I Am Talking to America!

Honey, tell your dad it is time for dinner.

Dad, it is time for dinner.
Dad, it is time for you to remember
you are at the cause of it all.
Dad, if you’re such a masculine badass
then why is what you stand for so small?
Dad, the abusive assholes your daughter dates
come from you avoiding of your feelings.
Dad, instead of giving her your credit card,
how about understanding her into healing?
Dad, the boss yells at you so you yell at us
cause you’re too much of a bitch to stand up.
Dad, you’re all about being man enough
yet you’re not man enough for love.
Dad, I’ve never met someone so afraid of hugs.
Dad, kiss the Earth, throw your arms round a tree!
Dad, your anger is keeping you from feeling free.
Dad, when you beat my ass all I felt was your pain.
Dad, that time you crowded the plate,
I threw at your fucking head on purpose.
Dad, you’re only rich cause your white.
Dad, why you’d give up on a life of community service
to serve the foundation of white supremacy?
Dad, I suck dick just so you will hate me.
Dad, you’re scared to death of your emotions
that’s why the only devotion in your life is to sports.
Dad, you’re a mascot for a dead world.
Dad, you think you’re conservative but really you’re a bigot.
Dad, thanks for the small dick the chicks really dig it.

Nick Tillia- 'Loving place we can operate from
but it is the highest place we can operate from in terms of our attraction
cause when I need nothing I am it and I realize it is all here right now!'

Dad, the picture of our family smiling
above the fireplace is a lie.
Dad, your pride froze your inside.
Dad, your friends who died in war, died in vain.
Dad, massage your brain and put down your gun.
Dad, you didn’t get drafted cause the Army didn’t think you were man enough to be buried in Arlington.
Dad, your racist jokes are cops murdering innocent black people.
Dad, you claim a cold heart
but you’re just afraid to confront your own evil.
Dad, if you really did, you’d light me on fire
in the middle of the night and watch my brain melt.
Dad, you think you hate gays but you just hate yourself.
Dad, there’s a world outside your television.
Dad, there’s a planet outside your subdivision.
Dad, there’s a universe within your innervision.
Dad, you should’ve had the balls to run like your father did.
Dad, face your trauma and find a fucking therapist.

Nick Tillia- 'When i act from scaredy, i'm focused on earning something that was never missing in the first place so my attention and my energy and my actions are all misdirected. When i begin from a place of wholeness, I am whole and complete, I am beginning from truth then i ask the question, 'what am i wanting to create from wholeness?'

Dad, I’d gladly never been born to give you
the chance to stand for something, to be Bob Dylan.
Dad, you’re so angry all the time cause your feelings
are so hurt.
Dad, you think it is Satan but it is your Old Testament God
who is the prostitute shitting on your chest after work.
Dad, it is not going to kill you to be vulnerable
it is going to kill you to not be, heartattack.
Dad, it was so sad for me to see you hold back tears
at your father’s funeral.
Dad, when you die I am crying my ass off.
Dad, I will not have children until I’ve forgiven you
and taken this hateful mask off.
Dad, I ate your fucking dinner and I have to take a shit.
Dad, I am using your fucking shitter.

Nick Tillia - 'When you're perceiving yourself from a place of lack, you're thinking how can i get something out of this, how can I get money, how do I get all these things, when you operate from wholeness you ask, how can I be of service?'
