Nature and love
When a male meets a female and sweet music appears
In the animal world, a jaguar couple stays together for days
but as the mother feels to the sense of motherhood the male leaves
his job is done, and he climbs up his lonely tree.
And it is nature´s way.
Something similar should happen and often, is when a couple
have had a few offspring and the father has brought the bacon home
he has become superfluous.
He is jealous of his sons feels sexually attracted to his daughters,
and fatherly love is an abstraction. The mother...

The River Gorge
With the roar of a mighty lion
Ripping through her ebon bone,
You can hear the river cryin’
From great gorges etched in stone.
The scars upon her surface,
Carved by waters running red;
Through her scarlet epidermis,
By the mighty riverbed.
As harsh weather and erosion
Transform the rock back into sand;
With the sound of an explosion
By which many fishes swam.
Churning into motion, dust
From the rusty-colored land;
Returning to the ocean cusp,
From which it once began.
Ripping through her ebon bone,
You can hear the river cryin’
From great gorges etched in stone.
The scars upon her surface,
Carved by waters running red;
Through her scarlet epidermis,
By the mighty riverbed.
As harsh weather and erosion
Transform the rock back into sand;
With the sound of an explosion
By which many fishes swam.
Churning into motion, dust
From the rusty-colored land;
Returning to the ocean cusp,
From which it once began.

Nature's Call
A lion would never ask for help even when in need of it
A very different perspective that speaks to so much whether seen or unseen
The nature of the beast is also its folly
The voice that pierces through these words placing them close to our reach
As people even with the spirit of lions the nature of community can not be escaped
The deeply observant eye that allows this place to be reached so clearly in the mind
Together we rise and fall
Whatever happens happens regardless of how someone may feel
A very different perspective that speaks to so much whether seen or unseen
The nature of the beast is also its folly
The voice that pierces through these words placing them close to our reach
As people even with the spirit of lions the nature of community can not be escaped
The deeply observant eye that allows this place to be reached so clearly in the mind
Together we rise and fall
Whatever happens happens regardless of how someone may feel

To the beat of the drum
Walk and talk
Against the wall
That we piss on
For naked truth
Red raw request
Never say die
The real conquest
Grunge ways to
The after math.
A million poppies
They are due
For the spirit
Of angels is calling
The calling
Walk to the beat
And your falling
Falling into his heart
I say lord now have me
Drink the blood of Jesus
Sing sing sing
Shot for mercy
Love rests
Holy treaty
The land of Oz
Been thinking lately
A hill of water
lions affair
Come say the angels ...
Against the wall
That we piss on
For naked truth
Red raw request
Never say die
The real conquest
Grunge ways to
The after math.
A million poppies
They are due
For the spirit
Of angels is calling
The calling
Walk to the beat
And your falling
Falling into his heart
I say lord now have me
Drink the blood of Jesus
Sing sing sing
Shot for mercy
Love rests
Holy treaty
The land of Oz
Been thinking lately
A hill of water
lions affair
Come say the angels ...

Strewn along the path
Lion's teeth lie unheeded
A wild man's fair boon

Pride
A hunter prides his trophy kill,
While mother nature mourns a loss.
He selfishly fulfills his thrill,
At another creature’s cost.
How very tough, you are,
Killing in the name of fun!
A lion never stood a chance
Against a semi-automatic gun.
And then you have the gall
To mount its head upon your wall,
To glorify your ignorance—
I'm horrified and appalled.
You’ll make your lion rugs,
While you rape the lion cubs
Of a home they’ll never have,
And a mother’s lion love.
Celebrating...

To glorify your ignorance—

And a mother’s lion love.

The Last Lion
The lion roams the plains
On the prowl, he shows no fear
He is the hunter
Or so it would appear
He's spotted his prey
And moves in to attack
He fails to hear the sound
Of a rifle cocking back
The lion strikes
And makes his kill fast
He thinks the jobs done
But the feeling won't last
He starts eating his catch
But the lion's soon stopped
A quick pull of the trigger
And the lions now dropped
A couple emerge from the bushes
They'd been hiding in cover
They kiss in celebration ...
On the prowl, he shows no fear
He is the hunter
Or so it would appear
He's spotted his prey
And moves in to attack
He fails to hear the sound
Of a rifle cocking back
The lion strikes
And makes his kill fast
He thinks the jobs done
But the feeling won't last
He starts eating his catch
But the lion's soon stopped
A quick pull of the trigger
And the lions now dropped
A couple emerge from the bushes
They'd been hiding in cover
They kiss in celebration ...

sport hunting
Hunting for sport
It is hard to be a little fox
They have many natural enemies in the forest
Where they live in the hole of an uprooted tree
They have no umbrella for when it rains
No sofa and a TV, but they do have a loving mother
That tries to protect them till adulthood.
Now men on horseback and howling dogs try
To kill them for sport.
Who are these unsightly people chasing a fox?
Till it can run no more and is torn to pieces by
“Man’s best friend “
For this sport, the hunters dress in a red coat
At the table boat...

The Chase
He eyes his prey in the tall hot grass,
Quietly absorbing every move from a safe distance.
But I hide behind a building watching her go to lunch,
Nervously excited,admiring my new desire.
This kill was one of many, Mother Natures law,
Easy pickings from his victims, a beast with a mission
I watch her , I want her, I need her,
But she doesn’t know I’m here.
Closer he gets to his meal of the day,
Smelling the scent of his next prey
The chase is on.
Quietly absorbing every move from a safe distance.
But I hide behind a building watching her go to lunch,
Nervously excited,admiring my new desire.
This kill was one of many, Mother Natures law,
Easy pickings from his victims, a beast with a mission
I watch her , I want her, I need her,
But she doesn’t know I’m here.
Closer he gets to his meal of the day,
Smelling the scent of his next prey
The chase is on.

GOD AS THE FIRST DARWINIST (Genesis 1)
In Genesis chapter one God presents Himself as a DARWINIST.
For Darwin said that Nature created life (the great variety of species) thru "Natural Selection".
Well God in Genesis One says something similar.
According to verse 20, "God said, 'Let the waters BRING FORTH the moving creatures that have life..'"
Then verse 24 continues,"Let the earth bring forth the living creatures.."
Now if we take "the waters" and "the earth" together, they add up to NATURE.
So God the Creator is turning the work of creating life and all the species over Nature !! ...
