Hari Krishna Festival
Means free vegan food
My wandering shoes create a wake
Of athletic atheism
For starry-eyed God mongers
Reciting mind-numbing munchies
For floating zombies of Narnia
But the moon-faced Haitians smile

the Blood of My Soul
My finger was cut and I saw my blood dripping into a pool
I knew my blood was real, no more a mystery
I was warned, old to be careful, but how was I to know
Blood was just a word painted red in my head
I did not believe the truth I could not see
But now I know and I know seeing is not believing
Seeing imparted knowledge of the red liquid flowing within me
My flesh was opened by a lightning bolt one bright and sunny day
But only one tiny drop of red blood seeped out
Still there was a pool of light gathering beside my wound
As the thunder...
I knew my blood was real, no more a mystery
I was warned, old to be careful, but how was I to know
Blood was just a word painted red in my head
I did not believe the truth I could not see
But now I know and I know seeing is not believing
Seeing imparted knowledge of the red liquid flowing within me
My flesh was opened by a lightning bolt one bright and sunny day
But only one tiny drop of red blood seeped out
Still there was a pool of light gathering beside my wound
As the thunder...

Spiritual Battle
heavenly beings
holy ones rose to defend
the kingdom of God
against the dragon
and his fallen followers
all were defeated
place in heaven gone
together they were thrown down
forever earth bound
holy ones rose to defend
the kingdom of God
against the dragon
and his fallen followers
all were defeated
place in heaven gone
together they were thrown down
forever earth bound

Where Are You
Where are you O God
Whose back has been turned
for I am looking
But I do not see your face
I am seeking
But I cannot find your presence
Where are you O God
Where are you O God
Whose back has been turned
For I am waiting to hear you speak
But I do not notice a sound
I am listening for your voice
But I do not recognize your word
Where are you O God
Where are you my dear child
For all I see is your back
Turn to me
So that you may see my face
And you may hear my word
The sight of your eyes...
Whose back has been turned
for I am looking
But I do not see your face
I am seeking
But I cannot find your presence
Where are you O God
Where are you O God
Whose back has been turned
For I am waiting to hear you speak
But I do not notice a sound
I am listening for your voice
But I do not recognize your word
Where are you O God
Where are you my dear child
For all I see is your back
Turn to me
So that you may see my face
And you may hear my word
The sight of your eyes...

Revelation 17:9
a voice comes over the radio
“If you think you can survive until December,
Angels kill, then devour!”
violet eyes
cold steel revolvers
blood decorated
all her flowers
“Angels kill, then devour!”
out from under
the fiery ashes
the sound of their
boots keep marching
hidden undercover
of friendly fire
“Angels kill, then devour!”
in the center of the sky
a nightingale screams
and falls to earth forever
seven mountains mourn
down to its marrow
...

Middle of a Party
I stand in the middle of a party.
There are many people mad right now.
All night, they scream in each other's faces deciphering who has the higher ground.
But no one is listening.
They don't want to hear what the other has to say.
They don't care how it makes them feel.
What they want is for me to choose between them.
Red offers freedom and protection.
I step over the line.
I'm greeted with familiarity, camo and firearms.
I feel at home.
Suddenly, I feel as though I don't belong.
The way they refuse to acknowledge anything...

Is It?
Is it a he?
Is it a she?
Is it a manmade entity?
What do you believe?
Is it a she?
Is it a manmade entity?
What do you believe?

The dividends of man
Thus I utmost implore,
the equivocation of an unhinged door,
said in poetic form to be metered in verse,
a lesson learned by those subdued,
divine in his providence shall always be heard,
the calls of the birds a natures tool,
to resent the offering of man's contour,
from his confluence in evolution,
advancing connoisseur,
be at one with the creation of thy holy,
could only succumb to wrong.

Love Divine on Christmas
More so,
Than the ornate mantel
over the roaring fireplace.
Even more so,
than unwrapping gifts
before your open hearth -
was that divine gleam
within your eye,
I love you for it.
Than the ornate mantel
over the roaring fireplace.
Even more so,
than unwrapping gifts
before your open hearth -
was that divine gleam
within your eye,
I love you for it.
