Are You There?
Dear God,
it’s me;
where the hell have you been?
don’t mean to bug you -
I can see how busy you are,
watching little girls lose
their innocence
while evil prevails
~but I’m lost, treading water~
and you’re just never around;
they told me if I’d only believe
and confess with my mouth,
you’d come to me
in my time of need;
but you never did,
not once
were you there,
when the endless parade
of men without morals
standing with ego-laced humility,
gripping the edge of podiums ...
it’s me;
where the hell have you been?
don’t mean to bug you -
I can see how busy you are,
watching little girls lose
their innocence
while evil prevails
~but I’m lost, treading water~
and you’re just never around;
they told me if I’d only believe
and confess with my mouth,
you’d come to me
in my time of need;
but you never did,
not once

when the endless parade
of men without morals
standing with ego-laced humility,
gripping the edge of podiums ...

Hum hum hum he hum
Sharp was the pain
As a new dawn is night
Corrupt confusion
Suffering Earths final plight
Silence of dusk
Repetitive waves
Shimmering silver
The jesuits plague
Romulus standing
Alone and shadowed
Remus demanding
The milk
White and sallowed
Venturing north
On a fairy train plane
Yard stick and card trick
Too long a life payed
Gallant the knight
Forever a believer
Trust made of stone
In god
A receiver
Hammering night

Too long a life payed

Bless the independent Thinkers
Not everyone gets it…
...and that's OK...
God...as an omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent being…
*so say the texts...
can do anything God pleases.
...anything...
This includes permitting people to ...think as they please…
to question…
make up their own minds…
...just like you and me…
Everyone has the right to their own ...opinions…
We don't need another Spanish ...Inquisition…
...That's not OK...

Azure Veins
Antlers made of fools gold,
bones, that hang by a string
counted, paying homage to
their immortal god,
Cold air singed by morality
a boiling surge of words
driven, from the mouths of
fiends,
Hearts and minds of gullible
humans who give suck
weaved by designers of
sovereignty
Muted flame textured by
the wind lulls parasitic
tendrils from blind eyes
As harp, whispers liar at
the moon .
They dwell in transparent
reflections, poison hues of
yesterdays flesh ...

[RELENTLESS OVERTURE] ... part 2
(fuckin' religion can eat shit and die)
Yeah
ruthlessly violent
hostilely chaotic
every sort of psychotic
all gifts from God
who is genocidal
and so fuckin' neurotic
k, .. Yeah hoe
and as you know
this deity
who made me
in his image
and I didn’t fall far
from his goddamn tree
and God loves torturing me
so he made me tough
and he made me hard
to lead an army
against these fucking
immortal souls
k, .. Yeah hoe
gotta put these fucks in a hole
so deep and dark ...

United, We Stand
May we stand together in gentle harmony;
As members of the human race,
It’s time to abandon our mental armory,
Amidst this crisis that we face.
With 99.9% genetic similarity,
It’s absurd that we still ostracize;
With our pathetic insularity,
That we can’t seem to compromise.
We’re divided by ethnicity,
And ripped apart by races;
With no sign of our complicity,
But the color of our faces.
We’re divided in our politics,
Pitted as enemies against our brothers;
Instead of embracing similarities,
We see a...

The Towers
The towers are centuries tall
built by hand, block by block
perch on the cliffs equally deep
ready for wayward miscreants
more than souls are there enclosed
also power sits on the throne
ruling masses with a hand
ready with the whip to lash
this status-quo is nearly spent
when multitudes leap to deaths
leaving for the netherrealms
away from dogma's weary quest
holding supplicants in crumbling cells
with doors wide open to prisoners
those who seek to escape
will leave the towers in their wake.

Fever Dream
Fever Dream
In a dream I once dreamt,
My daughter and I
stood watching an old, gnarled tree
set against the fiery setting sun
that bled into a dark grey sky.
Seen in its twisted shape,
A dancer,
A frozen devil,
Its clawed hand held out to her
in an invitation
that no one has ever declined.
Now she's let go of my hand,
The brilliant orange outlining the edges
Of her hair,
Her dress,
Useless to plead, "Don't go,"
When I went myself.
(Everyone does.)
My daughter and I stood...

Para-Trinkets

you must be going places I never been -
Wherever.........
All these paradoxical trinkets don't settle well
in the narrow confines of our monkey'mind(s) -
so be not fooled by cheap, shoddy imitations -
remember, the only recorded incident of Jesus
getting pissed off was when the ;moneylenders were
doing they's thing in whatever temple they was doing it.

Bipolar Personalities
Before the beginning of the end
Was a time where war was the best diplomacy
Thwart your enemies before they can crash you
33 strategies of war
Everyone is your enemy until proven otherwise
Other wise men learnt the strategic value of the night
Knighted warriors and taught them to fight
Invisible like spirits under the clock of the night
When the clock strikes 12, Cinderella,
Take off your shoe and be the lady of the night
Be whatever they want you to be, stroke their different sized egos if need be
And honey when they are weak sting like...
