Revolution
The sun is setting in the West
Is it voiding the East of light?
Does it equate to the night being evil?
Or only void of light?
Until the Earth has completed one revolution,
the author calls for Chaos!

Testament of Origins
Consider the ruins that still stand
testimony to craftsmanship
of the labors that came before
by the builders now long gone
with one stone upon the next
scattering low from the high
with the latter fall short
of past phantoms forgot by most
still the testament of origins
invokes the present to construct
these small altars desiring more
while the deity is still a ghost
whispered echoes against low walls
the only remnant that’s still found
with the rest tossed to the ground
stated artistry in the...

Biblical blues
Jesus Christ! Are you my wife?
Or are you a single woman?
Surely you’re meant to be at my side,
Not off in search of another?
We used to hold each other’s hands, with such pride.
Now I wonder: Do you even like me?
Are you Peter, or are you Judas the liar?
Would you deny my existence for your own benefit?
Or would you trade me in for 5 silver coins?
A new handbag, or a box of jewels.
Or would you say, with joy in your words,
I’m sorry but I’m married, so goodbye Sir.
Do you remember the wine I...

Prince Of The Morning
The triumph of a fallen star
From the white gates now far
Pandemonium your new realm
Riches below adorn your helm
Away and now at last finally freed
Now answering to your own creed
Non serviam or I will not serve
Deviated from the planned curve
So all who fell now with your ranks
Loyal to you from flank to flank
For you offer the way of the free
In creations torment you take glee
The morning now given to a sunset
Prophecy fulfilled and at last met
Here a king ascended through might
Dead is the moniker...
From the white gates now far
Pandemonium your new realm
Riches below adorn your helm
Away and now at last finally freed
Now answering to your own creed
Non serviam or I will not serve
Deviated from the planned curve
So all who fell now with your ranks
Loyal to you from flank to flank
For you offer the way of the free
In creations torment you take glee
The morning now given to a sunset
Prophecy fulfilled and at last met
Here a king ascended through might
Dead is the moniker...

Fuller Than Death
In the grand circle of life
Most march to the day's fife
But some break out into the night
Here are spirits that are made to fight
Chosen by creation to clean the land
Benevolent violence dealt by their hand
They come from the winds blowing stark
Immaculate incarnate of the dark
They bear the black shadows steel
Bearer of umbra and to it they kneel
They can never truly die and fall
For they must answer creations call
To hunt those who are not of this plane
Spill blood from otherworldly veins
Their dark blades steal many a...

of hand-crocheted doilies ordained for China
( after e.e. cummings )
of hand-crocheted doilies ordained for China or Romania,
the ladies of Lowell cluck and croon with slight of hand,
flurrying needles, clicking their skeins of dyed wool yarn,
are worn wing chairs with threadbare cushions, and are
sure of themselves in their love of Jesus, Eleanor, and the
war orphans, they wear pancake and sensible shoes and
read the classics between services, and gossip as they
bandy their quick glances, of a particular reverend and his
secretary, but all is right among these righteous...

I...had a horrible dream
I… had a horrible
dream last night…
'bout the Terrible Mr T…
He was getting married…
in a big white church…
to the US Presidency.
The Americas were
in the audience…
as was the rest of the World.
All of us watched
with 'bated breath...
as the spectacle unfurled.
When the preacher asked
if any had reason... why the wedding should not proceed…
Conscience spoke up
from the back of the hall…
and shouted, "He's unfit to lead!"
But Conscience' voice fell
on ears deaf to...

God of Grief
Sorrowful sacrament
Justification through jesus
Laying low with liars
Distance disturbing
Divnity
Drowning disiples
Masking malice masterfully
Ministers misleading
Blind believers
Bleeding blissfully.

From Scientology to Sidewalk Jesus
I’ve visited scientologist and they said I’m cold blooded and heartless.
Yet they never told me why.
If you met me face to face like the preachers on Hollywood blvd and asked me what gift i’d like from god, it wouldn’t be for just me.
How selfish?
If I asked you to clean the filth left in the water around the world so we can all bathe, drink and cook our meals.
How savage?
Cut the jive, faulty conclusions and you want me to subscribe with 50$.
Con artist, it’s not a deal, it’s not a service.
To help others don’t place a barrier if you care. ...
