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...

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...

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:...

People claim 
to follow God 
To follow Allah
Moses went up onto 
the Mountain 
and came back 
with the ten commandments 
Thou shalt not kill
Christian's  claim to follow God
Thou shalt not kill
America claims to follow God
Thou shalt not kill
Palestinians claim follow God
Israelis claim to follow...

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...

"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...

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,...

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...

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...

Severe surge regarding thou shalt not kill violations

Fifth commandment breached regularly
epidemic of gun violence in America
bullets fly, scream and tear into flesh
senseless rampant mass killings
rip across fabric of society
buzzfeeding, jump/kickstarting, 
paradigm of mortality.

Since January first
two thousand and twenty three
countless innocent people lost lives
deliberately, yet randomly...

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...

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...

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...

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

(Dreamsleep: March, 2023)...

Religion
a prison…
to fence and restrain

Spoken
or written…
 it tries to contain

What can’t
be conscripted
or coveted pure

The Presence 
as given
—freely endures

(The First Book Of Prayers: January, 2022)....
