Watch her as she trembles,
a child of the desert,
eyes like the Oasis of Kadesh
lips parted to the climate
arid, mingled nitrate
praying for freedom
of an open sea
place her on the hay bail
when the night
approaches
and as the dawn comes
and the sun ascends...
Lay her on the pyre
be wary of the sirens,
for her ears are filled
with scarlet
in a land that's plagued
with disease

Mea Culpa
was it my fault?
what did i do?
i was so little
always felt his
anger, tangible
at the surface
as i got older
bits & pieces
were laid bare
on the news
i searched for
clarity, trying to
figure out who
this man is?
the only thing
i know osvaldo
was his name
given name
he's a bottler
a closed book
was he a victim
or a witness or
...an abuser?
my father who
once was a friar
whatever he's ...

Same Tree
Kill each other over our religions
end other lives for what we believe
we've taken men
hung them right up there
for the color of their skin
right up in our tree
that tree we carved our names into
heart with an arrow
shot clean through
hate them for what they believe in
hates us back for the very same
take these guns onto the fields
our blood runs onto its leaves
those leaves that fell so beautifully in autumn
this cool crisp morning won't let us...

A Deadly Town
In a place called Oak Ridge, Woodlands, Texas is the sacred temple...
The sacred place of peace and destruction.
Alia joins the masonic lodge despite what Christians think. Driving a sword.
Non people pleasing serum.
Armageddon has arrived. Stampede from Lion King 1 will happen.
And we all will die

Who Possesses My Soul?
I can't understand this but I'm dead and I'm talking to you right now
Sounds crazy but it's true.
I was lowered into the ground yesterday around noon
My DOD was 3 days prior
What's really strange is that I remember being placed in the coffin
4 carpeted walls surround me
All different walks of religion say the same thing, a beautiful utopia awaits
Well where is it?
No one greeted me at the gates of heaven
Is this Purgatory?
I have not entered a state of peace, tranquility and serenity
Instead, I've been eager, agitated and...

Cancelled From Birth
The Devil stayed on me-so I turned out pretty bad
Punk-bitch old man was never around-so the evil within I just called dad,
“Every time mom dragged me to church I got crazy mad
That’s why every Sunday before and after church she was beating my ass,
“Because my attitude towards religion could be considered a sin
So, Brimstone Boulevard will be my final destination in the motherfuckin end,
“The bullshit lies she told, everyone thought I was possessed in the head
And her fucked up stories from the start was graveyard dead,
...

Eat the Bagel
It was a fulfilling
and tiring morning
I had just left
the local gym
This poem is almost
pointless to read
But stick around and
maybe you'll understand
So I fell fast asleep
and visions arrived
A man in robes
looking so serious
"Please get up now,"
He says calmly
And looking up quickly
I see something
In his left hand
A single bagel
"Go eat one now,"
he says plainly
"Okay," I mumble quietly ...

What's In A Name
You call me Satan
name me Lucifer
make me the Devil
you practice war and pain
so many have been slaughtered
so many more will be slain
oppression and abuse
religion is your excuse
you cower and flee
is this why you created god?
is this why you created me?

Prejudice
Shame when you have to blame a poet for being narrow-minded, self centered, chauvinist,anti-semitic, xénophobe and more to say the least.......... Is he an illiterate person ?
''The poet is a cosmopolitan human being''
It seems that man was not born from Adam and Eve but from different fathers and mothers,some directly from dust and water, their acts are fair, their feelings are human, and their connections are normally interactive, while others, alas ! from gold and precious stones" it's what they blindly think"..
These ones, think they are...

God’s Fingerprint
God’s Fingerprint
On the Sistine, Michaelangelo painted God’s fingered thrust
giving with love the gift of Life to Man fresh from dust.
First breath, beneath the heavens! Second breath, on land and sea!
From then ‘til now, a thrusted finger sculpts Man’s destiny.
Not long ago, Instinct was his primal need and guide
when smells repelled, fires frightened and lightning made him hide
and stars up in the heavens were just punctures in the night
while reflections in the water were the ghosts he could not fight.
Then lightning struck...

Abnoba
In the blue kingdom where the waters dance,
the goddess reigns, with a look that enchants.
Her voice flows like an advancing stream,
echoes deep in the breeze that sings.
With tidal hands she weaves destiny
of creatures that inhabit water.
Her cloak is foam, pure and divine,
In the depths, her secrets stir.
Guardian of the waters, serene goddess,
on his throne of coral and pearl.
Liquid goddess of immense power,
your strength moves the intense ocean.
On the horizon your light shines
guide mortals, who on earth...

Guardian of the waters, serene goddess,
on his throne of coral and pearl.
Liquid goddess of immense power,
your strength moves the intense ocean.
On the horizon your light shines

He Is Exalted (Joseph)
How in the world this.. this lying.. God please forgive me, but she is pregnant and talking about she does not know how
Nine months and I am gonna see her on Maury Povich show talking about I’m gonna be a father now
I know I had too many drinks and my conscious was all up in flight
On the ballroom dance floor, I remember holding her curvy body real tight
And she was smelling good, stunning looking, kinda fly, and she was my Nubian Queen, hell, we that owned that night
Got my friends laughing at me that my wife was creeping around
And I...
