get real gone
there is so much unutterable ugliness in the world, and so much bullshit, you know,
cheap plastic bullshit, cheap bullshit culture
duplicitous bullshit politics...shady electioneering...layers of greed, layers of incompetance,
layers of outright evil.. nazis in the street, devils in the boardroom
all the layers of filth and struggle that are put upon a person from waking to sleeping...from birth until death....
all the layers of atrocity which pile up while the corrupt machine grinds on.....
chewing the land into a flat...

WHY WILL RUSSIA INVADE LITTLE ISRAEL
(RIGHT AFTER BOMBING THE USA AND OVERRUNNING EUROPE)
THE Kremlin knows about Russia in Bible Prophecy. - that Russia will supposedly lead an international invasion of little Israel in the EndTime (our own time)(Ezekiel 38-39; Daniel 11.41-45). The Kremlin knows what is supposed to happen: the SECOND COMING defeats the Russian invasion(Ez. 38.23; 39.7-8, 21-22, 28-29; Zechariah 14.7). But you see the Kremlin does't believe that there is a God or Christ/Messiah in the first place. They would love nothing more than to prick - pop - the God balloon.They desperately want to disprove the...

The World’s Oldest Profession
(Pussy in the Sands)
“Whoring has been around since the begging of time
Because women of all shapes and races has been selling behind,
“Let’s start off in the days of the Egyptians
Where the Pharaohs was doing some tall pimpin,
“From Hebrew slaves, to fine ass concubine babes
Fucking from the throne room to the desert caves,
“Getting buck nasty with any bitch
And if she refused the dick-then straight to the alligator pit,
“If the queen wasn’t giving up the ass
She could be eliminated real motherfuckin fast,
“The queen couldn’t argue,...

Just Do It
The New York Marathon Is finally Calling
No more time to waste, no more time stalling
I am so frightened, for the biggest day of my life
Can I finish this marathon for all the times I suffered the muscular pains in strife
Seventeen more days
Bib number, sports bra, Nike biker shorts, sneakers, ready to run and play
In remembrance as I trained through the storms, the rains
The torrid damaging hurricanes
Indoor track, around and around as I went in the midst as snow outside remained
Nike after Nike sneakers, worn, tattered and old ...

Llangollen Wales
The old track crunched its way to Llangollen,
through fields and sheep and rain
racing with the road Telford laid
canal, boats, ducks and motor cars
all going west this morning.
Do you know the place
Eisteddfod, choirs,
and dancing in the street?
Red dragons flying high, tall hats
and pretty women,Celts, Saxons, Vikings
foot-steps, strange tunes from the Urals,
sopranos heavy in their blouses.
Parish church and cassocked crow,
en-caustic tiles, tunes in...

smash the mirrors
EPISODE 27 SMASHING THE MIRROR
What do you say to someone who believed that there spouse would be healed, but the spouse dies?
What do you say to someone who believed the lord promised blessings and love, but life went in the very opposite direction?
What do you say to the woman who has waited years for a promised mate?
What do you say to anyone who has been promised gold and given only brass?
When the events in life do not go the way you had hoped, and prayed and believed, what do you do?
When there are no answers that really make sense?
When you...

Straight Talk
The Philosophy Behind Religions
The universe to serve your Deity comes with various personal decisions
Ancient of Days, Father/Abba, Most High, Elohim, El-Shaddai, Yahweh, Allah, God, Jehovah and Adonai, and Abba just to name a few
Whenever you kneel and pray, it’s your King, you give spiritual credence too
If one’s soul yearns to get to a heavenly resting place
Then one must find a way on earth to remain humble among falling grace
If so, then why are we separated by gradations of who we pray to on our knees
Spiritual enlighten doesn’t come with...

kindness
Episode 21 KINDNESS
I was walking around Monmouth this morning and wondering what would be the theme of today, and the word "Kindness" came to mind. I perused the newspapers in the Library, full of headlines of scandal, damage, debt, corruption and despair. On the back pages the latest gossip and victories of the Sports teams, and none of it was kind at all.
Acts of Kindness seem to be more rare these days. So let me list all that spring to my mind that have happened to me.
I have been bought and given clothes when I had nothing. I was given a car when mine...

That sort of Street
Red, wood and graphite
sharpened at the other end
drawing simple messages.
leaning on the desk.
My books beneath the lid,
An ink-well on the right
A mix of water and black powder

'Stevens' on the label.

PAIN
START AGAIN EPISODE 7
Pain is a strange force. When something hits your emotions its amazing how seemingly unconnected situations and events suddenly come along to form a chorus to make the pain feel deeper and worse then it should. A word becomes a weapon. An incident becomes a life decider. If we ever felt bad about ourselves this latest pain just reinforces all those old feelings and before you know it you are back in the pit of despair again.
This is what happened to me yesterday when a series of events took my bearings away and I was drowning in a sea of injustice, poor...

Seasons Of Woman
It came
Crashing down like
An avalanche in slow motion
Steady and merciless
Hovering in the
Stillness and
Staleness of air
The scent of her womanliness
No longer as ripe
The high no long as exhilarating
Once a fine sugary plum
Now a bitter prune
Dried up like the options
She thought she'd
Always have
But no one
Ever told her
Not her mama..not her auntie
No one told her
That time was never
On her side...
Crashing down like
An avalanche in slow motion
Steady and merciless
Hovering in the
Stillness and
Staleness of air
The scent of her womanliness
No longer as ripe
The high no long as exhilarating
Once a fine sugary plum
Now a bitter prune
Dried up like the options
She thought she'd
Always have
But no one
Ever told her
Not her mama..not her auntie
No one told her
That time was never
On her side...

the lies in the world
EPISODE 29 THE LIES IN THE WORLD
Apartheid was born in a Church denomination. Slavery was condoned and promoted by some churches. The Catholic church, to my knowledge, has never repented of its support of Hitler. Hatred, prejudice, rape, destruction and war has been promoted in the name of God. Racism and Sexism has not only been tolerated ,but often supported, in subtle and not so subtle ways in Church.
We know the Devil is this God of this world and the father of lies so we can expect those who follow him actively, or in ignorance, to carry the same lies in their words and...
