Prayer for the 6th Commandment
Oh Father God, You have commanded us not to commit adultery
This I must, this I perform willingly
For You have made us as temples of Your Spirit
We must avoid being like animals or
Oh Jesus Christ, help me not to become an adulterer
I don't want my spirit to be torn asunder
To our Creator we must be led
From our Creator we must be fed
Oh Holy Spirit, let me not adulterate the body & soul
This is God's command, this is for the good of all.
Amen.

*Prayer for the 10 Commandments
Andrew Mountbatten Windsor
A name to make him wince
When he used to be a royal
Once known as the Prince
Does he have due reason
To complain and whine
In America they promote
Old friends of Epstein?
They're sending him to Norfolk
A move he doesn’t really rate
Probably living there rent free
On Bro’s Sandringham Estate.
According to the Beeb
His ex Fergie has to roam
One of the growing number
Of those looking for a home.
Will the sins of the father,
Only alleged of course,
Be visited on his daughters
An ongoing family curse.
The King was an adulterer
Which must give Andrew hope
Since he was recently in Rome
Praying publicly with the Pope.
Over in America existing
On his wit and guile
Harry’s chuffed he chose
To live his voluntary exile
Willie’s back in England
The perfect royal clone
Wondering if he’ll ever
Make it to the throne.
Has the wold turned topsy Turvey
A revolutionary new era of time
When being rich and powerful
Doesn’t grant amnesty from crime
King Henry the eight looked up and caught glimpse of another beauty
She had a thin waist, long gorgeous auburn hair, and youth.
She was gorgeous!
He wrote an order to be handed to his enforcer
"come and get this one
I have my eye on another woman
chop off her head
call her an adulterer
take her to the guillotine
I am in love again"
momma is tired of these kids
never clean
just do what they wish
that’s why I gave them scarlet necklaces
yes baby
adulterer is already home hehe
not going through his dumb phone
garnet slip with a heartbreak locket choker instead
so deep I chop off his head
dance and twirl in his ribboning ruby mist
lachrymose
xenotransplantation limbs planted
my severed garden
petals fly each time they bud and sprout back out
chop them down like weeds
next time you should stop and think
gaze into your mother or wife’s eyes asking
is she capable
find out
I would bet your life she is
The adulterer and adulteress rode
In a gilded carriage, while horses strode
Many looked on with pride
Others hated the ride
Most of the world yawned in blasé mode
I had some thoughts when they said he was the leader of the Church Of England.
I was dirty I was wash in the blood
I was ignore, abandon and hated, Jesus gave me love
Ridiculed ripped and torn
Humanity haters made me wish I was not born
O' but yes there is
Oh! Bless there be
A better for me always
I was poor monetarily,
No place to lay down my head no really
Birth burst into this dad gone abandoned us
He had many, many other girls, adulterous adulterer
Other kids had full-time stay at home dads where's mine
O but where is mine
My Father in heaven
And now mine better here and now, always
My Father got better days for me now
My Father got better days for me now
My Father got better days for me now

I
When I have prepared Sunday Bible message
I may be seen again in the PS passage
Why, but let me explain
All the same
Usually Joe DeMino inspires thought
After leaving comment & afterthought
On his poem - I agree - I will choose love
Whether taught from parent below or above
Yet I add from Scripture (Romans, in Bible)
Why we incline toward greed & rebellion
II
It seems natural to love (some poets know it)
It seems natural to eat & take too much, we see it!
I am no negative, glass half-full guy
Yet, the bible tells ALL sides of the story
Sinner-adulterer King David was yet God's Beloved
"A man after my own heart," God said of David
The devil made David to sin, the devil made me do it
There are more than love and charity within
The creature we feed, grows, truth for "sin"
ON DESIRE
Desire is the atrocious way of adultery.
If a person has the opportunity to another person's wife or husband,
that person takes it, most of the time.
These people have no less guilt than if they were caught in the act.
Individuals who decide to mix with adultery, surely become tangled in unhappiness and unstable life for themselves and their families.
Does anyone understand;
a priest who from the pulpit preaches against adultery,
And then that same man/woman of God;
goes and one of the parishioners who are also married.
From that same pulpit if I am an adulterer I am blamed,
accused and humiliated.
Do I believe in these hypocrites……
Of course not damn bastards and es.
Fornicator you believe in abortion
Adulterer you believe in abortion
Rapist do you believe in abortio
Father God has kissed your nose your lips blew his life essence
Into your tiny chest He created you
Instantly for it takes God man and a woman to create a human being
Always
Always it's a choice
Yet you believe that at certain trimester life
Isn't life but it only takes an instant
To create
a spark the breath of air from God's own light
Let's get it right
Who are you to kill a life
If you don't want a child women keep your legs closed pants up and dress down
Men keep your genitals to yourself

You’d assured me that you were not wed
we made passionate love in my bedroom
You gave me roses and pink champagne
adulterer should be your middle name
Adulterer should be your middle name
you gave me roses and pink champagne
We made passionate love in my bedroom
you’d assured me that you were not wed

Because I'm an adulterer, my town is making me wear the letter A.
People constantly stare at it and give me finger, I've had better days.
My town is very strict when it comes to adultery, they hate that sin.
But they're not doing it to the women, only to the men.
I tell people that the A stands for Archie but they don't buy it.
I was told that I'd better not remove it but I decided to try it.
When I removed the A from my chest, the jerks threw me down a well.
When people walked by, they peed on my head when they heard me yell.
They helped me get out the well two weeks later and I'd lost 35 pounds.
If you're a man, you'd better make sure not to commit adultery in this town.
Today, I was informed that I'll have to wear this A for another forty years.
If you're a man who lives in this town, you'd better get the hell out of here.
I was born a thief
a liar
a fornication
an adulterer
a murder
a sinner
why, then, am I punish
Because you have a choice
...speak sporadically in soft sassy syllables
...open opulent overtures to appease my err
...revoke risque rashness of the adulterer
...modulate too many manic memories.
savor satiable sweetly shared sensations,
admire adored avenues divinely alone.
target toxic tones forever together,
why wholly wade, wondering where we
faithfully failed famous fortuity forever?
A food fan sees a delicious cake
but not the caterpillar it is
A drunkard sees the nice beer
but not the poison in it
An adulterer sees the woman
but not the ring in her hands
An amorous woman sees the man
but not the consecrated priest
A power hungry ruler sees personal gain
but not loving service to the people
An imperialist sees natural resources
but not human beings living in the nation
A money loving worker sees wealth
but not service to the organization
Lust is like devil on the throne
It bedevils actions and thinking
Abel, the armored lancer, was a shameless adulterer not able
to give up for an hour the company of beautiful Anabel;
" I'm allowed to court anyone! " he squeaked out aloud,
" Why must an adulteress be cursed, to me it's superstitious!
I prefer sensual Anabel! She never denies my desires!
I won't bow and crawl! No angry Pope can make me cow!"
" I am joining the Crusaders and take Anabel with me,
in Jerusalem I will announce my bethrothal to her;
ah, my gracious wife Mary, you won't be so merry!
If they arrest me, a bale of jewel will guarantee my bail!"
And if the infidels kill me, " Anabel, send a message to my beloved Mary:
" I ask to be forgiven, not forgotten...I was very unfaithful to you;
in every battle I saw your devoted face so tearful, it was terrible...
I am too troubled and traumatized by this guilt which will bring me death."
