"War and Peace in the Days of Love’s Retribution"



All is fair 
in Love and War
they say 

Lost are the
gambling angels
who walk tight ropes

from the point 
where time departed
the jewel stolen from her crown 

sacrificed for 
something better
a child’s happiness

another fallen 
goddess 
tripping between 

the cracks...

It was kind of nice having money all the
		Time.
	Looking back when I was seventeen,
		I looked forward to going to work.
	It is unlike what I feel about work now.
		I did a lot of reading as a child.
	I read all kinds of books.
		I would consider Oak Lawn...

Retribution Is Not My Dog

Retribution is not my dog
No bone- no contrition
just another child who does
not listen or pay attention
karma please let um slide
i really ain't mad ...
life has beat um down enough
please karma let um slide.
Karma excuse my soft heart.
Retribution ain't always worth
the worry...

In sandy Egypt lived three men
In ancient days when pharaohs reigned
The kingdom of the pyramids,
Osiris and that Isis’ den,
Whom everyone worships and heeds,
Or at least doing so they feigned,
And those gods too blessed them and deigned.
But these three men round whom my tale
Will be revolved,...

Life can cause us pain.
The chapters of life vary.
There are lessons here.

No one escapes them.
Every challenge teaches us
Where to start again.

Our childhood lives on,
We rebel and we resist.
Change is not easy.

Mistakes remind us 
Of momentary lapses,
We have created.

Life provides balance.
There are highs and there are...

The cardinal shattered the chalice
with blood of his former god and
the men garbed in tainted white
glorified their new Son
sheer roars, juddering
holes in riot
meet your god
'neath your
feet!

So much has changed
Looking searching high and low but it slipped away
Why can't I find it 
Is it under the witness protection listed under a different name
I remember dreaming at night about how things would be mundane and cascade its way in to the plane...

Sorrow, suffering and karma are 
How life’s lessons are learned
And through them in the end, 
For the better our lives are turned.

And though during retribution, 
We don’t understand the pain
Each and everyone of us 
Get through it all the same.

So when your life turns upside...

Her sneezes didn't prevent her and John Deere from seeking vengeance...
leaving a carnage of dead grass and strewn tissues in her wake

The table was running with ale,
The wizard was starting his tale.
The barley-drunk swordsmen slouched near,
And tore at some dry hunks of bread,
And scowled as the sorcerer said:
“Come close and listen and fear—“
But they only glared at their beer.

Their leader unslung his long blade,
Said “You’re the...

Retribution is not my dog

No bone- no contrition

just another child

who does not listen

nor pay attention.

 

Karma please let um slide

i really ain't mad ...

life has beat um down enough

please Karma let um slide.

Karma, excuse my soft heart.

 

Retribution ain't always worth

the worry that it causes.

Forgive...

Canto I: The Words of Laozi  

The Divinely Illustrious Sage  
Prays for every soul to heed:
That neither woe nor weal
Heaven has foreordained,
But wrought by men alone,
The fruits of virtue and vice
Pursue the begetter like 
A shadow following the form!

Canto II: The Celestial Justiciars...

A prayer is like seduction to your soul
Your church is the glamour the world bestowals
Your bible is the flashy neon lights and billboards
Your truth is the multiplicity of greedy
Your salvation is fruition of materialism
Your retribution is its finitude and lost satiety
Heaven becomes invisible through the...
