Do This
in Remembrance of Me
1.
I still don't know
what took me so long
to understand why
I remember it like yesterday—
Eucharist; eschewing
processed wafers
for freshly baked bread;
I was so proud of myself—
it's golden skin perfect
When the service ended
I was presented the remains—
that leftover body of Christ
without any instructions ...

Drums of Praise and Worship
Every Sunday morning
I’d arrive at church ten minutes early before service
For a small rehearsal with the group
But I always wanted to play in the evening service
They had longer louder livelier set
And a bigger congregation
Yet somehow as I was beginning to question my faith
I was asked if I would be interested in being a youth pastor
But I knew deep down I was not a good example
My Monday through Saturday self was different than my Sunday self
I left that congregation a year or so later
Joined a church that was starting and...

How to Seek God (and Where to Find Him)
We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme. A wonderful thing it is and the source of our happiness. We need not wait to see what others do.” Mahatma Gandhi

Through the razor
Grass, are
Holding the dissipating glow of
Morning, where eyes are...

The Pilgrimage To Mecca (Straight Talk)
Forgive Them Father For They Know Not What They Do
In the civil unrest years of the 1960's minorities needed hope, we needed prayer to bridge racial disparity among the masses.
I am writing this in regard to an important part in our history, some if not all have long forgotten, in addition, for those who have survived it.
May your nights be restful and for the ones who were left beyond, may the memories stir your mind to give it much needed comfort and rest.

a new heaven and Earth
indigo pain relief in the blood
the latter rain is upon the land
seven vials will be loosed are you yet ready?
heaven travails a new age to come
I fear though I know a thousand angels encamp
my mind was lost times three
all my wickedness was paid for he hung his head and it was finished
on the third day, he rose and heaven brought their son home
he is my defender by him alone will I be judged
my spirit has been viciously attacked
I will fight the good fight to get my mind back
suicide is tempting in this land of the lost...

SOMETIMES WE GOTTA CHOOSE
Through the visions of the storms of life, we will be pulled in two different kind of directions, one by the devil chasing after us
and theology the other is the almighty trying to protect us from harm. Cause through the insanity of it all it will eventually tap into our alter egos and boost our subconsciousness, blinding us into submission into the depth of the darkness away from the light. But yet as the presence of the darkness that Hoover's over our heads, seems to follow us no matter were we go we must decide on the right path, to take along this dangerous dark road of the unknown....

Walk With Me
You asked me if I'm God
Then enter the gates and cross the yard
You have just entered Grace
And crossed Evil's face
Then walk in to the halls
See that mirror on the wall
Peer at the image
See an eternity of love, hate, joy, and rage
Things that could've been saved
My gift to you, to you I gave
Which you ravished, burned, and even enslaved
To call it Earth is being brave
But there was more to Earth
Things of bliss, things of worth
I gave you to each other
To co-exist as sisters and brothers
...
Then enter the gates and cross the yard
You have just entered Grace
And crossed Evil's face

My gift to you, to you I gave

NUDITY, THEOLOGY, FEMININITY
Did not God think it 'VERY good'
when he had made first humans nudd?
'Male and female He created',
His father heart demonstrated,
Naked and without any shame
of their divinely finished frame.
It was that pesky little snake
who got folk 'shamed of bits that shake
and would have had them cover up
the parts God made to help them 'tup'
and, in woman's case, suckle young
upon the breasts on top half hung.
To those who down the ages blame
women for man's fall, I'd cry 'Shame!
You've been barking up the wrong tree ...

United, We Stand
May we stand together in gentle harmony;
As members of the human race,
It’s time to abandon our mental armory,
Amidst this crisis that we face.
With 99.9% genetic similarity,
It’s absurd that we still ostracize;
With our pathetic insularity,
That we can’t seem to compromise.
We’re divided by ethnicity,
And ripped apart by races;
With no sign of our complicity,
But the color of our faces.
We’re divided in our politics,
Pitted as enemies against our brothers;
Instead of embracing similarities,
We see a...

Idols of righteousness
