Nothing will go to waste
Welcome to my c-oven
you'll be sanctified
later on, you'll be purified
tomorrow, you'll be rectified
It's time...
it's time for the sacrifice
the sacrifice of YOU!
You wait for the cows to come home
but baby you squirm like an earthworm
sinker, hook & line
your organs we will dine
We slaughter and then we deep fry
crispy on the inner thigh
I now want more, just like a drunken whore
Like it or not,
dissected and cooked,
before you rot
Justify
Comply ...

solitude is a c**t
silent prayers said to the cobwebs maybe they'll catch them inside the hurt
I cry bitterly I don't know who the hell I am in the breaking dawn
this world isn't one I recognize and I'm not either
the brittle truth is falling apart
we pick reality from the empties
we are emptier still believing platitudes while we fade
heil to the new world
we believe we're getting somewhere
all the while we drift further into our solitude

Mea Culpa
was it my fault?
what did i do?
i was so little
always felt his
anger, tangible
at the surface
as i got older
bits & pieces
were laid bare
on the news
i searched for
clarity, trying to
figure out who
this man is?
the only thing
i know osvaldo
was his name
given name
he's a bottler
a closed book
was he a victim
or a witness or
...an abuser?
my father who
once was a friar
whatever he's ...

FORGIVENESS
NEEDED
I've always heard that
even angels make mistakes
and everyone guesses
that the devil does all
the time. I know I, hopefully,
fall somewhere between
these two entities. I would
dare to make a guess that
we all do, not an accusation,
just a thought.
If it is true that the best
and worst of us makes mistakes
it must follow that we all,
at one time or another, need
forgiveness. I see that
the line at the confession booth
is long but I will patiently wait.
HOW ABOUT YOU?

THE END OF ONAN
He spilled his seed
doing the deed,
not let if flow
where it should go -
into the wife
he took for life
and make a heir
for late brother.
He was struck dead
(while still in bed?)
condemning wife
to widowed life.

Second Coming
Ten, nine, eight,
seven, six, five, four
Behold, I knock upon the door
that whosoever… three, two, one
We have ig-ni-tion.
Orian sighs and by his breath,
all life returns from after death.
A swarm of ships from Heaven’s realm
amass and duly overwhelm
the somber dark before the light.
A thief has come unto the night.
Swirling spheres that make no sound
split the sky and torch the ground,
zig and zag with proton speed,
phantoms of the galaxy.
Angels lead a vast descent
inside their shiny armament. ...

get some knee pads already
I caught myself
mid eye roll
hands tossed in the air
thinking "again...here we go"
but I paused for a beat
and gave it full my consideration
despite my usual frustration
I really needed to understand
why you do...
...what you do
and I think I'm finally on to you
I know why your knees take a beating
head bent in pious penance
wringing fingers in invocation
there in your habitual pew
on display in prominent view
or elbows braced on the edge of your bed
and this...

My desire is unparalleled....

He Is Exalted (Joseph)
How in the world this.. this lying.. God please forgive me, but she is pregnant and talking about she does not know how
Nine months and I am gonna see her on Maury Povich show talking about I’m gonna be a father now
I know I had too many drinks and my conscious was all up in flight
On the ballroom dance floor, I remember holding her curvy body real tight
And she was smelling good, stunning looking, kinda fly, and she was my Nubian Queen, hell, we that owned that night
Got my friends laughing at me that my wife was creeping around
And I...

I'm Hebrew!!
I'm Hebrew a nation of people who's been treated unfair!!
In a world 🌎 were everyone's looking to prosper an gain dwelling in sin, without feelings and emotions or remorse to even care!!
Because being labeled as people behind two continents or even a color, now amongst the civilized, now our culture and brilliant minds your able to share!!
To the world 🌎 like precious jewels gems 💎 stones, pearl's and diamonds 💎 with no rewards being given or any thoughts of coming close to even being compared!!

Again, come the fine days, - the dust,
A sky of azure, bathed in light,
Long evenings, the walls burning bright ; -
No green in sight, and hardly naught
Save a crimson glint that is caught
Adorning the black trees like night !
This fine time makes me weigh and brood.
That after rainy days, it should
Bring forth, in some canvas painting,
The Spring that paints in green and pink,
Like a fresh nymph hatching, does bring
A smile, from the waters, spurting
...
