Best Idolatrous Poems


Premium Member Thanksgiving Testimony

Lord, thank You for saving…
…my condemned life that was bound to hell
By Your grace, excelling compassionately well 
With Your redemption* so that in heaven I can surely dwell
Transforming me from rebelliousness thru the Gospel!
	
Lord, thank You for rescuing…
…my sinful soul from the lake of fire
By Your love, fulfilling the perfect sacrifice You did require 
With Your pardon acquitting me from penalty of sin’s mire
Making me Your child, tamed by Your kindness that doesn’t expire!

Lord, thank You for winning…
…my arrogant nature from filthiness
By Your mercy, vanquishing evil and wickedness
With Your justification for my righteousness
Enabling me to strive for holiness!

Lord, thank You for prevailing over…
…my vain faith in false religion
By Your Scriptures, rebuking every idolatrous region
With Your truths to free me from abomination’s dungeon
Snatching me from the devil’s deceiving legion! 

Lord, thank You for converting…
…my deceitful heart midst pride’s deadly cost
By Your humility, reaching out to the lost
With Your power and might of the Holy Ghost
Leading me to submit to You, serving with my best and utmost!
 
Lord, thank You for cleansing…
…my self-willed personality from carnality’s impurity
By Your sanctification, purging every worldliness, and vanity
With Your purification from any iniquity
Blessing me in obeying Your authority! 

Lord, thank You for driving…
…my uncertain future to Your direction from terrible disaster
By Your omniscience, controlling all events as the Master
With Your victory against tribulation's setter
Guiding me to aspire for Christ-like character!

*1Corinthians 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.

Battle of the Gods

In Monolithic monuments are the bringers of the derelict dawn
I see many idolatrous idols, forged in ancient bibliothecal Babylon
Within worshipful winds, that carry words of parasitical praise
And indulging in illusions that comfort their camouflaging craze

I am the god of Lust beware my tempestuous heinous hunger
My appetite for decadent desire keeps me forever younger
I am the god of Gluttony beware my excessive consumption
The more I ferociously feed, the more for my euphoric eruption

I am the god of Greed beware my matriarchal material possessions
I want what I want and not what I need, to satisfy my aggressions
I am the god of Sloth beware my lazy inhabitations and failure to act
In my dormant dwellings, savoring sanctuaries where I safely retract

I am the god of Pride beware my self-indulging pompous portray
I talk to merciful mirrors that reflect reinforcing rumors my way
I am the god of Envy beware my desire to obtain what you possess
I want to experience everything, the secret to my seductive success

I am the god of Wrath beware my feelings of anger and habitual hates
Waging worthless wars as I open up the homogeneous hellion gates
The gods have spoken, their words eternal spread throughout eternity 
In the efficacious end, Love will conquer all, so I say to you... ‘Let It Be’

Broken-Hearted Caressing Sorrow

Broken-Hearted Caressing Sorrow



Where do you bring a broken heart, damaged dreams that won’t depart?
Where do you go when things fall apart, serving silent screams a la carte?
What do you do with a saddened soul, within a virulent void a skinless sole?
What do you do when you’re in a hole, progressive paranoid a shadow stroll?

Within the stillness of my solitude, a storm exists admits a sacrificing seclude
The eyeful emptiness of a life subdued, the evil enlists a blasphemous brood
Within the veil of my bitter black, the idolatrous infant sleeps in a shackled sac
On the wall, my punitive plaque, of the wounded weeps that scornfully stack

Who will be there for me, to mourn, escaping earth a denticulate dust reborn?
Who will be there for me, to warn, a residual rebirth of a lifeless embryo torn?
Who will kiss me before I dimly die, a wretched wreck in a shattered satirical sky?
Who will be there for me, to cry, a segregated speck ceremonially left to calcify?

The light lingers before it falls on my face
Edacious echoes engulfed will embrace

The barbarians of Babylon will bemuse
Silent screams slumber in nomadic night
As the dogmas of deceit deluge in delight

Wandering waves of woe thru the mist
The blackness bereaves with a feudal fist
Apparitions appease the malefic mind
Idolatrous illusions a cancerous confined

The red moon menstruates the mirthful
A lunatic laughter of the hidden hurtful
Dimensional demons deft in their defend

Thank You for pardoning me for my iniquities

Idolatry

An Aryan Christ under glass
Is beaming his charity down
As Emma thinks "This too shall pass.",
Regarding the heart of her frown.

Beside Him a handsome young man
Smiles on the same hallowed wall
The same idolatrous plan
Emma believes to be all.--

Pictures on a wall.

Premium Member Rights of Justice

When criminal justice
is not also undiscriminating mercy
it is also not social
or even economic justice.

When political power
is not also self with other empowering
then it is also anti-social
and not sustainable 
economic power.

When sacred lives
are not also organic loves,
then we are also logically idolatrous
and not ecologically informed
by Earth's economically regenerative rights
and politically degenerative wrongs.

A Witch's Irony

Three witches
by one sword drawn
from heaven at the
inching of day
thrice regarded, naught
but once slain
for high treason by jury
though not of sound mind
idolatrous fancy its credo
and kind
but divine be certain mercy
oft a misnomer of fools
for whom heresy converts
in the shallowest pool
therefore say the witches let
fate run her course
when the fire avenges
let it be from our source

Great White Father,

About those anti-BadNewsMedia rallies
while our SouthWest is burning
and while our SouthEast is flooding
and wet windstorm conflagrating,
feeling the flamed-up wrath
of an angry EarthGoddess,

Why do you plant and nurture hate
and anger
against potential WinWin integral communicators?

Did it not once occur to you
to wonder why you chose to be elected
in this climate precarious time?

Why are you like BadNews zealously mendacious Saul
when we so obviously need a more integrated St. Paul?
Filled and overflowing with healthy integrity,
Holy Matriarchal Spirit-Nature.

Your mockery
and tongue-lashing
and transparent ego-promotion
will not help one child
recall what a great job you did
while made in U.S. of A. family homes 
and forests are burning
longer and stronger
every devolutionary decade.

Your egotism
and anthropocentrism
further inflame climate disasters
and absence of accessible health care,
cooperatively given as received,
and healthy wealth of economic and politically reasonable reassurance
that, together,
as a healthy bicameral democracy,
we can rebuild this co-dominating
co-operative constitutional
integrity we so redemptively WinWin need

We need to gather to heal Earth's climates,
not to destroy them
with bad attitude and vilifying pathologies
rather than gratitude and health-wealth celebrations
to restore justice and invite cooperatively owned peace
into ego/eco-centered green health hearts 
and wealth societies
reforesting our WinLose deserts,

Revolve 
resolve our storming desserts
for past hubris
of Great White Fathers
demanding missionary colonization
inflaming idolatrous hate
rather than inviting
our seas to still
our surviving trees to witness our worship.

One difference between you
and Barack Hussein
I notice you never mention:

You look at historical outcomes
for nature/spirit WinWin Native Americans
and gleefully declare
"They lost!"
Barack recalls those same disempowering outcomes
and sadly, yet more patriotically, notes
"We all lost."

I wonder if the burning homes
and trees
can hear that terrifying empathic difference
for future integrity 
of a  mental and physical 
mind and body
spiritual and natural healthy democracy.

Pentastich-No Pity For the Jews

They were once enslaved in idolatrous Egypt,
and Moses led them out of that wicked land,
when the Third Reich came to power in Europe,
Hitler deepened his hatred for them; no nation 
dared to save them, so their extermination began.


They were locked in the cramped rooms of concentration camps,
later burned in gas chambers, then thrown into mass graves;
their human lives were worthless to him, and many walked
into those darkened chambers filled with the stench of death,
holding their children so afraid and shivering in the bitter cold.


In the windowless rooms with bankers beds, scary eyes roved in darkness:
in there, life was a flickering candle kept alive by an incredible faith,
and God in His immense mercy, descended here to comfort them...
while the Evil One continued to spread death and fear among nations;
no documents were found, but piles of corpses witnessed those atrocities.

Premium Member My Heart Held a Funeral

My heart held a funeral today
The love I had for you in decay...
I enshrouded myself in black
While sobs my weak body wrack
My face swathed in filmy lace
So others the tears could not trace
The requiem played in my mind
No solace could I find
By the casket, I sat still
Forcing myself at will
To accept my tragic loss
I look at the golden cross
On the box in which lies entombed
That which my hidden feelings exhumed
The idolatrous image of you
All I held noble and true
That which I had adored
Which in my heart I had stored
I had to bid farewell
Whether to heaven or to hell
Your image would take flight
To bright day or morbid night
The funeral must come to an end
My heart in need of a chance to mend

But, you...you are not dead
It's only true in my head
You are still alive
And oh, how you thrive…
Breathing and moving
Speaking and wooing
Teasing and dreaming
Smiling and scheming
Alive...deliriously alive
And oh, how I must strive
For you're close, still bright
You fill my eyes with delight
Such a sight to behold
A heart I thought was pure gold
But your soul….
Ah…your soul
For me has died
And I mourn and I weep
As this secret I keep
I beat my chest and wail
All to no avail

I thought you were fine	
Exquisitely divine…
But what could I do?
A fault was found in you
One that I could not ignore
And so I frantically tore
My garments in lament
I had thought you...heaven sent

Today I attended a funeral
And I know recovery will be long
The secrets in that coffin belong
I rise to leave the funeral hall
Where from the pedestal you did fall
Still weeping…weeping
My wounded heart keeping
The tale of the great demise
Of your image in my love struck eyes

Premium Member My God, Thank You For Granting Me Your Salvation

August 27 Scripture Meditations Based on Jonah 1-2

Key Verse – Jonah 2:9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD. 
 
MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR GRANTING ME YOUR SALVATION

Thank You for granting me Your salvation from hell’s fire
By Your love that pulls my soul against evil mire
Making me assured of heaven when I physically expire---
Not doubting Your truths which never retire.

Thank You for granting me Your salvation from sin’s penalty
By Your grace that forgives my iniquity
Making me cleansed against idolatrous impurity---
Not staining Your goodness with my insecurity.

Thank You for granting me Your salvation from Satan’s destruction
By Your power that protects my redemption
Making me guarded toward righteousness’ intensification---
Not defying Your instructions’ declaration.

Thank You for granting me Your salvation from worldliness’ toxin-blight
By Your sanctification that purifies me to enjoy Your light
Making me settled unto holy works’ plight---
Not abandoning Your pardon delight.

Thank You for granting me Your salvation from selfishness’ entrapment
By Your guidance that directs my choice toward Your fulfillment
Making me satisfied in godly contentment---
Not disobeying Your commandment.

Thank You for granting me Your salvation from transgression’s enclosure
By Your deliverance that upholds my testimony against pressure
Making me enriched with divine treasure---
Not forgetting Your edifying worship pleasure.

Thank You for granting me Your salvation from religion’s bondage
By Your Word that illumines my mind against idolatry’s damage
Making me rescued toward scriptural freedom advantage---
Not limiting Your blessing-package.

It Happened Before


Understand this,
understanding matters!
Wrap your mind around 
a spicy burrito sun flared thought
Now take a bite ... 
see the fuego aurora bursts of light
Elevating spiritual awareness
fires up the furnace brimstone coals,
and pumps up the prophetic bellows
Knowledge of God is a wisdom bush
not consumed by the carnal flame
Carbon-based messengers speaking invisible truth,
declare dark parables made plain
Understanding that time moves
back-and-forth like a passenger train
And every weary time traveler
knows when to presently rest 
and get strengthened by a warm repast
The manna of a Melchizedek life
is understanding this:
What has happened in the future,
will happen in the past once more
What was known before the blocks of creation
were set into the foundation of the void
Is now shown in cornerstone visions of destruction:
See every evil work cast into the boiling bottomless pit,
where mad babble bubbles the gnashing noise — 
Volcanic eruption of viper voices spewing idolatrous vomit 
Understand this,
salvation is all that matters
The message delivered from the future,
was received in the past before
Children of the Son of Man,
faith is the key
Allowing those who believe
to walk on the watery grave sea floor
Understanding this:
He who was nailed on the cross,
is coming back once more
Apocalypse now is even at the door — 
so understand this: In the mind of God,
it has already happened before!
