The Lambs
The Lambs”
Greetings, Sir. You say you are Sleeping Vessel,
Hello. I’ll be the Testament of your last Will.
Like gods we’ll face the final creation
And the prayers of our congregation
Shall be heard in deeds and vows
And the Righteous Sinners of our House
Shall be happy at the supper of our bodies:
They feast and sing to hills and valleys.
Why do you seem afraid? This is but sleep.
O! What a slumber our souls shall keep.
And when the sign grows soundless
And the death rattles have found us
Like gods...

To Kill a God
There's chaos in our bones
demanding
to
be
free,
a small black hole
hidden in our souls,
calling to us,
pulling us,
toward the chaos of life.
Our glances slide past strangers
we are...
afraid,
they can see,
the endless need,
to release this primal plea.
So we numb our chaos
with lust and desire,
to ...

9-11, the cruel aftermath
9/ 11 the cruel aftermath
Dented western hubris, the mirror cracked
self believes shocked the vanity foundation.
How dare they we are the top predators
our rage will be swift and massive.
Falluja, the western army killed anything that moved
my thought went to Palestine a state of olives
and goat herding, who paid the ultimate prize.
Propaganda is the mixing of truth and deliberate lies
there are those who say Palestine never existed
but old maps tell a different story.
The wheel of the future is ruthless, Israel is tolerated ...

One More Blessing
Everyday I sow a seed
for those like me who are in need
and from the good book i read
to show myself approved indeed
That I might walk in the light
when my steps are ordered right
I am one more blessing away
from living in a brand new way
So at midnight and noon i pray
that tomorrow will be that day
My mind and body are weak
the word is the strength i seek
If i walk by faith and not by sight
I can navigate thru my darkest night
and if I AM's hand is with me
i can defeat the enemy ...

Our War is Over
We fought you for 800 years"
Those are behind us now
We fought our wars
We won our independence
Not all we wanted
Did we get
This is our country
All 32 parts of it
Not 26 or 27
They have no right
But our bed was made
The treaty signed
100 years and 1 day ago today
Now we live in peace
As much as we dislike
Our state of being
No more killing
No more fucking "black n tans"
No more hunger strikes
No more "H" cages
In the "Long Kesh"
No more "Bobby Sands" patriots
Need die ...

Ever Sacred
I adore my solitude
this solemn time away
from the light of day
where there is only me
When my true poetry
is allowed to shine
as the words are all mine
meant to say what they will
Each pure poetic spill
is an offering
a pure sacrifice
upon this artistic alter
For while deeds do falter
intentions still remain
faint echoes of a pain
haunting to the ear
Seem to make it clear
that the passage of time
suspended now in...

Untitled # 1
Somewhere
Buried deep inside
Hides the man that once was
The man he was before …
Before
The sand
The blood
And
The hate
Tried to kill him
But they failed
Kinda
He survived
But will likely
Never be the same
This is the cost
The cost of living
Living knowing
That the only reason
He walks this earth
And breathes
Is because
There is other men
That no longer do
Buried deep inside
Hides the man that once was
The man he was before …
Before
The sand
The blood
And
The hate
Tried to kill him
But they failed
Kinda
He survived
But will likely
Never be the same
This is the cost
The cost of living
Living knowing
That the only reason
He walks this earth
And breathes
Is because
There is other men
That no longer do

daily demise
long before the curse that binds
less forlorn in savage times
wish me gone in delicate rhymes
and whisk me, worn, in thorny vines
lay me down in silken threads
place my head upon its bed
twist my neck in sickening dread
and drain me clean of anything red
winter’s drear darkens the feast
for light brings grief upon the beast
let no one let this sabbath cease
rend my flesh, bloated and bleached
less forlorn in savage times
wish me gone in delicate rhymes
and whisk me, worn, in thorny vines
lay me down in silken threads
place my head upon its bed
twist my neck in sickening dread
and drain me clean of anything red
winter’s drear darkens the feast
for light brings grief upon the beast
let no one let this sabbath cease
rend my flesh, bloated and bleached

Kilimanjaro Angel
Desire, strong and impulsive
Cross boundaries
Cross borders
Cross continents
To love unconditionally
To help, to heal to cure
How deep is your love
How big is your heart
To leave your native Kingdom
To fly your native green n gold
Under the shadow of Kilimanjaro
To leave your Mama
To become a beloved Mama
To thousands without their own
To love, to inspire, to teach
They're are Angels who
Walk among us
And sure as night follows day
One has left the Vale of Tralee
And is spreading the light
In...
