Words From Ken

A collection of writing, songs, poems by Ken King. More words will be added soon, so please keep checking in.

Declaration of Interdependence

When in the course of human events it becomes necessary

for one people to transcend political boundaries and assume

among the powers of Earth the true status of co-creators,

conscious enlightened aspects of Gaia, a decent respect

for the Dharma of human experience requires that they

describe the basis for this new awareness.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Beings

are equally creative, that they endow and are endowed

with certain inalienable rights and responsibilities,

that among these are Life, Freedom and Love

for all Creation; that to express these sublime traits

they bond together as self-governing entities with

compassion, wisdom and joy, that any other bonds

or institutions which are not conducive to these ends

may, and should be, firmly and finally renounced.

Prudence indeed will dictate that laws and governments

are not always wrong and evil, but when a long train of

corruption, insensitivity and greed, all pointing to one end,

evinces a design to reduce human life to mere mechanical

response at best, to threaten all life with extinction at worst,

it is the right, it is the duty, to throw off such a government.

Such has been the patient suffering of humans, of Gaia herself.

We therefore, Representatives of the Living Universe,

appealing to the Supreme Judge of the World

for the rectitude of our intentions, and by the Authority

of our Love for one another and for all conscious life

solemnly declare and publish and celebrate that we are

free though interdependent beings, that we are absolved

from any allegiance to obsolete cultural, racial or ethnic bias,

and that all such prejudices are dissolved; that as enlightened,

free and interdependent beings we have the responsibilty

and full power to express our mutual love and gratitude

and to do all other things that true participants in Creation

should do. And for the support of this Declaration

and with the firm reliance on the strength of Truth

we mutually pledge to each other and to all Creation

our bodies, out minds and our inherent divinity.
