my internal war rages on.

He fixed the price of food and clothes
If you sold for higher, there was a death penalty
If you hoarded those goods, your blood would flow.

Zen mode

we choose in patience to wait
trusting God to empower
in each node a bliss shower
dreams appear and disappear
there is in truth no one here
all that that is is a flame

laden with blossoms and fruit
gently assail cilia of the nostrils...

Cutting back on a shuggery meal

but first his enemies he would castigate.
He thought slowly and did concentrate
before he sought them to intimidate.

Beams and Motes

I thus usurp decrees divine.
By casting pearls, I abdicate
A chance to share that God is great.
The flavor of the pulp was moot
In Mrs. Doubtfire’s drive-by fruit.

Taking Delight In the Lord

Only to drums in strife
But dance with sharp knife
On neck luring against afterlife
When earth seems a crazy wife
My destiny
Gearing up irony
Unto peace, money...
