the purity of waking
her thoughts lie
there
like diseased
shattered
shimmering
glass on the
wet floor of
this moment
time recedes
nothing there
monkey sounds
fill the air
be my discount
love sold by whip
invitation in the
outdoor markets
of Morocco
be my tribal ritual
eaten by the spears
of cruel moonbeams
be my day after
tomorrow that
never arrives
ghost wait on
my front
porch
I will go home
now
and burn the
scarecrow...

Looking at Mad
At school today,whilst in my history class,and for the first time ever.
Our history teacher(Miss. Radical,we call her.)Talked to us about slavery.
Not Modern day slavery. But slavery of Ancient Africans.
And it was in my history class,that our teacher told us,
that many European countries were involved in the enslavement of Ancient Africans.
But it was the Portuguese, that started it,in the 1400's.
I really wanted to ask my teacher.
Why would anyone want to enslave
and steal from,rape and murder,another human being.

The One You Listened To
I am the one who throws down the highest spade.
I am the one who says whatever without shade !
I’m the one told them it was ok to invade ,not only did I tell them that it was ok , I showed them the way.
not only did I show them the way ,I showed them my way , the only way I took .
I didn’t procrastinate or bait the hook I show them what it took good or bad happy or sad . who am I , im the one that told you it was ok meanwhile you never said thanks ..

reflections on easter
a haiku fest
i.
trumpet trees with song
fill the earth with winds of change
heaven comes to earth
II.
withered grass his bed
cattle cries for lullabies
royalty restrained
iii.
palm tree branches strewn
where no carpet grass reclines
royal float parade
iv.
gethsemane trees
some with thistle, some with thorn
give so many pains
v.
doggone dogwood tree
stripped of every limb and branch
bearing, stripped, my Lord
vi.
swallowed by the earth ...

the death of death himself
an easter reflection
cut roses from my hand dead at your door,
once-fragrant sentiments withered and lost;
alas! you do not love me anymore:
though i relent, there is no pentecost.
good-friday judgments leave my soul condemned
to bear sharp nails and thorns i scarce have earned;
for innocence you cannot comprehend,
three death-dark days - my breath from me adjourned.
i claim my own, my own receives me not;
a wanderer, no place to lay my head,
through desert-fasting maze and camel's knot
sifted, i hang...

Ding-Ding.
Left school. No better off.
Ding- Ding: Round two.n
Fell pregnant for the second time.
But this time round,It's not his.

Why No Lives Matter
Without love
there is no life
You cannot seek
to save your life
for the mere sake
of living
so if you
say to me
“Black lives matter”
I will say
“White lives don’t matter”
and
“Prove me wrong”
Because next to love
No lives matter
there is no life
You cannot seek
to save your life
for the mere sake
of living
so if you
say to me
“Black lives matter”
I will say
“White lives don’t matter”
and
“Prove me wrong”
Because next to love
No lives matter

WHY WILL RUSSIA CONQUER THE WORLD ??
SOME SUPER POWER NATION (obviously Russia) WILL CONQUER THE WORLD !!
Its because CHRIST wants to become the SAVIOR OF THE WORLD !!
In order for Him to do that, some evil ruler has to first take over the world !!
And THAT is exactly what the Bible predicts:
"The BEAST will make war against the Christian nations" and "gain power over every nation"(Rev.13.7).
This means the Antichrist will take over THE WORLD !!
Christ wants an evil dictator to take over the world so that Christ
can then SAVE THE WORLD by defeating/destroying him(the Antichrist/"the...

ere death should o’ertake me
As the quest for light is the quelling of darkness,
so is the pursuit of life the postponement of death.”—cab
the shadow of death has pursued me from birth,
diminishing daily my time on this earth;
yet, have i life hunted with every last breath,
determined to outrun the shadow of death.
when darkness, at night, camouflages my light,
the minions of evil make rampant my plight,
the vesture of morning aborting the kill,
as glorious sunshine enflames every hill.

pacific prospectus
Blessed are the peacemakers, and one sure way of peacemaking
is to let the fire of contention alone. Neither fan it, nor stir it, nor add fuel to it, but
let it go out by itself. Begin your ministry with one blind eye and one deaf ear.—
Charles Spurgeon
if you can swallow
your own dark words
before you shoot them
at provocateurs and fools
and if you can cool the flames
that others sling at you
before they swell and cripple the light
that heals your soul
perhaps the green hills shall be...

Holy Ghost
(Sacrilegious "Leda and the Swan")
TW: r*pe, abuse, sacrilegious
As she lay all alone on her cot,
Upon where she and Joseph had tried before.
She wondered was it her fault or not,
For they had yet to conceive and adore.
Then she loved him as much as she could;
Granted she must, for what her father was paid.
She wondered if she very much should,
But she thought either way, she would be paid.
She invited HIM while he was out.
She figured, "why not? He will think it is his."
But soon a shadow was cast of doubt,

The Doomsday Epitaph
Heaven help them...they knew not what they did,
In capitulation to brutality
By weapon systems in big business bid
And armed for global catastrophe!
There were rules in place which all had known
Yet ill will nevertheless persisted
Into simian rages overgrown
To be the evils rarely resisted.
And so injustice became the rule
With decency...the lonely exception...
In the weary mind of some old fool
Who saw the world as misconception...
Poorly explained by the creationist
