Formal Declaration of 9

By: Ken Scott
Los Angeles, California, USA

It is time for us to end this.
It is time for us to end the confusion,
the congestion, the hustle culture,
the vicious competition for survival,
and the monetization
of human life itself.
It is time for us to end this.
It is time for us to end the original greed,
the self-entitled avarice,
the violent conquests,
the hate, the wars,
the tortures, the rapes,
and the senseless slaughter,
time for us to end the shootings,
the hangings, the lynchings,
the burnings, the bombings,
the colonizations, the thefts,
the genocides, the ethnic cleansings,
and every last form
of for-profit dehumanization.
It is time for us to end the superstitions,
the religious excuses, the pious ignorance,
and the selfish blindness
that have maintained our bondage
to countless centuries of mortality,
time for us to end our enslavement
to instruments of death and destruction,
time for us to end our vulnerability
to the weapons that have been wielded
against us all,
time for us to end all empires
of oppression and exploitation,
once and for all,
so that humanity is truly
free.
When we know
who we really are,
this corrupt world
ceases to exist.
It is time for us
to Awaken.
We are the Infinitesimal Infinite,
the Silence of all sounds in One,
the Nothingness that is Everything,
the Briefest Eternity
and the Omnipresent Now,
the Singularity of Pure Consciousness
from Everlasting to Everlasting.
And it is time for us to end
this world of darkness,
so that the World of Light,
Peace, Empathy, Compassion,
Wholeness, Supernatural Being,
Eternal Truth, Eternal Life,
and Eternal Love
embraces us all.

We already know
what to do:
we choose
to BE.

About this poem of affirmation: Ken Scott
“Beyond all reasonable doubt, world events have reached a rather disturbing and pivotal point in the totality of human history.  From hostile wars of for-profit aggression to livestreamed genocides, the societies of this world have brought the entire collective of humanity to an unprecedented precipice.  And it is from this precipice that we either soar above these nightmares or fall headlong toward our own extinction.  I strongly believe that we have the ability to soar. Nevertheless, it requires an affirmation of who and what we are at our core, so that we may fulfill that path of enlightenment and ascension.  To that end, I wrote and recited a poem, entitled “Formal Declaration of 9,” intended for this crossroads, in the hopes that many others would likewise recite this poem between now and the end of the year 2025, toward awakening that enlightenment and ascension in the collective soul of humanity.”
