The chord wrapped around his neck
As he was unwilling to pay the penalty of the law
Why should he bow his knee to derelicts
When he had preached against the sin of the fall
She came in looking all cute and coy
She's a girl, I'm a boy...a very little boy
We'll play a game in secret and feel connected
I'll tell her life will be destroyed if "IT" is unprotected
What a wonderful WORD to deliver to the hopeless
Spiritual leadership has the highest protection
When the flesh ROARS at little girls and boys
They cover "the fall" from open detection
Denial is a weapon against ignorant liars
Rushing around, stirring up blazing fires
The institution must survive all attacks
Lest our deceptive nation show what it lacks
......TRUTH.....
For those who are called to walk in LOVE
Caesar's due must be paid, first
Drunkards, Harlots, Murderers and Thieves
In prison, while predators give drink to those who thirst
But the one who bore all the guilt and shame
Hung on a Cross, innocent, without blame
Humility will come, unbidden, without recourse
The heart will submit or harden without remorse
....in the balance....

Standing by the colosseum
Is the time of the last persecution
When the houses of Caesar
call out for revenge
Byzantine highways have lost their sheen
thwarted tall ships fall
and trumpets sound
relics of soldiers roam
you walk to your fate alone

Do you work at Little Caesars and your name is Jenny
The reason I'm asking is “Cuz Ur Hot And I'm Ready”
Whatta pick-up line
The best of all time
I'll be there about eight and my alias is Eddy

Truly how blessed are we not to bow to the barbaric chivalry
Of emperors and kings’ in raging insanity
Historical madness runs in the house of Caesars
Considered great, ruler of lands and seas
The house of Caesar wrought constant battles and
Incestuous orgies
Leprous Tiberius crucified thousands under his feet
From simple paranoid fantasies,
Separating himself, even from family
Ruling from afar just as he pleased,
To hell with the senate and their democracy-
Maddened in fear
A sweet young Caligula went to live
With his uncle Tiberius in his 16th year,
Ill of health from his day born
Caligula gratified by habits of Tiberius adorned,
Any evil or sin Caligula added to his very name
Even delegating his horse to the senate,
laughing with no shame-
Oh and how his people loved him during his rising rule
Adoring his gifts to them, laughing whilst
To the senate he was so cruel.

Well, America, I’ll tell you:
Religion for me ain’t been no picnic.
It’s had ticks,
And ants,
And grass deathly-brown---
Dead.
But through the years
I’ve been a-skatin’ on,
And fashioning circles,
And cheating God,
And sometimes drinking secrets of the dark
Void of compassion.
So, America, keep your backs against the wall.
Don’t rock your babies upon the knees of strangers
‘Cause you’ll find it’s quite careless.
Don’t you scream now---
For I’m still drinking, honey,
I’m still skatin’,
And religion for me ain’t been no picnic.

loving her was like statues with no arms,
empty
ancient
