This is a kriya to heal the broken heart and to resolve long-standing grudges. There is an edited Summary after the video …

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO
What the Kriya Will Do For You
I have here a new mudra and kriya … a way of placing the arms and hands, and a way of walking … to heal the broken or to resolve a long-standing grudge, or to heal the injuries of the heart that have accumulated over many lifetimes.
How to Do the Kriya
The fingers of the two hands are interlaced, except that the index fingers and thumbs are joined, with a diamond shape in between, like this …
Image: “Arjuna Kriya 1: Wide Open Heart Stance with Diamond Mudra and the Silent Step,” by Alice B. Clagett, 24 May 2020, CC BY-SA 4.0 … DESCRIPTION: Hands are together, thumb tips touching, tips of index fingers touching, and palms apart, so that there is a diamond-shaped space between the two touching thumbs and the two touching index fingers. The rest of the fingers are loosely interlaced. The hands are held at the level of the heart chakra, with the joined thumb tips pointing towards the heart and the joined index fingers pointing horizontally outward, away from the person doing the mudra. This is not seen, but relevant: Elbows are out, away from the sides, so that the space between the heart center and the hands is roughly oval. You can walk in a sedate way while doing this kriya. It could be a walking meditation. If you do walk like this, do that special kind of walk where you set down the toes of your feet first, and then your heel. I call this the Silent Step.

This is a Native American way of walking that I learned many years ago from Earth Skills …https://www.earthskills.com/… an animal tracking, wilderness survival, and Native American culture outfit located in Frazier Park, California. According to my Earth Skills teachers, Native American trackers and hunters walked silently over the leaf-strewn forest floors in that way. It is a very graceful way of walking.
So you are holding the wide-open space of your heart, and you are walking gracefully in your meditative stance. To heal the broken heart.

ABOUT ARJUNA
Arjuna was a central character of the Mahabharata, an Indian philosophical epic. This image of Arjuna with bow drawn, riding in a war chariot, with Lord Krishna as charioteer, is one of my favorites …
Image: “ISKCON Jagannath Bbt Partha Sarathi/Krishna Arjun” … https://www.amazon.in/images/I/51uZvfHE1PL.jpg … DESCRIPTION: Arjuna with bow drawn, stands in a moving chariot drawn by four white horses moving at a gallop. Holding the reins of the chariot is Lord Krishna, the charioteer. There are slain men and fighting people all around them.
In a way, the image reminds me of Arjuna Kriya.
That I know of, there are three people that identify as Arjuna, the spiritual son of Indra. I am one of them, then there are two others. You might say that we identify with Arjuna.
In my own timeline theory, I was Arjuna. Because each human being has their own series of timeline choices, it is also possible that the other two people, in their own timelines, experienced being Arjuna in ages past. Who is to say?

1. ECONOMIC STRESSORS THAT MAY LEAD TO DECENTRALIZATION OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT top
I have some thoughts on the state of the nation. Intuitively, I sense economic stressors that may gradually lead to our Federal government taking a lesser role in the governance of the United States, compared to the role of regional alliances of states.
Just to put this into perspective, this might be more of a Libertarian notion as a way of the ruling of the United States, still within the plan of our democracy, but rather different in emphasis from what we have known for a long time as the Democratic / Republican dichotomy.
All this time, Greenpeace and Libertarianism have been on our ballots, so we know they are a part of our democratic process. Only the look and feel of them is quite different, and it may cause us to wonder what is happening in the coming years.
In the coming times, I see the Federal government continuing to provide military defense, social security payments, and leadership in foreign affairs. I also see states taking more initiative in regard to economics for their regions.
As to trade, I see future reliance on established railroad routes and water routes such as the Mississippi River. I anticipate that, should there be a gradual lessening of Federal power, then there might be more trade within an economic region, and less trade globally and nationally.
As to finance, I see potential reliance on barter, with care not to place our financial assets in overseas locations. Local-employment-based credit unions may come into favor as regional savings repositories.
There may be more reliance on those economic sectors that hold strong during recessions … such as locally grown food, locally obtainable building materials, and water supplies not piped in over long distances.
As to economic stressors, I suggest the overarching stressor of the COVID-19 pandemic, the slowly building economic impact of the HIV pandemic, and stress of regional aridity due to long-distance water transport costs,
A socially disruptive stressor is handheld psychosis, which may lead to chaotic events such as mass murders and actions by public utilities, local law enforcement, and the military regarding perceived dangers that do not truly exist. This might precipitate social unrest, especially in regions of the United States pinpointed by the Jade Helm exercises.
…
2. CAVEATS REGARDING POSSIBLE LOCI OF SOCIAL UNREST top
In United States cities, the high cost of housing and the increasing phenomenon of homelessness may lead to social unrest and attempted land grabs through anarchist behavior; this is something for which, I feel, every large city mayor and every state government ought to have on hand emergency action plans.
For states in arid regions, emergency anti-anarchist plans ought, I feel, to highlight security of water transport systems. Electrical grids, I feel, might also be an anarchist target.
I have a few examples for you, state by state …
In California, I see a rekindling of the Latin American ideal of revolutionary ardor, with possible attempts by undocumented workers … or documented workers fleeing from crimes in their homelands under false names. These energies might, for instance, take the form of faking murders of homeowners under pretense of COVID deaths. The intent might be a fast flip of real estate for profit for a revolutionary cause. Or such an attempt might be made so as to charge revolutionaries rent on homes acquired through COVID murder. Such murders might take place under the aegis of religious righteousness … or what I might term leftwing terrorism.
In others of the United States, there may be similar energies of fake COVID deaths to espouse other causes, such as black militance, white supremacy, and so on.
In Utah, there might be a Mormon separatist energy because of the seditionist history I have read took place with the founder of Mormonism. (I read that in Wikipedia.)
In Florida, there might be attempts on political power by drug lords from countries to the south. And so on.
We people in large United States cities can be a big help in creating peaceful environments for our children by offering our law enforcement departments volunteer help through neighborhood watch programs.
…
3. ON MAINTAINING A POSITIVE ATTITUDE IN THE FACE OF CHANGE top
It seems unlikely to me that anything would happen in a moment; rather I feel that the United States might very slowly tend towards a model of government more akin to the state by state model of our early years as a nation. We may find, in future, that traveling from one state to the next is a refreshingly new experience. Not everyone may be watching the same thing on television every night anymore; there may be less airline flights from here to there; and so the natural flavor and local color of each region of the United States may become more striking to the casual tourist.
In addition, it may be that some regions of the United States may be more perilous (that is, more dangerous) for tourist travel, as was the case for travelers in the early years of our nation.
I realize the prospect of change can be unsettling. It is good to keep in mind that changes such as those spoken of … if, indeed, change there be … would in all likelihood take place by slow stages, over the course of the next century or two. Thus I feel certain there would be plenty of time to make our plans and find our footing in the new.

4. POSSIBLE FUTURE UNITED STATES ECONOMIC REGIONS AND TRADE REGIONS top
This section has a series of maps that I have adapted to show possible United States economic regions and trade regions of the centuries that are to come. I would be interested in your comments regarding this intriguing topic of the eventual possibility that the United States government might become less centralized, and more imbued with local flavor and with the strong spirit of our local communities.
HIV-AIDS Pandemic Economic Stressor 1: One Eastern Economic Region Including the Southern States and the Eastern Seaboard
The first map looks like this …

DESCRIPTION: To the right of the white line, One Eastern Economic Region including the Southern states and the Eastern Seaboard …
You can see a topographical map of the United States that also shows the aridity … the rainfall. States that are green have more rainfall; states that are yellow, less; and states that are red, very little rainfall. Then I have drawn a white line showing an economic region that includes the Eastern Seaboard and the Southern states.
These states are very much affected right now … more so than the other states … by the HIV and AIDS pandemic. And my thought was that that might act as a stressor that would consolidate that group of states into an economic region …
HIV-AIDS Pandemic Economic Stressor 2: An Eastern Seaboard Economic Region and a Southern Economic Region
This map encompasses the same general region as the prior map, but it is divided into two economic regions. To the right is the Eastern Seaboard, and to the bottom left, the Southern states. There is a yellow line between the two economic regions …

DESCRIPTION: To the right of the white line, the earlier Eastern Economic Region divided by the yellow line into two smaller regions: an Eastern Seaboard Economic Region and a Southern Economic Region …
So that would be two regions with their own special, local flavor, their own trade agreements; and maybe closely aligned with inter-region trade agreements.
Western Economic and Cultural Stressors: Northwest Economic Region and California Central Valley Economic Region
The below map deals with the West Coast. It shows two economic regions set apart from the rest of the United States with white lines. The upper one is the Northwest Economic Region, and the lower one is the California Central Valley Economic Region …

Jade Helm Stressors: A Utah-Colorado Trade Region; a Texas Trade Region; a Mexican Trade Corridor; and a Florida-Caribbean Trade Corridor
This is an interesting map. The Description is below the image …
Image: “Jade Helm Stressors: A Utah-Colorado Trade Region; a Texas Trade Region; a Mexican Trade Corridor; and a Florida-Caribbean Trade Corridor,” adapted by Alice B. Clagett, 6 December 2019, CC BY-SA 4.0 … DESCRIPTION: Circled in yellow are two possible regions that might secede from the Union, but with which reciprocal trade agreements might be negotiated. Topmost is a Utah-Colorado Trade Region (which might be divided into two separate areas based on dominant religion). Lower and to the right is a Texas Trade Region comprising what is now eastern, central, and northern Texas. Then there are two southern regions delineated in white. These are regions that might lean favorably towards alliance with Mexico, but with which we might anticipate establishing reciprocal trade agreements. To the left is a Mexican Trade Corridor comprising California from Los Angeles and to the south; the lower halves of Arizona and New Mexico, and the southwestern part of Texas. To the right is the state of Florida, which might lean favorably toward the Caribbean countries, but with which we might anticipate establishing reciprocal trade agreements; this I term the Florida-Caribbean Trade Corridor … CREDIT: The topographic map is “USA topo en.jpg” [USA Topographical Map], from Wikimedia Commons … https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:USA_topo_en.jpg … CC BY-SA 3.0 Unported

As to the Utah-Colorado Trade Region: In Utah, the Mormon faith is very strong. And in Colorado, the Christian faith is very strong. I thought that those two areas of this economic region might pull separately apart, possibly along religious lines.
Southwestern Arid Region: Small Town and Native American Reservation Citadels
This is an interesting map. There is a Description below the image …
Image: “Southwestern Arid Region: Small Town and Native American Reservation Citadels,” adapted by Alice B. Clagett, 6 December 2019, CC BY-SA 4.0 … DESCRIPTION: Circled in white is the large Southwestern Arid Region, which might move to more local forms of small town government … as well as continuing with Native American Reservation governments … should the nation become less centralized.

This economic region includes the Great Basin, the Great Rocky Mountains, and the western portion of the Great Plains …
This area of the country is very, very arid. One can tell that by the color. I have cordoned off this entire arid zone as an area where Native Americans may establish reservation ‘citadels’ or ‘city towns’ that might act as trading posts for the area, for instance. I consider that they would become more like ‘city states’ if transportation slows down in the United States, and especially in that area, over the centuries.
Central Breadbasket Economic Region
On this map, the area in question is rather green. There is a little yellow, so that part is a little more arid land. It comprises the United States to the west and to the south of the Great Lakes. It includes most of the Mississippi River Valley as well. It looks like this …
Image: “Central Breadbasket Economic Region,” adapted by Alice B. Clagett, 6 December 2019, CC BY-SA 4.0 … DESCRIPTION: Circled in green is a Central Breadbasket Economic Region, with plentiful rainfall and good river transportation. This includes the eastern portion of the Great Plains, as well as the area south of the Great Lakes, west of the Appalachians, and north of the Southernmost states … CREDIT: The topographic map is “USA topo en.jpg” [USA Topographical Map], from Wikimedia Commons … https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:USA_topo_en.jpg … CC BY-SA 3.0 Unported

DESCRIPTION: Circled in green is a Central Breadbasket Economic Region, with plentiful rainfall and good river transportation. This includes the eastern portion of the Great Plains, as well as the area south of the Great Lakes, west of the Appalachians, and north of the Southernmost states …
We can anticipate that, if this continues to be a breadbasket area, it could provide food for other economic regions in the United States; and therefore, we would need to maintain some form of transportation to the south and to the east of the Central Breadbasket Region. The question would be whether transportation might be maintained across that vast, arid expanse to the west of the Breadbasket; or whether the Western Seaboard would need to grow its own foodstuffs as transportation became less prevalent.
Possible Future Capital Cities of the United States
Here is the last section, and an interesting one. I have for you three possibilities labeled 0, 1 and 2. The first is Washington, D.C., numbered ‘0’, because that is where the capital of the United States is right now.
Next is Lancaster, Pennsylvania, labeled ‘1’. Long ago, our nation’s capital was Lancaster; so I thought, perhaps one day our capital will be there once more.
And the last is Saint Louis, Missouri, labeled ‘2’. Saint Louis is right in the middle of the Breadbasket. I suggested Saint Louis as the second possibility because the location would be more centralized, and it might pull the other regions together.
Image: “Possible Future Capital Cities of the United States,” adapted by Alice B. Clagett, 6 December 2019, CC BY-SA 4.0 … DESCRIPTION: The current capital of the United States is Washington DC (numbered ‘0’ on the map). Because of the AIDS crisis in Washington DC, and because our nation’s capital was once Lancaster PA, I suggest eventual relocation of the Capital back to Lancaster (numbered ‘1’ on the map). Farther out in time, it may be that Saint Louis, MO (labeled ‘2’) would prove a good location for our nation’s capital … CREDIT: The topographic map is “USA topo en.jpg” [USA Topographical Map], from Wikimedia Commons … https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:USA_topo_en.jpg … CC BY-SA 3.0 Unported

In the event of decentralization here in the United States, I feel the United States might expect to enjoy three power blocks along geographic lines of the three COVID pacts now in place amongst states in the Eastern States, the Midwest, and the Western States …
The Eastern States Multistate Council to do with COVID consists of the states of Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island …
As well, there is the Midwest Governors Regional Pact” to do with COVID. This consists of the states of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin …
Here is the map of the power blocks for these pacts, which, I feel, may well be expanded to assure continuity of taxation, mail delivery services, securance of real property rights, and local military defense, in the event of decentralization of the United States …

6.4 CAVEATS FOR UNITED STATES DOMESTIC TOURISTS top
It may become more difficult to travel from state to state; this may have to do with lack of availability of gasoline, or lack of availability of charging stations for electric cars.
United States tourists may find it less safe to travel to other states. Their lives may even be imperiled while staying in some small towns that are distant from their own residences.
There may be tampering on a local basis with criminal databases, combined with identity theft and synthetic identity fraud, so that a tourist to a small town in a distant state is fraudulently classed as a criminal, and then subjected to local laws whose flavor and whose meeting of criminal punishment differs greatly from those in the tourist’s home town.
For instance, in the visited town euthanasia of senior citizens might be legal. The ‘captured’ tourist might be legally executed on a charge of senile dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. That charge could be made to stick through unrelated, criminal local people swearing on oath that the person is their spouse, swearing that the age is elderly, stating that the person has no money or means of earning it. Then the tourist might be killed and his or her money divvied up amongst the judge and the perjuring criminal.
Other instances: Blue laws and the penalties for child molestation, and the enforcement of these laws differ greatly from state to state. It is easy to assume that what ‘flies’ in one’s own state will ‘fly’ in the tourist town. Then, quick as a whip, a person might find himself behind bars and far from home, and subject to whatever local scam will fleece him of his money.
Another instance: Drug possession laws differ greatly from state to state. The scenario is the same as for Blue laws.
Drug lords may be in possession of the town, as was the case with Baltimore, Maryland, in recent years. If so, anything goes. Best not to set foot there. It is possible that local law enforcement and local court systems in towns ‘captured’ by drug lords might function in ways unexpected by a tourist, because of the threat of death for themselves and their families, and also because of financial inducements by drug lords. In other words, the tourist’s life might be worth a nickel. Maybe less.
A local tradition of bribery of officials is a consideration for tourists. This horse kicks two ways: You might be jailed if you do not bribe; or you might be fined for attempting to bribe. I am at a loss for words here.
Other instances: Homelessness may be considered a cause for euthanasia without court trial. This stance might be set in place by barring a tourist from local motels and hotels, then accosting him or her while asleep in their car.
Suppose a local gas fill-up were to result in a car breakdown 10 miles away, say, in the desert. Suppose the gas station owner had a group of related men who went out to scavenge vehicle parts, wallet and credit cards of the stranded car owner, and leave his bones beneath a Joshua tree.
[In terms of unexpected services rendered, I have encountered a case a little like that here in Los Angeles, where an acupuncturist demanded to see the drivers license after treatment, as a prerequisite to payment for services rendered. I intuited that the health care practitioner has an expensive addiction, and had been sending round family members to the addresses on the drivers licenses of her clients to burglarize the homes to help finance her habit. To prevent the victims from returning … in other words, to ensure a fresh group of people to be burgled … the acupuncturist set the electric needle settings too high, so that her clients received muscle-stunning electric shocks from the needles.]
The tourist’s sanity may be placed in doubt through false testimony by local mail-order psychologists also claiming at the local police station to be the ‘spouse’. This may be a game with many innings.
I intuit that local sheriffs and judges place more weight on testimony of their friends and neighbors than they do on the testimony of strangers. Where you visit, if you travel alone, may have crime gangs that, in cahoots with a sheriff or law enforcement officer, railroading tourists with intent to gain more tourist dollars. This may be more likely in low per capita towns.
There may be a local tradition of kangaroo courts that convict a tourist of this or that without his or her presence in the courtroom. There may be other legal irregularities, such as a crooked judge who holds a kangaroo court session on a Sunday, with written judgment conveyed, but with no online record of a court case. The kangaroo court paper of the crooked judge might be used to ‘capture’ and shake down the tourist. There is a danger of legal murder by euthanasia after the shake down, so as to prevent the tourist from taking legal action against the offending parties after changing the venue to their own home town.
In other words, the law may not be on your side, or it may not take the stance you expect it to take, when you travel to another state. This may become increasingly true with time, that towns in states other than one’s own may prove lethally unfriendly to tourists.

Dear Ones,
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON: BINDING DOWN OF THE DEMONIC LIEN-HOLDER OF JAKARTA
Quite a large demon, the lien-holder of the Jakarta City Dome, was bound down yesterday afternoon, through God’s grace. Those who chose to befriend it were likewise bound down. Only God can break those bonds; no other power shall loose them.
Image: Binding Down of a Demon … http://www.prayprayer.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/174305.jpg … DESCRIPTION: Top right, an angel dressed in white, with white wings and a sword, is descending from the sky towards a large golden demon with fangs, horns, and claws that is snarling at the angel. The demon is bottom left. Bottom right, there is a symbol with seven skull-type figures in a circle, with fire in the middle of the circle.
Though, through this spell, some people were bound down, along with the demons, this was less a spell of binding, than a spell of warding. People who befriend demons, do so in order to attack other people. Thus, binding them down prevents them from attacking other people, in the astral realm.
A spell such as this must be cast with a pure heart, a heart devoid of anger and other dark emotions. Otherwise, for sure, they will be the end of the person who attempts the spell. Who knows, maybe something along the lines of what happened to those wicked folks who opened up the Ark of the Covenant in the movie “Raiders of the Lost Ark” …
That scene was way over my horrible-moments endurance level. I have just this to say about it: Do not watch scary movies. And never address the issue of demons and binding spells unless God wants this to happen. To be on the safe side, I suggest aligning one’s mind and heart and will with the Great Mind, the Great Heart, and the Great Will of God, and then asking Him to do the binding, if (and only if) it is His will.
AUTUMN EQUINOCTIAL TRANSFORMATION OF WORLD WAR II KARMA
I took a look at an airline route map for flights between Los Angeles and Jakarta, over the Pacific Ocean …
I note that the route goes over the United Kingdom, glances past France, then goes through Germany.
I get from this that the now-bound-down lien-holder of Jakarta carried the karma of World War II. Now that the demon (some say, Fallen Angel) is bound down, we may hope for peace on Earth, and harmony amongst the countries of the world.
WELL-WISHER JOURNEYS TO THE HELLWORLDS AND BACK
Already here in Los Angeles … in fact … immediately upon God’s blessing of the binding … I felt a great weight of Darkness lifted from over my head, and I felt the freeing of those who had been acquaintances of those befriending the demon.
Last night and today, these acquaintances have been karooming up and down, visiting those bound down with the demon in the Darkness of the Hellworlds, and then back up, into the Light. From a clairaudient perspective, it is pretty weird for me to hear … Their clair voices descend to a very low register … I hear clair shrieks and groans and growls … and then they bounce back into the Light, and their clair voices return to the normal register.
It reminds me of some years prior, when I went on hunting expeditions, down into the depths of the Hellworlds, attempting to ‘save’ folks I knew. I have this to say about that: God is Great. God will take care of all that. It is up to us to take care of our own selves, to stand in God’s grace, and to follow the path of righteousness, insofar as we may, during this lifetime.
AFFIRMATION TO FREE THE SOULS OF THE DAMNED
For those who know their loved ones are in the Hellworlds, and who cannot loose themselves from this concern … though they know it binds their very Souls to that Dark Realm … I suggest saying this affirmation for those they love …
You are free! Go where you will!
RAMA AND HANUMAN FIGHTING THE DEMON RAVANA
The song “Hanuman Chalisa” is a favorite of mine, and so I have learned the story of Hanuman, the monkey god who, despite daunting odds, rescued a human queen from a demon, on behalf of the king he served. Thus the events of the last 24 hours reminded me of this painting of Rama and Hanuman fighting the demon Ravana …
GLUSKAP, HERO OF THE ALGONQUIN, VANQUISHER OF SORCERERS AND OF THOSE WHO FOLLOWED DEMONS
Then, quite by accident, I came across an image of Gluskap, Hero of the Algonquin, who defeated sorcerers, defeated those who followed demons, and granted many wishes to his people. His totem was the red-tailed hawk …
In the Spirit Realm, the events of the last night and day seem to me to echo the Algonquin stories about their folk hero Gluskap, just as the story of Hanuman did.

INCARNATIONAL MEMORIES BY ALICE: A VISION … LOOKING THROUGH THE EYES OF A RED-TAILED HAWK
The image of Native American hero Gluskap, and his friend the hawk, reminds me of a dream I once had of seeing through the eyes of a red-tailed hawk that was circling high up in the sky, and looking down with lightning sharp vision at a mouse scurrying along a chaparral track in a high mountain meadow below.
In my mind, I link the story of Gluskap and the vision through the hawk’s eyes with two remembered lifetimes as a Native American … one as a boy in the Cuyamaca Mountains, and one as a Hopi brave …

INCARNATIONAL MEMORIES BY ALICE: CUYAMACA OMEN A poem by Alice B. Clagett Written on 1 May 2017; published on 31 December 2018
Once I ran
a leaf-strewn path
beside a sometime mountain stream
my family
ground its meal by
Young then, but lithe,
I was
the Silent Runner
It was the black bear
took my life
Still wondering —
What will this brave boy
become?
. . . . .
Later I walked
Those mountain paths
Saw him fly by,
heading downstream
I stopped to nap
under our family’s oak tree,
Woke with a start!
What’s that behind me?
But it was
only a coyote child.
. . . . .
Yesterday
the air was full
of omens
What should I do?
I asked
my Cuyamaca dad
You are, he said,
My cherished one —
Go quick!
May these thy feet
touch not one leaf!
And so I fled
back to the quiet places —
. . . . .
Dad, dad!
Once more I am
the silent runner!
. . . . .
In love, light and joy,
Alice B. Clagett

“The Voice of a Child,” a Poem by Alice B. Clagett, Soundtrack and Words, 3 March 2018
Dear Ones,
Here is a poem I wrote earlier this month …
Although this account is entirely fictional, the inspiration for it was the murder of the child Dylan Redwine in Bayfield, Colorado, after he went missing on 18 November 2012.
As I recall, posters were put up around town regarding a 19-year-old Ute child, possibly from the nearby town of Ignacio, Colorado, who went missing a month later, but I cannot find anything on that child online; perhaps he went back home.
I also recall a couple of instances of foreign exchange students at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado, being posted as missing while out running in the mountains … if memory serves? Was it in the summertime, between 2013 and 2015? As well, I could not find information on them online; perhaps they came safely back to school.

“The Voice of a Child”
A Poem by Alice B. Clagett
Soundtrack and Words 3 March 2018
This account is entirely fictional.
Not long ago, in a country town
chilled to the bone, a troubled child
waited almost an hour for the bus to arrive
A woman, seeming mighty grand
pulled up in an old sedan
Leaned across the passenger seat
opened the door and said, hop in!
For almost a month on the astral plane
Night after night I heard his screams
God, oh God! God, oh God!
When will my father come find me?
Mr MD, What have you done
clipping the eyelids from that man’s son?
Did you think that would awaken him?
The heresy of physical form
makes a man think that a woman is born
when the jewels of his youth are shorn
and then, his mother’s fine clothes are worn
What shows up is an angry man
trapped in a form that he can’t stand
What will he do for a sexual thrill
but find a child at a bus stop to kill?
For over a month on the astral plane
I heard his screams, I felt his pain
And then one day, a man stepped in
and severed the child from his agony
Then for a month or more I heard
a sweet small voice from the wild clair world
I love you, I love you, Mr MD
for ending that nightmare pain in me
I love you, I love you, Mr MD …
Thank you for liberating me
Oh God, if there be a God, please spare
this child, please find him there
Bless him and bring him home again
to the Father who hears when he calls for help
Bless his parents. Heal that place
and by the way, as to Dorian Gray
ask the MD to read it please
Form’s good, but it’s not the only thing
It’s feelings that make our hearts sing
…
In my heart I still hear
month in, month out,
the voice of a child
and how he called out
See the face of a woman
who was not all there
and the glint of a knife
as it arced through the air
I remember how great
was the grief of that town
and how we kept hoping
the child would be found
. . . . .
