LET THERE BE LIGHT
You’ve been sitting in the dark
For quite some time
Awaiting for answers
Lost in confusion
Wondering and wandering
Afraid of the future
Terrified for eternity
Hearing echoes of the past
Re-living events of yesterday
Unable to move forward into tomorrow
Uncertain are the steps you take today
Valley Shadows haunting you
You need a Savior
You need salvation
A touch of the Creator’s hands
All darkness expels.
And the Midnight Black veil of the sky above you
Splits in two
When His voice bangs against...

Nobody, Nothing, Nowhere
He walks down the street at night
takes his hand
missing the pinkie and several more
“Look for truth and there you’ll see
the missing half of what you’re meant to be.”
I will never be what I could have been
praying to a god who only sees my sins
she says she loves me and sticks the needle into my neck
My words pouring out my mouth like black vomit
to feed my new obsession
She
takes his hand
missing the pinkie and several more
“Look for truth and there you’ll see
the missing half of what you’re meant to be.”
I will never be what I could have been
praying to a god who only sees my sins
she says she loves me and sticks the needle into my neck
My words pouring out my mouth like black vomit
to feed my new obsession
She

The way you're going
Your parents have an issue and you live in constant pain
Your atmosphere is darkness as you begin to go insane
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
You hear the words of wisdom as you practice what you tell
You follow your parents teachings, as they threaten you to hell
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
My advice to you, is to follow what's in your heart
For if you don't, you'll be finished before you ever start
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
Your atmosphere is darkness as you begin to go insane
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
You hear the words of wisdom as you practice what you tell
You follow your parents teachings, as they threaten you to hell
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
My advice to you, is to follow what's in your heart
For if you don't, you'll be finished before you ever start
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same

I Pity
Both sides killing each other
They both deserve to die
Since both do not bother
To stop and wonder why
Why is blood spilled each day
For handful meaningless sands
When killing can stop today
And extend peaceful hands
They kill in the name of Right
Blind in the nature of Gods
Thinking they know the light
An illusional psychotic frauds
Any such god would denounce
What is in his name is done
Yet they kill and announce
What they did is for the...

Zealot_
My friend the Zealot
shot me with a pellet
angry as I didn't bow my head just right
during this implosion
and the batteries corrosion
we couldn't read the gospel
cause hell I didn't have the light
so I asked the pastor
after this disaster
how do you get the cathedral to shine so bright
he looked me in the eye
said it would be fine
a tithe they would collect
to commit...

RALLY THE DAMNED (a short story)
Ultimately there were only 180,000 glorified believers inside God's kingdom, most of them politically conservative Fundamentalist Christians of one variety or another.
No Jews. No Catholics. No liberals or gays.
All of them, along with all the other nonbelievers and wrong believers who had the misfortune of being born after the first Christmas, had been funneled into Gehenna, and their blistered flesh glowed like the tips of a trillion cigarettes in the great, black void of eternity.
Pope John Paul, Adolf Hitler, Gandhi, Walt Disney, Rock Hudson,...

Gates of Understanding
Yon dark gate, where stars doth brightly gleam
We tread the path of shadow, light unseen
The heavens wide, where spheres of wisdom sing
Doth call us forth to learn the hidden thing
Oh, whither goest thou, who seeketh sight
To pierce the veil ‘twixt dark and burning light?
The cosmos vast, with voices ever still
Doth whisper truths unto the seeking will
By aeon’s breath, by sacred flame enshrined
We seek the gnosis, secrets of the mind
Gates of thought, where matter doth not reign
The silent soul its ancient lore doth gain ...
We tread the path of shadow, light unseen
The heavens wide, where spheres of wisdom sing
Doth call us forth to learn the hidden thing
Oh, whither goest thou, who seeketh sight
To pierce the veil ‘twixt dark and burning light?
The cosmos vast, with voices ever still
Doth whisper truths unto the seeking will
By aeon’s breath, by sacred flame enshrined

lies lost American
lies lost American
Walk barefoot into the Church
I wear sins of mankind like a thorn of crowns
My clothes are torn and tattered
But you allow me entry
I’m from somewhere far from here
My family is hungry so I want work for them
Jesus tells me lay your sins upon me
Starving at home so I send what I can
See Richness’s of America in me
The land of the free that’s what we know
But there’s stones in front of me and I can’t see
Water rising trying to keep my head...

I have to tell you
Promise the primates eternal life
watch them sacrifice their young to prove it
take the bamboo and beat them to death
the ones who've not been affirmed
climb down from the trees
look up to the sky
as the clouds surrounds the masses
pick one to send to the lightning
the storm has cleared
as the sun bursts into morning
leave the body to rot for our exposure
clinging to words made in bronze
waiting for a prophecy to be fulfilled
I have to tell you
I think I'll pass
watch them sacrifice their young to prove it
take the bamboo and beat them to death
the ones who've not been affirmed
climb down from the trees
look up to the sky
as the clouds surrounds the masses
pick one to send to the lightning
the storm has cleared
as the sun bursts into morning
leave the body to rot for our exposure
clinging to words made in bronze
waiting for a prophecy to be fulfilled
I have to tell you
I think I'll pass

Hermetic Breakdown (collaboration with AfterSexDilemma)
Here I sit alone and broken
My owner is annoyed
Windows won't even open
I lay dormant here, stranded in a church parking lot
Jesus won't help me
The ignition clicks, the engine is shot
Maybe it's time to meet that junk pile in the sky
If I had wings, I'd surely learn how to fly
Inside I die.
A slow demise.
A stuttered stop.
My purpose was forgot.
My owners empathy is unwise.
My detriment is no surprise.
The church is an empty lot.
There's no god that I've got.
Just brutal sun skies.
Scrutinizing...
My owner is annoyed
Windows won't even open
I lay dormant here, stranded in a church parking lot
Jesus won't help me

Maybe it's time to meet that junk pile in the sky
If I had wings, I'd surely learn how to fly
Inside I die.
A slow demise.
A stuttered stop.
My purpose was forgot.
My owners empathy is unwise.
My detriment is no surprise.

YOU WERE CHOSEN
Here we are in this mixture of that we have to learn, yet how do we get here in the here and now. For sure sometimes we have to ask thyself, what really would you rather have in your life, to live in a different stages of what is happening in the very here and now. But yet let's take a moment to really analyze, the truth of the present situations that we are facing in our lives. For sure there is something, more powerful than man. For GOD gives his strongest soldiers no more than they can stand, but yet it's here in this space and time, that more than every we have to learn to understand...

Godspeed
If we’re all here and happening
Cells contracting
Souls reacting
Can we be
Any less
Than ourselves?
If I’m here, and you’re out there
Without a woe
Or a care
Then do you dare
To ask
What you are?
I’m a man
And the myth
Lost in space
Lost adrift
Adrift the seas
And mysteries
Of the whole world
I am both
Man AND immortal
Lest we chortle.
I speak the truth
With these words
And my spells
I’ll tie you up
Dress you down ...

If I’m here, and you’re out there
Without a woe
Or a care
Then do you dare
To ask
What you are?
I’m a man
And the myth
Lost in space
Lost adrift
Adrift the seas
And mysteries
Of the whole world
I am both
Man AND immortal
Lest we chortle.
I speak the truth
With these words
And my spells
I’ll tie you up
Dress you down ...
