Love letter to my church
From this pit of frustration
I cry out
Will no one join me?
Does nobody see what I see?
Such a sweet loving family
of navel-gazing sinner/saints
imploding into
comfortable
apathy.
The King has left this building.
He's out hob-nobbing
with the desperate --
those who are so empty
of answers and self
that they actually have room to receive love.
No, not that saccharine-starry love

What Do I Believe In
Do you believe in God," I was asked.
It's a complicated issue.
The easy answer is I'm an agnostic. But that's so vague. It doesn't tell what I do believe in.
I believe in possibilities. While it's possible that God exists, it's also possible he doesn't.
In the movie version of 'Angels and Demons', Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) says, "Faith is a gift I've yet to receive." It's the best way I've found to describe it.
Einstein is credited with saying, "There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as...

Religious Exemption
should religious freedom
be equal to one’s
freedom from religion?
should government give privileges to
religious organizations that are denied to nonreligious citizens
who contribute taxes for the common cause?
(taxes that provide roads dams bridges
defense police fire and health services)
should religious
organizations be exempt from taxes
that provide benefits to them?
why should seculars provide
benefits
to the religious exempt?
should the religious exempt
be exempt from the benefits ...

freedom from religion?

Ashamed
God I feel ashamed, I tainted your name
After everything you did, Lord I can’t change
You gave your blood, you died for me
I don’t deserve your love but you still give it to me
All I’m asking for is your mercy
I just pray you watch over me
As I lay me down to sleep
I pray to the Lord my soul to keep
At the end of the day I’m crackin’
I just hope it’s not too late for me
I feel your blood on my satin sheets
It’s 2020 and I done lost all my faith you see
But I can’t take no more, I’m coming back
What I lack in the book, I pack in...
After everything you did, Lord I can’t change
You gave your blood, you died for me
I don’t deserve your love but you still give it to me
All I’m asking for is your mercy
I just pray you watch over me
As I lay me down to sleep
I pray to the Lord my soul to keep
At the end of the day I’m crackin’
I just hope it’s not too late for me
I feel your blood on my satin sheets
It’s 2020 and I done lost all my faith you see

Sacred blood
In the gray sand he was one rock
Cut from a long extinct genetic stock
He alone had tasted the world's taint
Risen from martyr to the bloodied saint
Here he was tasting betrayal and death
Acidic prayers escaping his ragged breath
Against him stood the once noble horde
All he had was his faith and his steel sword
Fire raged in his once steadfast head
He knew here in time he would lay dead
So he readied his chosen stance
Ready to once more choose deaths dance
Here was his privilege to finally go and die
But first against...

Blasphemous
Bled out.
Life left me, time to head for check out.
Can’t shout.
Wife left me, no doubt she took the same route.
Nothing but strangers in this crowd...
Red pools reflecting clouds and planes.
Another insane out-of-bloody experience.
Mudded by heavy rains.
Speeding through these crowded lanes thus ending up with empty veins.
No eyes on the dash cause we’re all out of brains.
Wait, read that again for me.
Yeah, out of brains most literally.
Help me after the fact. Help me please.
Put my spirit back...

Where were you
I’ve always wondered where you’ve gone,
But when I ask they say you’ve been here all along.
People pray to you, and build statues in your name, and yet you are nowhere to be found.
I have always struggled with my faith, to believe in a man I cannot see.
I find it hard to believe, that creator of all,
Would give a horrid disease to me, and still expect my love and praise of him.
I sometimes wonder if any of it’s real at all,
If god even exists.
I wonder where you are right now,
If you’re watching over my mother and father like i’ve...

The Apostate's Creed [or] Constructs of Delusion
Pray for my pillow to
navigate my night'like
meanders.
Who can possibly certify
my sincerity when i talk t'me self,
or pass the day in deep wonder
talking with dear Stella (canine)?
It's just another broken ballast
on just another idiot's dream that
I swiped from yet another idiot,
(who had planned no escape route -
talk about idiots....no escape route
talk about no escape route from
from which to effect some escape).
O, fuck, how tangled a web are
we gonna weave
in this bleedin' practice to...
navigate my night'like
meanders.

If knowledge was a Fruit
Knowledge of self can be self consuming.
See the fruit of knowledge consume your soul.
Are you hard enough to allow knowledge to leave its mark?
Hark, the knowledge tree eats those who touch its fruit.
Are you bold enough to bite the hand that teaches to feed?
Why is it that knowledge bites those who mishandle her fruit?
The fruit itself is mute, but speaks volumes in action.
Count ignorance as a minor distraction to the fruit of knowledge.
The teeth of ignorance are baby-like in comparison to the fangs of Noesis.
Know this; pay attention to...

If This is Sin
I longed for a kind human touch
Her purpose in life was to give
The magic of healing began
She bent over whispering “Hush.”
She held me between folded hands
Kneeling as if in a prayer
Then whispering lips embraced my cock
My all was beneath her command
The cold of her cross touched my skin
Then dangled reflecting light
A sweet holy sparkle shown in her eyes
If this is sin then let us begin
Her purpose in life was to give
The magic of healing began
She bent over whispering “Hush.”
She held me between folded hands
Kneeling as if in a prayer
Then whispering lips embraced my cock
My all was beneath her command
The cold of her cross touched my skin
Then dangled reflecting light
A sweet holy sparkle shown in her eyes
If this is sin then let us begin

Into Your Hands
Into your hands
I put my life
I entrust you
With my soul
Like a never ending river
Through time your word does flow
I want to see your glory
I want to feel your grace
OH Jesus, my savior
My sovereign king
Come into this place
We lift our hands up to you
We sing our songs aloud
Waiting for the day
When we are heaven bound
I put my life
I entrust you
With my soul
Like a never ending river
Through time your word does flow
I want to see your glory
I want to feel your grace
OH Jesus, my savior
My sovereign king
Come into this place
We lift our hands up to you
We sing our songs aloud
Waiting for the day
When we are heaven bound

I met you many times
I tell you fellow
I met you many times
Have you?
I ramble with you in my lucid mind
When the idea comes through
And with your silence you address me
They say you’re utterly kind
You understand my verity and my view
And you came to set me free
I don’t wear a mask, I will not be blind
This uncomfortable feeling is not new
When strange things are over, knowledge is the key
Remember when you dined
with some raggedy folks sitting by you
You shared your potion and meal with thee
I wasn’t there,...
