Best Shalt Poems
In this coursing, crimson river
of my blood, you float.
There is no end to this, our eternal
amorousness.
Nay, not even human death can
remove us from Eros's moat.
Nor our touching hands' total
peacefulness.
So let's on, to the minutes as
they, like arrows, swiftly pass.
Your mistress awaits you in cobalt,
lace blue, summer gown!
Upon the kiss of morning dew on
this orb's verdant grass!
Let us do partake of vintage wines,
glorious breads and cheese till
God's sundown.
Let us dream of the children we
will create!
And weep tears of joy and blessed
happiness.
We revel in each second, so
divinely, and magically intimate.
To share with all humanity our
immutable, loves' holiness!

A stronger man inside true faith
he will always turn the other cheek
in the end
Our precious Lord and Heavenly Master
He received 5480 blows to honor his wounds we pray
not executing vengeance as it carries so much hate
such dark power destroys a soul
Take a good look at the world as is
greed eating out all good In darkness
Love is so pure a light
one look at its full
whole embracing pureness
dazzling we all will bow
Meek and gentle lambs kissing
we will kneel humble at our Creators feet
Our hearts tell us what is right in the end
happiness we all truly seek
God's justice not mans to carry out

Thou Shalt Not Kill
We think in a court of law . . .
Where the death sentence is being carried out
Use of the Holy Bible should never be allowed
For this breaks one of the Almighty Lord God’s
Moral imperatives in the Ten Commandments
Whereby, He declared: “Thou Shalt Not Kill.”
Our verdict on this subject is . . .
This action is certainly not a man-given right
To do such an immoral thing.
The very executors . . .
Of such a heinous sentence
Are no better than the
Monsters they kill,
But kill them they do.
We as human beings . . .
Truly must be better than this.
Or is this trait an indelible aspect of our psyche
And our collective Cosmic DNA?
Perhaps down the line . . .
God himself gives these particular sinners
A full taste of His Divine Redemption or His Divine Retribution.
His Choice.
The death penalty is not justice at all . . .
It’s just an easy way of getting rid of problems
And sweeping them conveniently under the rug.
Life is truly sacred . . .
“Thou Shalt Not Kill”
A timeless Christian virtue.
All of us, as thinking intelligent creatures . . .
Who inhabit this Earth
Should devoutly treasure this divine commandment.
Amen! Amen! Amen!

Narrative
A crime against man.
Committing suicide
A crime against man.
Committing suicide
Attempted suicide...
On the other hand...
Not suicide
Therefore, suicide is a criminal act and an attempt is not.
Sense can find way by understanding that man is of intellectual supremacy.
Man who attempts suicide is not committing suicide.
Meaning that no crime is committed.
Grey areas persist.
Life is an opinionated subject.
Face your own facts and serve justice accordingly so.
This is the finely lined aspect.
People often make errors in judgment(s).
That being said.
All of this...
Suicide is a crime.
But, the prosecution rests its case as justice is served through such death.
Man is of supreme intellect.
An attempt at suicide is more often a cry for help than a criminal act to the likeness of actual; completed suicide.
Smart people would, and often do, succeed in their attempt(s) of stealing their own lives—in the successful (failure) of actual suicide.
Suicide is a crime.
A murder in fact...
Attempted suicide is given exemption of law due to such intellectual rationalization.
Realizing that suicide will happen if actuated with (ir)rational intellectual reticulation.
At the end of the day we can all rest assured with this next line to be true.
Thou shalt not kill...
Including you—

"Thou shall not kill"
Was etched in stone
High on a mountain top
As if God cracked
His funny bone
And no one heard it pop
We kill to eat
And not just meat
But weeds and insects, too
And no one grieves
For garden thieves
Who stop by for a chew
Our need for food
Fuels endless feud
Leaving us in a bind
To feed our brood
We must conclude
Mankind just isn't kind!

Thou Shalt Not Talk
By Elton Camp
Religion, for purity, is a powerful force
On its adherents, rules it should enforce
Tiny Patna village in India has shown the way
Cell phone use by women is banned, they say
For any violators, a fine they will levy
If a single woman, it’s five time as heavy
This is what the village elders decreed
The very thing weak-willed females need
The reason village elders were choking
Some of their females were eloping
The action wasn’t take with undue haste
They saw the social atmosphere debased
An enlightened idea like this is just great
One that other countries should emulate
Democrats and Republicans should agree
So this law, in the USA, also comes to be

Reddening eyes of mine
Now thine,
Swathed by the unfurled truth, though
Embosomed by the darkness of
Disguise,
Now I shalt see what tramples
Inside…
Amidst a misty, ravening sky,
Convening ebony lies,
Contorting like rumbling thunder,
Veneering and shredding
The dark, cobalt portrait,
Like talons they
Imply…
Breezes of croons,
Swiftly they swoon
And lay themselves
Poised upon arid grounds,
They lay with empty sounds…
Swindling fear,
Void…
“Breathe thy power upon my skin,
Breathe virtue, breed intuition within…
Open my eyes… open my reddening eyes!”
“I have seen… I have realized…”
Ebbing void, Ebbing darkness,
As they fade into the mirror…

I am a man, Aryan and true.
Persian in heart, bow at hand, I stare at the skys deep wild blue.
Child of the Sun, Hunter of the lion, king of kings, creator of freedom.
Look upon me for I am man, barer of the earth, Risen from the sand.
From a child so small ive grown and grown, taking the land of powers so bold.
Lydia,Egypt,Babylon, and more for I shall not stop until nothing but PARSA is told.
From the reigns of my horse I ride throu the land, never to stop as far as i can.
Until one so bold to even face persia, the macedonian was born.
Now I look upon ruins of my people, forever lost in the lands of Issus.
Taken from us the power of the world, Macedonia offers only but crysis.
Wanting a barbarian ideolized people, the leader so young is taken forever.
Now by there own hand they are destroyed, taking from the aryans the endeavor.
For we Achemenids will fight forever.....

Run into open arms
Inviting secret charms
Race behind darkened doors
Harlots, rapists, worldly whores
Digress
Speak tones of love
Beautiful looking doves
Heavens gold is free and pure
Tempt me not just to be sure
Fly
Wise to listen but even glisten
As a drop of water listen
On angels wings now glide
Free from earthly pride
Thou shalt not hide!

It was not in dark dost thy life engage
For thou hast been given good friends with thee
And cheerful thy natural instinct edge
Yet heart hides fears thyself alone can see.
What plan dost thou create in mind conceal
That thou think a step ahead thy future?
Where didst thought placed thy heart's beauty reveal
While body walks its vigorous nature?
For thou claim unkwown 'tis not yet to come
So point out none of those time hast not done
When the world turns thee then change thee for some
Hinder not til thy fate by faith be thine.
All alone thou shalt not forever line
For hands are reserved by God to fit thine.

Sonnet
A woman once was ignored;
Neglected by me,
On arrival of new bride;
Photo in my purse,
Now was replaced by my wife;
Came to my rescue,
When I was in desperate need;
Though I forgot,
Spent days and nights with her;
Forgot her birthday too;
Yet she failed never in life,
kissing me, my spouse and kids,
In all my auspicious days;
A day when came,
Doctor said thy life is short
Kidney failure in critical stage;
All were shocked,
But none could help;
Mama too stood by my side,
Holding my hand;
Eyes were wet,
Rolling tears from her eyes;
The drops solaced my soul,
But depth of her pain I could feel;
She said once, yes only once,
Oh my God,
Why this to my blood?
Shalt see to it,
Thou live to care of thy kids;
I bore thou for nine months,
I gave thou birth;
Can't endure,
A tiniest pain of thou,
Tortures my heart;
Why I to live without my son...;
When gaining conscious,
Spouse handed in my arms,
A letter hand written by mom;
"It's my day, mother's day,
Though leaving this world,
I shalt always be with thou;
Stay attached as saviour mom;
My blessings to thou my son,
Shalt still be with you;
Thou may live,
As long as Sun and Earth";

Prose Poetry
The world is not driven by greed
it’s driven by envy …
Commandment 10 is carved in stone
positioned at the end
Where old injunctions miss their mark
a covetous reminder
Desirous of another’s place
—the devil painted green

What amazes me
with all the religions
Christian Muslim and Hebrew
you all believe in the same God
All the cults
and all of the behaviours
throughout history
Your God came down
To the mountain
and personally wrote
the ten commandments
Thou shalt not kill
How is it that Catholics
have killed Protestant
Protestant has killed Catholic
history is riddled with violence
today's world is
riddled with violence
they say "we are better than you,
so we have a right to kill you"
Yet surely if God took the time
to write personally
the ten commandments
do the not apply
To all of your religions,
thou shalt not kill
Christian cults started up
people in texas brought guns
The Authorities moved in
we all know the history
A massive group of Christians
committed suicide
Killing themselves
If the leaders of your religion
want you to kill yourself
or somebody else
shouldn't you ask
what happened to
Thou shalt not kill
written by God himself
If every man
refused to pick up a gun
there would be no more wars
following the path of peace
Is a decision
you should make
within yourself
God himself wrote the words

Religion
a prison…
to fence and restrain
Spoken
or written…
it tries to contain
What can’t
be conscripted
or coveted pure
The Presence
