What if The Mark of the beast
were a certain amount of lies
Not just simple truths like ok.
I'm doing fine
What if the mark of the beast
were just taking of a life
not self defence, but the cruelty
you decided
What if the mark of the beast
was adultry of every kind
casual sex, prostitutes
or something a mate denighs
What if the mark of the beast
Were any kind of bribe
Both offered and the taken
behind blinded eyes
What if the Mark of the beast
were that fetish we desired
too many to name are the sins
each one of us requires
What if the Mark of the beast
were neglecting our brothers needs
too lazy to offer help
or speak somethings on our knees
What if the Mark of the beast
was just saying God is wrong
ignoring His commandments
singing dirty songs
What if the mark of the beast
were just simply a tatoo
would you still refuse to get it
even though you couldn't buy any food
Naughtiness always seems to be a hit
Tried different genres but naughties are it
Something about undies
Eating your crunchies
It sure makes me want adultry to commit
just kidding
Coquets with many I was blind
Hoodwinked for many years
Exploited all I gave to you
Adultry is your mistress
Tainted by your selfishness
Enveloped in your lies
Recreant that you are
In a perfect world... There would be no "black, white".
And that means racism would not excist!
In a perfect world... Everyone would bathe in each others radiating light,
And hugs would replace a shaking fist.
In a perfect world..." Cancer" would only be a word found in a dictionary,
And no ailment would plague the human body again!
In a perfect world... My friend would no longer be called "Stuttering Mary",
And I comand my words to become reality with this very pen!
In a perfect world... Marriage would be truly universal poetry,
And no one would ever experience heartache.
In a perfect world... Man nor woman would ever worry about adultry,
Yet, only think of the continuous love they would make!
In a perfect world... I would be your King that sits on a throne,
And You would forever be my girl!
In a perfect world... No one would ever spend time on Valentines Day alone,
But hey, that's only in a perfect world!!!!

Wrote for contest... In a perfect world....
There's a real old famous saying,
which has me wondering, just a bit!
"If all the world's a stage",
where does the audience sit?
One thing to me's a misnomer,
and I ain't fooling round!
Swimming, ain't no sport, my friend,
it's what you do, so you don't drown!
Somethings been confusing me!
It's messing up my head!
My wife says I don't listen,
at least, I think that's what she said!
"Let a smile be your umbrella",
so goes an old refrain.
But, if that's your choice, I guarantee,
you'll get a face full of rain!
Here's a point to ponder!
I wonder if it's true?
Infants can enjoy their, infancy, just like
adults who enjoy their adultry, do!
Here's a very startling fact,
about a very unique situation.
There's a very old Country, where all autos are red!
You could call it "A Red Carnation"!
and as it began
so will it end
for we knew
times end.
there will always be He
beyond
the limits of our todays
are the promise of His tomorrow.
and as it began
it will end
for we knew
sorrow in the warmth
of the sun.
His son,
a boy so wise
to know his father
a woman
to know her life.
and as it began
so will it end
in my wait
my solitude.
I am His
he is ours
I the lesser
for he is the Love.
Mine merely a promise
to them
to know our tomorrows
and begin
as it will end
in
time.
