Composed by the NewEarth University Co-founding Chancellor, Rev Dr Nancy Ash, DD, PhD, this poem entitled, Cease the CERN, was born in the middle of a windy dark night around 3am during a September-to-Remember, 2015.
Roused to a humble golden pen… giant powers of grace streamed-in as gamma photonic wave-X forces of light shimmered through her 12-strand DNA like the sparkling touch of a wizard’s wand.
You are invited to sip from this poetic cup and pass it on if so inspired.
Savoring the nectar-of-becoming, we all – in resonate psionic heart-minds – surround ourselves in peace with courageous exaltation to a new exemplar during this farcical time, which shall pass away unanointed by awakened loving Souls of heroic grit.

Cease the CERN
peace is upon us this day
on every brow, under foot
in the sky
through the wind in every tree
yes! peace prevails today
in all that drink this cup
in every sovereign Soul
as woman and man
we swallow the big red pill
while CERN collides, smashing to and fro
particles, God-spark to dust be damned!
as we run no more from harbinger of demise
as we wake-up to a dream and see…
slumber in this tide of tears
yes! we ARE con-cerned as
trumpets sound in clarion call
now, this moment of pure truth
we hear – raw and naked – the cries of our children and their children
unborn denizens of a new community
who beat us with a stick for ruthless tomfooleries
and monkey amusements that trick the mind at every turn
yes! we ARE con-cerned as peace prevails today
at phase of moon cloaked, en rouge
for this last silly time
we rise unfettered and unbound, like air
“September-to-Remember”
when the circus clowns come out to play – underground, 300 feet below
around and around they go… to speed of light!
at time of Sabbath while shemitah knocks 7 times at gilded door
she pays our debts from reckless games
in dark alleys with hooded men of association
at ludicrous jaunts
hiding behind Shiva’s dance to the death
yes! we ARE con-cerned as peace prevails today
our paper is pure white
beckoning each librarian to task
as we pull sweet donkeys to water holes
and carry the sloth
helping Dolly’s sheeple while cockroaches run from light
to all, please please drink; please drink this nectar
a renewed earth, en masse with dazzling suits of battered leather
our thick skins inextricably bound
at grand lakes-of-becoming
yes! we ARE con-cerned as peace prevails today
in all that embrace a fresh cup
so please drink while most dilly-dally
while toiling at Sandia with labs lit in shadowed stain
while rambling through White Sands at Trinity:
the Mother, her Daughter and unborn child!
drink thirstily from this cup
elixir of our sparkling beautiful children
as bombs blast
into graves of heritage revisited
lick the wounds clean… to begin anew
yes! we ARE con-cerned as peace prevails today
please take a sip
as the shrouded one presides a dark mass
the epiclesis to all that crash and burn
in folly
in fear
in subjugation to the holy ring
yet we,
of a new people – for the people and by the people
rise and stand at the lakes
quenching our vision-quest in calm waters now fit to drink
seeing faces in clear mirrors – changed forever
yes! we ARE con-cerned as peace prevails today
to all, please please drink; drench your Soul in this lifeblood
cease the CERN…
fresh hearts, HALT! the chase for this throne
renewed friends, END! our nightmare
new earth, STOP! the madness
transfigured ones, CEASE! the CERN
cease the CERN
cease… the CERN and seize this day of peace
for all drinking this transmuted cup
