"No more yogurt," he pleaded
But conspiracies theoried
left such a garden (un)weeded
Tyler too swift
In an imperial racecar drift
Left nasa bleating to hitler's seeding
And all christine's best kisses
Simply gossip column reading

To Casanova & Alex Pope
With a common assault to decency
To keep your boats above the tide
You let waters rise to the regency
Without reproving what's inside
Each husband priest to his own wife
Was what Adam's work became
But in seeking vanity & pride of life
Lamech's heart took after Cain
Abram spoke by silence
his wife as nearest sister
But Pharoah & Abimelech
could scarcely try resist her
He himself would stumble
When Pharoah's gift had poached his heart
But Sarah proved his hypocrisy
In locking prayer's answers as separate art
The bond of souls in union
To be a husband & a wife
Means a love of single promise
No matter struggle or strife
His failure meant his son was through whom God's promise would be named
With solemn oath to servant
So that Isaac's heart was tamed
Though Esau ran to hunt
& Jacob tended flocks
They both divided hearts away (& the better became a mandrake's lay)
In the eyes of a wife who mocks
The priests despised with babylon's eyes
Sees John's apocalypse in the small
Yet accustoming all to scandals under lies
Simply multiplies the Fall

some kind of royalty
by birth & breed & stock
demands mankind’s true loyalty
bound under key & lock
while the face may reach earth’s furthest end
with every calculated showing
& old men blush when they condescend
& others gush as the young are growing
the precision of every weight
& gospel life of all who follow
will determine kingdoms’ fate
& if aristocratic souls grow hollow

Teddy Roosevelt sold my nation
Because he & Japan loved power's sensation
A shaking of hands, the gentlemen agree
"We can divide this world most profitably"
The American missionaries are sent back home
To join anemic churches like a broken Ethan Frome
The rich & poor alike delight in purity of the race
& not having to look at the oriental's face
Darwinism's social application begins to prove
The wisdom & fun of a treacherous move
"But put on the show for the good ol' boys
We won't complain if they make some noise
'A cross of gold?' They just want what's ours.
We'll buy all their preachers with a few gold bars!
Real men know that might makes right
Their Jesus didn't even put up a fight
We'll set up a teacher & rig a case
To make their religion lose its face
And very soon the world will see
The power of a blood pinched penny"

When we use our tongues to curse
E'en veiled in a Bible verse
The love that's missing
Will keep on kissing
Til there's nothing left inside
And when in panic, evil tries to hide
The day soon over
The young ones sober
Will see the graves behind the words
And undershepherds will steer their herds
To show the truth of all the blood you've spilt
And every soul whose innocence you've made to wilt
Time will tell who has truly lied
So while mercy's gate is yet open wide
Let this your warning be all that you need
Before your garden fully grows from such corrupted seed

When one man represents a race
there’s something wrong with the saving of face
unless the people are long and hard oppressed
by hypocritical priests leaving sin unconfessed
then let the face be the one speaking truth
and the samaritan at the well be the modern Ruth

Innocent blood exonerates, yet each man will receive justice.
The giver of mercy cannot be reduced to below the dignity of the receiver without the words for mercy and grace undermined completely and used as covers for oppression and exploitation.
The deepest laughter's purity, or lack thereof, will reveal the soul's submission.

Some serve Satan and would enslave the blameless with pornography - the art of intimate human relations devoid of spiritual agape love, brotherly phileo love, and even civic storge love. They are corrupted even if they themselves do not use their drug of choice in what they pimp out or self-prostitute. It is not that there aren't realities of savagery in worldly economy and of tight times for people's pocketbooks, but that there is a dignified, if not particularly lucrative, field of work, to do that doesn't involve such predation or selling of oneself (it could be food service or janitorial work, or some other trade).
The bonds between souls are completely real, even to being able to commit the crime of adultery just by the lustful glance, even if we collectively lose sensitivity to those bonds through dissipation and reckless living in debauchery. Creepy men in trenchcoats flashing or perverse peeping toms demonstrate a knowledge already of what is being stolen in terms of innocence for self-gratification, but ethics of human intimacy is not a matter of mere consent; our bodies are a gift and a responsibility given to us by the Creator for our perhaps most basic stewardship before managing wealth or people or knowledge.
It is true that one's basic identity can be stolen through rape, and especially traumatically through gangs raping to break a human's identity. But this sort of theft is not the end of matters, even if it is very common, if not to perpetrate physical violence of penetrating rape, to self-stimulate to make an often surreptitious bond with someone as a claim over them.
The gospel truth is that Jesus, the Son of G-d, died upon a cross in public shame & unjust execution b/c of the sins of others that He bore on their behalf. He testified to the truth that even a lustful glance was enough to have created a human bond powerful enough to link souls together. He did not give this very high standard in order to make us despair of holiness, however, but in order to lead us into a priesthood of sanctifying ourselves to then in turn sanctify others, which He modeled for us by first sanctifying Himself to purify us who trust in His testimony and obey His commandments, both of which He gave in Scripture.

What about the pauper prince
Who's taken every curse
And made it his own reputation
The rhythms for his verse?
What price is there to pay
for reckless sin today?
It hates & hears no threat
until its needs are met
It heeds the will to say
whatever darkness may
Without a care for laws
It struts its deepest flaws
But the brood of vipers waiting
To use your lust for power making
And will grab you by the tail
And ensure you'll always fail
Regardless of the spotlight
The thoughts we entertain
Are life's decision branches
And pathways in our brain
The ruined ones destroyed
With your sorceries employed
Will have the chance to make their case
Before they ever need to see your plotting face
And your restoration will disappoint you
Because you despised when Love anointed you
Take godly wisdom now and quickly turn from sin
Or a demon more ferocious will enslave you deep within

Learned what cut and paste meant
Quite recently
Making magazines
Defining humanity
Never stopped to read hers
Maybe a few briefly,
from the library
otherwise, just passed by the headlines
of those living large
At my local supermarket on the magazine rack
So she herself was the news when i heard of her passing
Like the ones she would write about
But it made me sad since it seemed a wedding picture
Someone cared to write.

Take time to be holy
Take time to be holy, speak oft with thy Lord;
Abide in Him always, and feed on His Word.
Make friends of God's children, help those who are weak,
Forgetting in nothing His blessing to seek.
Take time to be holy, the world rushes on;
Spend much time in secret, with Jesus alone.
By looking to Jesus, like Him thou shalt be;
Thy friends in thy conduct His likeness shall see.
Take time to be holy, let Him be thy Guide;
And run not before Him, whatever betide.
In joy or in sorrow, still follow the Lord,
And, looking to Jesus, still trust in His Word.
Take time to be holy, be calm in thy soul,
Each thought and each motive beneath His control.
Thus led by His Spirit to fountains of love,
Thou soon shalt be fitted for service above.
William Dunn Longstaff

The sorrows of young werther
Is it the rich young man going away sad
After hearing that his lyricism
And prince's virtue
Doesn't get to keep its rare nikes
Designer shades
Private flying lessons
24/7 orchestral soundtrack
and keys to a yacht on vacation
if it wants to seed salvation?
Every perfect start
Can't rise above the rest
Simply because
It's passed a written test
Corruption in the staging
And tracks in cold hard steel
Leaves no holy spark engaging
With a seal upon what's real
(freemasonry's occult luciferianism is why the limelight is a circus. end Goethe!)
