Best Idols Poems

They are like two beam lights that claim the stage 
on a hot summer eve in the middle of a makeshift 
floor parkette made of wood, varnish, and lights that aim 
They are more than two American dollies dressed 
in French lace and boudoir lipsticks...

The answer has been my motivation,
keeping me awake through the night,
keeping me in love with my passion,
the language of my forefathers,
The answer has been given, inspiring
those before and after his own words,
Yet it rests clear as day in one
of Uncle Walt's most prized pieces,

The answer...

When your idols are fragile
Is it any wonder kids lack style
Perhaps if we walked a mile
In the shoes of the soldier we'd attain guile

Look at the newspaper
The government is a caper
And everything will taper
Due to greed and paper

Veterans are homeless begging for scraps
And Millennials are...

Reach into my depths, I could,
pulling out pieces of fallen idols,
From contemporary to eccentric,
From cynics to realists, to romantics,
searching deeply to find my voice,
If indeed, I have acquired such a tone
as those who inspire my very thoughts,
Thoreau, Coleridge, Crane, Byron, Poe,
Frost, Hayden, Hughes, and Gibran,

Pertinent...

Latter day idols 
Scrape the sky and
Stand as Monuments; 
Harboring the corruption of men.

A true monument
Stands out in the open.
The real beauty
Forgotten by the Creators.

Beneath the feet of these giants,
Lay solemn foundations of hope....

Life's theatre, tears and faces
Dreams have burnt with silent stories
Hit in back with shot or lances
Idols die without their sorries

Smoke of drugs syringe injection
Stars are putting out in spirit
Take guitare and drums, make action!
Bear illusion just like titbit.

They are known and they are famous
Gods of...

Grand basilicas
built to papal false idols
of graven image -
to apostate relics from
pagan Rome and Babylon!...

Fallen Idols
You worship the golden calf
I see you are still in the valley
Crawling on your knees
Looking for forgiveness
Crying for mercy 
Hungry for manna from heaven
A slave to that idol
Made by your blood stained hands
Conceived
A new birth
A citizen of Sodom and Gomorrah
On the alter of false...

idols become gods
 leaving churches desolate
 like ancient ruins
 rising without glory
 but still reaching for heaven...

Stone Idols and Crimson Angels cannot give us what we need
             Instead, create confusion, delirium… living on the edge
        Luring temptations, no explanations, give way to...

Praise not icons
But follow the unseen
God's larger than a portrait
That of faith and blood is what washes you clean 
So be strong and wise 
And do not make a graven image of thee
Repent and be earnest
Because great rewards await thee...

People in the Bible worshipped idols time and time again.
They did it even though doing so was a terrible sin.
People once worshipped Baal, it was one of the idols.
People refused to worship God even though it was vital.

When God saw people worshipping idols, it really...

the scapular of your anguish
wounds the insolent chest of your enlightenment with blood
a world in disenchantment cries its drunken hymns
but only jackals lick the nectar of these pains
because the night drives away the naive and innocent
and it is with the irreverence of the lost that...

Once upon a golden calf
is now a raging bull

Once a saviour walked on water
now He walks on oil

Surrounded by disciples bent
on scorching fertile soil

Oligarchies drunk on power
will never have their full

would I were in a lifeless world
     in which I had no ancestors
          in which there was no mark of man
     which was blank with no sectors

I see...
