Demonically Dispossessed
Demonically Dispossessed

...man has the ability to express great love,
and dispense great evil...


The legions of darkness descend as they beastly bewilder and offend
The serpents of Babylon attend as their ecumenical evil does extend
In a pandemonium plunge with pernicious pains and succulent sponge
With tenacious tongues they lunge...

Destiny of the Dispossessed
As you flee behind you hear
Your hate filled screaming foes
Pillaging and burning
Their tutored hatred beyond reason
For no reason
Loudspeakers hastily erected amongst the rubble
Play a dirge of victory
As they hold a pyrrhic parade

As you flee to who knows where
North, south, east or west? 
Don't know. Don't...

Dispossessed
Down and out, destitute 
In dire need , no help or
Support only war or dispute,
Poverty for those we adore,

Spiritually and morally 
Subjected to the impossible 
Exploited so horribly 

Societies lack of conscience 
Subdue emotional control
Ending or to recommence  
Dispossessing  heart...

Long I've been dispossessed of your touch divine
Yet I persist...

DISPOSSESSED 

Running,
Running…
We are always running, 
running again. 

I clutch my son’s small hand, 
his fingernails drive into my palm.
Running, Running again, 
and the cold is catching up to us.

Every step is slippery, against the
permafrost, and muddy sludge. 
Running, limping, run…
What to tell my son. 

Do...

The Thief
THE THIEF  

I circle you slowly,
blow in dust from the south,
I smother your nose,  
and breathe in your mouth.

I force you to strangle, 
to spit up black mash,
Stinging your tongue,  
turning lashes to ash. 

I can make myself hotter, 
I’ll broil your...
