He was clamored dead!
Without being stabbed,
Without being poisoned,
Without being sick:
The angels' arch summoned him
To see the Heavens and Hell
And samples of judging the just and the unjust.
He was diabolical in deeds!
Defining himself to be the Sun that shines
The comments proved he deserved such a decampment.
“Sing! the snob who did us turpitude has travelled," they retorted at the scene.
His body was demanded for a quick burial
But a few prayed to wait it till the next sunup.
The eyes of revenge were gravely opened!
Then, at down, in the sixth hour,
The heavenly bodies and hemispheres implored for an amnesty of chance
And Gabriel gave heed to their plea
Charging him to be reputable.
At mercy the masterful soul revisited its flesh
It behoved him to repair the very engine of his life.

There he lay on the foul smelling uneven sandy ground,
Dead by beheading, blood seeping underneath the severed head,
An atrocious act urged by a drunken adulterous queen.
He was already dead, but the head had to be totally severed.
A sharp knife did the trick and a wanton tart had a plate
Ready to receive the Baptist head. Looking on only one showed any pity,
The rest indifferent were just ready to please their queen.
The dungeon was not even lighted as behoved a condemned man.
What makes this painting remarkable, one might ask?
Michelangelo Merisi Caravaggio was in Malta and the painting
Was commissioned by the Order of the Knights of Malta,
And hanged in an Oratory for criminal trails.
Caravaggio lifted traditional religious scenes and cast them
With his own dark interpretation. Thus light and darkness
Played a big part in the painting. All main characters are bathed in light,
The rest is in darkness as befitted a dungeon.
A masterpiece of chiaroscuro still to be admired in Malta.

*Reserata Carcerem XLVI*
Salient Sufi quondam was hexed;
haggard hags hoisted hurls 'n' were vexed,
apt alakazam gin behoved -
ere, he'd betrothed marred mercies thrown.
Pestered paddock anon hurled hymns,
pored panther knocked 'p gaunt 'n' gullible thrill,
apared asp pruned pulpy foils time tossed,
taunted trio 'n clumsy cauldron washed.
Sent they then wanky winds t' bear thence
ere sassy Sufi wh' loathed rec'mpense.
T' transient agora bore they him;
a felon furrow 'n an isle's lips.
Jolting judgement torn trio ñ him leased;
an attendant t' paddock 'n' asp's spree.

Concerning those that be
Of Confidence's corporeal beauty,
Not much can compare,
For she lights up lanterns by
Igniting sparkling flames in hearts of
Deprsssion with a full smile.
E'er was one so radiant born?
Nay, only a few blessed.
Concerning that which is behoved
Even God relishes this day.

A duty or responsibility requires someone to do something.
An action is both required and behoved.
Keep Families Together and Intact
From families children should not be removed;
And by Trump this should have been behooved,
Take care of;
Show his love,
If he ever really wants things to be improved.

THE WHEELS OF PEACE
Rock hard massive glacier gigantic
Under the clout of heat it melts it flows
Resists not though inner strength titanic
Fully into ocean crushed out it goes
Chose to stay only in the heart that loved
And in memories of mind that cherished
Tenet of willful sacrifice behoved
Altruistic submission so flourished
As you in my life’s canvas tried to paint
I let you scramble with bad strokes of dark
No blame suffered in silence all your taint
Stars mute in sky and me a voiceless lark
To win or to lose part of every game
Time tested victors are never the same!
