A Fight On Yom Kippur
One other incident sticks in my mind. It happened on Yom Kippur, the most solemn day of the Jewish Year. Yom Kippur falls in September or October, its exact timing determined by the lunar calendar.
The Central Synagogue (or Shul) was packed and hot that particular day. The caretaker, a non-Jew, came in at regular intervals with a fragranced water spray to freshen the air to prevent people from fainting from the heat or ongoing hunger. In the background, less devout men discussed food or football while the Chazzan (or Cantor) continued to chant away on the Bimah (platform). ...

Cinematic Demon
Burning alive in a metaphorical catechism
Learning to lie in a allegorical masochism
A spider soul enrolled
In the web of the golden dark
Caught here and consoled
In thee occultic hidden arts
This is silence seeking gossip
A prison under fire
It's a lashing with your tongue
Under siege I will acquire
The purifier of everything
This moon is under sun
A cryptic writing saying
You are the chosen one
A sefirot secret in the number eleven ...

Untitled
My love for her transcends beyond the boundaries of a mother/daughter relationship.
She has endured such hardship, so much loss and suffering, that I couldn't believe a god would exist.
I've never told her it's why I am an atheist.

Noah's Ark
Noah's Ark
To be found
In the US Mid West
Dinausors inclusive
Though, as per Creationists
The world is but
Six thousand years old
And flat on top of that
While dinausors had been
Around and eliminated
Way before (one theory
Of extinction or another)
Did it also perhaps have
On board north american buffaloes?
A land unknown at the time...
Faith goes one way
Truth and science quite
Another.

Puppeteer
Is it just me,
Is this life just a joke?
An imaginary illusion
All mirrors and smoke
“Trick them I will
Let them think, feel and see
Believe in a greater purpose
How naïve they can be”
Am I fool here on earth
A mere puppet with strings
Hanging here waiting
For the masters next fling
Today you’ll feel love
Tomorrow it’s sorrow
Yesterday was sanity
Master decided to borrow
Sway over that way
Move in that direction
Is it really our choice
Or are we just a...

Can't feel God
I let the Devil take hold of me again
I gave him an inch
And he took a mile
He got in my head
And took my smile
Insides burn with
Embarrassment and regret
It's happened before
You'd think I wouldn't forget
I can't feel God
Through paranoia and fear
A desolate situation
Where no solutions are clear
Feel like ending it all
To get rid of my guilt
I've destroyed everything
That I've ever built
That's the Devil talkin'
He's always very near
And the line that divides us

Gospel Music
Gospel Music is fantastic music because it praises God.
When it comes to Gospel Music, it's something to applaud.
Anything is good if it praises the Lord.
When it comes to God, he should be adored.
Gospel Music is incredible music and that's a fact.
It's awesome and that's a statement I won't retract.

Interesting Times
We live in interesting times when it comes to rhymes.
I can say what I want but never mind.
I went a little insane when I lost my love life,
But like I said…Interesting times.
You can never be bored when dancing with the Devil.
Being so close to natural born evil.
Free the people for the people.
Always on the level when talking of my steeple.
Never had an ego that you could quash.
Don’t love myself, or you, or God.
Raised on love, brainwashed into believing.
Now all I have is endless dreaming.
...

Pythian Priestess
Pythian Priestess
On my first visit to the oracle of Gaia, my quest is for a spiritual guide to fill the role of earth- mother for me, a lyceum-age lad in need of guidance and discipline from a prophetess in the art of setting young men straight. My second chance to grow up comes under a capable Pythian Priestess well versed at divining the rods of young men. She is a strawberry-tressed priestess whose smoky mezzo timbre gives me a natural high and I instantly trust her.
Amber invites me to join her religion of Delphic desire. Amber awakens me to my need for a touch of...

Beautiful Planet
A beautiful planet, blue and green
attracted envy of a crew
of scaly aliens, rarely seen
They chose some special gofers too
to carry out their evil plan
and charmed them as their favoured crew
They said as gods, the soul of Man
belongs to us - we shall enforce
compliance with our evil plan
So narratives were primed in morse
to infiltrate unguarded minds
by using lies…, deception…, force
Yet love is marked by acting kind
confirms a truth “all shall be well”
and calms the lost unguarded mind
...

Charlatans
(Radix malorum est cupiditas)
For the love of money…
Men have sold their souls
Men have told lies to reach their goals
For riches and fame
To cheat at the game
Men fight to have
More money
More power
And with it,
More control
But what’s even more appalling
Is that some will say they have a calling
From the Almighty…
(Dollar)
And they will holler
From the pulpit saying the most high
Has commanded they live with wealth
See the gospel of prosperity is a pyramid scheme ...
