SOUNDS OF THE FIRST GOOD FRIDAY
Humanity held not its breath
when Jesus was sent to His death.
Many were crying to the sky
that Pilate ought to "CRUCIFY!"
Others called "You save yourself!"
as His feet hung to the cross shelf.
I imagine a noisy day
on morning of first 'Good Friday'
as, serenaded by a crowd
In jeers, at his forced walk, quite loud
bar some women , more sensitive,
who wept for Him, not long to live.
Then finally, his great death cry -
"It is finished!" ("Tetalestai!") -
emanating like explosion,
making the old centurion
say this...

Last Stand in Honky Land: 1945 style
No kraut could make a baby fast enough
once the world caught on to their sick plan
where they thought their "master race" was so tough
that they'd win all of the fights they began...
and now, eighty years on, their curse is back,
where paleface thinks they own the world
and will not share it with the brown and black
or have their blood be by nature swirled
and by that spin a worthy future make
where turpitude no longer serves to pay,
for sabotage, or any news that's fake,
just for the worst of us to have their way...

The Rising...
Easter is a fabulous time of year
Spring is in the air
Sun shines bright
Flowers bloom
It's feeling fresh
But something isn't right
For someone is dying, lying on a cross
He is in hell and no one can help
He is carrying the burden
The weight of our sins
But with death comes life
A sense of beginning
Renewal
Salvation
Starting over
The best part of Easter is...
Knowing he has risen
Born again
A man you can't put down
After your resurrection
You reigned for forty days - ...

Magdalene and Jesus
Magdalene and Jesus
Magdalene is a dark-haired bride of the carpenter, Jesus, who gazes upon the wailing wall with wonder in her maiden heart.
A gray-bearded man hawks his wares for the worshippers. The smoke from his pipe smells sweet to her in her morning innocence. He sells Jewish Shekel coins from before copper bore Caesar’s image. Jesus is fascinated by them but she needs to taste tamarind and feel its juice drip down her chin. She strolls...

Boundaries of Thought
We as writers should tell the world
about new ideas and evolution
Oh the Christians just flinched a little
but that's too bad, they need to be more open
What should be limited is apprehensive ideas
Anything that degrades us as a species
Child molestation, beastiality, and rape
Inhumanity is the virus killing our spiritualities
Love and eroticism are obvious creations
Allow ideas that go beyond human paradigm
but anything that inspires human destruction
must be stopped in their expression...

Dear Mary Magdalene!
I know you're a woman honest and kind.
I want to ask you some questions, if you don't mind.
They say you had to prostitute yourself to survive.
If that's true, I pity your hard life.
They say you were a sinner, by demons possessed.
But I think you were neither sinful nor obsessed.
Church fathers defended their power with might.
That's why they tried to silence you, am I right?
You played a significant role in Jesus' life.
Were you an apostle or even his wife?
He trusted you secrets not easy to understand
Which you were intuitively...

The Book of Man
A story book their ingenious invention,
written with dishonest intention,
Penned by scribes with trembling quills,
To carve out myths and codify wills,
A patchwork text of borrowed, made up lore,
Bound to man an enthrall, to preach, implore.
Not a single voice divine, nor a holy pen,
But the schemes of greed, domination by power-hungry men.
Written by the minority they cleverly invent,
for the majority their ambitious intent,
Chosen by those who claim divine favor,
A gift to the few, the masses...

Canto 1 The Dark Wood of Error (Stanzas 3-4)
Than that infernal-wood could one’s demise be not far more venomous!
Of what hallowed one can preach,
recounting I will that was unveiled to me by the Lord’s grace.
I scarcely can say how I came about it,
so intoxicated with weariness I was constrained
from the True Way I strayed with ill sense.

Playing God
Infecting every innocent brain, making them fall into sin
Questioning every Christian's faith, making them doubt what they believe
Larking in the deep dark shadows to instill fear
Whispering words of madness to blur what seems clear
Tempting every wicket soul, telling them what they want to hear
Offering my sweet salvation to all those in need
Promising a better tomorrow at a cost of a deal
Who's to deny me?,I dwell inside the weak
Slowly taking away your everything until you have only your soul to give
You're my tool, the world is my garden and...
