors]
