This video, as with all of my videos, is a response to a particular state of mind I was in. I had just watched a whole lot of police brutality videos on youtube... I'm not even sure why.
I feel an incredible anger and pain at the violence inherent in systems of governance...this video is an expression of the desire to dis-identify with the hierarchy that make it possible.
There is nothing 'rational' about this work, the poetry is stream of consciousness and the video came together around it. I do my utmost not to judge the value of my creative work, leaving it to the past, and moving on to the next project.

Bullet Proof Psyche
The invincible psyche of the outcast mighty
fuck you and your drawn out unsightly
graceless and disgusting hierarchy
bring back the old gods of honor and love
fuck you and your shit stained glove
I renounce all material wealth
I renounce all material wealth and, get it,
the consensus media maim-train of fear and pain
this is ended now, I renounce the victim upset
this bullet proof mind is silver and untouchable
and I Identify with that which cannot be said
the end of Michael is the end of the living dead
I send back my name to the burning pillar
fuck you and your disgraceful disintegration
I don't vote and never have, Its a fact
I actively discourage the policy making hypocrisy
shaking the ground with this decided proclamation
up above there are storm clouds gathering
lets define spiritual fulfillment as the right to relax
the integrated psychology expects no reflection
this is because its reclaimed all projections
the whole is a beast unto itself
and the whole world rolls over to the upstart whelp
where is your honor cos mines on my sleeve
I live in the right place, left in the breeze
the authorship of self claimed authority
is wielded like divine sentimentality
breath it out cos the air is free,
give up the struggle to be somebody
I renounce myself, I die hereby
I've eaten my fears, and blessed my ears
being glorified in immortality
