UNHoly (pt II and III of IV)
PROEM
Still, to this day, there's no substantial role women play in the church's hierarchy.
The Bible is a white male-creation, white male-centered, white male-guided, white male written and taught text, handed down for centuries, which is long on fantasy--short on history.
Will explore that and the moral paralysis the Christian Conscience places on sex and sexuality in Parts II & III of IV of UNHoly.
Part II "UNForgiving"
Free Fall
In philosophy there is a term “all possible worlds”-that means essentially, to take...

God is real, but he's lazy
I had an interview with God, I said I thought he was a fraud.
Then he sent me back to Earth, and he cursed me for my birth.
So I went to see Satan, he was standing there waiting and his skin was all fiery and red.
I looked in his eyes and asked 'God's just all lies?'
He nodded and in a loud voice he said....
God is real but he's lazy, he's so fucking crazy!
All the prayer he don't care, he just sits there in bliss.
Even when people die, he just dont bat an eye,
Who would have faith in a God such as this?
So I went back to Earth...
Then he sent me back to Earth, and he cursed me for my birth.
So I went to see Satan, he was standing there waiting and his skin was all fiery and red.
I looked in his eyes and asked 'God's just all lies?'
He nodded and in a loud voice he said....
God is real but he's lazy, he's so fucking crazy!
All the prayer he don't care, he just sits there in bliss.
Even when people die, he just dont bat an eye,
Who would have faith in a God such as this?
So I went back to Earth...

I've seen the future
I've known the truth, since the day my eyes were opened,
That this world is amazing, yet equally frightening.
Since I saw Michael Jackson, dancing on The Soul Train TV Show.
Since I saw E.T. die, because he couldn't phone home.
Since I saw Neil Armstrong, land on the moon.
Since I saw Uri Geller getting paid, to simply bend spoons.
The truth will set you free. Your ignorance will blind you.
If you’re lost in the darkness, his light will guide you.
All my young life, I believed what I was shown,
Until my life scarred me and now I...

Love is my religion
Love is my religion;
It asks for no more.
It is what it is;
Nothing is for sure.
It may not exist,
But imagine if it did!
You could be my Queen and I your King
And in a different dimension,
This joke could become serious thinking.
Thinking about love;
Ah the delusions.
Another delirious fool painting illusions.
Surely there is no such a thing as love at first sight?
That would not be right.
It’s right where you stand, where you are, what you see.
I am here, all yours, if you want me.
...
It asks for no more.
It is what it is;
Nothing is for sure.
It may not exist,
But imagine if it did!
You could be my Queen and I your King
And in a different dimension,
This joke could become serious thinking.
Thinking about love;
Ah the delusions.
Another delirious fool painting illusions.
Surely there is no such a thing as love at first sight?
That would not be right.
It’s right where you stand, where you are, what you see.
I am here, all yours, if you want me.

Holy War
Allegorical tales are casting spells about a heaven or a hell
Causing disputes amongst the troops whose lives are for sell
Like retail from the mall they're all being consumed
An appetite for destruction is leading to their tombs
Kaboom is the sound of the bombs bursting in the air
Innocence being lost as they fall but the leaders don't care
It's clear that accumulation of wealth trumps human lives
Revelations broadcasting on every station like Fox Five
Many close their eyes to the misery and suffering of others
If...

finding religion
As she prepares
to handle
her scandal
she agrees
to do me
this solid:
If I ever have dementia
she will come
to where I am
and smother me
with those
gigantic titties
“until you go to Jesus”
A blessing, I told her
“but please,”
I implored,
“do not forget
to baptize me
with the Guadalupe
between your legs”
“I’ll do that first,”
she said
I’M GOING TO HEAVEN!
~this one is for inkerpoet, who infuriates me with just how rude...

God is Great
Only God’s love can touch the heart of man
Can change his life, he will never be the same
His love can take away all pain
No one but God can make him whole again
He loves the world, He gave His Son
Who else would do it, except the Holy One
No one has this kind of love
Only the Father up above
Jesus suffered and went to the grave
So all sinners could be save
His love reaches out to all of you
He wants you to love Him too
It was love when He went to the cross
He looked on the world, saw it was...
Can change his life, he will never be the same
His love can take away all pain
No one but God can make him whole again
He loves the world, He gave His Son
Who else would do it, except the Holy One
No one has this kind of love
Only the Father up above
Jesus suffered and went to the grave
So all sinners could be save
His love reaches out to all of you
He wants you to love Him too
It was love when He went to the cross
He looked on the world, saw it was...

Culinary School Lessons for Life
Sweet Sixteen in 1994, what a cosmic joke
I was a girl in worlds that hated my existence
Especially two white-pride boys, top of school society
We all went to school together, then vo-tech
I was far more intelligent, strike one for me
A girl who didn’t fall for their charm, strike two
Semitic in a world of Aryans, strike three
The first two strikes were easily evaded
But the last one nearly cost me my life twice
Sixteen and studying to be a chef
Girl in a man’s world, already despised
Bad enough I saw them in academics ...

Madness Gained
The chosen seek to elevate
themselves above the tainted crowd
with intent to safely flee
where the narrow trails may finally lead
into realms with thin air
shared by clouds that obscure
the mist hiding mortal souls
from rapport of those below.
this escapes asks a price
denying sanity after a spell
spun by tomes of ancient source
wisdom lost for dogma sought
in the end blindness reigns
only seeing their like kind
even while the eyes discern
fault outside the clan’s four walls.
it’s not...
