Thy Will Shall Be Done (The Covenant)
For your arrogance, Damballa and your spiritual treason, your malice, your racial contempt, your hate, YOU and your regrets were tossed off the Mothership
Then to label yourself in this dimension as the demoness Maman Brigitte who scowls the night killing babies, including the divine spiritual killing of your own
Bedazzling men and women with false spiritual ideology in hopes their minds are confused, too far gone
And you want the world to worship a snakehead you have placed upon your throne
The Lilith of the night, a Jinn, an Earth slithering...

How many Negroes have you captured from Africa and brutally enslaved?
Tell us, how many human beings have you exploited and oppressed?
How many people have you wrongfully accused and convicted in your unjust courts?
Evildoers, how many innocent souls have you sent to the gallows?
How many times have you stolen our gold, silver and diamonds to gain wealth?
Can you recall how many villages you have pillaged and destroyed?
How many lies have you told to persuade voters to elect you political leaders?
Teachers, how many youths have you...

Methadone My Lady (It’s Free)
You have bowed enough to a man, get up off your knees
At..at.. what is Hades’ magic word, and it ain’t please
Until you remember it get back down on all fours until the sun eclipses the moon at ninety degrees
You came into my realm to seek that ultimate high
What are you willing to sacrifice besides your worthless life
It's nothing more sickening than a mother who leaves a wild child to the wolves tossed out like trash in the wind
An undeveloped brain that cannot compute in the real world, drop the act, blue-eyed devil, I...

The Odd Man Out. (Triolets For Palestine.)
What must the Planets think up there,
as they look down upon the Earth?
Does Saturn offer up a prayer?
What must the Planets think up there
about this damned bloodstained affair,
of warring men and Black Gold's worth?
What must the planets think up there,
as they look down upon the Earth?
Of them I'm sure that Mars alone
could gaze upon this war and smile
at bleeding flesh and splintered bone.
Of them I'm sure that Mars alone
with weapons by his murderous throne
would pleasure take at slaughter vile.
Of them I'm sure...

Raphium Series~Earth
Windswept moment too cold to touch
Incessant chatter caught on the aether
Ghosts blown about gather
They hunt my steps
Wary of the seekers
tangled epiphany is reconciled
turning in the elements
A cycle of life rises and falls
one steps aside another comes alive
necessary evil to onlookers of mass hysterics
demanding answers of a Man
who will not be strongarmed
Delusions of hope...well
while more wars are promised
the earth sick with grief
goes into labor
to deliver a green...

No Land Mines
I want to go where the war is over
Where people have gone back to their lives
The ones's fought are remembered by statues
So the same mistake won't be brought back to life.
I want to go where war exists only in museums
People reduced to their names
As if being a victim is an accomplishment.
I want to go where laughter echos louder than bombs
Where children play on safe grounds
Where promises made have seen daylight
Where peace has sinked in through generations.
I hope I get there, I hope we all do

Simoleons and Shekels
Oh where oh where is the pro-life lament
in solidarity to Gaza grief
from the reflex munition leitmotif
so ethno-nationally heaven sent
to banefully fall from the Zion sky
so kosher can care for Israeli moms
by making more room with David Star bombs,
often as not from Pentagon supply
where inventory makes the dollars fly,
and soon by suitable escalation,
promotes the denizen decimation
ensuring that the sacred troops don't die;
valued now more than the woman and kid
who don't quo the pro with near enough...

Star Sense
If I perchance should look towards the night
and see the twinkling stars and shining moon,
my heart then starts to dance and sing in tune
with all the harmonies of starry light.
So I begin to feel that all is right,
at least up there, and hope that very soon
the Zodiac, across the heavens strewn,
will cry, 'Enough!' and come down in its Might.
The Scorpion, the Archer and the Ram,
with fearsome Sting and Bow and butting Horn,
would then command these squabbling earthborn men
to stop their fighting and become like lambs

Raining Dust
Verse 1
Quick, grab an umbrella
it's time to die fella
can't you see? It's raining dust
no one left to trust
shadows burned into the wall
waiting on the last bomb to fall
Chorus
Dust falling on the playground
burying the youth without a sound
killing to prove a point
no time to waste, just roll another joint
Verse 2
Are those airplanes I hear?
Is that the shadow of death drawing near?
Does it even matter to you?
Tell me Mr. Senator, are you okay?
I'm sure your...

Tragedy in Gaza
In the Gaza Extermination Zone
unacceptable by any measure
the dogged pursuit of Hamas erasure
kills civilians in and out of their homes;
as buildings collapse, hear the crunch of bones
relentless missiles fired with a leisure
that clock religious measure-for-treasure
dating back to fantasy chromosomes
Strange, Palestinians too are Semitic
Jewish-Arab brotherhood rejected
extremists in charge, apocalyptic,
fellow humans march for peace, suspected
meanwhile, weapons-makers, parasitic
are pocketing profits,...

Israel
Peace was a promised land
of milk and honey
after 400 years of servitude.
But there were wars—
and rumors of wars
scattering the twelve tribes
to the four corners of the globe.
Then came ghettos of burgundy blood
dried between cobblestones,
and scientific experiments
pronouncing victims dead or deformed
. . .while the world looked on.
Until it threatened them.
