What Nine Plagues Could Not Do
Israel had been under tyrant oppression
God sent Moses to redeem them from suppression
He promised to manifest His sign and wonder
And extend His Finger of Power over Nut, the god of thunder

Nile was like a sea of blood on the first day of the plague
The magicians...

Ten Plagues and One Hard Heart
Time has been that slavery was a common practice
War lords take over a nation then use the people for slaves
This went on in Israel, Egypt, China, and numerous other places.
We have heard of Pharoh of Egypt and Moses
Moses said to Pharoh one day, the God...

The Last Seven Plagues
The Last Seven Plagues

those who bore 'the mark'
screamed from painful ugly sores
First of the Last Plagues

the sea turned to blood
and everything in it died
Second of Last Plagues

the rivers and springs
became blood--no more water
Third of the Last Plagues

the sun had power
burning people with fire
Fourth of the...

Plagues Playing Ping Pong Pick Pock Peck Z
Cathedrals in tea cups. Jingle jangle playtime then. Golden slippers on a carpet of custard. Slip slide. Drip. No droop. Flavoured water is never fake. Obviously. And count the jellied eels in a bath of crumbs. How very entertaining and mystical. Nine senses of the...

When Anger Plagues the Heart
When anger plagues the heart it seems
The words we say hurt so much more.
Tempers may fly, break at the seams,
As we try to even the score.

When anger plagues the heart it seems
We forget the good times we had.
We dump the joys, the hopes, and dreams,
And...

The Plagues of Our Day
The blind man waited, 
at the intersection, for someone
to help him cross the busy boulevard...
and he was accustomed to live in twilight,
fumbling for a hand on his right;
and he finally found mine!


Judge humanly...not pettily,
you could be in that situation 
and feel abandoned and helpless,
unless somebody...

PLAGUES
Play with plagues
Sing with states
Fake with fragrance 
Steal with slates
Draw humans with dust
Brag with health
Drowning in the shadows ofsoberiety
I am a lost child 
I stay solo
And speak so low  
In frightening bellow
I am mean
With no meaning 
I am god...

Plagues In Plateau
There have never been a day
as dark as yours
There have never been a night
as sleepless as yours

Let those who mourn mourn aloud
For this is a time to cry
Let those who weep weep aloud
Till their voice are dried

I heard some strangers killed your sons
I heard your...

Passion Plagues
Destiny baits rendering fiats.
The extremes turn to falling dreams.
I’ve lost all cause and placed cost.
My heart is dead and blue plagues the nail bed.
Forget the past and die for what must last....

Premium Member Plagues, Riots and Quills
as soon as this latest plague is over
and the riots dampen a bit,
the gentle muse can be coaxed from  
the leper's mask and rubble,
to pick up the quill and start scribing
about frogs-flowers and fawns
or maybe It'll be inspired by a goose
that offered it's feather...

Premium Member Old Pharaoh - 1 of 2
Old Pharaoh had enslaved the Jews; he would not let them go.
So God devised a mighty scheme; his go-to guy was Mo.
His brother Aaron was the voice, for Moses talked real slow,
So he would wave his arms around, but God would make it so.
Now Moses,...

Premium Member Old Pharaoh - 2 of 2
For Pharaoh still exalts himself and thinks he’s in control,
But if he won’t release my folk, he’ll pay a heavy toll.
Tomorrow I will bring down hail like Egypt’s never seen,
On plants and trees and man and beast, and flatten everything.
But those who fear this word...

Basest Traitorous Titan
I fought one piggish Titan and I won
As if that devious Leech existed not; 
Sealing the very firy nose of his gun
With ball-like rags to sap every shot.

A long-lionized mogul of giant name
Slew my low fists by a magic stroke;
Vilest Judas glossing in pesty fame,
I...
