Vampires
We hear the gunfire off in the distance
We find ourself picking up pace in that direction
No more than filth covered skeletons trekking through the jungle
War harden with dead men eyes looking for the next skirmish
We know our positions and the way that we each move
The natural predators here give us a wide girth
For they have all agreed this is man's war
They have agreed to come together as one and clean up the battlefields
But for now and from afar they watch as we kill
They don't understand it, because we are defying the...

Straight Talk Live (That Star Spangled Banner )
You gave us the throne of the universe
Love and honor unto mankind as we daily converse
The storms, the sun, the rains
Manmade emollients to ease the discomfort of our pains
The window of opportunity to ensue at our feet
Life, liberty, and the pursuit as great minds greet
You thou I walk through the valley of the shallow of death
Labored breaths, that beaming light casted on my soul in the moment of time I felt
A promise from Your son, You, we shall divinely meet ...

Embracing The Heavens Within A Hellish Soul
You are having a witnessed poetic mental breakdown
The twin peaks of your soul have converged in obscurity without a sound
Your occultism mind will make a case study for any Psychiatric Journal book
I am sure Mastema will be thrilled once your name is added once he takes a look
You make no earthly sense
Please tell me this is an act, or are you just this dense
If you truly believe what’s going on inside your head
When you talk to whatever seven demons in solitude when you are alone in your bed ...

Resurrected
Did you really think I would not come for you, you are such a pitiful fool
My legion is governed my the spirit of Haitian Loas who celestial rules
Sent Michael back to Heaven, Gabriel gave me his warring horn
Unmasking the hidden combat from the ill-reputed Children of the Corn
I have the rare gift to see straight through you
You are like all the others who have tried to clip my wings, to pay Lucifer his dues
An unlearned pawn in this chess game we all call life
The beginning of a spiritual...

Russian Hack of USA Gov't Agencies: WHAT DOES IT MEAN??!!
The discovery on Thursday (Dec.17,'20) that RUSSIA has hacked many of our Federal agencies is HUGE !!
Its a solid SIGN from God as to the time of RUSSIAN ATTACK upon the USA !!
I mean it points to the immediate future - some time within 2021 !!
I'm assuming that the Kremlin's goal was to tamper with our ability to launch our RETALIATORY nuclear arsenal (after a Russian "first strike").
If Russia hits us (our big cities), but we don't get to hit back (because our computers are sabotaged by this Russian hack of our gov't),
that means Russia does the "impossible" -...

How Blacks Played a KEY ROLE In The Abolition of Slavery
usually think it was all whites, and no blacks
(except for Union soldiers), that brought an end to slavery.
Not so. Blacks played a central role.
They did it in the person of Dred Scott.
His lawsuit went all the way to the Supreme Court.
Chief Justice Taney. totally ruled against Dred Scott having any rights whatsoever.
Taney struck down the 3 compromises that Congress had put together over the previous three decades.
Taney ruled that slaves are property, pure and simple.
And since property is legal everywhere,
owning slaves is legal...

Becoming Nothing / Nothing Becomes Me / A Battle Cry
It's way too late to become
any thing.
Guess I had a chance & blew it,
I
suppose.
Imagine what they think when
one
proclaims that
one
is
No Thing,
(or nothing, as it occurs).
Oh,you verdant Florida
crepuscule, you.
pleas bless this thing

Rawina Finds Hope - Rewrite
Rawina Finds Hope
Her family had scattered to the four winds after their village became a smoking ruin. So she wandered the desert in a daze. At the age of twenty when most are just starting off in life, she was a refugee. Finally, Rawina found herself more chaperoned than captured by the strangest soldier in an ISIS uniform. He opened the door for her as though he was a gentleman. He said, “Good afternoon. May I take you out for a bite to eat?” It was like he was escorting her on a date.
Rawina replies, “Thank you for the offer. However, my lunch date is just late. He...

Before the Battle
In a room made of logs and wood,
With giant windows, at which, at one point, each one stood,
As they entered,
Bewildered, at the life ahead of them in exchange for all they had surrendered.
By the entrance, lies the health kit locker,
Not far from the corner,
Where, up on the walls,
Posters, with all their scrawls.
As I stand here in the base,
I see many a face,
The battle-worn, the weary,
And the downright crazy.
Many faces, of all different clothes, hairstyles and colors, beards and...hats? ...

The Things I Did
He joined the Marines at eighteen. A soldier through and through. He was tall, sturdy and always friendly. Daniel was my neighbor for nearly five years. He had moved from the high desert to the suburbs of L.A. so he could be closer to his grown children.
“I have six” he once told me. “Seven” he corrected himself a second later. Two from three ex-wives and one boy whom he had picked up during a mission while his platoon was making their way through the country side in Vietnam in early ‘73. The village had been raided just a few days before they got there. There were bodies...
