"Gods and Monsters"


Ying Yang
Black White
Dark Light
One God meets another 
in the middle of the 
night, are they at odds with one another?
Or just shuffling Decks of cards,
playing with each other 
for the same stakes
they're the Jokers holding the 
same rites (sic) rights?  Right?

Sin Virtue
Good Bad
Wrong Right
Who’s to say this God
is not one and the same?
He holds the Rod
alright.

An American child 
cries inconsolably for months 
turns into years
a murdered parent
the Twin Towers
bloody burning crumbling terror
people jump from  windows
fly like birds of freedom 
watched on Television like 
a movie about Icarus,
though their God’s  
no Daedalus -
falling downward spirals
through corrupt politicians'
smokescreens, these buggers are
holding bibles.
Who do you believe
in this conspiracy?

God? Where is God 
in all of this?
Hiding or ever near?
Who is God in all of this?
He has disappeared.

Over there 
you have a Syrian
child 
head eviscerated, impaled on a post
eyes half-opened wide
in a playground no inhale, no smile
the body has been cast aside
while their fathers watch on crucified
dead surveying all the beauty lying around.
Cold blooded slaughtered
for standing by their one true Christian God,
never taking the other deity's side,
they stand firm in their belief
not denouncing, they had courage, 
even though there was no relief…

They’ve stood their ground 
they’ve watched their mother 
who’s just been raped and slaughtered 
like a goat, a cut throat, 
thrown dead in front of them
thrown face down in the dirt
by a platoon of rabid monsters, 
who dance in her bloody moat….
and then they turn upon the sons and daughters 
of their land with brusque demand,
“Who is your God?" Who is your God, now!”
The murderer’s raise their rifles and their hands
yell ,”Allahu Akbar, this is God! God of All the Lands!”.

Gods and Monsters
Where is the Source?
Where is the Creator?
Surely soon he shall be seen -
for God is not a coward,
he will eventually come clean,
reveal all when we least expect it...
that’s how a good movie ends,
and then we will all come together
and together we will ALL kneel as friends
in our terror, surely not in glory
ALL our nations’ religions,
this is HIS story, 
this is history
“ARRIVAL” - 
One True God.
