Poet Introduction
~Falling leaves~ Passing from this state of being. Bury me under a mighty oak tree. Tell the ones that loved me most. To stand below and close their eyes. I will shower them with falling leaves. Like kisses from the sky.

The Devil you know
Knowing Christianity as it has been made to be.
It's like hanging out with thieves an murderers.
but unknown to him. He's done none of that sort.
Then surprised when people think that of him.
Once realized the lack of moral character of these men.
As a upright man he would find that he can not abide
and no longer stand with them in clear conscience.
So he must find his own way.

~NOW FOR MADNESS CORNER~
Have you looked up today and watched the clouds?
Did you see what the cows were doing to the sheep?
Disgusting... I was just shocked...
That is what happens when you look up to much...
You will see what you didn't need to see.
Or a bird craps in your eye. ~Duke Deltree~

~Heaven's Gate~
Do you believe in Evil's lies, saying your vessel dies. Your vessel is nothing then dead weight, to big to fit through Heaven's Gate.
If put in a tomb the vessel's right to life is doomed. Never to get a chance to wake to live and breathe once more in God's day light, also lost is God's living night.
Righteousness stands at Heaven's Gate waiting to measure your heart's weight that will tell you what path you take. If your heart is feather light then you go into the bright.
If it weighs a bit, down you go into the pit, your soul banished into...

Reunion of two Old Rogues
Mark, I wanted to tell ya fer a long time that I am not and was never mad or upset at you about anything and am still not.
I was trying maybe to hard to find a social issue that we might go after together at some point.
It is hard for me sometimes to realize that my interests and passions are not the passions and of interest to others no matter how patient they might be in listening.
It was my hope that we might find other interests and activities to make other memories to recount other than the drinking and outlawing remembrances of our past

~Hat in the Wind~
A dark Muse is stalking me. It flutters like a shadow in the
corner of my eye so I might see and hides her whispered words
deep within me. So that I might know she's given life's darkest
treasures and hopeless hopes into my life a full measure. In the
trees stirring thoughts in the wind voice's yearning wants, She
knows I'm blind with out her. Showing me enough to know her deep
design. Watching for a lax moment she might find. A misstep or
my mind in doubt, with traps cleverly laid about. With her
whispers in my...

Devil To Pay
Yeah, I was also bullied on the way home from school. They'd call me patches dancing around me cause my clothes were hand me downs and clothes that were repaired best my mother could do working hard at two jobs. As we, my mother, a half brother and half sister were very poor in the 50's. My answer to this bullying because of our social position in Society and never ending poverty was a two foot rock fight! I bounced a few rocks off them hard they ran away quickly calling dirty fighter. Yes there was the devil to pay for my actions, but on the other side those jerks never bothered me again”...

Jeez... Wat if
Had a thought what if they our lustrous World Leaders had planned all this strife and horror as the quickest way to bring the worlds people together.
Bring the suffering to such a horrendous scale that we all join hearts together despairing.
Then the Leaders would jump out of closets shouting SURPRISE IT WORKED, we are one! Then a joyous cheer would rise to the heavens. ~Duke Deltree~
I think I'll go cry now

~A State of Being~
The stages of society might appear to work like this. First there's two beings probably at the only water.
They agree not to kill each other but to share equally. The third shows up and the two agree not to kill the third.
But make him carry the water for his share which is slightly less and this sort of recruitment continued.
Now while this is going on other beings have been watching and getting water individually at night while the first interaction of living beings sleep.
At which time the local predators didn't sleep making it a little...

~Religion kill~
Religion kill~
When I see Religion kill, in the name of God they will.
Sounds to me like it's man's hand, playing out evils plans.
They have God in a box and take it out to pay the cost of every person's life that's lost.
Bloody evil men draw near taking command of every weak man's ear.
Other men see and live in fear and love the things that they hold dear, feeding all into the flames playing bloody men's religious game.
I could go on that would take to long, to tell such an evil tale.
But wait it's...

~Seductor~
At first it was a riddle or rhyme done just to kill some time.
Then I found you at hearts door wanting to hear a little more.
Seductive powers you do use, now you know a little truth. Heart
would turn and run away but you would show up everyday. Picking
the lock on heart's door finding out a little more. Heart grows
faint, then you have a subtle way. Telling now all heart's truths
in a vain attempt to seduce you. ~Duke Deltree~

~Echo of Time~
Living in an echo of time, thinking of lives left behind.
Their faces forever young, laughing and crying, loving and dying
one by one. Though I loved each back then. Hearing an echo of my
friend and as the memory fills my head, feel a stirring in my soul
where there was love is now sorrow. As the echo's gather round I
feel my heart would sink to the ground. Time and trial now I must
face. Just as the life's end draws near life's sounds and echo's
will appear with all my loves that I hold dear, sorrow will flee
and...
