Shepard's Pie
Hostages are held on each side
soldiers counted for the cause
weaponized for the greater good
now put forward to crush the curs
no hold barred by high decree
the scorched earth is the outcome
achievements mean more than men
blood enriches the thirsty soil.
Families become war's fodder
friends asundered to ensure
all that matters is consequence
right by might is assured
with the chains of dogma's curse
exacting conduct from the folk
the end times are at least realized
once again for the thousandth’s time.

falling
the sound of harps fade drowned out by screams
my wings severed from my back and holyness ripped from my soul
falling helplessly to the earth
i scream your name but you turn your back
you beg for forgiveness and let me fall
hatered fills me
crashing to the earth i feel the eamptyness
forever bound to my sin
my wings severed from my back and holyness ripped from my soul
falling helplessly to the earth
i scream your name but you turn your back
you beg for forgiveness and let me fall
hatered fills me
crashing to the earth i feel the eamptyness
forever bound to my sin

I Led My Lord
I led my lord to the dance
hoping all would turn out well
when at the door I was alone
redeemer vanished as music soared
my need to find an escape
bond to others in this dim space
moved my escort to step away
lest my hunger cause them pain.
Next I took them to the game
almighty sat to watch them play
while cheers for blood roared in the air
holy spirit had disappeared
a need to conquer was too much
soaking ground with vanquished blood
though metaphorical against true pain
just as red in sport's combat.

Open Me Up
Open eyes
Open ears
Open lungs
And open veins.
Domingo en fuego
Open skies
Open clouds
Open thunder
And open rain.
Domingo en fuego
Open fears
Open thoughts
Open hopes
And open minds.
Domingo en fuego
Open me up,
Please...
I’ve opened my arms,
I can’t see you,
But I hope that you’re there.
Open ears
Open lungs
And open veins.
Domingo en fuego
Open skies
Open clouds
Open thunder
And open rain.
Domingo en fuego
Open fears
Open thoughts
Open hopes
And open minds.
Domingo en fuego
Open me up,
Please...
I’ve opened my arms,
I can’t see you,
But I hope that you’re there.

Domingo en fuego
The wind spins me five days away from Sunday,
The very particular day when all my problems are gone and I can say what’s on my mind,
The wind blows me ten days from hell raise no matter what I ever say,
It's a depressing day when I remember that there's most likely nothing to save me now.
Conclude my story with a leap--
Of faith to cascade into the deep,
Let me go so can find my twilight sleep,
For nothing in return I will weep.
Admittance to my problems and concluding my story of fake smiles and scolding a selfish thought,
The many...

In Release
There is appeal in release
responsibility put aside
as if the soul can’t accept
obligation to do things right
there is a method here at hand
madness grasped to ease the flock
surety from mouths of men
sad decrees that chain the mind.
With the work already done
bless dogma put down to the page
all that’s left is to adhere
to the edicts inscribed there
the monsters will the words
those best intentions of past age
focus on the parts they like
put aside contrary thoughts.
Into this hell the faithful walk ...

Where does your allegiance lie: retribution the masses called,retribution
Sinner at a sermons Sunday sunrise sacrifice
break bread with me
mouthwash singing to the religious worlds awakening
wings
i heard the flutter
of wilted angel wings
wet from soot
ambient
Mercedes in the hood window tint
choking rational breath from madness
marking the end of a waged revolution
work those wet windpipe words
slippery noodles singing
shaking reptile scale shields from the gospel
working women as
3 feet behind at all times possessions
disposition...

Following in the Footsteps of the Christians of the First Century
My friend is a Young Earth Creationist
(who believes God created the world 6000 years ago).
He knows I am an Old Earther who believes in the Big Bang theory, with God as the Great Cause behind it all.
He says to me, "Give me one Biblical reason for preferring the Big Bang over Genesis, chapter one."
I replied with one word: evangelism.
People today have been taught that the universe is 13.8 billion years old.
With the world coming into existence about 4.6 billion years ago.
So telling them that the Earth/Universe are both 6,000 years old is...

How Russian Attack Explains the Rapture
Let me break the Rapture down into different aspects.
For example, there is the "trumpet of God" sounding at the Rapture.
This would stand for the bomb blasts occurring as the Kremlin launches Russian Attack against America.
Aspect number 2: at the Rapture the angels will "gather Christ's 'Elect' from horizon to horizon" (Matthew 24.30-31).
If you have a map (or globe) in which Israel is in the center, you will see that America is at the far western horizon.
While Japan is to the opposite eastern horizon.
So, Russian Attack upon America...

Big Brother
I found out about you recently, you died before your birth.
A long time ago, but I hope that I get the chance to see you...
In the near future, on a paradise earth.
I wonder how things would be if you were here, wish I could get a Preview.
I had a dream about you...
A person very much like me, but far from the same.
Ever since I heard about you...
I've had this picture in my head, everything minus a name.
I sometimes wonder what it would have been like to have an older brother.
Would I have ended up...

brim stone
brim stone and fire is all you'll need to keep you in believing
the savoir is for all mankind?
faith and Gods came thousands of years
way before the Son of God was born
Believe what you will
do not force your beliefs on others
because if your beliefs are true
then you will be saved the rest of us will be damned.
