God is real, but he's lazy
I had an interview with God, I said I thought he was a fraud.
Then he sent me back to Earth, and he cursed me for my birth.
So I went to see Satan, he was standing there waiting and his skin was all fiery and red.
I looked in his eyes and asked 'God's just all lies?'
He nodded and in a loud voice he said....
God is real but he's lazy, he's so fucking crazy!
All the prayer he don't care, he just sits there in bliss.
Even when people die, he just dont bat an eye,
Who would have faith in a God such as this?
So I went back to Earth...
Then he sent me back to Earth, and he cursed me for my birth.
So I went to see Satan, he was standing there waiting and his skin was all fiery and red.
I looked in his eyes and asked 'God's just all lies?'
He nodded and in a loud voice he said....
God is real but he's lazy, he's so fucking crazy!
All the prayer he don't care, he just sits there in bliss.
Even when people die, he just dont bat an eye,
Who would have faith in a God such as this?
So I went back to Earth...

One more bottle, and
Something will scatter
O’er rain stained Welsh streets.
Bloody watercolour canvas
Tilts to reservoir skies.
Twilight slips over Hills
As wine sliding down a glass,
At night, mouth of valleys
Suck scree thru’ shortest straw
Eulogia gathers boned carvings:
It is not only the skin to be tattooed.
Moonlight slithers of nacre strips
Ignite your flower-thighs
Up and beyond, pricked blooming.
My bones are softly rattling
To our harmonised breathes.
UMANOID XX

O Swear Not by the Moon, Inconstant Moon – Sonnet Forty-Five
O swear not by the Moon, inconstant Moon,
Though in its black it might seem single light.
For in its bright remains the hidden room
That shadows stars and holds them from our sight.
For Moon shines brightly only in its dark,
Yet pales in skies with brighter circle filled,
So bullies in the nights the paler arcs,
The galaxies and constellations killed.
The Moon contends in envious dispute,
Aspires to Sun, for Sun light brightly brings
The rise of all, except the night’s repute,
That place of darkest Moon’s...
Though in its black it might seem single light.
For in its bright remains the hidden room
That shadows stars and holds them from our sight.
For Moon shines brightly only in its dark,
Yet pales in skies with brighter circle filled,
So bullies in the nights the paler arcs,
The galaxies and constellations killed.
The Moon contends in envious dispute,
Aspires to Sun, for Sun light brightly brings
The rise of all, except the night’s repute,
That place of darkest Moon’s...

Glass stained of marrow
with the oppression
of sin
cast upon her
she reached out
to grasp
the robe of god
to have something
to hold onto
and found
nothing
her faith
thin
and frail
as parchment
aged
by the pyre
her only light
snuffed
by the wax
she finds
a familiar
[dis]comfort
in the darkness
from Sid & Mary (Opal ) Terry Smith

Did We?
(VERSE 1)
Are we listening
to the wakeup call?
Can we save ourselves,
or will we just fall?
(VERSE 2)
Is all kindness gone?
Did love turn to lust?
What do we believe?
Do in green we trust?
(CHORUS)
Did we forget how to dream?
Did we forget how to love?
And when it's time to forgive,
can we let go of the past?
Did we forget how to believe?
Did we? Did we...?
(VERSE 3)
Some predictions say,
this world will be gone,
but I have faith in us.
My hope lingers on.

How strong your faith
Gods word was on the lithograph types face
Jesus born of love and grace
All and sundry welcomed in
For in that loom we were concieved
The lilac spin of warp and weft
Self's bright and beautiful portrayed
And brought up to the lakefront
Baptism splashing from that font
The lampblack of your sin denied
That stain, confession can dissolve
Beliefs luster, you prayed would not subside
For when our creed is swept and blown
Our levee of affirmations sound
For that bedrock was your labour
The shining cross its bright unmellowed ...
Jesus born of love and grace
All and sundry welcomed in
For in that loom we were concieved
The lilac spin of warp and weft
Self's bright and beautiful portrayed
And brought up to the lakefront
Baptism splashing from that font
The lampblack of your sin denied
That stain, confession can dissolve
Beliefs luster, you prayed would not subside
For when our creed is swept and blown
Our levee of affirmations sound
For that bedrock was your labour
The shining cross its bright unmellowed ...

Closer to God, further from Heaven
Closer to God, further from Heaven;
I have faith in you to ruin everything.
Heaven can’t exist if our life is like this;
I have no faith in you, because I live in this abyss.
If you want to make God laugh, then tell H.I.M. your plans;
I condemned him because he made me this man.
My nirvana is out of reach;
I need to feel something, anything.
I’m looking for a reason,
To believe in another Jesus, or a demon,
Or anyone who will lead me to a better future;
To change this life of this life-long loser.
...

Reborn to the Universe
I’m reborn to the Universe,
In a world filled with love & peace.
My parents can talk in reverse,
And I grin without any teeth.
I kick my wee feet and I squeal.
I’m reborn to the Universe,
As everything turns on a wheel.
My parents, like doctor & nurse,
Kiss boo-boos as if to rehearse.
I whimper and go back to sleep,
I’m reborn to the Universe.
Renewing with each faith I leap,
And much that I learn once again
In the multiple lives I traverse,
Revealing...
In a world filled with love & peace.
My parents can talk in reverse,
And I grin without any teeth.
I kick my wee feet and I squeal.
I’m reborn to the Universe,
As everything turns on a wheel.
My parents, like doctor & nurse,
Kiss boo-boos as if to rehearse.
I whimper and go back to sleep,
I’m reborn to the Universe.
Renewing with each faith I leap,
And much that I learn once again
In the multiple lives I traverse,
Revealing...

In My World
In my world there are many tears
Morning, noon and night
Being alone, so many fears
In the dark and in the light.
Which direction do I take?
A compass I need for my heart
Not knowing which turn to make
From the beginning in which I start.
In my world, it's hard to comprehend
Ideas, thoughts, future decisions
All my own, no one's time to spend
I cannot lean on my own understanding but seeking God is my life's mission.
My plan is to start each day
Trusting in my Lord
Wallowing not on memories of yesterday ...
Morning, noon and night
Being alone, so many fears
In the dark and in the light.
Which direction do I take?
A compass I need for my heart
Not knowing which turn to make
From the beginning in which I start.
In my world, it's hard to comprehend
Ideas, thoughts, future decisions
All my own, no one's time to spend
I cannot lean on my own understanding but seeking God is my life's mission.
My plan is to start each day
Trusting in my Lord
Wallowing not on memories of yesterday ...

Nanna Flo
I had a realisation today
Just because you’re gone don’t mean you went away
Your final resting place could not contain your burning flame
And now I feel you every single day
I laughed it off before
“That’s just insane” I thought
But since I saw the signs
I don’t think that anymore
Your daughter’s daughter taught me much about what’s out that door
But your silent guidance taught me even more
I never felt your warmth before you had to leave
But now I pay attention to your whispers in the breeze
The rustle of the leaves...
Just because you’re gone don’t mean you went away
Your final resting place could not contain your burning flame
And now I feel you every single day
I laughed it off before
“That’s just insane” I thought
But since I saw the signs
I don’t think that anymore
Your daughter’s daughter taught me much about what’s out that door
But your silent guidance taught me even more
I never felt your warmth before you had to leave
But now I pay attention to your whispers in the breeze
The rustle of the leaves...

Unfailing to me
Unconditionally mine
Love like no other.

Emery, Annoyed
by a credit card
wielding mother obsessed
with having things
to fill the stomach rumblings
of void in daily existence
would seek otherwise;
his sixth sense deployed
exploring what lies beyond
her lifeless doll eyes
antique looking glasses
or the idled hands of
rationalistic asses -
though found more than
he bargained for; $7,000
not nearly worth a weekend
stay in Seattle's famous haunted
mansion
nor was the four finger discount
he received ...
