The Fight Inside The Exodus
(Forty-One Against Seven)
…On five, off four, on six, off three - they counted in their heads,
On twelve, off two, on fifteen, off eight counting in the bloodshed.
They’d prepared themselves in the morning,
When the enemy pushed through the door,
But the seven young men without warning,
Would spill the enemy’s blood on the floor.
The anti-gravity chamber doors unlocked,
And in four seconds ten of the men rushed in,
But when the engines whirred the doors locked,
The enemy didn’t know what was happening.
Their feet...

Lost Men
( a double Quatern )
For some to whom the years have not been kind,
And beaten into treads of alley cracks.
Where poison oleander of the mind,
Grows pink and scarlet all along the tracks.
Is omnipresent, making all else dim,
For some to whom the years have not been kind.
The remnants of a battle none to slim,
To oust the honored few we leave behind.
The marches in the blinding rain confined,
The ossify of driftwood’s living dead.
For some to whom the years have not been kind, ...
For some to whom the years have not been kind,
And beaten into treads of alley cracks.

The remnants of a battle none to slim,
To oust the honored few we leave behind.
The marches in the blinding rain confined,
The ossify of driftwood’s living dead.
For some to whom the years have not been kind, ...

Militia
Sure this is genuine? "
The words betrayed his gaze. The former and the latter took choiced turns as the disguisers kept murdering the pace between the geographic setting that held the northern alliance from Shamar's militia.
Their hands were up, bellicose of veiled implications on the part of the northern alliance. That was not as expected. That wouldn't have happened at the sanity of the mental horizon. Something must be wrong. But, what turn the wrong took, none could trace, not even Lambz,the leader of the ODA 596.

Humble B. Bumble : 42. Beedazzled
The hornets appeared on the horizon.
Zipper was on lookout with Tryin’ Flyon.
The two of them were in an argument
And didn’t see the hornet’s a-flying.
In fear Tryin’ stumbled back and hit a plant,
And all the water came raining down with a mighty splash.
Sound the alarm! I can’t, Tryin’!
My wings are soaked through, said Zipper, nearly crying.
The two of them ran and watched as above a squadron of hornets,
Crashed down with a thud!
What have we got here...

Antihero
An old stone built tower stands above all on the skyline;
The curves of its body twisting spiral’s in the air.
The moon shines around its peak, which reaches up so very high.
It is surrounded by a castle keep,
That is an image of a burnt out nightmare.
The castle walls are in pieces, like its people,
Cannon fodder their game.
The drawbridge has fallen, but the iron gate still remains.
The shadows in the night speak of a desire to be the enemy within.
The voices of the fallen spit out their final endless screams.

War
It is a new dawn,
I arrive here in spawn,
Wrench in hand,
Prepared to go searching for that metal, scant.
My army finally arrives,
Dancing, drinking, and enjoying their last moments before fighting for their lives.
Cooped up, like bulls in a bullpen,
"Mission begins in 10..."
Voice booming over the loudspeaker,
The countdown begins, familiar,
"5...4...3...2...1...Begin!"
Running out of our spawn, a team of mercenaries, of assassins.
Some run straight to the front lines,
Some...

Bush 2003
Bush 2003 yet what has really changed ?
I turn on my TV
and what do I see
half the truth.
For the innocent youth
are reaching their hands out to America
as if God were above
but I see many of us
only giving shoulder shrugs.
How you holding up?
Find us teasing the need of the feed
to the children of Iraq.
Hunger seems to descend
as hope rises
but surprise
it’s children exploding
while America drops of food load. ...

OVERDUE
Pain, passion and purpose,
Prestigiously positioned
to present all the possibilities
pondered on by past generations
I've travelled triumphantly
through turbulent times
Tainted by faded tissues and scars
torn between the tales of romance and the telling of her true story
I refuse to be unwrapped unless in safe quarters
of advently spirited brethren and only lovers of my soul
I'm done lovin' you
For now I love who loves me
in my entirety, for you to love me
is long overdue
realizing what wasn't willing to love...

Darker Knight
Darker Knight
Swords dulled themselves in masculine sheaths
In the night of love.
At the end of my Crusade
The castle stood
Bombarded yet
Still unsure
Of the hero intent
In benediction
To conquer.
I spoke my prayers to God
The Moor uttered his to Allah.
I was his daylight
He was my Darker Knight.
We knelt to share
And intertwine our daily offices
The hard and marble darkness of his smooth skin
Lent comparison to my white and Western
Body of pale English hide and hair.

Goodbye Hanoi
This far divided land
Where the rice grows free
Has always had corrupt men
Stopping their life's dreams
It's in their veins
It's not that easy
To make it flow on out
For a thousand years
The same has been
Even when a million men
Wearing blue denim jeans
Came marching in
To change our ways
It's not what this is all about
While the people we trust
Pop out of man-made holes
And look like they've been
...

WHY WILL RUSSIA INVADE LITTLE ISRAEL
(RIGHT AFTER BOMBING THE USA AND OVERRUNNING EUROPE)
THE Kremlin knows about Russia in Bible Prophecy. - that Russia will supposedly lead an international invasion of little Israel in the EndTime (our own time)(Ezekiel 38-39; Daniel 11.41-45). The Kremlin knows what is supposed to happen: the SECOND COMING defeats the Russian invasion(Ez. 38.23; 39.7-8, 21-22, 28-29; Zechariah 14.7). But you see the Kremlin does't believe that there is a God or Christ/Messiah in the first place.
